Joseph Chamberlain Doesn't Believe the
Old Man Win Be Guilty of Double Deal

ing.
LONDON. July 20.-Replying to a ques-
ton in the House of Commons to-day re-
garding the relations between Great Brit
ain and the South African Republic, the
secretary of state for the colonies, Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, said that the modifi-
cations made in the franchise law OF the
Transvaal led the government to hope
that the new law may prove the basis of
a settlement upon the lines laid down by
Sir Alfred Miner, the British high COM
missioner of South Africa. The govern
ment, however, Mr.. Chamberlain added,
observed that the Voksraad has still re-
tanned number of conditions that might
be interpreted so as TO take with one hand
what was given by the other. 1t would
also be easy by subsequent legislation to
alter the whole character of the conces-
sions, but Mr.. Chamberlain added the gov
eminent feels assured that President Kru-
ger, having accepted the principle for
which the British government has con-
tended is well prepared to reconsider any
details of his scheme which might possibly
hinder the full accomplishment of the OBJ
ject in view, and that he will not allow it
to be nullified or reduced in value by sub
sequent alterations of the law or any act
of the administration.

Special TO the Register.
CUMBERLAND, Md, July 20.-An-
other wild-appearing man was captured
here to-day. For several nights coun-
try people had noticed nearly nude
man come down out of the mountains
at night and lie down in stream
of water, submerging his body and rest
ing his head On a stone. This morning
the man was still in the water and
farmers came to town in an excited
condition after officers. When taken
from the stream the creature was al
most dead. He was placed in the hos
pital. He says his name is Levi Ross,
and his home in Massachusetts, but re-
fuses TO give any further explanation.
He is about thirty and looks like an
Italian. The officials here were already
puzzled TO know what to do with an al
legged wild man captured weeks ago, and
now they have another on their hands.

1t appears Hugh Giffen, of this town

Giffen is led to this conclusion by the

it due the inland townships to give
them an opportunity to select a man
for this place on the ticket. The logic
does not discount Mr.. Citizens good
