The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com.
pany within the last month or two has
tried tho experiment OF oiling its road
crossings between Washington and Phila.
delphia as q meaps of settling the dust,
which otherwise generally arises in great
quantities to the inconvenience aud an
noyance of the pasengers
The theory OF using oil to keep down
dust has been successfully tested BY the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
Baltimore and Ohio made its first expert.
ment at Convention Crossing, II miles east
Of Baltimore, early in June. A number
of barrels Of roadbed ell, which Is thick
and black, and madc expressly fer that
purpose, were purchased, each barrel con-
tanning about 90 gallons and costing 50.
Tho oil was put into " car similar to q

The experiment is said to have proved
SO successful that over 100 barrels Of tho

THE TRANSyAAL SITUATION.

Beers Are Threatening In Case ofWar
They VIII Murder Englishmen.
London, Aug. 18.-The Johannes
burg correspondent of The Morning
Post says: at is stated on all hands
are threatening that in the event OF
war they will murder all the English
men and outrage their women. All the
burghers in the Krugersdorp district
were warned yesterday to be ready to
take the field at moments notice."
The correspondent of The Daily Mail
says: Instead of replying to the pro-
posal of Mr.. Chamberlain to refer the
franchise controversy to Joint CON-,
mission Of inquiry. the Transvaal gov
ernment will intimate its willingness
to grant five year simple franchise,
retrospective and unclogged by re-
strictions, and that the representation
of the gold fields will be extended to
one-fourth of the Volksraad. thus ex-
ceeding the fifth demand by Sir Alfred
Miner and rendering an inquiry into
the present franchise law unnecessary.
Nothing will be demanded In return
for these concessions, but a suggestion
will be made that the imperial govern
ment should grant something recipro-
cal This apparent surrender must.
however, be received with caution. Un-
less the new laws are properly secured
by effectual guarantees, they may only
be intended to grant the shadow of re-
forms with the object Of gaining time
and placing Great Britain at disad-
vantage,

White and II few of the small fry were the
only Democratic lenders who had the
courage to 90 outside OF the political
broakwater yesterday and run tho risk of
