HALT IN PREPARATIONS.
Labor Unions Interfere With Chicago
Fall Festival Plans.

Z all ESSL1Vdl E1duS.
Chicago, Sept. 1S.-The difficulties be-
tween the labor unions and the COM
mittee on arrangements of the Chicago
fall festival reached a climax today,
when instructions were issued from fes-
tival headquarters suspending all prep
arations for the celebrations until the
difficulties with organized labor are
definitely settled.
A letter was sent by Chairman Truck
to the various committee chairmen, ad-
vising them to stop the further pay
ment of funds until it is definitely
known whether the labor unions will
carry out their announced intention Of
declaring a strike on the federal build
ing and on the festival arches and other
preparatory work unless the corner
stone to be used in the federal building
is discarded and one cut by union labor
substituted.

London, Sept. 19.-The Daily Tele-
graph publishes a communication from
a military correspondent who, dis
cussing the effect of the Orange Free
State throwing its lot in with the
Transvaal, says:
In the event of war this VIII greatly
Increase our difficulties and will
lengthen the duration of the campaign
but the work will be accomplished and
the union jack will float over consoli-
dated South Africa between Zambesi
and the Cape.
The principal danger which besets
the British position is a sudden out
break OF hostiiities, enabling the Beers
TO score a few minor successes, which
would bring down upon US every
Dutchman in South Africa and prob
ably the statement that the Beers are
sending compressed forage to the Natal
border seems to signify that they viii
not wait for new grass but are pre-
pairing an immediate advance.
For this we certainly are not yet
prepared 1t is doubtful if the few
troops and volunteers now in Natal
could even maintain tie defensive. The
Cane frontier from Mafeking to KIM
berley. including the diamond fields, is
practically defenseless and q combined
attack by the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal might result in disaster
and the retreat of our forces toward
Durham, leaving the border towns in
the hands CT the enemy.
Small wonder is it that these towns
are alarmed. The movement of British
troops into Natal has not begun a mo-
ment too soon"
War Risks Go Up.
War risks on corsignments to the
Transvaal were quoted at pl emium
of so per cent yesterday and all the
markets were very sensitive and ex-
cited.
The Daily Chronicle points out this
morning that the Orange Free State
would probably better serve the Trans
Naal by remaining neutral than by
active assistance because the easiest
route for marching troops to johannes
burg and Pretoria lies between the
Orange river and Vaal river.
The. Cape Town correspondent OF the
Daily Chronicle says: 1T is reported
here that Ccnynsham Greene, British
diplomatic agent at Pretoria fears that
an attempt viii be made TO dynamite

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Little Information Has Reached the
Secretary of the Interior.

Washington, Sept. 1S-The only con-
firmation received by the interior de-
partment of the trouble with the Uin-
tab Indians on the Colorado border,
comes in a telegram to the secretary
from Governor Thomas of that state.
He merely says that the Indians are
reported by the game warden to be
crossing the state line from their reser-
walton in Utah and that trouble is ap-
pretended.
The department accepts the press re-
ports that some of the Indians have left
their reservation and gone on a hunt
ing expedition. The agent at the Uin
tab reservation will be notified of the
facts and probably instructed to call
the wanderers back.

Letter From Duke of Orleans.
A letter from the Duke of Orleans to
his representative, M. Buffet. written
from Mierenbaden in 1896, instructing
him to commence a royalist organlza-
ton, was read, and then other secret
instructions, in which it was stipulated
that the sum to be spent was not to
exceed 800, 900 francs. The mention of
this figure evoked laughter from the
senators and others present.
Three hundred thousand francs
would be cheap" was the remark heard
from the press gallery. M. Fallieries
tapped for silence and M. Bernard con-
tinued to review the royalist agitation

was further disorder, a mob marching
on the Cherche Midi prison, crying,

stopped the mob, but NJ. Chevilly wired
to the Duke of Orleans: Success des-

stopped them, but will recommence.

cideGtally to TESTIFY IN the case against
Brown, who was on trial for burglary,
the same one, by the way, for which
Gray was convicted.
Eighteen Years In Prospect.
The county attorney had announced
his intention Of prosecuting Gray under
the habitual criminal act. This would
mean, in case of conviction, a sentence
of fifteen years at least. Therefore, the
prospect of eighteen years behind thick
walls and iron bars stared in the face
of the man who sat on the little bench.
From time to time his gaze wandered
shiftily around the room, resting for a.
moment on the penitentiary guard who
sat near him and on another twenty
feet further away.
At little after o'clock the guard
who sat nearest to Gray rose and went
into another room to use the telephone.
The convict looked carelessly at the.
retreating figure. AS it passed out of
sight a set look came into the prison
er's eyes. He glanced quickly at the
other guard, PhineaS Young. Forty
feet of space separated the men, Gray
being considerably nearer the door.
