A similar demonstration took place
at Fenchurch street station. The win
dows of5.tha neighborhood We're crowd
ed. with sightseerers, who showered
miniature union jacks and squares Of
| bunting bearing portraits of the queen
upon the passing troops.
When the station was reached an in
cident occurred, typical of the readi-
ness of&the colonists to fight. discount
| Hampden, former governor and COM
mander-in- chief of New South Wales,
| was present. A sergeant major stepped
| forward and drew Lord Hampden's at
| tention to the fact that he was wear
| ing the same sword used by his lord
ship when the latter belonged to the
New South Wales lancer. Lord Hamp-
den was about to examine the weapon,
when the sergeant major cautioned
him, saying:
THAT sword has been sharpened and
is ready for active service"
| The reports from all the military CEN
tiers show that the mobilization orders
are received with the greatest enthusi-
asm, now that President Kruger has
crossed the rubicon, and taken the ir-
revocable step of issuing an ultimatum.
The wonder is why, if President Kru
ger is resolved upon fighting, he has
waited so long. The explanation seems
to be that his hand has been forced
by the fact that the Beers have got out
of control, or that if he awaited the ar
rival Of the British army corps the
chances of military success for him
would be of the slimest possible charac-
ter.
The expiration of the time limit of
the uItimatum tomorrow evening does
not leave Great Britain much time to
strengthen the present military posi-
ton, although there are still few
troops at Durham, Natal, available for
dispatch to the front, but the governor
win doubtless now adopt the sugges-
ton to form the refugees from the
Rand into volunteer regiments, thus
while relieving their needs, utilizing
their services.
Nothing was received this morning
from the scene of action except that
the Beers have constructed forts COM
manding Laing's Neck, and that guns
have been mounted on Mount Pogwane
and Mount Prospect.

long and bitterly fought legislative battle
was the struggle between the clothing
and hat dealers. which occurred before

anti-department store bill then pending. 4"
remarked ex-senator Moses Solomon of
Chicago at the Planters yesterday. Dur

Senator SolOmons name has been init
mately connected with this kind of legis-
lation. Two years ago the bill Of which
he was the champion failed of passage
because, he says, of an ainsignifcant
amendment introduced by a baker who
happened to be member of the legisla-
ture, providing that bread should not be
sold in grocery stores without special
license. This amendment necessitated a
conference between the two houses and
gave the opponents Of the bill another
opportunity, which they utilized to defeat
the measure. At the same session" con-
tinued Senator Solomon. after the classi-
fcation Of all the different kinds of store;
had been finished. a dispute arose between
several prominent hat men of Chicago
and several clothing men of the same
city over which should be entitled 10 sell
canes and umbrellas without u special
license. Each claimed that these articles
belonged 10 his line of trade and not to
his competitor in the clothing or hat line

SNAKE POISON.
# Taken In Time No Snake Bite
Should Be Fatal.

Should Be Fatal.
Despite the great interest of snake
bites and their antidotes, there is but
little known Of the chemistry of the
poison of any snake, save that Of the
cobra: the secretion of which is PROB
sbly the most deadly animal substance
known. In India il has been estimated
that it killed as many as 10000 persons
yearly Happily it does not thrive IN
his country bur we have many pois-
onous snakes of our own that we
would rather not meet on line sum-

TIE poison of the rattlesnake, which
IS supposed To be like 10 that of the
viper. is supposed to be deadly TO both
animal and vegetable life. Alcohol is

Guilty is, and may ice one reason why

In reality the rattleSnake does not bite,
but throws its fangs forward with
great force, and bitches them, as hooks,
into the victim. The poison, of which

closely resembles clear honey, is then
driven into the wound with the rapidly
of lightning Unless the fangs are erect
for battle they lie concealed in the up
per part OF the mouth, something like
the blades Of a penknife that are smut
in their case.
Adders, copperlleads. milk snakes
and many others are well known in this
country as being poisonous. The victim
of a bite from one Of these snakes feels
ST arst a burning pain on the spot that
is bitten. Gradually it becomes intensi-
ned. A nunbness of the limbs follows,
which causes the sufferer TO act as
though he were intoxicated; often stag
gering and falling. Finally the lower
Jaw drops and a frothy saliva runs
fron the mouth. the breathing becomes
slower, and usually ceases altogether
nlbout an hour after the bite. There is
little sign Of external injury, but under
the skin it appears like a large purple
wound.
Antivenene. which is the name Pro-
fessor Frazer of England has given to
his new antidote, has been found to
have certain definite but limited pow
ers against snake bites. 1t consists OF
the blood serum of immunized animals,
and is in the form of a dry powder. 1t
IS introduced into the body by artificial
means. The use of ii has been most
successful, even in cases where ii was
not injected until thirty minutes after
the poison. This, however, is not often.
Also an unusual quantity of venom
from a large and angry snake would
demand so large a dose of the antiYe-
meme as to be in itself quite fatal.

BURGHERs ARE IMPATIENT.
Say It Is Suicidal to Await Arrival of
Overwhelming Forces.


London, Oct 1O.-A dispatch from
Pretoria, dated Monday evening, says:
Owing to the state of the. country
generally and the sad circumstances
which prevail, it has been officially an
nounced that there will be no birthday
reception at the presidency. Matters
are becoming critical and many of the
burghers in the three main commands
are impatient and feel that it is sui
cldal to await the arrival of over
whelming reinforcements from Eng
land. The president has done his ut
most TO stem this feeling, in the hope
that diplomacy might still settle mat
tiers. s.
During the past few days Geographic
conferences have been held with Presi-
dent Steyn, and whatever course shall
be taken by the Transvaal will receive
the commendation and support of the
Free State.
1t is freely rumored in the town, and
is believed to be correct, that the gov
eminent assumed its firm position be-
cause Great Britain's new proposals
have not arrived, though Mr.. Conyng-
ham Greene, British diplomatic agent
at Pretoria. Informed State Secretary
Reitz nine days ago that they would
be formulated in a few days time. Con-
sequently the burghers are alarmed at
the continued despatch of troops from
England and India.
"A telegram received here outlines
the ultimatum in terms already cabled,
which, the correspondent gathers, has
just been despatched"
The correspondent adds: Martial
law may be proclaimed on Wednesday,
but all depends upon Great Britain's
reply The Transvaal forces are be-
ing augmented by volunteers of all ma
tionalities. The war office is very busy.
Ambulance parties are starting, for the,
front. There is still the faintest hope
that war may be averted.''
