TRANSPORTATION OF TROOPS.
The War Office has ordered the whole
transport and supply ships for an
army corps to prepare to proceed to
the Cape. This is very important or
der and implies the early dispatch of
an army corps.
The Currie Line has Just received an
order from the Admiralty to prepare
the Bra emar Castle, OF that line. to
sail for the Cape October 9th, with ], 400
officers and men. This is an entirely
fresh batch OF troops and the compost

In spite of these warlike preparations,

the Beers will finally concede the
British demands.
THE CABINET COUNCIL.
London, Sept. 27.-Notices for tho adj
journed Cabinet Council were forward
ed this afternoon and the chief govern
ment whip will be on hand to give i'm

at regarding the re-assembling of
Parliament.
Information from Bloemfontein this
evening leaves little doubt that the
Orange Free State Volksraad is unan-
imous in supporting the Transvaal.
WAR A NECESSITY.
More important light is thrown on
the situation by frank sta ement to-
day to the Associated Press by Sir
Walter Peace. agent general for Natal
in London. who fought against the
Beers in former years. He seid:
THE attitude of the Orange Free
State means its Inevitable acquisition
by Great Britain. Peace In South At
rica can only be accomplished by war.
In my opinion a WIZ would not last
more than two months. In order to
make pacifcation effective Great Bril-
tain must assume absolute control
over the whole OF South Africa.

London, Sept. 27.-The situation re-

the feeling of gloom has deepened. Ca
bl rams from Pretoria and Cape Town

Palaces got one. In the second two
bases on balls and several errors gave
Princeton two more and the Palaces
drew a blank. Neither side scored
again until the sixth when the Palaces
made one on a two-bagger, and wild
throw. In the first half Of the seventh
the Palaces got two and tied the score
on base on balls, a three-base hit and
two singles. In Princeton's half the
two first men up went out and for the
first time the game began to look ex-
citing. Then Norton got two base

on him and it looked as if the score
would remain a tie. He connected on
the third strike with the longest hit

The Sunday game was a woeful ex-
hibition. The fielding was yellow and
base running stupid. Several bad
breaks were made which would have
brought blush of shame to the faces
of the kids who play ''three old cat''
during the noon hour at the primary
school and in this contest the home
team went the visitors one better and
gave them the game. The details of
the game were too narrowing to per-
NIT the publication of the score. The
