never did US any harm who struggled

Red Rags TO War Party.

London, Sept. 21.-The speech of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, the former
Liberal leader 10 his constituents at
New Tredegar last night and the mes
sage of the Cape Town Afrikander
members OF parliament to President
Kruger have proved red rags" TO the

Those who claim the situation has not
yet passed the rubicon OF pacific nego-
tlations see in President Kruger's an
swer to the Afiikanders a genuine de-
sire to avoid hostilities.
The report that he has personally pc.
tftioned Queen Victoria to avert hostil-
tiles certainly does not bear out the
alarmst reports of the English corre-
spondents in South Africa that Presi-
dent Kruger determined long since up
on war. Nevertheless. preparations for
that eventualfty continue energetical-
ly on both sides.
