London. June 1O.-It is not improbable
that the crisis in the Transvaal will
be FASTENED today by some untoward
incident at johannesburg. Mr.. J. B.
Robinson. the South African million
aire and mine owner, received tele-
gram from his agent at johannesburg,
saying that the situation there is most
serious. The agent added that a mass
meeting OF Uuitlanders Will be held to-
day in order to confirm and support the
proposals OF the British High Commits
sioner Sir Alfred Miner. AS open air
meetings are not allowed without per-
mission, it is not improbable If the
necessary permission is not obtained
that the police will endeavor TO stop
the meetings.
The consensus of opinion among
prominent Uitlanders and South Afri-
can capitalists i'm London is that the
British government is in a tight fix.
and that If President Kruger does not
recede war is inevitable.
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States be asked to mediate be-
tween the Transvaal and Great Britain.
Mr. -Joseph- -ehoate. the United States
ambassador says:
While every good American would
welcome the possibility Of helping a
solution of the present situation, we
have not been approached in the mat
ter and i personally. know nothing of
the proposed mediation by America"
An official of the foreign office i'm

The Associated Press says
I'VE have not approached America,

tries"

rom the fbilautI PIMA Zines.
Assistant Engineer Allen Of the American
lire steamer Waesland. which arrived at
her dock yesterday from Liverpool, brought
with him a rather peculiar story, an ex-
perience which befei him in that city just
previous to the sailing day of the voyage
just completed. The incidents related by
the engineer on the voyage across were of
such an unusual nature that he was forced
to tell them again and again. and the truth
of the story is vouched for by all the Off
GERS of IN vessel. including Capt. Ehcff.
Mr.. AI.en has a pretty little house in
Liverpool, situated about one mile from the
docks, where his wife and child live. On
his return from the trip preceding the pres
ent one he found to his establishment that
the house had been abandoned.
My first thought. Of course said Mr.
Allen. was OF my family. and l lost no
time searching for them. My wife | found
IN my mothers house, where she had been
living for three weeks. Her explanation for
leaving our own house was singular. She
said that she had been driven out of it by
an army of cats. The cats OF the Liverpool
docks are terrors. They are as big and
strong tiger cubs. While / had my
doubts, an investigation of the premises
showed my wife's story to be perfectly cor
rect. They actually drove me out. When
| opened the door of the sitting room | was
confronted by at least fifty of them. and
savageness is no namSffor the nature of
the attack they mads~on me.

at having my home broken up in this fash

Ger, at the gangway.
Bill said, lend me your revolver
Fowler sized me up and replaced the
gun, which he had made a pass for. in his
pocket He thought l intended to commit
suicide and backed away from M as
though l was maniac.
That was only a sample of the troubles
mad IN my crusade against the intruding
fellnes. Not TO be deferred, however. l
bought two pistols and went for them
r1ght. By a hasty calculation, / shot about
thirty of them. and after two hours hard
work put them to flight in disorder Sub
sequently l found a broken pane of glass
in the back kitchen window, through which
they had entered But you ought tor have
seen the condition of the house. The beasts
had torn up everything and ripped the
carpet off the floor. Ii cost me money to
fix that place up again, and any amount of
persuasion to induce my wife to live in it.
THE worst of all about this is that when
l reported the matter to the police / was
promptly arrested for cruelty to animals
Would you believe il? They kept me in
Jail for day until / established proof that
| was not killing the animals for mere pas
time Don't talk any more cats to me-"
concluded Mr.. Allen, making a vicious pass
at the Waesland'S pet tabhy which at that
moment ran between his legs. They never
were any good, but when it comes to break
ing a mans home up, it is the last straw"

Of ordnance, United States army, die| very
suddenly yesterday afternoon at the Hotel
Strstford, where she resided. Mrs. Magma
der, up to a moment before her death, was
apparently in the best of health and spirits.
She had been talking for some time with a
friend. and about o'clock laid her head
against the back of her chair, as though
she was tired. In this position, and before
her friend noticed it, she passed away
without q groan or struggle. Her death is
attributed to wearing out of her physical
powers, as she was more than eighty eight
years old.
Mrs Maynadier was a lifelong member of
Epiphany parish, and was also identified
