REFUGEES FROM THE TRANSvAAL.

for Pietermaritzburg.
CAPE TOWN. Sept. 5.-Arrangements are
being completed for safeguarding the tele-
graphic communication with the Cape in
case of war between Great Britain and the
Transvaal.
Refugees to the number of 1E have ar
rived here.
A million cartridges have been forwarded
to Pietermaritzburg capital of the British
territory of Natal.
Many Dutch farmers are leaving Bechu-
analand for the purpose of forming a laager
across the frontier.
1t is reported that j. H. Hofmeyer, the
Afrikander leader, has telegraphed Presi-
dent Kruger that he cannot expect help
from the Cape Colony in the event of hos
tilities.
A detachment of thirty Cape police has
been ordered from King Williamstown to
Mafeking, which is in a rather unprotected
condition.
The excitement in Cape Town is at fever
heat. Every edition of the papers is eager
ly snapped up, the general feeling being that
war is not far distant. 1t is impossible,
however, to ignore the existence of sharp
divisions among the colonists for and
against the Transvaal
The newspapers protest vigorously against
delay. The Cape Town Times considers
that the best way to effect a settlement is
by the presence OF an army corps. The
Cape Argus urges the imperial government
to impart different tone into the negotia-
tions, since 1t Is evident that President
Kruger's only object now is to gain time.
The latest information is that owing to
the pressure brought to bear by leading
Afrikanders here the Transvaal government
will probably agree to the proposed confer
ence. Official reports are being received
showing that the natives in the colony and
the various territories are restless.

The Explorer Tells Englishmen ts
Trust Joseph Cha mberlain.

LONDON. Sept. Sir Henry NJ. Stanley,
the African explorer. has written letter
to a friend on the Transvaal situation in
which he declares that the only sensible
course for Englishmen TO take is to trust
in Joseph Chamberlain. the secretary of
state for the colonies. who is now on trial
before the nation and world. IT." Sir
Henry writes, these complications and
wearisome iterations and unceasing repeti-
tions will not soon terminate they must
pass TO the next government and Mr.. Cham
berlain will then have proved no better
than the mediocrities who make Kruger
ism possible The British nation is also on
trial before the world and if We shrink from
compelling that irascible old man in the
Transvaal to deal justly with our country
men, we shall sink below zero in the esti-
nation of the world and the decline of our
influence and authority in South Africa
will be fastened"

AT one of the best dry goods houses
on Broadway | was shown the two
models which we illustrate this week.
AS they We're dainty and not too eXpen-
siVe and elaborate, | had them drawn
for your benefit. But after all, my
heart was drawn to the lovely example
of the lace tea gown mounted over chif-
fon. This is one of the features of the
season. You can put it on at 3 o'clock
and remain in il for dinner, and still
feel one of the best dressed women pres
ent on most of the ordinary occasions
of which the summer permits. An eX-
quisite model in white chiffon was COW
cred with thick Renais ssance lace dis
closing a front of tiny frils and some
blobs of black thereon, but whether it
was velvet or chenille l could not tell;
they We're but few, so the effect was
light. A touch of the same was intro
duced at the neck, and a chou of black
velvet held the bolero over full vest of
white chiffon. Endless little frills of
the chiffon, with black spots thereon,
trailed along the ground. The train CT
guipure took off from the deafness Of
the white which might not be becoming
TO everybody.
And yet another beautiful model for
a lady of more mature years was in
pale eau de nil chiffon, with short
coat of soft green MORE, covered with
an embroidery of large pink silk roses
and lace, studded with silver and gold
sequins. This jaunty little coat looked
as if it were lined with endless frills of
chiffon and displayed a high collar at
the back made of lace fastened in the
front with hopeless conglomeration of
chiffon frills and lace. One hardly
knew whether it was a glorified opera
cloak or a tea jacket; and it was still
a Veritable tea gown in it's clinging

Jimtown is not on the new map of
Missouri. Before the war it was the
only suburb of St. Joseph. 1t was
stone building back in the woods from
the big road. AT certain seasons il was
occupied five days in the week as a
school house. 1t was for rent on Sun
day to any denomination that wanted
1t for church purposes.

ing was to have a place to convert
