Troops.
Berlin, April 13. The Cape Town
correspondent Of the Franlkfurter Eel
tung confirms the reports in the Eng
fish newspapers as to the present po-
sition Of the Beers and the madness OF
Gen. Dewet. The correspondent says

and there is great depression among
the rank and file. Gen. Dewet. the cor
respondent says, is so distracted that
his condition cain truly be described as
insane. IIe moves about in fear Of his
life among his own troops surrounded
day and night by bodyguard of his
chosen adherents. But even from the
ranks Of his own men, the correspond
ent says, there are voices heard now,
more frequently and imperatively,: call

Serious Trouble May Follow Sein
Fishing In Red Luke.
White Earth, Mimi, April 12-Mes-
sengers have just arrived here from
the Red Lake Chippewa reservation
bearing messages and asking their
kindred of the White Earth reservation
to unite with them in a strenuous pro-
test against the passage Of the fishing
bill permitting pound and seine fishing
in the Red lake waters, and which is
now pending before the state legisla-
ture. The Indians are vehement in
their protest against the measure, and
should the bill become law it is not
improbable that the Red Lake Chip
pewas will be provoked beyond the
limits of endurance, and serious
trouble may follow in consequence,
The White Earth people are unani-
mously antagonistic to the proposed
measure.

The numerous Birmingham friends and admirers of Miss Minnie c. Vesey of Nashville, who remember her great sue cess last summer in summer opera Will read the following interview in yester- days Nashville American:
 Miss Minnie c. Vesey returned to the city on Sunday from Chautauqua, where she filled a three weeks engagement She sang before the assembly in concert twice each week, and at each Of the six concerts her audience numbered over 5000. Her success was so pronounced ana complete that 1t must be a matter Of con- graduation to all her Nashville friends. Her career has been a succession or mu- sical successes, and the fact of her bsHig the only Southern woman ever chosen as one of Chautauqua's vocalists is one of its chief distinctions.
 During pleasant chat yesterday after noon, In the attractive apartments Of Miss Muse, where she Is stopping during her brief pause in the city. Miss Vesey told many interesting details of her Chau- tauqua engagement.
 'The audiences were uniformly large" she said '"The Assembly auditorium seats between 5000 and 1000 and 1t was usually quite full. The people are not always sympathetic however. A block of 100 listeners will get up and quietly walk out In the midst of a song or lecture if it happens not to catch their fancy. If you please the crowd, however, it is responsive to an enthusiastic degree.
 A"Ballads and the lighter harmonies were usually popular Once when I sang 'Suwanee River" illustrating Southern dialect reading of Mrs Martha & Gielow, the applause could hardly be quieted.
 'The prevalence of the college spirit is perhaps the chief characteristic of the place. 1t Is an exceptionally scholarly class of people who gather there every year. They are earnest and full of the desire for improvement which causes them to take sincere advantage of every one of the splendid educational oportu- mites offered The result is an atmos- phere of receptive appreciation of every thing that Is good.
 "Dr. Palmer, the musical director, has held that position for years, and richly deserves the distinguished reputation he has made for himself. Personally he is the personif1cation of kindness and suitability. In his official capacity he Is not easily impressed, and decidedly chary of bestowing praise. It was an experi- ment for the assembly to engage a Southern woman as soloist. The Chau- tauqua directors could not be sure wheth- CT 1t would be popular or not For that reason, if for no other, I am deeply grateful for the measure of success that I achieved"
 The press notices of Miss Vesey's ap- pearance give glowing accounts of the triumph she scored
 One New York paper states, too. that the most popular number of her whole repertoire was her own composition a very taking boat song, over which Nash ville audiences also never fail to wax enthusiastic.

Tuscaloosa, August 4.-(Special.)- Trouble arose last night between Clarence Barr and Charlie Sanders. alleged to be over a woman, and Sanders shot Barr in the right hand the ball ranging upward and breaking his arm. The wound Is not a very severe one, and Barr will be all right in the course of a few weeks. The trouble occurred at the Mobile and Ohio and Alabama Great Southern Railway crossings It seems that jealousy played a big part in the affair. It was reported that Sanders shot several times at Barr. but only one shot took effect. Sanders has not yet been arrested.
