There was an exciting scene during the examination of 1 secretary of the Jame- rch 12.—The inquir, into Dr. Sir Graham Bower, the imp and accountant to the high commissioner of South Africa. Mr. Henry Labouchere, replying to an objecticn upon the part of the chairman to one of his questions, said: “1 consider that Sir Graham Bower is not telling the truth, and J claim the right to examine this gentleman. If the committee like to stop me they can do s Mr. Jo: oh Chamberlain said he thought mittee was bound to protect the ess from insult, and Mr. Labouc irgisted he was convinced that Sir Graham was untruthful. ‘Thereupon the chairman said that Mr. Labouchere was out of order. This caused the latter to remark: “Then I will clear the room on exception. 1 am going to see whether this committee is to be a sham or not.” After further fencing Mr. Laboucher iterated that Sir Graham Bower's an extraordinary one, and aske: still hold to the doctrine that though are the high commissioner's secretary, are bound by your promise » rot to reveal the intimation of the pro- pesed raid given you by Mr. Rhodes?’ Sir Graham Bower lifted a volume from the table and said: “Yeu are going rather beyond the quiry, but I should like to quote a hist precedent.

I withdraw it.” Finally the portions of his remarks re- lating to the “parallel” frem the record. Sir Graham Bower to ex- were expunged a COMMISSIONERS INJURED. Inspecting a Stcel Plant When an Explosion Occurred. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 12—Three members of the commission appointed jy the government to inspect the stee} plants of the country, with a view of obtaining information regarding the iron industries, met with an accident at the Carbon Steel Company's plant yesterday afternoon. The commission, together with several members of the Carbon Steel Company, were inspecting the plant, and came to a furnace from which the fires had been drawn so that the furnace could cool. The party were standing at the furnace, when one member struck a match and placed it inside the furnace door so that they could see inside. The furnace was filled with gas and an explosion followed. Three members of the commission had their faces and hands burned, and their hair and mus- taches singed. ‘The necktie of one of the men caught fire and the clothing of others caught fire in several places. ‘The injured men were removed to the company’s offices and the company’s ductor sent for. He attended to the men’s injuries, and lest night the members of the commission left for Boston. The names of the injured were not given out. One of them is a captain in the United States navy and another a lieuten- ant. A strong effort was made to keep the accident a secret, but it leaked out, too late, however, to secure the names. FINDS THE QUEEN TROUBLESOME. President Kruger Wants Closer Ties With the Orange Free State. BLOEMFONTEIN, Orange Free State, March 12.—President Kruger of the Trans- vaal Republic has arrived here with the view of arranging for a closer union be- tween the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. He was entertained at a public luncheon, and in replying to the eulogistic toast of President Steyn of the Orange Free State, he said he was not there to contro- vert the queen’s rights. Time, he added, would show he had always defended her majesty (cheers), and he had told his peo- ple to respect her. He expyessed the hope that the two republics would form indis- soluble ties. He never, however, had any idea of the Free State being absorbed by the Transvaal. Continuing, President Kruger said he knew he had to abide by the London con- vention. The queen was a troublesome woman, and it was therefore necessary to deal with the question.of the union with utmost caution. He hoped some day to see a union of the whole of Africa. ee John E.

He was foind guilty of murder in the first degree, Sullivan was a native of this county and was thirty-seven years old. He had a good @ppearance and was well educated. His parents live in Moncton, N. B., and two sis- ters geside in Boston. ——— THE FOUR-YEAR TERM. Some Protest in Regard to Fourth- Class Postmasters. A number of republican members of Con- gress have decided to protest against the four-year term rule in the appointment of fourh-class postmasters. These republicans claim that during the last few months of Mr. Cleveland's administration many fourth-class pestmasters, whose terms Were to expire in the early months of Mr. McKinley's administration, resigned in or- der that their relatives or friends might be appointed to their places, and in that way be entitled to serve practically through the coming republican administration They claim that this was a technical sion of the four-year term rule, and that it will only be just to promptly remove all such incumbents, A number of members of Congress pro- rese asking the Postmaster General to re- appoint all the fourth-class postmasters in which they are interested without any re- gard to the four-year rule. They propose bringing heavy pressure to bear upon the Post Office Department in order to carry their point. This sentiment among the ‘politicians is far from unanimous, as quite & number of republican senators and representatives favor a continuation of the four-year rule under Mr. McKinley's administration.

But a short time ago, she alleges, he be- came infatuated with another and younger woman. That woman, she charges, he wishes to marry, and for that reason, she submits, he wishes the annulment of the marriage between them. She declares that their marriage was a legal and bind- ing one, and asserts that he has frequently offered a large sum if she would sign a paper stating that she knew one of her two husbands was living when she was married to him (Marconnier). Upon her last refusal to sign such a paper, says Mrs. Marconnier, he told her he had plenty of money, and that before he would pay her a cent he would give up his work and go where no court could make him pay alimony. She says that while she ts pen- niless, she has been a good, true wife io him and has helped him to accumulate property. Therefore, she prays that nis suit for the annulment of their marriage be dismissed. Mrs. Marconnier is represented by Attor- ney Campbell Carrington.
