COCHRAN TO WE'D.
He Is Said to Have Won the Heart and
Hand of Lady Churchill.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The announcement
that William Waldorf Astor is about to
lead to the altar Lady Randolph Churchill
has brought out a secret that has been
most carefully guarded. Mr.. Astor, much
as he might desire that honor, is not the
gentleman who has captured the heart and
hand of one of the finest ladies in Great
Britain. Another has had that honor, and
the announcement of his name will cause
the greatest surprise. He is none other
than Tammany's former great orator, Mr..
w. Bourke Cochran. Only by those bear
ing the very closest relations has il been
known that there exists anything beyond
a slight acquaintance between Lady Church.
ill and the star orator of New York. MIR.
Cochran has closely and ardently pressed
his suit however, anu -ow those who are
in a position to know state that he is soon
to see his wooing end, 80 Lady Churchill
has consigned to his keeping her heart,
and will soon follow IL with her hand.
Mr.. Cochran has been a widower a few
years. and Lady Churchill a widow about
the same length of time. Both are extreme
ly wealthy: 1t is understood that they first
met in Washington, while Mr.. Cochran
was in Congress, and that she had her
attention called to the brilliant man by
one of his mastery oratorics.. efforts. Ii is
now believed that all that has occurred
within the past couple of years-Cockran's s
refusal to again stand for Congress. his
absolute withdrawal from politics and his
one object in view. This object was TO
give himself up to loves conquest, with
Lady Churchil's heart as the one to be
conquered. Even while Dame Rumor is
coupling that ladys name with that of
Mr.. Astor, the really successful suitor is
not far away from her side in old Eng
land. and that voice which has swayed
thousands Is now pleading in most tender

GERMANS WILL PARTICIPATE.
Part of the Loan to n Floated I'm Ber-
lin-Mr. Burns's Comments.

LONDON. Dec. 81. = A dispatch from
Berlin says: THE Wolff News Agency,
which has the closest relations with
the German government. issued the follow
ing notice to-day: 1.-The details of the new
United States loan are not yet definitely de-
termired on. The conditions. however, are
expected 10 differ but slightly from those
under which the last issue was effected
The loan will amount TO about 500, OOO.OOO
of which a portion will probably be taken
by Germany, all the American banks and
trust companies taking part in the opera
tion."
The American bankers of London have
received private advices from Berlin which
confirm the announcement made by the
Wolff News Agency. The manager of
Brown, Shipley & Co.. being questioned on
the subject. said that nothing was yet de-
termined as TO where the new issue of bonds
would be placed. He added: "Of course,
they viii be taken by the American banks
and trust companies, and their London cor
respondents viii no doubt absorb portion
of them. The rate VIII probably be 100 in
New \ ork and los in London. We were ad-
vised this morning that there will be no
trouble in placing them in Germany"
Mr.. Burns, of Thomas Morgan * Co.. said
to a reporter: None of the new issue OF
bonds will be fioated in London. owing 10
the strained relations between the United
States and Great Britain. The situation
looks graver than ever this morning from
a commercial point of view. This is partly
on account of Senator ShermanS position.
The affair has made wonderful difference
in the business between London and New
York. and will result in the withdrawal OF
most Of the American securities from Eng
land. We are sending home daily large
quantities of these securities which were
thrust on the market Some of the new
bonds will probably be placed in Germany,
but that il not yet decided. In my opinion
our American compatriots have gone mad
The Daily News's financial article says:

Bank Of England as to prices of eagles for

the Transvaal to fall into anarchy"
TO BE RECALLED.
A special article in the Times says: mo
statement has yet been issued by the gov
ernment, but it is understood that Presi-
dent Kruger has informed High Commits
sioner Robinson at Capetown that a rumor
had reached him of the invasion of the
Transvaal and asking him whether the
steps had been taken with Sir Hercules
Robinson's permission. Governor Robinson
replied that he had heard a similar rumor,
but that he had no knowledge of the case,
and if 1t was true tfat DR.. Jameson must
have acted on his own responsibility. He
had, however. dispatched messengers TO the
frontier to recall any force that might have
been moved"
The Times understands that Dr. Jane
sons force is well provsioned for four days
march and supposes that the wires have
been cut so that it is impossible for tele-
grams to reach him. 1t will probably take
him four days to reach johannesburg and
the opposing forces. 1t is estimated that
the Boer force, well armed. consists of
eight hundred to one thousand men, with
burghers armed with their own rifles and
self-supporting There are rumors, how
ever, of much disaffection among them.
''Dr. Jameson's force" the Times says,
would be supported by a relatively un-
trained body of four thousand Uitlanders.
He might also get the assistance of a
fully-equlpped and armed volunteer force
of one thousand. belonging to the De Beers
company at Kimberley. 1t is believed that
General Joubert has marched with a Boer
detachment to oppose DIR. Jameson. If, as
IS persuEable, johannesburg has risen in
arms for the defense Of the town. IL is pos
sible that body of Uitlanders may have
been dispatched to meet and cooperate with
DIR. Jameson's force, and 1t is also probable
| that the point of junction would be some
where in the high, open veldt between Pre-
| toria and johannesburg"
The Chronicle says: "If true, DR.. Jane
| sons action indicates a degree of political
reckessness which viii go far to strip the
| organizer of the victory over Lobengula OF
| the laurels he won in MGtabeleland Our
hands must not be forced by mere land
| piracy, which may bring on us without any
fault of the imperial government all the
troubles and dangers of another Boer war"

ATLANTA SHOW OVER
CURTAIN LET DOWN AFTER AN IL
ELIMINATION OF THE GROUNDS.
And the Lights Put Out as the Year

the Finance committee.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 3i-The final day
of the exposition opened clear and bright
During the early morning the temperature
was very low, but after the sun rose the
weather moderated rapidly and the
grounds were thronged. Many of the ex-
hibitors had large harvest in the sale of
souvenirs, while the Chinese village auc-
toned off its bric-a-brac. The exhibits
were all in good shape, and were not dis
turbed until after dark. This evening the
beautiful illumination was given, and the
electric fountain displayed its charms for
the multitude.
The directors held a meeting at o'clock
and transacted business of Importance,
mainly directed toward fire and police pro-
lection for the grounds and buildings. To-
night force of experts began packing up
the pictures in the art gallery, and a SIM
liar work was begun on the government
exhibit and the mines and forestry build
ing. BY resolution of the board of direc-
tors all salaries and wages cease tonight,
but the president is empowered TO make
new contracts for such limitedShelp as may
be necessary to wind up the affairs of the
company.
The Pennsylvania building will be for
mally turned over to the Piedmont Driving
Club by Commissioner keenan, very soon.
The New York State building will also pass
into the hands OF the club. Both of these
structures were erected on the grounds of
the driving club. The Illinois building has
not been disposed of, but will probably be
sold. The Massachusetts building has al
ready been presented by the commissioners
10 the Atlanta chapter of the Daughters
OF the American Revolution.
Mr.. Inman, chairman of the finance
committee said the exposition, when all
debts are paid, will have cost the city of
Atlanta about 100000. or less than 10 per
cent. of the money expended or the enter
prise. This includes the original stock sub
scrption and the appropriation made by
the city, This result is regarded as very
satisfactory. 1t Is estimated that the i'm
mediate benefit in money expended here
by exposition visitors amounts TO 5000, 0o0,
and that the ultimate benefits to the city
and the cotton. States are immeasurably
beyond this or any other conservative fig
ure that could be approximately stated.

Of perforafed pipes Water can be turned
through these pipes instantly, and the wa
ter runs out upon the roof, completely en-
veloping the building. thus shutting out
all possibility of its catching fire from any
outside source. An ordinary fire, with this
mode of protection, cannot get hot enough
to melt the pipe or to interfere with the
flow of the solid sheet of water. Should a
fire start on the inside Of building it
would not be able to spread. At Port Tam
pa water Is turned on the roofs of the
buildings every day The constant pres
ence of the many locomotives make dan
ger of fire from sparks very great, so the
roofs are kept constantly damp with this
