HIGH TENSION IN PRETORIA
BOERS AWAITING ARRIV1L OF
LAST BRITISH NOTE.
Kruger Warns All Burghers Not to
Leave without Pcrmission-Gifts of
Meal Offered the Govermm ent-Pro-
lection of tho Gold Mines.

Pretoria, Sept. 1.-THE burghers of
this place are offering the government
gifts of meal. The town has deserted
appearance. President Kruger has is
sued a notice warning burghers who
intend to go shooting beyond the River
Limpopo, which forms for many miles
the northwest and north limit of the
Transvaal, that they will be severely
punished unless they first obtain per-
mission from the local authorities.
The tension remains high, pending the
receipt of Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch.
1t is asserted on excellent authority that
the Tfansvaal government with view
of keeping the mining industry going,
has decided to protect it in every way
possible AS first step the govern
ment has notified the Rand companies
that their men will receive protection
so long as they remain peaceful, and
should war unfortunately occur the men
will be given a reasonable time to leave
the country if they desire.
1t is officially announced that the ar
ticle in the gold law about the contsca-
tion of claims and mines belonging to
people convicted of treason or conspira-
cy against the state which was last
year eliminated, viii be enforced The
article also gives the government power
to order that the mines be worked and
provides that if this instruction is dis
regarded the government may work
them through its own agents. Com
mandant General Joubert denies that
the war department is ordering heavy
ordnance and rifles. He declares that
he is anxious for the preservation Of
peace.

THE TWO COMMITTEES MET
nd Rev. Mr.. Irvine Remains as Re-
IigiOus Work Director ". NJ. G.. A.

AT a special meeting of the Second
Congregational church of Fair Haven
last Sunday committee was appointed
to confer with a committee of the Y. M.
c. A. relative to the services of the Rev.
Alexander f, Irvine. Mr.. Irvine is
wanted at both places. Some months
ago Mr. Irvine refused the call of the
church to the permanent pastorate. He
has supplied the pulpit and done the
pastoral work in addition to his work
at the association for nine months. Dur
ing the past few months a deep relig-
ious interest has been awakened at the
chArch, and a large number Of young
people have Joined the church. The
church felt that Mr. Irvine's entire
withdrawal from the church would be
detrimental to it's best interests; hence
a second call and urgent plea to stay.
Mr.. Irvine felt morally obligated to and
was engaged by the Y. M. C. A. for the
Grand opera house meetings and gen.
eral religious work. The two commit
tees met yesterday afternoon and came
to an amicable agreement. Mr.. Irvine
remains as religious work director, but
will preach Sunday mornings at the
Second church for a year. The board
of directors endorsed the report, subject
to the approval of the Second church.
The association will furnish Mr.. Irvine

RECEIYED WITH CONCERN.
Reports of south American Under
stnndlmg AgaInst A merIcn.


Washington, Sept. 1.-THE rumors of
possible combinations among the states
of Central and South America, directed
against United States, are received with
some concern by the officials here.
Nearly a year ago this spirit Of dis
trust on the part of the Latin -Ameri-
can people was first exhibited in the
semi -official discussion by the press of
the United States of Colombia, of a
proposition to combine the nations of
South and Central America. In that
case the purpose was to resist unjust
demands for indemnites by foreign
states, but incidentally during the dis
cussion it appeared that the scope of
the combination would be broader than
this and there was more than one in
timation of a deep-seated distrust to-
ward the United States.

urday there occurred at Naco, a small

was arrested by Mexican line riders,
charged with smuggling horses, and was
being taken by guards to Nogales for a
hearing. While at Naco, Bob Clayton.
a friend of Heron, asked permission to
accompany him to Nogales. The Mexi-
can officers consented, but notified Clay
ton that he would have to disarm him
self, giving him thirty minutes to do SO.
When the time was up the guards start
ed toward Clayton, who pulled his gun
and commenced firing.
The guards seven in number, return
ed the fire, while two other cowboys.
one of whom was named Franco, went
to Clayton's rescue. Clayton escaped to
this side, but received a bullet through
his body and arrived here last night. 4

started with Heron to Nogales were
overtaken by American cowboys, friends
of Heron, bent upon rescuing him. A
fight took place, resulting in the kill

the fatal wounding of Manuel Rivera
The third guard escaped to the custom
house, and, securing help, returned and
drove the cowboys across the line Her

nors of all the states:
Dear sir: On the request of General
Davis, who is in charge of the relief
work in Porto Rico, a central Porto Ri
can relief commission has been consti-
tuted for the purpose Of securing meth
cd and a common understanding among
the various committees engaged in the

work of relief and preventing confusion
and waste of effort. The committee is

ATTITUDE or UNITED STATES.
Not Likely That the American Exhibit
VIII he Withdrawn.

Washington, Sept. lit is believed
that when congress assembleC there viii
be considerable agitation of a PROPOSE
tlon for this government to abandon its
participation in the Paris exposition. II
is known that expressions hostile to the
exposition quoted from Senator Stewart
are very widely sympathized in, and it
Is thought that if the conviction of
Dreyfus is permitted to stand there will
be very little friendly feeting for France
among members of either the house or
senate. Such a move, however, would
be grave one. 1t is pointed out that
to withdraw from participation in the
exposition would be regarded as an otfi-
clal insult to France. No further leg
lslation on the part of congress is need
ed to carry out the plans of this coun-
try for the exposition. About S1,200,000
had been appropriated for the expenses
of the commission and the government
exhibit, the commission has been ap-
pointed and the space desired for ex-
hibits from this country has been Sc
cured.
There are now only two ways in which
congress could interfere. One would be
to revoke such part of the approprla-
tion as has not been already paid out
in the expenses of the commission, and
the other would be to pass a resolution
declaring that on account of the unset
tied conditions in France the valuable
government exhibits should not be sent
to Paris. To do either of these things
would be sufficient, it is believed, to
break off all friendly relations between
the two countries.
Congress and the state department
may look at the matter from different
points of view The president and the
state department, having responsibility
for maintaining our relations with for
eign governments, cannot be expected
to find in this affair reason for invol-
wing the country in an international
complica tion, and it is likely that the
executive branch of the government
will use what influence it can to pre-
vent hasty action. Unless congress eX-
pressly forbids it, this government will
proceed with the preparations for the
exhibition and will send to Paris such
exhibits as are decided up
on, but this will be done with realza-
tion of the probability that much of the
space secured with such difficulty for
private American exhibits Will be left
vacant. Little doubt is felt that the
latitude allowed the private citizens will
be quite extensively availed Of to with
draw from participation in the exposi-
ton.
Another difficulty in the way of an
effort to prevent participation in the
exposition, however, will be found in
he fact that before congress has assem-
oled much of the government exhibit
will be packed and on its way
% Paris, if not actually therer. The
exposition opens in April and the work
If transporting and preparing the ex-
libit will have then begun some months /
,efore that time. Up to this time, it is I
laid, the preparation for the govern !
nent exhibition has not begun, but the |
work viii! proceed as soon as the gov
'rnment officials are ready.

bridegroom was found by his friends
soon afterwards almost distracted. He
said that the girl he had thought he
was to marry had hidden herself away
and could be found nowhere. He claims
that all he cares about the matter now
is to have her give back the money he
had furnished for her wedding outfit,

Berlin, Conn, Sept. 1.-THE Ameri-

president Of the Berlin Iron Bridge
company with the result that he secur-
ed an Injunction from Judge Case of the
court of common pleas, Hartford, pre-
venting the company from stringing
wires through his land. He had his
men saw down a pole that lineman
was stringing wire on, but the man was
not injured. The opposition on the
part Of Mr.. Jarvis arises from failure
of the company to comply with the con-
ditions upon which Mr.. Jarvis gave per-
mission to string wire through his land.

Paris, Sept 12.-The Aurore publishes
| Zola, the novelist which is a pendant
to his famous "JAccuse' letter in the
early stages of the revision movement
1t concludes as follows: THE ministry
with it's agents has been arrayed. The
ministry which had the weakness to
leave bigl children with muddled minds
to play with matches and knives-the
ministry which has forgotten that to
govern is to foresee-has only to hasten
to act ii it does not wish to abandon to
the good pleasure of Germany the fifth
act of the drama, the denouement be-
fore which every Frenchman should
tremble. 1t is for the government to
play this fifth act as soon as possible
to prevent its coming to us from abroad.
The government can produce the docu-
ments. Diplomacy has settled greater
problems than this But if the govern
ment We're to recoil again the defenders

as it is to recommence in all
its fullness. If, meanwhile. justice is not
done, we will again help to do it. My be-
loved my valiant Labori, whose honor
has but increased, will, therefore. pro-
nounce at Versailles the address which
he was unable to pronounce at Rennes,

makes an appeal to the government |
which, he says, will return to France |
the honor she has lost by the Rennes |

He asserts that he knew positively in
