Erred GRAVE IN ENGLAND
London. June THE Exchange Telegraph
Company to-day publishes an interview with
the Parliamentary Secretary of the Colonial
Office. the Earl OF Selborne in which ne is
quoted declaring that the conference at
Bloemfontein. Orange Free State between Presi-
dent KRUGER of the Tranvaal Republic and
the British High Commissioner and Governor
OF Cape Colony Sir Alfred Milner. proved
eminently unsatisfactory and that there is no
probability OF its resumption
The report Of the breakdown Of the Bloem-
fontein negotiations has created considerable
anxiety in political and official circles and there
is much speculation as to the next move of the
British Government While Great Britain prob
ably does not mean war it is generally thought
that at any rate there will be military prep
arations.
The Right Hon. Arthur J. Balfour First Lord
Of the Treasury and Government leader In the
House Of Commons, in the course Of speech at
a political banquet this evening said that the
failure OF the Bloemfontein conference was a
source of deep regret to the Government. II
was Enslands duty, he said not to allow her
rights TO be trampled upon; but he did not
believe that the controversies were incapable Of
solution.
In concluding his references to the conference
Mr.. Baifour said
my sanguine forecast Of successful issue
out Of these troubles is based On the facts that
principles obvious the elementary rights OF
civilization, which demand for fellow
countrymen must commend themselves TO the
citizens OF the Transvaal. and l venture TO
think that the good sense. justice. policy and
wisdom Of the leaders OF public opinion in the
Transvaal will make for some settlement which
will rightly preserve the independence Of tho
Transvaal"

SADLER WILL WIN.
That Is, II tho Injections to the Rono
Ballots are Sustained.

A Journal reporter last night in
terviewed Nate Rolf, who has Just
arrived from Carson concerning the
progress of the Gubernatorial contest
case. Mr.. Rolf has been following
the case closely aud is well informed
rs to the latest developments.
4The way the case stands now, said
Mr.. Rolf. @the Mcmillan side claims
that the vote is about even, while the
Sadler side claims decided majority
Sadler has majority of 81 on all the
clean ballots and if his objections are
sustained, including those made to
the red-ine ballots of Storey county
he will have majority Of 80. About
600 objections have been made in the
total State vote.
aThe Reno vote is now the bone OF
contention, and il the objections to
about 360 votes from Reno are sus
tanned, Sadler Is undoubtedly elected.
About 100 of these votes may be
thrown out on account of alleged il
legal registration Of voters, they be.
ing the ballots of men who registered
under Bowman during the illness of
Judge Linn: Votes from the Ander-
son school district and vicinity about
100 in all may also be thrown out, be-
cause OF an error in making a change
OF their voting precinct. They had
previously been voting at Huffakers',
but wished to be transferred to the
first ward Of Reno. In making out
the legal forms they specified voters
living within certain boundaries, and
as they are all outside OF the specifi-
ed boundaries, it Is doubtful if they
had legal voting precinct.
@Next Tuesday the court will sub
NIT all the objections to the attorneys
after which they will be argued. The
number of objections taken by both
sides is about even."- Journal.

KNOWS NO REMEDY.

The Reno Journal in commenting
upon the interview with Senator
Jones, published in these columns
last week, says:
@The Senator confesees his inabil-
ity to cope with the trust problem,
although in q general way he is OPP
posed to them. Probably the Senator
had ah idea that surfeit of 'protec-
tom was tho proper remedy for the
evil. This would appear as a fair
reasonable inference from the fact
that he voted for the Dingley law
which taxes all articles manufactured
by the monopolies to which he says
he il opposed, at such rates as to
render importation impossible. AS
the Senator's remedy does not seem
to be bowling success and as he &C
knowledges his inability to apply any
other remedy, why wouldn't it be
good plan for the Nevadans to hunt
up some resident of the State of ell
gible age and other constitutional re-
quirements, and let him try his hand
at the invention of some kind Of a
trust-breaking machine? 1t would
at least be well enough to look over
the matter and having arrived at
conclusion, possibly man may be
found among the ten thousand voters
OF the State, who could pass constitu-
honal muster in the matters requisite
to entitle him to hold down a chair in
the upper house Of our national Con-
gross. The suggestion Is worth think
ing about at all events"
The Journals suggestion is a good
one. We thought it strange when we
read the interview, that a man with
Senator Jones' experience in public
affairs could not figure out some way
by which the trusts could be brought
under the control of the law. II he,
with all his experience, can suggest
no remedy, the people OF the State
would lose nothing by sending some
one else to the Senate when his term
expires. II nothing would be lost, the
State would not suffer by the change.

STUDENTS WITHOUT MONEY,
IL They Are AhfnbIe md Energetic
They Can Readily Make Their
Way Through COLLEGE,

There is no reason why n students
food should cost him one cent. writes
Jesse Lynch Williams, advising young
men how to work their way through
college, in Ladies' Home Journal.
Every freshman has just as much right,
and certainly has rs good i chance. to
get up an eating club among his own
classmates as the upper cIassmen have.
club means merely tableful of eight
Or sixteen more or less congenial. fell
lows, generally classmates. The man
who runs the club does not cater for it.
In most cases he does absolutely moth
ing except gather the crowd together
at the beginning of the year, and in re-
turn he receives his own meals free of
charge. When he has once started it
man can generally run a club all
through his course. AS for clothes, a
student ought to be able to earn them
during the long three months of sum-
mer. The present generation does not
wait on table at summer hotels, but it
frequently manages the hotels or acts
as clerks. Many hotel proprietors pre-
fer college men because they are apt
to be gentlemen, and they are good at
organizing athletic games, etc. Other
students act as bathing masters, or
managers of boat houses, or CORE
spondents of city papers at watering
places, or even as professional enter
tainers at summer hotels where young
men are scarce. IL

A New York jeweler the other day
brought out small package no larger
than hens egg which was wrapped up
in common piece of white paper.
Undoing it he showed what appeared to
be yellowish white pebbles about the
size of large hickory nut, says the Sun
of that city. ...
"a mere trifle," he said, "but worth
nearly 100000"
The onlooker was amazed and took it
in his hand. "You mean $780," he sug-'
gested.
mo, 100000. It is South African
diamond that is still uncut. and there
are about $50 carats in il. At the rate
of $50 carat this would make more
than 100000, but, Of course, the larger
stones are more valuable. | suppose
this is the largest diamond ever brought
to this country. The name OF the i'm
porter? That's a secret which we are
not allowed to divu1ge."
Now that uncut diamonds are free of
duty the importations are on a much
larger scale than heretofore. The one
in question has been considerably
ground down, but had no polish or
sparkle to suggest that it was dia-
mond at all.

Fresh Gold Crops.

There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year.
or in other words, where fresh de-
posits are to be found annually.
One such district is the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian northwest,
where,after the spring floods, from the
Same banks and benches" of the Sas-
katchewan river there eyerv
yoar considerable gold is taken out
by a few diggers, who make their liv-
ing that way.
But the most conspicuous and in
teresting case Of this sort is to be seen
near IchaDg in the province of HUI
peh, China. For many centuries past
each year gold has been washed out
OF the banks OF coarse gravel on each
side OF the river Han, and in the
auriferous district there is village
called Li-Kiu-tien, which means gold
d19gers' inn. It's inhabitants sub.
divide the gold-bearing ground be.
tween themselves annually stalking
out their claims with partitions. They
pay no royalty and appear to earn
but bare subsistence but this may
be doubted, as John Chinaman ia an
adept at "laying low and saying nuf-
fn."
The annual river floods bring mil.
lions OF tons OF mud and sand from
the mountains, which Is charged with
gold and is deposited to depth OF
Blk or more inch on top of the gravel.
IL Is IN winter that the gold is washed
out and it is said that seven mon can
work ~ ton Of dirt a day.-Ex.

A FOX IN A FOLD.
Reynard Paid with His Life for His
Attempt to Get n Fenst Of
Young Lamb.

Sheep do not often go fox-hunting,
but when the fox comes to them. events
may take the course they did on the
Denton farm at East Somerset, New
York. The owner of the farm brought
large dead fox to town, says the
World, and offered to treat" if anyone
could tell in 20 guesses how the fox
had met his death.
OF course, everybody gave it up, and
then Mr.. Denton reminded them that
he is a sheep-raiser, and has a large
flock of Dorsets, of which he is espe-
cially proud. With their large horns
these sheep make formidable show
ing, and they are so cross that it is
as much as strangers life is worth to
venture across field IN which they are
pastured. Last summer a tramp was
o7sTtaken by a Dorset, and would have
been killed but for Mr.. Denton's inter-
vention.
Of late a score of lambs have been
born, and the bucks are more bellig-
erent than ever. One night Denton was
about retiring when he heard loud
bleating in the fold near the house,
and believing that dogs were around
and perhaps attacking the lambs, has
tened outdoors to investigate.
For a time the bucks refused to al
low him to enter the fold, but pres
emily they Gained down, and he went
in. There lay fox. recently killed
and bleeding from numerous wounds.
A horn Of one of the sheep had entered
reynard's body back of the shoulder
blade, and then his life had been tram
pied out. The fox's hide showed more
than 40 holes made by the sharp hoofs
and horns.

Acute Hourly.
London. Aug. 3l.-The Pretoria cor.
respondent of the Daily Chronicle,
telegraphing Tuesday, says:
Events have taken an alarming
turn. Great Britain, at the request of
the uitlanders' council, has enlarged
the original demands of Sir Alfred Mil
ner, the British high commissioner,
and is adopting the view of Cecil
Rhodes that President Kruger will
never withstand an ultimatum. have,
however, high authority for asserting
that President Kruger, the volksraad
and the nation will unitedly resist an
unconditional demand for giving eff
feet to the Miner program, but will
concede reforms on the conditions al
ready reported"
The Cape Town correspondent of
the Daily Mail says:
"a pitiable scene was witnessed at
the railway tsation today on the ar
rival from johannesburg of $50 chill.
dren whose parents are too poor to
come themselves. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 people have left the Transvaal
since the crisis began.
"Bechuanaland is in state of fer
ment, owing to fears of a Boer raid.
Colonel Baden-Powell's forces there
are wholly inadequate to protect such
an extended frontier and the Beers app
pear to be quietly concentrating in the
western part of the Transvaal."
