intention Of giving up the struggle, is one
of the most active of the Transvaal lead
ers and his proclamation will no doubt
have the effect of encouraging friends of
the Boer cause in Cape Colony.

 Gold Watch and Chain.
 There was an unsuccessful attempt made to hold up a hack, which was driven by Arthur Lunny, on the Water vile road last night Young Lunny had driven several passengers to Wa terville and was returning to this city and had reached q point near the rail road trestle. It was very dark at this place and the first thing the driver knew was that two men rushed from the side of the road and each seized one of the horses. Naturally the driver lost his nerve for q few mo- ments owing to the sudden hold up. But it was only for a few moments. Seizing the whip he lashed both horses and they galloped away, dragging the men a considerable distance. Whether the men were hurt or not it is un- known. At any rate young Lunny es- capped without injury.
 On Thursday night there was also a hold-up on the Southington mountain. This time the highwaymen were suc- cessful. Two Southington young men who had driven into this city earlier in the evening were returning home about midnight. When they were near the bottom of the mountain they were held up by two men. They were re- fieved of $33 and gold watch and chain.

TYPEWRITERS BARRED

Constantinople, May IS. The cus- toms authorities have prohibited the entry of typewriters into Turkey and POO machines now in the custom house have been ordered returned to the con- signors. The authorities have taken up the peculiarly characteristic attitude that there is no distinct feature about typewriting by which the authorship could be recognized, or a person using a machine be traced. Consequently. any one is able to put in type seditious writings without fear of compromising himself. Photographic paste and fluid are also prohibited for similar reasons. The embassies are making representa- tions on the subject with the view of inducing the Turkish government to take up more reasonable attitude.
