DANGEROUS DELAY.
Much Complaint of EngIand's DiIatory
Movements.

London, Oct. 5.-Intelligence from
Cape Town includes an official
denial of the rumor that the
British have crossed the Trans
vaal frontier near Kimberly.
TransvaaI frontier near Kimberly.
There is a very definite feeling through
out the Cape that the British delay in
forwarding achievements is very dan
gerous. The utmost enthusiasm pre-
walls and many are anxious to place
their services at the disposal of the
government
Some of the refugees from Johannes
burg now lin Cape Town are resOrting
to acts of violence, smashing windows
and thieying.
1t is expected that although the
Dutch in Cape Colony are likely to re-
main quiet in ordinary circumstances
they viii Join their brethren of the
Orange Free State in case the BasutOs
commence hostilities.
1t is reported that another Rand ship
ment of bullion to the value of 100000
pounds is in danger of conhscation by
the Transvaal authorities.
A petition to Queen Victoria, signed
by fifty-eight members of the Cape
house OF assembly has been forwarded
through the British high commissioner
Sir Alfred Miner, pointing out that the
petitioners who are related by blood
and through marriage to residents of
the Transvaal, are materially interested
in the maintenance of peace, urging the
abandonment of warlike measures, as
the Transvaal is now fully awakened to
the wisdom of liberal CONCESSIONS and
praying her majesty to appoint a COM
mission forthwith to confer with the
Beers, as the petitioners are convinced
that if the present franchise act is in
adequate the Transvaal government is
prepared to make further concessions to
the outlanders. The petitioners in clos
ing declare their loyal devotion to the
throne and person of the queen.
Today the secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, sent the fol-
lowing reply:
THE Imperial government is not I'M
mindful of the sympathies and inter-
est of British subjects Of Dutch descent
in South Africa One of the main OBJ
jects of the Imperial policy is to secure
for the nOn-Dutch inhabitants of the
Transvaal rights and privileges similar
to those enjoyed by the Dutch in Cape
Colony. The imperial government has
shown the TranSvaal every cOnsidera-
tion consistent with this object and
deeply regret that their efforts for a
peaceful settlement have hitherto been
unsuccessful.
The imperial authorities are unable
to adopt the suggestion of the petit
TONERS for the reasons stated in the
note to the Transvaal of Sept. Il. In
view of the refusal of the Transvaal to
tory offer, the Imperial authorities
have been compelled to formulate their
own proposals regarding a final settle

AT LAST MINUTE.
Some Believe TransvaaI Trouble Will
End Peacebly.

New York, Oct. 5.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Prominent men connected with the
military and other services now de-
clare that there viii be no hOStilities
with the Transvaal, but that matters
will be adjusted at the last moment.
The reasons for their confidence in the
maintenance of peace are not apparent
to outsiders, who can not understand
how an outbreak of war can be pre-
vented; but it is true that the situation
is not regarded by some members of the
ministry as entirely hopeless. Public
opinion also reflects this optimistic
view although no ineligible reason can
be given for the reaction against the
war feeling which has prevailed for
the last three weeks. Kruger'S delay
in striking the British garrison when it
was weak has FASTENED to convince
some journals that he will not open
a conference, if he is assured that Eng
lands fresh demands, when presented,
are a complete list of grievances and
that no new issue will be raised.
The satisfactory issue of the Vene-
zuela arbitration is also a timely OBJ
ject lesson which influences public
judgment. While the reaction against
militarism may be only temporary, it
encourages the members of the peace
party to renew their efforts, and make
much of Sir William Harcourt's con-
version to their views. The report of
q Liberal conference at Sir Henry
mpbell-Hannerman' s house is an ex-
aggeration; it was a small meeting Of
a few friends. While no formal decision
has been reached respecting the Liberal
policy during the special session it is
not probable that the party can be
united in any unpatriOtic measures of
resistance to the government if war be
declared "

AT THE FLAMBEAU CLUB
Major 7. j. Anderson Replies to Some
Alleged Charges

Major T. J. Anderson was called on
for a speech at the meeting OF the he
publican f1ambeau club last evening
and he took occasion to reply TO the
charge made against him by Kansas
City paper that he was responsible for
the defeat of the bill in the senate last
winter to give IS a month to each OF the
Kansas soldiers in the late war
In connection with the charge, an al
legged interview with a returned Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteer was published
in which the soldier was made to say
that the Twentieth Kansas boys dld not
want to be received by Major Ander-
son as the head of the reception COM
mittee, and that if he tried to speak OF
sing to them he would be missed down;
1.-The cOpperhead Kansas City Times,
said Major Anderson last night, has
carried out it's threat to get even with
me for puncturing the scheme OF Its
correspondent in Topeka to make mon
ey out of a patriotic occasion by get
ting out an advertising souvenir OF the
Twentieth Kansas reception.
Il voted against the bill introduced
by Senator Householder during the last
days of the legislature to appropriate 30
per month for the soldiers OF the Kan
sas regiments, and those furnished by
Kansas to the regular army and TO
Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the
late war. 1 was not voting appropr1a-
lions to boom Brother Householder for
the Populist nomination for governor
1t voting against it I was in very good
In voting against it was in very COCA
members voted with me. 1 would vote
against it again under similar circum-
stances.
They charge that was responsible
for its defeat, when it passed the SEN
ate by a. vote of % to IA, but it was
never even heard of in the house. They
object to my being at the head of the
reception committee, when as matter
of fact have little to do with it, being
only assigned as a member of a sub
committee.
1.-THE matter of kissing was probably
suggested by the correspondent, as that
is their manner of putting down the re-
beIlion in the Philippines. I was re-
sponsible to my constituents for my
vote will celebate the return of the
Twentieth Kansas in my own way, and
if there is anyone who doesn't like it,
he knows where to find me- Major
Anderson's speech was received with
great applause.

THE WATER WORKS CASE.
Attorney Bird Says He Wants It Tried
Promptly

City Attorney Bird thinks a wrong
construction was put on his attitude in
connection with the delay in the water
works case, as reported in Tuesdays
State Journal. wherein it was stated
that the continuance was with Mr..
Birds consent.
Mr.. Bird is quoted as saying to the
court: THE city is ready for trial and
we are very anxious to proceed with
the case, as it is of great Importance
to the city of Topeka. However, If the
water company will consent that the
case be set down for hearing at the
November term, I Will agree to the
continuance"
Mr.. Bird says he used this language:
THE city is ready for trial and we are
anxious to proceed with the case as it
is of great Importance to the city of
Topeka If for any reason the court
should pass this case at this time, I
hope under no circumstances will it be
passed later than the November ses7

WANT TO COME.
National Guard Anxious to Partici-
pate in Soldiers Reception.

pate in Soldiers Reception.
Major Anderson, secretary of the
Commercial club, received a letter this
morning which shows the sentiment of
the Kansas National Guard on the
question of coming to Topeka for the
reception to the Twentieth Kansas reg
iment. It is from Charles F. Hilton,
captain of the Salina company, and he
intimates that the men will be willing
to participate in the reception, if sup
piled with quarters only. In the letter
he says:
My company and myself are very
DESTROYS of going to Topeka, taking
part in the reception to the Twentieth
Kansas and conducting company NJ
home. OF course we have to LAY our
own transportation, but what will To-
peka do? VIII she take care of US while
we are there? If she will not feed, will
she furnish quarters? Please ascertain
and let me know
It is altogether likely that arrange
ments will be made by which members
of the guard will be furnished both
quarters and rations, and if a general
one cent a mile rate is not made by the
railroads, it will probably be allowed
the militia.

EASTMAN LANDS.
Gets an Oklahoma appointment From
the Government

Washington, Oct. Sd. w. Eastman
of Emporia has been appointed register
of the United States land Office at
Enid, Oklahoma
This appointment comes as a surprise
to the politicians because none of them
knew that Mr.. Eastman was an appli-
cant for this position. The fake report
that he wanted to be receiver of the
Atchison bank and was to be appointed
is again refuted.
Mr.. Eastman is not in Topeka today
and the politicians do not know much
about it. Senator Baker who is here
said he understood that Mr.. Eastman
had been given the place at Enid. For
the rest the announcement is a surprise,
yet the Republicans are pleased to
know that Eastman has been recog-
nized.

Bowman.
A defective f1ue set fire to the roof.
Before the department arrived two
