Kruger.

London, Oct. 1.-THE stolidity, II
not the placidity of the English char.
acter. never was better shown than II
is in London to-day, when England Ia
face to face with war.
Although IL was only half-past five
o'clock yesterday when Mr.. Chamber.
lain's secretary handed TO represent
atiye of the press the first copy of the
Transvaal ultimatum, an hour later
every evening paper had the news.
There was not trace of the excite
ment attendant upon the announce
ment of the result on the night after
the first race for the Americas cup.
England Realises the situation.
But this must not be interpreted to
mean that England is not alive to the
realities of the situation. The audacs-
ty of the Transvaa's dispatch momen-
tarily stuns the public, and II was only
when under the glare OF the music
hall lights, and listening TO the stir
ring bars of the national nthem and
other patriotic airs that the effect OF
the momentary rebuff was lost in dem
onstrations that shook the rafters
Officers and Men Enthusiastic.

known as the Rag" has not for many
day seen such gathering of cam
paigners as was there last night.
Nor was the slowly aroused enthusi-
ism confined to the officers. At Well
ngton barracks, where a battalion of
srenadiers, which forms a portion of
the First army corps,h had just returned
from 16 months service on the rock of
Gibraltar. the enthusiasm knew no
pounds. Seldom does Tommy Atkins
permit himself the luxury of enthusi-
ism. but the regiment had had long
spell of dreary garrison duty, and
tailed the call to active service with
schoolboy delight.
II VIII Not be a Picnic.
Underneath all, however, officers,
subalterns and civilians recognized the
TACT that the Transvaal campaign will
not be a picnic, and the sober renliiy
,f this gives a sterner note TO London
life than anything that has occurred
