MAY SUE FOR PEACE.
Beers Honorable Foes, We'll Worthy of
English Metal.

English Metal.
London, Oct 22-There is no longer
any apprehension of the expected in
it1al success Of the Beers. The two
victories already gained by the British
must have completely disheartened
them for the idea they gained through
the Majuba affair, and, looking to the
statements already circulated that
President Kruger himself was opposed
to sending the ultimatum, there is some
speculation that the Beers may now sue
for peace. At least it is considered
that all fears of a Dutch rising in the
British colonies may be set aside.
Much admiration has been excited
by the bravery shown by the Beers.
The Times says: They are honor
able foes and well worthy of our metal.
Their sterling qualities ought to do
much to facilitate the ultimate pacifica-
ton of South Africa. That is now the
real end Of the war. We have to set
tie once for all the question of British
supremacy and to Danish forever the
phantom Of an Afrikander nation
The Daily News, on the contrary,
says: 1T is not at all likely that the
two victories portend a speedy end of
the war The Beers will fight on and
ried forward. The appalling loss Of
officers and men we have sustained
shows clearly that we have stiff work
before us. The army corps will have
ample work to do.
The second British victory that at
Flandslaagte, in which the British
losses, though heavy, were not out Of
proportion to it's Importance. may be
regarded as having completely demon
allied the well-laid, but ineffectively
executed. plans of the Beers. In the
opinion of military critics 1t will tend
to bring the war to a speedy conclu-
sion"
General White, it is hoped, may have
been able by this time to relieve Ma
jor Yule at Glencoe, thus enabling him
to deal with General Jouberts column,
as General Symons and General French
have already done with the others.
There is still to be guarded against
a possible raid from the Drakenburg
range by Free State troops or from
Vryheid through Zululand The Ert-
ish plan will. therefore, to a great ex-
tent, be on the defensive as Sir George
White has an extended front, threat

I PANIC AT vRYBURG.
The English Have Abandoned the Town
to the Beers,

Vryburg, Oct, Is. delayed in trans
mission).-There is a great panic here
this morning. The place has not yet
been attacked, but number of Dutch
who had been here for nachtmaal fed
last night in pitiful state of fear, de-
claring that an attack was imminent
All wires to the south have been cut
for a distance of 20 miles. The loyal
lists are bitterly complaining that the
government has not even Instructed
the inhabitants as to the attitude which
they ought to assume in the event of a
Boer invasion.
The British president has received a
dispatch to the effect that the premier.
Mr.. Schreiner, had advised that the
women and children should be sent
away, but before it arrived the last en-
CINE had gone to Kimberley.
The town appears woefully divided
in opinion, but the police and volun-
teers are preparing for a. defense. A
deputation has gone to parley with the
Beers, and a meeting has been held
to urge the police to abandon their re-
sistance.
Later-At o'clock this afternoon the
magistrate announced to large crowd
of farmers that the police had decided
to retire; that the volunteers would be
disbanded. and that anyone choosing
to accompany the police might do so.
Immediately on these refugees retir-

notify the Beers, who are expected to
enter the town tomorrow.
Major Scott then addressed the police
and volunteers, and after explaining
the situation asked those willing to re-
main and fight to step forward. Six
men responded to his appeal. The po-
lice expressed an opinion that while all
We're willing to fight, they had no
chance against artillery.
Major Scott informed the magistrate
of this and the police rode out of town,
following the exodus of townspeople,
who We're mostly English.
When I left the people We're fleeing
west, north and south on foot, on
horseback and in vehicles. 1 gathered
that the invaders had guaranteed pro-
lection and good treatment to the in
habitants who remained.
Just before leaving I heard that loot
ing had been begun, but special con-
stables were being enrolled to maintain
order. Two Boer contingents were then
advancing, one from Brussels, and an
other from Maribogo, with seven nine

Undesirable Characters Will Not
Be Allowed Here.
sOMEARE COMING TOTOWN
Will Swarm the City on Tuesday When
the Volunteers Return--Anaconda
No Place for Them-what
Chief White Says.

Instructions were issued to the police
force yesterday by Chief of Police Jack
White to begin wholesale roundup
of the tough characters who will be in
Testing the city within the next several
days. The instructions given yesterday
We're to accost every suspicious person
and demand their occupation. If a
satisfactory accounting can be given
the men are to be let alone; otherwise
they are to be arrested and made to
leave town or go to Jail.
This act on the part of Chief White
is taken owing to the arrival of the
volunteers in this city on Tuesday. A
large crowd will accompany them from
Butte, and among the crowd there will
be large number of undesirable char
acters. 1t is to rid the city of this
class of people that the above instruc-
day.
I'VE won't give them any chance to
settle down in Anaconda" said Chief
White yesterday. "They will come into
town when the boys get here and they
expect that we will be SO busy that
we won't have time to take care Of
them, but they'll find that we will be
for their money.
anaconda is no place for toughs
and if they want to live by stealing
and begging they will have to go else
where. Last winter there was a crowd
of hoboes who came to Anaconda ex-
pecting to make their home, but we soon
got them out of here.
ION Tuesday the officers will spot out
the toughs, and if they don't give a
satisfactory answer they will have to
leave town or go under the clock. We
will have several constables on Tues
day and they will be on the lookout
for hoboes."
