Dom Paul.. Had Break.
From the Atlanta Journall

He has made it practically impossible for any
foreigner to become citizen of the Transvaal
Government though in doing so he has grossly
violated his compact with England.
But the despotc old Boer has not been able to
prevent Englishmen from coming into the Trans
vaal Acquiring property, and organizing business
enterprises there. Englishmen pay four-ffths of
the taxes which support Krugers government. and
constitute fully onehalf of its population. Still.
they are denied representation of any sort and arc
not permitted TO vote.
II is not strange that bitter feeling has arisen
between the Outlandrrs and the Beers, and that
the former are growing more restless under con-
tinued and increasing oppression.
Kruger ought to know that men of English
blood will rot long submit to his arbitrary exac-
tiors, and the policy of practical ou.iawry which
he rnforces against them.
His recent attempt to convince the world that
there was a British plot agninst him has proved
? complete fasco. but that he will provoke the
Outlandcrs to open resistance il he continues to
dominecr over them and to exclude them from all
voice in the government cannot be doubted.

The leading plague experts in Hongkon

The leading plague experts in Hongkong
are pessimistic over the prospects Of the
year in Southern Europe, in view of the
outbreak of the pestilence in epidemic form
in Egypt. They assert that from Alex
andria and Cairo it can easily find its way
to Constantinople. and spread thence along
the Mediterranean. One of the recognized
authorities, DIR. LAWSON says that the
plague is essentially a filth disease, and
spreads rapidly when the conditions are
favorable. Constantinopie. Genoa, Naples,
and Marseilles contain filth spots worse
than Chinatown. in Hongkong. where
hundreds of victims died daily in 1894.

Mckinley md HRnna.

The Ohio Republican convention this

Administration, but the probabilities are
that that endorsement will have sting to

is not all that the President could desire

Iukewarm or secretly unfriendiy is sent TO

Again, if the candidates on the State ti,ket
this year are anti-Hanna men. President
Mckinley will be wounded in the house OF
his friends.
1t is not certain that either Of these
things will happen. but it is very sure
that all attempt is making to constitute
the convention in way that Senator
Hanna does not admire. Ohio has very
singular politics. Nowhere else to the
square yard is there altogether so much
personalism and factionism. 1t has nearly
always been so. and the present time. with

have fifty-eight delegates, and three con-
tested delegations. In other counties, be-
sides these leading ones. contests have
arisen. Hence il is seen that the conven-
