ONLY A TEMPORARY SLUMP
Wall Street Receivers From the
FURRY Following the Death
Of Flower.

New oYrk, May T.-Speculation on
stock exchange today was expected to
reflect more clearly to what extent
public apprehension had been excited
by the death of the recognized leader
u the street. Saturdays market was
of too brief duration to convey fully
the probable course of stock values in
the rear future. During the interval
over Sunday abundant opportunity
was afforded for the substantial inter-
csts in the market to outline a pro-
gram which would innre to the stabil-
ity OF prices md preserve public conf
llence.
While it was universally conceded
that an immense amount of gilt-edgel
stocks and bonds had to be sacrificed
Saturday to protect commitments in
sspecialties, it was claimed Shese secu-
rites We're absorbed by Investment
buyers who were not influenced by
the spasmodic onslaughts of the bears.
The opening today was characterized
by comparative dullness, prices favor
ing a high level. 1t seemed to be the
policy Of the reputed hackers of the
market to let it map out it's own course
for II time, but they stood ready to lend
effective assistance in sustaining
prices If required. Feverishness o
developed, but the variations did not
exceed n point except in the special

H"
London, May 1G.-Thc adyices from

ably connected with a mysterious dis
patch received at Johannesburg from
Pretoria OF May -. saying n special
train fully equipped with Boer artil-
lerymen, guns and Il searchlight APP

the capital of the Transvaal.- The
statement was then declared to be
without significance. but today's news
throws a more serious light on the
be a great sensation in London when
the news of the arrests becomes gen
orally known.
The afternoon newspapers today
print special dispatches from Cape
Town saying seven mel have been ar
rested at johannesburg and have been
taken to Pretoria. The government of
Cape Colony, it further appears, is
considering the matter secretly.
The news has caused great excite

The Standard and Diggers News, the
Boer organ in London, mas a dispatch
from Pretoria. which says that war
rants were issued yesterday evening
by the state attorney and were execut-
ed at midnight. The dispatch adds that
a plot Or rebellion is alleged to have
been maturing for four months and
that the accused, who are said to have
been engaged by the South African
league, had already enlisted 1000 men.
Cecil Rhodes, the former premier of
Cape Colony, and resident director III

A RUSSIAN K%LoNDlKE.
Rich Gold Fields Reported Found

in KaMchatka.
Paris, May 17.-Advices from st. Pc
tersburg tell of the report of an en-
cheering expedition which has just
returned from Port Arthur with ac-
counts of the discovery of gold fields
in Russian territory which equal in.
richness the mines Of the Klondike.
The mines are said to be located in
K~amchatka, on the 16Oth degree of
longitude.
The expedition de la Kamchatka
d'Ocotsk, under the direction of Mr..
~Bodgnorvich, representing the Rus
sian government, will divide the new
territory into five equal provinces, and
invite the formation of private COM
panies to exploit the mines.
New companies will be allowed to
capitalize to the amount of 5000, 900
rubles ($3, 75O, 000), and during the
first five years viii not be asked to pay
anything to the government.
After the first five years, however,
the government will exact a percent-
age on all outputs. which will be SUBJ
lected to close supervision and exam
nation.
1t is believed most of the stock com
panies will be formed in France and
America.
The entire affair has been kept
quiet. but demands for information of
companies under the terms expressed
have already been addressed to per-
o II in France.
The Russian minister Of agriculture
is quoted as saying the climate in the
region is not SO severe as that of the
Klondike. &

Shanghai, May 1.-THE tsung Ii va

piled to the Russian minister at Pc
king, NJ. de Giers, hat the government
is unable to accede to the Russian dee
mund made last Wednesday for a new
railway concession connecting Peking
with Russia's present system in Man
churia.
Not since the taking of Port Arthur
by Russia have the Chinese been so agi.
tated as over this demand. Whether
NJ. de Giers named a specific route is
tot yet ascertainable, some officials
stating that only Il preliminary notice
was given by Russia and others that
she is asking for u line direct from
Peking to Shan Hal Kwon.
Certainly. the British legation in
Picking had no previous knowledge
that such q proposal was coming from
st. Petersburg. The concession asked
for would ruin the existing northern
railways in which British capital to
the amount of E2,0OO,O 900 is invested,
but there seems to be no alternative
route, without interfering with plans
for railway extension which the Chi.
nese themselves have in mind.

that Russia's latest move in China will
reopen the entire question of Russian
And British rights there.

Dr.. Andrews made known his decision

Opposition Of Cuban Malcontents

cABAL AGAINST GENERAL GOMEZ
Old Rebel Chief Wishes to Wash His
Handssor the Whole Affair,
but Will Appeal to the

Havana, May 17.-Noon.-General
Gomez today informed General Brooke
he could no longer act as the repre-
sentative of the Cuban army in the dis
tribution of the $4,000, 900 appropriate
ed for the payment of Cuban troops.
General Gomez said he had arrived at
this decision with great reluctance and
with most friendly Feelings towards
General Brooke personally and otficial-
~, but he felt he could no longer rep
resent the Cuban army because u
cabal. composed of many subordinate
commanders, existed to oppose, and, If
possible, defeat his plans for appor-
tioning the money. He explained that
former members of the Cuban military
assembly, led by Mayai Rodriguez,
Manuel Sangnilly, Juan Gualberto and
other ~malcontents, had organized the
majority of the officers against him,
apparently, and though he Gomez
might persist and possibly carry the
payment to n successful conclusion, he
wished to wash his hands of the whole
business. Therefore he thought il he
left General Brooke free the latter
would be able to act with equal effect
iveness alone.
General Gomez communicated these
views 10 IenerdI BROOKE at an inter-
view which continued an hour and a
half.
General Brooke expressed sympathy
with Gomez and said he regretted the
position he had taken, but the Ameri-
can commander added that If his deci-
sion was Interchangeable he would pro-
coed to deal with the question alone.
1t was then mutually agreed that
Gomez shall issue tomorrow u mani
festo to the Cuban army. This docu-
ment will be prepared this afternoon
and be submitted to Brooke. After it
has been issued Brooke may make a
declaration concerning the manner in
which he will proceed. He is deter
mined not to be tritied with. He has
the rolls of privates and n~on-commis-
stoned officers who are willing to ac-
cept $75 each, and this amount will be
offered on the conditions previously
laid down. Forcible disarmament of
the Cuban troops will be the ultimate
procedure provided the events of the
next two or three weeks show such ac-
ton is necessary,

institution, the invento OF the aerio-
dome, who was given s25.O00 by the board
of ordnance TO experiment with his flying
Machine for war purposes. made his first
test at Quantico. Va. Thursday. Pro-
lessor Langley with the amount of money
placed at his disposal built a new and
larger machine than that with which he
experimental two years ago. The ma
chine was launched from the top of a
houseboat anchored in a broad sweep Of
the Potomac, about thrce-Quarters of a
mile from the island owned by the Guam
tico Rod. and Gun club. The result was
not SO successful as We're Professor Lang
ley's former experiments with the small.
err machine. The machine scared aloft
to a height of 500 feet. but descended
after a horizontal flight Of 500 feet. His
former machine. which was propelled by
u sinal steam engine. flew three-quarters
of a mile ana only descended when the
steam was exhausted. 1t was understood
that Professor Langley was to overcome
the limited owe capacity of the former
Machine by the use OF a condensing en-
CINE which could repeatedly utilize the
condensed steam from the boiler.

IF Fred does this said this man,
no power in creation can keep Fog

several years to come. T.. II. Funston
has always been strong among the peo-
pie of the Second district, whom he
represented for SO many years. The

after several years struggle, they
finally downcd him. But he is strong
today, and if his son says the word
'Foghorn' Funston will get the con
gressional nomination the next time
almost by acclamation.'
