THE NEWS CONFIRMED.

Move Was Made in Answer to an Ap-
peal From British Subjects.
LONDON, Jan. Ia special to The
Times from Cape Town says: Conse-
quent upon letter signed by the lead
ing inhabitants of johannesburg, which
was sent to DR.. Jameson at Mafeking
on Saturday. DR.. Jameson on Sunday
crossed the Transvaal frontier near Ma
feking with 700 men. It is known that
he passed Melmani at o'clock on Mon
day morning. No further direct news
has been received from Transvaal. The
latter from DR.. Jameson was dated Dec.
% and said:
Matters in this state have become
10 critical that We ore assured that at
no distant period there will be con.
hict between the government and the
Uitlander popu alton. The position of
thousands of Engishmen and of others
s. rapidly becoming intolerable."
The Move Scarcely Justifisb'e.
The Times. in an editorial, thinks
that the letter hardly justified DR..
Jameson's startling move. "But it
viii be necessary" The Times con-
tinues, ito wait for further news before
Judging his action. If he were satisfied
that nothing but immediate and de-
0lsive intervention on his part could
save great British community from
armed violence, his conduct win be ap-
proved here. It may have been tech
snically incorrect, but the feelings of
the nations will recognize that tech
nacalitles could not have been suffered
to stand in the way where the lives and
property Of thousands Of their fellow
citizens were at stake. Mr. Chamber
lsin's action indicates, however, that
no adequate justification exists for DR..
Jameson's
Apparent Breach OF the Law of Nations.
Il was known in official circles Tuesday
that in tho course Of the day Mr. Cham
berlain had wired to DR.. Jameson, Or
dering him to return without delay to
the compsny's territory. 1t cannot be
supposed that such step would have
been taken had the colonial office seen
reason to believe that the orderly Brit
fish subjects of johannesburg were in
Immediate danger.
1.-THE adopt on of this course mani
testify places serious responsibility
upon the shoulders Of the colonial Office.
II is believed that the Boer forces have
been modified under General Juebert
and that an explosion is possible at any

special session of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture to reapportion the state into senate
and assembly districts under the census

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The senate
held q two hours session during the
day, in the course of which speech by
Mr.. Mitchell on the restoration Of the
Mckinley duties on wool was listened
to, and q resolution was passed for the

naval affairs of the prices paid by the
government for ship armor. The reso-
luton contained q broad intimation
that officers of the government were
interested in armor plate processes, and
Senator Chandler, the author Of the
resolution, said that the facts that had
come to his knowledge warranted him
in assuming the responsibility for in
augurating the inquiry. The most i'm
portant feature Of the session, perhaps,
was resolution offered by Mr.. Sher-
man for the
Restoration Of the Gold Reserve,
which thereafter should be held sacred
for the redemption Of the greenbacks
and treasury notes, the former to be re-
issued only in exchange for gold coin
and bullion. Mr.. Sherman will address
the senate on his resolution on Friday.
Mr.. Elkins asked for the immediate
consideration of resolution apropos Of
the anticipated bond issue, declaring it
to be the sense Of the senate that no
bonds of the United States should be
sold at private sale or by private con-
tract, but should be disposed Of by ad-
vertising to the highest bidder. Mr..
Hill of New York objected. Mr.. Nell
son (Rep., MINI. made his first speech
in the senate advocating higher duties
for present financial troubles.
