Time Allowed British Is Up.

4 London news agency publishes the
following dispatch from Volksrust,
TransVaal, dated, Oct 3:
IAN unconfirmed report is in circu-
lation here that the time allowed the
British troops 10 withdraw from the
TransVaai border will expire at 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and that
failure to comply with the demand Will
be considered tantamount to declara-
ton Of war"
The British foreign office officials in
formed the Associated Press that abso-
lutely nothing was known there of any
Transvaal demand for the the with
drawal Of the British troops from the
frontier.
a meeting of liberal members of the
nouse of commons including several
former members of liberal cabinets,
was held this morning at the private
residence of the leader of the liberal
IMPOSITION in the house of Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman. The subject
1nder consideration was the govern
nent's South African policy and the
meeting resolved to support the govern
ment on the reassembling of the parlia-
ment even at the expense of placing the
present official leaders of the liberal
party in conflict with their former
colleagues, Sir William Vernon Har-
court and Mr.. John Morley.
Reports of Boer Movements.
The various announcements regard
ing Boer movements seem to indicate
their probable plan of campaign in the
event Of hostilities. Their chief force
apparently would surround the narrow
stretch of Natal territory jutting into
the Transvaal thus threatening Laings
Neck. Charlestown and Dundee while
the Orange Free State commando from
Harrismith is expected to operate near
Van Reenars Pass and threatening
Lady Smith.
Military critics are confident that
Great Britain viii hold her own in
Natal.
The Free State commanders appear
to be moving slowly. It is probable the
government has loaned a portion of the
Free State artillery to the Transvaal.
The only concentration at present is at
Harrisfnith, in the northeastern section
Of the Free State and at Boshof north
west of Bloemfontein, a position
threatening Kimberley, and fourteen
streams, at Rockville where the burg
hers expect the aid of the disloyai per-
ton of the farmers and at Aliwal north
of Cape Colony.

AMONG the readers Of the Denver Evening Post,
many have doubtless wondered at the caustic wit and
vrile energy of the Postscript Man." To those at
all familiar with the West and it's wild free ways
his poems have held charm and excellence of
beauty unsurpassed and with thrill of pleas
ure that receive the first issue Of the "Post Lii
brary The issue is compiled entirely of the "Post-
script Mans poems; and while there is that in it
which is doubtless destined to make the of
James Barton Adams known and loved in every
home in all our broad West, to those who know him
now and appreciate his genius, he will continue
to be just the "Denver Postscript Man. The little
volume lies before On it's outside is the charac-
teristic line you'll be long time dead" and we
cannot help wondering if it is not glory enough for
one man to have said only that and while Mr.. Adams
has said many other things witty wise and Western,
none are, perhaps characteristic. That it can
not fail to become national abhorsm-a synonym
for push, energy and joyous superiority to circum-
stances, is not difficult to foretel Through them
all is interviewer that subtle of Free health
full, hilarious wild-westness. They seem the very
avatar of that which conceive to be highest and
best in Western characteristic. In our humble
opinion the author is destined to outrank Bret Hare
or Joakin Miller, in that he seems to have gotten
much nearer to the heart Of "the Western people"
