Krueger's Men.

London, Oct. 13.-When the cabinet
meets at noon today it is evident the
Boer advance will be in full swing.
Judging from present appearance, the
Beers are preparing for a simultaneous
invasion at five separate points
Laing's Mex, Kimberley, vryburg,
Mafeking and Lobatsi Therefore it is
almost impossible to guess the plan of
campaign.
In reply to the formal inquiry of Sir
Alfred Miner, governor of Cape Colony
and British high commissioner in
South Africa, President Steyn of the
orange Free State announces that the
state Will make common cause with the
Transvaal
The home preparations for war are
growing apace
The reservists are responding more
actively to the proclamation for their
mobilization, and the government has
engaged more transports. In military
circles no apprehension is felt at any of
the movements yet reported on the part
Of the Beers, and it is not believed they
will make any serious attack, prefer
ring to wait.

shows no shot has yet been fired. The
evacuated district between Charlestown
and New Castle has an area of $50
square miles and consists chiefly of
billy moorland sparsely populated.
At dispatch from Durham, dated 8
o'clock Friday morning, announces that
the Beers seized Albertina station and
demanded the keys, which were deliv-
cred to them by the station master,
who reached Ladyesmith on trolley.

ROUSED THE POLICE.
Dominick Ralph Broke a
Stove and a Murder
Was Reported.

Dominick Ralph, a building mover
with a long police record, became the
possessor of a large-sized jag last night
about IL o'clock, and this morning, an
hour later, he had the entire police
department on an edge, and it all hap
pened because he insisted on breaking
stove
This morning about 1 o'clock, with
nothing to disturb the Quietude of sta
ton other than an occasional snore
from the dormitory, a telephone mes
sage came into the office that a girl
had shot her mother on Grafton street.
Immediately everybody in sight COM
menced to move towards Grafton
street.
When they got to the corner of Graf
ton and Temple streets they were
greeted by sounds of boards being
smashed. Officers Williams and AL
fred Harper made a flank movement
on the house from which the sounds
came, and were about to break in when
Dominick appeared in the doorway
smoking a pipe. His wife appeared
next, and she explained that her hus-
band, in looking for his spectacles, fell
over a bed, and, not feeling in the
proper mood Immediately began to
break the household furniture, start
ing in on the stove She would not
agree to appear against her husband
IL the police arrested him, and on her
declaration every one departed, leav-
ing Dominick sitting on the front stoop
smoking his pipe.
How the report about the shooting
started, is a mystery to the police, and
all that is known about it came over
the telephone to station this morning.
When the police arrived on the scene,
the sender of the telephone message was
nowhere in sight and if he meant it for
a joke, things look bad for him if the
police discover his identity.

THE ADMIRAL'S SALUTE
DELEGATES REPORT.
A Record of the National Convention
Given to the Plumbers Union.

A Record of the National Convention
Given to the Plumbers Union.
The Plumbers Union met last even
ing at labor headquarters and listened
to the reports of it's delegates to the
recent national convention held in Pc
oria, Ill. President Thomas f. Harvey
and j. H. Connolly reported the doings
of the convention. The national body
has increased 5000 since the last con-
vention. 1t was decided to appropri-
ate $4,000 for the strike fund Of the local
in Scranton, $4,000 for the fund of the
local in Los Angeles, and $4,000 for the
local in Butte City. 1t was also voted
that in the future all locals on strike
be allowed the maximum amount of
$4,000 from the strike fund of the ma
tional treasury.
The makeup of the national body
differs greatly from the local unions,
all the steamhtters and their helpers,
gas filters and their helpers, are iden-
titled with the plumbers in the national
body. and it was the sense of the con-
vention that all the craftsmen in the
various cities be merged into locals
composed of steamfitters, gas filters,
their helpers and the plumbers, there
by greatly strengthening the locals.

ON THE NATAL BORDER.
Acts OF War Committed and the Cam
paien BEGINS.

Acts OF War Committed and the Cam
paien Begins.
London, Oct. 12.-This mornings dis
patches furnished ample details of the
situation on the frontier and enabled
: a clearer exposition of the military sta
tus. 1t would seem that the Beers in
tend to act in two columns, those from
the Transvaal working from the north
and those from the Orange Free State
working from the west. with the OBJ
ject of keeping the British forces at
Ladysmith and Dundee occupied, while
parties of Beers slip past and destroy
the bridges along the railway forming
the line Of communication to the north
ern border at Durham, Natal, the adj
vanced base at Pietermaritzburg and
the front
1t is regarded as possible that the
Beers will attempt to occupy Estcourt,
where there are only 100 men of the
naval brigade, and the news that the
Beers are raiding Zululand, in the
neighborhood of Eshowe, is taken as
confirmation of this possibility.
Official confirmation of the announce
ment that the Orange Free State bur-
ghers have entered Natal by way Of
Van Reeman's pass is at hand. 1t
leaves no further room for doubt that
acts of war have already been commit
ted and that the campaign has begun.
However, it Is still suspected that the
entire Boer concentration on the
frontiers of Natal may be merely an
elaborate feint, to draw off attention
from Mafeking, which many experts re-
gard as the real objective of the Beers.
a successful dash there would give the
Beers great prestige with the disaffect-
ed Afrilanders in Cape Colony.
Hiram Stevens Maxim, chief engineer
and director of the Maxim Norden-
feldts Gun and Ammunition Company,
limited, in the course of an interview,
today, said: $50 far as am aware. the
Beers possess 80 MaXiras, but the Brit
ish need not fear the Boer artillery,
which has always proved a source Of
weakness, rather than strength to the
burghers. ;" After warmly approving
armored trains and pointing out how
useful they had been to the Americans
in the Philippines, he went on to say:
4 THE Beers remind me of the people
a of the southern states of the American
union. Thy are excellent marksmen
and as good fighters as can be found
anywhere in the world. However. none
ever fought better than the southern
ers, and yet they lost. Just SO will Eng
land vanquish the Beers. If you want
to know what the English-speaking
races can do, look across the Atlantic
and see what America has done"
