ENGLAND BACKS OUT,
Shows a Willingness to Ar
bitrate on Venezuela,
SHE BUYS DELOGOA BAY,
And the African Situation Becomes
More Critical.
London, .Inn. 10. The movement
In favor of arbitrating the Vonezcr.
lan question with the. United States
Is growing day by day. There Is a
decided change of sentiment there.
The unbending antagonism to arbi
trate the Venezeulan boundary dis
pute which was at first shown In high
circles, hns almost completely dlsap
pcaied, and matters look much more
satisfactory than they have at any
time since the dispute commenced.
Ciiicaqo, Jan. 11). A special to the
Journal from Washington says:
"Tim entMirt tl.t.t 1,- TI..L l,.l. .. w.
strengthening their outposts In Ven
ezuela and advancing Into Venezuela
Is true. I have myself received today
a private dispatch from there corrobor
ating It," so said Congressman Living
ston, of Georgia, this afternoon. Ho
added:
Q"I cannot show you the dispatch; It
Isnprlvatc. You can, however, rely
on It. I called on tho Vcuczuelan
minister this morning and asked him
to uso his inlluenco with Crespo to
keep back the Venezuelan troops.
Should they advance It would precipi
tate a conlllct at once. That would
render our Venezuelan commission
useless. Wo would bo controlled to
back up Venezuela, and we would
bo plunged Into war at once."
DKLAQOA HAY TKOUHLK.
London, Jan. 10. The most Impor
ant development In South African
speculation today is the fact that In
spite of all denials it Is now belloved
in many quarters that there Is somo
truth In tho rumor that Great Brltlan
has purchased Delagoa bay from
Portugal. Ah It Is announced that
tho government of tho Transvaal has
demanded, among other things that
Great Brltlan forego her right to ob
tain possession of Dclngoa bay, and as
Germany may look upon this as a
move which will seriously threaten
the future of the Transvaal situation,
If the report Is true, matters will be
come more critical.
AKRESTED FOIl TREASON.
JonANNSiiuna, Jan. 10. Twenty
two members of the reform committee
Including Colonel Rhodes, a brother
of Cecil Itholes.SlrDrummond Dunbar
Lionel Philips and Dr. D. Sauer
were arrested at their club last even
ing, on charge of high treason, and
convoyed under an escort to Pretoria.
Perfect 'quiet prevails here. Tho
populace Is Indifferent. Tho Ultland
ors are disarming.
London, Jan. 10. Tho chances of
war between Great Britain and Ger
many are looked upon as remotc,thcro
being a decided tono of back down In
the utterances of the German press
toward Great Britain.
The Pall Mall Gjizetto says: "Stops
were taken In tho highest quarters to
obtain by family Influence a full
explanation from Emperor William,
and the communications which
passed have done more than anything
to bring about a change of tone In the
German olllcial press toward Great
Britain. German iiew8papcrs,ofllclal,
scml-otllcial and hostile, are tumbling
over one another In their anxiety to
explain that tho tension of relations
was tho fault of England."
The receipt of a dispatch from Pre
toria, announcing tho extreme de
mands of tho South African republlo
for the surrender of all British rights
and suzerainty, etc., over Transvaal
and Delagoa bay, however, has again
changed the complexion of allalrs.
Meantime there Is little or no abate
merit of the nntl-Gcrmnti feeling here.
At n meeting of tho London radical
federation hero today u resolulon was
passed demanding tho removal of
jrcmpcror iiiinui irnm me nriiisn
army and naval list.". j
A' baseless report that the oiileers of i
tho I'M rut Dragoons, In garrison at
Dublin, or which Emperor William
was made honorary colonel by Queen
Victoria, had burned his majesty In
ctllgy, was received with cheering.
Tho colonel of the First Dragoons
yesterday afternoon telegraphed that
there Is no ground for this story. It
Is said that before tho receipt of this
olllcial denial the German ambassador,
Count von Ilatzfcldt Wlldenhurg,
made representations on the subject
to the Marquis of Salisbury, asking to
bo informed as to the truth of tho re
port. At the foreign oillce yesterday utter
noon the dispatch spying that the
Doers demanded tlic'baushment 'of
Mr. Rhodes from Afrlcit and thonban
donmentof thorightsof Gccat Britain
regarding the Transvaal and Delagoa
bay were discredited on the grounds
that Sir Hercules Robinson, governor
of Cape Colony, In hldlspatches to
the colonial oillce made ho mention of
any such demands or indentions.
NO TRUTH IfklT.
Nkw Youtc, Jan. Ol.-Un reply to a
, Jan. 01.4lii re
cablegram of Inquiry nstto the stories
sent from London that y'ecil Rhodes,
until lately premier of Capo Colony,
had started, or was about to start a
movement for tho organization of a
vast Independent republic in South
Africa, the World has received tho
following cablegram from Capo tewn:
'No truth in the report of tho
action attributed to Mr. Rhodes,'
Tho dispatches havo already told of
Mr. Rhodes' resignation as premier,
but the olllco Is tilled by one of his
lieutenants, and Londonvc6ntlhues to
gossip about Mr. Rhodes' dictatorial
attitude and -the possibilities of his
making use of It to separate South
Africa from the British empire.
UPHOLD TIIKIK KMI'KROK.
Bkrlin, Jan 10. The rcichstag re

tho bourse reform bill. Count von
jinnrtz, too agrarian render, in re
marks on the subject, referred to tho

energetic attitude of tho Imperial
government In defenso of tho interests
of tho German people and German
empire abroad met with universal
approval. This remark was greeted
with loud applause.

Bouldku, Jan. 10. Intense ex
citement prevails In this city over tho
new gold Melds situated at South
Boulder creek and Magnolia, and there
are rumors of riches being uncovered
by prospectors In holes not even tlvo
feet deop. Tho strike is alleged to
bo worth $100,000, and nu offer of this
amount Is said to havo been mado
and refused.
Frank D. Baker came down from
Walker's ranch, and reports that sev
eral sacks of quartz had been sent to
tho sampling works from tho claim
discovered by tho White brothors.
Tho gold was sticking out all over tho
quartz, and no accurate estimate
could be formed of tho valuo of tho
stuff, but It will l)e sold by tho pound
Instead of ton. Tho panuings mado
from the ore aro said to Iks wonderful,
as great rings of gold form around tho
pan with each test of washing.
The prospectors aro wild over tho
outlook for a great mining boom, and
600 men aro working night and day
In search of veins.
Tho now gold discoveries are on tiro
same mineral belt as the rich tellurldo
mines of Ballarat, Jamestown, Gold
Hill, Sunshine and Magnolia. In each
of these districts mineral has !cen
uncovered at tho grass roots.

IhtOWNHViUiH, Jan. 8.-Having
seen a statement, made by the Foxes
now In Jail at Albany for burglarizing
stolen at ('rawfinlsvlln, that my Into
son nnd the elder .Nfontgomery had a
dltliculty at a school meeting, I wish
to state that there Is not one word of
truth In It. My son and Montgomery
lived Indifferent school districts, and
never met at a school moot lug In their
lives, as Is well known here and in tho
district In which Montgomery lived.
I wish nlsu to state that my son had
Jjjt tho Montgomery from want for
somo time by furnishing them flour
when they could not got It nnywhoio
else, They were to pay him when
they sold their hops, so he called In to
their place ,on his nay homo tho
evening that he was murdered, as
they had sold their hops and were to
pay him.
So far as young Montompry Is con
corned. It is very painful for me to
mention hir name, and it makes hu
manity shudder to think of such a
fearful crime. H Is quite evident
that he has not told the truth yet.

It will lo .seen that fur the period of
the eight preceding years, theavenigc
levy was about four and one-half
mills.
Each alternate year there Is a high
and low levy. This was the hlghyear
followli g a session of the legislature,
and the levy Is as low as could bo ex
acted. It Is cause for congratulation
that the state board found 103,35W.38
surplus or unexpended taxes of I8(K1 to
deduct front their estimates for 18M.
It Is to be hoped tho board has levied
no such surplus this year, to lie Idle
In the slate treasury. It Is believed
they have dono their work very well.
AN EIGHT MILL TAX.
With tho reductions that are pro
posed to bo mado by tho city council
there Is somo hopo the city can get
along with an 8 mill tax, If this can
bo done, by all means let It bo done.
The streets, alleys and sidewalks
should bo kept In repair without any
drafts on tho general revenue. Tho
duties of street commissioner should
Iio confined strictly to tho poll nnd
and road tax fund, and his salary paid
out of that fund. If thcro Is no
money for street work In tho general
fund thcro should bo none there for
a thousand dollar olllcial, nnd accord
ing to tho mayor's messago tho olllcial
without funds cannot keep up the
streets.
Tho creation of n now ward with
two new aldermen will only Increase
city expenses. Beforo tho now ward
Is created thcro should bo given somo
reasons why It should bo done. So far
none havo been offered. At present It
looks llko a political scheme.
