IN pIuulng rarewen TO Lne Iuurrn runtin
gent of New Zealand troops leaving for
service in South Africa, the premier, Mr..
r. J. Soddon, emphasized the determine.
tion Of Australasia to uphold the imperial
prestige. The country, he said, had 100000
male adults. mostly drilled, prepared to
defend the colonies, and il an emergency
arose to send men enough to South
Africa to release the. imperial troops to
deal with any unfriendly power daring
to meddle with the settlement. Lord Sal
isbury's reply to the Boer presidents and
the friendly note of the president of the
United States and the announcement
that Great Britain would not assent to
the independence of the republics were
all indorsed by New Zealand, who, the
premier added, would maintain that posi-
tion nt auy cost.

to be Enlarged.
The Chancellor of Delaware is about
to have suitable place in Wilmington
to hold the Court of Chancery. Hereto
fore the Chancellor has had no court
room in New Castle county that he could
call Ills own. Some times he would
hold court in the regular county court
room and some times in the Levy Court
room; but if either or both OF these
bodies were in session the Chancellor
would be compelled to postpone court.
A movement is now on foot which
will probably be carried out, and which
will give the Chancellor place he can
call lis court room. AS you enter the
county court room ON the lett is the law
library. 1t has been suggested that the
partition between this room and the
county court room be removed and sew
eral feet of The court room be added to
the library. making it large enough for
the Chancellor 10 hold court. This sug'
gestion has been approved and there
seems little doubt but that it will be car

WITMINGTON DELAWARE, WEDNESDAY. MARCH II, 1900

kwo delegates from West Dover hundred,
Joseph Rash and Joshua Parker, ,colored,
will be rejected. Parker is one OF the
best known colored men Of the State and
has always been q prominent political
representative OF HIS race; he has also
been loyal adherent of ex-senator Hig-
gins. His rejection therefore is notice TO
the colored voters that they must not
send such men as Parker to State con-
ventions. The rejection of Parker is also
regarded as an example of du Points
method OF getting back at Higgins-is
saving that no Higgins men are wanted.
It is also said that Thomas Il.
Coldson, who defeated e. B.
Shurter, du Points private secretary,
will also be refused seat in the conven-
tion.
Browne For Chairman.
Chairman Brownies chances for re-
election are regarded as being the very
best. There will be fight against him.
He is not popular except with the office
holding delegates and their friends, and

Der. When a person takes from the
office or receives at his residence a let
ter which he afterwards as~certains
does not belong to him, it is his duty
TO return it to the postmaster. If he
does not he makes himself subject to
Il fine Of $500 or one years impriS0n-

as well as letters. The finding Of the
