sMUST HAVE YELLOW MEN.
Rand Miners Are Unable to Obtain
Enough Kafars.


LONDON May 16.-The importation of
Chinese labor into South Africa was
decided upon in principle sometime ago,
but no definite plans have yet been
formed regarding the number to be inn
ported nor the conditions to govern the
importation. Colonial Secretary Cham
berlin and the big firms of the rand are
in agreement that no other solution Of
the labor difficulty is possible. At pres
ent half the stamps at the mines are
idle because only $4,000 kafflrs are pro-
durable when 10000 men are required
As a consequence the conditions at
Johannesburg are daily growing worse
and business is slack White laborers
hOcSed there at the close of the war
but they were unable to ind satisfac-
tory employment and discomfort is rife.
This suits the rand magnates who are
loath to accept the sole responsibility
for introducing yellow labor and hope
that the prevailing paralysis of trade
win soon lead to a popular demand for
the importation of even the hated
Chinese" so that the mines may be set
working with their full capacity with
consequent revival OF business depend
ing thereon. Up to the present how
ever the trading population of South
Africa is bitterly opposed to the impor-
tatiOn Of Chinese.

BANDS OF ARMENlANS
Have a Disquieting Effect Upon
the Turkish Authorities.

Constantinople. May 16.-The Turkish
authorities are disquieted at the recent
appearance Of bands of Armenian rev.

and are adopting rigorous measures to
guard the frontier. The Armenians cross
in small parties in the neighborhood of
Bayazid and thence make their way to
the Sazun mountains where they are
safe from pursuit 1t is alleged here
that the Russian authorities Of kars,
Asiatic Russia, are aware of the move
ment of the Armenian reVOlutionists,
but that they do not intend to interfere.
1t is believed that the appearance of
these bands indicates a revival of ac-
uVity on the part of the old Armenian
committees, who are understood to be
anxious to be in a position to take ad-
vantages of possible complications
arising from the Macedonian situation
in which case the claims of the Armen-
ians will be revived and the same ad-
vantages gained by the Macedonians
from European intervention will be de-

The Turkish government has notified

Later in the evening the officers made
a little social call on Mrs. Jennie Hall,
at her home down on Madison street.
Nothing in particular was going on, but
the chief says he has two witnesses who
say they purchased brew from her. and
he will put the kiboSh on her business
enterprise. All four of the suspects
were kept in durance vile during the
night, for the cash bond racket is a
thing of the past. This morning they
all entered the not guilty plea, and a
bunch of bondsmen appeared with dip
pers and things to bail them cut Then
came a surprise. Instead of accepting
each applicant at once, the court asked
some questions. with the result that
most of them were turned to the wall
as incompetent, Irrelevant and imma
terial. 1t is thought that all the suffer-
ers will get out today.

say much about it at the time but the
facts are that he went home late one

place at breakfast time. He was graft

Hoilyhoclss.

They stand along the rude farm wall
Like buxom danes and fair,
Their rosy ruiiies caught with bees,
Their bright heads high IN air;
To lure the gypsy humminS bird
Sweets in their crimson bowl they hoard.
They brighten all the sober farm
With looks of holiday.
Content to blde with humble folk
outside the garden gay,
though splendid as the lilies deep,
!hat In the warm sweet sunshine sleep.
y pleasant screen their tall ranks make
Before the old back stoop;
They sheltered the red hives that stand
Where sleepy elm boughs droop:
And shut out all the long highway
With Its bold eyes on market day.
What flocks of golden butterflies
About their tall heads nit
What songs the breeZes sing to them
When evening stars are lit.
And, though they do not tell / know
They sing about the long ago.
And here, these stll. sweet summer
hours.
The hearts of exiles Gomez
For the bees ring In their gay cups
Is like the bells of home,
And dear lost childhuod's voice of glee
They keep as pink shells keep the sea.

II in riches you are rolling. undisturbed
by thought of care,
You can't sense" the heavy burden your
poor brother has to bear;
II no thorns are In your pillow, IL your
couch lies soft and light,
can you realize his worries who lies
sleepless all the night?
NO; your own heart must be broken
crushed and sore in fragments lie,
Ere upon anothcrs wounding you the
