LONDON, March ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: DIR.
Jameson was down with enteric fever
and critically i'll when Iadysmith was
relieved. A private dispatch received
here by prominent South African
states that he has rallied and is likely
to recover. DR.. Jameson was anxious
campaign, but as the leader of the raid
he was excluded from the service for
political reasons and was not welcomed
when he arrived at Ladysmith a few
days before the Investment Of the town:
His opportunity came. When the gsaf
rison was fever-stricken he reverted to
medical practice and did 10 mems
work in caring for the fever patients
and the wounded soldiers. '.
Enjoys Are High Officials.
The peace ENJOYS who have arrived
at Louuenzo Marques are high officials
in the two republics. Mr.. Wolmeras is
a member of the Boer executive council
and blind follower of. President
Kruger, who has implicit confidence ia
his fidelity. While nearer 10 than 81
years old, he fought as a youth in the
first war of independence, and was Bis
terly hostile to the outlanders and re-
formers. The South Africans describe
him as an astute and crafty man, who
has learned all he knows about politics
from Mr.. Kruger MI. Fischer has been
state secretary of the Free State ana
has exerted a strong influence over the
Dutch leaders i'll Cape Colony. He hat
the reputation Of being strong advo-
cate of peace a year ago, but President
Steyn carried him into the war and has
been faithfully served by him.
The ministers, having the moral sup
port Of the united nation, are indiffer-
emit to the appeals which the Dutch are
making for foreign intervention,
whether in Europe or America. They
confidently expect Lord Roberts to 60
from Bloemfontein to Pretoria and are
resolute in fighting the battle Of tho,
United Empire They will regard the
Intervention of any European power as
an unfriendly act, precisely as the
Americans would have done at the close
Of the war with Spain when the British
government refused to NEEDLE in what
lid not concern it. :
There is evidently the hope on the
part Of one or two European powers that
have been approached through their
colisuls at Pretoria that the American
government, which was under special
obligations to the British foreign Office
during the war with Spain, would make
"a serious mistake in its policy at the
present Fcrisis,s but there are no signs
that the state department. has any in-
tention 3of thrusting its service upon +
British government which is satisfied
with the present work of Lord Roberts
as a capable and efficient diplomatist.s

DebOe Declares 1t Ridiculous.

WASHINGTON, March ia rumor
was current at the Capitol that a war
rant was to be issued for the arrest of
Senator Deboe of Kentucky for alleged
completely in the assassination of Mr..
Goebel. The senator said the mere sug-

said he was ready and willing to answer
any charge which may be brought
against him in that connection.

TRUC E AGREED ON.
Danger Of Civil War in Kentucky Passes
Over For the Present at Least.


Over For the Present at Least.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 15.-The leg
islature Of Kentucky has adjourned
sine die. A conference between Adju-
tant Generals Collier and Castleman re-
suited in a perfect understanding being
reached. Governor Taylor will con.
Time to act rs governor and Governor
Beckham will make no. move toward
securing possession Of the state build
ings until after the court of appeals has
decided the disputed governorship. The
legislature appropriate 500, 600 for the
use Of Governor Beckham in reorganiz-
ing the state militia. This in brief is
the present situation in Kentucky poll
tics. - MT 51z,.2sf
Among the more conservative element
in each party the opinion prevails that
the worst is over and that when the
court Of appeals renders Its decision the
danger Of civil war in the common
wealth, which has been terribly immi-t
nent, win have entirely passed away.
To the Democratic leaders, with a full
understanding Of the situation, only
r.: One Cloud Appears on the Horizon
and that is Governor Taylor's future,
course, Governor Taylor himself will
not outline his plan of action beyond
the statement which he made to the
Associated Press correspondent that he
would continue to act as governor"
Republicans in Governor Taylor's con-
fdence, however, say that he will re-
main at Frankfort in the discharge of
his duties until the court Of last resort
passes upon the question at issue. Then,
if the decision be against him, he will
step out at once and turn over the state
buildings to Governor Beckham. The
Republicans will make every effort to
carry the dispute into the federal courts
in case the decision Of the court of ap.
peals is against them.
The Democratic leaders assert that
they will cheerfully abide by the deci-
sion Of the court Of appeals. But should
the decision be in their favor they will
insist on the occupancy of the state
buildings, peaceably if possible, but
forcibly if necessary.

A Suit for SIander.

Mrs. Eva NJ. Sellers of Penobscot, through
her attorneys in Bangor. has brought a suit
for $4,000 damages for alleged Islander
against William B. Clement, prominent
business man there, and who is said to be the
wealthiest man in the town Several years
ago Mrs. Sellers, who is the wife of George
Sellers, proprietor of the hotel at Penobscot
began to receive letters of highly insulting
nature. These letters were mailed in the
town of Penobscot, and all of them are said
to have contained most serious charges
against her character. The attention of the
post office authorities was called to the case
and the officials advised civil action, and
the suit brought by Mrs. Sellers is the re-
suit. The case will be entered at the April
term of the supreme court in Hancock coun.
ty and will probably be tried in October.

We hear good deal of denunciation of
trusts, much of which is deserved; but
they are not an unmixed evil. 1t is only
when their capital is inflated beyond rea-
son and the attempt is made to pay divi-
dends on this watered stock that they be-
core onerous and deserve the censure
ment and of manufacture is reduced by
consolidation the consumer is benefited
and such so-called trusts are legitimate
and even commendable. Now, in view of
the present situation in the granite bust
ness, many people in this section think
that the labor unions deserve attention as
right of labor to organize for its own pro-
lection and advancement. Indeed, such Or
CARNATIONS have been encouraged by many
employers, who find it easier to settle dis
ruted points with the representatives of a
Union than with individual employees.
In this way scale of prices is agreed
upon loI d certain TERM, WHICH Ill ludlIS
lines of business is a great advantage.
But to single out one industry, for exam
pie, take the Stone Cutters National
Union The men in New England who
become affiliated with this organization
place their fortunes in the hands of I'M
known officers in Chicago, men whose
interests are to have all the stone work
done in the west Our New England
stone cutters may have steady work at
their own homes at satisfactory prices,
and with no fault to find with their hours
OF labor or with their employers. Then
they get orders from Chicago to stop
work, and feel bound in honor to obey the
mandate of their national union. At this
writing practically the whole granite in
dustry of New England is at stand still,
and thousands of men who had been earn
ing high wages are without employment.
In some places concessions have been
made and the men have returned to work,
only to be ordered out again from Chica-
60. This looks to us like tyranny, and
worse. Is there no remedy? Is an or
ganization in Chicago to be allowed to
destroy our granite industry and to pre-
vent our people from working for wages
satisfactory to themselves and their EN-
ployers?

The revival of Book Farm literature
with the frequent mention of Haw-
tholne, recalls the time when | had the
honor of meeting and taking the hand of
this distinguished author. 1t vas in 1860,
ON board a Cunard steamer. Mr. Haw-
thorne, by appointment of President
Pierce, had served term as consul at
Liverpool and after few years of
European travel was returning to this
country, accompanied by his devoted
wife. He was not then in the best of
health, and not long after came his last
illness. Most people are familiar with
his portrait and need not be told what a
noble looking man he was. His eyes were
wonderful-large, dark, and somew hat
sorrowful in expression. Mrs. Hawthorne
was a motherly looking woman and seem
ed to have maternal care for her hus-
band. On the same steamer was Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe and her two daugh-
tiers, also returning from foreign tour;
and the contrast between Mrs. Stowe and
Hawthorne was marked. Mrs. Stowe
was plain, even insignificant looking
while the form and features of Hawthorne
would command attention anywhere in
any assemblage.
