BOER OWNED
DIAMOND FARM
Sold Premier Mine For Compare
lively Small Sum

Will jefferson NJ. Levy, former Con
gressu II, capitalist and owner Of Mon
ticello, be the diamond king Of A, r~:ca /:
Will his ownership of large share of
the great Preulic: tiamrrd mira OF the
Transvaal. from which a 3O82-karat
stone was taken a few days ago, make
the New Yorker a rival Of the late Ceci!
Rhodes, of Barney Bernato and Of the
Bets2
Mr.. Levy does not say, but he ,loee, ad-
nit that luck has sh0wered wealth upon
him from an unexpected source. which
may exceed the wildes1 dreams OF his
fancy.
And it seems to have been Il matter of
luck after all. Mr.. Levy concedes that
he made his Investments in the mine
with little thought Of gathering millions
from his investment and that for a long
time after he bought HE shaIev-how
many he will not say-he let them lie
forgotten in q safety deposit vault, till
he awoke one day to a realization of the
fact that he had struck luck"
The history Of the Premier mine, In
which Mr.. Levy is Interested, reads like
a romance. Two years ago it was q
sun-baked Trsnsvaal farm, from which
The Bner owner struggled to wrest a
bare living. He WINS a simple-hea rted
Boer named E'rinslDo, who hated the
English as nearly all good Beers do and
who, in his stoid, plodding way, never
dreamed of the possibility Of the great
wealth which lay beneath his feet.
At last--in the latter part Of 1902
he awoke to Il vision of wealth. Some
Englishmen who had been prospecting
secretly appeared and said they would
like to buy his land.
st isn't of any great value as farm"
one Of them said. indifferently, but we
are making some experiments, and your
land is just what We need for our pur-
pose. We will give you 10000 for it,
and that il a great price
The Boer farmer looked at them mar
ruwly and walked away. To him it was
a great deA of money. but the farm
yielded E living, such az it was, and so
he thrust the offer aside.
Then the Englishmrn called him back.
Well make it f55,0O0." they said,
land that Is the limit of our offer
Bring me your gold" was the curt
reply, and the farm PASSED into the
hands of his despised political enemies.
Prinssco chuckled when he told his
Dutch nrighbors Of the Shrewd bargain
he had driven with the Outknders.
Soon the buyers OF the farm chartered
the Premier Diamond Mining Company,
and set to WORK. Within six months
they had won back the purchase cost of
the farm. Today they are realizing Il
profit of SJOO.OOO month. and within Il
year. they declare, the annual net in
come to the owners will be S12,O00,0O0.
And all this in spite of the fact that
they are forced by II law, enacted since
the British wrcStcd the country from
the Beers, to pay 60 per cent. of their
income into the Treasury of the Trans
vaal Colonial Government. The income
frDm this source alone ~ one-fourth of
the entire budget of the colony. 1t eX-
cccdS the income to the State Of all the
famous gold reefs Of the Rand.-New

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.


Washington. ID. c., Feb. 4. 1868.
President Roosevelt. who has among
many other freely expressed convictions
that of regarding 10 time like the pres
cnt for work. may yet decide that an
extra session of Congress in the spring
for lcgislating on the railway rate uucs-
ton will be advisable. The general i'm
preston hHGs been that extra session
would Rot ho called before the early a,l-
tumn. but no rne realizes more. kecnly
than the President how nSistrnt the
country has become in its demand that
"1mt thing should he done. and quickly.
in the matter II the extra session is
postponed until fall the result will be
more killing of time. and Possible post
pOncmcnt Of action for another ycar.
Persons interested in the proposition
IL authorize the Interstate Commerce
Commission to fix railroad rates view
with alarm the delay that is likely to
take place before any Legislation can be
effected. With every week of delay the
pressure on Congress from outside
sources increases and the problem OF
legislation grows 'nrreSpondingly more
complex. The New York Chamber Of
Commerce, one of the wealthioSt and
most powerful organizations in the Unit
ed States has opposed the proposition to
enlarge the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to fix rates for the
railroads and in Iowa the Farmers AL
lance have hanged in effigy Congress
man Hepburn because of his attitude on
the question. Washington is overrun
with representatives of the various rail
roads and also the agents Of great in
dustrial companies all using the most
powerful influence, against and for the
rate bill. Thus il will be seen that
many cooks are helping To make broth
which is likely to be spoiled ar burned
altogether. Congrt a,men who keep their
otic American cannot deny that there
are many such, And themselves cruelty
confused by the various demands. The
President, who has been eager for the
Senate to act upon rate legislation at
this SESSION. has ueverthele acceded to
their statement that il would he imp,ss-
sible and he had made his official and
ira session in October. but realizing the
importance of pushing the matter right
through il may be that he will sacrifice
his personal convenience and decide upon
a spring seesiUn.

 Transportation Scheme.

Chicago, Sept 2-The Record-Her. aid to-day says: Continuous trolley rides from Chicago to New York over two routes. and between Chicago and Cincinnati, are among the transporta- tion probabilities of the near future.

STRANGE
 INCIDENT Immigration Law Was Stopped.
Young Irishmen About to Re Reported Saved by His Own Prayers and En. treaties.

New York, Sept 2.-The machinery Of the immigration law at this. port
 has been stopped in the case of a young Irishman who has been ordered sent back to his island home because l he IS suffering from tuberculosis. This unusual procedure was taken so that the mans brother. en route from In d1anapolis, might see him for the first and probably last time.
 Patrick Kilroy. a well to do Irish man. who for nearly a uaarter of a century has. made his home in North salem Ind. decided few weeks ago that the Innate of Indiana was the thing to restore the health of his son. Thomas, whom he left in Ireland when ne came to the United States in the early eighties. Accordingly he sent a check to his son to cover the young mans expenses across the ocean. He also wrote that Thomas would be met at the Indianapolis station by his brothers and sisters. several of whom he had never seen.
 Young Kilroy arrived in New York last Sunday morning on the Celtic. The marine hospital doctors. who boarded the Celtic at Quarantine. soon took notice of his condition and he was ordered deported. according to the law, on the first available ship of the line which brought him in. This happened to be the Celtic.
 Thursday afternoon Kilrov was or dered to prepare for the voyage Fri day morning. A few minutes later telegram arrived from Kilr0y's broth CT, who said that although he was coming east on the fastest train he could get. he would be unable to reach New York until fifteen minutes after the Celtic sailed. Thomas pleaded with the inspectors to be allowed to remain until the next sailing. They were much affected by the unusual na- ture of the case and telephoned me steamship company's officials. The lat ter agreed to foot the bill and Kilroy was allowed to remain behind few days. His brother arrived at Ellis Is- land Friday

WILL PAY 75 PER CENT.
Receiver Stevick Has Reported to
 District Court.

Denver, Col, Sept 2.-Receiver Ste wick. of the suspended Denver Savings bank, has reported to the district court on the condition of the bank He believes that the assets of the bank will pay 75 per cent of deposi- tors claims and asks authority to de- clare a divident of ten per cent at once. The report reads in part:
 T am convinced that during the past few months the affairs of tie bank have been conducted in gross and wiIful violation of the banking laws of the state. Loans have been made to persons associated with and to companies offieered by the same persons who made the loans as officers of the Denver aSyings bank. and such loans were made either without any collateral or upon collateral which was only a fiinsy pretext."

 The article relating to Sakhalin will be in accordance with the original agreement as given in the Associated Press dispatches Tuesday night, name ly, mutual obligation not to fortlfy Sakhalin and obligation on the part of Japan not to fortify La Porouse straits.
