BACK FROM TRANSVAAL.
An American Comes Home and Says Uit-

landsrs Are in the Right.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-E. F. Wilson
of California is registered at the Waldorf
hotel.
He was assistant engineer of the fam
GUS May Consolidated and other mines in
Africa, of which John Hays Hammond,
now under arrest, was the chief Mr..
Wilson is thoroughly posted in Transvaal
affairs, having lived several years in and
around johannesburg and his sympathies
are all with the Uitlanders.
ST presume" said Mr.. Wilson last
night, SHAT what you more particularly
want to know is about the Transvaal.
We'll, the Americans are not humorous
but they are Influential and may add,
popular with the Beers, while the Eng
lisb, naturally enough, are hated. And
here l may remark that, though many of
the raiders might have entertained an
nexation ideas when they followed Jane
SOD, the American element did not, and l
think l know that the movement was one
in the direction of reform
II left the country before the raid, but
I, as every one else knew that trouble of
some kind was brewing, for the reason
that the state of things was growing more
and more intolerable to the Uitlanders
or foreigners
'As for my friend, John Hays Ham
mond, he is American, heart and soul,

with movement looking to the over
throw of even an oiigarchical re-
public. He is of the same
caliber as DR.. Jameson, and the men
generally who are making out of the
sterile Transvaal one of the richest and
most prosperous regions on the earth's
surface, with a splendid future.
81 could speak more especially of mat
ters in the Transvaal from inside knowl-
edge, possess but prudence compels
me TO silence. The concessions lately
granted by the Boer government TO the
three companies go to show were they
inquired into. that this innocent admin
istration of Paul Kruger has an eye to
the main chance, and is not lacking in
sordidness.
"In conclusion I may say that the
American influence in South Africa
is one of benefcence. It takes in
the most influential and progress
sve of the population, and has
in an engineering sense control
of tho Rand mines, which mines are the
richest in the whole world. Why, they
are not half developed nor will they be
until the TransvaaI has a more liberal
government"

Judge Hazen this morning offered to
give Joe kellam, in the county jail under
indictment by the grand jury, trial on
February 81. The Judge refused to
allow the damage suit of Kellam against
Chief Wilkersou to be tried this term as
the issues were not made up in time. but
said if Kellam were ready for trial on the
charge of petit larceny he would allow
him TO have trial on the date assigned for
the damage suit.
The district judge said he would give
a speedy trial to any of those under in
dictment who had to remain in Jail.
Acting on this suggestion Thomas Fl.
Balm asked trial for A. W. Vaniman,
indicted for receiving stolen bodies, but
as he is not in Jail Judge Hazen said he
would not promise a trial this term.

Thomas. or Red Irwin, colored, was
this noon released from the county Jail
after serving fifty-seven days. If Irwin
had been released two days sooner, he
might have stood as an example of how
easy it is for an innocent man to be sent
to the penitentiary.
After the capture of the bur-
glars who were raiding the Model
supply store Saturday night police
officers called at the county
Jail to see if "Red" Irwin had been turned
loose. The two negroes captured had
said that Irwin was with them. For
tunately for the boy he had not been out,
or the confession of the burglars would
undoubtedly have gone hard against
him.
Harvey Enox, Twins companion in

The esteemed Register lakes too ssrt-
ously the 1nteIllgencer's inquiry regard
ing the limit OF the fiat on the silver dol
lar. The Inquiry had TO do with the
Democratic Platforms demand for the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at
the ratio OF 16 to |, and to the well known
argument Of the men opposed to that
proposition that the value OF the dollar
cannot be created by legislation.
The market ratio between the two
metals Is IN the neiGhborhood OF 81 TO !,
and the inquiry arises. II the fiat OF the
government can make It l6 to /. why
can II not make Il 10 to /, or to l, or any
otherJratio? Why the useless waate of
silver II law can make 1t at lower ratio
Just as well?
The position OF the silver men Is that
the government has limited the value
and uses OF silver by limiting Its coinage.
I and their argument Is that to open the
minis 10 the free and unlimited coinage

value TO the point Of nabIirE the gov
