So much success attended the inter-

Africa for the Africans.

One of the results of recent British
policy in south Africa has been the
distinct alienation of the natives. Now
the report is received that a British
force has left the Transvaal for the
Basuto border. This looks like the be-
ginning of serious trouble. The H.
600 British troops there would consti-
tute only a respectable meal for the
natives in the not improbable event
of an uprising o. all the various tribes
in sympathy with the Basutos. Af-i-
ca for the Africans has become kind
of hattle-cry among the peoples of the

which he was appointed as the sue

an open secret for some time that
there has been no harmony between
the Philippine administration and the
war department, of which it is bu-

contributing to the production of
friction in Panama canal affairs have

Henry V. Lucas, a descendant OF
one of the Oldest families in st. Louis,
who lost his fortune about twenty
years ago trying to promote the Union
Baseball association, of which he vast
president has been appointed to an in
spectorship in the st. Louis street de,
partment at a salary of S75 month.
At one time he was worth S1,500,000.
In the palmy days of the Union asso-
citation Mr.. Lucas owned one of the
greatest ball clubs that was ever
brought together. The Union associa-
ton was organized as a rival OF the
National league and for several years
it maintained clubs in eight of the
most prominent cities of the country.
Fortune went against him. While he
made money in ST. Louis he was called
upon frequently to help other clubs,
which broke up the league finally.

Friday Columbus sailed from Spain,

and arrived safely there; the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth rock,
George Washington was born, Sarato-
ga and Yorktown surrendered and the
decisive motion for independence was
carried in congress. 1t would almost

pressly designed To reverse the super
stitions of the old world. Were not

inclined women. One day an elderly
female carrying a neat basket sat down
beside Tanner and talked religion to
him while he thought of the delicacies
in the basket. At length she lifted
the lid and took therefrom tract on
the evils of dancing, which she handed
to the patient. Tanner looked 1t over
and then said earnestly: Il give you

Major William R. Wetmore, a mil
lionaire resident of Allenhurst, N. j..
and the Oldest member of the New
York Yacht club, has contrived a
scheme whereby he can keep in direct
communication with his brokers in
Wall street while he tours the New
Jersey roads in his automobile. A
wireless telegraph instrument has
been placed in the tonneau; another is
in the railway station at Allenhurst
There, the station-master receives
messages by wire from New York and
transmits them by wireless to Major
Wetmore. The instrument will trans
NIT a distance of twenty miles and it
is seldom that Major Wetmore goes
farther than this in his automobile.
| Before he perfected the wireless ar
rangement he was reluctant to travel
far. Now he feels no hesitancy in
staying out on the road in his machine
all day, for he can give any order he
wishes to his brokers.

Washington. Jan. 23.-After a con.
sultation with Secretary Hay the fol.
lowing statement regarding the Stu.
alton in Santo Domingo was issued
by Assistant Secretary LOOMS:
''The Dominican republic, after ma.
ture consideration of existing condi
tions, has formally and freely invited
the government of the United States
to assist it in the administration of
its customs revenues and to aid it in
putting its fiscal system upon firm
and business-like basis. The govern
ment of the United States having
been repeatedly and emphatically in,
formed by more than one of the great
powers that it ought either to try to
evolve some order out of the financial
chaos in the Dominican republic or
assent to certain European creditors
of that republic doing this and to
the administration of the Dominican
custom houses by them, supported by
their warships, has deemed it advis-
able, in view Of the unfortunate finan-
cial conditions in Santo Domingo,
which for the last ten years have been
rapidly growing worse, to accept the
invitation of the Dominican govern
ment and, therefore, representatives
of this government and of Santo Do
mingo have signed a memorandum of
proposed agreement looking to the
American control of fiscal affairs upon
the request and with the consent of
the Dominican government. The
United States proposes to guarantee
the territorial integrity of the Do
minican republic. 1t is not the pur-
pose of this government to assume
protectorate over Santo Domingo
or to interfere with or participate in
its domestic affairs any further than
the collection of it's customs revenues,
the necessary revision of it's tariff
laws and the adjustment, through
properly constituted tribunals, or
commissions of it's foreign claims and
put it's economic and fiscal organiza-
ton on a sound basis"

have been murdered several years
ago by H. H. Holmes. who was after
wards hanged in Philadelphia. De
tectives working on the case Of John
Hook, accused by his wife Of poison
ing her sister two days before his
marriage to herself, have come to the
conclusion that Hook is mono other
than the janitor who suddenly disap-
peared after testifying in behalf OF
Holmes, when the latter was being
tried on murder charge. Hook an
swers the description Of the missing
hnitor in every detail and a deter
mined effort is being made to accom-
plish his capture. According to the
police, Hook is still in Chicago and
it is only.a matter OF few hours
before he will be under arrest. Three
more women, the police declare, were
married to Hook, but after living with
him for few weeks died, after which
he disappeared in the same manner as
he did after marrying Mrs. Emeline
Fischer, g few days ago.

Panic in Alliance Theater

Alliance, Neb., Jan. Through

Pheland opera house, which resulted
in panic among an audience com

for few minutes. AS it was, several

jumped from this distance, but was
not seriously hurt.
