Many ship owners have called at the
Offices OF the Admiralty and offered their
vessels as transports. They were told. how
ever, that nothing would be done In this d.
rection at present.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: 1T was the Trans

question that caused the Afrikander lead

State to cool off promptly. The Transvaal
has now resumed a practical tone and the
Afrikanders are exerting a supreme effort
TO expedite a settlement"
The Daily Chronicle AYERS that Lord SAL
isbury's moderating influence was felt
throughout the council. This is exceedingly
probable. but, IN any case, the Cabinet was
unanimous in favor OF Mr.. Chamberlain
sending strong dispatch demanding a
categorical answer TO the proposals Sir AL

conference.

this might have been demanded" but the
Cabinets decision meets with universal ap-

further will be done.

CLOSING FEATURE OF THE GRAND
ARMY REUNION FESTIVITIES.
Admiral SIMPSONS Squadron and
Nearly 100 Other Vessels in Line
Sons of Veterans Encampment.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. s. - The thirty
third encampment of the Grand Army or
the Republic, which began here last Mon
day, came TO an end this afternoon. when
a naval review was held on the Delaware
river. The ships reviewed were those of the
North Atlantic squadron, composed OF the
flagship New York. cruiser Brooklyn and
battleships Indiana. Massachusetts, and
Texas. 1t was the greatest of the three
naval reviews that have been held on the
Delaware within year. The weather was
perfect, the number of boats in line was
very large and the crowds that lined both
the Pennsylvania and New Jersey shores
on the river far outnumbered those that
have witnessed the previous reviews. The
official reviewing party was composed or
Governor Stone and staff Of Pennsylvania;
Mayor Ashbridge. of this city; Capt. James
II. Sands, of the United States navy; Sen
ator Penrose, Gen. James Latta and Maj.
Richard Collum. of the G.. A. r.
Promptly at o'clock the flagship Nc
Cauley, with Commodore Josiah r. Adams,
gave the signal for the start, and the YES
sells got into line. Following the flagship
came the revenue cutter, with the review
ing party aboard. Then came the revenue
cutters Gresham. Algonquin, Manning and
Onondaga. These were followed by light
house tenders, private yachts, steamboats,
with G. A. r. delegates aboard and great
line of excursion boats, in all over 100 yes
sells. The journey of the vessels up the
river to the squadron. distance Of seven
miles, was a continuous ovation. When
the head of the parade came abreast of the
New York the latter fired the Governors
salute and the Window returned the salute
of the admiral. The other warships also
saluted the Governor.
In the vicinity of the squadron the
wharves and buildings were crowded with
people. and when the parade was passing
the fighting ships a deafening noise was
made. Every steam vessel on the river let
loose its whistle, as did also all the fac
tories along the shores. After the review
was over Governor Stone and his staff
were taken on board the New York, where
Admiral Sampson rendered them an in
formal reception.
Camp James A. Sexton, in Paramount
Park in which 10000 veterans had been
sheltered during the encampment, came to
an end at o. clock this afternoon.

NJ Demange said he was surprised at the

LONDON, Sept. S-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: There
is no doubt that Mr.. Schreiner, the Cape
premier. and the Afrikander leaders, have
thrown in their lot with Sir Alfred Miner,
and this fact explains the irritation dis
played in the volksraad in the debate on
the interpretations. 1t is reported from
Bloemfontein that ballot will be taken

whether the government shall remain neu-

SAVAGE PRIZE FIGHT
CHARLEY BURNS DEFEATED BY
ZEIGLER, HIS OLD-TiME OPPONENT.
Bout stopped I'm the Twelfth Round,
When Cincinnatian Was Almost
Knocked Out.

NEW YORK, Sept. s-Owen zegler, for
merly of Philadelphia. but now of Bath
Beach, N Y, turned what seemed to be an
inevitable defeat into victory tonight be-
fore the Broadway Athletic Club. where he
met and whipped his old-time opponent.
Charley Burns, of Cincinnati. The men had
previously fought twenty rounds to a draw.
They met tonight at catch weights. Burns
had at least ten pounds advantage in weight
and was very strong and aggressive. In the
opening rounds Burns was the aggressor and
in the fourth round Zeigler went down
twice. In the following round Zeigler looked
worried and both men seemed tired. Science
was cast to the winds completely and they
simply slugged each other. In the seventh
both fell in a clinch. Burns, after hitting
Zeigler rather low on the body, extended his
right hand 20 if to apologize, but Zeigler
merely hit Ii, opponent on the jaw. This
enraged Burns and In wild rush he threw
Zeigler, heavily on the ropes. Burns then
sent his left to the jaw and Zeigler fell
through the ropes into the arms OF seconds,
who showed him back into the ring at the
clang of the bell.
In the eighth Zeigler received lot Of
punishment in the face Burns forcing him
all over the ring. Burns kept forcing in the
tenth and had Zeigler on the ropes towards
the end of the round in a very weak Gondi-
ton. TO the surprise OF everybody, Burns
particularly, Zelgler in the next round sent
in succession of right smashes to the
Western mans head and face. Burns
showed signs Of WEAKNESS and became de-
cidedly groggy. A swing from Zeigler put
Burns down on his back and he remained
there for nine seconds and the bell saved
him from knockout Coming up for the
twelfth, Burns almost good as
whipped and Zeigler rushed at him, shooting
rights and lefts, forcing terrific pace. A
left to the chin from Zeigler was followed
by right under the heart and Burns tum-
bled to the floor. He was so nearly knocked
out that the bout was stopped and Zeigler
got the decision.

campment of the organization to-day.
made an important recommendation about
the societys badges and decorations. Maj.
y. B. Davis, of Pittsburg. up to his death

regalia to the society. Commander Shepard
recommends that the order now manufac-
ture it's own badges and sell them at profit
for it's own benefit.
Quartermaster General Bottoms report
showed the order in good condition imam
cially with 1900 in the treasury. The men,
bership had fallen off about LOCO In the past
year, according to Adjutant General Alb
bolts report, and he ascribes this to the fact
that SO many of the young men, from whom
the orders membership would come,
have enlisted in the army. The report shows
total membership of $4,000, scattered
among 100 branches. The order has de-
cided to present to each of its members who
served in either the Spanish or Philippine
war a badge of honor, manufactured from
a Spanish cannon, which has been promised
for that purpose by Secretary of War Root

Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska, who is
member of the order. occupied almost the
entire afternoon session with an address TO
the delegates, in the course of which he
touched on the war in the Philippines. he
said that while he was not an expansionist
he considered that the administration was
taking the proper course in pushing the war
against the insurgents, whom he classed as
mere guerillas. He said that for Admiral
Dewey to have sailed away from Manila
after his victory would have been impos-
sible. In conclusion he said he desired to
place himself on record as saying that he
considered ex-Secretary Of War Alger to
have done everything that it was possible
for any man to have done under existing
conditions for the good Of the troops and
the conduct of the Spanish war during his
administration of the War Department.

Mr.. Bosnian. THE Afrikander people will

Every man Is certain England means moth

She has had that intention ever since 1878.
Afrikanders realize that the crisis has ar
rived. With their liberty at stake they pro-
pose to fight out the whole question and
forever settle the question of who Is to be
master of South Africa. The question of
franchises is only reason for the
strained relations. The real cause lies in
England's realization that If she does not

The habit of going about without a hat
has been making inroads on the rising
generation of both sexes Beginning
with college oarsmen, it has extended to
those who inhabit canoes and yachts;
now 1T is taken up by cyclists, and in
all the minor summer resorts young wom-
err may be seen riding and driving and
playing golf I'm their own hair" as our
ancestors used to say in the days of wigs
It is only where the summer resort has
degenerated into a place which suffers
from the oppressive laws of cities that the
hat still keeps undisputed control of the
heads of lads and lassies from ten to twen-
ty years Of age.
Does this mean that the twentieth GEN.
fury will be the hatleSS age? There can
be little doubt that the habit of hatlessness
in temperate climates acts as an antidote
to badness. Hair is protection to the
cranium; If 1T ceases to be of use to the
organism it tends gradually TO thinness and
finally disappears, aided, apparently. by the
construction of the surface veins under the
pressure of the hat band or hat lining.
When allowed TO perform its function of
shielding the head and neck from the sun
and rain and snow 1t keeps in good con-
dition unless affected by some special dis
ease Outdoor life aids in this strengthen
ing of the hair by helping the general we'll
being of the body, which reacts beneficially
on the natural clothing of the head.
