GERMANS BITTER AGAINST rR1rIsn
Still fnmly Believe She Bact ed the

Still fnmly Believe She Bact ed the
Jameson E>p.dit'ou
Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press.)
Berlin, Jan. 11.-Throughout the week
the Transvaal question has monopo-
lized public attention. 1t is the unani-
NOUS feeling in Germany that the ia
meson raid was due to the connivance
upon the part of the British govern
ment in spite of official denials, and all
of Germany is intensely anti-English.
This feeling is finding vent in resolu-
tions passed by the colonial and other
associations in favor of 1ransvaal in
dependence, and the entire empire is eX-
pressing hostility towards England.
In the reichstag, however, the Trans
yaaf matter will not be ventilated in
consequence of a hint received from the
minister for foreign affairs, Baron Won
Bieberstein, that the government does
not want to show it's hand and that 1t
would be inconvenienced by discus
sion of the subject. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that Russia and France are
supporting Germany in the latter's eff
forts to preserve the independence of
the Transvaal.
Emperor william felt obliged to as
sure President Kruger of Germany S
sympathy and, if necessary, support,
and he deemed himself bound to take
this step by the verbal appeal of Presi-
dent Kruger during the latter's stay in
Berlin to the emperor's grandfather.
William l., and to Prince Bismarck, in
1894, for help in the hour of trouble, to
which appeal William made promise to
support.
The attacks made upon the emperor
by the London press are regarded here
as being typical of British insolence
and the claims of suzerainty rights up
on the part Of Great Britain is answered
by quoting the wording of the conven-
ton of 1884 in which the British crown
expressly waived all rights. save on one
point. This is also the view taken OF
the situation by the German govern
ment, and minute and frequent instruc-
tions have been sent to the German am
bassador at London, Count Won Hatz
feldt- Wilbenburg, to act in strict ac
cordance with it.

Detroit. Jan. ia representative
gathering of men and women of Detroit
this afternoon took action expressive
of the keenest sympathy with the Ar
menian sufferers, and also by a gift of
over $780, made a substantial beginning
in rendering financial aid to that op-
pressed people.
The meeting also adopted memorials
to the United States government and
to the queen Of Great Britain urging
action which shall forever end the
atrocities perpetrated by the Turks
against Christians.
A letter was received from Chauncey
M. Depew in which he urged greater in
terest in the Armenian question, as
compared with boundary disputes and
the like.
Don M. Dickinson sent regrets that
absence from the state prevented his
attendance.
Stirring addresses were made by Bish-
op Ninde of the Nj. e. church, several
local pastors and Horant NJ. Kirctch-
jan, general secretary of the Armenian

of the superior court before the Young

Judge Shaw said: whatever belief

but they have, by systematic and wise
training, brought themselves into con-
dition which will render either. or BOTH
practically invlunerable to injury In q
contest such as the one in which they in
tend to participate. AS the physician Of
the National Athletic club first visited
Mr.. Fitzsimmons at his training quar-
ters at Sausalito. When I arrived there
he had just returned from long run be-
hind a cart from Mill valley. Under
these circumstances he should have been
overheatad and his heart would have or
dinarily shown an excited condition.
But to my surprise found him In per-
fectly normal condition. His pulse was
only so. and his entire system was almost
as tranquil as if he had just got out Of
bed. This convinces me that the mans
wind is perfect. I examined his heart
and lungs and found them normal. His
chest expansion was above the average.

muscles are particularly striking

dition to stand great battle"
The men meet tonight before the Ma
tional Athletic club in San Francisco for
SIC, 900. Both are confident. Sailor Shar-
key says he is going to win. "If don't"
he said, ,>"I will quit fighting for keeps"
Fitzsimmons said: I've had cold for
a week. and believe I'll take it into the
ring with me. 1t makes me ache in every
bone and haven't a bit of life in me. I
lust crouch like an old man when I'm
running, and II was right I would be
stepping along like 2-year-old. But 1t

The big Cornishman also complains of
a sore hand. The betting is and to ]
on Fitzsimmons and many bets have
been made that the Cornishman will
knock out the sailor in four rounds.
The result will be announced at The
Herald's business office on Third street

ately after the fight tonight.
