NEW WAR POEM BY
ALGERN0N SWINBURNE

LONDON, Oct. TO- - Algernon Swim
burne's war sonnet, published to-day, is
entitled October Ninth. Eighteen Ninety
Nine" 1t is as follows:
Patience, long sick to death, is dead. Too
long
Have sloth and doubt and treason hidden
US be
What Cromwelps England was not when
the sea
To him bore witness, given of Blake, how
strong
She stood-a commonweal that brooked
no wrong
From foes less vile than men, like wolves
set free,
Whose war is waved, where none may
fight or fee,
With women and with weanlings. Speech
and song
Lack utterance now for loathing since we
hear
Foul tongues that blacken Gods dishon-
ored name,
With prayed turned curses and with
praise found shame,
Deny the truth whose witness now draws
near.
= To 'scourge these dogs, agape with jaws
afoam,
Down out of life, Strike. England, and

CONVENTION OF CATHOLICS
Union of Societies May Be Effected in
Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 10-In the move
ment to form a federation OF interests
among the many Catholic societies of Los
Angeles, the Young Mems Institute has
taken the initiative through Montgomery
Council. Every organization has been in
vited to send delegates to a convention
that will be held October rs comprising
the Catholic societies in Los Angeles-the
Young Mems Institute, one branch of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians. two socie-
ties of the Catholic knights of America
one 0? the Catholic Order of Foresters
and the Los Angeles Catholic Beneficial
Association. Every one of these Is ex-
pected to send delegates based upon the
proportion of one delegate for each
twenty-five members. Bishop Montgom-
cry has been invited to address the con-
vention, and other prominent Catholic
clergymen as well as laymen will attend
the meeting. Anthony Schwamm, Deputy
Supreme President, speaking of the plans,
says:
"This proposed federation has been agi-
tated for some time and has no political
or any other significance. However,
Catholic interests have been anything
but united and therefore the first result
of this convention will be harmony among
all Catholic societies. The attention of
the delegates will be called to the action
of several leading magazines In publish
ing a certain advertisement which reflects
seriously upon Catholics No doubt pro-
tests will be made against reviving the
anti-Catholic spirit which this advertise
portance alone to the different societies
will be discussed and steps will be taken
to make this proposed federation perma-
nent and effective -

TROOPS WAITING
FOR AN ATTACK

LONDON, Oct. 11.--A dispatch from
Mafeking dated Monday says: The mill
tary are making every preparation. 1t is
expected that an attack will be made to-
night and the men are sleeping on their
guns, the outposts have been strengthened
and every one is warned to be ready. 1t
Is thought the enemy will attempt to
shell the town at daybreak. Nearly all
the women who remain here have volun-
teered to assist in ambulance work.
Machine guns have been placed in posi-
ton and stands of arms have been pro-
vided at various points in the native quar-
ter in order that in case of attack the ma
tives may be armed. 1t is stated that the
total Of the Beer forces in the neighbor-
hood is $500. Our outposts form a COM
plete Gordon, which no one is allowed to
cross unless provided with a pass. The

TRANSVAAL BACKED
BY THE FREE STATE

LONDON, Oct. 10.-A dispatch from
Pretoria. dated Monday evening. says:
Owing to the state OF the country
generally and the sad circumstances
which prevail, It has been officially an
nounced that there viii be no birthday
reception at the Presidency. Matters are
becoming critical, and many of the
burghers and the three main commanders
are impatient and feel that il IS suicidal
TO await the arrival Of overwhelming re-
Inducements from England. The Presi-
dent has done his utmost to stem this
feeling in the hope that diplomacy might
still settle matters. During the past few
days telegraphic conferences have been
held with President Steyn. and whatever
course shall be taken by the Transvaal
will receive the cOmmendation and sup
port of the Free State.
1t is freely rumored in the town, and
is believed to be correct, that the Gov
ernment assumed its firm position be-
cause Great BTitainS new proposals have
not arrived, though Conyngham Greene,
the British diplomatic agent at Pre-
toria, informed State Secretary Reitz
nine days ago that they would be for
mulated in a few days time. Conse-
quently the burghers are alarmed at the
continued dispatch Of troops from Eng
land and India
"A telegram received here outlines the
ultimatum in terms already cabled,
which the correspondent gathers has Just
been dispatched"
The correspondent adds: Martial law
may be proclaimed on Wednesday, but all
depends upon Great Britain's reply The
Transvaal forces are being augmented by
volunteers Of all nationalities. The War
Office is very busy. Ambulance parties
are starting for the front. There is still
the faintest hope that war may be
aNerted "

EX-Premier Escombe. who is a pro-
Boer, spoke reassuringly. stating that
there was no immediate danger; that he
anticipated no harm from the Beers and
no panic, the people leaving at their own
discretion.

communication TO make to him at the
present time.
The Times says editorially: The news
that the Transvaal has taken such a step
will be received with profound regret by
a majority of the British people. To the
last we clung TO the hope that bloodshed
would be avoided, but that hope has been
deliberately quenched by the wanton ac-
tion of the Pretoria Government. In tone
and substance alike the ultimatum is q
document Of studied insolent defiance. 1t
is the Transvaal. not we, who snap the
last fran thread Of negotiations. They
have declared war upon the British En-
pire, and they must feel her arm and pay
the penalty of their aggression
The article concludes with SwinbuTne

Cromwell and Of Blake will cry: Strike,

The expiration of the time limit of the
ultimatum tomorrow evening does not
leave Great Britain much time to
strengthen the present military position,
although there are still a few troops
at Durham, Natal, available for dispatch
to the front, but the Government will
doubtless now adopt the suggestion to
form the refugees from the Rand into
volunteer regiments.
Outside the momentous news Of the ul-
timatum nothing of moment has been re-
ccived this morning from the scene of ac-
tion except the announcement that the
Beers have constructed forts commanding

mounted on Mount Pogwane and Mount

A Roman Catholic Criticism.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In THE
Bun OF Oct. 10 appears strong letter signed
"Churchman." upbraiding the Bishops OF his
Church because OF their alleged encourage
ment OF divorce and worship OF wealth and
social position
All that he says on this point is deporably
true in my own view. but would like to call
his attention to one false statement. He says:
THE power OF tho keys is theirs" meaning
by theirs " the Bishops OF tho Anglican or
Protestant Episcopal Church. This assertion
challenges correction.
To-day is the Feast OF great Saint Wtred
Bishop OF York a. d. G6iN. His virtues make
him a conspicuous figure in tho calendar OF
English saints. and he is chiefly remark able
for the energy with which he opposed the pas
sons OF wicked kings and the cowardioe OF
worldly prelates. 'Churchman" will note the
significance OF those acts and long for the spirit
st. Wilfred to manifest itself in this day >of
social evils. But what would st. Witred say to
"ChurPhmans" declaration that Bishop Potter
f feg." r. brethren nave tho power OF the
st. Wilfred's bographer tells as that "he

From G04 to 1884 England was loyal to the
See Of st. Peter and through the power OF Rome
English liberties were preserved and the
Magma Chartn made the bulwark OF the peo-
pies rights. Henry, VIII; sowed the wind by
upon a royal divorce. but the present head OF
tina Anglican Church holds the whrlwind in
social abomination. In America the Protest.
ant Episcopal Church has no such safeguard.
and Its Bishops who sanction divorce are con-
sistept to the example set them by their pre-
decessor. rchbishop Cranmer.
