THE PEACE PARTY IN ENGLAND.
WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO ACT-wAR
OFFICES PREDICAMENT.

London, Jan II, &. m.-Even rumors are no
longer telegraphed from Natal. The conclusion
deduced from this silence from the military eX-
perts generally is that no decisive blow has been
struck either way, as in such an event there
would be no necessity for silence.
The South African Cancellation Committee,

FIVE NEW BATTERIES ORDERED.
The War Office has issued orders for the for

the statement of military expert this morning

of the Banking Department and there followed
a long talk by the two officials over the affairs
of the State Trust Company Mr.. Kilburn made
a statement of the result of his examination
and that of General Avery D. Andrews of the
books of the trust company.
Subsequently Governor Roosevelt stated that
Mr. Kilburn had informed him that it was not
customary for the Banking Department to dis
close the confidential reports made to 1t about
the financial condition of trust companies or
hanks and therefore he (Mr. Kilburn) should
not make his public, that of General An
drews regarding the State Trust Company. The
Governor added that superintendent Kilburn
had assured him of the solvency of the State
Trust Company.
Mr. Kilburn's report was verbally impaired
Later Mr. Kilburn would submit a written re-
mort on the affairs of the trust company. Prob
ahlv Superintendent Kilburn Will then send the
Goyernor formally the report of General An
drews although ii is known that the Governor
already has copy Of it,

course the Legislature could obtain from Super
intendent Kilburn, IL it thought IT for the
nuhlic interest to do So a copy of his written
rrenort and also that of General Andrews. 1t
was stated to-day that ii was likely that Gov
ernor Roosevelt would have Attorney General
Davies examine into the evidence relating TO the
loans made by the trust company and especially
the action of the officers in loaning directors
of the trust company.

Census of the SeminOles.

Jacksonville Times L MON and Citizen:
\ report from the census enumerators
appointed To take the count of the Semi
mole Indians in the southern part of the
state shows that it has heen, so far, a
success-quite up TO the expectations of
the supervisor and the men to whom the
difficult task was committed. 4 COM
plete count has been made of the In
dians on the east side of the Everglades,
and no difficulty has been experienced III
getting the information asked. Mr.. Fries
reports that he has learned that the In
dians on the west side are scattered on a
big hunt, and will not return TO their
villages until the first week in August;
consequently, he has delayed his trip to
the west for few days, and will start on
AuguSt to cross the Everglades by boat
from Fort Lauderdale. A story of his
experience on this expedition will prove
most interesting reading when it shall he
published. which, it is hoped, will be
done III the near future. The trip is one
that has been attempted but few times
before in the history of Florida, and the
equipment for the unusual journey will be
most elaborate. But few men in Florida
are sufficiently experienced and familiar
with the uncharted waters of the great
swamp TO undertake the hazardous trip,
but Mr.. Fries anticipates no insurmount-
able difficulty in reaching the Indians OF
| in securing an accurate count of their
numbers.

the openings in the building boarded up
that afternoon, and Father O'Boyle, who
has charge of the property, was advised
of the damage at once.
There were several persons and families
living in houses closely adjoining, none
experienced any bad effects from the
shock except Mrs. ;. ID. Oelger, who Is

Southern Express Case.

Attorney General Terrell has received
notice from counsel for the Southern Ex-
press company that the appeal for GER
tiOrari in the case of the Georgia Railroad
commission versus the Southern Express
company will be heard in the United
States supreme court on October ID.
The suit was brought about on account
of the express company making the
senders Of express packages pay for the
revenue stamps which was placed on re-
ceipts. The Railroad commission took
the matter up in the courts and the case
was heard before Judge Emory Speer in
the United States court az Macon. Judge
Speer decided in favor of the Express
company. Attorney General Terrell ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals at
New Orleans and Judge Speer's decision
was reversed.
Now the suit will be heard before the
supreme court if the certiorari is sane
toned. If the court decides to review
the case, the record and the decision of
the court of appeals will be sent to
Washington. Mr. Terrell will appear in
the court for the Railroad commission.

ldIiaiIdSSSt, "blN, I''o.
During the past two years 500, 10000
of the public debt of the state has been
paid from the general revenue iund by
taking up the notes for 500, 10000, which
were issued by authority of the ,gisia-
ture of 1882 and 1891, chapter $50 and
chapter 40lS, laws of Florida.
These notes were hearing interest at
the rate Of , per cent. per annum, and
their payment and cancellation have
saved the state $1,000 90 per annum in
interest, besides reducing the debt Of the
state S2OD. 10000. This has been done
without an increase of taxation, bul on
the contrary the state tax levy Was re-
duccd below the levy authorized by the
legislature one-half mill for lSlS and one
half mill for 1900.
