the Texas and Pacific from Tex

formed that the foreign minis

an agreement which was submit
ted to the home offices. Sec.
Hay today cabled Mr.. Conger
authorization to sign the agree

dcrstanding at this time. How
ever. it is known that in the Two
important issues that were still
open, namely, those relating to
punishment and indemnity, the
views of the UDited States gov

punishments they are to be the
severest that can be inflicted by
the Chinese government.
AS to indemnity, the Chinese
government is to formally admit
it's liability and then the matter
is to be left for future negotia-

NEW YORK RACE RIOTS.

New York, Dec. 6.-An at
tempt to renew the race rioting
of last August was made to night,
when a crowd of white persons
tried to incite one another to
lynch a negro at Thirty-Fifth
street and Seventh avenue. The
negro was William Compton and
he shot William II. Case and Cor
nelius Rooney, both white. A
large crowd tried to catch the
negro to lynch or kill him, but
the police arrested and surroun-
ded him and escorted him to the
station. The negro fred on the
crowd as he was pursued, but he
hit no one. The injured men
were shot in the left arm, but
were not dangerously hurt.

Hunting Party Kissing.

A special from Muskogee to the
Oklahoma State Capital says:
Much uneasiness is felt here
over the protracted absence of A.
McAlrath and party who left here
on Nov. 5 for a hunting trip in

tion. The party consisted of Me-
Alrath and wife of this place, Miss
Livingston of Missouri and Mr..

PROPOSITION FOR RoERs.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-The London
correspondent of the Leipsiger
Tageblaat has received from a
highly placed parsonage in Eng
land the following.
"If the Beers should now sur
render England will permit them
to create a new republic on the
northern half of the Transvaal.
1t is in order to keep the possi-
bility of this open that England
has not yet officially announced
to the powers the annexation of
the Transvaal. One of the first
conditions, however, is that the
announcement of the surrender
must come from former Presi-
dent Kruger. There is every
prospect that he will soon be in
clined to this course. His visit
to France has taught him that all
the empty assurances of sympa-
thy will not result in the slight
est practical help. Germany
will make further contribution
to the teaching of Kruger, and it
will be to her alone that the
Beers will owe thanks if England
makes them concessions"
This somewhat romantic state
ment acquires importance by the
fact that the semi-official Post
reproduces it, and adds that it
does not sound improbable, and
that the English have every in
terest to erect a strong bulwark
against the warlike tribes in
Central Africa, in order to as
sure their possession of the terri
tory they have just conquered.

New York, Dec. 6. 6.-Conslder-
able interest is, manifested
among officers of roads operating
west from Chicago over the re-
ported coming immigration of
600 Boer families. Agents Of
the Western systems have been
instructed to watch for the arri-
val of the Afrikanders in New
York and funish them with free
transportation to whatever
points west of the Mississippi
they desire to reach. Repres-
entatives of the Atchison, Burl.
ington, Milwaukee and st. Paul,
North western, Rock Island,
Northern Pacific and Great
Northern lines are particularly
active in preparing for the COM
ing immigration from South
Africa. The Atchison company
owns considerable land in New
Mexico and Arizona especially
adapted to the Beers line of
work. In speaking of the pros
pective immigrants General
Solicitor Kenna of this road said
"The Santa Fe company would
gladly aid in the work of coloni-
zation and would heartily well
come the thrifty and courageous
Beers anywhere on the lines of
its system. This is the sort of
expansion we heartily favor.
The arid west is yet to be con-
Quered. Are not these people
fitted by experience and aided
by irrigation the natural con-
querers of the veldt regioni
We have taken steps to see that
the best there IS in that and all
other regions on our line is offer
ed to them
Rock Island officials said that
every inducement would be made
to get the Beers to settle along
the company's lines in the
Southwest. Officers of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul have author
lied their representatives in
New York to offer free transpor-
tation to the Beers who may wish
to settle along the line of this
system in the West and North
west. Though the st. Paul CON-
pany owns little or no land, there
is plenty of available Govern
ment land in districts contiguous
to it's road.
The immigrants are not due
here for several weeks yet and
there is still plenty of time for
the Texas roads to jump in with
free'transportion, sandwiches and
beer, which ought to fetch them.

Our Delegation In Congress.

When Congress met at noon last
Monday, Dec. 8, Senators Perkins and
Bard were each recipients of large
punches of cut flowers, while the five
members of the California delegation
in the House who had arrived, as they
sat at their desks, were almost hidden
behind huge bouquets. Representa-
tives Barham and Waters had not
yet reached the capital, but we're ex-
pected before the close of the week.
Messrs. Loud, Metcalf, Kahn, Need
ham and Woods were present.
At the conclusion of the roll call
Representative Woods, the mem Der
from the Second District, was escorted
before the bar to take the oath by
Congressman Loud, the senior member
of the delegation. Mr.. Woods desires
to obtain important legislation at the
hands of the River and Harbor Com
mittee, and he also hopes to obtain the
passage of resolution to save the 'sBig
Trees" This resolution passed the
last Congress, but it was so worded
that the Secretary of the Interior
found it impossible to carry its pro-
visions into effect. The amended reso-
luton, covering the weak points of the
former measure, will be introduced at
an early day and passed through the
House by the California delegation,
and Senator Perkins will use his best
endeavors to get it through the Senate.
Representative Metcalf says that he
has at least three projects which will
occupy his attention during the coming
session.
In reference to the matter, he said
'T desire to secure first, an increased
appropriation for the improvement OF
Oakland harbor. 1 purpose to secure
good sum if possible. Another mat
ter purpose to look into is why the
contracts are not let for the excavating
of the tidal canal An abundance of
money has been appropriated, but for
some reason unknown to me the. con-
tracts have not been let. The progress,
or rather lack of progress, upon the
Oakland public buildings is far from
satisfactory, and intend to call upon
the Supervising Architect at once to
See If the work on this structure cannot
be hastened."
Representative Needham is preparing
bill which he will introduce providing
an appropriation of $3.50, 900 for the
erection of public building at Fresno.

ore being richer and the vein wider
than above. The length of the shoot
is not yet accurately known. A raise
has been started from the 1000 level to
meet a winze which is being sunk from
the 900 level. This will furnish venti-

Jail Breakers.

Last Monday night Constable Gray of
Sutter Greek, arrested three strangers
who had by their actions aroused the
suspicion of several citizens. The men
were locked up in the town Jail, a
wooden structure heretofore considered
secure enough for ordinary prisoners.
The next morning, however, told a
different story. The Jail had apparent
ly encountered the tail end of a Kansas
cyclone which had not only ripped one
side OF it to pieces but demolished the
contents, including bedstead and other
furniture. The prisoners had also
been blown away. At all events they
we're no where to be found. 1t is be-
lieved that the three prisoners had a
confederate outside who aided them
with a crowbar to make good their
escape.
