|CR|S|S IS DUE TUESDAY.
DR.. Leyds Says the Formal Decla-
ration of War Will Then Be
Made by the Beers.
A GENERAL UPRISING LOOKED FOR.
Defeats Predicted for England In the Early
Stages, Owing to Delay in Preparations
France and Russia May Become Inter
ested In the Event of Dutch Uprising
Throughout South Africa

London. Oct. S.-The Daily News
Berlin special says that DIR. Leyds
names Tuesday as the date for the
formal declaration of war by the Beers.
The German opinion is that England,
owing to delay in preparations, viii
experience defeats in the first stages of
the war, causing general Dutch up
rising throughout South Africa. Then.
perhaps France and Russia might aban-
don the policy of inactivity. The con
dition is described as similar to that
preceding the American war of indie
pendence.
Kruger, no doubt, is pleased owe.
Cham berlaiu's policy of sparring for
wind. Every minute consumed in En-
glands preparations for expeditions is
taken advantage of by the Beers. APP
parently reliable reports declare that
the Beers are maSSing on the Natal
frontier, not in small squads, but in
numbers sufficient to alarm the home
government. That the Beers will
strike the first blow is generally pre-
dicted. This, according to reports, is
the plan advocated by Kruger. The
exodus from Pretoria and Johannes
burg continues, which is taken as a
pretty sure sign that the Beers have
their minds fully made up that war is
certain. 1t is believed that martial
law will be declared throughout the
Transvaal Immediately. which will
place matters more securely in Kruger S
hands.
1t is evident that Buffalo river, the
northeastern boundary of Natal, is to
be the Potomac of the war. In view of
its strategic value, Joshua Joubert has
taken personal command of the Boer
forces there, establishing a strong line
Of pickets along the river, and has or
dered the natives to drive in all the
stock. All the available burghers in
the neighbOrhood have been requiSi-
toned, with the result that some ZOO
have modified at Wakkerstroom, the
chief point of mobilization there.
The remarkable absence of news
from South Africa leads to the belief
that there has been widespread cut
ting of telegraph wires, or that extra
censorship has been established. Had
the Beers not determined to fight if
out, or if they were not prepared for

that the train was sidetraclxed at
Standerton, Transvaal, to make way
for the trains carrying burghers to the
Natal border.

Troops Have Right of WAY.
THEY WANT RECOGNITION.
Gen. Otis Says Insurgents Are Merely Ma
neuvering With View to Securing
Legal Standing.

Washington, Oct. 3.-A dispatch from
Gen. Otis was received at the war de-
partment giving an account of his
meeting with the insurgent ENJOYS.
Gen. Otis said the interview with
Aguina1do's representatives indicated
that the leaders were maneuvering
solely with view to secure recog-
milton of the insurgent government.
All such overtures were rejected
and the ENJOYS were informed that the
only thing the United States would
recognize was a white flag and the
grounding of arms. He also informed
the ENJOYS that such capitulation on
the part of the insurgents should come
quickly, in order to avoid the conse
quences of active war as the United
States did not intend to permit any de
lay in the matter. The course of Gen.
Otis is approved at the war department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch from
Gen. Otis over to the white house for
the presidents consideration.

HIGHER CRITICISM DISCUSSED.
Elimination of Christ.s Divinity Would
Leave Small Hope to Christians.

Washington, Oct. S.-A feature of
the discussion to-day of the date and
place of holding the next council of the
Pan-Presbyterian alliance was the at
tack made by Rev. III. A. McDougal,
editor of the Westminster, of Toronto.
upon the programme of the present
council. He thought the next might
well be postponed for ten years he
said:
The stale, fiat and Improbable questions with
which this council has seemed concerned have
been discussed at every council and long ago
lost every particle of interest for though fui
and intelligent men. If we are to face another
lean and barren programme, 1910 would De a
better date for the next council than i've years
hence.
The alliance ratified the action of
| the committee in selecting Liverpool.
! Eng, as the place and 1904 as the time
of the next council.
The discussion was participated in
| by some of the ablest men present and
developed into an attack upon the
methods of the opponents of the So
called higher criticism. Hon. Sam
| uel Smith, a member of the British
parliament, held that the elimination
| of the divinity of Christ would leave &c
Christianity only a few worthless rem
nantS upon which it would be impOs
sible to maintain a religious system
Rev. DR.. Laws, of Columbia, S. c.,
| said:
All this higher criticism is to my mind an
evolution and emanation from the DarHinian
theory Of the evolution of man. 1t is not posi-
BILE to baptize that theory into Christianity, be-
cause it has not the clements OF a Christian
character.
Rev. DIR. Henry C. McCool., of Phila-
| delphia. maintained that there ought
| to be no conflict between religion and
science. There was nothing unnatural
in the Christian religion. What seems
| supernatural is really natural. He
agreed with DR.. Gerhardt in the opin-
ion that because a man was an expert
| in science, it did not follow that he
| also was an expert in that spiritual
prescience necessary for a correct in
| depreciation of the Bible.

Not Even for Medicine.

Ardmore, 1. T., Oct. 3.-United States
Marshal Hammer has issued orders re-
garding the sale of cider and liquor in
the Indian territory. The order is far
reaching in effect. Express companies
and the shippers are warned to not
carry the same or sell it. Whisky for
medical purposes must not be intro
duced. This order grew out of the ex-
cessive introduction of whisky, so lib
orally allowed for private use, but the
privilege was abused. Western trade
