The nature of the credentials of Montague White, who is lire as the reputed representa tive of the South African Republic, is tiie subject cf serious conjecture at the State Department. It is stated that ii White has the proper credentials as a ccnsul lie will bs duly received and recognized, but will be regarded only as i. ccnsul, will not be treated with in any diplomatic matters, and will not be recognized as a minister, as his gov ernment has never disavowed its recog nition of the suzerainty 'Of Great Bri tain over the Transvaal Republic.

Mr. Robert Campbell, son- of Bartle Cam'poell, : the author of "The White Slave," , and (manager of the company, which will put the play on the boards here tonight, had a narrow- escape frcm. death, today. H-e and his company arrived in the city this morning'. Mr. Campbell and his wife registered at the Central Ho tel about ten o'clock, he writing their names on the register. His . wife, at fixt started1 to handle the pen, and he . tcld 'her in lan'gua-ge which attracted the attention of the clerks and by standars. to let him do the writing. Ht did so. The clerk assigned him and his wL!e to room 16, an the 'Central annex. A few minutes; a.ter reaching the room Mr. Campbell called, for a bath. Will, the hall boy arranged the bath, the, room being on the same floor as No. 16, and when the water which is heat ed by -a. gas heater, was hot, turned the, gas? off and called to ' Mr. Campbell that his bath was ready. Mr. Campbell went in the room and looked the door. The boy went about his: business, thinking no more 0? the man in the bath room. About 15 minutes.. after tht chamhermaid heard Mr. Campbell close the t rahsttm - which -was generally left open, h'elh&se it made." in closing at tracted her attention. She remarked cn. it to " the hall boy. : Some . minutes after the wdmaii smelt gas escaping. She went to the hath room door, jde cidung that it was , -lit there that the gas was erianing.

Mr. Campbell had not beeu found too soon. In a if ew minutes more he would have been dead. Heroic treat ment was resorted to and at 2:30 hs was showing signs of Teturing life, but had not regained consciousness. The members 0? the company regis tered at the other hotels, hearing the news, gathered at the annex, alarmed and deeply interested. They, could as sign no reason if or Mr. Campbell at temptng to end his life, if such he had done. He is happily 'married; has wealth and. position;, is young and has, as far as any one can see, a bright f u-j ture ahead of him.'
