THE BLACK DANGER"

British officers in Basutoland believe
that new factor, dangerous to both
Beers and British. must soon be reck-
oned with in South Africa. They re-
port that there are indications of an
uprising of the natives-the "Black
Danger which several times has
brought Dutch and British In South
Africa together in resistance to savag-
cry.
There are in Cape Colony 800, 900
whites to 1000, 900 natives. In Basuto-
land there are only about 600 whites to
| 900 natives. In the Transvaa1, be-
| fore the war, there were 345,0 900 whites
and over 74S, 900 natives. In the Orange
| Free State there were about 10000
whites and 10000 natives. In Natal
there We're $1,000 whites and $4,000 ma
| tives In Rhodesia there were 10000
whites and 100000 natives.
| In the several divisions Of South
Africa there were at the beginning OF
the Boer war 100000 whites and 3,400,
| 900 natives. The latter under the lead
ership Of men not friendly to either
Beers or British, are watching events
closely, with the purpose of seeking
their own advantage through the con-
tinuance of the war
So far in the war both British and
Beers have been at great pains to give
the natives no excuse or opportunity
for hostilities. Should there be an up
rising now, it would be as great dan
ger to the Boer peoples as to the Brit
ish colonies. The white men, could
there be peace among them, would be
in better condition to meet such an
uprising than ever before, because of
the 900 British soldiers in the field.
But to meet it there must be co-opera-
ton between the British and the
Beers
There have been times In the past
| when Beers have appealed to British
against the BLACK Danger" and when
British have appealed to Beers. There
have been times. too, when the natives
have appealed to British against the
Beers, but there never has been time
when British and Beers were more In
tent on destroying each other than
now.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Serious Fire.

Monday night about z 80 O'Clock
the gong rang at the Scotland Nee k
cotton mills, and the crowd that rushed
to the scene soon found that the mill
was on fire. The fire was found to be
in large bank of unfinished hosiery
about the centre of the building. The
automatic sprinklers worked we'll and
soon extlnguished the flame, but as the
fire seemed to have originated about
the centre of the stack of goods the hose
was kept on it with a stream OF water
until the stock was badly damaged. It
had to be done to save the goods.
The loss from the fire and water is
estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000.
It was fully covered by insurance.
There was no clue to the cause OF the
IRE further than the suggestion that it
caught by spontaneous combustion.
But for the large tank and plenty of
water the mill would have been de-
stroyed. The fire causes the mill to be
closed and work suspended tor few
DAYS.
