A Serious Runaway.

Perry Madden and James O'Brien
were driving one of Geo. Selsvold's
teams yesterday afternoon. They were
in front of p. Whalen's store, and
quickly turned the team around TO the
east, the sleigh catching on a stone
and tipping the occupants out. The
team ran into the cement post in
front of the Stiles Hotel, one of the
horses striking its shoulder against the
post and almost killing he animal. 1t
will doubtless have to be killed. The
other horse broke loose and was caught
near CIark's livery barn.

of Dutch derivation will not tolerate, and
the effort of Mr.. Kruger to postpone the
evil day of final settlement can only. al
the best, delay the inevitable outbreak OF
hostilities, with the alternative Of complete
surrender, for a few weeks.
1t is 10 be suspected that Kru-
ger still hopes for complications in
the high politics of Europe that might
back his hand and make Great Brit
ain hesitate to attack him. 9th
erwise, delay cannot well be to his advan-
tage. for before many days Delagoa Bay
will be blockaded against him, communica-
tion shut off with Cape Colony, and a
largely increased British force ready to
move against Pretoria.
Time was when a great deal of outside
sympathy was wasted on these Boer semi
barbarians. Not any will be now. The
savage threat to destroy all Industrial
plants in the Rand, to lay the fine city of
johannesburg in ashes, and to massacre the
active Outlanders, has cost Kruger and his
people the last fraction of consideration
they might have commanded in the United
States or elsewhere. Henceforth their little
murderous and fanatical oligarchy is to be
regarded as a blot on the map of cyiliza-
ton, to be wiped out at the first oppor-
tunity for the good of mankind

REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT.
A High Compliment Paid to Colonel
Rice,s Troops.

Hotel Champlain, " Y, Aug. 1s.-This
has been the 'warmest day since the arrival
OF the President, but it was not too warm
10 prevent the President and Mrs. Mckin-
ley from going driving in company with
Secretary Hitchcock. In the afternoon
the President and Mrs Mckinley, Vice
Prseldent and Mrs. Hobart, Attorney Cen
eral and Mrs. Grggs Secretary Hitchcock.
Secretary Cortelyou, and Stenographer
Forster, and Mr.. o. D. Seavey drove over
to the Garrison, where the President re-
viewed the new Twenty-sixth regiment.
The ranks of the regiment have just been
hlied and it was the first time the men
had appeared on parade in their new Khaki
uniforms. The President highly compli-
mented Colonel Rice and the officers for the
so!dierly appearance of the regiment, say
ing that it was almost impossible TO con-
cefve how so large a body Of men could
be got into such shape in the remarkably
short time since they were enlisted.
The feature of the occasion was the pre-
sentation of a handsome flag to the regi-
ment by Mrs. Mckinley. An immense
crowd witnessed the review and flag pre-
sentation. A luncheon for the Presidential
party followed at the residence OF Colonel
Rice. As the President arrived on the
grounds he was given the customary salute
and the same on leaving. Mrs. Mckinley
withstood the fatigue of the day in splen-
did manner. Congressman l.. w. Emer-
son was the Presidents only caller today.
