HER
GREAT NAVAL ACTIVITY.
file Situation in the Transvaal Has Improved and tlie Kitting Out of Her War Vessels Appears Wholly Unnecessary
Unless Some Secret Movement Is Con
templated. LONDON, Jan. 11.—(Copyrighted by
the Associated Press)—There is a feeling abroad iu London that there are many details of the complication into which the foreign affairs of the empire has been placed, which have not been published, and much speculation is indulged in by the public. So far a• official information goes the situation seems to be improved.
The ministry of the naval preparations occupies a large place in the public mind, and the conclusion arrived at by the attentive public after thus thinking it over is that the tremendous activity displayed, not only in the fitting out of the flying squadron, but in the rushing forward of work in the navyyards, arsenals and supply shops for war material, do not appear wholly necessary on account of the condition of relations with Germany. It is also felt that it is difficult to see what point the flying squadron, which together with the existing available squadrons, which it is proposed to join it, will form, it is said, the most powerful fleet of war vessels ever put afloat, is destined.
The situation in the Transvaal is undoubtedly greatly improved, and unless President Kruger has made extortionate demands, such as for the complete independence of his republic and freedom from the suzerainty of Great Britain, and lias received the support of Germany in favor of these demands, such a powerful fleet as is being prepared will not be .needed at Uelagoa bay. In fact, the whole future of South Africa now depends upon the nature of the demands made by President Kruger. whose response to the queen's message, addressed to him in the third person through Colonial Secretary Chamberlain is. to say the least, not ett'ussive. In fact, it virtually declares that the president will hold Dr. Jameson and the other members of his expedition who were taken with him as hostages for the disarmament of Johannesburg, whose time for grace for the surrender of the arms held by the uitlanders expired at (5 o'clock last evening. Those of the uitlanders who have not yielded their arms at that time are to be excluded from the amnesty to be granted to those who participated in the uprising.
The indemnity demanded by the Transvaal government from the Chartered South Africa company is variously stated at from £500,000 to £'3,000,000.
The statement circulated here yesterday that the admiralty had decided -upon the formation of a second special squadron, created a good deal of excitement when it was announced, but it was later officially denied.
Right Hon- .Toseph Chamberlain, secretaiVoi' sKite^i&i: the colonies, went to Osborne yesterday arid remained there over night.
Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, first lord of the admiralty, made a special visit- to Portsmouth and inspected the ships of the flying squadron and saw the guns of their armament worked The workmen at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth worked late last night by electric light for the fitting out of the ships of this squadi 11. It is expected that those at the Portsmouth dockyard will continue the work of preparation on Sunday.
It is announced that the government has ordered the stores of small arm cartridges to be increased from 60,000,000 to 150,000,000.
All, these preparations, of course. mean an enormous outlay of treasure. The wages of workmen alone are £80,000 above the usual expenditures. It is reported that the government, in order to meet this and further naval measures, will present a bill immediately when parliament opens to devote the surplus revenue over the present budget, chiefly arising from the remodeling of the death duties and to the activity in the stock
i.
market, and wThich it is expected will -amount to several million pounds, to v'- pay the expenses. I One effect of the present crisis has en to impress Englishmen with a •"..sense of the marvelous diplomatic scent of twl Kruger, the Boer president.
The adml Ation felt by Englishmen for the South Uiil-ican executive finds abundant expression, even in the face of the sharp rebuke he has administered to their policy and their hearty admiration •for Dr. Jameson. Sir Charles Dilke declared in a speech yesterday that President Kruger has few rivals among modern diplomats.

lomatic circleshero it is believed that an amicably solution of the Transvaal question is Only a question of days.
The warlike preparations made by England are regarded as a ridiculous demonstration to cover the inevitable check to her policy. The emperor styles them "Ruck-policy."
The precipitate extradition of Dr. Jameson causes surprise here. The Kreuz Zeitung asks against whom are the armaments of England directed, and expresses the opinion that England wishes to divert attention from Africa in order to snap up the Transvaal.
Reformers Arrested.
JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 11. Twentytwo members of the reform committee, including Colonel Rhodes, brother of Cecil Rhodes, Sir Drummond Dunbar, J\lr. Lionel Phillips and Dr. Sauer, were arrested at their club Thursday evening on the charge of high treason, and conveyed under escort to Pretoria. Perfect quiet prevails here."
Disarming Completed.
LONDON, Jan. 11.—The Times has a dispatch from Pretoria which says: "The disarming at Johannesburg has been completed without mishap and the Boer police now patrol the town. The crisis is practically ended, and orders have been issued for all Boer commands to proceed at once to Pretoria."
German War Vessel There. BERLIN, Jan. 11.—A telegram received
here frem Lorenzo Marques, Delagoa bay, announces that the German man-of-war Condor has arrived there.
SENSATION AT LOUISVILLE.
Forged Warehouse Receipts Discovered in the lie He of Nelson Failure. LOUISVILLE, Jan. 11.—The failure of
Bartley, Johnson & Company and the Belle of Nelson Distillery company is further complicated by the news that forged warehouse receipts to a large amount have turned up There has been an over-issue of warehouse receipts, which will amount to probably $100,000 or more, which has been made within .he past 18 months by David Bart-lej one of the members of the firm of Barti y, Johnson & Company, and secretary of the Belle of Nelson Distillery company. The revelations have been a surprise to his associates, and it will be some days before the assignee can make any statement about the matter.
Atilla Cox. president of the Columbia Finance company, the assignee, was asked for a statement, but declined to make any. but said that as far as the examination of the affairs of the company went, there were certain «facts which confirmed the belief that there had been an overissue of receipts, and that on this account, he was making every effort to get at all the facts by an examination of the government accounts of entries in bond, and a comparison of the receipts with these entries. When that comparison is furnished it will be possible to state exactly the condition of these securities.
Information from other sources is to the effect that none of these doubtful receipts have been placed with the trade, but used only as collateral for loans, and that of this collateral not over $70,000 is held by Louisville parties, and $35,000 in New" York and Chicago. The hope is still expressed by the firm that the assets will be sufficient to discharge all liabilities, including these receipts, originals and duplicates
These revelations have been a complete .surprise to Colonel Tilford, who for two years has given so much attention to his official duties as the head of the board of public safety, that- he was not familiar with the financial affairs of his company, save in a general way, and the responsibility seems to rest solely with David Bart-fey, who is now in New York, having left here three days ago.
TWO AMERICANS MISSING.
Since Going to Russia They Have Not Been Heard Of. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—A cable to The
Journal from Berlin says that a sensation has been created in the American colony of that city by the mysterious disappearance in Russia of two American citizens who were recently on a visit there. The names of the missing men are Homer Wilson, a banker of Canon City, Cal., who had an office in the Mills building, in San Francisco, and Professor Novi, formerly connected with a seminary in Kentucky, but who. of late years, has been a dealer in hardware in some part of the state of Washington. His wife lives in San Francisco.
The cable message states that Professor Novi is by birth a Russian nobleman, his real name being Novossiitceff Some time ago he inherited large estates in Russia. Having become an American citizen, he thought that an American passport would enable him to go to Russia and claim his fortune. He accordingly went there about three months ago. leaving his children in charge of his friend Wilson, who, after waiting two months, also started for Russia, to find out what became of the professor.
Foul play is suspected, as Count- Novi has relatives who want the estates to themselves One of these is the governor general of the province of Viina.

YEMJELA AFFAIRS.
Political Excitement Is Still'kt Fever Heat.
THE WAR SENTIMENT GROWING.
An Anti-English Manifestation at Valencia Results in Several People Being Injured. Newspapers Urging the Government to
Send Troops to the Front—Political Arrests Continue to Be Made. NEW YORK, Jan. ll.—The World's
copyrighted Caracas (Venezuela) dispatch says: The political excitement is unabated.
Senor Bricano, editor of El Patriota, has been arrested, together with other partisans of Andueza Palacio.
The newspapers here are discussing the possibility of a British warship in the harbor of La Guayra being able to throw a ^hell over the mountain into the city of Caracas. To quiet apprehension in regard to it the matter has been submitted to expert engineers here. Their opinion is awaited with considerable anxiety. During the last revolution, the American Admiral Walker, on board the flagship Chicago, after studying the question declared that it was impossible because the guns could not be elevated enough.
The anti-English manifestations continue. At Valencia yesterday the Venezuelans divided themselves into two parties—one representing English invaders and the other the patriots—and began a sham fight. Those on the Venezuela sid^ became so excited that they went at it in earnest, with the result that several who were enacting the role of Englishmen received severe stab wounds. The police had to be called in to stop it.
Dispatch to the New York Herald. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Caracas, Venezuela, says: General Domingo Sifontes, who was in charge of the Yuruan district at the time Sergeant Barnes was arrested by the Venezuela authorities, has been arrested in Ciudad Bolivar on the accusation that he has been mixed up in the latest rebellion. It is alleged that he has received letters from Dr. Hernandez of New York, showing the existence of a plot against the government. Sifontes is a spiritualist.
Newspapers here are urging the government to send troops to the frontier to head off the English. The Liberal papers say enough militia can be spared for that purpose, and if the British obtain a foothold in the disputed territory it will be hard to a.slodge them.
El Tiempo says the quicker trocps are ?ent the better it will be. BANK ROBBED BY BURGLARS.
About $9,000 Secured From the Farmers' at Verona, Mo. MONETT, MO., Jan. 11.—Eight masked
men dynamited the safe of the Farmers' bank at Verona, eight miles east of this city, yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, and escaped with $9,000 in cash, all it contained. Telegrams from. Cashier Fly state that the robbers made their escape, riding in the direction of Monett. They are supposed to be provisionals. r:,
They entered the city on horseback, secured night watchman Hoover and bound him to a tree across the street. They then easily forced the front doors oi the bank, and a short time literally blew the vault and sale to pieces with dynamite.
FIGHT :N COURT.
A Lawyer With a Gun in His Desk Overpowered. CHATTANOOGA. Jan. 11.—When coun
ty court opened yesterday morning an exciting scene occurred. Judges Holtzclaw and Springfield had had a row during the session of the pev.ous day, and the court was informed that- Holtzclaw had a pistol in his desk.
The county judge ordered it removed, and sent Constable Toler to get the gun. Judge Holtzclaw fought for the possession of the weapon, but he was overpowered, and the desk at which he sat was taken from him until the gun could be removed. Holtzclaw said that he had put the pistol in his desk to defend himself, and he proposed to use it.

FARMER SHOT BY HIS SON-IN-LAW.
The Assassin Pitrsued by a Fosse and Riddled With Bullets. LOCKPORT, N. Ym Jan. 11.—Robert
Clapsaddle, a farmer of Ransomville, a small town about 10 miles from here, was fatally shot yesterday by his son-in-law, George H. Smith, who was pursued by a posse of villagers, cornered, and when he made resistance, filled with bullets, causing his death. One of the pursuers also was shot.
Farmer" Clapsaddle lived a mile south of the village, with his wife, a daughter and a grandchild, 12 years old, the son of the murderer. Smith was a dissolute fellow, who spent what money he could get for whisky. He had married the eldest daughter of the Clapsaddles, and she had separated from him on account of his dissipation, and Smith had always blamed his father-in-law for the estrangement. Yesterday afternoon Smith came into the Clapsaddle homestead, where the old man sat reading his paper, and without warning or provocation, drew a revolver and shot Clapsaddle through the head. Before an alarm could be given the assassin had made his escape. Mr. Clapsaddle died soon after the arrival of a doctor, never regaining consciousness.
A posse was formed, with a deputy sheriff at the head, to hunt down the murderer. Smith had fled across the county toward the home of his wife's second husband, Declute, probably with the intention of committing another crime. He was armed with a revolver and had his pockets filled with cartridges. The posse was composed of over half a hundred reputable men and neighbors of the murdered man. When Smith saw the posse in pursuit, he made for the house of a man named Brown and as he entered the door, he turned and brandishing the revolver cried: "Tne first man who follows me in here I will Shoot."
Undaunted the posse closed in around the house, when Brown, coming to the poor, told them that Smith was in hiding in one of the closets. There upon Elmer Clapsaddle, a relative of the murdered man, cried to Smith to come out and surrender. Smith responded with a bullet, which entered Clapsaddle's wrist. This aroused the crowd and they fired through the walls of the house at short rauge into the spot where Smith was evidently standing. There was a sound as of a falling body which showed the shots had taken effer" Smith was found to be fatally injured, bleeding from a dozen wounds.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
The Senate Sends Congratulations to President Kruger. WASHINGTON*. Jan. 11.—The debate
on the senate free coinage substitute for the house bond bill was opened yesterday by Senator Jones of Arkansas, in a two hours' speech, which was followed with close attention by senators on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Jones took strong ground in favor of the free and independent coinage of silver contending that that was the only method by which the distress in the country could be alleviated and the treasury department relieved from its present dependence upon the speculative holders of gold. There was no reply to Mr. Jones' argument, but the debate will be resumed when the senate meets again on Monday.
Dur ug the morning hour Mr. Pritchard (Rep., N C.) made a speech in favor of the reinactment of the McKinley law and Mr. White (Dem., Cal.) made some remarks in favor of amending the rules of the senate so as to pve the majority the power to bring a measure to a vote whenever it saw fit.
At the conclusion of Mr. White's speech, Mr. Morgan Dem., Ala ), formerly chairman of the committee of foreign relations, introduced a joint resolution congratulating the republic of Transvaal in Africa for the stand for liberty which it had taken, and directing the president of the United States to transmit the action to the republic of Transvaal.
It was referred to the committee on foreign relations.
In the House.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.—The house gave its time to a discussion of the proposed amendments of the rules of the Fifty-first congress which were provisionally adopted early in the session to govern this house. After along discussion the rules of the Fifty-first congress were adopted.

HOW ICE
LOAPED.
METHOD OF CONVEYING IT FROM HOUSE TO SHIPBOARD.
Ingenious Elevators and Rons Employed by the Large Penobscot River Concerns. A Great Deal of Labor Accomplished by a Few Hands.
An interesting operation is the loading of ice from the mammoth houses on the banks of the Penobscot into the large freight carriers that are almost constantly going up and down the river bearing heavy cargoes of frozen Penobscot to faroff ports.
From the top of the house the ice comes down in a most ingenious manner. An elevator is rigged outside the building, and on it the ice comes down by gravity. There is a counteracting force in a big weight that goes up when the load comes down, and vice versa. To the casual observer it looks as though the thing worked automatically. Two large blocks of ice are pushed ont upon the elevator and they descend. As soon as they slide off, back goes the elevator for another load, and this thing is kept
up hour after hour. Careful observation, I however, shows a strong wire that leads off some distance, and at the end of it sits a man, and the secret is out. True enough, the thing works itself, but it needs a guiding hand so that it won't work too fast. The movements of the elevator are controlled by a friction pulley. When the ice reaches the bottorn and one cake slide's off, the elevator would take a run up before the other came off were it not that the man on I the end of the wire pulls a lever and the friction pulley acts at the top, and the elevator waits until the cargo is all off.
Then the man releases the pulley and back goes the carriage, the heavy weight I at the other end carrying it rapidly to the top.
From the elevator the ice elides into a run. In the center of that is an endless chain that it fitted with pronglike attachments at certain intervals, and as they come along they come up behind the cako of ice and carry it to its destination.
A short distance up the run is a planer, a simple contrivance that removes the snow ice and evens the blocks so that they will pack nicely in the hold of t-ho vessel. The cakes of ice pass serenely along, and when they come to the planer pass easily under it, but at the same time they lose two or three inches of their height. There is a provision in the contracts that provides for this, and they read that only an inch or inch and a half, or whatever the amount is, of snow ice shall be left on the cake, and therefore the planing.
Just beyond the planer is a man who gives the cake a quick pull that brings it ahead of the prong for a moment. A second look shows why this is done. By this quick movement the cake of ice is brought upon a pair of scales, and in the second's rest that it has before the prong on the chain gets along it is weighed and the figures placed upon the record that is being kept of the cargo. It is no small job to weigh the ice, for the cakes come along in rapid succession, and the weight has to be ascertained in the ordinary manner and the result put down before the next cake gets along.
From the scale the journey to the vessel is uninterrupted. The run is arranged so that it extends over the vessel to the hatchway, and the rise and fall of the tide are provided for by an arrangement that permits of the rising and falling of the run to correspond.
Perhaps the most ingenious thing of the whole system is that by which the ice is put in the hold. At the end of the run and directly over the hatchway is a strong frame, and in that there works a platform that goes up and down something like an elevator at the house. Two blocks of ice are slid upon it directly from the run, and the man who controls it releases a friction lever, and down it goes into the hold by its own weight, the speed being controlled by the man with the friction lever. The platform is suspended by four ropes that unwind from a cylinder as it descends, and at the same time another and larger rope that appears from a distance winds upon the cylinder.
When the load is off the platform in the hold, the friction lever is again loosened, and the rope that comes over the side of the vessel gets in its work by turning the drum the other way and quickly bringing the platform into its place. Out on the wharf at the other end of the big rope is another large weight, that does the work of pulling back the platform.
Away down in the hold the work of stowing the ice was progressing rapidly. The ice is simply packed together in as small a space as possible, and nothing is put around it, as many doubtless suppose. At the hatches, after the cargo is all in, a little hay is thrown, but with the exception of that there is nothing put about the ice to keep it from melting. Under the improved order of packing only from 10 to 15 per cent of the ice is melted, and at times not so much as that.—Bangor Commercial
