The correspondent of the Associated Press here has interviewed capitalists who have large interests in the Transvaal, They say they do not believe the gold mines will be destroyed, adding that there is no dynamite there except what is in possession of the Government. They claim that individuals could do no dam- age to the mines, and that the Transvaal Government could not afford to prejudice its cause in the eyes of Europe by de- stroying the mines over which German and French flags float in many cases. —e REV. CHARLES LOOP DIES IN POMONA Was Recognized as the Foremost Authority on Olive Growing in America. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. POMONA, March 2—Rev. Charles F. Loop, the foremost olive authority in America, died at his home in this city to- day, aged 75 years. He has been ill with pneumonia since January and a relapse last week brought him to his death quickly. He leaves an estate valued at about $120.00. A widow and two grown eons survive him. No man was ever so popular in this region as Mr. Loop. He was very charitable and public spirited. He gave away much of his fortune to needy causes and benevolent institutions, Ten ye ago he gave the city of Pomona a marble statue that he had made in Italy at a cost of $5000. It is a copy_of the famous statue of Pomona in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Mr. Loop Was the first American to en- gage in olive growing as an industry, He gave years of time and thousands of dol- lars to propagating Italian olives in Cali- fornia soil. e once spent a year in Euroge solely seeking varieties of olives suitable to the soils and climate of this State. He planted the first navel orange grove ever known and he first W or- anges In Pomona Valley. Mr. and his girlish bride came to Califo; in a wagon In 1849. They settled in® Santa Clara County and there he e to know General John C. Fremont intimately. He was an assoclate of U. 8.

FUTLE ATTACK MADE UPON The FRENCH CABIET Waldeck-Roussean Ministry Weathers Another Storm. L Interpellations Directed at M. Mil- lerand by Nationalists Come to Grief in the Chamber of Deputies. BT Copyrighted, 100, by the Assoolated Press. PARIS, March 24.—The Waldeck-Rous- seau Ministry, after enjoying a short breathing spell, had to sustain another assault from its Nationalist opponents in the Chamber of Deputies this week and came through the ordeal without much difficulty. Indeed the only result the Nationalists achleved is to accentuate the fact that the Government has come to stay through the exposition. Thelr organs beat the alr with violent and ceaseless strictures upon the Govern. ment’s policy and with attempts to em- broil France in foreign complications, but Parliament seems determined to leave the reins of power in M. Waldeck-Rous- seau's hands. The opposition, having falled in frontal attacks, tried a flanking movement on Friday and agaln came to grief. It brought forward two interpellations which were pistols leveled at the head of M. Millerand, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, and both missed fire. M. Millerand is the Nationalist bete noire and is also the most vulnerable point in the Government’s armor on account of his socialistic opinlons. In Friday's interpel- lations the opposition sought to show that his action on the questions under discus- slon was prompted by his personal in- terests and was to the prejudice of the interests of the country. The success of the Interpellations would have involved the resignation of M. Millerand and a Cabinet crisis, which the opposition hoped would lead to the breaking up of the Ministry—to divide the order of the day and to overthrow the Government, as M. Millerand himself described their tactics in defending his action. Two Interpellations Fail. The first interpellation, which accused M. Millerand of promising a subvention to one of two rival chambers of com- merce at Versailles, the president of which 15 one of M. Millerand's friends and had violently attacked the French Minister to Belgium, M. Gerard, was withdrawn on M. Delcasse, the Foreign Minister, replying that the Cabinet had unanimously decided not to grant the subvention.” This declaration showed that no dissension exx,ned within the Ministry in regard to the Wmatter, The second interpeliation—regarding the decoration of the dressmaker, Paquin, to whom, it was insinuated, M. Millerand is under obligations—resulted in the Cham- ber voting to proceed with the order of the day, which was _tantamount to & vote of confidence in M. Millerand, by a majority of 4. A third interpellation, this time atm- Ing at the Minister of ‘the Colonies, M. Decrais, will come before the Chamber on Monday, when M. Duquesnay and M, Gilbert, Deputies for Martinique, will raise the question of responsibility for the recent troubles in that island. These fruitless discussions prevented the Chamber doing useful work in abol- ishing public executions, which subject is awalting the attention of the House in the form of a proposal which has al- ready been adopted by the Senate. Some opposition is manifested toward it by Deputies, who seem to harbor an inex- plicable fear that executions will partake of a clandestine character. M. Castillard, who introduced the bill early in the week, dwelt upon the fact that the measure would do away with the scenes and mid- night orgles which now disgrace public executions in France. ““We shall hear no more,” he said, “the mob accompanying with obscens ditties the last walk of the unhappy criminal to the scaffold. It is time to put an end to this demoralizing spectacle. ‘Would Confiscate Church Property. A bill which will have stupendous con- sequences, if adopted, was introduced in Parliament this week by ex-Premier Bris- son. It provides for the secularization of properties of religious congregations and their conversion into a pension fund for working people. In the preamble M. Bris- son points out that these congregations possessed In 1850 lands and other prop- erty worth 750,000,000 francs. It is consid- ered hardly likely that Parliament will adopt such a measure of wholesale con- fiscation of private property. The sensational story published in cer- tain papers that a grave situation had arisen in Morocco as the outcome of the French occupation of the oasis of Insa- lah is denied in official quarters, where it is declared that Morocco protested, but only in a platonic way, in the matter, which is being arranged without any se- rious friction. The absence of startling events in the Transvaal war this week has tended to some diminution in the interest among Frenchmen, without changing their sym- pathies for the Boers. An indication of this is found in letters written to the newspapers suggesting that in the event of the Boers being completely vanquished, France should offer them an asylum in Madagascar, where concessions of land should be granted to them. This generous proposal, however, did not evoke enthusiasm for its merits; and the Matin points out that the Boers num- ber 450,000 and that should they accept such an offer—they being more numerous, the paper says, than Frenchmen in Mada- gascar—the day would come when they would become an embarrassment. The Boers would only leave the Transvaal because they had lost their independence, and they certalnly would not recover it in Madagascar. Vacher a Neglected Genius. Considerable interest, not unmixed with & certain amount of amusement, has been caused by the report of the well-known doctor, La Bordo, on the brain of the child-murderer, Vacher. In submitting a plaster cast of the brain before the Acads emy of Medicine he finds that the frontal convolutions are remarkably well de- veloped, the brain closely resembling that of Gambetta, from which he concludes that Vacher was a neglected genius and might have been a great leader of democ- racy; while, following the same theory, he thinks Gambetta, in Vacher's surround- ings, might have been a criminal. A majority_of his medical audience ted Dr. La Bordo's deductions with fronical laughter, but La Bordo is quite serious. The relics of Fort Clabrol, where Guerin defiled the authoritles for so long a time, were sold at auction in the state salesrooms on Wednesday.

AL BE R Copyrighted, 1900, by the Associated Press. LONDON, March 24.—Three questions involving endless controversy and specu- lation have been rife during the week. They are the possibility of the dissolu- tion of Parliament in the summer, im- perial federation and the method of treat- ment of the so-called rebel prisoners in South Africa. So far as Parliament is concerned it might as well dissolve at once for all the interest that is being taken in its proceedings. Many appar- ently Inspired articles appear forecasting dissolution at various dates, but as a matter of fact the existence of the pres- ent house depends entirely upon the pro- gress of British arms in South Africa. If they meet with quick success there will be, it is thought, an early dissolution. If the war drags on Lord Salisbury will re- taln power till the last moment allowed by the British constitution. With less than a year in which to g0 to the coun- try it is only natural that the Govern- ment will seize the most opportune mo- ment, but no member of the Cabinet be- lieves that such a moment has yet come within the limits of reasonable determin- ation in spite of the fact that the com- mander in chief of the forces, Lord Wolseley, is credited with prophesying that Lord Roberts will be In Pretoria by May 15. If the forecast of the almost for- gotten chief commander of the British army would prove correct it-would not be at all unlikely that Lord Salisbury may appeal to the electors In June. Believe Peace Is Far Away. But several of the Cabinet Ministers, in- cluding Lord Lansdowne, the Secretary of State for War, have small hope that the war will be over before the fall of this year. With such a diversity of opin- fon prevalling in the best informed circles regarding the duration of the conflict, it is evidently futile to prophesy regarding the tenure of the present (glovernment, The latter is obvlnualg dependent upon the former. Lord Salisbury has no inten- tion of appealing to the voters until the British arms triumph in South Africa and no one of any gmportance has yet been brave enough tB declare over his own name when such an event is likely to be wcomgllshed. Hence the guesses at the date of the dissolution of Parliament are scarcely worth repeating. When the gen- eral election comes it can scarcely fall to return the present administration to power, unless between this time and that period some miracle effects the cohesion of the disintegrated Liberal party. So disintegrated does this party appear to be that Sir Edward Gray, the shining light of the Rosebery faction, found it neces- sary this week, ‘when speaking at the City Liberal Club, ndon, to protest that in- ternal dissension was no just cause for the death of the basic Liberal principles. It is a curlous travesty upon truth that imperial federation and the formation of some great council of the empire have been brought more to public notics by Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the Canadian Pre- mier, in his speech at Ottawa, than even by the presence in London of 'the federa~ tion delegates from Australia, Punch’s ehief cartoon this week is de- voted to depicting Sir Wilfrid Laurler in pleasing contrast with Sir Wilfrid Law- son, the English Liberal, who insists that the war is not justified. Yet those who know the undercurrents thoroughly are well aware that the Canadian Premier's attitude and unwillingness to send outJ Canadian troops caused the Colonial Of- fice more anxiety than almost any occurrence. Federation Movement Spreading. However, the imperial federation move- ment grows d.“i' The imperial federa- tion committee has secured from Lord Salisbury a promise to seriously consider its proposals for an imperial council to ‘watch over the interests of the empire as a whole. On all sides articles appear di bating the ways and means by which the colonies which have participated in the defense of the empire may have a voice in its councils. What difficulties stand in the way of this are apparent from the roceedings of the Ausiralian delegates ly visiting the Colonial Office in th interest of their federation bill. All sorts of unexpected hitches have come up and it s feared the federation may have to be submitted ad referendum to the Austra- lian ple In consequence of the changes which, after closer inspection by the fm- perial authorities, appear necessary, al- though the bill has already been passed by Australia and the referendum would de- l-.}' action for almost a Km t is reported that the Duke of York meditates paying complimentary visits after the war to all the great colonies. The great question of the eolonial pris- oners from ing the subject of cable messages exchanged between Lord Salis- bury and President Kruger, has sprung into general discussion. In this connection it is understood that President Kruger set the ball rolling by demanding that colo- nial insurgents and British subjects com- mandeered by the Boers should, when captured, be treated as gx:lonerl of war or else reorisals would taken on the British prisoners at Pretoria. Lord Salis- bury replied, saying he would deal with the rebels as seemed fit and would hold President Kruger personally responsible for the treatment of the Pretoria prison- recent, ers, whereupon President Kru, is re- rted to have rejoined that he would 0ld Lord Salisbury personally, .l:ll:.l: for the rebels, or something of ture. Leniency Is Favored. But on all sides is being discussed what ould be done with the Insurgents cap- tured by the British. A commission of British gndges to go out to the Cayj talked of, though this is scarcely likely to oceur. e predominatin, to favor the policy of leniency now being o out under Roberts’ direction, is feeling seems “THE CATARRH OF OLD AGE Makes People Deal and Blind, PERUNA - PROMPTLY.

Bob Cotton, the negro, who, according to his confes- sion, killed Sanders and Weller, and O’Grady, the white man who was with him in the cabin when the murders oc- curred, were hanged by a mob, variously estimated to have been from 1500 to 2000 strong. This morning the Sheriff of the county discharged from duty the military that had been sent from this city at his re- quest and Major Cutchings, in command of the troops, notified Governor Tyler, stating at the same time that he thought it the firlaonen were left unprotected by the military they would be lynched. The Goyernor replied as follows: ‘“The responsibility on the Bheriff. If he orders you to withdraw you can do nothing but obey. We have done every- thing possible to uphold law and prevent mob violence and are still prepared to render every aid necessary.” 3 Accordingly Major Cutchings entrain ed his men and started for Richmond.
