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.
