PRAYED FOR PEACE.
Pan-Presbyterian Alliance Outlets Politics
by Divine Supplication.

~ DASiue ouPpiiCaliohs
Washington. Oct. A split on po-
utlcal lines was narrowly averted in
the meeting of the Pan-Presbyterian al
lance to-day. The trouble grew out of
a resolution yesterday favoring arbi-
tration as solution of the difficulty
between Great Britain and the Trans
wall Objection to this resolution was
raised on the ground that arbitration
was out of place between a sovereign
state and one of its dependencies.
There are two South African dele
gates to the meeting, Rev. c. P. j.
Meiring of Johannesburg and Rev. H.
S. Bosnian of Pretoria.
Mr.. Bosnian left here on Monday for
Africa in response to a cablegram beg
ging him to come back to his people
because of the threatening war out
look. DR.. Meiring, soon after the ses-
sion opened this morning, presented a
letter to the chairman of the meeting.
This was referred without reading to
the business committee. Though it's
contents were not made public, 1t was
soon known that it was a request from
the Boer member to have his name
stricken from the rolls as an evidence
of his displeasure at the slight put
upon his country At the afternoon SEES
sion. however, an adjustment was
reached. DR.. Meiring was induced to
withdraw his letter OF resignation and
the chairman presented the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
I'm view of the present distressing
situation between Great Britain and
the Transvaal 1t is the earnest hope
and prayer of this alliance that 8
peaceful solution of the present crisis
may be reached"
Upon the adoption of this resolution
it was moved that a prayer should be
offered for the contamination of this
much desired event. The chairman
therefore called upon the venerable DR.
Cavan. 1.-The father of the alliance
who offered simple, heartfelt prayer
for peace.
Aside from the political furry caused
by the action of DR.. Meiring there was
little of interest in the days session
1t was decided to establish permanent
office of the alliance in London. Re
ports We're heard on the mission work
in Europe and South Africa. DR.. Mat
thews, in presenting the European re-
ports, declared that there had been
large Withdrawals Of both priests and
members from the Roman Catholic
church in France and Austria.

fish of the steam whaler Beluga, who
has Just returned from the Arctic, re-
ports that some kind of disease like
quick consumption is epidemic among
the Indians. At Point Barrow, be-
tween Aug, IA and Sept. I, there were
10 deaths, and at Cape Bathurst three
natives died during the few hours the
Beluga. was anchored there. The In
dians are scared so badly that as soon
as one of them is taken sick he imme-
diately begins preparations for death.

TERROR OF THE OUTLANDERS.
All the Male Population of
Transvnal Called to Arms.

IIdHSNhiI Sdllcu 10 ATlhs.
London, Oct. 5.-The Daily Telegraph
correspondent at New Castle, Natal
sends to his paper a similar message
to that sent by the correspondent of
the Daily Chronicle. He says he is
sure that half of the Beers will offer
serious resistance to the British troops
1.-The Free State" he says, has made
no preparations and it is doubtful if it
can put 1000 men in the field at pres
emit. Thousands of the outlanders are
unable to leave the Transvaal and
them have Joined the Beers as the
best means of escaping. Johannesburg
can offer no serious defense if attack
ed and Pretoria, despite it's five forts,
is hopelessly weak. Practically the
whole Boer population has been called
to arms and the result has been a
strangely armed and CARRIED guerrilla
mob of 10000 or therea bouts. 1t is de-
clared that the defective German cart
ridge cases have all been recalled and
fresh ammunition made in America is
being substituted
Last Friday the Boer government
arrived at the conclusion that the real
danger of British attack lies on the
Natal side and thousands of men who
had been sent in the direction of Del
agoa bay and Rhodesia We're recalled
and dispatched toward Standerton. I
am satisfied that General Joubert has
$1,000 men between Standerton and
Volksrust and am positive that he will
invade Natal with that strength. Ger
tainly serious and bloody actions are
impending as soon as the Beers have
recovered from the fatigue of travel.
There Is no doubt, however, that the
women and children will be we'll treat
ed. as will also probably unmarked

night before the West End Athletic club
between Casper Leon of New York and
Steve Flanagan of Philadelphia for the
bantamweight championship of America
resulted in draw. The fighting through
out was hard and frequently assumed a
vicious turn. Flanagan had much the

after that the tide of battle changed in

from a scientific standpoint was all that
could be wished up to the 18th round, but
in their eagerness to score a knockout
In the last roundd, science was relegated
to the background, and 1t was bff, bang,
with considerable blood letting so far as
Flanagan was concerned.
In the 18th round Leon landed a terrific
right swing on Flanagans forehead,
splitting the cuticle and bringing the
blood in a stream. At long range fight
ing both boys showed great cleverness,
Invariably getting inside of each others

DEWEY CALLS ON M'KINLEY.

Navy Department Safe.

lie deposits the Beautiful sword in q
Navy Department Safe.
Washington. Oct Admiral Dewey
went to the navy department early to-
day and had a talk with Secretary
Long over the plans for his immediate
future. The secretary promptly in
formed Dewey that the department was
willing to give him perfect liberty to do
as he pleased. The admiral was there
fore, at his instance, detached formally
from the Olympia after this date. He
will telegraph the executive officer at
Tompkinsville to haul down his flag
to-day, and this will terminate
his connection with the cruiser which,
for more than two years, has been his
home.
In accordance with the projects al
ready planned, the admiral will go to
Vermont Monday as the guest of W..
Seward Webb. near Burlington. Later
in the day the admiral called on the
president to discuss the Philippine sit
uat.on.
Captain Lamberton of the Olympia
also called upon the president by ap-
pointment and remained some time
The captain went to New York this
afternoon and from there will go to
Boston, where he will put the Olympia
out of commission. He will then take
short rest preparatory to any as
signment which the navy department
may give him. ~
One purpose which induced the visit
of Admiral Dewey to the navy depart
ment was to arrange for the safe keep
ing of the magnificent sword presented
to him yesterday. Following him to the
navy department was his Chinese serv.
ant, All Soong, bearing the sword In It's
oaken case. The admiral carried this
into the room of the superintendent OF
the building, Commodore Baird, his ole
personal friend, and the latter placed
the gift in his big safe. The detachine
of Admiral Dewey from the Olympia
had the effect of detaching Lieutenant
Brumby, his flag lieutenant, and Lieu
tenant Caldwell, the admirafs secre
tary, from the duties they have hereto
fore performed for him. An order was
issued, however, directing those officer;
to report to the admiral in connection
with his shore duties. This is only tenn
porary to allow the admiral to catch w
with the mass of correspondence.
Admiral Dewey was the guest of Mrs
Washington Mclean at dinner tonight
the admiral driving out to her country
residence shortly after O'Clock.

His Lawyers Have Begun Habsas
Corpus Proceedings.
IN THE CIVIL COURTS
1t Is Claimed That the Court Martial
Exceeded Its Powers--The Conten-
ton Strenuously Denied BY
Governments Counsel

New York, Oct. 4.-Oberlin NJ Carter,
the former engineering captain, who is
under sentence of five years imprison-
ment after conviction on charge Of

judge advocate generals office and
General Burkett, United States district
attorney.
Captain Carter was represented by
Abraham Rose and Judge Kellogg. Mr..
Rose, in opening for his client, said
there was no contention that the court
martial which had tried the charges
against Carter had acted illegally on
its findings on the charges. In the sem
tence, however, it was claimed that the
court had acted in excess and beyond
it's Jurisdiction and contrary to law
Colonel Clous, in reply, held that the
action of a court martial cannot be re-
viewed by any civil court. He added
that the court martial had power to fix
the sentence and that in the exercise
of such power the court had power I'M
der the first charge to impose a fine
upon Captain Carter, under the second
charge to sentence him to imprison-
ment under the third charge to dismiss
him from the army and under the
fourth charge to impose sentence Of
fine or Imprisonment or both. Counsel
submitted briefs.
Judge Lacombe reserved decision on
the writ and ordered Captain Carter
back to the custody of Captain Roberts
of Governors island.
