War Is Inevitable.

London, Sept. 5.-The latest news re-
ceived in this city from various points III
South Africa is vague and contradictory.
Nothing more is known regarding the
status of negotiations between Great
Britain and the Transvaal than learned
yesterday
Officials of the British war office en-
phatically deny that reserves have been
called out or that any steps have been
taken to that end.
The afternoon newspapers follow the
lead OF the morning papers in taking an
extremely grave view of the situation. al
though the war office denials an tend to
allay the wildly alarmist reports current
last night.
The Boer organ here, the Standard and
Diggers News, today prints dispatch
from Pretoria saying the tension there
was apparently less severe and it was be-
lieNed arrangements for the proposed
conference at Capetown would be COM
pleted although President Kruger is un-
likely to attend.
The opinion of those who regard the be-
ginning Of war between Great Britain
and the Transvaal as a matter of only
short time is voiced by the st. James
Gazette. which says today:
News concerning the crisis is very
grave. We learn that three more infan-
try brigades have been ordered to Cape
oClony including the Gordons of Dargai
fame: one battalion of highland light in
fantry. who fought in Crete: the second
battalion of the Black Watch and second
batallion Of the Camelions.

An Aggressive Campaign.

Chicago. Sept 5.-A special to the
Record from Washington says: The
meeting today decided to suspend neEo-
tiations with the insurgents through the
Philippines commission, and the com
mission will be quickly dissolved. The
president and his ca binet advisers have
reached the conclusion that it is unwise
to maintain the comm ssion and attempt
to negotiate with the insurgents for sur
render. An aggressive campaign has
been ordered. The military men of the
service will be given full sway. Colonel
Denby and Professor Worcester, the two
civilian members of the commission now
in the Philippines, will be ordered home
and the insurgents notified that any COM
munieations they may have TO make in
the direction of surrender must be ad-
dressed to General Otis.

LAB0RTy REQUEST DENIED
Foreigners Will Not be Allowed to
Testify for the Prisoner.
AF0RMAL APPLICATION WAS MADE
Part of the Session Today Was Held Behind Closed
Doors--Tilt Between the President Of the Court
And Counsul for the Defense-No Comparison Be-
tween Esterhazy and Dreyfus Possible.

Labori sought to question Roget more
closely on his statement that none of
the generals of the general staff had any
relations with Esterhazy. hut Colonel
Jouaust declined to allow further discus
sion. This led to another scene between
the president and Labor.
General Zurlinden then spoke a few
words regarding the general staff's belief
in Esterhazy.
Demange asked Roget his opinion of
Esterhazy.
Il have absolute conviction." replied
Roget amid cries of oh from the audi
ence, that Esterhazy is a stranger to
treason"
NJ. Deffes. reporter for the Temps. tes-
titled that Esterhazy confessed to him in
London that he was tbs author of the
bordereau.
NJ. Trarieux, formerly minister of JUS
tce, was next called. He made a long
deposition in favor of Dreyfus, review
ing the history of the case and his own
part in connection Herewith. His depo-
sition closed the public session.
He made very telling speech describ-
ing how his original belief in the guilt
of Dreyfus was first shaken and then
| completely changed to conviction of
innocence by the subsequent develop
! ments. The letters exchanged between
General Gonse and Colonel Picquart also
strengthened his conviction. Trarieux
spoke of the Vaccinations against Pic
quart and said he accused nobody.
Trarieux recounted conversation with
a foreign amba ssador who declared in
| tone of greatest earnestness that Drey-
| fus never had any relations with him
| nor with any officer of his country, while
| the ambassador added he possessed doc
| uments proving the guilt of Esterhazy
The witness declared in an emphatic
tone, which made deep impression upon
his hearers, that no parallel ought TO be
drawn between a model officer like Drey-
fus and Esterhazy, who had not even the
soul of Frenchman
At the conclusion of Trarie,xs testi-
mony, which apparently made an i'm
preston on the judges the court martial
went behind closed doors and examined
| the secret espionage dossier.
The court also deliberated upon La
| borl request that aplicat ton be made
| to Germany for documents described in
| the bordereau. The decision was lnani-
mously reached to reject the application
on the ground that the court was incom-
petent to invite the government to take

Helena, Sept. Ex-Governor Smith today

Alien, half breed under sentence to

of 1898. The governor has been besieged
with petitions, letters and personal re-
quests to commute the sentence to life
Imprisonment on the ground of the youth
of Allen, the circumstantial character OF
the evidence and the further circum-
stance that being possessed of Indian
blood he did not perhaps realize the
enormity of his crime. He announced
that after carefully looking into the case,
weighing the evidence and giving the pc.
titions proper consideration, he did not
think it his duty to interfere. The dis
trict and the higher court had acted and
it was not for him to step in. While there
might be sentiment against capital
punishment that was question to be
settled by the people who, if they did not
want it, could amend the constitution.
So long as it was the law of the state he
could not from motives of sentiment in
terfere. He said he disinclined to take
the action he did but could not do other
wise. Allen will be hanged upon the same
scaffold used in the execution of Bill

Attempts to Burn Orphans Home with

It's Fifty Little Inmates.
San Antonio, Tex, Aug. Is
Two attempts were made this
morning between 3 o'clock and
daylight to burn up the Protes-
tant orphans home at West End,
with its fifty little orphan children
The attempts were carefully
planned and were aimed at a com
plete destruction of the building.
The smell of kerosene oil perva-
ded the air, and the building seem
ed doomed.
With great effort the flames
were extinguished.
Two hours later the home was
again On fire, this time from an
oil-soaked rag placed under the
floor of the building.
Bloodhounds put on the scent
and followed a trail toward the
city, but lost it in the bed of thu
AlaZan creek.
The attempts to destroy the
home makes the fourth unexplained
fire in that suburb in twenty-foul
hours.

FARMERS SHOULD EcoNoMlzE.

The Denison Herald, in devot-
ing lesson to farmers, says the
south can well afford to go to an
other section for lessons and to OBJ
serve for the purpose of developing
her matchless resources and build
ing up one of the sections of coun-
try for which nature has done so
much and her people so little. Go
east, north or west and the south
can learn lessons to her advantage.
Especially is this true of the great
northwest, where there is one great
predominating crop, wheat, and
where corn and oats do not produce
so well as in Texas, and where
wheat is no better. The north
west hasn't any of the great ad-
vantages of Texas. Coal is higher,
and it takes much more of it to
operate factory the year round in
the north than it does in the south
because of the very severe winters.
In the cities of the great northwest
there is a great demand for labor
Two dollars and a half per day are
offered for harvest hands and ST. sc
and S. per day is offered for SHOW
elers and day laborers. And why?
Not because crops are more boun-
tiful than in Texas, but because in
the northwest everything raised
there is manufactured there, anC
everything the farmer needs on his
table, in his larder and for feeG
for his stock, he raises. Youl
farmer folk of the northwest work
no harder than your Texas farmer
but he is more frugal. He stops
the leaks in the barrel and theI
makes sure that the bunghOle /!
securely stopped. He buys in'
machinery and guards it from thu
weather ss he guards his life
There is no waste for him, no los
of time, money or produce, but th'
smallest thing is garnered in

sold.
When the Texas farmer learn
this lesson live at home, max
his farm produce all he uses. save

be long till all other good thing

If any man is capable of judging
and forming an estimate of the
growing crops it should be the
farmer. He is directly associated
with it, watches its development
day after day, and is therefore in a
condition to render a correct esti-
mate as to its yield. While our
farmers. in some localities, say
their crops are damaged so and Is
per cent. Henry M. Neill. a cotton
expert says the general crop will
be larger this year than last.
