Returning Volunteers Given q Hearty
Wo3o

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 10.-The SOL
diers Of the Thirteenth Minnesota regi-
ment were the guests Of Tacoma during
the afternoon and received a most en-
thusiastic reception. The regiment
arrived in two sections on a special
train and were greeted at the depot by
many thousands Of people. A parade
took place and the--local committee of
the national guard, together with tho
Tacoma military band, the .Delano drum
corps, and the local G.. A. R. acted as
escort to the visitors. A fine banquet
was served by the Red Cross society
and the soldiers were then taken in
charge by the citizens committee and
given the freedom Of the city. During
the afternoon they visited the many
points of interest in thissvicinity and on
all sides spoke highly Of the reception
accorded them. Many Of the officers
and men were guests of former Mime
sotans who now reside here. The regi-
ment left at O'clock for Spokane.

LONDON, Oct. 10. The scope Of Great
Britain's military preparations can
scarcely be grasped by the mere read
ing Of individual items as these appear
from day to day. A fair notion Of their
immensely can be gained from the semi
official statement that for the transports
Of the army corps abeut 20 ships Of
from {, 200 to 4, 900 tons burden are re-
quired, not including a score or more
Of transports already on the way to the
Cape If these vessels effectively dis
embark their cargoes Of men, horses
and equipment within FIVE weeks from
their date Of sailing, the programme
will have fulfilled the forecasts of the
most optimistic British military experts
Although the impending army corps
is a matter Of pre-eminent military in
terest, the troops already on the scene
Of the probable action constitute no in
significant body. The original Cape
garrison was 5000 men, and this has
been increased by 1900 There are r.
900 men atsea on the way to the Cape.
and their arrival will make the APP
proximate total of
British Troops in South Africa, 8
prior to the arrival of the army corps,
$4,000. These troops do not include the
irregular forces, the Cape Mounted
Rifles, the Port Elizabeth and Grahams-
stown volunteers, the Natal police, the
Durham light infantry, the Australian
force and the regular naval brigade.
The Cape squadron now includes 10
warships, all heavily manned, and the
British frst-class protected cruisers
Terrible and Powerful will soon arrive,
enabling the navy to land brigade Of
about 1000. e
Against this array are opposed the
Transvaal and it's ally, the Orange Free
State, with perhaps sprinkling of ma
tives. This is about all that can be
said regarding the Boer forces. They
are virtually non-regulars and attempts
to estimate their fighting strength are
hopeless, although various calculations
appear daily in the English newspapers,
ranging from 30, 900 to 1875, 900, the lat
ter figure being obviously very extrava-
CANT.

AN ELEMENT OF DANGER.
Alleged Brutal Treatment of Refugees
by the Beers.

by the Beers.
LONDON, Oct. 1870 far as the fact
goes, the commencement OF actual hos
tilities between Great Britain and the
Transvaal seems no nearer although it
must be admitted that a new element
of danger has arisen in the exaspera-
ton caused throughout the British col
onies in South Africa by the stories of
brutal treatment Of refugees by the
Beers. Whether these reports are cor
rect or not, the reports of outrages upon
women and children are having their
effect and are being accepted in many
quarters hitherto incredulous, as con-
frming the anticipations of the saw
agery that would follow the progress of
the war. The dispatches from the
front are mostly concerned with the
movement of troops. There are several
reports that the Beers are increasingly
restless under restraint and but imper-
feet provision made for their welfare.
It is said that they have threatened to
either raid or return to their homes.
President Kruger, however, appears to
have reiterated his order commanding
the exercise Of restraint. The British
and Beers are so close together along
the western frontier of the Transvaal
that their patrols meet nightly.
Every train load of refugees brings
narrowing accounts Of the barbarities
of the Beers Of the Orange Free State.
A train arrived during the day that had
been 81 hours en- route. The sufferings
of the women were dreadful. Several
births occurred on the way-one in an

GREAT CORN CROP.

United States Ready to Sell All the
. World Will Buy.
CHICAGO, Oct. l0.-"This years corn
crop will be the largest in our history"
said Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, who is in Chicago with the
presidential party, .'The total yield, it
is estimated will be 1900, 900, 900 to2,-
100000, 900 bushels. There will be plenty
for manufacturing and feeding, and }
will have all the corn to sell that any
body wants to buy. To what extent the
crop will be shipped abroad will depend
largely upon the price it will bring.
The high prices offered for meats will
incline the farmers to use their crop
for feeding purposes"

CONDITIONS ACCEPTED.

Negotiations For Peace Agreed to Be-
tween Venezuelan Combatants.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
cable from Captain Hemphill of the
Detroit:
"La Guayara, Oct. 7.-Detroit arrived
today. By the request and advice Of
United States minister I have brought
the government peace commissioner
from Porto Cabello so as to expedite the
pending negotiations for peace before
the expiration of the armistice. Castro
has accepted terms proposed and if
Venezuelan president will hold to them,
final settlement will be arranged Oct. 9
at Victoria. Terms of settlement have
not been ascertained, but a change of
administration is probable"

Jones said that he had been much ben
Gifted by his European travels and felt
ready to go into the hard work neces-
sary in getting ready for the presidential
campaign.
When asked his opinion as to the
probability of the Democratic .nomina-
ton going to w. j. Bryan, he said:
''There is no doubt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic nomination for
president" and added:
Says Bryan Is Sure to Win.
"Has anybody any doubt on that
question? Bryan is sure to WIN"
On the attitude of Richard Croker as
to the nomination of Bryan for presi-
dent, Senator Jones had little to say,
merely replying to direct question::
"Croker is already in line"
AS to the possible outcome of the ma
tional campaign of 1900 Senator Jones
said he believed that the free silver
idea would have a greater following
than in the campaign Of 1896.
''In 1885," he said, ''there were many
Republicans and others who believed
that when the Republican party de-
clared for bimetallism, the declaration
was made in all sincerity. These same
men now doubt the sincerity Of that
plank Of the Republican platform"
Prosperity Not General
When asked what effect he thought
the apparent prosperity in the Western
states would have on Democratic issues,
Senator Jones said:
eyes, I know they say at Washing
ton that the country is in highly
prosperous condition and perhaps that
is correct from certain standpoints.
But cannot see that there is any great
material prosperity among the agricul-
tural and similar classes. It does not
appear to have affected the farmer, nor
has it done much as yet for the labor
ing man in general. Cotton and wheat
have not made any advance to speak Of
in price. That argument can readily
be answered when the time comes. Of
course there has been an increase in the
output Of gold and that is bound to af-
feet politics in some degree greater or

arguments advanced by US in 1896, that
what the country needed was a greater
volume of money in circulation"
?. Outlines the Next Platform.
The Democratic platform, he de-
clared would be launched in 1900 on
comparati ;;ely the same basis and con.
tain essentially the same planks as in
1895. The party would declare for free
silver at the same ratio, and he thought
about the only addition to or change in
the party platform Of any moment
would be a plank relative to anti-im-
perialism. That, he asserted, would
undoubtedly be one of the important
issues in the campaign. He refused to
discus the matter any more than to say
with a wave Of the hand: Everybody
knows what imperialism means. The
question under discussion means just
the reverse"
Senator Jones said he did not know
how long he would remain in New
York. His plans are still uniformed.
He said, however, he might go to
Washington on Tuesday on business
matters

along the peninsula from Cavite to
Novelta. The only way was by a mar

The marines waded through more

was $1S56.
1t was testified TO on behalf OF the
plaintiffs that in the fall of 1895 the de-

and gave the firm his own notes. The
bills were made out to Mrs. Seabury.
Investigations set on foot by the plain
tffs, it was claimed, showed that Dr.
Seabury obtained the furniture under
false representations and with the in
tention of defraudinS the plaintiffs, and
it was further urged TO sustain the
charge that the defendant had not a
fair intent towards the plaintiffs, that
about the same time he took big
