London. Sept. 15.-The blue book con-
tanning the last Transvaal dispatch of
Chamberlain relating to matters which
led up to the dispatch being sent was is
sued today. The text of Chamberlain s
note is identical with the dispatch as
cabled the Associated Press September
13.
The only important feature revealed
is the telegram from the British high
commissioner. Sir Alfred Miner, dated
August 81, referring to the commercial
distress and saying:
Il am receiving representations from
many quarters to urge the imperial gov
ernment to terminate the suspense. Brit
ish South Africa is prepared for extreme
measures, and is ready to suffer much
more in order to see a vindication of
British authority. 1t is a proiongat ton of

a strong reaction of feeling against the

added:

No DreyfuS Meeting.

New York, Sept. 15.-There will be no
mass meeting in this city to protest
against the condemnation of Dreyfus
Efforts We're made to arrange such a
gathering, but the men who We're asked
to take leading part declined to do so
and expressed the opinion that the move
ment was a mistake. Consequently the
promoters of the affair decided to aban-
don the idea. Former Mayor Strong,
who was asked to preside, Former Secre-
tary of the Interior Bliss, President Gug
genheimer of the municipal council and
other men of standing told the advocates
of the mass meeting plan that they
would do the Dreyfus cause more harm
than good by holding it, and that they
could not consent to participate in it.
1t became evident that there is very
little basis for the talk of boycotting the
Paris exposition because of the second
verdict against Dreyfus. Representative
men expressed the view that the entire
French nation should not be condemned
because of the action of a military clique,
and that the feeling aroused by the Drey-
fus verdict should not be allowed to in
terfere with the exposition.
II think agitation tending to arouse
bitterness between this country and
France because of the Dreyfus trial
places us in rather ridiculous position"
said Cornelius N. Bliss. MY opinion, like
that of most other Americans, is that
great injustice has been done, but talk of
boycotting the Paris exposition because
of it is foolish
I'VE should pay no attention whatever
to the Dreyfus case," said Former Mayor
Strong. THAT is a matter of their own
over there, and what the judges have de-
cided should not interfere with the expo
sition in any way
VIM. F. King. president of the Mer-
chants association, is strongly opposed
to any boycott Ct the exposition.
President Guggenheimer of the council
said: II do not approve of the agitation
or of the mass meeting plan because l
don't think they will do any good at this
time. We all recognize the fact that a
great wrong has been done, but believe
that agitation will not help matters any"
my first thought when l heard of the
verdict was that we ought to retaliate on
the exposition said Frank S. Gardiner,
secretary of the board of trade and trans
portation, but after all the exposition is
business matter and our merchants are
to show goods there for their own benefit
ra ther than that of France Therefore it
would be foolish to hold back

HER CONSCIENCE WORRIED HER
Mrs. Lunsberg Wants the Body of
Her Husband Exhumed

New York, July 13.-Charlotte Lunsberg,
a housekeeper at 404 East Fifty-fourth
Street. went over to the Brooklyn health
Office today and got permit to take up
the cut-up body found in the water OFF
Bay Ridge month ago and buried in the
county farm as unknown. The body was
that Of her husband Frederick Lunsberg
he was a German sailor years ago. He
went away from home a week before the
dismembered body was found. Mrs. Luns-
berg when she saw the body at the morgue
was sure it was that of her husband. The
tattoo marks on the arm and the injured
middle finger left no room for doubt in
her mind. But she wanted to wait until
the legs were found to- see if there we're
some toes cut of. Her daughter, too, al
vised her TO say nothing and in that
way avoid publicity. In that way also the
expense OF burial would fall on the city.
The Lunsbergs have very little money.
But afterwards Mrs. Lunsberg began to
feel Conscience stricken, ii is said, and at
last she went to Brooklyn to have the
body taken up. She says she wants TO be
sure that 1t is her husband. She has not
decided yet. however, that she will bury
the body In another place. Lunsberg was
born in Hamburg and was s!xty-one years
old. The morgue authorities did not take
much stock in the woman's story because
the body appeared TO be that OF a younger
man. Mrs. Lunsberg says her husband
looked young.

AN ARAB UNIVERSITY.
Mosque of tEe Olive Tree Great
Centre of Learning.
From the Pail Mall Gazette,J

(FrOm the ran Mall GaZette.l
Sir Harry Johnston devotes a section of
his new report on Tunis to an account of
the measures taken there for educating
the native population. In the course of
this he gives very interesting account OF
the Mosque of the Olive Tree tJama-eZ-
Zituna) at Tunis, one of the three great
centres of Mahometan learning in North
Africa the others being Ell Azhar. in Cairo,
and the Great Mosque at Fee, in Morocco.
This Zituna still remains a great centre
of teaching 1t is an immense building,
with 161 porphyry columns, lit only by
many open doors. outside the main build
ing is a vast square. surrounded by col
onnade, at one end of which is an i'm
mense minaret. Within the main build
ing, where the porphyry columns are. is
the sacred shrine, and in this main build
ing the professors teach and the students
learn. 4 -.
The institution has a valuable library
OF Arab books and manuscripts. some of
which are said to have come from the IA
nous library of Alexandria destroyed by
the first Mahometan invader OF Egypt. Sir
Harry Johnston, however, asked student
at the mosque whether this was the case,
but the student asserted that every docu-
ment in the library was in Arabic. and
either in Cufic or modern Arabic charac
ters. But a search in the library by
competent scholar would probably result
In discoveries of interest There is such
a large proportion of old works inscribed

this university while there are about loo

and continue until sunset. fifteen different
lectures usually going on at the same
time. Each professor sits cross-legged,
with his back against one of the many col
umns OF the mosque, his many students
grouped about him. The latter vary in age
from sixteen to thirty, but occasionally
are men OF advanced middle age. They
can choose their own professors, but are
constrained to some extent as to the course
OF teaching it is considered best for them
to follow. They live near the mosque in

PROFITS FROM THE SEA.
The Ocean One of the Worlds Great
est Sources of Value.
(From the New York Sur


The average value of the product of agri-
cultural lands per acre or square mile is
often computed. but probably few of US
have seen similar computations relating TO
the sea. Prof. Heusens. writing in the
German geographical periodical. 'Globus."
has figured out an average of this sort for
the North Sea which is well konwn to be
one of the worlds great sources of value
derived from fisheries. He says the value
of the fish caught in the North Sea yearly
by the countries bordering it is about SAL.
Geo, COO The yearly catch is never known
TO be less than S37, 100000 nor more than
S45. 600 goo. The North Sea, including the
Skager Rak or gulf between the southern
part of Norway and Sweden. has an area
OF 225. 1854 square miles and, therefore.
the average value of the North Sea fisher
les each year is S1S.15 for every square
mile of the sea. England and Scotland
take the lions share OF the wealth OF these
waters, the annual value of the English
fisheries being about $21. go GOO: Scotland.
S6525, ,O00; Holland, Si.T50.000; France.

$3.50, 600: Belgium, S900.0oO; Denmark.
S4G0 0oO.
Thus all the nations around the North
Sea share in the wealth it yields, and it
gives some idea of the direct monetary
value OF this great watery waste to know
that every square mile Of 1t adds over SIS
year to the production Of the nations liv-
ing along its edge.

A RECEIVER FOR A CHURCH.
Predicament of n New Orleans Pres
byterian CONGREGATION.

ny
New Orleans, July 13.-Judge King, of
the civil district court. on motion OF At
torney General Cunningham today appoint
ed Edgar NJ. Calm receiver for the I'm
manuel Presbyterian Church. of the city,
and decreed the forfeiture of its charter.
A receiver for church is unusual and the
case is the more extraordinary in view of
the fact that the receiver of this Presbyte-
rian church is a Jew in race and religion.
The question at issue is a most involved
and complicated one. the result OF long
church dissension between the minister
and the trustees. In 1886 Casper Auch. a
wealthy German, bequeathed his entire
large fortune to the several Presbyterian
churches of New Orleans to be divided
among them and the interest from the
money to be used in caring for poor Pres
byterians. The Emmanuel Church got s11.
coo as its share. but instead of keeping
this trust fund intact for the poor. the
trustees adopted the practice of borrow
ing from it to pay various expenses. The
church had not paid its minister. the Rev.
Owen Reidy, in full for twenty years, and
to settle with him they paid him $4,000
from the poor fund, OF which he himself
was one of the trustees, and used the bal
ance for other purposes. Then the other
trustees ousted Reidy from the trustees
and brought suit against him and secured
judgment for s10,652, the amount paid him
from the Auch bequest. The judgment,
however, is of little value. All these things
brought such a scandal that the congrega-
ton of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church
has dwindled down 10 the three trustees
and their families. AS the church ope-
rates under State charter the Attorney
General intervened and called for the for
feiture Of the charter and the appointment
OF receiver to straighten out the tangled
affairs of the church.
