we'd, because he was too poor TO support
her, says the Cornhill Magazine. Shots
were exchanged without results and the
combatants embraced The famous
journalist and littcratcur, NJ Emile de
Girardin, editor of La Presse, fought
four duels in 1884 with the editors Of
other Partisan journals because, the
annual subscription of French daily
newspapers being at that time so francs,
he had reduced the price of La Presse
by oue-half, with the result that the
circulation of his paper was enormously
increased. In the last of these duels he
had the misfortune TO kill Armand Car
rel, man of talent and popular idol.
Girardin, who was shot i'm the hip, had
fingered between life and death for
weeks before he recovered from his
wound, and never, in spite OF repeated
provocations, could he be induced 10

DOM PAUL GIVES IN.
The Transvaal Raad Amends I'm
migration Laws
TO PLEASE THE NEICHBORINC STATES
1t Was What Secretary Chamberlaln de-
manded, but the Beers Insist II Was
Not Done to Placate Britons-Kru-
gers State Attorney Resigns.

Pretoria, May THE volksraad has
Held a protracted secret session to dis
cuss the answer to be made to the
Of Mr.. Chamberlain. British
secretary OF state for the colonies.
which demanded a repeal Of the Trans
vaal immigration law.
The vollksraad repealed the law. not
because IT was breach Of the London
convention, but because it was distaste-
full TO neighboring states.
Mr.. Coster, the Transvaal state att
torney. has rendered his resignation in
dkapproval of the appeal.
The position taken by Mr.. Chamber
lain on the subject of the Transvaal
allen immigrants law, No 80, Of 1886,
was stated In his dispatch to Lord Ros-
mead. the British high commissioner at
the Cape, under date of Dec. IS, 1896.
He said to Lord Rosmead:
Inform the government of tha South
Africa Republic that her majestys
government cannot, in view OF article
IA Of the London convention. admit that
the government of the South Africa
Republic has right Of expelling or re-
stricting foreigners who are not shown
to have failed to conform to the laws
of the republic, and that her majesty's
government reserves the right Of OBJ
lection to proceedings under the act,
which may amount to a breach of the
London convention.
Inform the government of the South
Africa Republic that her majestys
government is advised that the alien
immigrants law infringes article IA Of
OF the London convention. inasnluch by
it new and burdensome conditions, In
most cases probably impossible to full
MI, are imposed on persons who under
the convention are at full liberty to
enter and reside in the South Africa
Republic on condition Of conforming to
its laws.
You win state that her majesty's
government appreciates the reported
assurances of President Kruger that
the government of the South Africa
Republic has no intention of departing
from the terms Of the London c0nven-
ton and therefore feels confident that
it viii not attempt to enforce the law"
In letter to Lord Rosmead, ex-
planning the reasons for the dispatch.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the British gov
ernment could not accept the alien Inn
migrants law as an ordinary police
law within the terms of article IA of
that all persons other than natives con-
forming themselves to the laws OF the
South Africa Republic shall have full
liberty to enter, travel or reside in any
part Of the republic. The alien immi-
grants law provided that such persons
should not be at liberty to enter or re-
side in the republic unless they could
show afirmatively that they had the
means or ability to support themselves
Mr.. Chamberlain argued that as the
only coalition imposed by the conven
tion IS that they should conform to tn,
laws of the republic the new law woulC
be ultra wires and moreover would i'm
pose a further condition Of a burden
some nature which it might be diff
cult for many Of the poorer thougl
perfectly respectable immigrants Z,

THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Arc Not All Innocent ncR
Who Go 20 Siberia.


There is popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find us the traditional
peedle i'm the bunch of hay Facts. how
ever, says Tit-Bts. do not suhstantiatc
this theory any more than they do the
large majority of popular impressions.
A great sensation was created two
or three years ago by the finding Of
seven Russian exiles or prisoners who
had made their escape from Siberia.
They were in an open boat in the Pa
ci1c and were taken to San Francisco,
where they became the objects o popu-
lar commiseration, as we'll as the test
for the denouncing of the Russian
methods of dealing with political Of
tenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work TO do. 1t now appears that.
during the interval Of time that has
elapsed between their arrival in San
Francisco and now. they have every one
been punished by the law of the land.
The last of the party has just been
sentenced to 90 years imprisonment
for burglary. whihe one of his COM
rades only short time back was
hanged for two murders which he had
committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent TO Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him a corresponding
period of exile from the haunts Of his
fellow men, If not absolute deportation
from the country, in any other part OF
the world.

All the Land They Once Owned Now

All the Land They once Owned Now
in Possession of the SaxOns.
Historians are constantly reminding
people that there is scarcely a foot of
son owned in England now by the de-
scendants of the Norman conquerors,
all the property having gradually come
again into the possession of the SaXons,
who originally owned It. One of the
rare exceptions TO this state Of things is
Trafford Park, which until n year ago
remained in the possession of the same
family which has held it for over 800
years, the Traffords of Trafford. Ran
dolph, lord of Trafford, who lived in the
reigns Of Canute and Edward the Con-
fessor. dying about 1850, was the head
Of this ancient house, which for 500
years has employed an unbrolSen line
Of male Successors, and whose land has
not suffered alienation during all the
changes Of this time. The old place is
one of the most romantic and pic
turesque spots in all England, and, ly-
ing as it does just without the city Of
Manchester, il is greatly admired by
visitors. There are nearly 1000 acres
in the estate. The hall will shortly be
turned into q hotel and the grounds
converted into parks, golf links, race
courses, etc. A considerable portion OF
the fine old land will be devoted 10 ship

back her crew expects that the Ameri-

coral reef, close to the equator that no
man or nation has claimed. New Bal
dayo Is the name given TO the island,
but so far the most accurate location
that can be given for it is that IL is in
the North Pacific ocean. The island is
said to be covered with an enormous
and wonderful deposit Of guano, and
for nearly 80 years numerous vessels
have started out in search of it, but
they have always returned without be-
ing able to give its location.
1t was first reported as being In ex-
istence by Lord Clipperton, an eccen-
trio English navigator, naturalist and
discoverer. and the man who gave his
name to Clpperton island He said In
his report Of his cruises that the island
lay approximately In north latitude IS
and west longitude 81. but is described
as low. and navigators say a vessel
could sail within dozen miles Of it
and pass by without seeing It.
