DENIED BY B0ER OFFICIALS.
Allegation That Webster Davis Re-
ceiyed Sf25.otO.

The New York Journal Of today prints
the following telegrams relative TO the al
legged deal Of Webster Davis with the Boer
government:
AMSTERDAM, October sG.-Messrs.
Fischer and Vessels. the Boer ENJOYS, now
at The Hague, denied today the statement Of
Douglas Story. an English newspaper cor
respondent that the Beers gave Webster
Davis sl25.0oo on his visit to Pretoria to
advocate the Boer cause and assist III the
election Of William j. Bryan to the presi-
dency Of the United States.
BRUSSELS, October 1G-Van Roenscho-
ten, secretary Of the Transvaal legation,
says that the story of the bribng Of Web
ster Davis is absolute calumny lie
adds that Kruger saw very little of Davis,
and that the TranSvaal government has
purchased the Interference Of no one in the
world.
The Petit Bleu. commenting on Hanna's
threat to produce the evidence OF Davis
corruption, says this amounts TO British
Interference III American elections, inter
ference which on a former occasion caused
the American government to tender an
English minister his passports.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio. October 16.
Editor Of the journal:
| have just seen the London MaiIy Mail
story about Davis, Easton and myself. 1t
is a tissue Of hbelous falsehood, particular
~ regarding the alleged commercial trans
action and receipt Of honorarium from the
BOer government.
The maiiciousness is shown in speaking Of
Hollis and myself solely on account of our
sympathy with the righteous Boer cause.
/ know nothing Of Davis, as ] had left a
month before he arrived. | heard first of
his being in Africa on my arrival at Port
Said. Am satisfied the story about him is
a lie out of the same cloth.
C. Z. MACRUM
WASHINGTON October 16.-Editor of
the New York journal: The statement III
the London Daily Mail that Webster Davis
had something TO do with my going TO
South Africa to report the war there is
scarcely worthy of denial. He did not
know that / contemplated such a trip until
after | had made all my newspaper ar
rangements and engaged passage for Cape
Town. The report is simply characteristic
OF the English correspondents who
had rather humiliating task in South
Africa.
From the very start of the war they
nave been compelled to make the actual
operations secondary to editorial matter as
sailing the Beers character and that of
those who saw any virtue, public or pr
vate. in the South African republics ana
their citizens.
My personal relations with Webster I.ayis
closed before L started to South Africa
However, to the statement that he re-
ernment to champion their cause in this
country, L can say from my personal obser
Natlons while associated with him for two
years. that | do not believe his sympathies
In any cause could be purchased for any
sum- 1t Is scarcely probable that every
person who has had the temerity to say
anything in behalf of the Boer republics
had lis love of the British empire weaned
from him by fee from the Beers

RESULT OF REGISTRATION.

HiATTSNILLE, Md. October l6, 1900
The recent registration in both Hyatts-
vile and Bladensburg districts revealed the
fact that an equal number-5uU-was reg
istered IN each district. The last session
u the legislature passed an act providing
for division Of Bladensburg district which
was considered TO be too large. In 1875
Biadensburg district gave Mckinley a ma
JCrity Of ninety and Mudd for Congress
about sixty. Both sides are claiming both
districts.

REPUBLICANS CRY FRAUD
DELAWARE DEMOCRATS CHARGED
WITH PADDING ROLLS.
Preparing to Bring I'm Voters From
baltimore and Other Mary
land Points.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

WILMINGTON, Del, October 16, 1900.
An interesting feature in the campaign
Is the alleged discovery of a wholesale plot
to pad the registration lists with men from
outside the state on next Saturday. 1t
seems that the republicans claim to have
information tending to show that their OPP
ponents have engaged train loads of men
to come from Baltimore and other points
in Maryland, well from Philadelphia
and New York, in order to swell the dem
ocradc poll throughout the state. 1t is
said that this scheme was originally in
tended for Wilmington alone, but that
when it was discovered by the leaders that
the democratic registration was SO COM
paratively meager 1T was concluded to ex-
tend it throughout the county towns
which most needed democratic votes
1t is said that the republican campaign
committee has employed small army of
detectives and watchers to prevent the sue
cess of this alleged plot and threatens with
instant arrest any registration officer who
knowingly registers any person who is not
entitled to exercise the franchise. That
condign punishment awaits those persons
who attempt to register illegally is fore
gone conclusion. The police board of VIII
mington is republican
However, the democrats deny that such
things exist. They are indignant that such
charges should be made against the party
of which that eminent statesman, the late
Thomas K. Bayard, who was the soul of
honor, was the head. However well based
or baseless these rumors may be will be
shown by the police records later.
The earnest work of the campaign IS
well in evidence in both camps. Senator
j. c. S. blackburn Of Kentucky will be
the principal speaker at the democratic
mass meeting this evening. In a talk
had with Mr.. Blackburn yesterday he was
most emphatic in his expressions as to the
success of the democratic ticket. His en-
phasis, however, reminds one Of Henry
Wattersons : old-time predictions.
The republicans lack push in Wilmington.
They hope 10 stir things soon. They think
they have the best Of It and can afford to
allow their opponents to take the initiative.
True, they may; but Delaware is so close
that 2O votes may determine its three votes
in the electoral college.

VEGETABLE NOVELTIES,
Several in New Zealand That Would
benefit other Countries

According 10 United States Consul Dill
insham at Auckland, there are several veg
etable novelties in New Zealand. which
might be introduced into other countries
with benefit to the people, especially where
droughts are not infrequent
\ certain cabbage. called Yates aphis-
proof cabbage an Australian-raised vari-
ety. he says gave, Notwithstanding the
intense drought Of last summer, good hearts
and remained almost entirely free from
aphis. while every other variety OF cabba ge
was riddled by the pest. \ better oppor-
tunity could not have occurred for testing
its hardness. After the heart is cut il
throws out number Of small hearts and
loose leaves, all of which are tender and
Of a good flavor; and. as they rapidly re-
produce themselves after cutting, a bed Of
these cabbages will keep a house in vege-
tables all through the summer and autumn.
A cabbage tnat would really resist aphis
and stand the hot dry summers has long
been desideratum in Australian gardens
and IL Is thought that this variety will
meet the want.
Another vegetable worthy Of attention is
an African cucumber a plant of the GU
cumber family from Rhodesia, South Af-
rica. The fruit is six inches long, of IA
bright orange color. and covered with
spineS. Even for ornamental purposes the
plant is well worth growing: but it may be
also used as a fruit, the flesh being soft
and juicy, and in appearance much like
passion fruit. Eaten with sugar the flavor
is very similar TO that of a rock melon.
Another novelty is called the 'mongri'
edible podded radish. 1t is a new vege-
table from Java, and is easily grown as
the ordinary radish. producing enormous
crops of long pods. which are crisp and
tender. with a delicious flavor. Persons
who cannot eat the common radish be-
cause of its indigestible qualities should
hail this new variety with pleasure. 1t
makes an excellent salad; ii is also deli
cious when boiled having q delicate as
paragus flavor"
