Cape Colony "Finest. -

The mounted police of Cape Col
ony are picked men, used to fighting
and proud of the high reputation Of
their corps. The force consists of
1000 enlisted men and sixty-eight
officers. The men are recruited al
most entirely in England, and many
of them the younger sons of gentle
men, who have no means of making
a livelihood at home. They are
mounted and receive $500 a year,
out Of which they are obliged 70 keep
not only themselves, h1t their horses.
In ordinary times they are scattered
along the frontier in little bands of
thirty or forty, their duty being to
keep the peace and prevent out
breaks on the part of the natives.
They are said to cherish particu-
larly bitter hatred of the Beers, and
the suicide of Major Scott, their
commanding officer, was the out
come of his chagrin at being tricked
into the surrender of the town of
Vryburg.

Natural Gas at BartIesvllle.

The city council took a very i'm
portant step toward the up-building
and improvement of the town Mon
dey night when it granted VIM. John
stone the exclusive franchise to fur
nish the city with gas for lighting and
heating purposes. To do this, Mr..
Johnstone will utilize the natural gas,
which, by previons experiments, has
been found to underlie the city and
surrounding country in practically in
exhaustable quantities. Although
Mr.. Johnstone, according to the terms
OF the franchise, has one year in
which to begin operations, it is nm
derstood on the highest authority
that he will begin the work of sink
ing wells in the very near. future.
The first we'll will be put down south
OF town and the date Of their COM
mencement will not beIbeyond the
moving of the city to it's new site.
1t goes without saying that the de-
velopment of this natural gas supply
will be of inestimable benefit TO Bar
uesville. In addition to giving the
town an unsurpassed system of light
ing, it will create a demand for labor
and also be means of bringing cap
ital from afar to this place.
An adequate system of lights is the
primary requisite to the establish
ment of modern and up-to-date city
such as 10 now admitted on all sides
that Bartesville will be-and Mr..

who can deyelop and perfect n sys-
tenn. The move is certainly stride
toward the right goal.-Bartlesville

special from Eagle Pass says:
Ambassador Clayton telegraphs
from the City Of Mexico to this.
Maverick county, that the Mexican
government refuses extradition of
Leonardo Gonzales, Mexican citi :
zen accused of the rape and muir
der OF an American woman at
Sanchez, on the Texas side, some
months ago, on ground of INSULT
cient evidence. The case has en-
crossed considerable attention as
being one of the first TO arise un-
der the new extradition treaty and
has caused several collisions be-
tween the governments of the state
OF Texas and the state of Coahuila
IN the first instance and later be-
tween Secretary of State Hay at
Washington and the Mexican for
elgn ofice through Ambassador
Clayton. The. accused has mean
while been held in custody by the
Mexican authorities. The cause is
similar in many respects to that of
Mrs. Rich, an American citizen,
who was surrendered by Texas and
the United States to Mexico on the
charge of murder of her husband,
though the evidence was wholly
circumstantial.

CONTROL OF ISLANDS.
Policy Suggested by the Insular Conn
mission to BE Adopted by
the President.

Washington, July 10.-President Nc
Kinley will adopt as the policy of his adj
ministration with reference to the con-
quered islands the report OF the insular
commission, which has just been filed.
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
are to be treated not as parts of the
United States but merely us property
owned by the government. According
to the views of the administration this
is the only possible means of exercising
temporary control over the islands UNI
til such time as congress shall decide
upon their future disposition. Under
the theory adopted by the insular COM
mission there is no distinction between
Cuba and the other islands for the time
being, but all are prizes of war and sub
ject absolutely to the disposal of con-
preSS.
