SITUATION STILL SERIOUS
The Impression at Cape Town is That
the Beers Will Take the Initiative.
THEY MAY ATTACK AT ANY HOUR
Troops Leaving for Kimberley
and the North.
THE OuTLANDER PRESS PREDICTS WAR

London, Eng, Sept 19.-There is
an unyerified rumor from Cape Town,
today, that the Beers have delivered
another message to the British High
Commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner, more
conciliatory than yesterdays reply.
The rumor, however, fails to obtain
much credence, and is not taken as in
any way mitigating the seriousness of
tho crisis.
The Outlander press sees nothing but
war ahead, and urges the Outlanders
to leave immediately.
The London press is now inclined TO
take the view that the recent action
on tho part of the Doors does not make
war n certainty, though it does place
the British cabinet in a position where
it must take steps so aggressive that
war or utter ignonlinious submission
will be the only alternatives remaining
to the Transvaal, and is by no means
so persistent in urging the government
10 move, except in the matter of hurry
ing troops to the probable scone OF
action.
The Pail Mall Gazette prints dis
patch from Cape Town. which snys;
1.-THE general Impression is that the
Beers will at once take the initiative,
and an attack is expected at any hour. y
Troops continue to leave Cape Town
for Kimberley and the North, and the
first class cruiser Terrible, sailing from
| Portsmouth for China today, is re-
ported to have been ordered to go by
way of Cape Town, instead of Suez.
| Nothing is yet known regarding the
date of the expected cabinet council.

on August 10th.

on August 10th.
In his "RecolectIons Of Bryant and
Emerson" printed in the September
14th issue Of The Youths Companion,
Justin Mccarthy says: "Mr. Bryant
was o delightful host and u charming
companion. He was not large and
impressive man in figure, but he had a
superb and Juriter-like head. His
reading was immense and varied. He
had travelled much and remembered
what he saw. Ho knew several Ian !.
guages, and could make an eloquent
speech in French, italian, German
Oh Spanish. Before going to America
/ had the impression, got from English
writer's on America. that 10 American
could ever learn 10 speak any language
but his own. Bryant impressed me
almost terribly by his knowledge of
trees and plants. While we were driving
together round and about his country
home he often embarrassed me by
asking whether this or that tree or
plant fiourished in England, and if so
in what particular part of England.
Well, think know al oak when l
see it, but am not always quite sure.
/ know a poplar-everybody knows a
poplar; / know birch, and | know a
palm, but there my knowledge ends.
With Bryant felt nightly ashamed
| of my ignorance. ~

L0vE AND COURAGE.
John Wyciif Jackson.
In the tropics men are marching,
Men at sea their weapons WELD,

In the tropics men are marching,
Men at sea their weapons WELD,
But the heavens, overarching,
Are woman's strength and shield.
She will dare the fever's parching,
She will brave the bloody field;
For the Red Cross whispers 'Courage",
Unto Love whose sick are healed.
Men in camp or navy training
For the distant island strife,
Trust the quiet ones refraining
From the din Of drum and fife; w.
They will seek, with no disdaining,
Scenes of woe with carnage rife;
For the Red Cross whispers "Courage"
Unto Love that saveth life. G
Oh the silent cleaners scattered
Where the reapers reap in dole,
And the sheayes are rent and shattered
In the rush for victory's GOAL
How they clasp their burdens battered
By the volley's Humorous roll
For the Red Cross whispers "Courage"
Unto Love that soothes the soul.
