Dom Paul to Joseph mbcrInin.

PRETORIA, South Africa, Feb. 3.-Pres-
ident Kruger was interviewed to-day on the
subject of the speech of Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies, in
the House of Commons, on Friday dur
ing which Mr.. Chamberlain said, among
other things, that there had been revival
of unrest in South Africa; that recent leg
islation of the Transvaal Republic was
partly contrary TO the convention of Lon
don. and that President Kruger had not
kept his promise 20 give full and favorable
consideration of the grievances of the uit-
landers. Mr.. Kruger Is quoted as saying:
Il strongly diSapprove of intermixing the
so-caled uitlander grievances with the
Chartered Company, ffeebooting invasion
of the Transvaal. Lhe latter admits OF no
whitewashing, and no local causes justified
such criminal raid. 1 have always used
and am still using all my influence TO di-
minish race hatred But recent utterances
the other side are adding fuel to the

LONDON. Feb. 4.-The Daily Mail an

Leo and the Manitoban Question.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Rome correspond

thority for announcing that the position OF
the Pope in the matter of the Manitoba
Catholic schools, and in the political ques-
tions in Canada growing out of their fu-
ture. is not that of arbter and counselor
The correspondent adds: Il believe that
the Canadian delegation which visited
Rome desired to persuade the head of the
Catholic Church and influence him for the
purpose of preventing the Catholic bishops
| from spelling the entire compromise by rea-
son of obduracy." In conclusion the cor
respondent announces that all rumors rela-
| tive to the establishment of an apostolic
| delegation In Canada are groundiess.

A Question of Education.

I was sitting on a keg of nails in 4
West Virginia mountain store watch
ing a native dickering with the mer-
chant over a trade of a basket of eggs
for a calico dress. After some time a
bargain was closed, the native walked
out with the dress in a bundle under his
arm, and l followed him.
1T isn't any business of mine" said,
"but I was watching that trade, and
was surprised to see you let the eggs
go for the dress
What fer?" he asked in astonish-
ment. as he mounted his horse
How many eggs did you have?"
Basket full"
How many dozen?"
Dunno. Can't count
That's where you miss the advanta-
ges of education. With knowledge you
might have got two dresses for those
eggs
But I don't want two dresses, mis-
ter he argued.
Perhaps not, but that was no reason
why you should have paid two prices
for one The merchant got the advant-
age of you because of his education. He
knew what he was about"
He looked at me for minute, as if he
felt real sorry for me. Then he grinned
and pulled his horse over close to me
u reckon" he half whispered, casting
furtive glances toward the store, his
education amt so much more'n mine ez
YOU think 1t is. He don't know how
many NV them aigs is spoiled, an 1 do,
and he rode away before l could argue
further.-Boston Herald.

THE APOLOGY WAS ACCEPTED.
Broncho Bill Squared Himself for
Calling Ugly Joe a Buffer.

One day when Broncho Bill had i'm
bibed a little too freely and remarked
to a crowd that Ugly Joe was buffer
and a coward of the worst sort, he was
almost Immediately sobered by the fear
that the man was sure to hear OF ms
remarks and would shoot him on sight,
and after thinking the matter over he
saw that his only chance was to hunt
him up and apologize for his thought

"Pard." he said, as he came across
Joe in front of the Prairie saloon
picking his teeth with his bowie knife,
what would happen to the man who
called you a coward and bluffer?"
Wall" replied Joe, smiling wickedly,
"it seems to me that yer queshun ar
mighty foouish. seein' as how ye ar
acquainted with my ways"
"O--ef course" went on Bill, winc-
ing a bit. "Yed shoot him on sight,
wouldn't ye?
q sartinly would. ye fule, and ye
know it,"
"B-but, pard,' persisted Bill. forcing
a smile on his anxious face, "s'posin'
the critter as said it war drunk at the
| time and didn't mean it-what them"
| THAT wouldn't make any diff"
| And say, Joe, old pard,' interrupted
| the other. ''s'posin' the man should
apologize to ye arter he'd sobered up?"

meints thought, that would depend a
! great deal on the sort o'apology he Of

from his pocket. And, as I'm the crit

the OLD FILM -FLAM RACKET.
TT WAS WORKED ON A. WALKE
YESTERDAY.
The Bunco Thief Was Followed
and Caught-Tried the Trick
on Others.

There is a pair of mfamers in
town, but one of them is in Jail.
F'lim-fiaming is the art of getting
away with the money of a person who
makes change for a customer, or does
another a favor by changing a gold
piece.
A Wake, proprietor of the Washing
ton Market at 1908 j street, is the only
known victim of the light fingered
gentry, but that there are others there
is good reason to believe.
Last evening a young man entered
Wakes place of business and had him
change SO piece. This transaction
was square, but shortly afterward an
other-evidently his pal-appeared and
bought 5 cents worth of grapes, tender
ing a SO gold piece. Wake handed
him a S. piece and $4 80 in silver.
Then the customer discovered that
| ne had a quarter-dollar piece and asked
| Wake to take his pay out of that and
return the SO. This Wake did. and
| the customer laid down the 81 80 in
silver on the counter and walked out.
/ Wake supposed that the whole 50 10
was there, but on looking it over dis
| covered that the $5 gold piece had dis
! appeared simultaneously with the Gus
| toner.
| He hastened to the street, but the
! fellow had vanished into and through
a neighboring woodward. Wake. as
sisted by Record Union" employe,
went in search of the film -famer and
soon got on his trail They followed
him down town and pointed him out
to Officer Bagley, who shadowed him.
The man went into N. Zemansky' S
store at Third and j streets and tried
the same trick on him. But he struck
the wrong man. Zemansky gave him
the desired change, but kept his hand
on IL till the deal was settled.
From there the bunco man went to
| Sam Ginsbergs store, and tried to ge;
two good half-dollars for leaden one
Ginsberg looked at the proffered dollar
and told him that kind of money wasn't
worth a nickel a bushel.
Then it was that Bagley swooped
down on the fellow and took him tc
the police station There he gave his
name as L. E. Reid, and said he was a
barber. He had about $50 in gold ir
his pockets, and so far as appearances
went he looked like a gentleman.
He is evidently a very smooth and
successful operator, and Officer Bag
ley said last night he had found sew
eral places where bogus money hac
been passed or rendered during the day
No charge has yet been entered
against Reid, but it is likely that sew
eral will be, and that the Federal ofti-
cials Will take charge of the prisoner

FEARS HIGHBlnDER BULLETS.
LEE HIM LOCKED IN JAIL TOR
SAFETY.
BE Is Witness Against the Fong
Duck Tong Slayers of
Hom All Cow.

From present indications the trouble
between the Chinese tongs, or gangs of
highbinders, is liable to break into act
i've fighting without moments warn
ing.
The Fong Duck Tongs are naturally
solicitous Of the eventual discharge Of
their brethren, Long Yin Toy and Chin
All Cow, now held for the murder of
HON All Cow, and while the Suey On
gang has so far succeeded in safely
guarding Lee Him, the principal wit
ness for the prosecution, the latter is
by no means sure Of his life.
Indeed, so precarious has Lee Hims
existence become-in his own mind, at
least-that he last evening told Captain
Of Police Fisher that he was ''muchee
scared. and requested to be given a
cell in the city prison for protection.
Lee Him's request was granted, and
last night, at least, he slept safe from
Fong Duck Tong bullets.
Lee Him, it will be remembered, is
a Fong Duck renegade. and in testify
ing against one of his clansmen he laid
himself open to the severest punish
ment known to highbinders.
Chin All Cow, one of the men held
TO answer to the charge of numbering
HON All Cow, has a rather unsavory
record. About nine months ago an old
rancher who reSided in Nevada Coun-
~. was robbed here by a Chinaman
who answered the description of Chin
All Cow. A warrant was sworn out
for Cows arrest, but he had disap-
peared and did not show up for six
months. When he finally did return
he was arrested on the robbery charge,
but as the Nevada County rancher
could not be found, the Chinaman was
"vagged" and driven out of town.
officer J. A Wilson, who returned on
Thursday from his vacation, immedi-
ately recognized Cow as the man ar
rested for the robbery
