BOERS INVITE war
Continued From First Page.

matUm, met with a good sale In the
central parts Of London, the newsboys
doing a thriving trade on the closing
of the theaters. There was no appa-
rent excitement, however, but a general
feeling was expressed that the Beers
had made a mistake, as their forcing
matters would tend to ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathy which might have been extended
to them had they thrown the stigma OF
declaring war on Great Britain
The text of the Boer ultimatum on ar
irving this morning, was sent with all
speed to Lord Salisbury, who came to
town this afternoon, and a dispatch box
was sent to the Prince of Wales, which
is only done in cases of especial ur-
gency.
The Portuguese minister to Great Brit
ain, Senior Svral, called at the foreign
office this afternoon and had an inter-
view with Lord Salisbury, and his visit
is naturally connected in the public mind
with the alleged purchase by Great Brit
ain Of Delagoa bay. ! dispatch tending
to confirm the report of this purchase
comes from Lourenzo Marques. 1t states
that the British third-class cruiser Phil
omel is anchored fifteen miles off the
port and is supposed to be awaiting the
arrival Of transports and Warshlps to
pilot them into the harbor 1t is quite
certain, however, that the transports
would not go to Lourenzo Marques unless
the British were able to fly their flag over
the port.
The cabinet has been summoned to
meet at the foreign Office on Friday
next.
War preparations by Great Britain are
being pushed with the greatest energy.
The Woolwich arsenal has already for
Warded to South Africa over 3,0OO ooo
cartridges for rifles and machine guns,
and the reservists continue to respond
eagerly to the mobilization proclama-
ton.
DR.. Gavin Brown Clark, Radical mem
Der of the house of commons for Cath
ness. who all along has worked hard
for peace, has just received charac-
teristic letter of thanks from Conn
mandant General Joubert, in which Gen.
Joubert declares that Cecil Rhodes. Dr.
Jameson and Mr. Chamberlain are re-
sponsible for the mischief. He says:
1.-The Johannesburg correspondent says
that Cecil Rhodes regards the organ ia
ton of the Orange Free ate ana inc
Transvaal as two blots, which ne (Cecll
Rhodes says must be wiped out of the
man. He seemed DESTROYS Of doing this
with the blood of our people, and that
of the poor British soldiers. We do not
desire war. We are not a mach for
the nowerful allies of Great Britain and
her willing colonies. We never have
been able to do anything against Eng
lish might.
Mr.. Chamberlain is trying to drive US
into the interior, but 1 still hope God
will speak to the kind heart of her tina
jesty, the queen, and that OF her noble
people, and they compel this Hannah to
cool his hatred against Mordecai.
1--WE are convinced that Mr.. Chamber
lain will try to conquer our country
but we shall try to prevent him, by the
help of God, to the last drop OF our
blood"

GLOOM IN TRANsVAAL.
There VIII BE No birthday Recep-
ton at the Presidency.

LONDON, Oct ia dispatch from Pre-
toria. dated Monday evening, says:
Owing to the state of the country gen
orally and the sad circumstances which
nrevail. it has been officially announced
that there will be no birthday reception
at the presidency. Matters are becom-
ing critical and many Of the burghers
in the three main cOmmandos are impa-
tient and feel that it is suicidal to await
the arrival of Overwhelming reinforce
ments from Europe. The president has
done his utmost to stem this feeling, in
the hope that diplomacy might still settle
matters.
During the past few days Geographic
conferences have been held with Presl-
dent Steyn. and whatsoever course shall
be taken by the Transvaal will receive
the recommendation and support of the
Free State
ut is freely rumored in the town, and
is believed to be correct, that the govern
Inent assumed its firm position because
Great Britains new proposals have not
arrived though Mr. Conyngham Greene,
British diplomatic agent at Pretoria. in
formed State Secretary Reitz nine days
ago that they would be formulated In a
few days time. Consequently the burgh-
ers are alarmed at the continued dispatch
of troops from England and India.
"a telegram received here outlines the
ultimatum in terms as cabled, which the
correspondent gathers has just been dis
patched"
The correspondent says:
Martial law is expected to be declared
on Wednesday, but all depends upon
Great Britain's reply. The Transvaal
forces are being augmented by volunteers
of ali nationalities. The war office is
very busy Ambulance trains are being
formed There is still the faintest hope
that war may be averted.'

CASE IN EQUITY.
Action That Promises Some Inter-
esting Legal Developments.

A case in equity promising interesting
legal developments is that brought In the
United States district court by Henry
Wernecke as guardian for Reinhold E.
Duhnke, both of Manitowoc county, Wis
consin, against Llewellyn A Arnold,
Fannie j. Arnold, his wife and the
Farmers and Mechanics bank, of this
city. In the complaint it is alleged that
Duhnke, in whose behalf the action is
brought, is incompetent to manage his
business or property. About year ago
the county court appointed Carl H.
Paulus as guardian of the estate. On
Sept "a of this year Paulus was removed
by the same court for incompetency and
mismanagement of Duhnkes estate and
Wernecke appointed in his stead.
At the time Duhnke was adjudged in
sane by the court it is claimed that he
owned real estate in Minneapolis valued
at $25, 600. On Oct q, $685. it is further
alleged that, through the influence of Ar
mold and others, Duhnke was induced to
sign deed of the property to Arnold for
the nominal sum of $1,000 about $4,000
less than it was actually worth.
The complaint sets forth that on Oct
o. 1898, six days after the property was
conveyed to Arnold, he and his wife ex-
ecuted mortgage on the property to
the Farmers and Mechanics bank for
the purpose of securing the payment of
two notes amounting to $1,000. The ac-
ton is brought to have the deed set aside.

BRITISH INTERESTS.
Report That the United States Is
Asked to Look After Them.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1O.-Considerable
satisfaction is felt in official circles at the
action of Acting Secretary Hill in declin-
ing to accord recognition to Gen. O'Beirne
as the high commissioner of the Trans
vaal republic. The president, it is under
stood, will probably go so far as to
decline to receive even citizen of the
Boer republic supplied with only cable
credentials. OF course, the effect Of de-
Ginning to accept cable credentials would
be to delay the reception of the Boer rep
preventative until after the war had be-
gun, when the administration could avoid
any complications growing out of for
NAL recognition of Boer Independence.
1t was reported this afternoon that the
British government had requested the
United States to take care of it's interests
in the Transvaal in the event of war.
During the recent war British officials
looked after American interests in Spain,
and it is said the United States would
simply be returning courtesy by looking
after British interests during hostiities
The British government has granted the
request of the United States that an army
officer be permitted to accompany the
British troops. Capt. s. Fl L. Slocum,
Eighth cavalry. now military attache at
Vienna, has been designated for the
service, and he will start shortly for
South Africa.

PANIC IN PARADE.
An Accident Mars Closing Of Chi
cage Fall Festival.

cage FRI FeStIVE1.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10-The last parade Of
the fall festival-the industrial parade
was held tonight Tie people had evil
IDENTIFY been surfeited with parades, for
only very small crowd turned out to
witness it, although a dfizzling rain
doubtless prevented many from coming
down town. The parade was confined to
floats sent out by business houses, and
was short, being not over half an hour in
passing a given point.
display of fire, not on the programme,
took place when the procession was pass
ing along State street. A float repre-
senting q man reclining on a mountain
of collars and cuffs caught fire, and the
frightened horses tried to rush upon the
sidewalk, which was lined with special
tors. AT this moment another float col
lided with the one on fire, and in
tWipkling both were blazing fiercely. By
this time the people on the street were
in a panic. The police were busy with
the burning floats, and could not stop the
crushing and roughness in the crowd
Children were stepped on and women
reeled backwards into the crowd exhaust
of fireworks on one of the floats explod-
ed. Through the smoke the police saw
two women and three men on one float
imprisoned in the burning rack. They
fought to get to the side of the wagon,
but were unsuccessful for a time When
the fire was put out it was found that
Harry Lowell, OF 231 Wabash avenue who
had imperSOnated an Indian on one of
tho floats, was severely burned He will
recover. A number of others were slight
ly injured.

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS.
OsseO Saloon Man Gives Two OF
Them a Hot Game

Them "a Hot Game.
OSSEO, Mimi, Oct. 10-Nic Eckes,
proprietor of a saloon in this place, was
assaulted last night by armed men who
contemplated. robbery, and were only
thwarted by Eckes' determined resist
ance.
About II o'clock Eckes started to go
up stairs, carrying his money box from the
saloon and a lantern in one hand and a
loaded revolver in the other. AS he was
about to take the first step upward,
man jumped from under the stairs and
grabbed him. Eckes Immediately leveled
his gun and fired, and without loss of
time placed the weapon against the breast
of his asailant and fired a second time.
A second man had appeared in the mean
time and forthwith shot Eclzes in the
right arm near the shoulder. Eckes
dropped his cash box and the men ran
away in the darkness, but not until two
more shots had been exchanged.
Eckes had been assaulted and robbed
before, which explains the fact that he
was armed and ready for trouble. The
ball in his arm has not been located. He
had $40 In the box and 5000 in his pockets
He believes that the first robber is badly
wounded at least, and possibly dead
Nothing to confirm this belief has yet
been discovered A thorough search may
reveal some sensational features. His
assailants are generally thought to be
residents who were we'll posted as to his
habits

dent L.. s. Lyon, Secretary Stone and
other officers, was escorted to the private
gallery. His entrance was the sigma. for

NAVY ASSIGNMENTS.
Admirals SchIey and Farquhar Ar
ranging for New Duties.

Admirals Schley and Farquhar Ar
ranging for New Duties.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-Rear Admiral
Schley called at the navy department to-
day to arrange with the officials for the
detail of his staff and some other matters
relating to the assumption Of his duties
as commander Of the South Atlantic sta
ton. The admiral asked for the detail Of
Lieutenant Commander Sears and Lieut..
Wells as flag lieutenant and secretary, re-
spectively. These officers held a similar
connection with the admiral during the
Spanish war. The admiral was Informed
that it will require two weeks to put the
Chicago in shape for her cruise SO it was
arranged that she should sail on the 18th
inst. Meanwhile Admiral Schley has ar
ranged to pay visit to friends in
Georgia.
Rear Admiral n. M. Farquhar will hoist
his flag on the New York, and assume
command of the North Atlantic squadron
in Hampton Roads next Saturday. He
was at the navy department today in con-
ference with Acting Secretary Allen in
regard to the fall and winter movement
Of his fleet. The admiral said there was
no truth in a report coming from Norfolk
that he proposed to ask to be placed on
the retired list after a few months serv-
ice in command of the North Atlantic
station.
capt. James q. Greene has been as
signed to DUTY as captain of the Norfolk
navy yard to succeed Capt. Rockwell,
who goes to the South Atlantic station in
! command Of the Chicago.
The progress making IN the construc-
ton Of the new navy is exhibited in a
report prepared by Chief Constructor
Hfchborn, from which it appears that Of
the battleships the Kearsarge is 96 per
cent advanced towards completion, the
Kentucky SO per cent the Illinois 70 per
cent, the Alabama so per cent, the Wis
consin Il per cent, the Maine IA per cent,
the Ohio per cent and the Missouri 1
per cent The cruiser Albany, building in
England, is IS per cent advanced and the
monitors range from to 25 per cent. The
| sixteen torpedo boat destroyers and the
| seventeen torpedo boats under construc-
ton range all the way from 2 per cent to
50 per cent. The submarine boat Plunger
has come to a standstill remaining at SIS
per cent.
The Oregon arrived yesterday at Hong

ARMY OF TENNESSEE.
President Mckinley Paid IL Visit to
the Veterans


CHICAGO, Oct 10.-The twenty-first
annual reunion of the Army of the Ten
nessee opened at Memorial hall today.
The society is made up Of the commits
stoned officers of that army, and nearly
zoo Of the veterans were present when the
first meeting was called today
After an invocation by Bishop Fallows
reports of the secretaries were read and
accepted Progress was also reported on
the Sherman monument, the foundation
for which has been laid south of the
Treasury building in Washington.
1t is possible that a grand reunion of
the Potomac, Cumberland and Tennessee
will be held in Chattanooga in 1900, &C
ccrding to Gen. Dodge. Negotiations to
this end are pending, and the matter was
referred to the committee chosen to select
the next place of meeting. Competition is
keen for the location of the next reunion,
however, and the plans for the three
cornered meeting may not mature.
During the meeting of the society Presi
dent Mckinley called, and an en-
thusiastic reception was given him. An
ovation was also given Mrs. John A.
Logan, who made a brief visit.
During the afternoon a social reunion
was held, there being no formal pro-
gramme. Many of the members attend
ed the public reception to Mckinley.
