AN UPRISING FEARED
TRANSVAAL BORDERS BECOMING
SUSPICIOUSLY PANICKY.
The Native. Are Unpleasantly Busy
Buluwayo Thought in Palpable
Danger Because of Possible Cutting
off of Food Supplies.
Capetown, April 16. Newshasbeen
received here that the natives are pre'
paring to rise along the Transvaal bor
der. A rising in Northern Transvaal
itself is also reported to be imminent
There is something of a panio among
the burghers, who have appealed for
arms with which to protect tnemselves.
The threatened spread of the disturb'
anoe along the Transvaal border makes
the situation at Buluwayo and in Mat-
abele muoh more serious. The author
ities have felt that Buluwayo was rea
sonalby safe if the food supply should
hold out, but the danger has been that
the Matabeles would stop the wagon
roads through the Matopo hills and to
the south, and thus prevent supplies
from getting through Mafeking. It is
believed that the white settlers scat
tered thorugh Matabeleland, are in
plaoes of safety by this time, in Bulu
wayo or Gwelo, and the missionaries
do not feel that they run any risk from
the natives, to whom they are known,
though there might be danger from
strange wandering bands.
Only a part of the 500 reinforce
ments designed for Buluwayo have
been dispatched from Mafeking, the
nearest point available for that pur
pose. It takes four weeks' hard trav
eling by ox wagons to reaoh Buluwayo
from there, and it is said the journey
cannot be made in that time exoept
with very light loads. Transportation
of supplies and ammunition, whioh are
needed at this time in Matabeleland,
must therefore be slow, and a new de
velopment in the situation threatens to
out off, or at least to interrupt, com
munication between Buluwayo and the
only BQuroe to whioh it can look for a
renewal of its supplies.
' ' f Havana Is Pleased.
New York, April 16. A special to
the World from Havana says: "At
the palaoe, tidings of the ooming of
General Fitzhugh Lee as consul-general
were received with marked favor.
Advices have already reached ' here
from good authority in the United
States on the subjeot. The general be
lief in offioial circles is that the ap
pointment of so distinguished a soldier
means more than the filling of a consu
late. It has been understood here that
President Cleveland has considered the
subjeot of a commission, but that he
has not publioly mentioned the matter,
the understanding being that, regard
less of how the Spanish government
might view the subjeot, it would not
be agreeable to the Spanish people.
President Cleveland has avoided the
unpleasant question in a successful and
diplomatic manner by selecting a bril
liant and honorable soldier, such as
Lee is known to be, and sending him
to Havana under ciroumstanoes that
oannot offend publio sensibilities."
An Insane Act.
I Elgin, 111., April 16. Mary Linnet,
of Chicago, shot and instantly killed
Elizabeth Trowbridge, a prominent
young lady of this oity, and then killed
herself, last evening. The murderess
was a fomer patient at the insane asy
lum, and was discharged as oured in
December. Miss Trowbridge was her
attendant, and she had oonoeived a
passionate affection for her. She came
here yesterday to induce Miss Trow
bridge to return to Chioago to live
with her. Miss Trowbridge could not
be induoed to do this, and the gril de
termined to kill her friend and herself
rather than be separated. Miss Linnet
was 18 years of age, and about two
years ago tried to kill a girl friend in
Chioago, for whom she had an unnat
ural affection. Miss Trowbridge was
25 years old, and a niece of Judge
David Sherwood, of this oity. . .
To Cross the Atlantic
New York, April 16. Frank and
Tony Charleson, of Brooklyn, have
launohed a 20-foot sloop in the Boat
men's slip, at the Battery. The sloop
was completed at Nyaok, N. Y. , a few
days ago. It is built of oak and cedar,
and the two brothers intend to attempt
a voyage from this port to Southamp
ton in her. They will start May 27.
The sloop, whioh will be known as the
"Two Brothers," will carry 145 gal
lons of water in four ballast tanks and
provisions for 110 days. She is self
righting and non-sinkable. A feature
of the sloop is her mainmast, whioh is
rigged on a pivot at the base, so as to
fold down lengthwise over the stern in
case it should be necessary to reduoe
the tophamper in that way.
" Riot Among Laborers.
New York, April 16. A dispatch
to the Herald from Panama, Colombia,
says: A riot ooourred at La Boca
Monday among a body of laborers em
ployed on the canal. One man and one
woman were killed, and many were
wounded. The troops were called out
to suppress the riot . The woman who
lost her life was the wife of the mur
dered man. She attempted to wrest a
bayonet from the hands of a soldier,
and received a thrust which killed her
instantly.
DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
Routine Work of the Fifty-Fourth Ses
sionSenate.
Washington, April 13. In the sen
ate today Call stated that, inquiries
had been made of him by Eugene V.
Debs, and other labor leaders, as to
whether the senate judioiary oommit
tee was taking any lotion in restric
tion of the power of federal judges.
Hoar, chairman of the judioiary com
mittee, sa d all the members believed
some comprehensive legislation in this
line was needed, and several plans
were under consideration.: Mitchell,
of Oregon, reported a resolution provid
ing for the payment of the salaries of
Senators Mantle, of Montana, and
Clark, of Wyoming, from March 4,
1898, the date when the senatorial
seats of those states became vaoant
Call presented a joint resolution om-
erning the imprisonment of Mrs. May-
brick, requesting the president to inter'
vene with the British authorities to
wards seouring her release. After eon'
siderable debate the resolution went
to the judioiary oommittee.
Washington, April 15. In the sen
ate Hoar, from the oommittee on judio
iary, reported back Call's resolution
proposing intervention in the case of
Mrs. Maybriok. "I ask indefinite post
ponement of the resolution," said
Hoar. The report was read, and it re
cited briefly that the proposed inter
vention was not a - subjeot within the
jurisdiction of the senate. A vote was
about to be taken on indefinitely post
poning Call's resolution when Allen
suggested that it would be well to wait
until the author of the resolution was
present Thereupon the resolution
went to the oalendar. A lengthy dia-
oussion took plaoe over awarding the
contract for the Patent Office Gazette.
Cullom presented a ' partial agreement
from the conference committee on leg
islative, exeoutive and judicial appro
priation bills. Teller and Mitchell
presented the majority and the minor
ity views on the bankruptcy bill. Bur
rows was then recognized in support of
the olaim Of Dupont to a seat in the
senate. ;
Washington, April 16. It was made
apparent, after a lively colloquy in the
senate today, that there was no disposi
tion among the silver and populist
senators to allow the resolution for a
senate inquiry into the recent bond is
sue to relapse. By unanimous consent
it had been set for consideration at 2:15
today, but at that .time Mr. Chandler
was proceeding with a speech on the
Dupont case, Mr. Gray was waiting to
follow, and Mr. Cullom had an appro
priation bill in reserve. This preoipi-
tated a clash, in whioh Mr. Peffer, re-
infoioed by Mr. Woloott and Mr. Stew
art, asserted with emphasis that the
bond resolution oould not be crowded
out, either by design or inadvertenoe.
An agreement was finally reached to
the effeot that the bond resolutions
would come up immediately after
Chandler and Gray made their
eches. Mr. Squire made an elabor
ate presentation of the pressing need of
ooast defenses, pointing out the de
fenseless condition of our great sea-
ooasts harbors.
House.
Washington, April 15. The bouse
spent the day transacting business re
lating to the District of Columbia'.
Several bills were passed. It was the
intention of Bartlett to call up today
his bill to authorize racing in the Dis
trict of Columbia, but he was given no
opportunity to do so. It is said he will
ask unanimous consent for the consid
eration of the bill tomororw. Some
preliminary routine business was trans- j
aoted. A bill was passed to pay the
heirs of John Reuben, late United
States attorney for the middle distriot
of Tennessee, $295, being the balanoe
of compensation due him. The house
then proceeded with the consideration
of the distriot business. After passing
a number of distriot bills, the quorum
failed, and, at 4:80 the house ad-
ourned.
Wasihngton, April 16. The house
today passed, without amendment, the
fortifications appropriation bill, carry
ing appropriations and authoi izations
involving an expenditure of $11,884,-
618. The appropriations for fortifica
tions since the Endioott oommission, in
1886, reported its plan for the defense
of twenty-seven, seaports, at an ap
proximate oost of $100,000,000, have
averaged something over $2,000,000
annually. During the debate today
there were a number of referenoes to
our foreign complications and the
necessity of preparing for any possible
emergenoy. Only one voice was raised
against the passage of the bill. Mr.
Berry thought it would be wisdom to
build ships capable of coping with the
moBt powerful battle-ships of other na
tions, rather than erect fortifioations
on our seacoasts.
From the Home of the Blue Laws.
Washington, April 16. Senator
Piatt today introduced a bill to pro
hibit the transmission of reports of re
sults or bets on prizefights or raoes
from one state to another, and making
suoh transmission a misdemeanor, to
be punished by fine or imprisonment.
Carlyle was no friend of Turkish
tyranny, and the phrase "the unspeak
able Turk," so often attributed to Mr.
Gladstone, is really his.
