The action Of President Kruger Of the
.Transvaal in refusing to accept the court
Of inquiry proposed by Secretary Cham
berlain has caused officials of the Colo
nial Department to believe that war with
the Beers Is now inevitable.
London advices say that just what
Dom Paul's reply to Mr.. Chamberlain
contained in the way Of rejecting his
plan for settling the dispute Is not
known, as the colonial office Is noncom-
initial, but it has been admitted, how
ever, that in place of accepting the sug-
gested court of inquiry, Kruger submit
ted number of new proposals, that are
taken to mean an open defiance to En-
gland.
The British officials, however, would
far rather have received curt, defiant
reply Srom the Beers than the temporiz-
ing and "soft word" answer, which 1t is
feared will require considerable explana-
tion to justify any aggressive action in
the eyes of the world and English mi
nority, which still declares that war
would be an outrage.
1t has developed that the war office
has been aware of the nature OF the
Transvaals reply for several days, hence
II is believed that Great Britain will de-
lay the denoument as little as possible,
and If Mr.. Chamberlain has his way the
counter proposals Of President Kruger
will meet with scant attention, thus fore
ing the Beers into a position where the
only way to avoid war will be by a COM
plete ck-down, which is not at all prob
able.
All England is talking war. Even the
man in the street who knows nothing of
what is going on behind the scenes is
confident that an appeal to arms is now
the only solution left for the Transvaal
problem, which has reached an ugly
stage. That the Beers will yield all is
| not believed, and this idea is strength
ened by the feverish preparations which
| both sides have been making for hostili-
ties within the last month.
The Transvaal dispute has been hang
ing fire for fifty years, and now that ii
bids fair to come to a crisis where 1t
| must be settled for all time the govern
| ment seems annoyed at the apparent in
difference of the public in the question.
Throughout the Orange Free State and
Cape Colony Sunday was observed with
prayer and humiliation by the populace
advocating a peaceful settlement of the
| Transvaal dispute. a dispatch from Pre-
toria says: President Kruger, while
| personally conducting public church
! service, prayed that if war was unavoid-
| able God might find right and truth on
| the side Of the Afrikanders."

effect was then read. AS the wide dis
crepancy between that and his present
testimony became evident, the witness
grew red and stammered an explanation.
Capt. Dreyfus then questioned the wit
ness and insisted that Fabre was wrong
In his details.
Col. Aboville then testified to the same
effect as Gen. Fabre, telling Of the iden-
tifcation of the prisoners handwriting
with that of reasonable papers. He was
sure Dreyfus had written them. NJ.
Cochefert, the detective who arrested
Dreyfus, next testified. He told Of the
test made by de Clam, who dictated part
Of the bordereau to Dreyfus. He said the
accused exhibited great emotion, as be
had also when placed under arrest.
Next came Gribelin, recorder of the
general staff. He argued that Dreyfus
was guilty, and that Col. Picquart's evil
dence was manufactured. Capt Dreyfus
then arose, and, speaking calmly, pro-
ceeded to refute the testimony of Coche-
fort and Gribelin. He related the scene
of the dictation test. II remember il per-
fectly," said Dreyfus. II came in from
a cold room, where had been waiting.
The difference between my writing then
and my usual handwriting was alone due
to my cold fingers
The session wound up with a scene on
ACCOUNT Of the extraordinary conduct Of
Col. Jouaust, president of the court, who
permitted himself 10 make an unwarrant-
able display of partiality. NJ. Bertulus
had been confronted with the last wit
ness, Capt Junck, and Gen. Gonse had
defended the latter when Col. Picquart
rose and asked to be allowed to refute
some of Junck's remarks. Col. Jouaust
made a gesture of impatience and
shouted:
what, again?"
An outburst of booing and Kissing
came from the audience at such display
of unfairness from the president. Judges
and gendarmes quickly suppressed the
noise, but Col. Jouaust understood the
well-merited rebuke administered him,
turned red and adjourned the court ten
minutes later.

Flames Destroy the Business Portion
of Victor, Col.
Fire has destroyed the business por-
ton of the city of Victor, Colo, causing
loss estimated ut $2,500,O00. Begin
ming shortly after noon Monday the fire
ragged until evening, consuming every
thing in its way. 1t had its origin, it is
thought, in the Merchants cafe, adjoin-
ing the Bank of Victor, Sd street and
Victor avenue. A strong wind from the
south famed the flames, and in a few
minutes all the surrounding houses were
afre.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Greek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp, and was Of
pine timber, for the most part, and burn
ed like paper. Efforts were made to
stop the progress of the flames by blow
ing up buildings in their path, and all
afternoon the hills have roared with the
explosions, but the effort was in vain.
The scenes Of the great Cripple Creek
fire were duplicated. Hurrying before the
children, carrying what they could
snatch from the fire, racing for their
lives. The crash Of buildings torn asun-

hastened their fight, and the pail OF

The residence portion of the city has
suffered little, but the business part is
paralyzed, and suffering Is bound to fol-
low.
The fire claimed the Bank Of Victor,
the postofficc, on the corner opposite,
crossed Sd street and followed the row
OF blocks between Sd and 4th streets to
the north, taking the Victor Banking
Company, the Western Union Telegraph
Company's Office, the office Of the Colo
RADIO Telephone Company, the Hotel Vic

and the three great shaft houses Of the
Gold Coin Mining Company, aud It's ore

Greek district.

ceedings a large number Of disappointed
persons quilted the courtroom, leaving
perceptible gaps along the benches.
Gen. Fabre of the general staff was the
first to testify. He related how he com
pared a captured letter conveying treas
enable documents to the handwriting of
Dreyfus, and what a remarkable resem-
blance there was between them. The
witness said that besides the general con-
duct of the accused was suspicious. NJ.

Austrian Military Attache Will Pros-

cCute tHr IT cHCHHHHs
Chief among the topics Of conversation
in Paris is the reported action of Col.
Schneider, Austrian military attache,
who is to prosecute General Mercier for
forgery. The case will come before the
Paris Court of Assizes. This is the
hardest blow yet delivered the military
cabal. The anti-Dreyfus journals have
been boasting that Schneider falsifed.
They said he was tool Of the triple alli-
ance. This boast is now an empty one,
and their own reputation for veracity Is
among missing quantities. Nercier's Of
fense consists in having adfuced docu-
ment in the Rennes court purporting to
be report on Dreyfus from Schneider

the conservative press severely CONDEMNS
the action of Mercier in trying to drag
foreign powers into the Dreyfus affair.

The Lincoln School.

As but few exercises of a general lit
erary character in which the various
rooms should join have been held this
year, it was thought best to observe Ar
Dor day, and to have all rooms join in
the exercise. Accordingly the various
rooms assembled in the lower hall and
rendered a programme that was very
interesting, and was highly appreciated
by many patrons present.
The exercises were introduced by
tree-planting song, in which the halls
rang with the melody of the entire
school.
THE violets' Song" by four little
misses from room /, was very taking,
as was The Little Wee Nest" by a
number of little people from room A
who also gave some quotations.
Voices from the Birds" by pupils
from room 2, was also very much en-
joyed. Among the reciters who capti-
waited their hearers were Barbara Long,
Ethel Briscoe. Johnnie Love, Stanley
Kimball. Charlotte Wetzel. Warren
Richmond and Grace Richmond. A Sc
lection from Longfellow's "Hiawatha, -

good.

Salt Lake CITY, ADrll Ia.
To the Editor of The Herald:
The accompanying communication
was addressed by me to the Tribune
yesterday. 1t then bore my signature
alone The Tribune declined to print
it. Today l offered it again to that
paper, bearing, in addition to my own,
the signatures of all the women who
were present at the Democratic Wom-
ems club meeting referred to in the
original article in the Tribune. But
again the Tribune declined to print the
correction of its own mis-statenent. l
would have preferred that the Tribune
publish the correction and thus far at
least, repair the wrong it has done the
women it assailed. 1t has decided, how
ever, to all appearances, that our club
and its members are not entitled to
common courtesy, and as an easy wav
l,out of its difficulty, it affects to be-
lieve its nameless Informant as against
the Signed statement of all the ladies
present, who alone could know the
facts. The statement submitted to the
Tribune follows:
Salt Lake City, April 49,. 1899.
Editor Tribune:
Your article this morning concerning
a meeting of the Womans Democratic
club at my residence is erroneous, and
does the club an injustice.
There was no objection raised by Mrs.
McCune, or by any other lady present
to Judge Powers or Judge King taking
part in the exercises at the Gardo
House on the evening of April 90
Mrs. McCune WAS not even mention
ed as one Of the committee on speak
ers She did not inform the meeting
that she was opposed to either of the
gentlemen named speaking on that oc-
casion. She informed the ladies present
before the meeting was called to order
that she had an engagement to attend
the lecture at the Mothers congress;
and that she could not remain long.
About $50 l asked the ladies to excuse
her on account of her cement; as
she left she assured all present that
she would ratify any and all arrange
ments they made. There was not the
slightest friction" Twas certainly one
of the most harmonious meetings we
have held.
Today, accompanied by another mem
Der of our executive committee, ! have
called upon every single individual who
was in my house on Monday evening
and do here affirm that, without one
exception, the ladies have been unani-
nous in condemning that article as
false and malicious; and we can con-
celve OF no motive for the publication
of SO many obvious statements;
and ask you to give this the same
prominence you gave the article which
