The Peace Jubilee Guarantee Fund al
ready exceeds s2S.O00, which is generous
sum considering the comparatively short
time in which il has been raised. 1t Is not,
however. adequate to the occasion. aaa
considering the scale on which prepara-
tions have been made it will not be sur
prising II there be balance on the wrong
side of the ledger when the festivities are
ever.
The Fund should be increased as
promptly as possible and should be made
sufficiently large to preclude the llkeii-
hood of a deficit The Jubilee, while ma
tiopal in its character in the sense that It
occurs at the Capital. is dependent manly
on home support so far as money Is COLI

Beers May Raid Natal-President Kruger
Has Withdrawn the Five
Year Franchise.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-Amid the crowd
If conflicting dispatches from South
Africa regarding the Transvaal situa-
ton it is still impossible to say exactly
what has happened. 1t seems evident,
however, that President Kruge- has
withdrawn the five-year franchise
which was dependent on Great Britain s
acceptance of impossible conditions re-
garding suzerainty, and has made some
sort of temporizing counter suggestions
regarding conference.
The Johannesburg correspondent Of
The Standard said in part

been earnestly striving for peace that
the matter is now hopeless. The Beers

YOUNG MEN ACCUSED OF MURDER.

Under Arrest For the Death of a Conn

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Scarcely two hours
had elapsed after Walter f. Koeller
was killed in his room when two men,
both telegraph operators, were arrested
who Chief Ripley declares stabbed
koeller. The men under arrest are
Herman Hundhausen, % years old, son
of Colonel Robert Hundhausen, a we'll
to-do proprietor OF vineyard near
Hermann, Mo-, and Richard Honeck,
% years old, son of Henry Honeck, a.
wealthy wagonmaker and dealer in
farm implements of Hermann.
They admit their identity, but deny
any knowledge OF the death of Koeller.
A bloody knile was found in the satchel
of one. They claimed the blood came
from killing dog.
The two prisoners were identified by
the brother of the dead man and by Mrs.
+. A. Alexander, keeper of the boarding
house where Koeller lived, as the two
men who called the night of the murder
and went to his room. The only motive
for the murder that the brother of the

tenant G 1lonel Picquart's corr G, a,i
tude and uprightness in the Dreyfus N.
quiry while other officers sought to uu-
de.mine him by insinuations. Lieu
tenant Colonel henry, the witness as
serted, tried to induce him to attribute
to Picquart the communication of the
bOrdereau to The Matin.
The witness was asked if he had ever
investigated the Paulnier affair, which
was as follows:
Paulnier was the valet of Colonel
Schwartzkoppen, the German military
Ettache at Paris. and it was alleged
that he saw OH Schwartzkoppen' desk
documents signed by Dreyfus The gen.
eral staff had declared that an effort
would be made to get at the truth of
this story but Paulmier disappeared,
and therefore, although the general
staff could not prove the story, it could
not be disproved.
To the question regarding this case,
Commissary Tomps replied that he had
not investigated the affair, whereupon
Nj. Labori suggested that M. Hennion,
sub.chief of the political police, who is
now in Rennes experimenting the pre-
cautions for the safety Of witnesses,
may have been entrusted with the in
quiry into this case.
Colonel Jouaust called to Hennion,
who was present in the courtroom,
"come here and testify"
NJ. Hennion assembled the platform
and took the cath. He declared he did
investigate the case and actually found
Paulmier, who told him there was not
word of truth in the whole story.
He had never seen any paper bearing
the name Dreyfus. M. Labori imme-
diately called attention to the fact that
the general staff had suppressed M.
Hennion's report in favor of Dreyfus,
and only declared that the report had
been received representing Paulmier as
untraceab.e.
Commandant Cugnet and Captain
Junck then arose and insisted that only
the report that Paulmier could not be
traced had been received at the office Of
the general staff.
NJ. Hennion replied, reiterating that
he had forwarded a report to the gen.
eral staff giving Paulmier's emphatic
denial of the whole story.

cred, and when the prisoner appeared
there were cries of "kill him." "lgnch
him" from all sides. A rush was made

him the revolver and told him to shoot
O'Keefe, was also brought to court.

Ferrioli. He and his wife were re.
manded in order to allow the officers to
make an investigation.
