The people of this county ire
spective of former party associa-
tions, are fast waking up to the fact,
that they are suffering because sill
yer has been stricken down as n
money metal, in the interest of
the gold-demanding bondholder,
and realizing that their only hope
of escape from oppression and ruin,
is to vote for the free coinage of
silver, and demand that it be re-
stored to the position it has always
held as money of ultimate redempt-
ion, with all its constitutional legal
tender qualities, it possessed prior
to the crime that demonetized it in
1873.

Tho SmalrBoy,s Day.

1t is probably useless TO sigh for
the good old style of celebration,
for the conduct of affairs on this
day MS well as upon most other
days has been relegated to the
small boy, and the average small
boy is far from being one of the
moblest works of creation on the
Fourth of July or OH the fourth
day of any other month in any
other year. The only consolation
in the cnse is that as he goes for
ward into manhood minus leg,
arm, hand or eye he may look back
with some degree of regret at his
own breezy idiocy and discourage
the hideous mongolian ceremony
with which young Americans ex-
press their gratitude over the re-
turn of the glorious day.

BURDEN JEWEL ROBBERY.
No Arrests Yet Made and No Clue to
 the Thieves.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-No announce ment of the recovery of any part of the S5S,00O worth of jewels and money taken from the residence of Isaac Townsend Burden on East Twenty sixth street was made today, nor was the capture of anyone implicated in the robbery heralded. While it was evident that the detectives were striv- ing their utmost to retrieve the repu- tation of ithe detective bureau, no hint of any hopeful discovery was given.
 The rumor that MT. Burdens adver- tised offer to negotiate for the return of the jewels has resulted in a com munication from the thieves was not verified, as both Chief Detective O'Brien and MT. Burden are mute to all inquiry on the subject. Color to the rumor was, however, given by Mr. Burdens dOings while his declaration that there was no good news late in the day suggested that the crank had not failed to seize on such golden oppor- ltunity to assert himself.
 Mrs. Burden takes the loss of her diamonds philosophically, but is as founded at the boldness of the robbers. The $3O,0OO tiara, which formerly be- longed to the Empress Eugenie, is the one particular. jewel she would like very much to get back. Many Of the other diamonds were cherished souve- nirs and were highly prized outside their intrinsic value.

TO DISPEL LONDON'S FOG.
General Dryenfurth, the Rainmaker
 Has New Scheme.

DETROIT, Jan. 4.-General R. G. Dryenfurth, the rainmaker, has a scheme to dispel the famous London fog. He has been in correspondence with leading officials of that city, and it is said fund of $50,0OO will be raised with which to conduct experiments Hundreds of thousands of dollars a day would be saved in the metropolis if the fog could be prevented. The Dyrenfurth fog scheme is only a varia- tion of his rainmaking one. It in- cludes the use of hydrogen gas and ex- plosive balloons.
 His plan is to establish fog stations below the city and begin his campaign against it as the fog rolls in from the sea. His bombardment of the skies would produce rain, he says, and when that was started the fog would be dis pelled.

QUIET IN THE TRANSVAAL Reform Promised by the
 BOerS. Details of the Late Decisive
 Battle. Foreigners Demand Representation In the Government of the
 Republic.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Colonial of flee received a dispatch from Johannes burg at 4 o'clock this morning saying all was now quiet.
 An official dispatch from the gov ernor of Cape Colony says: "Sir Jacob Dewitt, British agent at Pretoria, wires that everything is quiet and no further serious disturbances will oc- cur. A deputation from the Johannes burg reform committee came to Pre- ltoria to give guarantees to keep the peace and maintain. order and waited upon President Kreuger and informed him of the guarantees. He gave as surance that the Johannesburg people will keep quiet and commit no hos tilities or in any way break the laws of the country. Johannesburg will not be molested or surrounded by the burgher's forces. The deputation was highly gratified for this assurance and pledged the committee to preserve peace and order The prisoners have just arrived The casualties on their side are said to be severe and on the side of the burghers very light"
 Another dispatch from Sir, Hercules Robinson to MT. Chamberlain, reads thus: Dewitt writes that Jamiesons wounded number over thirty. They are at Kreuger's and attended by doc tors. Their names and details of their wounds cannot yet be given. The number of killed is estimated at sev- enty, but no reliable information is obtainable Bodies are still being picked up on the battlefield and bur jed"
 Cape Town papers state tha. Sir Charles Willoughby and Captain White, a brother of Lord Annally, are lodged in the Pretoria jail t'Srey and Coventry of the BechuanaIand police and a brother of the Earl of Coventry are wounded. The Boers captured about 800 prisoners.
 Dr. Janlieson yielded af.er he had lost at least twenty-nine men. The battle lasted from o'clock in the af- ternoon until Il at night. Jamieson led the three principal attacks and his men distinguished themselves with great gallantry.
 A private and reliable telegram re- ceived here this afternoon from Pre- toria says President Krueger has de- clared that he is willing to make sat isfactory concessions to the foreign population of the Transvaal, whose demonstration for representation in view of the fact that they contribute practically the whole revenue of the republic led to the ill feeling which resulted in Dr. Jamieson's raid.

TELEPHONES ON TRAINS.
Successful Test Conducted by Brook
 lyn Bridge Officials.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Pres,dent Howell, Bridge Trustees Keaney and Henriques and Superintendent Martin took trial trip over the New York and Brooklyn bridge yesterday to test the use of telephones on bridge cars The train was fitted up with a tele- phone connected with an overhead wire over the car. Each guard had a headpiece, receiver, and the dispatcher at both ends had similar movable ear piece. On the trip to New York and back the trustees used the guards ear pieces and communicated with the Brooklyn train dispatcher, the New York dispatcher, chief engineers $ office, general ticket office and the en- zine room.
 While the train was on it's way to Brooklyn the Brooklyn train dis patcher dropped the block signal to stop the train. Conductor Ross had handed his telephone headpiece to President Howell. The la. ter asked the dispatcher to drop the block signal. The conductor was not acquainted with the order, but the train was stopped in fourteen seconds by the automatic brakes after the request had been made from the moving car The train was also Jagged at the station and stopped. The trustees were pleased with the test and it is said will con- sider the introduction of telephones at their next meeting.

FOUR ENGINES ATTACHED.
Traffic Somewhat Delayed on the B.
 & o. at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. A deputy sher- if hampered passenger traffic on the Baltimore 6 Ohio railway for a short time yesterday by attaching four of that company's big engines in the round house near Taylor street and the river.
 The trouble was caused by the Wis consin Central Railroad Co.,, which yesterday afternoon brought an as sumsit suit in the circuit court for s25,000 The claim includes a bill of S14,300 for labor and services and the rest is for track rent in the Grand Central station during the months of May and June last.
 It was nearly o'clock before Super intendent Van Smith released the en1 zines on a S40,000 bond, signed by Isaac G. Lombard, president of the National Bank of America and in the meantime the Walkerton accommoda- ton had been taken out by a freight engine. Superintendent Smith says no demand for the sum sued for had been made and he cannot account for the Wisconsin CentraFs action.

REoNLEss MEXICAN CABMEN.
An American Run Over in the Street
 Dies of His Injuries.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. Az. c. Hill, an American citizen, has died in the hospital Juarez from injuries received by being thrown from his bicycle and run over by a public vehicle.
 MT. Hill was returning to the city by the Avenida Juarez late one Sunday afternoon. The long file of carriages coming from the Paseo de la Reforma densely crowded the highway, and a public cab collided with the bicycle ridden by the American, throwing him to the ground. One wheel passed over his body. c
 The driver of the cab drove hastily away. His identity was unknown.
 This is only one of innumerable ac- cidents of the sort resulting from the reoklessness of the municipal cab drivers, most of whom are ignorant Indians. It is Well-known fact that they often Intentionally drive over foreigners in the streets, the favorite nationality for their assaults being Americans

HAVANA SOON WILL FALL Victorious Insurgents Are Advancing. PreparationS for the Decisive
 Battle.
DesertionS Among the Spanish TroopS-The End Near
 at Hand.

HAVANA, Jan. 4.-Unless all indica- tions are misleading, the end of the Cuban insurrection is at hand, and the result, it would seem, must be in favor of the insurgents, whose armies under Maximo Gomez, Antonio Maceo and Quintin are nearing this city from three different directions. This fact so frequently denied in official circles the past two weeks is now generally admitted, although all sorts of lame explanations of the triumphant ad- vance of the Cubans are put forth in the hope of calming the public excite ment. Step by step General Campos has been driven back before the ad- vance of the victorious army until here preparations are being completed on both sides for a final and decisive struggle.
 The district through which the in- surgents have just passed has been completely wiped out by fire.
 The utmost consternaltion prevails in government circles. The military authorities seem to have fallen into a complete state of helplessness. Gov ernment officials are blaming the diff ferent Spanish generals for the con- dition of affairs, utterly regardless of the fact that it was Campos' plan of campaign in the wild scattering of his forces all over the island which is mainly to blame for the crisis.
 Incapacity has been supplemented by sickness and treachery. The Span- ish soldiers. in spite of all denials have deserted in considerable numbers
 Stories are afoat here of a wholesale Republican propaganda at work among the soldiers from Spain, which it is claimed, will yet bear astonishing fruit.

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE,
It Is Now Distinctly Unfriendly to
 England.

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-(Copyright 1896 by the Associated Press.)-Invasion of the Transvaal by Dr. Jamieson and the forces of the British South, Africa company has brought up all the latent feeling of hostility to England and has evoked an outburst similar to that pro duced by President Cleveland's mes sage in America. The general belief that the duplicity of British states men is deliberate and in pursuance o!' their policy of keeping Europe divided into two camps in order to facilitate English aggressions and encroach- ments in Africa and elsewhere, has re- ceiVed confirmation in the news of Dr. Jamieson's venture.
 In spite of disavowal of the British secretary of state for the colonies, MT. Joseph Chamberlain, of any knowledge or responsibility for the step taken by Dr. Jamieson. little doubt is felt here that it was prompted in high quarters, and the free terms of the emperor's message are interpreted as indicating 3 that the same mistrust of English pro- testations is felt in government cir cles. Everybody understands that the emperor's message to President Krue- ger was not due to mere impulse, but was decided upon and drafted after a grave council of ministers and it must therefore be regarded as an open pro nunciamento of change in Ger many's policy toward Great Britain.
 It is asserted on good authority an intention to land German sailors a. Delagoa bay was only abandoned on receipt of news of Dr. Jamieson's s defeat.
 The consul of Portugal has been asked for the transit of troops across Portugal territory.
 Another statement, made on good authority, is that Germany has al- ready come to an agreement with France to arrest British advances in south Africa and that 1,500 German volunteers, we'll equipped, will start on board a North German Lloyd during the coming week for Delagoa bay to assist the Boers.

BOSTON, Jan. 4.-Rev Dr. Scott F.

Some such plan, Dr. Hershey thought, would be a great step in advanced civilization and Christianity.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT
Developing New Candidates and
 Features.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 4.-Mem- bers of the legislature have been arriv ing in the city all day and considera- ble activity is already noticed along the skirmish line of the sentorial con- test. During the past two weeks the senatorial fight seems to have expand ed rather than contracted It is now generally agreed that there are at least four and possibly five candidates in the field. all having certain elem en.s of strength.
 Some doubt is expressed as to whether the Republicans can reach an agreement in caucus. The Demo- cratic vote may be an important factor in the result They will no doubt cast their complimentary vote for Thatcher and Rawins, but after that it is pos sible they may take some action that will develop candidates not heretofore mentioned.
