In Connection with the Settlements

factOriIy.

WASHINGTON, December 31.-The
announcement that the extension of
the foreign concessions at Shanghai,
China, has been finally approved
brings to close a diplomatic contro-
versy between Great Britain, the
United States and France, which has
at times become rather acute, France
taking the position at one stage of the
negotiations that the American CO.
operation with Great Britain in OPP
posing the French plan Of extension
was an unfriendly act toward France.
This and the other differences have
been happily adjusted, according to
announcements from China, which are
borne out by the information of OH
Gals here.
The controversy assumed an inter-
national scope when the three colon

American-sought to extend their lin

of the old native city and lie along the
river Whang Poo, near the point where
it joins the Iangtse-Kiang. They are
chiefly important because Shanghai
is the foremost point of entry for for
eign trade in the Chinese empire. The
French settlement is nearest the city.

the British settlement and then the

Watching the Dutch.

CAPE TOWN, THURSDAY, December
2S.-The colonial authorizes are using
every precaution to prevent an insur-
rectlon on the part Of the disloyal
Dutch in Cape Colony and to suppress
a rising if one should occur. Every
where the British coIonists are being
organized into home guards, drilled,
armed and ready to act in their re-
spectlYe localities, should armed Dutch
colonials gather.
The theory is that the British home
staying coionials should be fully pre-
pared TO cope with the Dutch colonlals
without the aid of regulars
Inc alertness OF the British makes
united action on the part OF pro-Boer
residents difficult. Unable to act openly
they slip away singly, or in small
groups. to join the enenlys forces. The
authorities have been informed Of many
centres of agitation, which 1t is con-
sldered undesirable to partlcularize, but
there IS nothing like concerted action
apparent over wide districts.

The WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Press Censorship Makes Active Oper
ations a Sealed Book.

ations a Sealed Book.
There is practically no fresh news
from South Africa since the reports
published last Saturday. The press
censorship is the strictest on record,
made possible by the fact that the
British have complete control Of the
cables and will allow practically moth
ing TO be sent out over them.
So for as is known, there is no
change in the situation at Kimberly,
Mafeking, Modder river or around
Ladysmitb. 1t is believed that the
Beers are concentrating their forces
for the reduction of Ladysmith, and
that General Butler, having realized
the hopelessness of a frontal attack
against the forces opposing him on The
Tugela, is trying 10 work around.
The Beers, however, have extended
their lines for many miles, and the
difficulties of flank movements by the
British haye been greatly increased.
President Kruger is reported to
have issued proclamation on January
s, calling upon his countrymen TO put
forth renewed efforts in behalf of their
cause.
There is reason to expect news of de-
cisive operations within the next few
days, and the probability is that the
most important reports will come from
Ladysmith.

The Jury Boxes.
The county board of commissioners
was engaged yesterday in preparing

Tax Collections.
Tax collections are up about as close

came as an annoyance rather than a
convenience.

on Charleston, Cincinnati aud Chicago
railroad bonds for the respective town
ships as follows: Catawba, 81 200
Ebenezer, 81 zoos; York, $3.50.
The Advance In Prices.
1t would require considerable labor
to prepare statistical report showing
lust how the general advance in prices
has affected this section but the re-
suit would not be altogether bad. The
reporter had a talk on Monday with
well-known gentleman from the lower
part of the county, and this subject
was partially nvassed. The gentle
man first spoke of the crop failures IN
his section, as a matter, of course; but
as an offset to this he mentioned the
fact that he and others who last year
sold lumber in Chester at 70 cents
hundred feet, are now getting S1.OO a
hundred feet. The lumber, the chick
ems and eggs, and the cordwood that
have been sold, he says, have helped
out the situation wonderfully.
Still at Large.
The thief who stole horse and
buggy from Messrs. Glenn & Allison
some weeks ago is still at large, not
withstanding the persistent efforts that
are being made for his capture. 1t de-
velops that after he was seen near
Shelby, he had big time around Gro
yer, N. c., using the turnout for sport
ing purposes. The citizens consider
ed the idea of arresting him for cruelty
to the horse; but for some reason did
not act. 1t was not until a day or two
afterward that the fellows identity
became known through a paragraph
in THE ENQUIRER. By that time he
had disappeared. Messrs. Glenn 4
Allison have reason to believe that the
fellow is probably to be found in some
of the neighboring cotton mill towns,
and they are still hunting for him.
