FRIDAY. OCT. 6, 1899.
A BOLD STAND.

Influences for peace are still al
work in England and the Trans.
vaal, say yesterdays dispatches
However, the South African repub.
lie apparently believes that wal
with England is inevitable in any
event, and is already in perfect state
of preparation. Itrefuses to accept
the five year franchise, the quarter
representation for the Outlanders
in the Boer Parliament, or the en-
ployment of the English language
in that body. Moreover, it declines
to acknowledge British suzerainty
any longer. This is a bold stand
for the little republic to take. Il
indicates that it thinks England is
determined upon forcing war in any
case, and it prefers to have the war
come now rather than a few weeks,
months or years hence.
England could abate little of
her demands on the franchise, rep
resentation and language ques-
tions, but she cannot permit. the
repudiation of suzerainty. That is
a point on which her pride and
prestige will not permit her to yield.
The absolute and final acknowl-
edgement of the TransvaaPs inde-
pendence which this involves will
be opposed by even Morley, Har-
court and the rest of the liberals
and anti-war tories. No won-
der there is a scare on the Lon
don stock exchange. Even the
most optimistic are beginning to
lose hope that trouble can be avert
ed. Money is going up in the Lon
don market and stocks are going
down, and the other European
bourses, as well as the American
exchanges-the last named, how
ever, to smaller extent than the
rest-are likely to be affected for a
time.
But diplomacy has not yet had
its last word. England does not
want to precipitate matters. An
immediate attack by the greatest of
European powers on one of the
smallest of the worlds states would
have a semb.ance of indecency
which England may be relied on to
avoid. The queen is known to be
passionately opposed to England's
engaging in any war while she
lives. England has force of A. r
OG0 men in the field. The Beers
have as many and are well in
trenched, with points Of advantage
certified. President Kruger could
win a victory or two, but the repub- 6
les overthrow would be complete
and decisive.

Brantley Escaped.

Readers OF TIE COMMONWEALTH re.
member the famous Bonner trial at
Washington, n. c., in January, 1896
at which the Bell boys and Will Brant-
ley were convicted Of the murder OF
J. B. Bonner.
The following special fIom Weldon
to Sundays News and Observer, tells
o. Brantlay's escape from the Halifax
farm
ED Spivey, guard at the Halifax
State farm, was overpowered by a squad
Of conyicts he was working last Thurs
day, and five Of the penitentiary birds
escaped. Among the number was
Brantley, a white man, under a life SEN
tence for murder. Brantley was one eli
The Bonner murderers at Aurora some
years ago.
<Spivey was guarding a squad OF niue
convicts, eight ct the number being in
for life. Brantley asked Spiyey for a
chew Of tobacco. The guard threw the
tobacco to him, and instead Of picking
up the tobacco Brantley sprang upon
Spiyey, took his gun and escaped with
four others. One white convict, ice
Jordan, also under lie sentence, refused
to go, as did also three negroes. Blood
hounds were put upon the track, and
one OF the men was captured last even
ing. BrantIey was seen by one Of the
posse and shot at. One of the dogs
was shot and killed. Spiyey has been
suspended until an Investigation by the
prison authorities can be made"
