A 'comfliot belt/ween Ithie Boers and Eng

lishmen "Bs eacpecfted tomorrow. The news of the invasion of the Transvaal republic by an armed British force has created a decided sensation here. The Kreuz Zei-tung commenting on the news, says: "Everywhere the same greed and bad faith. Today it 'is Africa, yesterday it was South Aoperica."

In discussing the invasion of the Transvtaal .by Dr. Jamison and the forces of the British South Africa company all the newspapers here declare that .his action (constitutes a, serious and ^unjustiflia'ble hrea'dh of 'the 'peaoe against which Germany may protes't.

The National Zeitung remarks that German interests demand themaintenance of. independence*-.'of- -the Sou'th African republic, and it'expects that the •government will Vigorously defend and come to President Kruger's aid to case of iuGicGSS'i'ty.

The Vossisitelbe Zeitung says: "The action Of Dr. Jaimison cannot be tolerated. It is the duty of the German government to immediately take energetic steps to protect endangered German interests and at the same time ^ythose of our kinsmen, ,the Boers. It is f^mpossfble

vqui!ryvt^SEjhg5knd as to the steps the English government intend to take to restore the statu quo in the Trans »aal.

London^ Jan. 1.—A "dispatch*. 'from The

Hiaigtue to the. Tiiimes ®aiy® ithalt the Rot

terdam Counamt regtartds Dir. Jamison's

odtion' 'in' tlhe Tnahsvaial as a moot flagira rot examiple of BriibLsh arrogance. It admits that HoWanld cain do nothing for ttlhe Boers and1 feairs that England wtilil seize the opportunity 'to iwlijpe out 'the stalin of 'tlhe MaijubaMM indiderbt. It also expresses ihoipe that Gerimiany will corne

(to thie rescue. The iBarflilnJ conreispondent off ithe Times saysi4 "The crteis tis c3earay endangering .the AngOo-Oemmam (relalfioms. Public op'iin'ion iis eixdi'teid1 and aingry without doubt 't!he goveirnniienit will interfere beoamse retfaltiioris have (gradually arisen between) t:be Tranisvaiail amd Germainy, wlhiiiohi 'have a&saimetd, An 'tlhe ipu'bki'c tmfiind, ataioat itlhe ghaipe of a moral (protectorate toy Germany over Uhe Traine-

vaaJl." The Globe -.tlhiie evenlinig says a rumor ivas reached Lwrndom that Dr. Jam'ison has arrived at Johannesburg.

Are Judiffnant at "Kiug" Krnger. A dispatch dated Wednesday from Capetown to the Times strongly supports the letter from the British residents of Johannesburg appealing for assistance to Dr. Jamison. The dispatch 'adds: "The advice to 'fold their hands and" aiwait the goed pleasure of King

Kruger, -w'ho is yearning to admit the ''^'4 .XJiilanders to th« franchise il only they My will refrain from dema-ndimg it, is a Joke wh'teh the lapse of years has deprived of its savor. The demand for the -franchise 'is right and just and _the danger increases every day it Is wi'thkeld.'

In its'financial article the Times says: "The outcome of the crisis in the Transvaal is bound to foe an improved administration there amd that it therefore hehooves holders of Afrioan shares to keeep cool and not to throw them away in a panic."

It is stated that President Kruger has •telegraphed to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain pledging his government that the Boers shalll temporarily adopt a passive attitude toward Dr. Jamison's forces on its arrival outside Johannesburg. An important feature of tihis arrangement 'between Dr. Jamason and President Kruger is that all responsibility for hostility will rest with the chartered South African company.

W Frazeir. a member of the executive council of the National Union, the only member in London, discussing the situation in Transvaal said: "The most distinguished and influential mi/n•ing men in the Rands aire Americans.

Thev all feel that Africa is their home and are with tlhe English ia feeling th« necessity for hotter government and a freer code of mtfn'iag laws.*'

MEN WHO HAVE BEEN FERRETTING OUT SHORTAGES.

Ran Up Against a Stone Wall in the Ruling of Attorney-General Ketchsm.

Itfhows looks as though the "ferrets" employed Iby ,the John Hunter expert accountant (bureau who have "beeni going over the state ferret ting out mistakes jto settlements of county and townshitp officials with the state for •half the rebate will have the labors for nothing. It is more than likely the auditor of state will refuse to allow the amounts claimed by th several counties in which thiese ferrets have been working. The amounts "now aggregate more than $30,000, with several counties to heiar from. Johni H. Liehr has been employed "proving" therecords of Yigo county and has found mistakes of money overpaid the state amounting to $1,100. On the order of the board of county commissioners, Treasurer Sanrford, at his last settlement with the treasurer of the state withheld the amount alleged to he due fchte county as a result of these mistakes. The treasurer's action1 brought the matter to an issue, the object for which it wae intended. Since the withholding of the money the state officials have been considering the matter and have aboutcome to 'the conclusion to disallow all the claims made (by the counties throughout the state. In speaking *f the mlatter the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday prints the following: "Deputy State Auditor Hart yesterday submitted to the attorney, gejie, an imciuir —o Jo pttfSii'e In allowimg claims against the state on account of errors in settlement sheets. (For several years men who are known- sis "ferrets" have been -going from county to county .offering to go through the records in search of errors that have'been made in settling with the state, for one-half of all claiims found against the state. In some counties the inquiries h^ve extended back over thirty-five years and the amounts of the claims against the state in a few counties have reached from $1,500 to $3,000. Deputy Auditor Hart has on his desk claims aggregating $30,000, which have (been unearthed 'by these "ferrets." Recently seven counties have set out these claims on their settlement sheet and asked the auditor to allow tihem. Mr. Daily and Mr. Hart take the position, that they have no authority to allow such claims, although preceding auditors have been ia 1 lowing them. It is held at the auditor's office that these claims ought to be presented to the court of claims. "If it can be showni that the claims are genuine," said Mr. -flart, "and I have doulbt they are, the court of claims are bound to render judgment and the next legislature will appropriate the money, for the .payment of the claims." The facts in relation, to the claims that the "ferrets" are digging up have all been presented to the attorney general in the request for an opinion."

FEARS OF COMPLICATIONS IN PHILADELPHIA STREET CAR MUDDLE.

Membership in the Amalgamated Association of Railway Workers Han Been the Stumbling Block.

(Philadelphia, Jam 2.—At en early hour this morning the situation of affairs in the street railway trouble was very grave. The employes were then in executive session- with their leaders and it was evident that a second strike could easily ,be precipitated. The matter under discussion was the result of a conference held earlier in the night toy a sub-commattee of the employes and General Manager Beetem of the Union. Traction Co.. Th£s meeting lasted three hours and at its conclusion the aspect was favorable 'for an adjustment of the difficulty. In answer to questions the men said they came as employes of 'the company but do 'not deny their membership to the Amalgamated Association of 'Railway Workers which has been the stumbling block throughout. An earnest discussion then, followed on the proposition made by the company last Monday night asking the men, to agree that all differences are adjusted if the 500 imported motonmen .and conductors were put at the foot of the "e^ tra'" list and the old men were jatfVen theiir former runs.
