No Apparent Change in Transvaal
Situation, But Both Sides
Are Active.
Reply Of President Kruger De-
clines to Concede the British
Demands.
Olive Schreiner Makes an Flo
quent Appeal Against British
Aggression.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Transvaal
situation remains practically un-
changed. The general apprehension in
regard to the outcome was reflected by
the decline in consols and stocks on the
Stock Exchange where, although all
stocks continue depressed, there was
not the slightest approach to excite
nent.
The second edition Of The Times con-
tains a dispatch from johannesburg
which says:
There is, am informed, some early
coup in contemplation. The quantities
of compressed forage forwarded in the
direction of the Natal border indicates
some move on the part of the troops in
that quarter.
1.-THE government is buying horses
freely today"
The evening papers all indicate the
seriousness of the crisis, but the St.
James Gazette says:
1T need not be imagined that any
thing will be done on our side in a
hurry. The cabinet has first to recon
slider and secondly to formulate fresh
proposals. Therefore these commenta-
tors of the crisis who assume that fight
ing will Immediately commence are OBJ
viously little previous. Of course, it
is quite possible the Beers may begin
hostilities,. in which case our troops will
have to defend British territory. But,
unless the Beers take the offensive, the
negotiations will be prolonged until the
reinforcements now on their way to
South Africa reach their distinction"
Olive schreiner's Appeal.
Olive Schreiner (Mrs. Cronwright)
contributes an eloquent cable letter on
the situation to the Manchester Guar
dian.
She says: "Let England clearly un-
derstand what war in South Africa
means. The largest empire the world
has ever seen will hurl it's full force
against small state, and about 90, 900
men, including lads of 16 and old men
of 10, without standing army or or
ganized commissariat. The entire little
people will have to resolve itself into
an army, the wives and daughters to
prepare the bread and meat the farmers
will put in their saddlebags when they
60 to meet the enemy. Today the
women of the Transvaal are de-
manding guns that they may take
their part in the last stand. We may
crush the little people with the aid Of
Australians and Canadians, since the
British isles seem unable to crush them
alone. We may take their land and
lower the little nag Of his independence,
so dear to the Boer. but we shall have
placed q stain npon our own that CEN
turtles will not wash out. Only the in.
ternational Spectator, who through
persistent misrepresentation by means
of the press has wrought this evil, will
gain and fill his already overloaded
pockets with South African gold"

Scarf Wells For Bergere Hats.
A Newport fad is to wear very odd
scarf wells over those extremely smart
bergere hats. They say they have not
been placed in the shops yet and fndi-

very lately as the. Ifonyeaus CT. Their
oddity consists 10 their width and the
fact that ONE half the vefl Is chenille

are intended to beauty the face, the
plain gauze to enwrap the flowers or
whatever the hat trimmings may hap
pen to be and thus preserve their beau
ty, which is capital idea. The long
ends are treated in many ways. They
may pass around the neck as muffier,
or they are caught up on the left and
let fly to the breeze over the shoulder,
or are brought down into the belt as a
crayat. White, black, black and white,
blues. golden browns and mapve and
grays are to the fore. The art Of be-
comingness IS in the pinning of them

are fatal unless well worn, but such
lessons are quickly learned Every

THE TRANsvAn REPLY.

Kruger's' Answer to the Latest Dispatch
From Chamberlain.
PRETORIA, Sept. 18,-The reply of the
government of the South African Re-
public to the latest dispatch from the
British secretary Of state for the col
onies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, after
acknowledging the receipt of the Brit
ish note, proceeds in part as follows:
"The government deeply regrets the
withdrawal, as the government under
stands it, of the invitation contained in
the British dispatch of Aug. %, and the
substitution, in place thereof, of an en-
tirely new proposal.
"The proposals, now fallen through,
contained in the Transvaal dispatches
of Aug. u, were elected from this gov
eminent by suggestions made by the
British diplomatic agent in Pretoria to
the Transvaal state secretary, sugges-
tions which this government
Acted Upon in Good Faith
and after specially ascertaining whether
they would be likely to prove accepta-
BILE to the British government. This
government had, by no means, an in

would be settled on their merits.
AS regards to joint commission, the

FURTHER there must be misappre-
hensi6n if u be assumed that this gov
eminent was prepared to lay proposals
for a five years franchise and quarter
representation of the new population
before the volksraad for unconditional
acceptance. AS to the language, this
government never made any offer such
as is referred to, considering, as it did,
such measure both
Unnecessary and Undesirable.
The proposed conference as opposed to
the joint commission of inquiry, this
government is likewise not unwilling to
enter upon, but the difficulty is that an
acceptance thereof is made dependent
upon the acceptance, on the side of the
Transyaal, of precedent conditions
which this government docs not feel at
liberty to submit to the volksraad, and,
moreover, tie subjects to be treated at
the conference remain underlined
''This government ardently desires
and gladly accepts arbitration, as its
firm intention is to adhere to the terms
to the London convention of 1884"
The reply concludes:
eff her majesty's government is will

by Mr.. Chamberlain, it would put an
end to the present state of tension. Race
hatred would decrease and die out, and
the prosperity and welfare of the South
African republic and the whole Of South
Africa would be developed and fur
thered and determination between the
different nationalities would increase"

Difficulties Over the Chicago Cornerstone
Laying Reach Climax.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The difficulties
between the labor unions and, the COM
mitttee on arrangements Of the Chicago
fall festival reached climax when in
structions were issued from festival
headquarters suspending all prepare
tons for the celebration until the diff
culties with organized labor are def
nitely settled.
A letter was sent by Chairman Truax
to the various committee chairmen ad-
vising them to stop further payment of
funds until it is definitely known
whether the labor unions will carry out
their announced intention of declaring a
strike on the federal building and on
the festival arches and other prepare
tory work, unless the cornerstone to be
used in the federal building is discarded
and one cut by union labor substituted.
