RECEI. ED WITH CONTEMPT.
Joseph Chamberlain Complains of
President Kruger's Actions.

Birmingham, England, June 26.-Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, addressing the Unionists of this
city this evening, reviewed carefully the
Transvaal question.
In the course of his speech he said that,
owing to the enormous military prepara-
lions Of the government of the South At
rican republic, Great Britain had been
compelled to increase the British garrison
in Cape Colony and Natal. entalling an
additional expenditure OF 100000 annually.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the government
had tried to establish friendly relations
with President Kruger, but all their adj
Vances had been received with contempt.
He then proceeded 10 euloglze Sir aired
Miner, governor of Cape Colony and Brit
ish high commissioner for South Africa.
The government accepted full RESPONSE
bility Tor the actions of that official. AS
for the contemporaries of Ny. Kruger,
they did not constitute even a ialr install
ment of reform
After denouncing in the strongest terms
the attitude and actions of the Beers, Mr..
Chamberlain, with great elaboration and
emphasis, added:
The TTansVaafS enormous secret ser
vice fund has procured ii friends and ad-
vocates in every country. the way the
British subject here is treated IS not only
A menace to them all. but interfereS with
our prestige among the natives, VINO now
regard the Beers and not the British, as
the paramount power.
convention, the Transvaal Is hagrantly
violating the equality that convention was
intended 10 secure.
Its disagreement is a fostering sore,
noisOning the whole atmosphere Of South
Africa. The Dutch in Cape Colony and
Natal would be in the happiest condition;
hut so long as the disease Of hatred ana
suspicion prevails in the Transvaal It IS
impossible to stop the contaglon.

granted we have been on the verge or

Wyoming Southern Railway.
Especial Correspondence)

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 25.-The rail-
road which has been projected in Car
bon county. Wyoming, is known as the
Wyoming Southern railway and ex-
tends from Fort Steele on the line of
the Union Pacific railroad TO Saratoga,
a distance of twenty eight miles. The
officers of the company are as follows:
H. a. Framback, president, Denver,
Colo; II. H. BOyce. general manager,
New York; F. ChattertOn. secretary,
Cheyenne; T. J. Miner chief engineer,
Denver, Colo. After leaving Fort
Steele the line follows the North Platte
river along a water grade and taps the
rich coal fields at the head of Sage
creek. In 1890 the Union Pacific graded
about twenty miles of the line, and this
grade has been purchased by the WyO-
ming & Southern company. With very
little outlay it will be placed in service
able condition From eight to twelve
miles of the roadbed will be entirely
new. The line has been surveyed for
its entire distance and bids will be
opened shortly for the construction
work. 1t will be necessary to construct
about FIVE steel or iron bridges. The
work of constructing the line is not
considered difficult as the country is
not difficult to penetrate with a rail-
road. The matter of rolling stock las
not been considered at this time.

shield. 1t contains some beautiful COL
Ored cuts of views along the line and
a complete timetable of the Worlds

useful information for travellers. 1t
is a neat and handy little work for the

The other booklet contains a descrip-
ton of the fossil fields of Wyoming.
and is illustrated with cuts of fossils.
In connection with this it is interest
ing to- note that the Union Pacific has
issued invitations TO 500 prominent ge-
ologists and psychologists throughout
the country to join in a free excursion
of sixty days to study the fossil fields
of Wyoming. These scientists will as

THE TRIALS AT WALLACE.
Legal Technicalities Still Occupying
Attention of Court.

Wallace, Ida, June 26.-The defense
today filed an affidavit charging preju-
dice against the defendants on the part
of Acting Sheriff France, and four of
his deputies and Directing to the ap-
pointment of either as elsor to summon
jurors. They all objected to an open
venire claiming the jury should be
called from the regular jury panel.
The court overruied the last objection
and the defense asked time to file a
counter affidavit regarding Deputy
Angus Sutherland, the court having
signified its intention to appoint him
elizor unless a cause was shown to pre-
vent.
The defense then moved to quash the
citations to the county commissioners
claiming the charges were carried, the
statutes and state constitutions re-
quiring them TO be preferred by in
dictment or presentment by the grand
jury or by information filed by the
county attorney whereas those charges
come from the attorney general. APP
pearing as private citizen; also that
the crime must be charged from knowl-
edge and not simply information and
belief
The defense asked for time to pre-
pare a further affidavit showing cause
why Sheriff Angus Sutherland should
not be appointed eliSor. Judge Stewart
said he thought the defense had made
the case. but they argued that0they had
no suspicion that Sutherland appoint
ment was contemplated. The judge
further said that charges of prejudice
must be specific, defendants could be
named, but 1 understand that the
elisor is appointed by the court-not by
the defendant"
Finally the matter went over until
the defense being allowed to
produce affidavits from parties other
than defendants. After a long argu-
ment, the motion to quash the citation
was overruled.
The defense then offered motion to
quash the information, which met the
same fate. Then they filed a demur-
rer, argument on which occupied near
ly the whole afternoon, judgment be-
ing reserved until tomorrow.
The real contention of the defense
was that action was criminal, rather
than civil, and that the action was
improperly brought, but the court
overruled that point.
The prisoners at Wardner today
voted on the question of giving bail,
deciding by vote of 81 to not to
give bail
