Repeal q the Transvaal Immixr.t.pn
Law Considered Important. Nc
LoNDoN, May 10. Great Importance
ID attached to the decision Of the Trans.
vaal volksraad at q secret session held
at Pretoria on Wednesday last, to re.
peal the Transvaal immigration law.
The meeting was held to discuss the
answer to be made to the dispatches of
the British secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain who
demanded a repeal Of the law. The
law is repealed, but it is explained this
step was taken, not because the meas
ure wds breach Of the London con-
vention, but because it was distasteful
to neighborlng states The Transvaal
state attorney rendered his resignation
in disapproval of the repeal. This
action Of the Transvaal government, it
is said here, clearly indicates. asback-
down upon the part of President
Kruger and the volksraad, and renders
the chances of war remote. It is the
most important concession yet made BY
the Transveal, and removes the chief
cause Of friction, not only between the
Transvaal and Great Britain, but be-.
tween Cape Colony and the Transvaal.
1t was on this point that Mr.. Cham
berlain's dispatch took almost the
form OF an ultimatum. .~~~.. Es,~. o.

MILWAUKEE. May 8.-What may

murder was committed on thet farm of
Alexander Harris of the town of Wan.
kesha. The victims were Mr.. Harris,
who was killed outright; Mrs. Harris,
who was seriously hurt, but may re:

man, and Helen Desbach, a servant
girl, both fatally wounded. The
bloody work was done by William

The supposition Of the authorities is
that the man is either insane or that
he committed the terrible deed In order
to hide evidence of another crime.
The manner in which the murders
were committed showed plainly that
he had been deliberate in arranging
his plans, and had carried them out to
the letter. - w.. IT.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Bell
Telephone company won the case
brought against it by the United States
to annul the last Berliner patent. This
! decision has the effect Of continuing
the control of the telephone by the Bell
company for II years, from date Of the
last patent, which was granted in 1892.
(, The government asked to have the
patent Of 1891 set aside on the ground
that the delay of 1S years in the patent
Office was fraudulent and through the
fault of the telephone company and
that the patent issued in 1880, covered
the same ground on .which the new
patent was applied for in 1891. The
court, in it's opinion delivered by Jus.
tice Brewer. held that there was no
evidence Of corruption or undue in.
fluence exercised over the patent Office
by the telephone company, and that
there was no evidence that the delay
in granting the patent had been
brought about by the company. It
held that whatever delay there had
been was through the fault of the
patent Office, and by no fault of the
company.
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion. Justices Gray and Brown, it
was announced, took no part in the
case, presumably because they were
interested. y.

Rheumatism is no respecter of per
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to its attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed- at first, so insidi-
ously. do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
increase, until they develop greater
Inconvenience day by day. yC-ssff.Ss ,
The knees, ankles, and other joints
of the body ache constantly, swell

size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
It is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the applica-
ton of ininents and other external
remedies. The medical profession ad-
NIT that the disease is in the blood,
