In the eyes of the British, therefore, EN-
peror William is overstepping the bounds
of courtesy in presuming to communicate
with the Government of the Transvaal at
all, except through the ministers of her
majesty's government. Williams declara-
ton that he will recognize no suzerainty
over the Transvaal, which the British
claim by virtue of treaty, is an added
insult that cannot be passed over without
a serious humiliation to the pride Of Great
Britain.
The situation is complicated. too, by the
unsettled condition of affairs in South AZ
RIGA, from whence trustworthy informa-
ton is exceedingly meager. Cecil Rhodes
has resigned the premiership of Cape Col
ony, but the reason for the action is not
yet apparent. Once before, when there
was an intimation of interference from
the home government with the action Of
the chartered company in conducting a
war of aggression against the Matabeles,
Rhodes, in threat, suggested the POSSIBLE
ity of a British South African republic in
dependent Of Great Britain. 1t is highly
improbable that Jamesos's raid into the
Transvaal was made without the knowl
edge and connivance of Rhodes. Posi-
bly, that uncrowned king of South Africa
hopes for an early realization of his
dreams of federation, and has resigned in
order that he may not be hampered by
official responsibilities.

Very Busx at Nicararun.

A more important issue than that over
the Venezuelan boundary may be raised
soon between the United States and Great
Britain If recent reports from Nicaragua
shall be confirmed by later developments.
The substance of these reports, sustained
by important evidence, is that British in
terests are reaching out for the control of
the Nicaraguan Canal, and that the Gov
eminent is being urged to annul the char
ter to the existing corporation. The re-
ports of British intrigue in Nicaragua
which have been sent to the State Depart
ment are likely to receive serious attention
before the transmission of the report of
the Nicaraguan commission to Congress,
and may give sensational turn to the ex
pected special message of the President
on the subject The United States, in case
of controversy, might be obliged to take
its stand upon broader grounds and to OBJ
ject to any such interference in Central
American affairs on the part of Great
Britain as it might consider proper on its
own behalf. If a British syndicate should
persuade the Nicaraguan officials to annul
their concessions to the American COM
pany and make new ones to n British
company a question would be presented
different from that presented in Vene-
zuela, according to President Cleveland's
definition of that question, in the particu-
lar that the United States might feel call
ed upon to interfere, without regard to the
attitude to the existing Government of
the country affected.

the note to President Kruger congratu-
lating him ON the defeat Of the English
invaders under the lead Of DR.. Jameson,
Is particularly offensive to British pride.
Popular feeling In both countries Is at an
excitable pitch. The feeling In Great
Britain, according to the London corre-
spondents, is much more intense and Bit
ter than It was ut any time while the vene-
zuelan question was Mt the front.
Great Britain boldly annexed the Trans
vaal to Cape Colony in 1877. at time
when the republic was in difficulty with
the native Africans. Although the an:
nexation was said to be in response to a
request from residents in the Transvaal,
the Beers soon rebelled against British
rule BY the treaty of 1884 the independ-
ence of the South African republic was
recognized in all matters relating to in
ternal affairs. But Great Britain retain
ed a suzerainty over the country, and II
was through her ministers that all for
eign negotiations of the republic were to
be conducted.

Times has fatuously stated in double
loaded leading article that the march
will remain n glorious tradition for the
Anglo-Saxon race" while the ST. James
Gazette says it relieves to certain eX-
tent the dark odium attaching to Majuba

But the principal cause of the excite
ment is a dispatch from Berlin that the
German emperor has declared, in no
ambiguous phrases, that he will 10 longer
recognize the treaty of 1884, thus express
ing an intent to dash aside the British
claim of suZerainty over the South Afri-
can republic.
Hardly had this news been published
when the Globe issued an extra edition
announcing under 'scare headlines" that
urgent and extreme activity prevailed in
the war office and in the naval dockyards.
and adding the following startling tidings
"A dispatch received from the military
camp at Aldershot says that the general
belief, almost backed by proof, prevails
there that the authorities are considering
the mobilizing of the army reserves and
part of the militia. The men employed in
the ordnance stores are all very busy"
This announcement simply intensified
the infamed condition of the popular
mind; and John Bull, as represented by
the average pot-valiant Londoner, shouted
in raucous tones his utter detestation and
defiance of the German ruler and his
army.

ened with pitch and covered with
rosemary, to look like bush In the
sight Of her customers. 1t was CON-
mon practice to put some sort OF ever

hence the proverb, "Good wine needs

in the "thcw," or female pilory, with
half OF the pot attached to 1t. AS far MS
possible, the cause Of the offense was
always exhibited with the person pun
ished. Severe punishmnt was meted
out for endeavorlng to raise the stan
dard market price of corn and other
articles. In 1347 a merchant was i'm
prisoned for forty days for enhancing
the price of his own property. He Sc

The battleship Oregon, being construct

the turrets have been shipped from the
Bethlehem works in the east for the Union
iron works, and according to the con-
tract the vessel is to be completed within
ninety days after the receipt OF the
plates. The armor for the sponsors and
barbettes has long been put in position,
and nearly all of the eight-inch and the
smaller guns have been mounted. The
four thirteen-inch guns that are to be
protected by the turrets cannot be mount
ed until the armor plates are in place.
One of the turrets was finished few days
ago, but the big weapons will not be plac-
ed In it until both turrets are ready; then
all that remains to be done to the big ship
is to complete that one turret, and it will
only require few days after the armor
plates arrive to do the work. The en-
gines and other machinery of the vessel
have been tested and found to be per-
feet, and the big battleship can now be
made ready for service in few days.
