schIey Sees Mckinley.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley will succeed Rear Admiral Howison in command of the south Atlantic station. He has no pro test to make against the assignment which the navy department selected for him. As a sailor he will obey orders without a murmur. He called upon the president yesterday afternoon and told him that he had no complaint to make, that he would cheerfully assume the du- ties of any post selected by the authority which it had been his pride to serve for 43 years. Rear Admiral Schley was very reticent when he left the White House after his interview with the president and except to say that he always obeyed orders would make no statement as to the interview and offer no comment upon the assignment to the command of the south Atlantic station.

THE TRANSvAAE CRISIS.
Netherlands Government Working
 For . Pacific Solution.

For . Pacific Solution.
 London, Sept. 20.-The lull in the Transvaal crisis gives opportunity for the continuance of unofficial negotiations. The government of the Netherlands is ex- erting its influence in favor of pacific solution, and it is understood that Presi- dent Kruger, through Dr. Leyds, the plenipotentiary of the South African Re public to the European governments, has unofficialiy approached three powers, with view to their intervention.
 From Cape Town comes a report that the government of the colony contem- plates introducing a motion in the Cape house of assembly urging the Transvaal to accept the demands of Great Britain
 Summonses were issued late yesterday afternoon for a cabinet council, which, it is understood, will be held Friday. It is not by any means certain that the cab inet council will adopt extreme measures, in spite of the uncompromising nature of the Boer reply. This deliberation on the part of the government is interpreted not only in London but in other European capitals as desire on the part of Great Britain to gain time while the transports are hurrying to Cape Colony. Even ru- mors of a movement of the Boers across the Natal border apparently fail to ex- cite the military authorities here, who profess at least not to fear such a contin- gency for the present.

CANAAN CONN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER
FRENCH SUDAN MURDERS.
Report of VouIet's Killing of KIobh
 Officially Confirmed.


 Paris, Sept 20.-M. Decrais, the min ister for the colonies, has communicated to the cabinet council the report of Lieu tenant Cornu, the officer who met the survivors of Lieutenant Colonel Klobb's expedition to the French Sudan. The report confirms the published account of the assassination of Lieutenant Colonel Klobb and Lieutenant Meunier by troops under command of Captains Voulet and Chanoine, but says that the latter was not present when the troops fired on Klobb's expedition. The following is Captain Voulet's letter to Lieutenant Colonel Klobb:
 Before furnishing me even with copy of the powers in virtue of which you declare you assume command of the mission you send me two threatening notes couched in language which is most insulting. That is proof to me of the nor very generous sentiments you entertain toward me. You certainly are we'll aware of the infamous conduct of which you have been guilty in coming thus urged on by an unbridled ambition, to rob me of the fruit of my labors. No; vol have made a mistake ;n suEposing I should mildly accept such a downfall. Consequently have the honor 10 inform you, uIstt tudl sHdl Ectdlu cOulHhuu OA the mission; second, that have 600 rifles at my disposal third, that l shall treat you as an enemy if you continue to march toward me; fourth, that my men have all been consulted as to whether we should accept the position you offer us and that they are resolved to follow me on the path which have indicated above; fifth. that I am determined under any clrcum. stances to sacrifice my life rather than undergo the humiliation which you have orders to inffict on me.
 Moreover, prefer to risk everything for everything and especially do not choose to leave the place open for an in- triguer of your description by stupidly committing suicide. You will therefore act as you please after receiving this let. ter. If you advance one step you expose yourself to the eventualities above ind. cated"
