LONDON, June 24.-The Shropshire
regiment has been ordered to hold itself
in readiness for immediate moarkation
for Capetown.
A dispatch from Capetown says: The
tension is extreme Business is at a
standstill and the general feeling is that
England must promptly bring matters
to an issue. The league will have no
difficulty in preventing meetings sup
porting Sir Alfred Miners attitude, the
desire being to refrain from embarrass-
ing the imperial authorities. The
Orange government is urging the Trans
vaal to make further concessions. Many
people consider that Sir Alfred Miners
franchise proposals are useless without
the granting Of IL seats in the mining
centers and the right to speak English
in the Volksraad. Otherwise it will be
impossible to select representative men.

Joseph Chamberlain, in the house of

the British troops in South Africa to a
total Of 10000 men.

Mission Of the French Cruiser May Be to
Meet the Sfax.
BREsT, France, June 26.-The French
first class cruiser Tage put to sea yester-
day, the official explanation being that
she is going to experiment with carrier
pigeons Usually torpedo boat is sent
and the opinion gains ground that the
Tage has gone to meet the Sfax and to
take Captain Dreyfus on board. The
pigeons can be used to announce the
transfer and the Tage might proceed to
another port to land the prisoner As
against this theory and as an Indication
that the landing of Dreyfus will be eff
fected here there is the fact that large
number of gendarmes from the country
around Brest are arriving.
The treasurer of the famous league of
the French Fatherland reached Brest
last evening from Paris and as this or
ganization has been at the bottom Of
the anti-Dreyfus movement it is thought
he has come to organize demonstra-

of Ticket Showing Almost Equal
Strength In the Balloting.
LOUISVILLE, June 26.-There is no
sign OF an agreement between any two
OF the Democratic candidates for COVER
nor and it seems likely that the first
ballot taken when the convention meets
today will result just about as did the
eleventh on Saturday night. Candidates
and delegates have been on the go from
one conference to another, all day, but
without result SO far. The 1899 dele
gates in the convention are divided SO
nearly even that there is not difference
Of thirty votes in the strength of three
candidates, Stone, Goebel and Hardin.
But of these Goebel is the strongest be-
cause Of the solidity of his support. He
controls his following absolutely and
can vote them for himself or throw to
either of his opponents at will. Neither
Stone or Hardin can do this and for that
reason neither is in a position to take
advantage or make terms.
A noteworthy feature of the contest
is the Hardin campaign. Coming into

short of a majority of the delegates,
beaten at every point in the temporary
organization and weakened by adverse
decisions by the credentials committee
involving scores of seats, the Hardin
managers, with consummate cleverness,
jumped into the fight when the game
seemed lost, withdrew the name of Gen
eral Hardin and loft Goaho1 opd Ctopa
to fight it out. These two fell into the
trap and flew at one another's threats
with the result that when the conven-
ton adjourned Saturday night Goebel
and Stone had split and Hardin on the
last ballot stood second in recorded
votes. Meanwhile the three cornered
fight grows warmer and the delegates
who have spent nearly week trying to
nominate a state ticket may yet have to
look outside the trio now occupying the
ring to find leader upon whom they
can unite.

committee Of the arbitration commits
sion spent yesterday afternoon in con-
sidering articles one and seven of the
Russian proposals. All that is left now

the German delegates anticipate ia
vorable decision on that point. The
work is now SO far advanced that the

Bars Out Insurance Corporation.

JEFFERSON CRY, June 24.-State
Superintendent of Insurance O'Rear
today refused to license the Kansas City
Real Estate and Underwriters agency of
Kansas City to act as agent for 81 insur-
a7ice companies. The refusal of license
was based on an opinion of Attorney
General Grow that the articles of asso-
citation do not confer such power on a
corporation end that only individuals
could be agents. This opinion held that
such an association tended to defeat the
application of the antitrust law.

Queen Victoria. at the age of eighty,
has been indulging in the celebrating
sport Of racing. Her opponent was an
aged French peasant, whose team con-
sisted of two sturdy dogs.
Her majesty's carriage was drawn by
white horse of mature age, proved
responsibility and good going powers.
The French and English papers all re-
port this racing incident. The old man
who drove the dogs has been photograph
ed. and now his picture appears In the
Sunday Journal.
Queen Victoria Is now staying at Nice,
in the Rivera, to which region she is ac-
customed to go for a considerable period
every spring. She goes out driving daily
attended by one of her daughters and
the usual retinue of attendants.
One day recently the old peasant lay
in wait with his dog cart, and Immediate

for the absence of cultivated farms and
