In this con- nection it appears that a London press agency recently had a dispatch from New York stating that Amerlean firms were selling arms to the Boers. This dispatch came to the attention of Colonel Lee, British military attache here, and in the course of his inquiries on military affairs he asked as to the truth of this dispatch, receiving but little information beyond the fact that arms were not likely to be shipped to the Transvaal, as it had no ports and no means of receiving them. Colonel Lee says this Inquiry was entirely on his own account, and, far knows, the British Government paid no attention to the matter. s0 BELCION 1S VERGING ON REVOLUTION Special Dispatch to The Call BRUSSELS, June 27.—Stormy scenes were witnessed in the Chamber of Deputies to-day in connection with de- bate on the electoral law by the Government. introduced The socialists ac- cused the questors of bringing legal officers of the crown to the chamber for the purpose of taking notes of the proceedings. The questors hotly pro- tested, and an inconceivable tumult ensued. The sitting was eventually suspended. The soclalist deputy, Furniment, sang snatches of the “‘Mar- sellaise,” and the socialists joined in the chorus. Shouts of “Vive la Re- publique” were also raised. The chamber later voted by 88 to 16 to debate the franchise bill July 5, ana | the house adjourned amid terrific up- | roar. The committee of the Federation of Labor party held a meeting in this city to-night and decided upon a gen- eral strike of Brussels workmen as a protest against the Government elec- | toral bill. The strike will begin on the day when the debate on the measure opens in the Chamber of Deputies. as he| has | SEEKING T0 DRIVE MEN FROM IDAH0 Citizens Can Gain Freedom Only by Promising to Leave the State.

Since the date of that proclamation the authori- | | ties have insisted that *he condition of | anarchy described by the Governor | still continues, and have sought to jus- {ify every outrage perpetrated In the ame of martial law on the ground of nec ity. When the wife of Mullan Mirror endeavored, the editor of the through the courts, to obtain possession of the few paltry type taken from her by a com- | pany of soldier vhile her husband was n the bull pen, an answer under oath was returned to the process of the | court stating that the type had been | seized by order of the Governor and | as a necessary the surrection now shone County.” Accc 1o resident no insurrection ev even the authorities now seem to have | wearied of the absurd pretense.

The mate saw Cap- tain Dreyfus on deck and he says he looked broken down and like a man of sixty. The as Captain Dreyfus saluted the flags when the usual salutes were exchanged.

Sveral of the Deputies tried to speak, but their volces were drowned, and the President was compelled to suspend the session. When it was re- sumed urgency was proposed for Deroulede’s motion and was defeated by a vote of 397 to 70. As a result of an altercation in the chamber between M. Berteaux, Soclal- ist, and M. Millevoye, Republican-Na- tionalist, these two Deputies will fight a duel with swords to-morrow.

All | sorts of reports and suppositions are current. For the moment attention is concentrated on the putting to sea this | afternoon of a lighthouse relief steamer. Such vessels usually start in the morning and return in the evening, consequently the departure of the steamer this afternoon has given rise to the conjecture that she has gone to meet the Sfax, and that Dreyfus will be transferred on board of her. The authorities continue refusing to furnish the slightest information re- garding Dreyfus to the regular army | of newspaper men of all nationalities now gathered here, anxlously seeking news of the Sfax. In the meantime the effervescence of yesterday evening has quite evaporat- ed and this evening the inhabitants are calmly promenading the principal | square, listening to the marine band. PRESIDENT NOT COMING 10 THE COAST Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HE.\DQI ARTI‘Rg WELL- HOTEL, WASHINGTON, June Mrs. McKinle: ill health was the sole cause of the return of the President and his party to Washington had planned to do so. Heretofore the excitement of travel and receiving visitors has been of benefit to Mrs. McKinley, and a dis- tinct improvement in her physical con- dition has been noticeable when she been away with the President. Largely for this reason the President went to New England and arranged 9 the Western trip which he had expected ; to take later. It was found, however, that instead of the New England trip being beneficial, it had an opposite ef- fect upon Mrs. McKinley, and the President and Dr. Rixey decided that it would be better to bring her back to Washington without delay. The state of Mrs. McKinley's health | at this time is decidedly worse than it has usually been since she has been in the White House, and the probable re- | gree’s alleged utterances. | i | | | sult will be that the President will re- | main in Washington practically all summer, and will take very little if any vacation out of this city. President McKinley’s projected trip to the Pacific Coast, which had been looked forward to in anticipation of the enjoyment for himself and the improve- ment in Mrs. McKinley's condition, has been indefinitely abandoned. His pro- posed trip to Minnezota has also been abandoned. The unfavorable turn in Mrs. McKin- ley’s condition is attributed partly to a cold which she contracted just before leaving Washington. She is never strong, and this cold seemed to weaken her to such an extent as to make it advisable to avoid exertion, which | would have been necessary had she re- mained away as long as had been in- tended.

Both sides wers aroused, and only the timely arrival of a Sheriff’s posse prevented an outbreak. negro miners held a mass meeting and refused to go to work. They all belong to a secret organization known as the ‘“Knights of Africa” or the “Mysterious Men.” They keep rifles and It was the afternoon that they gathered in zow Hollow. although with what in- tention is not now known.
