England Prepares for War.

According to a telegram from London,
Queen VICTORIA signed on Saturday proc
lamation convoking Parliament for Oct. II,
and authorizing the mobilization of the re-
serves 1t Is said that the reserves thus
called out. added to the army corps which
began mobilizing yesterday, will raise
the force to be despatched to South
Africa under Sir REDvERs BUTLER to-
nbout so, 900 men. AS there are now in
South Africa, since the arrival OF the
first detachment OF the Anglo-Indian
contingent, nearly $4,000 men, and rs
at least 5000 moro are on their way
from India to the Cape, the number Of
regulars at the disposal OF the British COM
mander will be, ultimately, upward Of
10000. This looks like an overwhelming
display of strength, in view OF the fact that
tho Transvaal and the Orange Free State,
as we have previously pointed out, can
scarcely expect to place in the field much
over 40. 900 men, OF whom a part would be
required to maintain order among the Out
landers and to avert rising Of the blacks.
The definite steps taken on Saturday, in
volving as they will n large expenditure Of
money, indicate conviction on the part OF
the British Ministers that war Is inevitable
1t Is trhe that no reply to Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN's last despatch has been received from
the Transvaal, nor could any be reasonably
looked for, inasmuch as Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
announced that he withdrew his proposal
for conference. and should himself pro-
coed to formulate demands with which the
South African Republic must comply That

tho Beers take for granted that the
terms formulated will be inadmissible.
Under the circumstances, it was supposed
week ago that the Beers would take
advantage Of the temporary weakness of
the British forces in South Africa and
endeavor to beat them piecemeal. Az
matter OF fact, however, the armed
burghers. massed upon the Transvaals
eastern frontier, have thus far refrained
from invading Natal. 1t is said that both
President KRUGER and General JoUBERT
have given their levies explicit and rigorous
orders TO mako no aggressive movement.
For these orders there is said to be a two
fold motive. In the first place, the promise
OF the Orange Free State to assist the
Transvaal is based on the condition that
the latter State shall plant itself on the

THE COST OFGAe.


The Cincinnati Gas Company, which
is dickering with the city to sell out
its plant to the municipality at high
figure, has confessed that 1t cost them
nothing to make gas, as the by-prod-
ucts more than paid all the bills and
that at SOC per 1000 for gas for fuel
and 75c for gas for Illuminating pur-
poses the business paid a profit OF s
per cent. on capital stock more than
half of which was water.
If the books of the Cincinnati Gas
Company, as is alleged, show that BY
products, in modern plant, will pay
The cost of gas-making, the city of
Wheeling has a better thing than was
ever suspected by the most ardtht
friend of the Gas Board, and it woLid
appear that some serious attention on
the part of Council to the gas making
department of the city government
would be about the best thing in the
way of an investment the city could
make. Whatever can be done in Cin-
cInnati ought to be possible in Wheel
ing, for coal is certainly cheaper in
Wheeling than in the city named.
Here is a chance for some Council
man willing to make great record for
himself, and do the city real service
