THE DEAL is OFF.

South African Magnates Could Not
Raise the Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The pro-
jected sale of the Los Angeles street car
lines to a syndicate of South African
mine operators has fallen through. The
proposition to purchase came from them
through Henry A. Buffers, to the bond
holders committee in August last. 1t
was favorably considered, and for a
time it looked as If the deal would 60
through. The first obstacle came in the
tying up of all capital during the presi-
Dental campaign. In consequence, an
extension of time was given from No
vember 1st, upon which date, under the
original agreement, the payment OF
100000 as forfeit was to be made. This
furnished additional time in which to
conduct negotiations.
At least two attempts were made to
come to an understanding. Both, how
ever, failed, and few days ago Buffers
informer Lowell White, chairman Of
the bondholders' committee, that the op-
tion would have to be declined. 1t was
intimated as reason that the pros
pective outlay, in addition to the sum
needed for purchase, was greater than
his associates were willing to undertake.
The Pacific rolling mills. Peoples
Home Savings bank, Bank of California,
San Francisco Savings union and other
owners of the 1900 pooled bonds of the
Los Angeles railway, will now have to
look elsewhere for customers for their
property. 1t is understood that propo-
stions have been already made. but that
as yet none Of them can be regarded as
a bona fide offer. 'N

VICTORIA. B. G., Dec 1.-No business

such inquiry can be entered upon, they

DURAND IN DANGER.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Dec. IA
special to the Wisconsin from Durand,
Wis, says: The ice gorge which began
at West Newton, on the Mississippi, and
valley Friday, has reached Round Hill,
three miles below this city. The near
ness of the gorge has forced the water
at this point higher than at any time
during the flood, although the water is
slightly falling. The eighteen miles of
Chippewa below Round Hill is one field
of packed ice and the bottom lands, over
which the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul tracks run, is completely sub
merged.
At Round Hill the river is flanked by
bluffs which makes the gorge there
dangerous to this city. All through the
bottoms of the west side the river is a
mile wide, and causes the water to rise
slowly. AS far as known no lives have
been lost, but those living on the Chip
pew.a bottoms have been rescued with
difficulty. Several families on the
Buffalo county side were driven from
their homes at o'clock Sunday morn
ing by the forming of a gorge at Plum
island. Scantily dressed, they waded
through the water and ice to high point
on the railroad, from which they were
rescued by relief train from this place.
Several of the party were badly frozen.
Others have escaped on the ice pack
after it formed around their homes.
Stock of all kinds has perished and
buildings have been greatly damaged.
although the growing timber has pro-
tected them largely from the grinding
ice. Durand has not had a mail service

SUGAR TRUST CASES.
Recalcitrant Witnesses Escape Prose-
cution for Time.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-District At
torney Birney has decided not to press
for the time being the cases against
Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles of the
sugar trust. Mr.. John w. MacCartney,
a stock broker Of this city. and Messrs.
J. S. Shriver and E. ]. Edwards, cores
pondents respectively for the New York
Mail and Express and the Philadelphia
Press, for refusal TO answer inquiries
put to them by the senate sugar trust
investigating committee. This course
will be taken for the reason that the
Chapman case, decided yesterday by the
United States supreme court on tech
nical question of practice, is regarded as
test suit. and Mr. Birney will await
the outcome of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, which, it is understood, Mr.
Chapman will take for the purpose of
tetsing the constitutional rights of wit
nesses.
Mr. Chapman, it is stated, will reach
Washington the latter part of this week,
and will surrender himself into custody
of the proper officials as the first step
necessary toward moving for writ of
habeas corpus. -
