Montague White, the Transvaal's former agent in London, who is I now in Washington, has not made any request to be re ceived by the United States govern ment in. an official capacity. Should he ask tto !be received as a diplomatic agent ' to this country, the ' request would not 'be refused if . White pre sented proper credentials. . A statement, authorized by White, that the suzerainty of Great Britain does not exceed beyond the asserted right to veto: treaties made by the TransTaal with foreign countries, coin cides with the views of the adminis tration, and there is reason to believe that White understands it. The scope of- British suzerainty does not include the appointment "of diplomatic or con sular officers to conduct the foreign affairs of the Boer republic, that right being claimed and exercised by the government at 'Pretoria. According to the understanding of the administration, White does not de sire recognition, believing that he can do more good for the Boer cause in America hy residing here in a private capacity. The official j recognition of White would prevent him, unless he were walling to take chances of giving onence to the united (States, , rrom raising money! and consulting with Boer sympathizers in this country. He has informally notified, the govern ment that he does not desire official recognition, -and this is (presumed by the authorities concerned to relate to the future as well as the present.

C-; Town, Jan. 27.-Sir Alfred Mil-j lyncher Tenver. Jan. 27. A rumor reached "Denver this morn in sr that Wagner, another convict Implicated In killing had (been captured anu Atlanta, Jan. 27. In the, case, of Michael Dady of Brooklyn vs. The Seaboard Air L.ine consolidation with the (Jcorgia & Alain ma Railroad, Judge -Speer today, in the United States Circuit Court at Macon, ren dered a decision denying the right of the complainant to a temporary in junction. The division is based partly on the fact that a bill is pending be fore Judge Waddill in the United States Circuit Court at Richmond, to enjoin the same consolidation. Judge Speer held that the Richmond case should be decided before he should proceed further. The case is retained, however, to le finally heard at a later date. Judge 5pcer, in his opinion, said: "As to the contention of the com plainant to the effect that the voting trust agreement did not authorize con solidation with, the (Jeorgia- & . Ala bama Railway, it is sufficient to point out that the defendant Williams, in his sworn answer, states that it is not his purpose to use the powers of said voting trust to bring about such consolidation. 'Since there is no evi dence on record to contradict this an swer, which has the effect or evi dence under oath, the court must take it as conclusive. Consolidation,! then if attempted, must be made in some other way, and no injunction is prop crlv grantable on this groun-u. Daily's attorneys deciafo fTiat the cae will bo press for a final hir ing, especially if there should be any attempted consolidation contrary to the statement in J. Skelton Williams' answer. since those already reported; but,, un fortunately, at this important period the Yosemite's ice machine is again out of commission and the side are crying for ice.

The Case Different with Dr. Leyds Washington, I Jan. 27. Montague White, former Transvaal agent in Don- ' don, now in Washington unofficially, received a telegram from Dr. Leyds, spect still clings to the Spanish flag, because, if serving under any other but their own they would use the African flag. The Patria says there should be no African flag,' because ito would stand for barbarism. Cubans must look to the Cuban- flag'becausa it! is the only one that can ever float over the Island. It urges all people -Spaniards, Cubans, . blacks and whites to unite under the Cuban flag flag. ; - ' - 1: SCOTT OF "WEST VIRGINIA Ills Right' to a Seat in the Senate Ar gued Before a Committee. Washington, Jan. 27. Argument in. the protest of John W. iMcGraw and certain members of the legislature of West Virginia against the right ofT 'Senator Scott "of West Virginia to a seat in the United (States' Senate wa si begun -before the Committee on Privi leges and . Elections of the -Senate to day.' " Former Senator Faulkner an- peared for Scott. iSenator Chandler, a member of the committee, said the; object of the committee today was to) hear argument by counsel, and then, if the committee believed the taking: of testimony to be essential to a just consideration, this would, be ordere!. Judge; Holt of West Virginia opened! ' for the remonstrants and ' made ai strong argument. . Mr. Faulkner presented .the ca.se fop iScott. He took up the main point ofi the contention, whether or not Scott was an inhabitant of West Virginia at the time of his election:; He was in terrupted by two members of the com mittee, who said it was not necessary to argue that question. - He defied the? contestants to point out a single prece dent where - the Uni ted States Senate or any of its committees. had unseated a member on' the grounds set forth hjj the contestants. - , MURDERED BY MEXICANS Every other naval station has a Su;tJTransvaal diplomatic agent in Europe, jle library, while this station lias'n answer to an inquiry from White a single as to Iveyds omciai status, une accu- able none, not even as much as laXvbook, and riot wanting this com mand to be deprived of ordinary facil ities for plain, mental, intellectual sus tenance while isloated from the world as though encased in an armor of coral and barnacles, I most respectfully re new my request for a suitable library to be sent to this station."

FAR AWAY Gl'ATI. Governor Leary TIakes a Report and Calls for a Library. Washington. Jan. 27. The Secretary of the Navy has received two reports from Captain Leary, governor of the island of (luani, under date of Decern -ber 7 anJ December 9, 1809, respect ively, in which he says: "During the past week the epidemic of typhoid fever ashore seems to be Senate Committee Working on the Rill Introduced by Fo raker. , Washington, Jan. 27.T-The Senate Committee on Puerto Rico today con sidered and amended the bill for the government of the island,- introduced by Senator Foraker. The most im portant change made was by strik ing out of the bill the extension of the Constitution of the United States over the island. One of the specific objections was to applying the trial by jury system to the island, which the extension of the constitution would entail, it being the opinion of the committee that that system could not .be successfully operated under present conditions there. Paragraphs extending the customs and internal revenue laws of the United States over Puerto Rico estab lishing Federal courts for the island, and providing for its representation in Congress by a delegate, were pass ed over until the next meeting. This is taken to mean that there is a change of sentiment as to the manner in which the island shall be governed. It is probable that a resolution will be adopted by Congress providing for treating the island as a colony. racy of White's statement that Leyds was accredited and fully recognized as minister plenipotentiary of the Transvaal to the continental powers was questioned, and White cabled Leyds for information on the subject. Leyds said that White's statement was correct. White has made no move to secure official recognition. He is non-committal as .to whether he is likely to ask for recognition. It is understood that in an interview with President Mclvinley yesterday White did not re fer to the matter. : Six Americans Butchered by Order Of General Torres Feeltns Runs High Alone the Border and Troubles la Threatened. I ' El Paso, Texas, Jan. 27.

WAR VESSELS ASSIST. Epidemic of Influenza in Italy. Rome, Jan. 27. Influenza is epi demic in Italy and Spain, and the Pope has ordered special prayers to be offer ed up for the cessation of tb afflic tion.
