The repairs to the Chicago win re-

NO WAR PROBABLE
Not Believed In New York That
Kruger Will Press England
Too Far.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a dispatch
to the Tribune from London says.
Prominent men connected with the
military and other services now de-
clare that there win be no hostillies
with the Transvaal, but that matters
viii be adjusted at the last moment.
The reasons for their confidence in the
maintenance OF peace are not apparent
TO outsiders, who cannot understand
how an outbreak of war can be pre-
vented. Public opinion also reflects
this optimistic view, although no In
telligible reason can be given for the
reaction against the war feeling which
has prevailed for the last three weeks.
Iiruger's delay in striking the British
garrison when 1t was weakest has tend
ed TO convince some journalists that he
will not open hostilitles and that he
may consent to a conference IL he is
assured that England's fresh demands
when presented, are a complete list OF
grievances, and that no new issue will
be reached.
The satisfactory issue Of the Vene-
zuela arbitration is also a timely object
lesson which influences public judg'
ment. While the reaction against mill
