M. ripple, and his wife This is MT. Triples third year among them as their pastor, and the informal reception was rendered him as slight means of showing their ap- preciation of his being returned to them flor another year.
 It was uncertain for a time as to whether or not he would be reappointed as pastor of Epworth church, as he was the recipient of flattering call from a large Methodist church in Mamaroneck It was with much reoicing, therefore, that his congregation heard that he had been reappointed for another year. At the reception last evening both MT. and Mrs. Tipple were the recipients of nu- merous warm handshakes and congrat- Nlations.

THOSE PETITIONS answered.
Taking Sides With Either Nation
Not to be Thought Of
AMERICA CANNOT INTERFERE,

Washington, Oct. 14.-Thc following
statement has been issued by the State
department: "Thc president has re-
ceivcd n large number of petitions
signed by many citizens of distinction,
requesting him to tender the mediation
of the United States to settle the differ
ences existing between the government
of Great Britain and that of the Trans
vaal. He has received other petitions
on the same subject, some of them de-
string him to make common cause with
Great Britain to redress the wrongs
alleged to have been suffered by the
Outlanders and especially by American
citizens in the Transvaal and others
wishing him to assist the Beers against
alleged aggression.
1t is understood that the president
does not think it expedient to take ac-
ton in any of these directions. AS to
taking sides with either party to the
dispute it is not to be thought of. AS
to mediation, the president has re-
revived no intimation from either of the
countries that the mediation of the
United States would be accepted and
i'm the absence of such intimation from
both parties, there is nothing in the
rules of international usage to justify
an offer of mediation in the present
circumstances. 1t is known that the
president sincerely hopes and desires
that hostilitics may be avoided; but if,
unfortunately, they should como to
pass, the efforts of this government
will be dirccted-as they are at pres
ent--to seeing that neither our nation
al interests nor those of our citizens
shall suffer unnecessary injury"

IN Minneapolis.
He Spoke Where He Presided When
Harrison Was Nominated.
NOW IN CONGRESS- HANDS.

Minneapolis, Oct. 1.-THE president
and his party were driven to the ex-
position building directly after having
reviewed the long parade from the re-
viewing stand. About the platform in
front of the building where Gen. Har-
rison was named for president of the
United States by convention presided
over by William Mckinley, were mass
ed the returned volunteers. Behind
them was crowd whose numbers
could scarcely be estimated.
In his speech the president related
the history of the acquisitions OF terri
tory since the formation of the govern
.ment; the opposition which was en-
countered Mt each and all of those
events, and the resulting benefits which
had accrued to the nation; closing with
the following:
"The future of these new possessions
Is in the keeping of congress, and con-
gress is the servant of the people. That
they will be retained under the benign
sovereignty of the United States l do
not permit myself to doubt. That they
will prove rich and invaluable heri-
tage feel assured. That congress will
provide for them government which
will bring them blessings, which will
promote their material interests as well
as advance their people in the path OF
civilization, confidently believe. They
will not be governed as vassals or serfs
or slaves-they will be given govern
ment of liberty, regulated by law,
honestly administered, without OPP
pressing or exacting; taxation without
tyranny, justice without bride; educa-
ton without distinction of social con-
ditions; freedom of religious worship
and protection of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"

the mail was welcome visitor.
The citizens committee sent aboard
n hundred cases of fruit, which the SOL
dicrs made short work of. The laden
of the Kansas delegation pinned n
large sunfower badge on the breast OF
every soldier.
The regimcntal colors, little the
worse for wear, in spite of the arduou'l
campaign through which they passed,
called forth n tremendous burst of APP
plausc whenever they We're sighted.
While the soldiers waited for the Or
der to march the ladies of the citizens
committee went among them and
placed large bouquet in the muzzle OF
every rifle. General Funston reported
by wire to the War department for or
ders and said he should keep his mind
free from all care till he hears from
Washington.
The soldiers are delighted with the
arrangement for their transportation
home and the reception at Topeka.
They crowded around the correspond.

sENGLAN DIS PATIENCE.
Diplomatic Stage Is Passcd--war Must
Determine the Issue.

Determine the Issue.
London, Oct 13.-Mr. Balfour, adj
dressing the Unionists of Haddington
said:
''Thc crisis in South Africa has now
reached the stage where diplomacy is
put aside, argument ceases to make fur
Their place, and appeal is made to arms.
Peace and that good will among men
which it is our first business to culti-
yate in all of Great Britain's vast pos
sessions has been wantonly and gratui-
ta.isly imperilled by the rash policy OF
tie Boer government.
"A great change has taken place in
the past three months in the opinion Of
this country regarding our South Afri'
can policy. There was not then the
clear conviction which now exists re-
spccting the true merits of the case
which is now to be decided by the arbi.
tratement of force, but the more the
public has known of what the govern
ment has done and what they aimed at
the more they have come around to the
view that the government, if they have
erred at all, have erred on the side OF
patience.
"Now that the prospects of peace are
finally destroyed, now that war with
all its consequences, all its loss of life,
all its destruction of property, all its
suffering, is on us, we can say we never
asked anything but justice, never des;r'
cd anything but freedom, all we longed
for was equality under the Transvaal
republic toward men of our race and
speech, which we freely give to men OF
the Dutch race and speech in the neigh
boring colonies, and if they think it
worth while to imperil their future in
order to refuse these rights, at all
events the blame rests on them and not
on us"

A city slides Down Hill.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 1.-THE startling
fact has become evident that for sever
al weeks large portion of the city of
Butte has been sliding down hill. The
evidence of it is seen on a number of
large buildings and residences, includ-
ing the county court house and the re-
sidence of United States Senator w. A.
Clark, which have been cracked and
assured. Biologists express the opin-
ion that the buildings damaged are
located on a seam of rock or earth
along which clesvagei is taking place

In n Stnte of War,

London, Oct. 13.-The London press
is full of supposition, and discounting
of news, which, altogether does not
amount to much.
Lord Roseberry voices the prevailing
sentiment in this: 1T is needless to
discuss how we could best have attain
ed our simple and reasonable object of
rescuing our fellow countrymen in
the Transvaal from intolerable condi'
tions of subsection and injustice, and
of securing equal rights for the white
races in South Africa; for an ultimatum
has been addressed to Great Britain by
the South African republic, which is
itself declaration of war.
SIN the face of this attack upon the
nation the people will undoubtedly
close their ranks and relegate party
controversies to a more convenient sea

How The Continent Feels.

London, Oct. 14.-There is no abate
ment in the anti-English feeling on
the continent. The Times Berlin cor,
respondent declares that the German
nation as whole is unfriendly to Eng
land and that there would be rejoicing
on all sides if England should suffer
disaster or decentralization, just as PEG.
pie were ready to rejoice had America
suffered defeat at the hands of Spain.
Advices from Vienna report that at an
anti-Semitic meeting there Burgomas
ter Leuger included both the United
States and England in the charge OF
ruthlessness and thirst for gold, es
pecially criticising America in hel
economic dealings with Europe. Her,
Leugcr in the course of his speech,

No Odd Fellows Home Yet.

Wichita, Oct. 13.-Thc question of an
Odd Fellows home came up in the shape
of a resolution to postpone the purchase
of home until such time as the grand
lodge had money in its treasury for
that purpose. 1t also provided for a
per capita tax to be levied for that pur-
pose. After considerable discussion the
resolution was adopted.
The committee appointed three years
ago to visit the different sites offered
for home. and report its recommended

charged from further service, the grand
lodge by its action thus indefinitely
postponing the purchase of home.
