first to one side of the street and then
the other, increasing their pace at ev-
cry Jump, and the spectators expected
at any moment to see the hack dashed
TO pieces on the sidewalk and its occu-
pant killed.
But by the time Eleventh street was
reached Mrs. Erlewine had seized the
reins. and while she could not check
the horses speed, she managed to keep
them from the sidewalks AS the team

house at Twelfth and K streets, Char

climbing in over the back, which was
no easy thing to do.
The plucky wheelman then took the
lines from Mrs. Erlewine and brought
the horses to q standstill in a short
time, drove them back and hande
over the outfit to the driver.
Those who Witnessed the runaway say
that Mr. Moves displayed remarka Bile
agility and nerve, and that but for him
the hack would undoubtedly have been
wrecked and it's occupant killed or ter

BEGINNING TO LOOK WARLIKE.
BRITISH CABINET CALLED TO
A COUNCIL.
The Transvaal Dispute the Cause
of the Hasty Summoning of
the Ministry.

LONDON, Sept. 6. = The Premier,
the Marquis of Salisbury, will come to
London to-day "wednesday from Wal
mer to confer with the Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, and a Cabinet council has been
summoned for Friday, urgent messages
having been sent to all the Ministers
requesting their attendance. There is
great activity at the Admiralty and
War offices and the Colonial office. Nu-
merous kilograms from South Africa
arrived at the Colonial office yester-
day (Tuesday), but their contents have
not been made public.
General Lord Wolseley, Field Mar
shall and Commander-inC Chief, is in
daily communication with the War
Office, as are also General Sir Evelyn
Wood, Adjutant-General to the forces,
and Colonel Hector Archibald McDor-
aid, Aide de Camp to the Queen.
The press association asserts that the
officers of the Highland Light Infantry
at Davenport notified their men last
evening to prepare for departure, prob
ably on Thursday
The Daily Mali expresses the opin-
ion that the next move will be an ul-
timatum unless President Kruger
yields" 1t declares that $4,000 men is
the outside number that the Transvaal
Government can put into the field.
The Berlin correspondent of the
DAILY Mail" says: II learn from
Boer sources that reliable news has
been received from The Hague at Pre-
toria to the effect that President Kru-
ger will not give Mr.. Chamberlain 81
chance to send an ultimatum, but will
take advantage of the first suspicious
movement of the British troops on the
border to assume the offensive
The Morning Post has the following
from it's johannesburg correspondent,
who is now at Pietermaritzburg, capital
of Natal: 'I inspected the country

Newcastle is utterly unprotected. To
seize it would assure the Beers posses
sion of Laings Neck, and compel the
British to do twenty miles of fighting
over rough country, peculiarly suited
to Boer tactics before they could begin
the first real action. The War Office
wants waking un."
The Times, which comments edit
orally on the gravity of the situation
that necessitates a Cabinet council at
such an unusual period says: ut
would be objectionable folly to shut
our eyes to the suspicious dilatory
character of President Krugers diplo-
macy, and to the energy with which he
is simultaneously preparing for war. 1t
is Well known that General Sir Henry
Butler has been selected to command
the British forces, should war unfortu-
nately come, but it is the clear duty of
the Government to take other steps
besides the choice of a commander.

MIR. BRYAN's MoNoMETALIsM.
Economically 1t Is Dishonest as
Impossible-Politic 1t
Is Suicide

Mr.. Bryan is not 'bimetalist," as
he claims, but silver mono:netalist
In the platform whicn lie put forth
at Omaha as the expression Of his
views, Mr.. Bryan insists more strenu-
ously than ever upon what the Chicago
platform demanded: Free and un-
limited coinage at 16 To l, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation" And his platform de-
clares this to be 1.-The natural and acc
essary ratio
Why natural? 1t is not the com
mercial ratio" which Jefferson said
should always govern. 1t is a ratio
fixed by law when it represented sub
stantially the relative value of the two
money metals-a legal recognition of a
commercial fact.
Why necessary? This country has
had three ratios-15, 151b and 16.
Other countries have had different
ratios. Why is '16 to l. selected as pc
culiarly binding-as sacred as the di-
vine code, as Interchangeable as the laws
of the Medes and Persians?
The truth is, as we have said that in
taking this position Mr.. Bryan stamps
himself as a silver monometalist, and if
he were wholly honest he would admit
it. He has read history enough to
know that never-never!-NEV
this country or in any other, have gold
and silver circulated side by side-giv-
ing practical bimetalism-whe both
were coined freely and without limita-
tion at 16 to / or any other false ratio.
The cheaper money-the overvalue1
metal-everywhere and always drives
out Of circulation the dearer money
the undervalued metal.
This has been the result time and
again in our own country Sometimes
this law banishes gold, sometimes silver
but always the cheaper money stays,
the more valuable money goes.
In favoring the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at Is to /, when the
actual ratio is about 30 to 1, Mr. Bryan
would, therefore, instead of providing
more money which he says MAX IS
better times,'' cause the withdrawal
from circulation of $700,000,000 in sold
coin-more than one-third of our total
supply or money. This would be the
most tremendous and the most disas-
trous contraction of the currency
ever known in our history. 1t would
basis of 50-cent dollars, along with
Mexico, almost alone among the nations

litically it is suicide.-New York World
