JOE CHAMBERLAIN
Attaches No Significance to Arrests in
 the TranSvaal

London. May 16.-Sir Joseph Chamber lain, secretary of state for the colonies, who was interviewed this evening, said he had heard nothing officially regarding the arrests in the Transvaal, and did not think that too serious significance ought to be attached to them. No information had reached him from South Africa, he as- serted, that could lead him in any way to anticipate or to explain the arrests.
 The news caused considerable excitement among the members of the house of com mons, but little disposition was manifested to credit the rumors of rebellious con- spiracy.

 MT. Mazet ended the matter by saying that Mir. Moss had distinctly disavowed any insinuation and MT. Moss interected the remark that he thought he had done the mayor service. The mayor said that if he knew of the existence of gambling houses he would order them closed and that if they were not closed he would "come pretty near relieving somebody"
 The mayor said he spent less than $500 or $4O0 on his election campaign.
 He stated that after his nomination he had given about $3,50O to the democratic organization. The money was not given to Mr. Croker.
 The mayor was then excused, Mir Moss saying that he would not need him again this week.

financial details which has since stood him well

cessful business men OF his part of the State.
At that time Mr.. DOckery wore silk hat, black
clothes Of fine texture. and the finest boots
known in Northwest Missouri Mr. Dockery's
boots were a dream The father OF Webster

pride in his workmanship. made the Dockery

access, and well equipped for the exhibition
The management was up to date; the same IN
deed which directed the recent remarkably sue
cessful show in Boston. and yet the CROWDS
which were expected failed to put In an ap-
pearance Nevertheless the exhibition was

the purely sporting point of view. Many OF the
prizes had been offered by well-wishers and
PATRONS Of the affair and the entrance fees and
other revenues more than made up for the some
what scanty gate receipts, according to report.
The third week in May is thought to be rather
too late for fashionable function of this sort
in town, and the chances are that the next ex-
hibition will be held earlier in the season.
One Of the striking features Of last weeks
horse show was the overshadow!ng prominence
of what may be termed the professional show
