Congressman Curtis, 1t Is alleged, by a
man who talked with him here this week
emphatically stated that he was going to
see to it that no federal officeholder went
to the Republican national convention
next year This would appear to be a
rap at Cyrus Leland, United States pen
sion agent. 1t will be interesting, II this
be Mr.. Curtis idea, to await the re-
suits.

WANTS GATLING GUN
Governor Gambler Requested to Send
One to Brunswick

Atlanta, September 5.-Governor Gambler
was asked today to send a gatling gun TO
Brunswick.
The request comes as the result of the
disturbed conditions and excitement in
that part of the state and for the further
reason that there was implied threat in
the statement recently made BY a negro
newspaper editor that armed negroes were
rady to sustain him in whatever he said
or did.
The request does not come from the city
of Brunswick, but from officer in the
militia, whose name has not been given
out for publication.
The state owns three gatling guns, one
located in Savannah, one in Atlanta and
the third has ot been assigned. 1t Is the
third gun, now unassigned, that is re-
qGested to be sent to Brunswick. Governor
Gambler declined this morning to say
whether or not the request would be
granted.
1t is understood, however, from highly
authentic sources that the declaration
made by the negroes in Brunswick that
they would defend the editor who declared
that the negro would show resistance, has
caused much excitement and unrest, bu,
1t is not believed that there is any danger
whatever of an outbreak at present.
Governor Gambler today issued an order
to the state militia to evacuate Darien, as
all signs of trouble appear to have passed
over.
The governor sent a telegram this morn
ing ordering two officers and thirty men
TO accompany Delegal from Savannah to
Darien this evening. Delegal will be placed
on trial tomorrow morning, and the mill
tary escort was furnished as a precaution-
ary measure.
The governor is well pleased with the
satisfactory manner in which Colonel Law
ton has conducted matters at Darien.

JAMESON RAID
British Outrages Referred to in Meet
ing of the Volksraad

Pretoria, September 5.-The Volksraad to-
day accepted Mr.. Coester's motion to fix
the debates to grow out of the interpella-
ton of the government as to the assem1
bling of British troops along the Transvaa1
borders for Thursday next. In presenting
his motion Mr.. Coester referred to the
Jameson raid and other outrages and MUIR
ders committed by British troops as leading
him to distrust the concentration. He de-
clared that the convention of 1884 did not
contain the suzerainty stipulation and he
maintained that Mr.. Chamberlain had
broken that convention by interfering in
the internal affairs of the republic.
Other burghers supported Mr.. Coester,
saying that while negotiations were pro-
ceeding all the British colonies were of
fering armed assistance.
"And must the Transvaal remain silent?"
exclaimed a burgher. "It is opposed to
Christianity to conduct friendly negotia-
tions and yet mobilize troops. We must
know why the British troops are on our
borders"
The motion to wait until Thursday for
the governments reply was agreed to
unanimously.

RAILWAY DEAL.
Reported That Southern Has Bought
Knoxville and Bristol

Knoxville, Tenn, September 5.-A rumor
reached this city Monday afternoon to the
effect that the Southern railway has
bought the options on the Knoxville and
Bristol railway. The latter road as pres
ent runs from Corryton, on the Knoxville
and Ohio railway, to Morristown. The
Knoxville and Ohio is controlled by the
Southern. The Knoxville and Bristol has
recently completed a survey from Knox
Vile to Corryton, and from Morristown to
Bristol, and has secured several hundred
thousand dollars of bonds from counties
through which the survey passes condi-
toned upon the completion of the road to a
connection with the Norfolk and Western
at Bristol.
This would have made the road a very
strong competitor of the Southern, as it
would have PARALLEL its line from Knox
vile to Bristol.
Local officials of the Southern profess
ignorance of such deal, but regard it as
very probable.
H. ]. Fraker. of New York, is president
of the Knoxville and Bristol, and ]. A.
Simmonds, of the same city, has been
promoting the proposed extensions.
The road was formerly the Morristown
and Cumberland Gap, and was sold to
Adolph Siegle, of Philadelphia. about
three years ago. afterwards passing into
other hands.

AN ULTIMATUM
Lonndon Mail Thinks Kruger Must
Yield or This Will be Next Move

London, September 6.-The Daily Mail
expresses the opinion today that the next
move will be an ultimatum unless Presi-
dent Kruger yields. 1t declares that 1900
men Is the outside number that the Trans
vaal government can put into the field.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: II learn from Boer sources that
reliable news has been received at Tho
Hague from Pretoria to the effect that
President Kruger will not give Mr.. Cham-
berlain time to send an ultimatum but
will take advantage of the first suspicious
move of the British troops on the border
to assume the offensive"
The Morning Post has the following from
it's Johannesburg correspondent, who is
now at Pietermaritzburg. the capital of
Natal: II inspected the country carefully
on the way from Johannesburg. The Vedt
is not yet in condition for war operations.
The town of New Castle Is utterly unpro-
tected. To seize it would assure the Beers
British to do twenty miles of fighting over
rough country peculiarly suited to Boer
tactics before they could begin the first
real action The war Office wants waking
up"
The Johannesburg correspondent of the
Standard says: There seems to be some
ground for supposing that the political
party at Pretoria has gained q temporary
advantage as the result of the influence OF
the Orange Free State.

FlLIPINOS ARE MISREPRESENTED

FILIPINOs ARE MIsREPREsENTED

Springfield, Mass, September 5.-The
perialists of this city tonight was attended
by 1,500 people. The principal speaker was
Former Governor George S. Boutwell,. At
the close of his address a committee was
appointed to further the organization of a
local society of ant-tmperialists, to be
called 1.-The Connecticut Valley Patriots"
In his address Governor Boutwell, said
in part: 1.-THE war against Spain and the
war in the Philippines have given rise TO
an opinion now much cultivated by the ad-
vocates and organizers of imperialism that
the supreme power of the United States is
vested in the president and consequently
that any criticism of his doings is akin to
a crime known in monarchies as les ma
jeste,' meaning thereby high treason. or a
purpose to commit high treason.
Stable Government Found
Wherever we have touched the Philip
pine group, we have found civilization, do
mestic comfort and a form of government
that was popular in its nature and agree
able to the people. In all the principal
islands there is local municipal government
on which the framework of a general gov
ernment can rest and be maintained in
stability and vigor. Such a government
based on declaration of independence
has been set up with Aguinaldo at its
head and with the authorized concurrence
of the representative men of 1871 provinces
and cities and towns. At the end of the
year of occupation we have gained moth
ing that is of value to us. The Fflipinos
have lost nothing that impairs their re-
sources for the conduct of another cam
paign."

will have seats in the encampment, which
will last two days. The committee on pen
sions met today and completed the report
around which the debate of the sessions is
likely to center. 1t is that while the COM
mittee will suggest certain changes in laws
that now seem to be equivocal and will
cite instances of hardship that have come
as a result of the Interpretation of the law,
1t will not join in the denunciation of the
pension commissioner, H. Clay Evans.

They will thus be absent when the YER

General Mercier being on the retired list
is not affected by this order, but Generals
Roget, Gonz and Deboisdeffre must go.
These orders are intended not only to avert
a demonstration in favor of the generals,
accompanied probably by serious disorders,
but also to prevent tn moral effect of their
presence in the court room while the
judges are deliberating as to their verdict,
and perhaps to prevent something even
worse than moral influence.
The court room was crowded today and
numerous applicants were refused admis-
sion. Public interest is heightening inn
mensely as the trial draws to a close. 1t Is
astonishing what a large proportion of la
dies from the audience, their smart cos
tunes and gay colors enlivening the ap-
pearance of the chamber.
Indeed, the journalists who themselves
have to encounter serious obstacles in
order to get admission often find their
places invaded by women who apparently
pass all barriers with very little difficulty
