Of such fund to be known as the BOND

ENGLAND'S NEW TACTICS.
May Threaten the Cape Beers With
Loss of Franchise.

London, June 29-There is a story
current here to the effect that the Eng

Vaal, will seek to exercise pressure on
President Kruger by depriving the
Dutch in the Cape Colony of their fran

is extended to the English in the Trans
Vaal, will seek to exercise pressure on
at Cape Town holds office by virtue of
the Dutch vote in the Cape Colony, and
such a radical step this would have
the effect of driving it out of office,
Which would vastly simplify the situa-
ton, for much of Kruger's obstinacy
comes from the support which he re-
ceiVeS from the Cape cabinet.
The sensational st. James Gazette,
owned by Mr.. Steinkampf, and which,,
as long as Prince Bismarck was in office,
was the latter's organ of the English
press, comes out with a story of the ar
rival at Pretoria of a number of Irish
Americans and Fenians for the purpose
of obtaining from the Transvaa1 gov
eminent letters of marque to fit out
privateers, with the object of preying,
in the event of war, on the liners carry
ing gold and diamonds from the Cape
to England. The only ground for the
story is the fact that during the last
Boer war there was a. Fenian of the
name of Awkward, who played more or
less peculiar role with the Beers against
the English. That the Beers, however,
did not appreciate his services is evil
dent from the fact that he subsequently
turned up in destitute circumstances in
New York
There was also, some time ago.
story published in the Strand magazine
here Of a pirate preying on English mar
thine commerce and attacking English
mail steamers on the strength of let
ter of marque obtained from the
Kalipha, dervish leader, at Khar-
toum. These two things have evidently
furnished the ST. James Gazette with
the foundation needed for its extrava-
giant tale published.

Chief Hale Disposes of His Latest Fire
Patent in New York.

Kansas City, June 29.-During his re-
cent eastern trip, Fire Chief Hale con-
tracted to sell the new patent automatic
fire alarm device, completed by him and
Electrician Haldeman of the telephone
company, to a New York syndicate for
$50 900. Ten per cent of the price was
paid, and the rest will soon be paid.
The device was given an enthusiastic
approval by many people in New York.
The patent consists of a combination
of a telephone and gramaphone. 1t is
an electrical battery placed inside
building. When a fire breaks out in
this building, the patent automatically
telephones the fact to fire headquarters
and gives also the exact location of the
fire in the building, while outside red
lights are instantly displayed.
Chief Hale owns all of the patent,
save three sixteentlls. OF this Louis
Robideaux owns two-sixteenths and
