President Kruger quotes the Bible
as bearing upon the Transvaal crisis,
and the cable announces the fact to
the world. He remarked that he con-
sidered the Boer position best defined
by a certain chapter OF scripture, and
forthwith more people than in any av-
erage twenty-four hours read the
psalm beginning, Keep not thou 81
lence. o God" Since Cromwell's day
when hearty praying and hard fight
ing went hand in hand. d.rulers and COM
manders who get inspiration from the
Bible are said to be twice armed. No
marching orders OF Boer general
could SO fire the courage OF his SOL
diers as will the words OF the psalm,
which have stirred and strengthened
the hearts OF myriads OF men for many
generations.

The influx of American commercial
men is a constant surprise to English

Entire sections OF streets here are now
lined with the signs of American firms
in every line OF trade. A prominent
Manchester iron man said to corre-
spondent OF the Associated Press: THE
main significance of this inpouring OF
manufacturing firms is that the Amer
leans are now not only underselling us
here, but they are making their agen-
cies bases from which they are grad
ually reaching out into every country
in Europe. / know OF an immense

THE RACE IS A FREE-FOR-ALL
The Withdrawal of Cato Sells From
the GubernatOriaI Contest in
Town Leaves "a Clear Field.

Des Moines. Ia, Aug. 17.-Just be.
lore the Democratic state convention
opened its session in the Auditorium
here, Cato Sells, who had been the
most prominent figure in the race for
the nomination for governor. with.
drew his name and declined to remain
in the fight. Sells unexpected action
threw the forces of his rivals into un-
certainty and disorder, and the dele
gates went into the convention with.
out the suspicion of slate. and what
the outcome of the race for .be head of
the ticket will be is very much in
doubt. 1T was stated by many OF
Sells supporters that Frederick White.
who was the democratic nominee two
years ago, would receive the support
OF Sells forces. Sells withdrawal is
regarded by many of the party leaders
as proof of the absolute control of tho
Iowa state democracy by w. j. BRYAN.
sells free silver views have been seri-
ousiy questioned and he had apparent
~ made no efforts to place himself ir-
retrievably under the 10 to / banne,
Ii is estimated that he felt forced Ia
withdraw owing to his convictions
tfat without Bryan's support he could
not be nominated. When the convap.
ton assembled every county in the
state was represented by delegates
