THE POINTS At ISSUE.
This Constitutes the Quarrel Between the
English and the Beers.

First. Great Britain claims snZer.
ainty over the Transvaal under the
terms of the convention of 1881. The
Beers dispute the claim, invoking the
convention of 1884, in which the term
"suzerainty" does not appear.
Second. Great Britain demands IN
creased facilities for naturalization OF
Outlanlers. At present Ontlanders
desirous of naturalization must take
an oath renouncing allegiance to their
former government, and then, after II
years residence, provided they have
the affirmative vote of three-tourths OF
the burghers in their district, they be-
come citizens of the South African
Republic. The Beers at one point OF
the negotiations offered to reduce the
probationary term to five years, but
the latest advices are that they now
stick out for seven years.
Third. Great Britain demands for
the Ou.landers share in the election
of the president and increased repres-
entation for the gold fields. The Beers
say they are willing to concede these
points but under conditions which the
British claim are likely to make the
concessions illusory. The British gov
ernment wants to have this matter
thoroughly examined, so as 10 insure
the Outlanders getting the substance,
and not merely the shadow, of their
demands in this respect. Great Bri-
tain is willing that such an exa nina
ton should not serve as precedent
for interference in the internal affairs
of the Transvaal, which the Beers
argue would be the case.
The latest demands by Great Bri-
tain, promulgated by the secretry for
the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, 60 fur
ther than heretofore, and include the
teaching of the English language in
the Transvaal, disarmament of the
fort overlooking johannesburg and the
separation of the judiciary from the
vokraad and the executive.

proprietor of the New York Journal, re-
ports an interview he had with Dewey on
the Olympia, in the course Of which the
admiral, after saying that General Otis
was a man of "the strictest integrity )"
but that he "tred to do too much work
himself" remarked 81 think Otis made
another mistake in the censorship. SO
strict a censorship wasn't necessary.
Why, Otis had SO strict censorship as
to exclude any favorable mention of the
navy"-the admiral quietly smiled
eyes, taxed him with it, and he didn't
deny it. For the newspaper men the cen
sorship was absurdly strict. never had
any trouble with the newspaper men.
told them we had one common interest
that of not letting the enemy get injurious
information-and from that time there
never was single thing sent out of Ma
Mia that I could object to. AS far as my
experience goes, I have found American
newspaper men not only the most enter
prising; but the most accurate of any in
the world. 1t was not until / reached
Europe that was misquoted."
All the above sounds like sensible
talk from sensible man. Otis is un-
willing to take the American people
into his confidence, and Dewey, there
fore, has good reasons to think that he
is vain, foolish lightweight. The ad,
miral is also right in his estimate OF
the genuine professional newspaper
correspondent. Such of them as has
sufficient ability to secure positions on
reputable papers are generally gentle
men and may he relied upon as such.
But Notwithstanding all this, we do
not believe that Dewey said exactly
what Hearst said he said in that last
sentence. Reference is had to the fel-
low who, at Trieste, quoted the admir-
al as saying that the next war of this
country would be with Germany. AS
a matter of fact Dewey said at Trieste
just what he was reported to have said.
We have the authority of Joseph l..
Stickney, in McClure's magazine for
October. Stickney was beside Dewey
on the bridge of the Olympia during
the battle of Manila, and he was also
with the admiral when the unfortunate
affair occurred at Trieste. Dewey
thinks more of Stickney than he does
of any other correspondent, and Stick
ney has the highest opinion of Dewey.
The Trieste affair occurred in this
wise. An American doctor paid a
social visit to the admiral and the ad-
miral talked freely. He had no idea
that anything he said would be pub.
lished. Afterward the doctor sent a
full account of the matter to the New
York Herald, and it placed the admir-
al in a rather embarrassing position.
But we are sure that he has never at
tempted to get out of it by saying that
it was lie. We think that whatever
may have been said by the admiral on
this subject must have been perverted
by Mr.. Hearst, SO as to make it reflect
the more strongly against his rival
The Herald. Of course, the cores
pondent who took such sneaking ad-
vantage of Admiral Dewey under the
circumstances, is either a scoundrel or
is lacking in a proper conception OF
the ordinary proprieties. 1t was re-
ported at the time that when Dewey
was asked for confirmation OF the
correspondents report, he refused to
say either yea or nay. This we believe

to be true. We have known small
fry-very small fry-on more than one
occasion to try to lie out of an EN-
barrassing situation by claiming that
they had been misrepresented; but
that as great a man as Admiral Dewey
should stoop to such contemplate
thing is impossible.

duplicate of the taxable property of
York county with the taxes assessed
thereon, and on last Saturday, Treas
urer Neely, accepted the books and

The value of realty and personally

YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1899.

- The Orangeburg jury in the lynch
ing damage case knowingly, and will
fully refused to give verdict in ac-
cordance with the law and the evidence
after it had sworn so to do. Is there
no statue against perjury, and if so
why is it not enforced against this
jury?
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-10-04

Added 10 the realty ana personally
the above items swell the grand tota
of taxable property in the county to
s5,799,944.
The polls assessed by townships are
as follows: Bethel, 500; Bethesda
500; Broad River, SIG; Bullock's
Creek, 6O7 ; Catawba, l, ,4O4; Ebenezer,
6O3; Fort Mill, 715; Kings Mountain
6s1; York, S97.
Following are the total taxes 10 be
paid by each township: Bethel, s4,'
O5O61; Bethesda, s5,2O7; Broad Rv'
rr, $3,6O7.93; Bullock's Creek, S4,'
1906; Catawba, s29, ,6S6.O6; Ebene
zer, $6,O39.4O; Fort Mill, $6,19l.2l
Kings Mountain, $5,771.63; York
Sl5,364.45.
These amounts, together with the
polls, railroad, insurance, telegraph
ETC., make up the total hook of $91,'
429. 70, for which Treasurer Nicely gave
his receipt.
The total property returned for tax
alton last year was $5,702,51S. The
increase this year over last is therefore
s97, ,426.

- There was a wild panic on the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange last
Friday. The New York Exchange
was closed on account of the Dewey
reception. The people of the south
were thinking more Of the excited cot
ton situation than they were of Dewey,
and New Orleans being the next larg-
est exchange in the country was, for
the time, the most important. Liver
pool time is several hours ahead of
New Orleans time, and some sharp
scoundrels who have not yet been
identified, took advantage of the gen.
eral situation to make things pretty
lively. This they did by tapping the
telegraph wire over which the Liver
pool markets are usually quoted.
Shortly after the opening of the New
Orleans Exchange, there came quota
tion of slight advance in Liverpool
prices. This was quickly followed by
further advances in rapid succession,
until the rise equaled almost cent a
pound. Such a condition had never
existed before, and, of course, it crea-
ted the widest excitement. Thousands
of bales were bought and sold, and for
IA time the brokers acted more than
ever like lunatics. After while there
came a cable from Liverpool stating
that there was nothing the matter with
that market and asking the cause Of
the extraordinary rise in New Orleans.
This was the first inlimatiOn that there
might be something wrong. The bro
kers who had been acting like lunatics
turned the scene into regular bed
lam. President Parker rushed to his

Tuckahoe, n. Y, this afternoon.
With the victory went the title of
bantam champion of the world, al
though both contestants were actu-

The Englishman, although fore
ing the pace at the outset, was
really never in it and MeGoyern
simply battered his opponent into
partial insensibility. The Brook
lyn lads arms worked like piston

meted out to Palmer was swift and
terrible.
The battle did not last quite one
round. the time of fighting being
actually two minutes and 81 Sec

Palmer was lying helpless, though
half conscious, on the floor of the
ring. Through an unlocked for

lads were separated by the gong

would win in such short order.
1t was a case of hurricane fighter
pitted against clever boxer, and
the fighter won. McGovern is a
veritable fighting machine and he
went at his adversary with bulldog
determination and lightning rapid
ity. His arms were never at rest
for q moment and he beat down
Palmer's guard with his sledge-
hammer blows:
