Impatient at Delay.

London, Sept. 23.-The sands are run
ming out. but all too slowly for the jingo
party. The Morning Post editorially warns
the government that it runs a two fold
risk by its renewed patience, first of ex-
hausting the patience of the loyalists in
South Africa: second of its supporters
at home. who are not too enthusiastic
over its previous dealings with imperial
questions.
The Chronicle bluntly tells the govern
ment that Their proceedings are undig-
nified,' adding: ''Ihe fact remains that
Kruger has been given mother period of
grace, thanks, primarily, to the fact thai
we are not yet prepared for war, but
also probably to ~Salisbury's moderating
influence on Chamberlain's impetuosity.''
1t is asserted at Capetown tina the
combined Transvaal and Orange Free
State tactics are to prevent a British ad-
vance from the Natal border and assume
the offensive against British territory
from along the unprotected Orange river
border. kruger's hope is thus to match
a victory as in 81, and secure easy terms
of peace.
An interesting note in connection with
the attitude of the Afrikanders is that
Secretary OF State Reitz is Premier
Schreiner's brother-in-law.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-1n railroad circles here
a. general western rate war is regarded as
imminent. James Carlton, general passen-
ger agent of the Alton road, today noti-
fled the chairman of the Western Passen-
ger association that his road would meet
all cuts of competitors over it's own coun-
ters.
The Western immigration bureau, which
has Wrestled with the question of COM
peting with the Canadian Pacific in immi-
grant traffic, has declared that no sat
isfactory arrangement can be made with
the Canadian road.
Successful competition has been handi-
capped, it is asserted, by the Southern
Pacific, which has demanded it's full pro-
portion of the traffic rate west of Ogden.
1t has been decided that if this road does
not recede from it's position tickets shall
be routed west of Ogden via the Oregon
Short Line and Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton company to Portland and from there
to San Francisco by boat, or over the

Cuban Railroads.

New York, Sept. 23.-General A. G..
Greenwood, who has just returned from,
Cuba has the following to say of Cuban
railroads.:
Within a very short time the construc-
ton of a railroad will probably be begun
which will make every point of import
ance in Cuba easy of access. We have
the right of way, we have the concessions
and best of all, we have the money. 1t
Is our purpose to have a main line
through the islands and to do this we
must build a road from Santa Clara to
Santiago de Cuba. a distance of about
400 miles. Then we will build branches
to the main line from every port on the
north and south side of the island. This
means the building of more han $50 miles
of Dad at a cost of at least $25, 600, 900.
Londo and Boston capitalists have fl
naced the undertaking. The surveys
have been made n all that is necessary
to permit the commencement of the work
o construction is the repeal Of the For

son to believe Will be repealed in the early

upon the premier to hold these in check.
The departure of more officers for the

ter that Great Britain is to take Della
goa bay are the only developments in
the Transvaal situation his morning.
The cabinet ministers have left town.
Their action yesterday evening evokes

The expectation that the meeting would

In spite of the Portuguese minister's de-

Britain will lease Delagoa bay.
