|NEARY|NG THE PUBLIC.
British Press Warns the Government
Against Its Haulting Policy in
the Present Crisis.
ALLEGED TACTICS OF THE TRAasVAAL.
Natal Border, Hoping to Get n Snatch
Victory and Secure Easy Terms of Peace,
ssin n1SS1-Rhodes' Sensational Charges
in the Cape Town Assembly.

London, Sept. 24.-The Morning Post
warns the government that it runs a
two-fold risk by it's renewed patience;
6rst, of exhausting the patience of the
loyalists in South Africa; second, of its
supporters at home, who are not too
enthusiastic over its previous dealings
with the imperial questions. The
Daily Chronicle bluntly tells the gov
ernment that their proceedings are
undiginified," adding:
The fact remains that President Kruger has
been given another period of grace, thanks
primarily to the fact that are not yet pre-
pared for war, but also probably to Salisbury's
noderating influence on Mr.. Chamberlain's i'm
petuosity. 1t may be taken for granted that
the Transvaal has at least until October to de-
eide, as no doubt it will be allowed a week to
consider Great Britains. new proposals, which
cannot be presented until after the next cabinet
council. BY this time the attitude of the Orange
Free State will be known. Whilst the hostility
or the Free State will be of future advantage,
by opening an easier way to Pretoria, it is u
great, present danger of taking the British
forces by surprise before the preparati are
concluded. :.
1t is asserted at Cape Town that the
combined Transvaal and Orange Free
State tactics are to prevent the British
ooNduCc lTOLl the Ndtdl DOrOer ana as
sumo the offensive against British ter
ritory from along the unprotected Or
ange river border. President Kruger's
hope is thus to get a snatch victory, as
in 1881, and secure easy terms of peace.
Rhodes Sensational Speech.
Cape Town, Sept. 24.-There was an
extraordinary scene in the assembly
during the debate on the registration
of voters bill. Cecil Rhodes. who hith-
erto has deprecated the advisability of
hostilities, repeated the statement that
several members had accepted money
for electioneering purposes from the
Transvaal government with which En-
gland is now on the verge of war;
Mr.. Rhodes pointedly indicated that
some of the mem bers were practically
guilty of treason, that they were sup
porters of a ministerial party who lived
entirely on offal," and were nothing
more than political scavengers." He
called on the premier to hold these in
check.

CALLED HER AN AMATEUR.
For This Reason Julia Morrison, an Actress
at Chattanooga, Tenn, Killed Her Stage
Manager, Frank Leiden.

Chattanooga, Tenn Sept. 24.-Julia
Morrison, leading lady of the ''Mr.
Plaster of Paris" farce comedy COM
pany, shot and killed Frank Leiden,
stage manager and leading man of the
company, at eight O'Clock last night, at
the City opera house, on the stage. just
before the curtain rose for the perform
ance to begin. Three shots were fired
at close range by the woman, all talk
ing effect in Leiden's head. He sank
to the floor and was dead in few min
utes. The woman was arrested and
taken to the city Jail. 1t appears that
they had quarreled over the woman's S
alleged bad acting, Leiden accusing
her of being an amateur. The woman
claims that Leiden repeatedly insulted
her, that he had made improper pro-
posals to her and in self-defensc she
shot him.

"Down!" shouted Mr.. lynn again.
We all dropped. and no sooner SO
than five or six pistols banged in re-

self with a sptetul chug in the boat.
We scrambled up. drawing our
swords and remaining pistols. and as
the smoke lifted were able to see what

We stood fast with our last pistols.

Some one shouted, and I thought
there was n crash, as though at least

man made fierce but ill-judged thrust
