A GENERAL WAR IS THREATENED -: Transvaal Republic May Combine With the Orange Free State and Precipitate a War for Independence. RERLIN, June 4.—In diplomatic quarters It ts stated that the situ BStion In South Africa has grown worse. Dutch t# searcely avoldabie. War between England and the CAPE TOWN, June 4.—Alarm over the Transvaal situation ts grow ing, and business ts paralysed. The original cause of the crisis bel ween England and President Kruger—the arievances of the Outlanders in the ‘Transvaal, ia sijding into the background, and the Britiah mind ts now agitated by rumors of a general war for independence In South Africa The rumor is strengthened by the news that the Orange Free State is arming, and has appropriated £150, tion. In the event of concerted action for independence, the positic 008 for military suppties and ammun - of Engiand would be precarious, The Dutch at the Cape, who outnumber the British and control the Cape Partiament, are growing restiess. The @laim is made by them that Cecil Rhodes is scheming to introduce measures to annoy the Dutch as England oppreased America previous to therevolution. ‘These suspicions of the Dutch only increase the feeling existing. Peace advocates bitter on both sides are striving to effect @ settioment, but their efforts apparently are overshadowed by a desire for war upon the part of the Dutch.

Under the tn- fluence of the warm weather of the past week the vines are growing rapidly.

Hops have been making nice pro- gress during the pest week of fine ang Marion, Ul a weather at Chehalis. Growers are making preparations to spray and Many will do so before the fourth of July, although lice are as yet very ecarce. There seems to be a scarcity, of quassia chips and the probability fs that they will be sold at a higher rate soon. Those who control the quassia chips may find the market for them spoiled if they allow the growers to get along without chips for a sea- fon. We are not yet prepared to com.

It is the soap that kills the lice and not the chips. Whether or not the chips are a tonie and coun- teract the effects of the strong soap is a question the growers generally have not determined to their satis- faction. Some of the local growers are getting sheep to put into the yards to eat off the lower arms. RAILROAD PERSONALS G. M.
