A new SOURCE OF WORRY
Big Storm Said to BE Brewing
Among South Africans Who
Were Loyal.

London, Sept. Nothing import
ant. it is believed now, is likely to en-
sue as result of the conference held
yesterday at the colonial Office be-
tween Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain and the Boer generals, Botha,
Dewet and Delarey. There may be,
however. slight notifications of the
plans outlined for the resettlement Of
matters in the annexed territories,
but these will be in the nature of in.
ternal changes, more interesting to
political economists than to the world
at large, and even these will only oc-
cur after Mr.. Chamberlain shall have
consulted with Lord Miner. British
high commissioner in South Africa,
and after such consultation shall have
laid the matter before the cabinet.
What transpired at yesterdays con-
ference is little more than what hap
pens when one OF the members OF
the cabinet received trade or other
delegation in support Of its particular

conquered republics, SO far as their
relations to the outside world are con-
cerned, could be admitted to discus
sion
Such points were irrevocably set
tied when the terms of peace were
signed. The concessions which the
Boer generals urged Mr.. Chamberlain
to make were almost vitally important
to individual Beers, especially to land
owners, but of comparatively small
Importance to the rank and file in
England, except to those, who through
investment or otherwise, are directly
concerned in South Africa. Nothing
has so forcibly brough home to the
average Englishman the end of the
war as the visit Of the Boer generals
to Mr.. Chamberlain office and it's
possible results are nlagnified out Of
all reckoning.
The British government will give
the Beers all they can desire to- gain
their cooperation to the establishment
of the new regime, but already there
is good-sized storm brewing among
the Beers of Cape Colony, Natal and
Rhodesia and among the British resi-
dents of the South African colonies
over what is termed "the imperial
governments anxiety to reward dis
loyalty and aggression" One of the
colonial premiers recently said to
representative of the Associated
Press:
"Mr. Chamberlain is more scared
now by the South African loyalists
than he ever was by the Beers. With
such conditions .prevailing it is OBJ
viously impossible for Mr.. Chamber
lain Immediately to secure any i'm
portant concessions for the Beers.
even though he may recognize the
justice of their claims"

RIDES RAPIDS IN BOAT.
Charles Alexander Percy Makes Trip
Thru Niagara Whirlpool.

| Niagara Falls N. Y, Sept. SIN the
presence of a big crowd Charles Alex
ander Percy Sunday afternoon made a
trip thru the whirlpool in boat of his
own construction. Percy is about 40
years old. a wagon-maker by trade.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the
day when Maud Willard lost her life in
going thru the rapids in Graham's bar
rel. On Sept. last year she made the
rapids trip. and the barrel in which she
travelled floated over five hours in the
pool before it was captured and taken
ashore.
A remembrance of this event led
many to feel that Percy would lose his
life in his attempt to brave the rapids.
People gathered early on the banks and
bridges. while all along the gorge they
occupied vantage points.
At o'clock Percy pulled out to the
center Of the river and directed the bow
OF his craft toward the rapids that
killed Capt. Webb on July "a. 1888
Fastening the oars to the side of the
boat he picked up two flags and waved
AS he drifted into the first swells he
hurriedly leaped into the rear air COM
partment and closed the door.
The craft struck the first wave bow
on and kept we'll to the center of the
river. but in making the passage it
drifted sideways. 1t was so heavily ball
lasted and the rapids are so charged
with air that the boat did not ride the
waves freely, owing to the lack of
buoyancy of the waters, but 1t plunged

"RED DEVIL ExPLoDEs.
Big Automobile Recently Built in oma-
ha a Completo Wreck.

Omaha, Sept. S.-With a report SINH
lar to the roar of cannon the big lied
Devil automobile, built in Omaha a
few weeks ago, went heaVenward While
standing in front OF c. b. Rridenbeck-
er's bowling alley, 1872 Farnam street.
Harry Sharpe, the builder of the auto,
and three companions had left their
seats on the machine and when the ex-
plosiOn took place were in a nearby sa-
loon. Had the young men been seated
in the vehicle when the accident hap
nened it is likely that every one would
have been instantly killed or mangled
in a terrible manner
So great was the force of the explo-
sion that it severed the wires strung
Tor the electrical display of the fall car
nival, blowing into space the sockets
strung thereon for distance of several
feet. smashing windows and landing
one of the cushions Of the machine up
ON the roof OF an adjacent three-story
building smashing the boiler and gaso-
line fuel tank and completely wrecking
the machinery.
The machine was originally built by
sharpe and WAS tive-horse power We
hicle. consuming gasoline as fuel and
costing about $1,000. 1t was painted a
deep crimson. and when dashing along
the thoroughfarcs about the city it
looked the Red Devil 1t had been
christened by observers.
The cause of the explosion could not
be definitely determined last night.
When questioned after the accident
Sharp discaimed any interest in the
auto and positively declared it did not
belong to him and that he did not know
To whom it did belong. From an ex-
pert machinist and engineer who looked
at the wreck it was learned that from
the absence of water about the vicinity
ii was more than likely that the water
in the boiler had been exhausted, altho
he said there might have been leak in
the gasoline pipes and that the gas thus
generated might have exploded.
Two men, conversing within fifteen
feet of the auto when it blew UP, were
Jared off their feet. Upon scrambling
UP one Of the men started on a run
westward on Farnam street and failed
to return. Parts of the gearing and
woodwork We're blown almost to Four
teenth street.
Since the machine was first taken
from the shops it has had great deal
Of experimental work done upon it, but
whether because it failed to work

new attachments, could not be learned
from its owner last night. 1t has been

tionaI Charges for Conference.
Oshkosh. Wis, Sept. 9.-Before the
Wisconsin Methodist Episcopal confer
ence, which will begin at Milwaukee
today, Rev. Thomas Clitnero. of Port
age, once member of the conference,
will make sensational charges.
He will assert that he has been the
victim Of malignant persecution, that
he was deprived of his right to preach
and kept out Of secular employment;
that his wife joined his enemies, and
they had him incarcerated in an insane
hospital for five months when he was
perfectly sane. Quotations are given
from letters by Bishop Andrews, Rev.
H. p. Haylett, Rev. w. Fl. Chynoweth
and Rev. j. II. Nelson to corroborate
Mr.. Clitheros statements. One of these
writer's says that secret society" is
to blame for the trouble. while another
declares that there is d depth of cold
villiany and satanic scheming
in the case that would match the stor-
les, of Spanish Jesuitism."

attracted by the odor of cor
ruption, are clasping the church with
their crooked hands and fattening upon

able Gain in the State
Legislature.

Portland, Me-, Sept 9.-In the state
election yesterday Governor Hills plu-
rality was cut from $4,000 two years
ago to about $4,000. The democrats say
they have gained about fifteen repre-
sentatives to the legislature. Congress-
men Allen, Little1ield, Burleigh and
Powers are reelected by pluralities
about equal to the republican plurali-
ties of four years ago. The vote in
Congressman Littlefelds district was
especially light.
There were lively contests over the
office of sheriff in four counties. In
Cumberland county, in which the late
Sheriff Pearson for sixteen months
tried to absolutely enforce the prohib-
itory law, the Rev. Almon S. Bashee,
the prohibitionist candidate for sheriff
was badly defeated. and for the first
time in twenty years a democrat was
elected to the office. The successful
nominee is William NJ. Pencil OF
Brunswick, whose policy on the ques-
ton of enforcement was not deflned
during the campaign, but who was sup
ported by the liberal element.
In York county the fusion of demo-
Gratis and prohibitionists in an attempt
to elect an sheriff pledged to ram

failed. Sheriff Fogg, the republican
nominee, was reelected by 1S3 plural

since I came to Lincoln, but two or
three Of his closest friends with whom
have talked agree that this is his
attitude. Unless it is very clear that
his nomination is absolutely impossible
Mr.. Bryan will be in the race as usual.
Mr.. Bryan's friends had been led to
believe that he would not again seek
the presidency, but their eyes We're
opened at the meeting Of the de-. !ocrat
lie and populistic state conventions at
Grand Island. There was some doubt
as to whether fusion could be effected,
and former Senator Allen, Mr.. Bryan's
spokesman, pleaded for fusion upon the
ground that only by keeping up the al
lance between the two parties in this
state could Mr.. Bryan win his third
nomination in 1904. This argument
was used publicly and without any ef-
forts at concealment
Mr.. Bryan himself was in attendance
upon the conventions, and he pleaded
for fusion, tho, of course, without de-
claring that he wanted it to help him
toward the presidency in 1904. He was
aware, however, of the argument
which ex-senator Allen was using, and
made no effort to stop it. Ever since

ans friends have been convinced that
