In the presence of immediate danger

being misunderstood. is of minor inn
portance. We beg your honor TO lay
these words, only dictated by a keen
sense Of our common interests and
risks, privately before the executive and

This message, which was signed by
fifty-three members of parliament, re-
ceived the following reply from Presi-
dent Kruger:
Il wish you and other sympathizers
will notice. as you have doubtless al
ready seen by the reply OF the imperial
government, that we have, according
to your desire, considered the matter
and accepted the invitation to the joint
commission.
why the acceptance was delayed is
shown by the dispatches published. l

once more from my heart for the man

luton FINALLY, I express the hope that
your work and ours will not be fruit

The meeting also adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that it had heard with
satisfaction that the executive of the
Transvaal had accepted the invitation
of the joint inquiry, and trusted the
acceptance would render an outbreak
of hostilities practically impossible.

Growing Belief In London That
There Will Be No War.

London, Sept. 21.-The speech of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, the former
liberal leader. to his constituents at
New Tredegar last night, and the mes
sage Of the Cape Town Afrikander
members of parliament to President
Kruger, have proved red rags to the
war at any price party. The Cape
papers declare the action Of the mem
berS of parliament amounts almost to
treason, and the same terms are APP
piled to Sir William Vernon Harcourts
remarks by the English anti-BCer pa
pers.
Those who claim the situation has
not yet passed the Rubicon of pacific
negotiations. see in President Kruger's
answer to the Afrikanders a genuine
desire to avoid hostilities. The report
that he has personally petitioned Queen
Victoria. to avert hostilities certainly
does not bear out the alarmist reports
of English corresponding in South At
RIGA that President Kruger determined
long since upon war. Nevertheless,
preparations for that eventuality con-
tinue theoretically on both sides. The
Beers are iaagering and British troops
are reaching Kimberley and Lady
Smith, the onward march of the latter
being marked by enthusiastic ovations
from the scared inhabitants and hordes
hurrying southwark for safety.

SHE KILLED HER LOVER.
Young Woman Indicted on Charge of
Murder In Illinois.

Princeton, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-Miss Kate
Herbolsheirner was indicted by the
grand jury here today for the murder
of Charles Salzman, a young man with
whom she had been keeping company.
Miss Herbolsheimer claimed that Salz-
man had asked her to marry him, but
that she declined to do so. She says
that for several weeks after she re-
jected him she received anonymous let
tiers, of which she believed him to be
the writer, and in which her life and
that of her relatives were threatened
After that she found some strychnine
about the we'll at her fathers home,
and from circumstances she claimed to
know, concluded that Salzman had left
it there.
With a carriage and horse she drove
to HoIowayville. where Salzman was
at work, and asked him to take q ride.
They proceeded few blocks when a
shot was fired. Both had revolvers.
Salzman received four bullets and died
next morning. Miss Herbolsheimer re-
ceived two shots and recovered She
will plead self-defense, claiming that
Salzman commenced the shooting.

CRACKER TRUST FORMED.
All the Factories On the Pacific Coast
Have Been BOUGHT Up.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 21-The pro-
moters of the Pacific Coast Biscuit
company have paid 100000 in cash as
the first payment on the purchase of
seven of the principal cracker and
candy factories on the Pacific coast.
This is the contamination of the
cracker combina ton which was formed
last spring by eastern investors, head
ed by c. W. Warner of Syracuse, N.
Y, and which became abertive owing
to the failure of the purchasers to
supply the cash payments as they fell
due. Since the former deal failed, the
promoters of the Pacific Coast Biscuit
company have been working diligently
to effect a consolidation of cracker in
terests on the coast and have now, ap-
parently, succeeded.
The new company starts in business
with a capital of $4,000, 900. The fac
tories purchased are as follows: South
ern California Cracker company at
Los Angeles; Portland Cracker COM
pany, operating two factories, one at
Portland, the other at Seattle; the
Washington Cracker company of Spok-
ane; the Oregon Cracker company,
Portland; Seattle Cracker & Candy
company, Seattle, and the American
Biscuit company, San Francisco.
The larger factories take part cash
and part stock in the new corporation.
A considerable sum is set aside in the
plans of the company for improvements
and extensions of trade.
