GREAT TURMOIL.
Cape Colony Folks Suspect Kruger OF
Political Intrigue.
GERMANY THOROUGHLY AROUSED.

Energetic Action.
GERMANY THOROUGHLY AROUSED.

LONDON, Jan. "A dispatch from Cape
Town to The Times strongly supports the
letter from the British residents OF Jo-
hannesberg. appealing for assistance TO
DIR. Jameson. and adds:
1.-The adyices to fold their hands and
await the good pleasure OF the kind
Kruger. who is yearning to admit the
Uitlanders to the franchise, If only they
will refrain from demanding it, is joke
which the lapse of years has deprived OF
its SAVIOR. The demand for the franchise
Is right and just. and the danger increases
svery day it is withheld. In Cape Colony,
and. we believe, in the Orange Free State
also, sympathy is felt for the Uitlanders.
"The latter cannot now recede, and
their only danger is from themselves. We
can make allowances for few German
Jews. but that the Afrikanders and the
British colonists with their traditions of
freedom and cohesion. can betray the re-
form of the army by splitting the plalanx,
we cannot believe until forced TO do So
The article bitterly attacks Mining Mil
iionaire j. u. Robinson, whose organs in
the land support President Kruger, and
says: cat the supreme moment, when
the last chance Of peacefully obtaining
their just rights hangs IN the balance, and
when the split between capital and labor

Kruger to continue swapping his fingers

1t Is stated tha0 president Kruger has
telegraphed TO Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain pledging his government that the
Beers shall temporarily
Adopt q Passive Attitude
toward DIR. Jameson's force on Its arrival
outside of johannesburg. An important
feature Of this arrangement between Mr..
Chamberlain and President Kruger is that
all responsibility for hostility will rest
with the Chartered South African son-
pany.

AN oAiiNoUs OUTLOOK.
YAiiadelphia Street Railway Trouble Not
Yet Settled.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Q. The situation
pf affairs in the street railway trouble is
very grave. The employees are in execu-
tive session with their leaders and various
committees, and il is evident from the at
mosphere Of things that second strike
could be easily precipitated. The matter
under discussion is the result of n confer
ence held last night by subcommittee
of the employees aud General Manager
Beetem OF tho Union Traction company.
The men said they came as employees OF
the company, but did not deny their mem
bership In the Amalgamated Association
of Railway Workers, which has been the
stumbling block throughout.
An earnest discussion then followed on
the proposition made by the company last
Monday night, asking the men to agree
that all differences are adjusted IL the 200
imported motormen and conductors were
put at the foot OF the extra list, and the
old men given their former runs. Mr..
Beetem added that the company was
doing everything in its power to better
the condition of tho men, and was con-
sidering the question OF shorter hours
There was an apparent disposition on
the part OF the committee TO accept the
proposition Rs an amendment to the agree
ment by which they returned To work af-
ter tho recent strike. The members, how
ever, were not entirely authorized to do
20, and they went 10 Harmonic hall,
where a mass meeting OF tho workers is
in session, awaiting report to them of the
result Of the conference with the general
manager.
All other persons were excluded, but
from the indignant cries and angry ex-
pressions coming from the meeting room,
and word or two Of information given
by men passing in and out, 1t was appar-
ent that there was much dissatisfaction
with Beetem

DIR. G. 3. Jameson is a Scotchman Of

In Kimberly when the pioneer force set

Starved TO Death.

MAMARoNEcK, N. Y, Jan. 23.-The
autopsy held last night on the body OF
Miss Mary e. Hills, who was fonnd
dead in her home Tuesday evening, re.
vealed the fact that her death was
caused by starvation. The bruises
found on her body are accounted for
on the supposition that she fell down.
While Miss Hills was in the house
starving to death two letters containing
money sent to her by her brother in
New York were awaiting her in the
post Office. The house where she lived
alone had in it but few articles of fur.
niture, and the cupboard was not en-.
tirely destitute of provisions Unless
Miss Hills became helpless by some &C.
cident she must have deliberately de-
MED herself food. There was an abun-
dance of coal in the cellar.
