Kruger Will Proclaim Martial Law
Sunday or Monday.
Boer President Advised
to Yield.
But Replies IL Means Loss of
Independence.

London. september 29.-Owing to the
reticenoe of ministers there are various
stories current this evening. It lie asserted
with some show of authority that the
dispatches received necessitate further
communication with Sir Alfred Miner
and the reassem bling of the cabinet next
Tuesday before the new proposals of the
British government can be definitely
settled.
Officers at Woolwich this evening be-
lieve that an army corps will he startsd
for South Africa about October 9TH

George J.Goschen First Lord Admiralty,
was busily engaged for the greater part
of the day lt Is rumored that unexpected
complications havs arisen and that extern
sive preparations are to be made to guard
against contingencies.
The position as left by yesterdays cabi-
net council is that President Kruger has
been given another breathing space, and
that another council will be called mel t
week probably Tuesday to give final
consent to the despatch which Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Chamberlain are engaged
in drafting and which wnl form ulste the
British demands,
a London friend of President Kruder
has oabied advtsing him to accspt the
British proposals. as there is no desire. on
the part Of England to take away Boer
Independence and G. failure to comply
will mean war.
President Kruger replied: at Is i'm
possible to act on the lines desired with
out losing Independence.
1he Daily Mail publishes the following
from Charlesto wn, Natal:
"Commaudant General Joubert and
his staff have arrived at Makksrstroom
Mex, where 300 Beers are already assem-
bled with artillery"
The correspondent of the Morning Post
at johannesburg says: "a government
official who has just returned from Pre-
toria where he saw President Kruger, as
sures mo that martial law will be pro-
claimed tomorrow Sunday, or Mon day
next.''

FOOL TRAIT OF CRABS.
Make Prisoners of Themselves by
Crawling Into Live Oysters.

Make Prisoners of Themselves by
Crawling Into Live Oysters.
An oyster shucker found in the shell of
bivalve what he called baby crab.
THAT'S the first one of that kind ever
found in a Long Island oyster" said the
old shucker, "and I've been shucking
along the sound for 20 years. But such
crabs are frequently found in Virginia
oyster shells and are considered great
delicacies when you get enough of them.
Last summer l was shocking while on o
visit to Virginia, and 1 found enough
baby crabs in oyster shells to fill an
ordinary size coffeepot. A young woman
saw them and clapped her hands at the
sight. She asked me what / would take
for them, and said 81 without thinking.
She took me up quicker than mice, and
oil she ran with them as If she had
drawn prize"
why do they go into oyster sheIls?''
Il don't know. l asked an old Virginia
shucke" that same question, and he said
1t was because they We're lonesome and
went IN for company. But I don't be.
lieve it. That would mean that crabs
think, and we know they don't. Neither
does lobster. l think the biggest fool
In water is lobster. l suppose you
know now We catch Holsters in the
sound? Take box. bore holes in the
sides of it and sink it. Put out your
buoy SO you'll know where to find the
box. Leave the box sunk all night and
go out the next morning. haul it up, and
you've got box full of Holsters And
the funny thing about it is that they go
into the holes backward. Even people
will put their heads into holes where
they ars looking, but it takes a lobster
to back into hole, and they keep on
doing 1t. Fish are smart. You have to
play with them to bite. But Iobsters,
they back right into your arms. Biggest
fools that live. Philadelphia Inquirer.

London, September 30 Indications
this evening lead to the belief that in

that artillery Is being rapidly loaded at
the station from the front and military

the large amount of rolling stock re-
served for the forces.
A large body of bur ghers left yesterday

GERMAN PRESS HOSTILE.
Berlin, September 29.-The Anglophobe
tendency Of the tierman press is In no
way abated by the knowledge that the
German government not only does not
share, but seeks, though In VAN, to re-
press 1t.
The Neustre Nachrichten says:
ut would be more correct to speak out
frankly regarding the South African
crisis; for the question at issue ceased
long ago to be confined to the Tran svaal.
The responsibility of the British govern
ment will, therefore. be all the greater If
it should stir up war. By insisting that
the Transvaal acknowledge British suze-
rainty. Great Britain cuts OF every p:s-
sible road to q peaceful issue, inasmuoh
as the return Of the TranssaaI TO the con-
vention Of 1881 would be the signal for
an internal revolution"
The Vossiche Zsitung says:
England knows only might and par
ticuiariy where smaller nations are con-
cerned. She does not reeoil from outrag-
ing the principles of state whose popu-
lation ranks among the most civilized
people and which may be classed as of
the same stock as her own"

ROOSEVELT And TAXATION

Albany, New York, May %. -
Gov. Roosevelt's message to the
State Legislature which meets in
extraordinary session this evening,
gives his view upon Improvements
to the Ford franchise taxation bill,
and suggests lines of improve
ment.
Conce, ming the equity of the
proposal to tax corporations, the
Governor will say: " AT the pre-
sent the farmers, the MAJ ket gard
eners and the mechanics and
tradesmen having small holdings
are paying an improper and ex-
cessive portion of the general
taxes, while at the same time many
of the efforts to remedy this state
of affairs, notably 10 the direction
of taxing securities, are not only
unwise, but inefficient and often
serve merely to put premium
upon dishonesty.
There is evident injustice in
the light taxation of corporations.
L have not the sli htest sympathy
with the outcryagainst corporations
as such, or against prosperous men
of business. To drive out of a
com annuity the men of means and
the men who take the lead in
business enterprises would prob
ably entail as one of it's first re-
suits the starvation of consider
able portion of the remainder of
the population.
But while l freely admit all
this, it yet remains true that cor
poration which derives its power
from the state should pay to the
state just percentage of it's earn
ipgs as return Of the privileges it
enjoys. This should be especially
true for the franchises bestowed
upon gas companies, street rail
ways and the like"
Relative to the proposition to
place the determination of this tax
In the hands of the state board,
the Governor Gays: q deem it
wise that the power of assessing
the taxation of franchises should
be left with the state authorities,
not the local authorities,this being
in my view desirable for both the
sake of providing against dishon-
est favoritism or discrimination
against corporation by the local
authorities and also for the sake of
working equity as between the
franchises in different localities"
