| The most intense excitement prevails
here. 1t is generally believed the
Beers will be in Natal tomorrow.
Six hundred Orange Free State
burghers assembled at Albertina yes
terday and started for the Natal bor-
der. They probably intend to raid
Ladysmith or cooperate with the Boer
raiders in the destruction of the rail-
way below th at place.
Albertina is not far over the frontier
in the Orange Free State, on the rail
road connecting Bethlehem, Orange
Free State, and on the main line to La
dysmith.
Lsdysmith cannot be reached by the
road to the south.
The position of the British frontier
posts in Natal is now most critical.
PARLIAMENT SESSION CALLED.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-It is announced
that the parliament will meet on Octo-
Der II.
The parliament is summoned by the
government to share in the RESPONSE
bility of events in South Africa and to
vote funds for the war office.
The session will doubtless be stormy .,
but the budget will go through.
The war and colonial offices are work
ing night and day. In addition to the
overwhelming detail to be mastered in
connection with the South African cam.
paign, a sharp eye must be kept on the
British defenses in Indian and Asiatic
possessions.
The war Office is meeting with obsta-
cles in securing the trans spOr tation to
South Africa of horses, mules and sup
plies. Its heavy expenditure is also
exciting much criticism.
The opinion here is general that hos
tilities will begin before the week is
past, if not by Wednesday. In many
quarters no reply to England's last
note is expected other than dash OF
10000 Beers into Natal. 1t is reported
that Gen. Sir Redvers Henry Butler,
who will command the British South
African forces in the field, will leave
for Cape Town on Friday with large
body OF troops.

about 10 o'clock and then life had ap
parently been extinct about two hours
DR.. Villas was called, but, of course,
could do nothing and Justice Spencer

An effort was made to keep the mat

tracing a crowd land when a HERALD
reporter called short time
| after the news got out "a
clerk in the cigar store- brusquely
said he had nothing to tell until after
dinner. The Information was easily
procured from other sources, however.
DR.. Villas said the sbullet passed en-
tirely through the mans head and
that he was found clutching q revolver
in his right hand. There was no
question but that he had shot himself
for he left a letter behind explaining
why he had determined to take his
own life.
A dead wagon was backed up to the
rear entrance of the factory and the
tice Spencer also visited the house to
get such Information as could be OBJ

quarelled one hight in Juarez .and the
deceased shot his friend in two places,
in the right breast and in the left fore

The Northern Pacific surveyors are
rushing their work on the south side OF
Snake toward the Psaco connection i'll
furtherance of the cutoff plan. 1t is an
nounced that this survey will be COM
pleted next month, and that contracts
will be let for immediate construction.
This will call for heavy outlay, as the south
side road is said to be all expensive one
to build. A bridge at Lewiston will be
the very first undertaking at this end
The work is to be pushed from both con-
nections as rapidly as possible.
The Northern Pacific has already com.
menced work on the grade of the Lapwai
spur. This spur is to be finished before
harvest to accommodate the wheat-grow
ers on the line. This short section is re-
garded as being very important one, as il
will catch a great deal of wheat that 9th
erwise would belong to the o. r. & N
boats.

have beon engaged this week correcting
the curves OH the proposed line up Clear
