ADMITS STATE OF WAR ONLY.
Britain Makes No ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of Beers, Claim to lndependence e,

Britain Makes No Acknow ledgrnent
of Beers Claim to Independence. q
London, Nov. 29.-The Associated
Press learns that the action of Lord
Pauncefote and other British ambassa-
dors in notifying the powers that a
state Of war has existed since Oct. II
between Great Britain and the South
African republics has prompted inquir-
les by the various London embassies re-
garding the nature of the hostilities.
The Associated Press is officially in
formed that the notification has in no
wise changed the British views as to the
Boer status. But in spite of the ambig-
uous references in the queens speech
and other official documents at the com
mencement of the war regarding mill
tary operations" and other evasions of
the usual term war" it appears that
the United States has consistently rec
ogniZed the Beers as forming, practi-
cally, an independent state, considering
the claim of British suzerainty too
slight a thread to put them in the light
of rebels.
1t is tacitly admitted by the British
officials that the usual communications
relative to "a state OF war" were not
made earlier because it was not thought
that victory would be deferred long
enough to make such diplomatic step
necessary.
The government maintains that Civ
ing the Beers belligerent rights does not
constitute an acknowledgement of their
claim to independence, evidencing as
proof of this contention that both for
eign governments and the government
of the United States treated the con-
federates as belligerents.

ASTRONOMERS Discouraged.

Williams Bay, Wis, Nov. 29.-Al-
though the astronomers at the Yerkes
observatory have kept patient and
watchful vigil for five nights they have
failed to observe any Bielads and the
time for their presence is now past
After the failure to see the Leonids,
high hopes were set upon the Bielads,
but now the astronomers must wait un-
til Nov. Il, 1895, when the Bielads are
again expected. Evidently they have
missed this year, as they did in 1883.
Early Monday evening Professor Ell
lerman saw a meteor of the second mag
nitude, which was apparently a Bielad
but as no others We're seen coming from
the direction of the radian, this infer
ence could not be verified.

TO PUSH CANAL BILL.
The Measure to Be One of First Con.
sfdered by (opureas

sfdered by Congress.
Washington, Nov. 29.-One of the first
measures of Importance which will be
introduced in congress will be a Nicara-
qua canal bill. Friends of the waterway
intend to disregard entirely the com
mission appointed under provision of
the law enacted in the closing hours of
the last session
The bill will be identical with that in
troduced by Mr.. Hepburn in the last
congress. which appropriated Sll5.OO
900, available in sums of $40, 1000 600
year. to be secured by bond issue, and
provided that the canal should be con-
structed by the United States govern
ment instead of by private enterprise.
The Hepburn bill contained provis-
ion that the United States should exer-
else absolute sovereignty over the zone
of land which this government was em-
powered to secure by purchase or
treaty. This feature of Mr.. Hepburn's
bill was the subject of criticism for the
reason that in the constitutions of Mic
aragua and Costa Rica 1T is provided
that neither government may ALLEVIATE
territory.
Discussing the question of canal leg
islation last night, Representative Bar
ham. of California, said an effort would
be made to amend this feature Of the
Hepburn bill. 1t is his belief that
practically the same object can be ac.
complished by mere change of words
by which the United States will be
clothed with absolute control of the
canal and have the privilege of fortify-
ing the waterway in time of war, while
at the same time the constitutional in
hibition of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Will not be violated.

NEW PLAN TO SEAT GoEBEL.
Report of scheme to Use Both
Court md state Election Board.


Louisville. KY, Nov. 29-The state of
kentucky is still in a turmoil over the
election and the outcome is still uncer-
tain. A report is being circulated here
and in other towns in the state that
when the election commissioners, COM
posed Of Messrs. Pryor, Poyntz and
Ellis, meets Saturday, Ellis will be abb
sent and an adjournment will be taken
until Monday. when the Goebelites will
enjoin the board from counting the re-
turns from Jefferson, Knox and John
son counties, all of which give Taylor
a plurality. The board will then pro-
ceed to count the remaining counties.
which will give Goebel plurality. and
he will get certificate of election be-
fore the court of appeals has time to
take action. The commission will then
adjourn and claims will be made, even
if the appellate court decides that the
commission must count the votes of
those counties that they have no power
to go behind their action and therefore
cannot correct the error
A dispatch from Washington to
Goebel paper says that President Nc
Kinley has promised to send troops to
Kentucky should the governor ask for
them, and that there is a perfect under
standing between the federal authors
ties and the state officials to the effect
that everything possible will be done to
prevent the seating of Goebel.
There is also a report in circulation
that Goebel has a promise from Judge
Pryor, one of the election commissions
ers, to give the certificate of election to
Goebel under any circumstances. This
will cause bad feeling and troops may
be necessary to prevent bloodshed De-
