DOM PAUL REFUSES.
He win Not submit to the Demand Of
England for Court of Inauiry-He
Proposes New Terms


LONDON, Aug. 22.--There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger has
refused to submit to the demands OF
Mr.. Cham berlain for the appointment
OF court of inquiry. He may have
done SO automatically or hedgingly.
But that his answer is regarded by the
British government as tantamount TO
positive refusal is now an established
fact The colonial Office is normally
non committal, but there are other
evidences which amply justify the
statement.
The report that President Kruger
has proposed new terms is somewhat
verified by the guarded comment of
the colonial Office officials and the ir-
ritability displayed there. There is
not the slightest doubt that they now
believe war is the only way to settle
the controversy. They would far rather
have had curt, defiant answer than
the temporizing answer which the
Boer president has sent With the
former Great Britain would have plain
grounds for quick commencement of
hostilities. Under the circumstances,
which il is believed now exist, aggres-
sive action needs considerable expla-
nation to justify it in the eyes of the
world and the English majority who
still declare that war would be an out
rage.
However. IL Mr.. Cham bcrlain has
his way, it is believed President Kru-
gers counter proposals will meet with
scaut attention. and unless the Beers
completely back down. which is not
likely, the crisis will quickly develop
into war. 1t has developed that the
var Office has been aware of the ma
ture of the Transvaal governments
answer for several days, and that it
was communicated TO the war Office,
hence it is proba BILE that Great Britain
will delay the announcement as little
as possible.
A high colonial officer expressed to
the representative of the Associated
Press his disgust at what he termed
"Kruger's cupidity and Hypocrisy"
He said: The kind of game which
Kruger is playing must be clear to
Americans. The protestations of the
Beers that they wish to live a quiet,
agricultural life. may be the tune of
some on the veldt but the gang in Pre-
toria is simply after money. Though
President Kruger says many harsh
things OF the outlanders, he never
hesitated to make money out of them,
either by fair or foul means.
This Transvaal question can not
be judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back so years. 1t has been
hanging fire all that time, and the
sooner it is settled now the better"
Though the official did not actually
say SO. it was clear that he oeliev ed
war was the only method of settle
ment 1t is learned that the govern
ment is somewhat annoyed at the pub
lies slight interest in the Transvaal
The official above quoted said to
newspaper representative: "Dreyfus
seems the only thing that our people
think about, though England is n
most serious crises. This indi ference
is perhaps typical"
A special dispatch from Cape Town
says there is great danger of an out
break of violence on the frontier and
that the scum of South Africa are en-
listing throughout the colony and are
being sent TO Pitsani and jameson on
The border.

to issue twelve complimentary tickets,
good for three months, to those who
have attended the reading rooms and

The State Banquet held at the
Methodist church last Thursday even
ing under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid Society was pronounced by all the
best entertainment ever given by the
church. The representatives of the
various states or groups of states put
on neat badges which showed their
native state or section. These badges
cost 25 cents and entitled the pur-
chaser to plate at the banquet table
OF his state. The members of the
various states assembled in groups in
the main body of the church few
minutes after six o'clock, and as their
state was called they passed to the
church parlors and took their places
at their respective tables Two hun

the sublimity and grandeur of kingly
