Now the imperial question has cropped up behind the question of the chartered company's rights. The High Commissioner seeing that the claims of the char tered company fail to inspire res pect has taken up the ground that the country beyond the Lim popoj is British territory, in order to pre-vent another and more formidable "Trek." It is such declarations as these that have aroused the strongest indigna tion of members of the Volksraad, and have tended to revive the re collection of old grudges which were beginning to be forgotten. The fact is, they have left a state of things which contains all the possibilities of a destructive and disastrous war and which is tending to paralyze in dustry throughout the whole of South Africa.

TENNESSEE' COMPTROLLER The Sensation of the Hour in Nask ville. By the Chronicle's United Press Leased Wire. Nashville, Term., July 111 The sensation of the hour in the Tennessee capital is the charges against State Comptroller Allen of retaining commissions to which he is not entitled and placing State money in bank to his individual ac count. The Legislature of 1887 made a law allowing the State Comp troller 11 per cent, of all railroad tax for collecting the same, but it is claimed that the law was repealed in 1889. Nevertheless, Allen has continued to deduct the commissions. He has placed the money collected in bank in his own name, which eminent legal authorities declare is in violation of the law which com pels him to turn over all collec tions immediately to the Treasurer.
