TRANSVAAL TROUBLES
The British Government Doesn't Want
Information

LONDON, July 26.-The house of COM
mons was crowded this afternoon in ex-
pectation of a spirited debate upon the
report of the select South African COM
mittees appointed to investigate the
raids in the Transvaal. The peers and
the ladies' galleries were crowded with
well known women, who displayed the
liveliest interest in the proceedings. At
ter a number of questions, the Hon.
Philip James Stanhope, Radical, moved,
amid loud Radical cheers, a resolution
that the house regretted the inconclu-
sive character of the report of the COM
mittee, more particularly it's failure to
recommend that specific steps be taken
in regard to the admitted completely of
Cecil Rhodes, and asking that Mr.
Hawksley, the attorney of Rhodes, be or
dered to attend at the bar of the house
and to produce the kilograms which he
refused to show the committee. Mr..
Stanhope, who has been described as a
revolutionary aristocrat without being
Mirabeau," supported his resolution in
a vigorous speech. A vote was then
taken and Mr.. Stanhope's motion was
lost.
Mr. Chamberlain announced that the
charter Of the company would not be re-
voked, but that means would be taken
to strengthen the directorate soon, so as
to secure more direct imperial control of
Rhodesia. He was preparing a scheme
which he expected would be put in tenn
porary shape before parliament met
again

OIL FOR FUEL
It May Be Largely Utilized on BOARD
Shin

ANDERSON, Ind, July 26.-Judge w
A. Chapman has gone to Washington to
file patent applications and interest prop
err Government officials in inventions by
Frank M. Reed of this city, which have
been completely tested practically and
found to be capable of revolutionizing
the handling of war vessels at sea.
TIL inventions carry out to perfection
the idea originated by Russia in using
oil instead of coal as fuel for war yes
sells. Reeds invention covers a system
of oil burning which would make it pcs
sible for a vessel like the Indiana to
carry enough fuel to last trip around
the world. The system is gas generation
from oil. The gas is generated by an
atomizing plant, is smokeless and is cap
able of tenth more heat than the
Russians get, or 33 per cent more heat
that the Government is now getting from
COAL making it possible to work up to
greater speed. Where thirty stokers
are now necessary on war vessel, one
man could handle all the valves.
Another invention covers a storage
tank that is absolutely bullet and she'll
proof. The cost of the equipment is very
small and would be paid for in a month
or so in the saving of fuel.

With a Pistol Ball Through
Her Heart
THE CASH BOOK DESTROYED
BUT THE KEEPER is THOUGHT
TO BE INNOCENT
Boston Police Are Exercised in the
Solution Of an Unusually Deep
Murder Mystery
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
BOSTON, July 2e-Ie seems asif every
hour brought forth new developments
concerning the death of Alice Barrett,
of Waltham, last Saturday afternoon.
She was found dead in the office of Cod
man & Goldman, in which she had been
employed as bookkeeper. The building
had been set on fire by lightning. and it
was at first supposed that the bolt had
killed her. but afterwards it was ddscov-
cred that she had been shot through the
heart A revolver was found on the
floor. Her family are almost positive
that the girl was murdered. 1t was
ascertained today that the cash book
which Miss Barrett kept for two years
and in which she had entered all the
cash transactions, had been burned The
police, who have been at work since the
case assumed, such a serious phase, are
almost satisfied that Miss Barrett burned
the books before her death. With the
disappearance of the cash book the firm
finds itself ina most peculiar position.
William c. Goldman admitted to the po-
lice tnat II was d sur prise W learn Una
his confidential clerk and bookkeeper
had Destroyed the cash book. He also
admitted that the destruction of the cash
book would hide any irregularities that
may have exisetd SO effectually that 1t
would be almost impossible to discover
them.
The absence of the cash book was not
discovered until this morning, when the
safe was operled for the first time since
one of the firemep hastily closed it at the
time of the fire. The safe was found
open al that time, and to prevent its con-
tents being destroyed it was promptly
shut. Mr.. Goldman came from Nantuck-
ct this morning and search was made
for the missing book.
Among the debris of the fire that had
been thrown in the back yard was found
about twenty pages of the book The
handwriting was that of Miss Barrett.
Mr. Goldman says that 1t is his personal
conviction that Miss Barrett did not
commit suicide, but was murdered, per-
haps by some one who followed her into
the office on Saturday. He does not be-
lieve that Miss Barrett embezzled
cent of the firms money.

PRICES FOR GRAPES

HEALDSBURG, July 26.-The strug-
gle for the grape crop of Sonoma county
is now on full tilt, and it promises to be
lively contest. The principal seat of
hostilities is Windsor, where the Califor-
mia Wine Association mas a cellar cap
able of harding 5000 tons of grapes this

it's strength there for the struggle
At meeting of grape growers held at

ton of Miller & Hotchkiss, who propose

German Politics

BERLIN, July 26-The newspapers are
widely discussing DR.. Miguers chance of
success of receiving majority for the
government by reuniting the parties. 1t is
admitted that he has a grand chance to
distinguish himself, but the general belief
is that he is not strong enough statesman
to accomplish his aim. The agrarian papers
show that the Agrarian league has no in
tention of yielding an inch, and in the
present aspect of affairs the bitterness be-
tween the Conservatives and National
Liberals is rather increased than dimin-
ished.

vices alleged to have been rendered the

ney's principal service was rendered in the

CANADIAN LAWS
OTTAWA, Ont, July 26.-The cabinet
today decided not to attempt to enforce
the alien law in the Clondyke district.
The subject Of royalty on the gold out
put was discussed but was left over until
tomorrow's session. Eighty additional
mounted police Will be sent on, however,
to maintain law and order, and the
United States attorneys at Washington
will be asked to give the right of way
through disputed territory. Two Gus
toms officers will be sent to the British
frontier to collect customs duties.
VANCOUVER. B. c., July 26.-It is re-
ported here that the Dominion govern
ment has decided to place a royalty on
all gold mined in Canadian territory in
the Yukon district. Officers will leave
here Immediately to enforce this decis-
ion. 1t is probable that the Canadian
government will build a telegraph line
from Lynn canal to the Clondyke, and
a system of reserving alternate sections
will be adopted.
MEXICAN MINES
CITY OF TdEXICO, July est is pre-
dicted here that when the gold placer
mining is developed in the state of Guer-
rero more gold will be taken out than in
the Clio ndyke region. Some placer min
ing is being done with excellent results,
and labor is cheap and water abundant,
eveh in the dry season. One miner IAN
olI Californian, reports taking out .$24,-
200 in gold in May, ad his average is $15,
600 per month. The Indians in Sonora
who work in crude way in the focal
gold placers, only operating when in
pressing need of money, get large re-
turns for very little labor and an OK
plorer who has recently been through
the remotest regions states that Sonora
will equal California in its palmiest days
as a gold producer.

PROMPT PROTESTS
NEW YORK, July 26-When Collector
of Customs Bidwell made formal an
rouncement today that the duties in the
Dingley rates would be collected on
goods entered on Saturday, many pro-
tests were at once filed by importers OF
goods entering on that day.
These goods arrived by the Normannia
from Hamburg, the Paris from South
ampton and the Umbria from Liverpool
The duties under the new tariff on these
goods on these three vessels amounted
to about 100000. Under the Wilson tar
if the duties would have amounted to
about 100000 Accordingly the loss to
importers appeared to be about $4,000
La Touraine from Havre with many
pictures and other works of art arrived
on Saturday, but the captain reached
the custom house too late to make entry
for his vessel. The protest will be first
passed upon by the board of general ap-
praisers and then appeals may be taken
by either the importers or the govern
ment to the United States circuit court,
then to the United States circuit court
of appeals and finally to the United
