felt that. the Shamrock showing in light weather Justified a change In the opinion j that she would not be In it with the Colum- i Ma wh?n the wind was very light. When discussing' the Shamrock's big rig. Sir i

Thomas said he did not count much on the huge club topsail that has been sent aloft the past two race days. ,-It Is a magnificent sail." said he. "but I do not think it will be eerviceable In any race that can be sailed in less than Ave hours. In running btfore the wind I think 4t will be useful, and in light air I count on It being of Just as much benefit as her mainsail, but then we have top sails of all sizes and If necessary my men can lower the large and have a smaller one In place tn ten minutes, so that It will not lose us much time if wo d have to take it off in a race." Fair weather is again the prediction for to-morrow. For a period of ten days or nore an almost unbroken calm has prevailed around and about Now York. To the north, along" the New England coast, and over the famous Marblehead course which Kastern yachLwien are so fond of talking1 rbout. good yachting weather has prevailed. Ir strength it has. at times, reached as hljh as ten to fifteen knot From the south and west similar reports come. PLENTY OF CONFIDENCE. Copt. Darr and Nat Herenhoflf Perfectly Capable of Sailing the Yacht. NEW YORK. Oct. 13. There Is a feeling among the Columbia people and by this Is meant the men who are managing the boat that the public has been misled to a degree In regard to the handling of the Columbia on race days. They feel that certain comments have been unjust In that they lead one to believe that Captain Barr is entirely alone so far as professional talent Is concerned. At the New York Tacht Club to-night a yachtsman of national reputation, and one deeply Interested In the success of the Columbia, authorized the Associated Press to say that not only is Captain Barr not alone in the failing of the American boat, but he has at all times at his side for immediate counsel and advice the most skillful yacht bailor In all the world in the person of Nat Herreshoff. The owners and backers of the Columbia, Including the amateur yachtsmen on board, have the utmost confidence In Mr. Herreshon. not only as a skillful designer of lacers but also a3 a great race Fallor. With Captain Charlie Barr at the wheel and Designer Herreshoff at his side the Columbia people are firm In their conviction that the test professional sailors In the land have been engaged. "Further than this the owners and backers of the Columbia, who are now on board, have also the feeling that the professionals have the backing of the best amateur talent obtainable. They have Just as mucli confidence In Mr. Iselin and his friends a3 ever, and they point to past success and whole seasons of admirable management as a foundation of their confidence. ' . This is the feeling among all therCold. Tibia people to-night, and so far as can be learned it Is the feeling of the New York Yacht Club. There is no lack of harmony in the management, and, lest the American public, so much Interested In the boat, should misunderstand, a leadings yacht-club man has asked this to be made public. SCHOOL DESTROYED. Archbishop Feehan's Institution, Near Chicago, la Darned. CHICAGO, Oct. 13. St. Mary's Training School, at Feehanville, burned to the ground to-day.

The fire originated in the chapel during vesper services and was not discovered until it had gained considerable headway. The fire apparatus at hand was inadequate, and by the time engines arrived from Desplaines, two mlle3 away, nearly every building was in flames. St. Mary's school was a Roman Catholic industrial institution for boys. Its founder was Archbishop Feehan, of Chicago. The Insurance amounted to W,000. Porter Saved Women at a Fire. HUDSON. N. Y., Oct. 13. The Windsor Hotel was destroyed by fire early this morning, and Wallace C Hall, a drummer for a Philadelphia publishing company, was suffocated.

Major Marchand, who commanded the French expedition Into the Sudan, It Is stated, wished to go and fight for the Boers as revenge for being obliged to withdraw from Fashoda, but the government refused him permission to Join the Boer forces. IRVING AND TERR V. They Have Sailed for the United States to Brighten Vp Their Wits. LONDON, Oct. 15. Despite their earlier Intention to take a faster ship. Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry, with their full company, sailed for the United States this mcrnlng on tje Atlantic transport line steamer Marquette, which is due to arrive in New York on Oct. 25 or 26. A large number of professional and personal friend? accompanied the actors from the Albert dock to Graves-end and a farewell breakfast was held on the ship. Among those present were MesT3. Comyns Carr, Henry Dickens, son of the novelist, Robert Tabor and Miss Alma Tadema. To a reporter of the Associated Press Sir Henry said: "While this Is our fifth American tour, I feel that we have never gone to the United States under more auspicious circumstances. In the first place, the cordlallty between the two nations was never greater than it Is at present, and while my personal relations with American theater goers have always been of the. most delightful character, it is pleasant to feel that the two nations now recognize the ties of kinship as never before. I believe that Robespierre.' with which we will open at the Knickerbocker, will Justify my faith in transporting such an elaborate production. I wanted to give my American friends something entirely new, and I had them much in mind while selecting the piece. Then, too, it is always an inspiration to play to American audiences, and Mlsa Terry and myaelf really look upon our tour as a means of brightening up our faculties, as well as of entertaining our American friends." William Expresses Ills Sympathy. BERLIN, Oct. 13, Emperor William has sent a long telegram of sympathy to Mrs. J. Bruce Ismay, at Liverpool, on her husband a illness, expressing the hope that Mr. Ismay will recover, "as he Is one of the Inos.t. Prominent figures In the shipping world. "He Is well known to me." savs his- MaJestyJln tne telSTam. "from a visit I paid to the Teutonic years ago. I have Just heard, from a German who was a passenger on the Oceanic, that she is a marvel of perfection and well worthy of the celebrated line and her illustrious owner." Xevr French Social mil. LILLE, France, Oct. 13. M. Millerand, minister of commerce, In a speech here today, announced that M. Waldeck-Rousseau, the premier, intended to submit to the Chamber of Deputies a bill dealing with the law of association. The government said M.

Nuns Coming- to America. QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 15. The Cunard line steamer Etruria, from Liverpool, yesterday, which sailed hence to-day for New York, has among her passengers thirty Irish ladies, postulants for the Sisterhood of Divine Providence, who are on their way to San Antonio, Tex. Porte Denies the Allegation. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 15.-The Porte denies the statement, telegraphed from Bucharest last week, that the Sultan had drowned, in the Bosphorus, several ladies of the harem for alleged complicity with members of the Young Turkish party. OVER THE LINE. (Conclnded from First Page.) communication to Mafeking, therefore, is understood to bo Setlagolil. sixty miles away. While It is the general belief that the Boers are attacking Mafeking, there is still no confirmation of the report3. If the Boers had met with any success It would surely have been announced, as the only telegraphic communication is In the hands of the burghers. The absence of news, therefore, is regarded as a good sign. From Cape Town The German consul general has Issued a proclamation of neutrality, commanding all Germans to hold aloof from hostilities. From Durban Communication by means of scouts Is maintained between Ladysmith and Acton Homes, which It is reported the Boers from Tintwa Pass contemplate attacking. The Free State laager below Van Reenan's Pass Is said to be four miles long and to have at least twelve guns. It is expected it will await the British attack. a CANADA'S CONTINGENT. It Will Sail for Cape Colony Abont the End of This Month. OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 15. The Canadian contingent for South Africa will sail from Quebec on the Allan liner Sardinian about the end of the month. Lieutenant Colonel Otter, of Toronto, will have command of the contingent. The steamer will sail direct for Cape Town. The work of enrollment is going on rapidly. Sir Charles Tupper to-day addressed a letter to Premier Laurier, In which he objected strongly to the mother country paying any part of the expenses in connection with the Canadian contingent. Sir Wilfrid replied to the effect that that government was following the course laid down by the commander-in-chief of the British forces, who had cabled to the effect that as the Canadians would be attached to different regiments In the Imperial service the home government would pay them and their ex. peruses, after they had been landed in South Africa. T Greene Well Treated. CAPE TOWN. Oct. 15, Evening. Conyinghara Greene, British agent at Pretoria, received every civility on hLs Journey from the Transvaal capital. Six of President Kruger's bodyguard accompanied Mr. Greene to the border of the Free titate and he received the same courteous treatment in the Free State.

Information About Natal, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. New York Times. "H." is informed that Natal is an integral part of the British Empire. It has no connection with or similarity to the Transvaal or the Orange Free State, In 1S5S it was erected into a separate colony of the British crown, and its government is administered under a charter which was granted in 1S56. and modified In 1ST5 and 1ST3. There is a legislative Council and Assembly. The Governor appoints the ministers and the members of the legislative Council. The Orange Free State, called by Its citizens Oranje Vrijstaat, gained its independence in 1S54. It was founded, as was the Transvaal, or South African Republic, by Boers, who left Cape Colony in 1SC5 and the following years. Its Constitution was proclaimed April 10. 1S54. It is a republic, has a prident and a popular assembly called the Volksraad. of fifty-seven members The president is chosen for five years, and he Is assisted by an Executive Council. The South African Republic has a government similar to that of the Orange Free State. It was formerly part of Natal, but separated from this colony on Its annexation to the British crown. The British government recognized the independence of the republic in 12. It has two chambers. First and Second Volltsraad. of twenty-four members each. The Transvaal was annexed by Great Britain in 1S77, but regained Its partial Independence in the war of 1SS1, England relinquishing control of Internal affairs. Again in 1S4 the British suzerainty was considerably restricted. Great Britain is represented at Pretoria by a diplomatic agent Instead of a resident. The word "burgher" meana citizen, and applies equally to both th Orarge Free State and the South African Republic. "Boer" means "farmer" (German "bauer"), and applies to the citizens of both countries. BSSBSSSBSBSSSBSBBWSSBSinBSSBBSSSSMBSSSSSSSSSSSaBSSSSSSSBSSsaBS FUNERAL OF AGU1RE. Dody of the Dead Cnhan General Is Buried with Military Honors. HAVANA, Oct. 13. The remains of Gen. Jose Garcia Aguire, who died of pneumonia In 1S06, were exhumed at Jaruco and brought to Havana, where they lay in state last night In the municipal building. They were visited by a large number of Cubans. Today a procession consisting of 150 members of the Rural Guard, 400 policemen, two fire brigades and six hearses laden with wreaths, was formed and marched through the town, which was hung with mourning, to the cemetery, where the remains were placed yesterday in a vault. The remains were carried to a gun carriage, which bore them to the cemetery by Generals La Cret and Menocal and other Cuban officers. Two bands marched in the procession. Governor General Brooke was represented by Captain Parge, and General Ludlow by Lieutenant Carpenter. The procession, which in some parts was very much disjointed, was two miles in length. A negro and two Cubans became engasred In a dispute in a cafe, and one of the Cubans raised the color question. The negro replied to the Cuban's remarks, and another Cuban named Acota drew a knife and stabbed tho colored man."- Acosta ran Into the street and entered a neighboring house. into which he was followed by a policeman, who attempted to arrest him. Acosta attempted to stab the policeman, but the officer drew his pistol and shot him dead. A crowd Immediately gathered about the place, and when the facts became known divided, the negroes on one side and the whites on the other. Much rancor and ill feeling is expressed by the negroes against the whites. El Diarlo de la Marina says that Mayor Lacoste's order regarding the Spanish flag has served forcibly to remind the Spaniards of their utter lack of personal guarantees under the existing conditions, and that the prudent self-resignation of the Spaniards, far from being appreciated, has only served to encourage the rabble, not only In Havana, but In many towns in the interior to further and more glaring acts of Injustice, outrage, coercion and Intimidation. El Diario also says that it has "Just received word that a number of merchants at Gulnes have been compelled to abandon their property and seek safety elsewhere. SHAFTER RETIRES TO-DAY Bnt He Retain Ills Rank in the Volunteer Array. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The retirement, to-morrow, of General Shafter at San Francisco will not affect that officer's rank In the volunteer establishment, or cause any change in his present command. As the case stands, General Shafter is a brigadier In the regular establishment and a major general of volunteers. He retires by law on Oct. 16, but the War Department does not deem it expedient to relieve him of his command at the Presidio and to place in charge there some other officer whose . grasp of the many details connected with the return of the volunteers from the Philippines and forwarding of new regiments would be less complete than that of General Shafter. The precedent for retaining General Shafter in his volunteer rank was established In the case of Graham at Camp Meade last year. The retirement of General Shafter will make room for the promotion of either General Lawton or General MacArthur to the rank Of brigadier general In the regular establishment. . i FOR CARRYING MAILS.

SOLDIERS AT HONOLULU AXXIOIS TO GET TO THE PHILIPPINES. Stow Themselves Away on the Transport for that Purpose Cargo of Horses Arrives In Bad Shape. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. lo.-The steamer Gaelic brings- the following advices from Honolulu under date of Oct. S: "The hospital ship Relief and the transports Tacoma, Sherman and Grant have all departed for Manila. Previous to the departure of the Tacoma the military authorities caused a search to be made for five soldiers of the hospital corps, stationed here, who had stowed themselves away on board the ship in hope of getting to Manila. It is thought that the other missing men are on the Tacoma, The Sixth Artillery Batteries stationed here have lost between twenty and thirty men in the last few days bydesertlon. All the soldiers here are anxious to be sent to Manila. The men think they can steal aboard a transport and, on arrival, report to the officers of the Sixth at Manila and escape with slight punishment. The soldiers are willing to stand thirty days In the guardhouse for the sake of getting to the scene of the war. "The British ship Antelope, which has been in port since July, will be kept here for months longer. Captain Murray, who owns and commands the vessel, desires to take her to the sound for a cargo of coal, but she Is held here by the agents of W. R. Grace & Co., who have made a claim against her on account of the captain's refusal to accept a charter they made for her. They demand $3,400 damages, alleged to have been sustained as a result of his action. The case is likely to be settled in the courts here. . "The transport Centennial arrived from San Francisco on the 5th. She brought 300 horses, sixty of them hanging on slings and ready to die from simple exhaustion. Two of them died after reaching port. The horses had been at sea for eight days, each one fastened to a stall Ju?t wide enough and long enough for Its body. For eiyht days the suffering animals had no sleep or rest whatever. They stood and kept balance with the rolling of the ship. A few days more and many deaths from exhaustion could not have been avoided. The horses started as fresh, spirited animals, brought from Nevada and Oregon. They arrived thin and Jaded, a large proportion of them only kept alive by stimulants. About twenty gallons of alcohol was given to the hordes during the Centennial's trip. The animals were unloaded here and will be turned out to papture until the return of the transport from San Francisco. "The Cabinet recently considered a petition from the Planters Association to eliminate a clause In the Immigrant rules reQuiring that 10 per cent, of all contract laborers brought Into the country Bhall be Europeans and Americans. The point is that a bond 19 required for compliance with this rule, and the same Is forfeited If the proportion named Is not adhered to. The planters want this bond requirement annulled. The government decided that, while the planters had acted In good faith in their endeavors to secure American and European laborers, it did not fe&l it had the authority to eliminate the clause referred to, holding that the authority rested with the Legislature only." '''SBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSBBSBBSS) WOMEN IN PRETORIA Unhappy Decanie of the Prospect of War. Letter in Boston Transcript. The Boers here in Pretoria are some of them sanguine, some sad. some bitter. Yesterday I went for a walk and came across two advocates' wives one English and one Welsh. Both at their husbands are burghers and must fight, so they are going away to-day. They were heart-broken and miserable. One leaves a lovely home and a garden that l.3 a picture of beauty, and the other one has a new house which she hoped would be finished in ' September; but she says her husband Is doing nothing, literally nothing, and he cannot sell any property, debts staring him In the face, and instead of being a wealthy, busy, young lawyer, he Is overwhelmed as he looks at the present stagnation. Farther sn I met a doctor's wife who means to stay on and do ambulance work. If necessary. She Is a descendant of one of the oldest French colonial families, and feels assured and safe in politics, and is altogether serene. She has given up her house, stored her furniture and is in rooms belonging to a friend, so she has no property worries. One of the great Johannesburg trials Is - that wealthy and even ordinarily well-to-do people can sell nothing and they are allowed only one hundred pounds luggage on the trains unless they pay extra, 6o what they are to do with their homes and furniture and whether anything stored away will be safe are among their problems. I walked back with a dear woman, an English trained nurse. She thinks of going to Cape Colony on Sept. 1 and trying to get work there. Fortunately she has two patients going too, so she is wise to follow them: but as we came along and looked up the street at our lovely avenue of oaks in their faint, sweet robes of green, and saw the peach trees with their lovely masses of pink blooms, and as the odors of roses and orange blossoms greeted in, she said: "Isn't it sad to have to go, either because there is no work and no money there or because of fear? And I do love Pretoria!" After dinner I returned two books to a neighbor, a very beautiful, aristocratic girl, who prides herself on her Afrikander ancestry. No New York Knickerbocker, no daughter of the Puritans, no Colonial Dame, .no English peeress was ever more proud of her pedigree than this maiden. "How is your mother?" I asked. "Oh, her heart Is very sad. She Is mourning so for our people. The English have always pursued and persecuted our race, and niv mother's hart is full of grief for tho wives of the burghers on lonely farms who must be left alone to the mercy of the Kaffirs while our men go out to shoot. We don't fear the English, but we do have a horror of Kaffirs." It Is a peculiarity of all people colonial born I mean Cape Colonialsthat they dread the natives. Is It remembrance of old scores not wiped out? Just now there is a great deal of scorn and contempt exhibited over the marriage of Lo Bengula. the up-country chief. an English girl. Miss Jewel. It is unfortunate hot- this m-wtrtrred marrlare has occurred lust now, for the racial feeling will be made I Llll.. V- It more DUier n. Well, to return to my talk with this girl, who might worthily be a sister to a princess In her proud beauty, her simple but finely fitting dre? and her lofty mien. I said: "Agnes, are you not cultivating race hatred, and will it not make you hard and bitter?" "We must cultivate It, and wV do. It Is necessarv in our feud and It helps to keep us up. We may be wrong, but we refuse to look at the matter from any other Ptandpoint. We might be made to see things, but we prefer to take the point of sight of our poor, uneducated people, and we scorn to take a modern view." She says she will not leave, but stay on and aid and abet the Boer caupe If she dies in the attempt! "But. Agnes, what of your many English friends and all your English relatives and your own English blood?" "I Ignore everyone and everything English now, and I put them all out of the question and do not consider them!" Now. this girl's mother is of old Dutch and Huguenot blood: her father was English; she was educated at English schools and belongs to the Episcopal Church. Yet In war she says all is fair, and she hates and will give all her Influence against imperialism. The war Issues now are reallj' not the franchise, not the grievances, but to have peace and stability in the land, and that the Boers do not see, or else refuse to give. I asked the field cornet's wife yesterday about provisions. She says the town is well stocked, but she Intimated that the burghers' families would have the best chance in case of siege or famine. During the last Boer war in 11. when martial law was proclaimed. Sir Owen Lanyon, the English ruler, was in charge, and everyone, Boer and English, was treated alike, but this time we have a worse outlook. I also asked if we should have to go Into laager, or to the forts, and she said she thought not. She thinks all the families in the suburbs will be ordered in and the town itself secured. A ladv came in at 5 o'clock to say that in Pietefmaritzburg there are special meetings arranged for refugees and places to receive them, but the Boers tell me that Pietermaritzburp, being the capital of Natal and one of the old Dutch towns taken by the English about 1S3S, will be one of the places to be attacked and burnt first of alk or blown up by the Boers! They say that Johannesburg and Pitermarltzburg are the objects of their direct venom and hatred. Kimberley, because of Ithode's interests there, is also an unsafe place, On? of the mine owners telegraphed to all his mines at Johannesburg last week to have the women and children sent down to Cape Colony. It was said to be- an impressive and yet fearful fight at the railway station to watch the women with their househould belongings tied up in Quilts

SSSiJ fnt r&Jhus?nds of them and hun0fLnlsh mIner leaving In open VtLA available carriage was ESS. an1 vA houkeeper at one of the S!- alef iher2 for advlc Tuesday. She says only four women are left at that mine now and there are 12,000 natives in a compound near. She Is eight miles Irom a railway and usually goes to town on her bicycle. She is keeping house for two mine managers, the doctor and lawyer, but she does not know whether it Is safe to stay there now, though she Is well contented and has a good salary. Should war come she would be in great danger. These clouds have gone on. and though we expect the storm to burst as a bolt from the blue, yet we do not any of us know how soon it will come. If I really stay I must besln to provision my house before Sept. 1. Our storekeeper says he can provide for all his customers and is well supplied. The town has from 20.V to 40.000 bags cf American flour and Pretoria seems as safe as a place as any. Tho scnoo's go on and the household routine and we wait, hoping for a settled country and a peaceable revolution that may bring peace. Still, the outlook is most serious, and it seemed strange last mail to think all my American friends treated It so lightly. . . SPEAKER FELL DEAD.

Female Socialist "Was Addressing a Big: Sleeting at New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 15. While addressing a Socialist women's meeting In a Secondavenue hall to-night Mrs. Florentine Cantius-Lange was stricken with apoplexy and died in a few minutes. Mrs. Cantius-Lange was a portly woman, about fifty-three years old, and often became excited when making speeches. Her subject was women's rights. In about ten minutes she suddenly stopped speaking and began gesticulating. Her face became almost black and she began to totter. Several women cn the platform ran to her and caught her aa she was falling, but not quickly enough to prevent her from reaching the floor. Some of the women began to scream. Others went for a physician, and in the meantime Mrs. Cantius-Lange's friends tried to revive her. When the physician arrived she was dying and was dead in a few minutes. Mrs. Cantius-Lange came from Berlin, Germany, about seven years ago, and waa prominent as a socialistic agitator. Death of Commander Mason. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.

No Attempt to Recover Bodies from the llurned Nutmes State. NEW YORK, Oct. 15. All that remains of the steamer Nutmeg State, which was burned to the water's edge early yesterday morning at Sand Point, L. I., are the twisted and blackened arms of steel and Iron surrounded by the huge copper bottom, which lies in the surf. Somewhere in the debris are believed to be five bodies, but it will be some days before these can be reached. These are supposed to be in the forward part of the hulk, where the men were imprisoned by the fire. No attempt was made to recover any cf the bodies today, as the debris still gave forth smoke, but tho work will be commenced to-morrow. The bodies of the women and little girl which washed ashore yesterday are at an undertaking establishment at Port Washington. No one called to-day to Identify them. The body of an unknown man was picked up by a yacht to-day and taken to Stamford, Conn. The death list foots up nine. TOM JOHNSON IN LOUISVILLE. He 31 ay Take a. Hand In Traction Lines and Politics. Louisville Dispatch. Tom L. Johnson, philanthropist (limited), capitalist (unlimited), and politician (uncertain). Is to once more take up his abode In Louisville. Mrs. Johnson and their daughter. Miss Bessie, will accompany him, and the family will be at the Gait for the winter. The society reporters have announced that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, who are now at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, come to their former home, Louisville, to bring out their daughter in society. This will be hailed with pleasure, for Miss Johnson Is a most charming girl and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are widely popular in the best circles. But then there is some more to Mr. Johnson's coming. He has business Interests firesent and prospective that he cares to ook after. Not only Is he Interested in many of the DuPoru properties, but he has schemes of some magnitude on the side, besides being a trustee for the estate of the late A. V. DuPont. And more. The rotund financial magnate has a hand in some Kentucky coal companies, and his potent hand has had much to do with recent consolidation of these Interests. And still irore. Mr. .fohnson has designs on the street-railway fcyatm of Louvsvills. The Duront boys, T. C, of Johnstown. Pa., and A. B., of Detroit, have but small holdings now n this corpo.M'.lon. having gradually lost out. But tney want to get in again. And Tom Johnson, who got his financial start with Bldeman Dupont, now in Europe, is playing in the same club with the boya After having given Indianapolis, Cleveland and Brooklyn a touch of high life and street-car deals, not to mention ihe svvlit gait set for Detroit recently. Mr. Johnson comes hither to conquer another motor territory. He has said that he wants to secure control of the street-car system and "jiu-d-ernize" it, and it is well known by those who have been up against It that the Johnson modernizing plant Is one of the warmest members In the whole octopus flock. To this end the DuPonts and Johnson some time ago began to daub K'ng Minory's Louisville trolleys with a foul I rand of printer's ink. A so-called newspaper, run on the gift enterprise plan, was established here and a war of extermination was evened on the stock of the Louis zille liallway Company. But as the feeole souve o:' attack soon proved its own fncompclercy, Tom Johnson finds it neca&sary to come himself and take a whirl in municipal polltics and things. For you- Cousin Tom is no tattered tout when it comes to municipal politics. It was after the printed iisorganizer war started here to disturb Mr. Mlnary's corporation ward that Mr. Johnson hit the hot end of his Cleveland, O., newspaper, which was brought Into life for a purpose similar to the deal now hatching in Louisville. Mr. Johnson got the heavy swell In his Cleveland newspaper for some JSO.OOO, If not $100,CO0. and as the same tide was flowing here he resolved to do less editing and more buttonholing. All of which means a lively electric campaign in Louisville, with municipal ownership farces and reduced fare bluffs doing a double turn in the center of the stage. Ninety Dollars a Plate. Washington Post. "I was at a dinner In New York city lti?s than a fortnight ago that broke tho record for cost," said Mr. E. M. Montrose, of the metropolis. "It was a feast such as old Lucullus or Epicurus never dreamed of, and even in this luxurious epoch few of Its kind are seen. It was given by a gentleman who had Just reached, the thirtieth anniversary of his birth, coincident with which he came into possession of 1 400.000, left by a relative who did not want him to have possession of that much cash till he had reached an ago where, presumably, he would be discreet enough to take care of his inheritance. "To this dinner he invited nineteen guests, the host completing the even score who sat down in the beautifully decorated banquet room. The bill for this entertainment was shown me, and 1 confess that it gave me a shock as I read the rigures-$l.$4. But slight figuring will show that this made the cost per plate exceed $W. The gentleman who gave this expensive dinner paid the bill merrily enough, and I don't suppose that he thought the price at all excessive. Nobody knows better than he does the tariff on Burgundy over fifty yea ni old. which was drunk that night as copiously as though it were beer at 5 cents a bottle." Still Unsettled. Detroit Journal. When the uncertainty had become wellnigh intolerable, Science ventured to go to the Serpent directly. "Is it or Is it not a fact. O Serpent." asked Science, "that you swallow your young when you are attacked?" "Well. I always try to hold my own." replied the Serpent, modestly, it ia true, but evasively, withal. And so the bitter controversy wages on.

Gen. Pet to b Jnroban Joabert and Ills Assistants. G-en. P. J. Joubert is the most celebrated fighter in South Africa. He is the commander-in-chief of the Boer army, and is looked upon as the country's savior In the event of war with the English. The general Is sixty-eight years old now and scarred by many a wound from English bullet and native assagai. Yet he Is sturdy of frame and keen of eye, and withal crafty as a North American Indian. He led the Boers at Majuba hill, where 2S0 Englishmen gave up their lives. General Joubert losing but five men. He beat the English at Laing's Nek. commanded the forces at Bronkhurst and Spruit, and finally caught Jameson like a rat in a trap through quick mobilization of troops and superior marksmanship. He fought in the native wars when Paul Kruger was commander, ajid these two became bosom, friends, though they have grown apart eomewhat in recent years. They and one other Boer were selected to conduct the affairs of the Transvaal when It was In rebellion against England In 1SS1, and General Joubert has several times come within a few votes of beating Oom Paul for the presidency. He will probably be the next to assume that position, as he holds different views from Kruger. He believes that if the uitlanders were given the franchise In a reafwnable time they would become good citizens, and' that this Is the way to solve the problem. At the same time he will not sanction any sort of a revolt, and when the Jameson raiders were landed safely In Pretoria Jail he favored shooting them. Joubert can collect his whole army in forty-eight hours, a speedier mobilization than any other nation can boast of. He has divided the Transvaal Into seventeen divisions, each under a commander. They are subdivided into sections, commanded by field cornets and assistant field cornets. When the tocsin is sounded the field cornets ride from one farm to another until the whole country is warned. General Jouberfs full name Is Petrus Jacobus Joubert. The commanding general is elected by the people of the republic every ten years and the citizens have the greatest confidence in Joubert. His general adjutant is also the chief of the Transvaal prison system, who for a time had Dr. Jameson and his comrades under his care as prisoners. His name Is Adolph Schiel, a German. About thirty years ago he was a hussar lieutenant in the Prussian army, which he left for a trip to South Africa. Finding himrelf short of money he became a transport driver in the service of a German colonist at Natal. With his transport wagon, which was drawn by from twelve to twenty oxen, he drove through the whole of South Africa. . Soon he became an inspector of economy and engaged himself to the daughter of a German missionary. Later he went to the Zulu king. Dlnlzulu, end becime hts induna. or adviser and minister. Dlnlzulu. the eldf-et son of Ketschwayo, called a troup of Boers into the land on the advice of Schiel and with their help and the Uzutus won a victory over the other chieftains. In lSvo Dmlzulu sent Schiel as his ambassador to Berlin, and he talked with Bismarck over the planned annexation of the country to Germany, but Bismarck held aloof from such a proceeding, as the English and Boers claimed prior righta In a short time afterward the Transvaal government became aware of Schiel's worth and appointed him native commissary of the Spelonks in North Transvaal, where he founded his own flock, built the farmhouse Rossbach. made for himself honors in the battles between the Boers and the Easutos and finally advanced to the place of adjutant to Joubert. Later he was called to Pretoria and made chief of all prisons of the Transvaal and made military captain, and on account of his artillery education was pent by the state to Prussia on sf ecial duty. After the Jameson raid Schiel planned and built the fort of Johannesburg. Till the beginning of this year he was commander of the fort, now commanded by Kloff, the son-in-law of Paul Kruger. The fort is supplied with Krupp guns of large caliber and of latest construction, and in a few hours would be able to level the town of Johannesburg. The number of able-bodied Boer warriors varies in report, but the number is between 20,X and 40. (0. A repulf r army like those maintained In Europe is nb.ent. The standing army !s very f mall. It is a kind of cn1et ccrps and contains the technical staff.. The principal strength of the Boers lies In their mounted Infantry. General MrCIernand Is Worse. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Oct. 13. Gen.

JEFFRIES'S INJURY. . Speculations to Whether It Will Prevent the Fiwtlc Ilattle. NEW YORK, Oct 13.-Whether the championship fight between Jeffries and Sharkey will be held as scheduled, on Oct, 27, or postponed on account of the champion having a strained arm, is uncertain as yet, but it will be definitely settled Tuesday morning. At that time the bandages will be removed and It depends on tho Advice of a physician whether he will continue to train for the original date. The physician who examined the arm thought the Injury was not serious and the latest advices from the training quarters are to the same effect. TV. A. Brady and Tom O'Ronrke will meet In New York Tuesday and decide what will be done. O'Rourko will take a decided step against a postponement, and thinks the Injury Is of no consequence Sharkey is of the same opinion and thinks Jeffries has some other reason for not wanting to ttght on Oct. 27. To-night O'Rourke said: MI believe Jeffries will be able to use his arm in three days as wett as he ever did In his life, and he must either fight or forfeit on Oct. 27. Sharkey had been kijured Just belfcre he fought Jeffries in San Francisco. A strain In his tack had affected his kidneys and. he wanted a postponement. It was not allowed and everybody knows the result. Since Sharkey has been training for this fight he has met with three accidents any one of which I believe was as bad as Jeffries' Injury. When it became known some time ago that Sharkey had cut his foot they said at once that he did not want to fight and that this was merely an excusie. To avoid this report being started again we said nothing of the other accidents and he will be ready to fight when the time comes.. There must be some other reason for Jeffries wanting axpostponement." Choynskl and Moore Matched. ST. LeOUIS, Mo., Oct. 15. It Is announced that Matchmaker and Iteferee Tim Hurst has matched Joe Choynskl and Dick Moore, to meet before the St. Louis Athletic Club Monday, Oct. 23. The match will be a twenty-round go. A Rugbf Football L.esrue. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, lnd., Oct. 15- At a conference of managers In this city , to-day thf Indiana Gas-belt Rugby Football League was organized. The membership Is composed of Elwood, Anderson, Montpeller, Gas City and Mlddietown. It Is the first professional league in this State.

On the Anderson team there are two members of last year's English champions, two of the Genoa team, which won the championship of Italy, one from the Dublin team, which won the Irish pennant, and the captain wis a member of the Llanelly tpam. which has held the championship of Wales for many years. The Rugby game Is to be played, the teams having fifteen men Instead of eleven. Each club Is allowed to carry eighteen men on its rolls. There will be no lack of patronage. In these titles there are 6.00") Welshmen, to say nothing cf others of foreign birth. Yellow Fever at Key West. KEY WEST. Fla., Oct. 15 The new cases of yellow fever number nine. No deaths have been reported in the past twenty-four hours. Georjre Ilonae. Roswell Field, in Chicago Post. Now that George has consented to accept a house and lot from his grateful countrymen we must commend his shrewdness in Intimating that he will take a residence already erected. George Is not a young man. and If he is going to have a home he would like to occupy it a few months before he Is called away. This Is natural and pardons ble. He has also materially lightened the labors of the committee by stipulating that he must reside in the fashionable quarter of Washington no fide street for George that he must have a southern exposure, four sleeping rooms and a dining room that will easily accommodate twenty persons. The committee thereupon announces that "the subscription list will remain open for some days." IVrhaps we are meddling with what dot-s not concern us, but It seem to us that if past contributions are to be confide red In connection with George's wishes that eubscription list must remain open for some years, and we are really In hearty sympathy with the committee, which le somewhat emtfarrassed by George's remark that he wishes the house at once, George is a very prompt and energetic gentleman, but there Is such a thing as overdone promptness, and a man who has a house to sell Is usually not so patriotic that he Is not ready to raise the price when opportunity offers. We notice that George has suggested that both General Miles and General Merrltt shall be banished to the Philippines. We hope that the popularity of these gallant officers with the ladles has nothing to do with George's sinister suggestion.
