Feellngin Cane Town,

London, June 23.--A dispatch from Cape Town to the Outlook says: "The tension is extreme Business is at a standstill, and the general feeling is that England must promptly bring mat ters to an issue. The Afrikander Bund will have no difficulty in preventing meetings in favor of Sir Alfred Miners attitude, as his supporters desire to re- frain from embarrassing the imperial authorities.
 'The Orange government is urging the Transvaal to make further concessions. Many persons consider that Sir Alfred Miners franchise proposals are useless without the granting of twelve seats in the mining centers and the right to speak English in the Volksraad Other- wise it will be impossible to select rep resentative men. Failing these conces- sons the Johannesbergers say they pre- fer treaty providing security and ju- dicial and educational reforms"

THE WRECK 1T CANTON.
 Traffic Not Resumed Until 2 ID. m,- Fireman HicIey's Condition.

Collinsville, June 23-The wreck of
 the east -bound freight on the Central
 New England railroad which occurred
 near Canton early this morning was not
 cleared so that traffic could be resumed
 until nearly 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 Though all of the train crew from en- gineer to f1agman were more or less in- jured, Fireman Daniel Hickey of East
 Hartford is the only one whose condi- ton is critical. He was taken to the Hartford hospital In a special train and it is thought that his injuries are fatal He is thirty-five years of age and mar ried. Engineer Timothy Farrell of Mid dletoWn, N. r., was buried under the locomotive for three hours, but fortu- nately was rescued with only slight in- juries. For more than an hour it was not known that he was under the loco motive, as he was unconscious. There were three cars piled on ton of the lo- comotive and they were on fire, but the crew managed to extinguish the flames before much headway was gained. MT. Farrell was taken to the residence of Station Agent Fleming at Canton, where his injuries were attended to. The To- when it left the rails descend- ed a small embankment and plowed through the earth for quite few feet. The engine had been out of the repair shop in Hartford but two weeks after a thorough overhauling. A trestle will have to be built to get the locomotive back on the iron, and it promises to be a somewhat lengthy job. There were three freight cars demolished and three crippled and four or more or less burn- ed. The loss will be about five thou sand dollars.

 Boat-Work of the Yale Crew-Har- vnrd's Work Ragged.
 Harvard Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 23.-The work of the Harvard crews this evening demonstrated the great superb ority of the varsity over the freshmen in several trial bursts of speed. In the longest trial, which was quarters of mile, the varsity finished three lengths to the good It is the opinion of experts that the varsity crew does not look we'll together The blades do not all take the water at the same tfme This evening MT. Storrow coached the men on keeping better time, recovering slowly and carrying the blades close H the water, Casper Whitney, who spent to-day at the Yale quarters, is expected here tomorrow and will get look at the Harvard crew. J. J. Storrow was down from Boston to-day to coach the freshmen. The new boat built by Da- vis which was purchased by graduates in New York, arrived at the Harvard quarters this afternoon. MT. Davis with lWU dSSlSldulS WSlll eIt OliCe to Wolh IFS ging it and it will be ready for the prac tice next Monday The new shell is very light, not weighing over 225 pounds, which is from thirty-five to forty-five pounds lighter than the boat Harvard has been rowing it. It is planned to give the men light work tomorrow.
 Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, June B. A brisk southwest breeze, which has been blowing up the Thames all day. made it impossible for the Yale crew to do heavy work Shortly before 10 a. m the vrasity crew pulled over to the cove opposite Broadview, where the launch dropped her anchor and the coaches sent the eight up and down in two hum dred yard stretches for almost an hour. As has been the case for the last few days, especial attention was paid to the recovery: The water calmed down con- siderably this evening and the eight was sent some miles upstream Again the coaches attention was centered in get ting the men into position for the catch without hurrying. The result was grat- flying, as the return stretch to the boat house showed marked improvement in this respect. The rough water made the blade work somewhat ragged and all the men were coached in handling their cars on the rough surface. The work of the freshmen and varsity four was similar to that of the varsity eight.
