CHANGE OF VENUE.
Leaders of the Georgia Race Riots
VIII Not he Tried at Darien.

DARIEN, Ga, Sept. Ain the riot trials
to-day Judge Seabrook granted a change of
venue in the case of John Delegal. Ed Dele
gal and Miranda Delegal for the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Townsend. The case will be
tried in bingham county at a special term
of court called to assemble next Wednes-
day. The prisoners were transferred from
the Jail to the courthouse twice during the
day, each time under guard of a squad of
soldiers. In stating his reasons for grant
ing the application for change of venue
Judge Seabrook said the main thing which
influenced his decision was the presence of
the military, although he might name other
weighty reasons. Il do not attempt or in
tend to criticise the Governor Of the State
i'm sending troops here" he said, but am
opposed to trying any issue where human
life is involved in a courthouse the shadow
of which rests upon the military"
During the day two blocks of five Of the
rioters were tried, with the result that
seven were convicted and three acquitted.
The case against Henry Delegal for rape.
out of which grew the whole trouble, will
be taken up Wednesday. Colonel Lawton
has advised the Governor that the presence
of the troops Is no longer necessary, and
they will leave Wednesday. Upon leaving
they will escort the Delegals to Savannah
to insure safety.

THE 1RANsvAAL.s REPLY.
kruger's Method Of Splitting Nego-
tiations Not Satisfactory.

CAPE TOWN. Sept. 4.-The news received
from Pretoria to-day begins TO show the sit
uation in clearer light. 1t appears that
the Transvaal's reply which was handed to
the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria,
Mr.. Conyngham Greene, was only to Mr..
Chamberlain's proposal respecting a confer
ence at Cape Town, and that another reply
will be delivered tomorrow to Mr.. Cham
berlain's original proposal of a joint inquiry
into the franchise bill. This method of split
ting the negotiations by the Transvaai is
unfavorably commented upon here. The
Cape Argus officially denies that the gov
eminent of the South African Republic has
agreed to conference at Cape Town.
The Cape Argus also declares that the ex-
PLANTATION offered by the Transvaal- state at
torney, Mr.. SHUTS, of the arrests is unsat-
isfactory. and that the mystery is one that
calls for immediate calculation. Mr. SHUTS
expresses regret that such unfounded state
nents should have caused the departure OF
several prominent Rand gentlemen, and es-
pecially trusts that his assurance will be
accepted that they need not have the slight
est fear of any such step being taken
against them.
A dispatch from Pretoria says: I'm the
course of an interview to-day State Secre-
tary Reitz said the Transvaal government
was waiting until Saturdays dispatch
reached the imperial authorities before
making it's contents public. Without, how
ever, entering into details, he could say that
in his judgment the proposals of the govern
ment offered Mr.. Chamberlain an oppor-
tunity of coming to settlement regarding
the franchise and other outstanding ques-
tons. He could also say that the Transvaal
would take part in the suggested confer
ence and was now awaiting the imperial
governments reply in order to arrange the
details as to al place of meeting The reply
of the Transvaal increases the term of
years residence necessary in order to obtain
the franchise"

FOR INCITING TO TREASON.
Fresh Charge Preferred Against the
Transvaal Leaders Editor.

PRETORIA, Sept. AIN connection with
the arrest of Mr.. Pakeman, editor of the
Transvaal Leader. and the threatened ar
rest of other outlanders, the states attorney
denies that instructions were ever issued at
Pretoria for these arrests or that any polit-
ical arrests were contemplated, but that
orders were issued by a subordinate at
johannesburg without consulting the states
attorney. This announcement tends 10 quiet
the public mind and TO arrest the exodus.
When Mr.. Pakeman was arraigned at the
bar of the First Criminal Landrost to-day
the public prosecutor announced that on the
instructions of the Transvaal states attor-
ney, Mr.. SHUTS, he would withdraw the
charge OF high treason against the prisoner
and enter a fresh charge OF contravening
the press laws by melting to high treason.
The offensc Is practically the same. but IL
is one for which defendant may be re-
leased on bail
Mr.. Burger, solicitor for Mr.. Pakeman,
said he understood the original charge had
been withdrawn owing to the inability OF
the public prosecutor to convict. and he

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4-The campaign
for comruander-in-chief is waxing warm. 1t
is one of the fiercest contests that the G. A.
r. has been engaged in for long time.
Tonight there are three candidates in the
field, acting Commander-in-chief w. C.
johnson of Cincinnati, Comrade Leo Rassi-
cur of ST. Louis and Colonel Albert d.
Shaw Of WATERFOWL, n. Y. The friends of
each of the candidates claim that their
favorite is already a winner. A careful
canvass among the different departments,
however, indicates that Colonel Shaw to-
night has a little the better of the contest.
That gentleman, in an interview tonight,
said that he was absolutely sure of victory,
and said that the fight was all over. Neither
Colonel Johnson nor Comrade Rassicur
would speak directly about the contest, but
their lieutenants express the greatest con-
fdence in the outcome of the struggle.
Each of the candidates has a headquarters
in full operation and are distributing badges
and hanging out banners to help along their
campaigns The election to the minor Of
fies of the Grand Army is temporarily lost

paid to those offices until a commandments

Charge. Against q Treasurer.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 4-The State
Board of Control to-day submitted sensa-
'tional report to Governor Scofield on its in
spection of the Wisconsin Veterans Home
at Waupaca. 1t charges that Treasurer r.
N Roberts, resident trustee of the home,
refused to allow an examination of his
books; that with the exception of s66.73 no
interest has been paid on a large contin-
gent fund kept in Roberts's bank, the Ma
tional Bank of Waupaca, and that two
trustees of the home wrote part of the in
surance on the buildings. The Governor
will probably take legal action to remedy
the matter and force reparation. The home
is under the management of the Wisconsin

4 WISE MINISTER.

The Chinese Minister in Washington
has been giving some good talk on
the Far East questions. to the mem
bers of the press.
He is a wise man, when he says:
Every locality has its character and
of course the nature of the Filipino
is widely divergent from that OF the
American Laws must be passed by
the American Congress to apply TO the
Filipinos exclusively; laws which are
suitable and applicable even to shade
to the natives They must gather the
natives. study their habits and dis
position, and then frame laws to con-
form to the populace."
This advice differs from that of the
Professional Patriots in America who
urge that the Flag be raised up over
all the Philippines, and, that laws be
passed which are eminently suitable
| for the people of Connecticut or Min
nesota, and then. if the Filipinos do
not obey them, shoot them on the
| spot.
If the President is left to carry out
his own convictions on the subject he
will do just what the Chinese Minis
the proposition that nation can be
born again in the twinkling of an
eye or because the Flag is put over 1t.
He will recognize racial habits and
instincts He will permit the Filipinos
to do many and absurd things, be-
cause it is their habit to do them.
He will gradually educate those people
up TO better forms of living and of
government.
| The danger is that the President will
lbe hampered and controlled by the
popular opinion acting through Con-
gress. That opinion is that what is
good enough for the Americans is good
enough for the Filipinos, and if the
Filipinos do not understand the laws
(which are imposed upon them, and can
mot understand the meaning OF the
| Constitution, then prick them with
|bayonets, and tell them to keep quiet

it's spiritual force, but because it may
make the nation prosperous in material
things.
Mr.. Ransome, also, states that the
spectacle Of conflicting religious sects,
established in Japan by the Christian
churches, is bewildering TO the Japa-
nese. AS the Japanese have no pre-
JUDGES in the matter. and no Inherited
tendencies on the subject, they are ut
terly confused by the situation. As
one of them said The fact that the
Roman Catholic church has the larg-
est number of members among the
Christian churches is almost a conclu-
sive argument that it is nearer the
truth than any other sect
Altogether, Japan presents one Of the
most remarkable object lessons in the
evolution OF nation that the world
has known.

THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.

The DISPUTE between Great Britain
and the Beers is merely another
phase of the one great impending
question of modern times, what are
the political rights Of man? The Beers
have rights SO have the Uitlanders
The Beers, although in the minority,
claim the right to rule. The Uitlanders
also claim the right to share in the
government of themselves. The crlu-
cal situation is created by the growth
of the community. There is no tribu-
nal to which the dispute can be re-
= ferred. Unless the disputants agree,
the sword must decide IL, as 1t mas
decided nearly all of the international
and domestic disputes, since the world
began. Those who believe that the
first occupation confers absolute rights,
will side with the Beers. Those who
believe that intelligent men everywhere
are entitled to share in making Of the
laws which govern themselves will side
with the Uitlanders, behind whom
stands the British power.
If there is TO be war between the
disputants, it will be q short and de-
cisive one The British forces will have
all the advantage of experience in such
wars, and besides, have unlimited re-
sources.
The Uitlanders, although apparently
without arms, will, the moment they
have an even chance against the
Beers, rise in rebellion, and assist the
British. With the British army in
front of them, and an abundance OF
the best fighting stuff in the world in
instruction behind them, the Beers
will be forced to the wall.
The situation calls for a compromiss
and the Beers may grant it before the
british forces have embarked or they
may stupidity wait until they receive
the first shock of battle.

ICED CHLOROFORM.

Iced chloroform has been used as an
anesthetic in Prof Shorburg's clinic
in the Julius hospital, at Wurzburg
Bavaria, in over 1900 cases witho~.
