attacks
II appears that colonial news is in
some mysterious way supplied TO the
Beers, and that their movements de-
pend largely on intelligence communi-
Gated through n-,ives. Disquieting in
formation comes from Herschel and
other points in Cape Colony, where the
natives are much excited.
A Cape Town dispatch says: II Is
tumored here this morning that Barkly
West, northwest Of Kimberley. has
been surrendered to the Beers with.
out firing a shot. Cape volunteers, It
is reported, will be sent to relieve Kim
berley.

KRUGER GROWS COURTEOUS.
British Suggestions ON the New Boer
Franchise Bill Invited

Pretoria, July 15.-Mr. Chamberlain,
the British Colonial Secretary, recently
asked for a copy of the new Boer fran
chise bill and an explanation Of certain OF
its clauses. He also suggested that the
debate on the measures IN the Volksraad
be postponed until he had studied the bill
President Kruger has cabled him that the
debate is already proceeding and could not
be stopped, but friendly suggestions would
be received. This is regarded as disprov-
ing Mr.. Chamberlain's alleged bellicose
attitude, but il is impossible for him to
make suggestions pending the receipt OF a
mailed copy Of the BILL as he has admit
ted in the House of Commons that he did
not comprehend its provisions.
London. July 1.-THE Central News
ard and Diggers' News" has received ca
BILE despatch from Johannesburg, under to-
days date, saying that the British Govern
ment has cabled 10 the Government of the
Transvaal approving the franchise pro-
posals now before the Raad, but suggest
ing some minor alterations in the measure.
Consequently the consideration of the bill
has been deferred. This, the despatch
says, is claimed as a triumph by the peace
party, and Lord Salisbury is acclaimed as
the vindicator of the Moderates.
Pretoria, July 1.-THE first two articles
of the franchise bill were passed at a Sc
cret session of the Volksraad this after
noon.

The governor has has been flooded with
requests to secure appointments and he
has sent letters to the applicants, of which
the following is part:

Much Interest Manifested in the
Weekly Bank Exhibit-Advnnces
Follow a Revelation of Strength in
the Financial corporations--Gran
gers Dull and Lightly Dealt In.

New York, July 15.-Prior to the publica-
tion of the weekly bank statement trading
in the stock market was virtually at a
stand still. The market opened fractional
iy lower, but with the course of the morn
ing somewhat firmer tone developed.
While the showing Of the banks was await
ed with the most acute interest no big
foundations induced by the uncertainty
as to results were shown.
The only stock In which the trading ap-
peared to be influenced by any other con-
sideration was Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
where the trading reflected the confusion
of mind on the part of the stockholders on
account OF the conflicting statements in le-
gard to the later situation OH tn. cornra-
ny's lines
Northern Pacific was also specifically but
slightly affected by the announcement OF
the dissolution Of the voting trust of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company,
which 1t was feared might cause friction
among the lines on the Pacific Slope. The
granger shares and the other standard is
sues were very dull, and were dealt in at
small price changes. The London houses
sold moderate amount of Northern Pa
cific in this market but were inactive else
where. The industrial quarter moved in
line with the remainder of the market
sharp advance followed the publication
OF the bank statement which revealed a
substantial Strengthening of the position
OF the associated banks. Loans were re-
duced over s17,000,000 from last week s
level, and the banks cash holdings showed
gain of about 81, 800, 900. The latter was
particularly gratifying circumstance as
the common estimates forshadowed a de-
crease in cash of about $4,000 900. It is
evident from this that the banks are re-
ceiying funds from some unknown quarter.
The decrease in deposits OF SIS, ,273. .0O0 was
logical reflection of the changes in loans
and in cash, and the increase of S., ,636, 900
In surplus reserve was further logical re-
nectlon OF the decrease in liabilities and
the gain In cash. The banks now hold
sl0,69S,0O0 in excess of the lawful REQUIRE
ments. The ratio of cash to deposits is
now 26 per cent as against 25.5 per cent
last week.

LYNCHED IN HIS CELL.
Mob Violence for n Murder Commit
ted i'm ApriI Last.

Savannah, Ca, July ia special from
Gainesville, Ga, states that great excite
ment prevails there over the work of a
respectable farmer of Habersham county,
in which Gainesville is situated, and who
was in Jail for the murder of William Bell,
commercial traveller from Atlanta, was
shot to death shortly after midnight. The
killing of Bell occurred some time ago and
did not create very much excitement at
the time. Recently, however there has
arisen some feeling against Smith, and it
eliminated in his death in a most tragic
manner.
The men bent upon taking the life of the
prisoner called at the Jail about midnight
and got Sheriff Mundy out of bed by tell
ing him they had a prisoner from a neigh
boring county TO place in Jail. One Of the
mob stated that he was the sheriff of Gil
mer county, which adjoins Habersham, and
that he wanted to leave prisoner for safe
keeping. Another of the MOB had his hands
apparently securely tied and acted well the
part of the prisoner. The leader went for
ward with him, handling him rather rough
ly to further carry out the deception.
The entire crowd succeeded in getting
into the jail before Sheriff Mundy realized
that he was tricked. His first intimation
that anything was wrong was when he was
told tG keep quiet and still and saw
gun barrel turned his way. He told the
men, at their request, where the keys to
the cells were. They were quickly secur-
ed and the mob began to despatch the work
which had brought il TO the jail. They
rushed for Smiths cell. There was rat
tie as of musketry in battle, intermin-
gled with cries for mercy and agonizing
groans.
Smith had been shot six times, and was
dead. The sheriff was unable to recognize
single one of his midnight callers All
the members of the mob were masked
The man who was lynched was one of the
most prominent farmers in Habersham
county. He killed Bell in April with
heavy club. He is said to have been drunk
at the time.
He accused Bell of having insulted
member of his family, and meeting him
alone in buggy rode up behind him and
Drained him with club.

A Special Building Permit.

Charles II. Merillat, attorney at law
has requested that special permit be
granted George r. Repetti to erect two
dwelling houses with bay windows on the
west side of Eighth Street southeast be-
tween Pennsylvania Avenue and z Street
He submitted a statement showing the
circumstances in the case. The street
is now q business thoroughfare, and desig-
mated as such by the District.
Inasmuch as the number of business
houses on the street predominant the
Commissioners have replied that they see
no reason why il should be eliminated from
its present classification as a business
street. They state, however that Mr.. Re-
petit may erect two dwellings upon his lot
with bay-window and stoop attachments by
receding from the building line to that ex-
tent which will confne the encroachment
upon public space within the limit allowed
by the regulations.

MEXICO GETS MRS. RICH
The Alleged Murderess to Be Ar
raigned at Juarez.
The First Instance I'm the History of
the United States where This Gov
ernment Has Surrendered One of
Its Citizens TO a Foreign Country
fer Trial-Her Reputation Net Good

For the first time in the history of the
sented to surrender one of its own citizens
for trial in foreign country The prece-
dent is even more remarkable, for the per-
son principally involved is a woman, Mrs.
Matte Rich, ''the champion lady pugilist
of America" according to her own descrip-
tion, and the crime with which she is
charged is punishable with death.
Mrs. Rich is in Jail at Ell Paso, Tex, and
she will be surrendered to Mexican officers
for trial az the town Of Juarez, Mexico,
just across the Rio Grande. The extradi-
tion treaty recently arranged with Mexico
was the first 10 which the United States
was a party providing that the citizen OF
one country wanted for crime committed
in the other country should be surrendered
to the other country if sufficient evidence
were produced to show his connection with
the crime. The provision had been in
serted at the instance of this Government,
TO which il viii be of more benefit than to
Mexico.
In the absence of such a provision in the
previous extradition treaty with Mexico
American criminals who fed to Mexican
territory could not be extradited to the
United States. There were great many
cases of this kind, but, curiously enough
the first under the treaty was that of an
American wanted for t-iaI in Mexico.
The evidence produced against Mrs Rich
by the Mexican Government at the hearing
before the United States commissioner who
heard the extradition proceeding was of
such a character that this Government
could not refuse to grant Mexicos request
for her surrender. She is charged with the
murder of her husband, a saloonkeeper of
Juarez whom she had met in Chicago.
Her own testimony showed that she did
not have q good reputation
