BRITISH MAY BE FORCED TO FIGHT KRUGER
English Have Exhausted All Diplomacy In Attempting To Amicably
Settle Affairs In the Transvaal.
MAY BE COMPELLED FINALLY TO RESORT TO FORCE
Present Situation In South Africa Is By No Means of a Reassuring
Nature, and An Outbreak May Be Expected At Any Time.
The morning papers of London are
beginning to talk quite seriously of
the possibility of war in south Africa.
Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, in his speech in the
house of commons Thursday, an
nounced that his reply to the petition
of the Uitlanders which had been held
back pending the result of the confer
ence at Bloemfontein, would now be
presented to the Transvaal.
This reply is semi-officially describ
ed as “explicit but conciliatory,” but
it is believed to be in the nature of a
practical ultimatum. The resources
of diplomacy are regarded as exhaust
ed with the failure of the conference.
Nothing is left, it is felt, but a re
course to force.
The Daily Mail says it learns that
it was President Kruger himself who
suggested the conference,and it claims
to have reliable authority for declaring
that Sir Alfred Milner, the British
high commissioner, has his back to the
wall and is supported to the utmost
by the cabinet.
Commenting editorially on the sit
uation, The Daily Mail says:
“If we know onr Kruger aright, he
will back down, and if not, why—.”
The Daily Chronicle deprecates Mr.
Chamberlin’s warlike attitude, but
does not deny the gravity of the situa
tion and seriously counsels the Boers
to grant reasonable reforms, “as the
only means,of preserving their inde
pendence of the plots against the
stock exchange and the violence of
Downing street.”
The Standard, which reminds the
Transvaal that its independence is not
absolute, but is contingent on a faith
ful execution of the agreement stipu
lating equal rights for all white inhab
itants, says:
“We now demand that all English
men resident in the Transvaal shall I#
treated with justice and President
Kruger may rest assured that the
whole country will support the gov
ernment in any measure required to
make this demand effective.”
The Times says:
“Let Mr. Kruger grant the Uitlan
ders full citizenship and the whole
question is ended. At present he only
offers a note of hand for a ridiculous
sum, payable many years hence, iu re
turn for our immediate abandonment
of all the legal rights wo now possess
for enforcing the payment of debts
long overdue.”
The Cape Town correspondent of
The Times says:
“At the close of the conference Mr.
Kruger declared that he was pleased
at the friendly way in which matters
had been discussed and hoped they
would understand each other better in
future.” *
BARROWS ARE ARRAIGNED.
Both Are Remanded To the Tombs In
. New York Under Heavy Bail.
George and Addie Barrows, who are
accused of kidnaping Marion Clark,
were brought to New York from New’
City Thursday and were taken to po
lice headquarters.
Bell Anderson, alias Carrie Jones,
was taken to police headquarters soon
after the arrival of the Barrows.
The Barrows and Carrie Jones were
arraigned before Justice Fursman.
Before pleading, Attorney Howes said
that counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Barrows
had had do notice of the arraignment
of his clients and had asked him,
Howe, to have pleadings deferred until
Friday. Justice Fursman ordered a
plea of not guilty to be entered in each
case with leave to withdraw and demur.
Bail in each case was fixed at SIO,OOO. j
Former Assistant District Attorney
Davis was assigned as counsel for
Carrie Jones. The prisoners were
then taken to the Toombs.
WILL BENEFIT FRUIT MEN.
A New Rule Requires That Freight
Shall Be Paid In Advance.
A New York dispatch says: Most of
the roads in the Central Freight Asso
ciation have abrogated the rule gov
erning the transportation of fruit,
melons and other perishable freight
from the south by which the freight
charges were prepaid, delivering com
panies being held responsible for dam
age claims after their establishment
and the amount prorated among the
lines sharing in the haul.
This is due to the fact that deliver
ing companies have been compelled ta
pay the claims and then found it diffi
cult to collect from the other lines.
GRANT BELL
NOT GOUTY
Such Was the Verdict of Twelve
Conscientious Jurymen.
THE PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED
End of a Most Sensational Trial
In Georgia Court.
At Cedartown, Ga., Thursday after
noon, the jury in the case of Grant
Bell, colored, charged with assaulting
Mrs. Susan Lumpkin, returned a ver
dict of not guilty. The jury had been
out over twenty-eight hours and the
opinion prevailed that a mistrial would
result. In the meantime feeling and
excitement were dying down and the
public rapidly drew its own conclu
sions as to the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner.
The failure of Mrs. Lumpkin to
positively identify the negro at the
time of the assault proved the salva
tion of Grant Bell.
Nine-tenths of those who heard the
testimony and know all the parties
accept the jury’s conclusion as a right
eous verdict.
The first ballot with the jury stood
seven for acquittal to five for convic
tion in some form. The second bal
lot was ten to two and the third and
last ballot was the verdict.
When the jury announced that they
were ready to deliver a verdict, Judge
Janes, desiring to protect the negro
from the possibility of any form of
mob violence, quietly directed Sheriff
Crocker to spirit the negro out of
town to a place of safety.
A swift horse was procured, and a
trusted officer drove quietly to the rear
of the jail, as the strong guard lounged
idly on the front porch of the jail to
prevent the possibility of trouble. All
unknown to the town, then peacefully
awaiting the jury’s verdict, the de
fenseless negro, liberated by a verdict
of twelve men, was putting miles be
tween him and Cedartown toward the
Alabama state line, just seven mile*
away.
The jury’s verdict was received in
the presence of only the lawyers in
the case and a few individuals. Judge
| Janes thanked the twelve men for their
excellent course throughout the trial
and assured them that the public
would accept the conclusion as a con
scientious deliberation.
Thus closed the most intensely ex
citing courthouse drama ever enacted
in Polk oounty and the conduct of the
people throughout the trying ordeal is
certainly a tribute to their self-control
and conservatism.
BLAND IS DYINO.
Dispatches From Lebanon, Ho., Say
His Condition Is Hopeless.
A special from Lebanon, Mo., stated
that at 10 o’clock Thursday night M>.
Bland appeared somewhat brighter
and would probably live through the
night. He had been speechless for
twenty-four hours. The physicians
regard the case as hopeless and have
so informed the family.
All of bis family are at the dying
man’s bedside except his brother,
Judge C. C. Bland, of the St. Louis
court of appeals, who has boen tele

Filipino Congress Dissolved.
Special dispatches received in Lon

that Agninaldo has dissolved the Fili

self dictator.
CONSOLIDATE RICE FARfIS.
Syndicate With Big Capital Are After
Georgia Coast Lands.
An eastern syndicate is the prime
mover, in which is George C. Baldwin,
of New York, after Georgia rice plant
ing interests. The company is to be
formed, says Baldwin, with a capital
of $1,000,000 to consolidate the rice
farms of Georgia.
A levee is to be constructed twenty
miles long to protect the crops during
the harvest season from heavy storms
and floods. Four hundred thousand
dollars’ worth of bonds will be issued.
The planters approached appear to
be desirous of furthering the scheme,
it is said.
