Replying on the same date, Sir Alfred
Miner expresses regret at the calling
out Of the burghers, and refers to the
mobilization of the Transvaal forces on
the Natal border as indicating the in
tention to Immediately invade the queens
domain.
President Steyn, on the same day, ex-
presses his conviction that the action of
the TIansvaal is only the natural result
of the continued increase of the British
forces and their movement in the direc-
ton of the TransVaal border
Sir Alfred Miner replied on Oct. that
all the movements of the troops were
pecessitated by the natural alarm felt
by the inhabitants of the exposed dis
trict, and declared that these movements
were not compatible IN magnitude with
the recent massing of the Transvaal
forces on the borders of Natal.
President Steyn, replying on Oct. 8,
says he does not consider that there are
even fair grounds for the movement of
the British troops, and he believes that
the increasing military preparations re-
tarded the efforts of himself and all
those who were sincerely working to
maintain peace and effect a fair settle
ment He wished to place on record
had introduced the military element and
who had since continued a policy of in
limitation and menacing will rest the
esp1nsibility of results should all efforts
fail 60 secure a peaceful and honorable
settlement He also says that he can
not but recognize the fact that, in the
opinion of the Free Safe authorities, the
Transvaal government cannot be blamed
for acting as 1t has done, and he is the
more confirmed in this view from the
fact that, while he is without a reply
to his communication of Sept 26 and the
reasonable request therein, the remov-
al of troops from the borders of the re-
publcs has has not only been not COM
piled with, but the activity in massing
troops has been more persistent than
ever. He concludes thus:
Il feel deeply impressed with the dan
ger of delay and urge the need of imme-
diate action, if further attempts are TO be
made to secure a peaceful solution. Cnce
again l tender my best service towards
the attainment of that object, but I fear
these will probably be useless, if they
are not accompanied with or preceded by
the assurance requested in mine of Sept
26''

RIOTERS IN COURT.
Men Alleged to, Have Been ImpIicat-

ed in the Geareeanna Affair.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.--The thirteen men
alleged to have been Darticipators in the
riot which occurred Saturday on board
the Philadelphia steamboat Georgeanna
in the waters of New York harbor were
arraigned today before city magis-
trate.
Capt. C. A. Norton, of Hartford: Conn,
who organized the committee of passen-
gers which took possession Of the steam
boat and held the gang Of gamAers and
blacklegs at bay until the boat reached
her pier, was present to prosecute the
men who had stabbed at him and threat
ened to throw him overheard. With him
were several other passengers.
The testimony satisfied the magistrate
that the commander of the Georgeanna
was aware that the, boat mad been char
tered by gamblers, and that he was un-
der their orders. Norton testified that
the captain told him he could crly go
where the men running the wheels of
fortune, faro, roulette and dice games
wanted him to. He further said that he
was willing to go to the yacht race if
the gamblers would let him. The cap
tain, however. when questioned, denied
any knowledge OF the gambling, and said
that he had returned to port because the
steampipes were leaking. and the boat
had become unsafe ir the rough sea out
side Sandy Hook He was fined $10 and
as the witnesses all said that the pilots
had behaved themselves during the whole
OF the excitement they We're DISCHARGED.
it was then stated by Thomas F. Turn
er, civil and mechanical engineer, that
he had complained to the United States
authorities against Capt. Sterck and
Pilots Brown and Post for taking him out
to sea without license and that they
would be arrested During the examina
ton it was testified that the gamblers
forclbly robbed passengers Of their
watches, JeWelry and pocketbooks be-
fore the police boat came alongside.

handling. The feeling of the American
yachtsmen that the challenger was enter
ing the races unprepared and untried has
disappeared. They have seen her fit for
the struggle, and they know that she is
ready to do her best when the boats
meet again on Tuesday.
In response to an inquiry made this att
ernoon, as to what was being done by
way of preparation, her managers said:
Nothing. There she Is, ready for the
gun
Each side is still confident, but it must
be admitted that the hackers of the
green boat are showing the most hope.
They say they know what she can d } in
heavy weather. 1t only required three
days of drifting to convince them that
she was just as soodsin light airs. The
whole Shamrock contingent is happy
one, and there is no one to begrudge
them their pleasant moments.
SEVERE SHOCK.
The Columbia people are not unhappy
by any means On the contrary they
still confidently assert that, of course,
the cup stays. But they have been
shocked and they have been shocked In
most decisive manner. They know
there will be no wall6over They know
more than this, but they are not telling
what 1t Is.
Leaving entirely out of the question
American pride in the American boat,
all true sportsmen are rejoicing. Here
is a contest worth having. Here is a
yacht race that Is worth al the money
that has been spent, all the time and
care that have been given. 1t is great
struggle, and no man can name the win
ner. This is the feeling in New York
today, and this is gain for the Sham
rock side, for did she not start the week
a bad second?
The betting is still slightly in Column
bias favor, but this is not based on the
Judgment of yachting experts. Thre Is
more Columbia money to be had because
of local pride, and this is the influencing
factor in the matter of odds.
DAY OF REST.
Both yachts are still at the Hook today.
1t was day of rest on the yachts Mr.
Iselin and his friends came to town. leav-
ing Capt. Charlie Barr on guard Sir
Thomas Upton and his friends are near
their boat on the Erin, and there they
will remain until the last race Is over
Sir Thomas said today that under no
conditions would he leave the horseshoe
until the contests were over He seemed
very much worried about the illness of
Mr.. Fife, and he insists that the Sham
rock is under great disadvantage in not
having him on board.
The opinion was quite general today

Yacht club. At the conclusion Of the
meeting the Following agreement was
drawn up and given out for publication:
1.-THE foregoing agreement dhe original
engagement is further modified by mu-
tual consent as follows:
Strike out the clause beginning the
first race shall be sailed on Tuesday,
Oct. 8, 1884, and substitute the following :
The races shall be sailed on the follow
ing dates until the series be completed,
viz: Oct 10, 1882 Oct. IL, and on each
following day except Sunday, provided
however, that Immediately on the con-
clusion of the race of Oct. II, and OF each
subsequent race, the regatta committee
shall inquire of eacn contestant whether
he is willing to sail the next day, and
should either contestant answer in the
negative one day shall intervene before
starting the next race Sunday shalf net
count as such intervening day
The agreement was signed by the mem
bers of the committees representing both
yacht clubs interested.
At the conclusion OF the meeting Sec
retary Oddie said: There was no fric-
ton In reaching the agreement as to
the change Of dates Sir Thomas Upton
at first asked that the races be started
daily after Tuesday. The club decided
that this would hardly be prudent. In
the first place it would be entirely un-
fair to the public. Thousands of per-
sons have made arrangements to attend
the races On certain day. Hundreds
OF excursions have been arranged for
and to make a change in the racing dates
on so short a notice would not be right
to the public.
1.-The club Is deeply grateful for the
manner in which the public has behaved
at the races. There is no interference
with the boats whatever. The club Is
grateful to the public for this, and it
would not be right to make such a sud-
den change in racing dates. We are en-
deavoring to please the public as we'll as

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Bo- ton Hall to-
day gave out a statement concerning the
formation of a new organization of
which he is temporary secretary, which
is to be known as the American league.
The purpose of the American league Is
to oppose the growing warlike spirit in
the United States. A meeting has al

which, first of all, reaffirms the doc
trines of the declaration of independ-
ence, and says that others, as we'll as
the people of the United States should
come under its beneficence. 1 S third and
last clause says:
I'VE adhere to the American idea that
government derives It's just pow RS from
the consent of the governed and the
conclusion is I'VE are therefore opposed
to forced extension of American institu-

Former Postmaster General Report

ed in II Dangerous Condition.
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, Oc' 8.-Par-
eraI William L. Wilson have received ad-
vices that the distinguished free trader
is in failing health, and that his recovery
Is doubtful.
1t is asserted that one Of his lungs Is
entirely gone, that the other is seriously
diseased and that he is almost totally
blind. For months, the report says, Mr..
Wilson has been unable to read, and he
can write but little. His mind, however,
remains perfectly clear, and he gets
through his work with the aid of a secre-
tary.
Mr.. Wilson, who was formerly presi-
dent of the West Virginia university, at
Morgantown, is now the head Of the Uni
versity of Virginia at Lexington, a po-
sition he accepted Immediately after his
retirement from President Cleveland's
cabinet. He has never been of robust
health, and during the preparation Of
the tariff bill bearing his name he was
Obliged to make trip to Europe to gain
strength for the bitter fight which he
knew was before him.
A hot political campaign for another
term in congress followed this trip and
his friends now believe that it was at this
time the seeds of the disease which now
affiict him were sown. 1t seems to be
generally understood that he will soon
be obliged to retire from active work.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-By a mutual
agreement between the representatives
Of the New York Yacht club and the
Royal Ulster Yacht club, the Corumbia
ana Shamrock will sail every DAY after
next Thursday until the question of in
ternational yachting supremacy is decld-
ed. The request for such an arrange
ment came from Sir Thomas Upton,
owner of the challenger. Sir Thomas
wanted the races to be sailed daily after
next Tuesday, but the members of the
New York Yacht club refused to consent
to such an arrangement.
The meeting at which the arrangement
for change in dates was reached was
held at the New York Yacht club today.
There were present r. G. Sharman Craw-
ford and H. M. McGill DowneY, repre-
senting the Royal Ulster Yacht club, and
