LONDON TAILoRS.
ThelR Garments Are Well Made and
show Good Workmanship
But Do Not FIT.

"The best that can be said of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are well
made" said Nelson r. Huntington, of
New York, who has spent years abroau
in the study OF the hospitals, to Hi.
adelphia North American man. The
never fit. Indeed, the art of mis-.
seems to be carefully studied. The gar
ments of both men and women never set
well, and even the actresses, who are
supposed to be exacting, suffer from
the inability or indisposition of the
english tailors to fit the figure. The
finish, however, shows fine and thor
ough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not even i'm
portant buttons are secure. american
tailors and dressmakers surpass every
thing in Europe in making fit, and the
finish compares favorably with the Ems
lish. The New Workers who import
garments made by Poole and other
fashionable London tailors had them
refitted by American tailors until year
or two ago, when the latter refused to
touch them at any price"

THE BUGLER WHO FORGOT.
He saw an Opening in the EAsmy's
Line ana Sounded q
Charge.

1t Is not often that an enlisted man
gets chance to run part of the fight
to suit himself. That chance, however.
says Leslie's Weekly, came to one bu-
gler. Capt. Hannay, finding that COM
pany l. was too far away to hear orders,
in recent engagement in the Philip
pines, sent his bugler after the COM
pany to sound the charge. At the first
notes company L few onward. 1t was
right here that the bugler forgot, for
the time being, that he was only the
commanding officers orderly He saw an
other chance, he thought, not to be lost.
He sounded once more and Lieut.. Ross,
imagining, of course, that the order
came from Capt. Hannay, executed it.
Not even yet was the bugler's thirst for
forward action sated. He sounded
again and again, as the heat of general
ship made his blood flow thick and fast.
BY the time the bugler came to him
self and relinquished the duties of fight
director, the poor fellows of company
L were troubled with shortness of
breath. In this brisk affair, according
to the official report, the dead reached
total of about 90, including some
officers. 1t is the enemy's dead that is
meant, of course. Twenty-one mausers
and six remingtons were the spoils OF

MORE PEACEFUL.

Lawmakers Adopt IA Resolution show
ing a Conciliatory Attitude.
Pretoria, Sept 9.-In the first raad
yesterday morning debate was resumed
on the Interpolation of the govern
ment respecting the concentration of
British troops on the border and the
stoppage of ammunition consigned to
the TTansyaal. The house adjourned
shortly before noon, after adopting
unanimously the following resolution:
THE volksraad having considered
that friendly correspondence is still
passing between the two governments,
that the concentration of troops in
great numbers near the border has a
detrimental and restless effect on the
inhabitants of the state and that the
Transvaal has lived in friendship and
peace with all nations and desires TO
continue to live in such friendship and
peace, now declares its regret at the
fact of concentration and expresses the
opinion that, in the case of eVentuali-
ties, which might lead to enmity or
war between the two governments, the
cause would not lie with the republic.
"As regards the stoppage of ammuni-
tion in Delagoa bay, the yolksraad
trusts that the government will act
according to circumstances.
The raad further resolves to drop
the matter of the concentration Of
troops on the border for the present,
until the government shall supply fur
ther information to the raad, although
the information obtained is unsatisfac-
tory. Nevertheless, and with a view
to the results of the negotiations which
are pending, the raad declares itself
determined in the meantime to main
tain the rights and independence Of the
republic"
The government has issued a formal
announcement that its last dispatch
was intended as a acceptance Of the
Joint inquiry. The mistaken interpre-
tation arose through a confusion OF
ideas.
Both President Kruger and Vice
President Joubert declare that they are
! determined to work for a peaceful set
tlement.

l received a telegram from Pretoria as
surfing me that the Transvaal govern
ment quite understands the position
regarding the peace treaty in England,
and is in no wise misled by speeches
or demonstrations"
The meeting of the British council
yesterday was marked by absolute
unanimity, and in spite of a lack of
official information and in the presence
of much corroborative evidence that
the situation is scarcely less strained,
there is no signs of any intention to
convene parliament and no immedi-
ate necessity exists to call out the re-
serves. The aspect is decidedly peace
full.
Tie appeals from the government Of
Natal. however, will result in the dis
patch of a large body of troops to
Natal and Cape Colony. In addition
to the troops from India brigade Of
four battalions of infantry is under
orders to start for South Africa i'm
mediately. one from home and three
from Mediterranean stations. The
sailing Of the Castle liner Harlech
Castle has been cancelled, and the
steamer will probably be employed to
transport these troops.
A semi-oficial statement comes
from Pretoria through Cape Town to
the effect that the Trausvaal govern
ment has explained to the British
colonial agent, Mr.. Conyngham
Greene, that its last dispatch was
meant as an acceptance OF the pro-
posed joint inquiry.
The Cape Town correspondent Of
The Daily Mail says: There is no
doubt that Mr.. Schreiner (the Cape
premier) and the Afrikander leaders
have thrown in their lots with Sir AL
fred Miner and this fact explains the
irritation displayed in the volksraad in
| the debate on the interpretations. 1t is
reported from Bloemfontein that a bal
lot will be taken throughout the
Orange Free State to decide whether
| the government shall remain neutral
or shall assist the Transvaal."
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Brussels DR.. w. J. Leyes,
| the plenipotentiary of the South Az
rican republic to the European govern
ment, does not believe there will be
war between Great Britain and the
| Transvaal. but the Beers will fight to
the end, he says, if an attempt is made
| on their independence.

Dreyfus Found Guilty.
Ten Years Imprisonment

means civil war in France, and that the
country is discredited by the, verdict. The
Dreyfus psrtisans say they will fight to the
last.
In view of the official publication in the
Reichzanzeiger," at Berlin, the authorized
statement that the German Emperor declares
Dreyfus innocent, the latters conviction is
looked upon in official circles as direct slap
at Germany on the part of the French
military.
NJ. Labori expressed himself this morning,
previous to the verdict being rendered. as
fearful that Dreyfus would be condemned
He said afterwards, when it was found his
prediction came true, that the fight would be
continued. The Socialist leaders expressed
similar opinions.
