time in the history of the department
the next largest amount having been

London Aug 31.-Mrs. Langtry's ap-
pearance at the Haymarket theater this
evening in Sydney Grundy's new com
edy, The Degenerates, was decided
success. She daringly portrayed what
are generally understood to be scenes
taken from her own life. The realism
of the initial act is so intense, bring
ing in as it does, all the scandals asso-
ciated with her name, that the unani-
nous comment at the close Of the per-
formance was Its good, but she is aw-
fully brave to do it" Mrs. Langtry
acted better than ever before, seeming
to throw herself thoroughly into the
spirit of the comedy, which bristles
with epigrams, but is occasionally vul-
gar.
Hugo Gerald de Bathea, her husband,
looked on from a box, with the Duke
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Prince

now exceeds $4,000 in the hands of the
treasurer with from 27,695 contributions,
$4,000, reported as subscribed, still held
by local committees and subscribers
Delay has occurred in raising the fund
by reason of published rumors that Ad-
miral Dewey has declined to accept the
proposed gift. The committee has
never received any declination from
him and on the contrary has every
reason to believe that he will accept
as gracious and precious testimonial
home purchased for him in the name
of so many of his admirlng fellow citi-
zens. This committee was invited by
original subscribers to act as custo-
dians of the Dewey home fund Its
members put no personal motive into
the movement. They will gladly re-
ceive and hold for the object announced
all moneys that may be sent to the
treasurer. They do not doubt that the
fund will, now that Admiral Dewey is
on his way homeward, be raised to an
amount worthy of him, of the nation
and of the contributors Checks may
be payable to United States Treasurer
Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the fund,
Washington, d. c., who will send
souvenir receipt to each subscriber"
The fund to-day was increased by
check for $1,000 from the Milwaukee

Anglo -Transvaal Crisis as Viewed i'm
London-Chamberla Patience.

London Sept. 1.-The situation In
South Africa has become rather COM
plicated. The strong feeling of the
Dutch element in the Cape Colony evil
IDENTIFY influences the secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain to do
everything possible to avert a rupture
and explains the further endeavor' at
ter a conference at Cape Town to ar
range for the constitution of an arbi
tration court and to deal with the ques-
tion of suzerainty, which rather than
franchise, now takes the leading place
in the controversy.
Portugars action in permitting the
transit of the ammunition consigned to
the Transvaal by way of Delagoa Bay
occasioned some surprise at first, but,
after the action of the Cape govern
ment and until an actual state Of war
fare exists it is recognized that the Por-
tuguese government could hardly have
acted otherwise The British papers
now solace themselves with the remark
that England can easily prevent such
shipments if a crisis demands the ex-
treme measure and if Portugal does not
imply unfriendliness towards Great
Britain.
The Standard, however, says: "Diplo-
matte dalliance only postpones the evil
day and prepares for us still severer
conflict. Until we resort to decisive
measures every delay adds to the offen-
sive strength of the Beers and proper
tionately fosters their infatuated belief
in their own invincibility, which lies at
the root of their obduracy. Thus we
are confronted by an exceedingly grave
question"
The Daily News says: ''Mr. Cham
berlain's dispatches exhibit gale of
patience almost in the aspect of COM
edy."
The special dispatches from johann
nesburg express the belief that the
Volksraad will oppose President Kruger
going to Cape Town. General Joubert
is credited with saying: "There will not
be war, but Great Britain will not get
all she wants." The Outlanders, are
much irritated at the prospect Of fur
ther delays
