KRUGER DRIBBLES.
Chamberlain Says the Crisis Is Not Yet
Passed.


Birmingham, England, Aug 26-In
throwing open h5s own gardens here
this afternoon tc, the members of ST.
Bartholomew library. Joseph Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the col
onies, was drawn into the most i'm
portant speech on the Transvaal situ-
alton he has made since the adjourn
ment of parliament.
But what am l to talk about?" ask
ed the secretary. Cries of the Trans
vaal."
Yes" he replied Il know there is
one subject which is very deep in all
your hearts and about which / cannot
talk or say much, lest / do harm.
That is the relation of our race with
the Transvaal government.
II wish that | could tell you to-day
that the difficulties existing for so many
years between her majesty's govern
ment and the oligarchy in Pretoria,
which has assumed such an acute form
during the past few years, were hap
PLY settled.
But, unfortunately. that is not yet
in my power. As you Know, for three
months we have been going. President
Kruger has made, perhaps, some little
progress, but l cannot truly say that
the crisis is past"
President Kruger procrastinates in
his reply He dribbles each reply like
water from a squeezed sponge. His Of
fers are accompanied with conditions
which he knows to be impossible, or he
refuses to allow us to make Il satisfac-
tory investigation of their nature.

Sheriff Garrity met the train this aft

scription tallies exactly and there is
no doubt that he is the right man,
though he says his name is T. ]. Ho-
gan and that he was never in the
army.
The conductor of the train said that
the man tagged him several miles this
side Of Wallace and it is supposed that
he walked from that town up the rail-
way line to avoid detection. 1t is learn
ed here tonight that there is an addi-
tionas charge against him of conspiracy
in the escape of the five men who got
out of the pen yesterday. He was
missed at the time they were and it is
supposed that he allowed them to get
away and then flew himself. He was
on guard at the time. He had no fire.
arms when arrested, but he is ex-
tremely nervous and the officers here
believe that they have the right man.
1t is surprising that he did not leave
the train before it reached Missoula.
He could have hidden at any of the
sawmill camps or could have left the
train at De Smet and taken the west
bound overland. He will be sent to
Wallace, where he will be court mar
tailed

A Derelict Passed.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 26.-Cap-
tain A. L. Hammer of the schooner
Lily L., from Unalaska, reports to the
branch photographic. office that on Aug.
16 he passed a derelict, which appeared
TO be a three-masted, square rigged ves-
sci. The lower part of the main mast
on which was gaff. was standing.
The hull was badly broken and a great
deal of the planking gone, showing the
ribs. The position of the derelict when
sighted was latitude 40 degrees 5S min
utes north, longitude 1876 degrees 46
minutes west. about $50 miles from the
north end of Vancouver island. 1t is
thought that this is not the same dere-
lict barkentine reported off Clayoquet
