ENGLAND'S TERMS.
Letter OF Sir Joseph Chamberlain to
TransvaaI Governinent.

London, September ID The message
of the secretary Of state for ths colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Cham bsrlain, says be under-
stands the concessions made In President
Kruger's note OF August IS have been
withdrawn on account OF British attitude
regarding suserainty and adds:
'Her Maiesty's government has ahso-
iutely repndiatsd the view of the political
status of the Transvaal taken by the
Trensvaal government. claiming the
status Of sovereign stats, and therefore
is unable 10 consider any proposal inade
conditionally on their acceptance OF this
viaw"
Continuing, the note says the British
government is satisfied that the Ian en-
bodying the proposed alleylating meas
ures for outlanders 10 inefficient TO secure
immediate and substantial representa- tion,
which, 1t is understood the Transvaal
admits to be reasonable. 1t then says:
"Moreover, the presentation OF the pro-
posals in the note OF August 10 indicates
that the government OF the South African
republic themselves recognized that their
previous offers might with advantage be
enlarged and the Independence Of the
republic thereby in no way implied"
Ths despatch then goes on to say that
Great Britain is still prepared to accept
the franchise proposals of August 10 pro-
sided court Of inquiry, whether joint or
unilateral shows the new scheme to be
unencuinbered by null.fying conditions.
In this connection the British govern-
msnt requests that the new members of
the Raad will be allowed to speak their
own Language and adds that the accept
ancs of these terms wo uld at once relieve
thu tension and would in all probability
render unnecessary any further interven-
tion of Her Majssty's government to Sc
cure redress for grievances which the
Outlanders themselves would be able to
bring to the notice Of the executive ooun-
oil and Volksraad. Her Majssty's govern
msns is increasingly impressed with the
danger of further delay in relieving tho
strain which has already caused 90 much
injury to the interests OF South Africa

reply to be sent to ths proposal. Accord

THIEF TAKING IN ZANZIBAR.
4 Medicine Mans Way Of Workfnl
TIE Third Degses ON Suspects.

4 Medicine Mans Way of Working
the Third Degree ON Suspects.
This story Of thief taking in Zanzibar
was told by 4 woman who was one Of the
guests at Q luncheon.
1.-THE English consul, she said, Twas
robbed of silver dinner SERVICE and the
police advised him to call in q medicine
man II he wanted to get 1t back. So he
sent for the medicine man and invited his
friends in to sec the fun.
"The day came and with 1t the medicine
man, who was little, old, squat, repul-
sive looking negro, SO small as barely to
escape being dwarf The only things
that the medicine man brought with him
were four little sticks IL or IL inches long
and as thick through as my little finger.
He asked for small low table, squatted
down before it Turk fashion, held two of
the sticks, one In either hand and ordered
the consul to sit opposite him and hold the
other two sticks, allowing the tips to rest
gently on the table. All the servants were
in the next room, with the door closed.
The medicine man rolled his eyes ceiling
ward and began muttering some gibberish
that we took to he an incantation.
IL soon noticed that the consul looked
distressed and uneasy, and, bending over
him, asked him the reason. He said:
why, can hardly hold these sticks.
They tug as If some one had hold Of the
other end and was trying to pull them
away from mo. He was joked a bit
about his vivid imagination. One Of the
men offered to and did relieve him, only
to find that 1t was no joke. The magic
power of the medicine mans Incarnation
made holding the sticks real physical ef-
fort. Did try holding them myself
Yes, but can tell you very little of that
satisfied me. What do think 1t isp Oh,
I don't know-devil worship or some
thing else. But let me go back to catching
the thief.
lone of the servants was admitted and
ordered to place his two hands on the ta-
BILE. He did it. Nothing happened. Tho

q minute or more, then said to the SER

after another was called, with no result

his master gave mighty tug and closed
around one Of his wrists, while the two
sticks in the medicine man s hand snapped

did not wait to be accused, but blurted
right out: I did not do it alonel There

Overworking the Telescope.

Lady Theodore Guest, in giving an &C.
count Of her crossing the Rocky noun
tains, tells how hard her aneroid barom-
etcr was worked in showing the heights
to which she climbed. This reminds her
of the story of telescope once owned by q
Somersetshire farmer.
The old man, remarking to friend at
local race meeting that the gentry now
adays had glasses for both eyes, he added
that he had had one once for one eye, q
right good one 1t was, but now it was no
use at all-no, not to nobody"
"Why not?" asked the friend.
"Well, he said, sit were good one

But missus son John, he borrowed en-,
and he tried to see the steeple Of t'other
church, ten miles off-and tried and tried
and couldn't. And that strained it, and
it were never Of no use any more-no, not
to nobody"
