TEXT OF THE ULTIMATUM.

London, Oct. 1O.-The Transvaars ul- timatum requests explicit assurance of the withdrawal within forty-eight hours of the British troops from the Transvaal borders, as well as the with drawal of the British forces landed in South Africa since the Bloemfontain conference. The effect of the Trans vaars ultimatum on the stock ex- change was steadying. Kaffirs were firm in the belief that the most gigantic gold industry in the world will be incorporated in the British colony as the outcome of the war. The text of the Transvaal ulti- matuEl it is understood is on the way to the British foreign office. Accord ing to the latest advices the time limit expires tomorrow afternoon at o'clock when, if the demands of the Boers are not compiled with the further landing or dispatch of troops will be consider ed an act of war.
 Reports from all the military centers show that the mobilization orders are received with the greatest enthusiasm now that President Kruger has taken the irrevocable step of issuing an ulti- matum. The wonder is why, if Presi- dent Kruger is resolved upon fighting, he has waited so long. The explana- tion seems to be that his hand has been forced by the fact that the Boers have got out of his control

FETTERED BY A FOG
Great White Winged Racers
 Lay df Their MOOringS.
Nobody Will Hereafter Take inc word of inc Weather Bureau in Any r1affer Concerning Good Racing Conditions.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Hard luck con
 tinues to pursue the big single-stick- CTS. On three days last week when the yachts made attempts to sail, light f1uky winds left them stranded on the course when the time limit expired. Today a fog bank prevented them from even leaving their mooring buoys in side the spit of land which forms Sandy Hook at the entrance of the lower bay. This was by far the most dismal fiasco of all.
 City and bay were done up in gray swathing clothes of impenetrable mists when the yachtsmen jumped out of bed this morning to- get a look at the weather, and there was gloom and dis may along the water front. Old salts sniffed, saw mist wreaths and shook their heads. Nothing doing on the ocean today" was their verdict. But the weather bureau with it's scientific meteorological methods, had predicted fair weather with freshening winds to- day, and a few chung vYinly to the hope that the weather bureau prog nostication would turn out true for once.
 Of course the poor, misguided public went like lambs to the slaughter. They backed Uncle Sam's weather or acle and put to sea, but not in such numbers as last week. Many of the sight-seers who witnessed three f1ukes at an average cost per fuke of from So to $25 had lost their interest, and it will take race to restore it.
 Meantime the racers lay tied to their buoys inside the horse shoe. The fog had let down it's curtains all around them. The circle of vision was barely 100 yards in diamueter The yachts were as completely shut off from the rest of the world as if they had been inside a big circus tent. Gray water matched the gray mist and plotted out the sky and sea line.
 The sun tried to bore into the gloom and once or twice it's dim outline look ing like shining silver dollar, could just be discerned through the haze. There was no wind to lift the cloud of mist that literally rested on the water. If anything, the curtain seemed to grow denser as the time for the yachts to get under way approached. It was impossible for the yachts to put to sea in such weather.

JONES DRAWS CROWDS
indications That He Will Receive a
 CrediISbIe Vote.

Columbus, O., Oct. 1O.-Though both the republican and democratic leaders and their organs declare that the can didacy of Mayor Jones for governor has "petered out,'' and that he will have no preceptible effect on the con test between Judge Nash and John R. Mclean, Jones continues to draw large crowds wherever he speaks.
 Though advertised less and without the strong influences that operate in favor in the two regular parties, his meetings are fully as well attended as those of the republicans and demo- crats. It is evident that there is much interest in the independent candidacy of Mayor Jones and that he will re- ceive a very ercditahIe vote.
 The democratic opening meeting did not compare favorably with that of the republicans. as to numbers present, though it did in enthusiasm. The eX- pected opposition to Mclean among the democrats, however. Is not develop ing. The party, it seems, will be better united than usual If the Bushnell re- publicans vote Nash, as now seems likely, the election will be a close one.

Duryea Is Regaining Control of His
 Muscles.

New York, Oct. 10-Walter E. Dur ', and who was operated upon on Sep tember 19. at Roosevelt hospital, is steadily improving as a result of the operation. His cousin, Louis T. Dur yea. who has had charge of the young
 man ever since the accident, said yes terday that MT. Duryea was now able to move his head from side to side and had for some time been able to lift his hands to his head. He had been unable before the operation to move single muscle below his neck.
 My cousins condition is so percep- tibly improved" said Louis T. Dur yea yesterday, that we are a great deal encouraged. Not only can he move his head, arms, fingers and toes, but the organs of digestion and the rest have reasserted themselves so that they perform their functions nat urally and he has some control over them. He suffers absolutely To pain, and is quite comfortable.
 pr. Robert Abbe, who with Dr. Rob- ert F. Weir performed the operation, declined to make any statement about it yesterday. on the ground that it would be unprofessional When the proper time came, he said, a full his~ tory of the case would be laid before those who were interested. At the time of the operation it was said that if the operation were in any degree successful the results would be ap- parent in about three weeks. The pa tient was able to move his head just thirteen days after the operation.

London, Oct. 1O.-The diplomatic cir cumstances surrounding the presenta- ton of the Transvaal republics ulti- matum are probably without precedent. Ordinarily foreign power, when ad- dressing peremptory demands to an other, sends them through the ambas- sador or minister accredited to its adversary. The Transvaal govern ment, however, has no diplomatic rep resentative recognized by Great Brit ain.
 Montague, while the Transvaal consult general in London, would not be received by either the foreign office or the colonial office. Consequently Pres ident Kruger was reduced to handing his ultimatum to Conyngham Greene at Pretoria, who in turn wired it to Secretary Alfred Milner, the British high commissioner in South Africa.

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 1O.-The
 court martial which was in session
 here for several months trying, in the
 absence of most of them, the chiefs of the revolutionary movement which be- gan in February at Bluefielos, has pro claimed it's decision. General Pablo Reyes and two or three other insurgent officers, who escaped from Nicaragua, are condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. which is death. One only of the prominent leaders was captured. He is now in the peniten- tiary. It is believed he will be placed in chains for life by order of President Zelaya, instead of being shot
 Adolfo Vivas, a well known news paper correspondent and Dr. Jose Meuria Quadras. a prominent physi- elan, who was educated in the United States, together with a fe " other young men, are sentenced to banishment from Nicaragua fo~ fourteen years.
 To the general surprise of the public. President Zelaya has, within a day or two, arrested several prominent citi- zens of Leon, Nicaragua. and trans ferred them to Managua penitentiary. No public accusation was made in these cases nor is any reason offered for the arrests. The sensation is all the greater because there have been no in dications of an uprising against Presi- dent Zelaya since last February. As a q fo 1,a h busy on their farms. endeavCring to make a living for themselves and their families. and to recover from the evils of scores of revolutions, forced loans and heavy fines.
 Such lawless acts as the government is committing in this regard, acts usually at the expense of members of the party not in power, tend to check the reviving activity and again to inn pair credit. Except for such arrests, however. and the impressment into the army, matters are fairly quiet.
 President Zelaya is giving a truly national reception to General E. Alex ander of South Carolina, in the latter's capacity of arbitrator of the boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The various issues involved have been settled, and the boundary has been distinctly marked. General Alexander has been for nearly three years at San Juan del Norte engaged in this inn portant work, at a reported salary of $1 900 in gold and his expenses per month, paid, it is said, by the govern ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
 All his decisions seem to have been just and in full accord with the facts, l and his course here has been highly | creditable to himself and to the United l States government. It is quite prob | able that Costa Rica also will extend | to him national hOspitalities and cour- tesies.

On September 1 his condi- tion was still regarded as critical, but it was hoped that the fever. being recognized in it's earliest stage, would prove amenable to treatment.
 Mr. Corbin was allowed to see no one. though General and Mrs. Denby were daily visitors. Miss Anna Wheel CT. daughter of General Wheeler. is a nurse in this hospital.

Northeast Gale That Causes Fear for

New Orleans, La, Oct. 10.-The in habitants of the marsh lands along the lower Louisiana coast are believed to be in serious danger tonight from the terrific gale that has been raging since morning. Telephonic communi- cation with the east bank of the Mis- sissippi says that the Gulf water is being driven over into the Mississippi river, inundating all those plantations and orange groves that are not pro- tected by high and powerful levees. The Barataria region, where such dam- age and loss of life occurred in the storm of 1893, cannot be communicated with for many hours. and the greatest apprehension is entertained by those who have friends and relatives in the vast wilderness between New Orleans and Grand Isle.
