FRIDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1899.

LOUISVILLE Times: Even a blind man can see that the ostentatious and gorgeous Miles has got more personal satisfaction out of the public reception to Dewey than fell to the share of the modest and unpretentious recipient of the nation's adoration. Stick Li Hung Chang's three-eyed peacock feather in the bustle of "the general commanding the army" and he would strut himself to death.

LOUISVILLE Times, (Dem.): Agul naldo's man Friday is wondering what the cost to the American people is of maintaining the American troops in ithne Philippines, and how long they •are going to stand it. Well, as the 'receipts of the government for the last three months have exceeded the expenditures by nearly $4,000,000, the probabilities are that they will stand it until our new wards throw up the sponge and submit to either benevolent Assimilation or Altruistic annihilation.

MR. HATERMEYEB is the personification of iniquity in trust management. Under the Democratic Wilson act he WBB enabled to make more money than ever before. He has been the means -of closing more sugar factories and throwing more men but of employment than any other man, so that now his hypocritical solicitude for the workingmen is entitled to about as much consideration as his denunciation of the Republican tariff, which •cut his earnings down to a reasonable basis of profit.

MILITARY preparation for the vigorous prosecution of the war in the Philippines is going on satisfactorily. The enlistments for the new regiments •re nearly completed. When the Filipinos recognize the fact that we will not permit lawlessness and that we intend to give them a stable government, which honor compels, as we have assumed the "white man's burden," they will be less anxious to con'Xnue their useless warfare. When law and order shall have been restored, then will be the time to discuss the feasibility of self-govern-ment.

SECRETARY LONG is inclined to be amused over the claims put forward by the friends of several gentlemen of credit for the selection of Dewey to command the Asiatic squadron. While senators and other prominent men wrote to Secretary Long recommending Dewey's assignment to that command, just as others wrofe in behalf 5f other queers, the secretary says the •election 'Wad ft natural one and would have been made if not an outside word had been Bald. As to who is entitled to the credit of the assignment which produced so much glory for Dewey and for the country, Secretary Long said: "The credit of it belongs to no human feeing except Dewey himself, who, by reason of this special fitness, by rank, by his turn to go to sea, and by his meritorious qualifications* was the natural designation of the bureau of navigation."

Now that the United States have ac quired distant possessions, one of the most urgent and important problems" before the American people iB that of the most effective government of these dependencies. Fortunately, that problem is one which 'has been practically solved by other nations, such as Great Britain, France, Germany and Holland, upon whom the course of events has laid the responsibility of administering the affairs of subject peoples. In an article on "A Trained Colonial Civil Service," in the October number of the North American Review, Prof. E. G. Bourne, of Yale, advises the United States to follow the example of these pioneers in colonization, especially in roviding means for the special education of colonial civil servants. Professor Bourne lays stress on the importance of these officials knowing the Spanish language: "Neither Ouba nor Porto Rico is likely ever to be populated by Englishspeaking Americans. Our ideas, no doubt, will pervade these islands to some extent, but that their civilization will cease to be Spanish is highly improbable. Their inhabitants are a civilized people, heirs, like ourselves, of an European culture, possessing a noble language, a splendid literature, and a highly developed jurisprudence. This inheritance they will never voluntarily give up, nor can they be forced to sacrifice it without tyranical oppression. Those who think differently should Btudy the case of French Canada, or, even better, the case of JiOaisiana."

English War Offices Given £3,000,000 Toward Expenses of a Confliot.

ULTIMATUM BY ERTJGER

Reported to Have Been Received by the British Government Preparations For Embarking: a Large Force and Securing Transports 60 Steadily On—Situation at New Castle.

London, Oct. 5.—The Transvaal Republic has seized $41,000,000 in gold at Johannesburg. This aotion is regarded by 'the London morning press as an act of war. Humors are also current that the Transvaal ultimatum has beeu presented. The situation is hourly growing more critical.

The most interesting announcement in connection with the Trausvaal crisis was that the chancellor or the exchequer, Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, has already sanctioned the provisional expenditure of £3,000,000, aud that the government will not exceed that limit without? authority from'pariiament, which will be asked to vote a sum not exceSding £8,000,000.

5

A meeting of the war board yesterday discussed and drew up arrangements to ensure the safety of the route from Durban to Laings Nek, so that large bodies of troops, on disembarkation, be rapidly forwarded up the country to the front without ctiiifusion or crowding.

It is stated that the war office has decided that army corps for service in South Africa shall be much larger than originally estimated, and that it now consists of over 40,000 men. The preparations for the dispatch of this force, inoluding the chartering of big ocean liners, is steadily and satisfactorily proceeding.

A telegram from Brussels gives, from a "well informed source," the news that Dr. Leyds, the representative in Europe of the South African republic, has received confirmation of the report that President Kruger had addressed an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding the withdrawal of the British forces from the frontier within 48 hours, and that it was delivered on Monday. The report, however, still lacks offlolal confirmation.

The confidence 01 the military authorities at the cape is shown by a dispatch received last night from Cape Town, which states that at a conference between the military authorities there aud General Sir George White, V. O., who will command British forces in Natal, and Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Walker, held to consider the situation, General White expressed himself as confident that the British would be able to present a force sufficient to repeal any attack.

General White, who intended to go to Durban on board a warship, has now, in order to save time, abandoned the idea and went by train last night.

Aline steamer left Lourenzo Marquez, Pelagoa bay, yesterday with 1,200 Raud refugees. Large numbers were left behind and all traiug are qrOwded with those taking part in the exodus from the Trausvftal,

A dispatch frerfn Volkarust fays the jBoer camp on the Natal border now comprises 8,000 men, and is growing daily. The camp breathes a religious fervor. The commissariat arrangements, the dispatch sayB, are defective. One of the largest corps lay in the veldt without shelter during a heavy thunderstorm.

Commandant General Joubert is momentarily expeoted to assume command of the Boer forces.

FIGHTING

Report That the British Troops Have Crossed the Frontier. Bloemfontem, Oct. 6.—The government published a telegram from Boshof stating that the British forces have crossed the border and that fighting has commenced. The government discredits the report.

The town is. animated and. armed Boers are riding about. The Command called here is under Prihsloo,"a Majuba hill veteran. The men appear fit for service. It was at first intended to dispatch them immediately to the frontier, but it has been decided to hold them here in readiness for service.

Situation Most Critical. London, Oot. 5.—A special dispatoh from Newcastle, Natal, dated Wednesday, says, "The Boers have left the Laager at Yolksrust and are moving toward the frontier. The situation is most critical. The magistrates and municipal officers have assembled1 in the town hall to oonooct measures' for the defense of the town against an expeoted attack. All the women and children have been ordered to leave for the interior of Natal."

Boers Seize Gold.

Londpn, Oot. 6.—A special dispatch from Pretoria says the Transvaal government has seized gold to the value of £800,000, whioh is now lodged in the state mint. The government, the dispatch adds, will indemnify the banks to whioh the gold is consigned.

Wedding In High Lifb.

Youngstown, O., Oct 6.—Cards have been issued for the marriage of Miss Yiole Deetrick and William MoKinley Duncan of Cleveland, a nephew of President McKinley. The wedding is to occur on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the home of the bride in this oitf, and Fretdent McKinley will attend.

CHICAGO FESTIVAL

Opened Last Night With a Promenade Concert—Elcctrical Decorations. Chicago, Oct. 5.—Withmusio, streapis of light and patriotic enthusiasm Chi* cago's fall festival waf formally opened last evening in the presence of a vast throng. At 8 o'olock a promenade concert was given at Madison and State streets. The court of honor was packed With an immense throng of curious sightseers until midnight.

Thousands of people came down town to hear the Mexican band play, but went awav disannointed. Through a mitander8tanfitig~lfie Mexican organization did not participate in the promenade concert in the court of honor as had been ahnounced, 1 and a local band was substituted.

The electric light decorations on State street are beyond anything in that line ever attempted in Chicago, and although not all of them were in working order last night, the effect was beautiful. The evehing concerts and illumination will eomprise the festival programme until the arrival of President MoKinley on Saturday night, when the first parade, that of the bicyolists, will be held.

FINANCE BILL

Senate Committee's Measure Not on .a:.. Same Lines as the House. Washington, Oct. 6—The Post today says: "On the fMt day of the approaohing session of congress the senate financial bill will be introduced in the latter body. It will not be on the same lines as the house, but it will declare without equivocation for the gold standard. Senator Aldrich, who, as chairman of the finance committee, has taken a prominent nart in the framing of the Bill, said yesterday that the measure had been prepared, but that it would not be made public until it had been shown to a number of Republican senators. It is the present intention of the finance committee to ask a speedy consideration of the bill in the senate in order that it may be disposed of as early in the session as possible."

EVANGELICAL

Twenty-Fourth Quadrennial Convention Being Held at St.* Paul. St. Paul, Oct. 6. This morning Bishop Escher of Chicago opened the 24th quadrennial oanvention of the" Evangelical association, a religious organization which has been in existence for almost a century. The convention will ooatinue for three weeks. There are 115 accredited delegates to the conference.

There are delegates from China, Japan, Great Britain, Switzerland and Canada in attendance. No regular order of business is provided, and the meetings of the convention today were taken up largely with addresses and the naming of standing committees.

The meeting was presided over in rotation by the four bishops of the church, Bishops Escher and Boman of Chicago, Bishop Horn of Cleveland and Bishop Breyfogle of Reading, Penn.

GENERAL COLLAZO Can't Understand Why Americans Object to Shipment of Arras Into Cuba.

Havana, Oct. 5.—Referring to the order prohibiting the bringing of arms td the ialaiid, General Enrique Who WAS a member of thd staff of thef* late General Oalixto Garcia/ sid ^hoj5 from time to' time, has attacked^'t^e^' American "military admiuistsatioq,' through the Havana press, says he cannot understand why, after a year of perfect order in Ouba, owing to the good sense of the Cubans, the Americans continue observing the precautions whioh were necessary during the state of siege. Such senseless orders, he declares, show the lack of faith the Americans have in the Cubans, and also the fear with which the Americans are inspired Dy the idea that the Cubans, who saved them from annihilation on the hills of El Caney, should have arms in their hands.

Rioting Millet's.

Decatur, Ills., Oct. 5.—A crowd of ,200 striking miners gathered at the new shaft here to prevent nonunion miners from entering the shaft. This they were successful in doiug, but only after •they had assaulted four .negroes and two white miners who were on their way to.work in the mine. The police rescued the nonunion miners, but made no arrests.
