EMPEROR HELD
UP BY ROBBERS
Special to The journal.

Budapest, Dec. 22.-The Emperor
Franz Josef had an Unusual adven-
ture tie other day while walking in
the Gardens Of the Hofburg as ear
ly as six o'clock in the morning.
His majesty was accosted by two
men who pretended to be veterans
of the campaign of 1913. One of
them asked for the emperOr's pencil
with which he wrote an order for
$3.50 The emperor then signed it
and sent 4 servant 70 fetch the
money.
The veterans grew nervous, how
ever, and suddenly bolted out of the
garden. The emperor who was great
ly upset by the incident called an
aide-de-camp who secured the arrest
of the two men shortly afterwards.
/ They proved to be well known
rogues aged respectively thirty-two
and forty-seyen. They wore false
boards to enable them to disguise
themselves and to make them look
! like veterans.

CAMPAIGN IN
TRANsVAAL
Beers Anxious that Power
Lost in War Be Regain
ed in Politics.

johannesburg, Dec 22-At last the
political campaign in the Transvaal
may be said to have opened. The
preliminary maneuvering has taken
an unscicnable time, but the forces
are now fairly in position. True the
army of Hot Volk has not reached
the ground, but the sympathies of its
| leaders are so we'll known that no
one doubts upon which side its forces
will be ranged up.
In the meantime the Boer generals
observe "a. discreet silence regarding
their plans There is reason to be-
lieve that no orders will be issued
until practically on the eve of the
! fight. But drilling is quietly and Wig
ously going on. The Boer electors
will march to the political battlefield
ready to the last shoulder strap. The
| ideal which animates them is unmis-
! taxable. The power lost in war is 10
be regained in politics. BY keeping
the British divided and maintaining
machine-like unity in their own
ranks the Dutch leaders figure they
can hold the balance of power in their
hands once again.
The contest is something more than
struggle over an industry. Getting
down to bed rock il must 10 a large
extent decide the place South Africa
will take in the empire. Probably the
Bond will win the next election at
the Cape, certainly the Unie will DOM
mate the Orange River Colony: the
odds are that Hot VoIk will hold the
balance of power north Of the Vaal.
Thus right through the center OF
South Africa will be driven a wedge
of Dutch governments, Dutch insti-
buttons, Dutch ideals

the Pope. Things might roll to such
shape even that another revolution
could be forced upon France by some
political adventurer as the result of
the agitation now going on but no
person with any range of vision be-
lieves that any combination of circum-
stances can for generations make
France anything except Catholic
country. Even though many of the
men are at times likely to break away
from the old faith the women are like
ly to remain loyal.
Some of the clerical newspapers Of
Italy are printing the most violent
attacks against NJ. Clemenceau and
in fact against the entire French gov
eminent. OF NJ Clemenceau it is
alleged that he has violated the laws
of God and man and that in any civil
lized country he would long ago have
been driven from public life. This
will show how bitter the fight has
become in a personal sense, though
as tbe old saying goes Hard words
break no bones" and it is difficult to
see what church papers in country
like Italy hope to gain by attacks lev
eIed against a foreign country like
France where another language is
spoken.

the French government by the Cath

ADVANCES

THE PRACTICE, IN VIEW OF
PEoNAGE TRIALS, is CoNSID-
Erred DANGEROUS.

The Jacksonville Industrial Record
SAYS;
The Record has repeatedly called
lie attention of its readers, and eS-
lecflly those who are engaged in the
manufacture OF lumber and naval
/ stores to the danger Of advancing to
laborers because OF the peonage laws
| and the policy of the government to
. Uorce these laws vigorously in this
part of the United States.
From the developments of the past
several weeks it is evident that the
/ prosecution of cases of this character
have only commenced and that there
are others who are liable 10 be
brought before the United States
court on this charge. 1t does not re-
Gujro any distant steps from the or
binary treatment of laborers to justi-
II the government in lodging this
charge against an employer. There
IS but little to this peonage law, and
those who advance money to their
hands are in great danger of having
the charge brought against them. The
very first prerequisite to the estab-
Iishment of peonage charge is this
matter OF indebtedness. That is why

money to their hands are in danger.

JOHN GARRISON.
Notable Exploit of the Once Great
Pitcher.

There is plenty of comment going the
rounds now Oh the nee great pitcher,
John Clarkson, since his recent misfor-
tune and commitment TO II Michigan
asylum. There is one feature of the
work in that great season of 1889,
which, however. GEMS TO have been
overlooked. The schedule that year
was IL of 40 games. and Clarkson
pitched in over half of the schedule
for Boston. officiating in seventy-two
games. forty-siX of which were victo-
ries, nineteen defeats, two ties, two
which he finished for another pitcher
and no record of Il defeat or victory
credited against him. Keefe of New
York was the mex pitcher in number
of games, he having Otticiated in forty
one contests. The record of Clarkson
leading the league and having pitched
in over half of the games of the sched-
ule has never been duplicated since
that memorable year. For a pitcher to
otticiate in fifty games is now a rare
occurrence indeed.
