BOERS GRAB GOLD
Said to Have Seized Several Millions
of British Bullion En- Route
to Cape Town.
LIBERAL BLAMES ENGLAND
President Kruger Says the Lord Will Save
the Beers Again from British Bull
let's As He Did in the Jane
son Raid.

LONDON, october 4.-Ihe most SenSa-
tional news from South Africa this
morning Is a reiteration of yesterday S
report of the acquisition by the Trans
vaal authorities of E500,000 of gold
which was on the way to Cape Town
from Johannesburg. The confirmation
of the story comes from two sources.
The Cape Argus asserts that the Beers
made the seizure at Vereenigeng the
amount being weeks shipment of
gold on the way from the Rand to Cape
Town. The report is also confirmed by
a cablegram received to-day by min
ing company of London from it's repre-
sentative, which is to the effect that the
train upon which he was travelling from
up and looted by Beers.
There is nothing very tangible in to-
days war news, but the situation re-
mains as strained as ever, unless hope
may be derived from the apparent fact
that the forces on the frontier are re-
garded by both sides as wholly defen-
sive for the present
The stock exchange was influenced
during the opening hours to-day by
vague rumors that Queen Victoria had
cabled President Kruger and President
Steyn, holding out the olive branch, and
by report that the Beers have been de-
feated in a small engagement. Both
stories are discredited.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
distinguished Liberal statesman, men,
'ber of parliament for West Monmouth
shire, has another slashing attack in to-
days papers upon the policy of the
secretary of state for the colonies Jo-
seph Chamberlain. He reiterates the
original statement that Chamberlain's
assertion that the Transvaal refused re-
dress of grievances to Outlanders Is the
reverse of the case, and he insists that
Great Britain is responsible for "slam-
ming the door in the face of President
Kruger just when arrangements were
approaching settlement"
Pretoria, October "A more extended
account Of the speech of President Kru-
ger at adjournment of the volksraad
yesterday Is not obtainable. According
to trustworthy reports he said: every
thing points to war because the spirit
of falsehood has overtaken other coun-
ts.ies. and because the people of the
Transvaal wish to govern themselves.
Although thousands may come to at
tack us, we have nothing to fear, for

decide. Bullets came by thousands at
the time of the Jameson raid, but the
burghers were untouched. Over 100 were
killed on the other side, showing that
the Lord directed our bullets. The Lord
rules the world"
One of two non-official members Of
the executive council said he hoped
when the volksraad reassembled they
would be without convention, and be a
free people. In the course Of speech
he exclaimed: England has refused
everything even arbitration"
Paris, October A number of pa
pers say the Beers have sent an ultima
tum to England demanding the with
drawal of troops from the frontier with
in forty eight hours. The papers con-
gratulate President Kruger for coming
to this decision.

der the ruling given this morning the
original owners cannot regain their
property till after they shall have paid
in the taxes and costs against the same.
Others view it differently. They point
out that those taxes And costs have
been paid in, not by the original own
ers, but by the purchasers under those
tax sales, and as the taxes are paid the
state has no right to inquire who paid
the same. These purchasers, though
they are divested of all title to the
property, cannot recover from the state
and ought not to be able to recover
from the original owner, for original
owner never asked them to pay the
taxes. In the cases ruled on this morn
ing the pleadings showed that the ORR
ginal owners, suing to have the tax IT,
ties set aside, had rendered and offered
to pay into court the amount of taxes
and costs that had been paid by the
tax purchasers, but the chancellor did
not, in his opinion, intimate whether
or not that tender would have any ef-
feet in adjusting the rights Of the
parties.

HON. JAMES D. RICHARDSON.
Brief Sketch of the Brilliant Tennessean
Who is Now the Democratic Leader
of the House.

Hon. James D. Richardson, who, by
his nomination for speaker of the house
of representatives by the democrats,
becomes the minority leader of the
present congress, is brilliant Tennes-
sean, born and reared in the Volunteer
State.
Congressman Richardson was born
Ot Murfreesboro, Rutherford county,
March 10, 1S43, and is therefore sc
years of age. His father, DR.. John W.
Richardson, was for many years q
prominent factor in politics in Ruther
ford county as an old Whig leader.
His mother, who still lives at an ad-
yanced age, but of clear mind, resides
in Rutherford county. She is sister
of Gen. Starnes Of the confederate
army, who lived in Williamson county
of this state previous to the civil war.
While mere lad Jimmie" Richard
son, as he was known to his playmates,
was sent to the old Franklin college,
near Nashville. At the age Of 1s years
he entered the confederate army as q
private. He served in this capacity, af
ter which he was made adiutant of the
45th Tennessee Infantry, holding this
rank for three years. At the close OF
the close of the war young Richardson
read law, and in January, 1867, began
the practice Of his chosen profession al

Cling lawyer for time, but soon dis,

mands thing to be done. It is a man
date Of the law, the violation OF which
renders all things done or attempted to
be done under it absolutely void. 1t
appears in these two bills that at the
time of these transactions one OF the
complainants had ample personally in
this county upon which the officer
might have distraineds and that the
other, a resident, had tenants rent
ing her property, against whom the
process of a garnishment. might have
been effectual; that no distress warrant
or ,garnishment was resorted to, all OF
which. is admitted by the demurrer.
TAX GATHERER MUST GO EASY.

| tive law must be obeyed, irksome and
vexatious as it may be to, collecting Of

A INDUSTRIOUS INTERPRETATION,

Tt is argued that this whole contro-
yersy must turn upon the effect of the
act of 1897, chapter /, section II, which
provides that the deed of the clerk to
the purchaser of tax sale shall be an
assurance of perfect title to him, and
no such conveyance shall be inyalidat-
ed in any court except by proof that
the land was not liable to sale for taxes
or that the taxes for which the land was
sold had been paid before said sale.
This in its frame work, is an extraordi-
nary statute, and if interpreted care
lessly in its literal terms a monstrous
one. 1t makes the officer an autocrat
and the citizen an abject slave. The
court is of opinion that the proper con-
struction isnot that which careless
reading would suggest, but that the
clerks deed is prima facie good. for
there might be errors, irregularities
and blunders that rise to the dignity OF
official crime, that under literal con-
struction of such law would have to
be condoned,F and rob and ruin citi-
zen who had done the state no harm.
While the rules of the common law for
the construction Of statutes are con.
fessedly malleable and elastie,5 the
court is satisfied that "a morenatural
and reasonable construction may bs
given.to this statute, even in its litera,
terms, than the defendants connse
