4 1RANsVAAL LOAN.
Money For Reconstruction of the
TransyaaI and the Orange Free
State.

London, May 6.-In moving in the
House Of Commons today formal re-
solution guaranteeing the Transvaal
loan of s175, 000,0 00O Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain delivered a long
optimistic speech on the future of the
new South African colonies. His re-
marks we're mostly reiteration OF
former statements. Mr.. Chamberlain
declined to give the price or the time
of issue of the new loan, but said the
prospectus would shortly be issued.
He explained that it had been decided
to purchase all the existing railways,
which would absorb S65, 600, 900 Of the
new loan, and S25, 600, 600 more would
be expended as quickly as possible on
the development of railways; S12, 800, :
600 would be spent on settlement and
$40, 100000 on public works. The
security for the loan was excellent. 1t
would be charge on the common fund
of the two new colonies, the Trans
vaal and range River colonies, whose
finances would be administered by the
new inter-colonial council, which was
about to be created for the purpose OF
dealing with the constabulary, rail
way and other matters where the
colonies were jointly interested. This
would be the commencement Of the
policy leading to the federation OF
South Africa, which, he believed,
was nearer than many persons thought.
After some debate the resolution was
agreed to.

Grand Canyon, Ariz., May G.
Arizona welcomed President Roosevelt
here today and the welcome it gave
him was warm one. a special train
from Flagstaff brought a large crowd
of people, and they also came in from
the surrounding country on horseback
and in wagons. The presidents train
arrived here at o'clock this morning
and until it left at 6 o'clock in the
evening he was constantly on the GO.
Horses were in waiting at the station
as the train pulled IN and after the
president had greeted a number of
members of his old regiment, he
mounted and took l2-mile ride.
Then he returned to the hotel, where
he made brief address to the people
and presented diplomas to the grad
yates of the Flagstaff school.
1T was from Arizona" said the
president in opening his address,
that so many gallant men came into
the regiment that | lad the honor to
command. Arizona sent men who
won glory on hard fought fields and
men to whom came a glorious and an
honorable death, fighting for the flag
of their country. AS long as | live it
will be to me an inspiration to have
served with Buck U'Neil. The
president also paid compliment to

Bloodhounds Garry Crime to Door

Eastover, May 6.-Yesterday even
ing while going toward his home rid
ing mule, just after dark, Carolina
Jones, one of the staunchest colored
men of this section, was shot from
ambush near his house, about Shree
miles south Of Eastover. The weapon
used by the would-be assassin vas a
shot gun loaded with No. shot, the
load taking effect in Jones back and
face. DR.. Rivers was Immediately
telephoned for and reports that Jones

prove fatal Jones, who has ample
means, at once telephoned Sheriff
Coleman to send bloodhounds to the
scene of the shooting and they arrived
over the Atlantic Coast Line at S
O'Clock this morning in charge Of Mr..
Cathcart.
The hounds trailed jones' own sons
to his (Carolina'sl house where gun
was found with one empty chamber

can be gathered it seems that three

DEMOCRATS WIN IN BALTIMORE
Elect the Mayor and Have a Ma
iority in the City Council.

Baltimore, Nd, May 6.-The ballots
in 304 of the election precincts cast
at yesterdays. municipal election IN
this city give Robert NJ. McLane,
democratic candidate for the mayoral-
ty, plurality over Frank M. Wachter,
Republican, of $40. The ballots in the
remaining four precincts are still M
counted, owing to disputes among the
judges of election. They are now
in possession Of the board Of election
supervisors, who announced today that
the boxes will not be opened until to-
morrow. It is not thought probable
that the count of these ballots will
materially change the result in favor
of McLane.
Mr.. Wachter, the Republican candi-
date, and his party leaders charge that
many ballots cast in his favor have
been illegally thrown out, and they
announce that they will appeal to the
Courts.
The republican candidates for city
comptroller and president of the second
branch Of the city council we're elect
ed. TIE Republicans will have q
majority in the second Of the city
council and the Democrats majority
in the first branch. The Democrats
will have majority on joint ballot,
and thus will be able to elect the city
register, who is virtually the municipal
treasurer.
It was announced tonight that coun-
sci had been engaged by the Repub.
lican leaders to contest the apparent
election of Robert McLane, Demo
crat, as mayor of Baltimore over Franb
G.. Wachter, Republican. The contest
: will be in the form on an injunction
to restrain the election supervisors from
issuing a certificate of election to Mr.
McLane on the face of the returns.

BEEF CUTS.
Information for Housewives About
Terms Used by Butchers.

Most housewives do not understand
the terms used by the butcher to de-
scribe the various cuts into which the
carcass of beef is divided. Therefore.
they do not always know what they are
buying. Here is some information on
the subject: -
The whole beef is split into halves,
following the centre Of the backbone
or vertebral column from tail to neck.
Each half contains hind and fore
quarter.
The forequarter is then cut from the
hindquarter. These are the processes
of the wholesaler. The flores" and
''hinds,'' as they are called, are now
ready for the retailer.
4 The forequarter is cut into two parts
the rack, consisting of set of ribs,
and the chuck, or shoulder proper
up up to and including the eighth rib.
The eighth rib cut shows the blade
gristle only on one side. The ninth
rib is usually called chuck, roast.
The rack is cut into prime rib,
standing or rolled roasts.
The chuck is complicated piece of
meat when cut into kitchen pieces by
the butcher. It's anatomy yields the
following pieces for cooking: Oven
and pot roasts, boneless chuck steaks
and chuck roasts, cut free Of bone
and metamorphosed into top aud lower
Saratoga roasts. The lower cut is the
more tender. 1t has the eye piece,
which somewhat resembles the eye of
a porter house rolled roast.
81 A. re m
the wizard of the cleaver. These are
the soup and stewing pieces, plate,
| navel and brisket pieces for corning,
oven and pot roasts, made by removing
the flesh from the shoulder bones, and
chuck steaks cut from the cross rib.
In the above disguises the word
'.chuck' loses all of its plebeian char
acter.
The hindquarter is less complicated,
but its dissection is interesting to the
culinary economist. This part of the
beef carcass as cut in two: the loin OF
the beef and the round, consisting OF
the leg, top and bottom round, rumI
and flank.
Now comes steak roll call. The
loin of beef is cut by the butcher into
top sirloin steaks and roasts, short
! sirloin, round bone sirloins, fat bone
steaks, hip-bone steaks, boneless sirloin
steaks, porter house steaks and roasts:
Then there are la mode top ronnd
cuts, bottom round cuts for pot roasts
and corned beef. The rump goes into
steaks and corning pieces, flank steaks
and rolled flank pot roasts or corning
pieces.
If the housekeeper is mystiied by
the shop vernacular it is because she
has not learned the geography of the
beef cuts,'' as Boston culinary
student put it. By not knowing he1
alphabet the purchaser is often I'M
posed upon and made to pay a higher
price for an artistically arranged piece
of very cheap meat.-New York Sun.

WATER NEEDED IN CHARLESTON.
Million Gallons a Day Must be
Furnished if Work is to Contin-
ue on Navy Yard.

Washington, May 6.-There appears
to be trouble ahead for Charleston
about her navy yard. The navy de-
partment has sent a stiff note to the
Charleston park commission calling
attention to the failure of the commits
sion to fulfill its contract with the
government under which it agreed
that l, 900, 900 gallons of fresh water
per day would be available at all times
at the yard.
The department insists that immedi-
ate steps must be taken to fulfill this
contract if the city expects the work
on the yard to continue. 1t was a
similar lack of water which caused the
removal of the navy yard from Port
Royal to Charleston despite the pro-
tests of many naval officers, and the
department is determined that if a
similar condition Of affairs is to ensue
at Charleston to take steps in time to
protect itself against another wasteful
expenditure.
This action was forced upon the de-
partment by the threats of all the con-
tractors engaged in work at the yard
to bring suit against the government
for the amount involved in bringing
water to the yard. Under their con-
tract with the department the latter
on the strength of its contract with
the park commission agreed to furnish
the contractors with 100000 gallons
of water per day and the bids were
made on this basis. 1t is claimed
that there is an enormous deficiency
of water at the yard, and according to
the reports of the contractors as we'll as
the officials of the yard, the wells al
ready sunk are by no means adequate
to met the demand. About $1,000, 600
worth of work has already been con-
tracted for by the government at
Charleston and the department is
somewhat anxious over the condition
there as reported to it in the last few
days. 1t is not known how soon the
park commission will be able to reme-
dy the matter, but the supposition is
that the question will be Immediately
brought before the city council of
Charleston for consideration.
