fortunately, her health has been so much better
than was expected that she assumes an active
par, in all the festivities. and has been able 10
accept the invitations which have been rendered

President Mckinley has so far observed the
unwritten law that the President shall not ac-
cept the hospitality Of any foreign Ambassador
or Minister law that has been generally OBJ
served by the different Presidents. But with
his characteristic democratic spirit president
Arthur paid no attention to this rule, and used
frequently to walk over from the White House

Filipino. VIII Have to Fight.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-A special from Wash
ington says:
The cabinet meeting decided to suspend
negotiations with the insurgents through
the Philippine commission and the com
mission will be quickly dissolved.
The president and his cabinet advisers
have reached the conclusion that it Is un-
wise to maintain the commission and at
tempt to negotiate with the insurgents for
surrender. An aggressive campaign has
been ordered. The military men OF the
service vii; be given full sway.
Colonel DENLY and Prof Worcester, the
two civilian members of the commission
now in the Philippines, will be ordered
home and the insurgents notified that any
communications they may have to make
in the direction of surrender must be ad-
dressed to General Otis.

Cautain Henry Wa. killed.

Port Townsend, WASH, Sept. 6.-The
fate of Captain Henry, OF the American
ship Cyrus Wakefield, while rounding Cape
Horn seems to be shrouded in mystery,
according to mail advices just received
here from Port Stanley, Falkland islands.
On August IA reports reached this city
to the effect that Captain Henry while
rounding Cape Horn was killed by being
dashed against the cabin of his vessel by
an immense sea.
According to letters received here from
Port Stanley it appears that Captain
Henry met death at the hands of his mate,
who hit the captain on the head with a
hammer. After the deed was committed
he looted the cabin of all valuables.

Blocmfontein, Orange Free State, Sept.
Sit is understood that all Transvaal

The latest reply Of the Transvaal to
Great Britain is regarded as marking the
disappearance Of the last hope Of peace.

Great Britain's diplomatic agent here, TO
Sir Alfred Miner, British high commits
sioner of South Africa, an inquiry as to
whether an explanation would be given in
regard to the mobilization of British
troops on the Transvaal frontier.
LONDON, Sept S.-lf the Transvaal
situation is changed at all since yesterday.
il is for worse. The Boer request for an
explanation as to the massing OF British
troops on the frontier has an ominous
note of irritation and impatience, which
at such critical stage can scarcely be in
tcrpreted as anything but defiance.
Both here and in Cape Colony the ten
sion and anming continues. Whether to-
morrow's cabinet council will afford inl-
mediate relief is a question OF great doubt.
Capetown advices say the Afrikanders
regard the latest Boer reply as evasive.
The average opinion Of the British press
is inclined to regard it as a straw which
would break the back of the most long
suffering diplomatic camel.
Johannesburg, Sept. Sat meeting

introduced himself to Nick Raffaelovich

years since Nick had last seen his

him and didn't know him when he saw
him, he at first thought the man was
trying to josh him. and when he per-
sisted in claiming the relationship, Nick
told him to be off or he'd call a police
man. 1t took considera BILE talk from tine
new arrival from Austria to get Nick
to take any stock in him at all. but

be what he claimed, so he put him
through a course of severe cross-exam-
nation, after which he Rugged the
