The Transvaal.
The Transvaal. PRESIDENT KKUGEK'S V181T. I Dr. Jameson's Men. I PaBTOniA, Saturday.—An authoritative contra- dietirm is given here to the telegram circnlated in the British Press on the 21st nit., alleging the existence of a strong movement hostile to the British, and declaring that the whole Burgher I population was opposed to President Kmger'a visit to England, which might therefore be regarded as abandoned. President Kruger denies tliat any anti-British move is being arranged or oonternplated here. Wi. referenda to the question of his visit to England, the President states that it is true that a section of Burghers is opposed to his going, bub that he is convinced that when the negotiations on the points of his visit are arranged the Burghers will support him in his desire to personally interview the British Government. Under these circumstances it may b" regarded as good as cer- tain that President Kruger will go to Englaud. and the general opinion is that his visit wili afford the only final solution in clearing away all difficulties connected with important pending questions. Both the business and political outlook is now regarded here as vety hopeful. The assertion also made in the telegram referred to above that Mr Leo Weinthal, manager of the Victoria Press, was preparing to leave the Trans. vaal for an indefinite period is completely un. founded. Five of the chief Reform Committee prisoners proceeded to the Rand to-night on parole, and without a police guard. --Beuter. CAPE Tows, Srturday.-Titt, Transvaal Govern. ment has notified intention of ordering the exhumation of the remains of the Chartered Company's troopers who were killed in the fight- ing at Doornkop, and their removal to a suitable enclosed cenietery. -Reuter.

AN ENTERPRISING EDITOR.___I
AN ENTERPRISING EDITOR. I NEW YOHK, Sunday.—A curious commingling of newspaper rivalry and suicide is reported from Mid vale, Nebraska. It appears that a. man named Merchant, editor of a weekly paper published in that town, decided hsfc Monday to commit suicide because of reverses. In business in order that his paper should at least be firllt with the news he wrote a thrilling obituary article about himself, extending to three oolumna in length, explaining how and why he was taking his life, and what the outlook for him was if he did no do so, and waited till the rival paper had gone to press. He then handed the story to the printers, and shutting himself up in his sanctum took a dose of poison. When the foreman read the Article he ran to the sanctum, but was unable to gain admission, and as the editor refused to let hitn enter he called the police, who broke open the door. Mer- chant was found almost at the last gasp. The doctors who came with the police applied the stomach pump, and ultimately pro nounced the wonld-be snicide out of danger. The foreman, meanwhile, had the articles net up and rushed out the papers giving the story as the editor wrote it. An hour afterwirds the rival paper oame out with a later edition announcing fciiftt Merchant's life was saved.—DaJxiel.

EARLY DIAMONDS. I
EARLY DIAMONDS. I By GO. MANVILLE FENN, Author of "Black Blood," "The Tiger Lily," "The White Virgin," &c., &c. JCOPTKMHT ] Safe enough now in the towns with the police and watchful care taken. Besides things are so altered since then. Where tnen went in pairs or some half-dozen together hunting diamonds with a pick and shovel, you have great companies with their hundreds of thousand s of workpeople, black as well as white, electric light, steam engines, trams, and miles of underground workings. It was a curious case. I was out there working like a nigger along with about a dozen parties, suffering from the double thirst of want of water in the daytime, of more diamonds at night. They all had the same complaint, and we were toiling away so as to get a little fortune out of the diamondiferous soil before it was farther known, and there was a rush. It was bad enough as it was, and getting worse week by week. When I and my brother first lit upon the place we found only two there, Wilson and Crammond, with their bit of a tent, and very sour they seemed when we came upon them, just after I had literally picked up a diamond worth at least £20. My brother was with me, and when we walked up to them Crammond nodded with jcowling look, and asked if we were going prospecting farther on. Because if you are," he said, and find A decent spot, and will do the right thing, one of you come back and fetch us we'll back you up, make a little company of it, keep )t to ourselves, dodging so as to keep away a rush." I'm willing," I said quietly, "but why not do it here Here ?" he said with a laugh. Hear that You may slave as long as you fike and you'll do no good here. We're going to try for another day or two, and then going somewhere else. More fool you," I said, looking him straight in the eyes. Better do as we do, nd stop here." He looked as if he would like to take out ♦be revolver he wore, and tried to stare me down. Let's get on," said my brother in a jrhlsper. No," I said, this place will do." Look here," said our friend, "I'm not tjoing to stand any nonsense. We settled iown here. and we're not going to have a pack of loafers squatting close to us, so if you want to keep whole skins you'd—" Be quiet, Crammond," said the other, they've at good a right here as we have. There's room enough for a ll. a cursed fool," cried Crammond. Perhap s so, but I can play fair," cried the other. Then, turning to me, look here, sir, it is a good place, and you two are as lucky as we are in finding it out." You idiot." growled Crammond. "Be quiet, Sam," cried the other, and he continued to us All we ask is that you play fair. Take up your claim at a decent distance, and help us to keep the place snug so as to get all we can before the rush." Agreed," 1 said. How have you done T Very fairly." .1 Then it won't be right to ask to start with you," I said. "No," he replied, work for yourselves. We'll work for ourselves, and all take it in turns to tramp back to get the prog. There's a water hole just at the back of that kopje so now we'll start fair." We did. My brother and I found a nook under the great granite cliff, and after con- gratulating ourselves upon our luck, and comparing our present quarters with my chambers in Middle Temple-lane, where I could get no briefs and seemed likely to etarve, wo fell asleep under t!r& cool Afric a tar-spangled heavens, and enjoyed a thorough restful night. For two months we four worked away there, getting diamonds at a wonderful rate, and taking it in turns to tramp to the nearest settlement to buy food—and precious dear it '1'e. 'But yrof did not mind. Cram- mood and his partner, who were friendly enough now. were doing wonderfully, as Wilson more than once hinted, while my brother and 1 saw a fortune to take back to London at the -end of a year or two, and worked like^slaves. I likud Wilson, and my brother took to him as well, for he was a gentleman, though he never opened out about his early life. But that was nothing to ns. One day we had been ltterally broiling there, the sun being reflected from the great granite cliffy in a way that would have been unbearable if it had not beentfor the dia- monds which we kept on adding to those in our leather bag. Crammond had to take his mm to fetch necssaries, and just before sunset he came back to camp toiling under his load, and threw it down swearing that he would do it no more. We must get a nigger," he growled, and send him." And let everybody know where we are." I said. No, I'd sooner do all the carrying myself. We've kept it secret so far, and it's every man for himself." Crammond uttered a fierce oath and snatched out his revolver to aim at a crouching figure fifty yards away, but I knocked up the weapon. In one respect the game was up. for one of the men at the nearest diggings had noticed our visits and had tracked Cram- mond, and the very next morning twenty more were close by us. Then others came and came till the camp grew busy and a couple of stores were set up, so that there was no need to waste time in fetching provisions. It was vexatious, but we knew from the beginning that we could not keep the secret long from the sharp eyes of many another diamond seeker, and all we could do was to congratulate ourselves upon the good start we had had, and go on collecting as well as we Cfiuld. flow that place grew, and how well every one did Quite a sheet-iron and canvas began to spring up. and somehow in the olTor* to keep something like order I found myself chosen, on account of my legal knowledge, as thcV»ne to settle pretty well all the disputes, and as there were plenty of good fellows who meant to stand •gainst rowdyism, and ready to back me up, my word soon became law. Crammond did not. like it, and he was not above s howing jealousy, but, as my brother Dick said, we did not care for Crammond though we liked his partner, au he might go and hang. And so the time went while we worked, fought those who wanted to have their own way and make the place a pandemonium, stored up our diamonds, and waited for the time when the Government would come up our road and r :!ieve us uf the respunsibilry of keeping order. I never professed to understand doctoring, but when we went up from the Cape upon frtft wanderings I took the precaution of providing myself with a few medicaments aajficicnt for our own use, and It naturally foLl aUtiut that as we were a hundred miles from a doctor, 1 helped ono fellow with pills, another with chlorodyne, and staved off fever in several cases with doses of limine. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, saya the proverb, and I daresay in my case a doctor would have endorsed the saying. But 1 never found it so. and 1 know that as 1 was cautious I did a deal of good, the consequonco being that unsought and un- wished for, I found myself besieged and had to get quite a little store of simple medi- cines. while in those days, if anyone had been rash enough to assert that I was not a good doctor, ho would have got into serious trouble with my many grateful patients. One day Crammond came to my tent. Wish you'd come tn and see Wilson," he said, he's down with fever, I think." All right, I'll come on," I said, and I followed him to his quarters, and found Wilson with his pulse jumping away nine- teen to the dozen. I knew enough to see that he was in a bad way, but it was your humble servant for doctor or none at all, and 1 set to work doing all I knew, with the result that by degrees the delirium left him, and he began to know me, but he was weak as any rat. I was a good deal puzzled over his symptoms for they were fresh to me, but my treatment did him good, and sometimes 1 grew hopeful,|but only for my hopes to be dMhed again, for the poor fellow fluctuated terribly. You'll pull him through, won't you 3" said my brother. I begin to be afraid not, Dick," I said, sadly. I wish to heaven Crammond would get a regular doctor up for him, cost what it might. Why don't you tell him so ?" he said. I have, over and over again." What did he say 1" Bosh If you can't put him right no- body can That's bad. Tell poor Wilson yourself." I dare not,"{I said. It would have such a lowering effect upon his spirits. I want to talk to him more alone, but Crammond is always with him." That's bad, too." said Dick. Why do you say that 1" I asked, sharply. Because I've been several times to sit with the poor fellow, and Crammond will never leave us together. I say it's awful for a poor fellow to be dying in this out-of-the way place just when he has been successful." Horrible," I assented. "You think they have done well 1" I am sure of it," said Dick; U but Crammond is as close as an oyster, and Wilson daren't speak before him. I thought once that he wanted to confide in me." I stared hard at my brother, and his words set me thinking, and that evening after going and seeing poor Wilson I thought more as I saw his glaring eyes, his hollow cheeks, and the piteous, wistful look he gave me as if he wanted to say something, but could not because his partner was there watching so intently. Better to-night, isn't he ?" said Cram- mond but I did not answer his question, and walked away to go back to my tent and light my pipe and think, wishing the while that I had a hundred times the knowledge I possessed, while my brother lay fast asleep in his bunk. Then in the silence and darkness my brain grew very busy. I knew that the poor fellow was getting worse, for though one day my treatment stopped the horrible pain and loss which was weakening him so fear- fully, the next he was as bad as ever again, and then all of a sudden I dropped my pipe and started so sharply that my brother woke up. Hullo he said, not in bed. Didn't i hear you come back. How's poor Wilson ?" Bad as bad can be. He's dying. Poor old chap. I say, I was down with some of the fellows to-night while you had gone there, and they were talking about him. Someone has been saying that you don't understand the case, and that you are killing the poor fellow." Who said that V I cried. From what I could make out it must have been Crammond." Crammond it was, Dick," I cried fiercely, "and he's a cursed villian." Well, he does look it," assented my brother. But I suppose they are about right—you don't thoroughly understand what is the matter." Yes I do," I cried fiercely. "Wilson is being slowly poisoned, and when he dies I am to get the credit of badly treating him." Bosh, old man. What cock-and-bull nonsense have you got in your head ?" What seems to me almost like a revela- tion. Look here, Dick, they must have a big heap of diamonds buried under their tent." "No doubt. Crammond found his partner turn ill, and the temptation has been too strong for him. While I have been trying to pull the poor fellow round he has been fighting against me." To poison him 1" So tht he may dio." I cried. Oh, come, I say, old fellow, that's a serious thing to say." I don't care, I'm sure of it," I insisted. "To-morrow morning,if I find his appearance confirms what I think, I'll call a meeting and get themen to back me up. I'll have poor Wilson brought here and a committee shall take possession of their pile, and divide it, so that Wilson's half share shall be held by our best men for him. Crammond is playing a double game." Phew whistled Dick. But, I say, old lad, mind what you are doing. Cram- mond's a dangerous chap." "So am I when my blood's up," I said, sternly. "That man is a scoundrel 1 an* j sure, and poor Wilson is afraid of him now he is so bad. Yes, I'll lisvq matiwn -put right to-morrow at any risk. As soon as I wake in the morning I'll go on there and see. And I'll reload my revolver and go with you, old man. Crammond shan't shoot you in the back if I'm there." He dropped off to sleep soon after, and I s&.t thinking till close upon daylight, when I lay down, and what seemed to me the next minute Dick laid his hand upon my shoulder, Hadn't you better wake up, old chap ?" he said. I started into wakefulness, and sat up staring. What is it ?" I said, confusedly. "What time is ib V I don't know. Getting on for noon, I should say." Great heavens I cried, hurriedly, running out to the bucket which formed our toilet service. You should have woke me up." u p" I didn't wake myself," he replied. You see we sat up talking horrors all the night." Ten minutes later we were on our way to the sick man's tent. It was a glorious morning, and save at the store, tents, and shanties, no one was about, the men being at their diggings, working away for dear life. Seems hard for a young man to go out on a day like this, said Dick. suddenly, as we made our way off to where the tent lay in rather a solitary spot, the fresh comers having picked their claims farther and farther away up towards the rocks. Don't talk," I said, huskily. I am terribly la. te. Just the right time. I say, old man," replied my brother. look yonder. Old Crammond don't seem to be at the tent." For a wonder he was not, his custom for the past fortnight having been to hang about the tent door as if keeping guard over his partner. We looked round, saw no sign of him, and concluded that perhaps he was asleep, and upon entering the tent there he lay on one side soundly asleep, while poor Wilson lay on the other. Dead whispered Dick, as we paused at the entrance, and a sensation of misery and despair came over me, as I felt that perhaps a few hours earlier I might have saved him. I went in with the interior all in a soft glow, as the sun fell upon the canvas, and I I bent over my patient, whose face looked terrible, when to my astonishment the eyes opened, glared at me, and then a look of recognition came into them. Thank God you have come," he moaned. "Whatanight." come, and I'm not going to leave I you," I said. Look here, Wilson, I fully understand your case now, and I'm going to cure you, so try and hold up, man, and help me. Yes," he said, feebly, and then he smiled, as my brother stood between us and Crammond ready to interpose the moment he woke up and interfered. That he had been drinking was evident, for there was a bottle and a pannikin upon a box close to the rough pallet on which he lay, npparently stupefied by the fumes of the potent whisky sold at the store. Come, I like that," I said. "You are certainly better this morning. I have come to have you carried up to my tent." "No," he said, feebly, take him. Listen," he whispered, M he got hold of my flannel shirt with his thin fingers I have been nearly sure of it for a week now, last night I crawled out of my bed and tried—" I laid my hand upon his head, bat it was comparatively cool. I know what I'm saying," he whis- pered. and I've proved it." Proved what 1" He has been poisoning me slowly for weeks now. I started round to look at my brother, and we faced the boards then upon which Cram. mond lay, but he did not stir. "He thought I should die from my illness, but you were saving me, and then he began. It was for the diamonds. So many -1 wouldn't believe it, but it was always so. I The water tasted so. He gave it to me, and it burned," Still Crammond did not stir. But you would not let me die, and last night I saw him put something in the pan- nikin that he put by me so that I could drink in the night. He was tired of wait. ing, and he meant me to die. He did not know I was watching him, and as soon as he went out of the tent I thought I would try whether I was misjudging him." I turned from the speaker to glance at my brother once more, and then Wilson went on. "I fainted at the first try,but I managed it at last. I crawled to his side and changed the pannikin, leaving mine on the box, and drank half of his, and crept back half dead. Then he came in and looked at me with a bottle in his hand, and as he went back to the box I felt ready to call out to him. but something seemed to say, is all your fancy,' and I lay watching him as he poured some whisky into his pannikin, drank, then poured in more, and drained the whole." My brother staggered to the door to get the fresh air, and Wilson went on. All my fancy, I said to myself," he whispered—" a sick man's fancy. Poor old Crammond, he's rough but true. Let him keep the diamonds. He said he would remember my people at home. There he has been sleeping ever since," continued Wilson, with a meaning look. 11 You had better wake him now." For a few moments I could not stir then making an effort I rose from where I knelt and crossed to where Crammond lay upon his face. Stone dead. A month later Wilson was about, rapidly growing strong, and he joined us in our tent, bringing with him the riches that they had earned by constant work. Yours, old fellow," I said to him one evening when he was talking about them, by all th" rights of possession. There is no one to say nay." [THE END.]

At Chatham soldiers are already volunteering for service in ease it is daoided to sand out troopa from England for the proposed military operations in Escypt. 1. VIMRS OF FRETFDB POLITICIANS. PARIS, Saturday Night. The question of Egypt is Again being discussed with interest in political circles here, and considerable importance is attached to the outcome of the debate on this question in the House of Cutnmons on Monday. There is an erroneous impression in England that French statesmen take a Chauvinistic view ot the Egyptian matter and are pressing for a speedy evacuation. This is not the case. France is anxious that England should choose her own moment, aud do nothing which would reduce her prestige or wound her amour prop re. The possibility of an AngloEgyptiau advance upon Dongola has caused no ill-feeling here. I say this advisedly after having sought the opinion of those who have hitherto assumed the most aggressive attitude towards England with respect to the Egyptian question. And, if anything, regret is expressed that the question should have been raised at this moment. It ill fAIt to be a pity that Mr Labouchere should provoke a diecussion about it in the House of Commons, for he can do no good thereby, and cannot fail to add to the confusion which prevails in the public mind on this sub j sot both here and in England. M. Frang :>u Deloncle, who cannot be accused of any tenderness in the Egyptian matter, has more than once expressed the above view to me. The relations between France and England are so excellent just now that it is a pity for anyone to go out of his way to spoil them.- Observer. FRENCH PRESS OPINIONS. PARIS, Saturday.—Referring to the Anglo- Egyptian expedition against the Dervishes, the Debats says it would be interesting to know whether this step has been taken spontaneously by Great Brirain or whether it is in response to a request by Italy. In other words, is there a contract between England and Italy which obliges England to holp Italy under certain circumstances ? In any event, tho coat of the Dongola expedition is sure to be borne by the Egyptian Treasury, and England's generosity will not cost her much. The Libertt say,3 France ought not to look with jealousy upon efforts to re-establish civilisation in Upper Egypt, The French were not driven out of Egypt by the English, but by the Radicals who refused to sanction a condominium.—Dalzicl. PARIS, Sittirdtty.-Tho Radical to-day contains a violent article upon British policy, It declares that England has profited by the Italian defeat to prolong the occupation of Egypt, and then goes on to expatiate upon Dr. Jameson's raid and the suggested alliance between Great Britain, China, and Japan against Russia. The journal says in conolusion: "British policy is nothing bub a tissue of mendacity. The dominant spirit always is love for and pride in a country which nothing deters from carrying out its design.Beuter. BRITISH REIN FO RC KMENTS FOR I EGYPT. PAUlS. Sunday.—The following telegram from a French source in Cairo is published lit-re It is confirmed that tne Egyptian Cabinet yeaterday, at the request of Lord Oromer, decided officially upon the despatch of an expedi. tion to Dongola. Lord Cromer announced that reinforotiDnflntj of a thousand British troops would leave Europe on the for Cairo. The Counoil decided to defray the cost of the expedition from the Egyptian Budget, and asked the Inter- national Commission of Public Debt for a first credit of 2% million francs. As there is no urgent need for the expedition, and perfeob tranquility prevails on the Upper Nile, it is opposed by public opinion. Theooniotton it expressed that France, when consulted as roe of the Powers guaranteeing the Egyptian bond- holders, will refuse to agree to charge the fands of the Egyptian Budget with the cost of the expedition, which is estimated at 50 million francs. —Reuter.
EXTENSIVE JEWELLERY_______I…
EXTENSIVE JEWELLERY I ROBBERY. A daring and extensive burglary was perpetrated during Saturday night on the premises of the Parisian Diamond Company, 85, New Bond. street, London. The premises are situated at the junction ,iyltb Oxford-street, and the shop of the Marvel Cycle Syndicate is governed by the same main street entrance. At 6 30 on Saturday night the establishment was left apparently safe by the mnnager, Mr Reynolds, and nothing amiss was noticed until 1 30 yesterday afternoon, when the manager of the Bicycle Syndicate, going to look over his own premises, found that one of the panels of the door in the shop of the Diamond Company bad been removed. Looking through the aperture he perceived casea and packages lying about the floor and the whole place in a state of confusion, which sufficiently explained the situation. Upon examination being made it was found that the thieves, who seem to have left no elne behind them, bad got clear away with practically the whole stock of diamonds and Oriental pearls, valued at from £5,000 to £ 6,000. Among the booty were many tiaras and necklets worth £ 60 each.

Ik is stated that the Melyn employers ineist that their demand is just and moderate, and if the workmen blindly force them to close down their works, there wiil not be a restart unless consider- ably modified proposals are acoeptecl. On the workmen's side it is urged that the employers are asking for larger concessions than are agreed upon at other works, and that an important qualifying element in the dispute hes m the fact that the Melyn plates obtaining so high a price in the market, the workmen's labour is more productive of material gaiu to the employers than ib is else- where.
Centenarian of CowbridgeI
Centenarian of Cowbridge I BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO DR. SALMON. ALIVE AND HEARTY AT 106 I It is difiieult to realise that we have among us alive and well a man who to-day celebrates his 106tih birthday. Dr. Win, Salmon, of Penllyn Court, Cowbridge, has, however, attained that distinction, and his great age notwithstanding, we venture to greet the venerable patriarch, on this his sixth birthday in the second century of his existence, with the sincere wish of still many happy returns of the day. The tale of his life has often been told in these columns and need no recapitulation except, perhaps, to emphasise the faot that there are extant the most con- clusive of proofs thab Dr. Silmon was born at Wickham Market, in Suffolk, on Tuesday, the 16tli of March, 1790. The Freemasons, of whom Dr. Salmon is the oldest member (one of the original members of the Jerusalem Lodge in London) have investigated the matter and found it to be so. So, too, have the College of Surgeons, and there is still tho mother's diary, in which she ascribes her thank- fulness to Heaven for strength to undergo the tryal" at his birth with tolerable com- posure," and in which she hopes of our dear little boy" thah virtue may be his darling pursuit." Dr. Salmon's father was a medical man, who became connected with South Wales throngh a lawauib over a will dealing with the distribution of an estate of which he was the exneutor, and eventually settled down in Cow- bridge in a house opposite the Bear Hotel. It was here that the centenarian's youth was spent, and it was from Cowbridge that he left for London to %vilic the hospitals," and to prepare for his father's profession. Anxious to pursue a life of activity, Dr. Salmon became attached to a Swansea regiment as an Army doctor. His desire for active servic* abroad, however, was thwarted, but young Salmon, then the youngest medical officer in the British forces, was sufficiently well-to-do to be able to gratify hi. desire for foreign travel,and even now often relates with much vii-ito how, when the news came of Napoleon's downfall at Waterloo, he put horses to carriage, posted across England to the Channel, thence voyaged over the Channel to Francs, and was ono of the first arrivals in the gay capital after the eventR of Waterloo, list hastened to Brussels to find one half the city a hospital and the other in high festival over the defeat of the" Corsican upstart." By his subse- quent marriage with the heiress of the Deeros, Dr. Salmon, then in his prime, became the owner of the broad acres of Penllyn Court and the Garth. Mrs Salmon died in April, 1858, in her 75tli year, and was buried in Llanfrvnach Oliareli. A correspondent who visited Dr. Salmon on Saturday was informed that there does not seem to h, ve been any change in him for the last five or six year, Ilis appotite is good, and he hears quite distinctly, but his eyesight is very defective. The first questions Dr. Salmon asked the visitor was if they had made any improvements in Cow- bridge of late, and the old gentlwnan seemed veiy pleased when told that the Council were considering the question of a water supply and draln.igs for the town. He also inquired if the railways made any difference to Cowbridge. In wishing him good-bye, the corresponded expressed the hopl) to see him on another birth- day. at which Dr. Salmon seemed delighted.
