BERLIN, JAN 29.-An official agency has
communicated the following to the press:
"In spite of official statements that DR..
Leyds (the diplomatic representative of
tue rransvaaD is here by official invitation
his visit is entirely by his own initiative,
and though he has received ordinary
courtesy his presence is without political
significance"
To the correspondent OF the Associated
Press DR.. Leyds made the following state
ment:
.I know nothing about the reported mis-
sions of either Mr.. Macrum or Mr.. Webster
Davis. Nor, to the best of my knowledge,
is either the bearer of message of peace.
There are no movements under way on our
part to induce President Mckinley to inter-
vene between Great Britain and the
Transvaal. AS / do not at present have
direct communication with Pretoria l do
not know what Mr.. Montague White S
mission is, except to establish diplomatic
relations with the United States. All this
talk about peace is sadly premature Great
Britain surely will not succumb now. Mel
ther will we. While we are talking here
II NAV be that a decisive battle is being
fought there, for 1 presume Lord Roberts
has withdrawn the troops around Lady
smith and is massing them for for
midable coup"
DIR. Leyds repeated his former declara-
ton that the Beers, when concluding
peace, would want back part at least OF
tue territories which England ''stole from
the Beers" He rather expects also that
a harbor south Of Mozambique will go to
the Transvaal ''For our legitimate exten-
sion," he added, 1--WE need free access to
the sea-" He asserted emphatically that
one condition of peace would be the recog-
milton of the absolute independence of the
Transvaal.
Berlin is certainly very much excited over
him. He Is overwhelmed with invitations

the Transvaal flag is flying, are besiegeC
day and night by crowds, including con

fine ladies, gentlemen of the court an6
army officers who wish to congratulate
him on the Boer successes or to offer theil
services.
The Tageblatt to-day says that DR.. Leyd.
denies that he met Mr.. Charles z. Macrum

MAJ aONNE TALKS.
Wants Ireland to Strike I'm England's
Hour Of Adversity.


NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Miss Maud
Come, the Irish Joan of Arc, ar
rived to-day on the French line steamer
La Normandie from Havre. Miss Come
could say but little about her future move.
.nents in this country beyond the fact that
she would stay a month and then hurry
back to ireland, as her time was fully en-
gagged there. She will address several
meetings in the interest of the Beers.
Upon the arrival of La Normandie at the
pier Miss Come was escorted to the Fifth
avenue Hotel. '"The object of my visit
here" said Miss Come, sis to arouse senti-
ment in favor of the Beers. 1 have been in
France, Germany and Holland, and there
have heard expressions of surprise that
America was not foremost in championing
the Beers. They are struggling 1or liberty,
they are fighting as you did for independ-
ence. believe the sentiment here In favor
of the Beers is growing and shall do all
in my power to fan the flame.
Another reason that 1 am here is to ce-
ment the unity of sentiment between the
Irish in America and the Irish in Ireland.
That sentiment is so strong now in Dublin
that they do not dare to march the troops
down the main streets for fear Of having
them Missed and assaulted. The present
time is the best that Ireland has ever had
to strike a blow for freedom. In ireland to-
day there are only 5000 soldiers where for
merly there were 10000. One reason that
Ireland is not in good position to strike a
blow is that she has strictly followed Par
nelrs teaching that liberty could be Sc
cured by parliamentary motions. 1t was
said that we could have freedom by asking
and holding out our hands. God knows
that our hands have been held out long
enough. Now We see that we must go back
to the first idea: freedom must come by
force The spirit in Ireland to-day is the
same as in 1861"
In speaking of striking blow at England
Miss Come admitted that the constabulary
must be reckoned in. She said. however
that England is In position where she
must grant demands. ITO nations as to
individuals" she continued, ",nere comes
an hour of destiny. and Ireland's hour has
come and she must not let it slip. One
work of the Irish party is to stop enlist
ment. Ten years ago there were 5000
Irish In the English army and there are
now not $500. At present recruiting there
is at standstiil.''
To illustrate the straits TO which the
English government has been reduced fol

of the War Office officials are supposed to
embrace somewhere in the neighborhood
OF fifty thousand more men. AS the indica-
ton Is that candidates will be rather

exhibit the new system of street light
ing with series alternating enclosed arc
lamps. The lamps appear to be very
efficient. The light is absolutely steady
and without flicker as the arc is pro
tected from the wind and weather by
an enclosing globe. This globe serves
also to diffuse and distribute the light
along the street.
"These lamps are of the same type
as those which have been in service
on Dock street for number of months
but are more powerful The Dick

but these later lamps are of the regular
type for street lighting. The new en-
closed arc lamps does not give the
sharp contrast of the old lamp, does
not flicker and so lights more ef-
fectiyely the space midway between

a light before his own house and not
insist on its being placed in front of

PHOENIX CITY TROUBLED
Chief of Police Receives More Anony-
 nous Letters

Columbus, Ga, March 22.-(Speclal )-Phe- nix City, Ala, is considerably excited to- night over continued trouble Chief of Po- lice Campbell is having with the negroes. This officer has been vigorous in his prose cution of the negroes, and the other day he received a threatening note from some un- known negro warning him to desist.
 This, morning Campbell came across young negro named Cary Williams, whom he thought had written the note, and had also made insulting remarks about him. The negro confessed the latter accusation, and Campbell clubbed him, gave him good thrashing and then made him leave the town. Later in the day he received second anonymous note, couched in most obscene and insulting manner. This letter contained a threat against Mr. Campbell, and the white people of Phenix City. The letter was sent to the sheriff of Lee county.
 It is thought that a gang of young ne- groes are responsible for the anonymous missves. Realizing the strained situation, q number of colored citizens have called, through the local papers, mass meeting for tomorrow night, at which to discuss the situation, and to probably disavow the let ters.
 Representatives of the press the officers of PheniX City and white people generahy are invited to be present. In their call the negroes say the meeting is to preserve race harmony
