are rapidly becoming taken, and many
of them are the homes Of families con-
tanning several children. The water
system now connects with the school
and little attention on the part OF di-

SOME ALLEGED NEWS CORRECTED.
Semi-Onicial Statement That Several For
cign stories Are Had Guc.,es.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 15.-It is semi
officially stated that there is no fourda-
tion whatever for the alleged St Peters
burg dispatch cabled to the United States
by u news agency and claiming to furnish
the substance of the cars answer to tn,
autograph letter from Emperor William.
II is not true that the car told Prince
Won Radolin, the German arnba ssador to
Russia, that he entirely concurrcd in the
views and aims of Emperor William, and
il is in every way incorrect that the car
added that the German emperor could
firmly rely on his support and the support
of the states friendly to Russia, namely
France and the United States
1t Is also untrue that the Russian min
lister for foreign affairs. Prince Lobanoff-
Rostovsky, who was alleged to have been
present at this interview between the car
and Prince Won Radolin, commended an
anti-English policy. The whole of the
alleged dispatch is classed in semi.ofiicial
circles here as being an invention upou
the part of the news agency.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. l5.-The CONNER.
cial Gazette prints an article by Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota. setting
forth the claims OF senator Cushman
kellogg Davis, of Minnesota, for the Re-
publican nomination for president. The
sketch is largely biographical, covering
his growth with the great northwest, his
war history and his long experience at tho
bar and his record in public life. His
ability as publicist is emphasized by an
appeal to the consideration shown him in
the senate in all matters pertaining to
foreign relations.
His speech on Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy is mentioned as an example of his
frank fcarlcssness. On the Monroe doc
trine he is pronounced thoroughly Ameri-
can. and his services for debilitated and
disabled survivors of the war are brought
into prominence. His thrilling reply to
tclegraphic requests during the railroad
riots Of 1894 to vote for the Kyle resolu-
ton Is given IN full as illustrating the
positive courage of the man.

The German government contends that
the suzcrainty of Queen Victoria over the
Transvaal became null and void when the
convention of 1884 was signed. They deny
absolutely that they have any intention
of proclaiming a protectorate over the

in the pending question is due to their

after Chambcrlan's prompt action, there
is no present menace to peace between the
two countries on this issue.
