Since 1860, when the two-thirds rule
question caused such conflict, there has
been no struggle OF note over it. In the
conventions OF 1864 and 1868 the rule was
adopted without question. and in the sue
ceeding conventions the friends Of the
leading candidates saw no reason TO night
for a change. In 1872 there was one bal

Chicago university by the decision OF
the faculty in barring E. V. Debs in
speaking before the students some time
during the next quarter. At meeting
Of the local oratorical association it was
agreed to invite the labor leader. When
the members of the faculty were ap-
prised of the intended invitation, they
Immediately sent for the representa-
tives Of the association and firmly de-
manded that no such invitation should
be issued. They declared that Mr..
Debs belonged to a dangerous element,
and his appearance at the university OF
Chicago, with the sanction OF the fac
ulty would endanger the standing OF
the institution among the orthodox.

Natives Along the Transvaal Border
Preparing to Fight.
CAPE Town, April l6.-News has
been received here that the natives
are preparing TO rise along the Trans.
vaal border A rising IN Northern
Transvaal itself is also reported to be
imminent There is something OF q
panic manifest among the Eurghers
who have appealed for arms with which
to protect themselves. The threatened
spread of the disturbance along the
Transvaal border makes the situation
at Buluwayo and in Matabele much
more serious. The author ties have
felt Il, Buluwayo was reasonably
safe 4
ply ,hould Hold Out,
but til + has been that the Mata-
beles stop the wagon roads
through me Matoppo hills and to the
south. and TINS prevent supplies from
getting through to Mafeking.
1t is believed that the white settlers
scattered through Matabeleland are in
places of safety by this time in Bulu'
wayo or Gweio, and the missionaries dc
not feel that they run any risk from
the natives to whom they are known
though there might b danger from
strange wandering bands.
