WASHINGTON LOOKING ON
The Transvaal Situation Thought Critical,
but No Action Taken

The TransVaal situation Thought Critical,
but No Action Taken.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-The situation
in the Transvaal is regarded here as
critical. Thus far, however, the state
department has not received word and
there is no disposition to take up the
question Of neutrality and care of our
interests unless the war issue is actually
framed. Charles MacFrum is the Unit
ed States consul at Pretoria The Unit
ed States also has consular agent at
Johannesburg, but he has not been heard
from since he was appointed.
Admiral Howison S return will prob
ably shed much light on the condition
of affairs with the Beers and the extent
of American interests. While the Chi
cago was in South African waters the
admiral spent much time at Pretoria
and Johannesburg.

RENNEs, France, Aug. 15.-There was
struggle for seats in the court martial
yesterday and $40 were seated. There
were the usual military honors. I'm
mediately after the prisoner arrived the
president announced in consequence of
the applause and other expressions of
opinion on Saturday, he had decided
that if there was any further Interrupt
ton the court would be cleared.
The shooting of M. Labori robbed the
morning session of its paramount inter
est. The intended murderer, appar-
emily, chose the day for the attempt be-
cause it was anticipated that NJ. Labori
would crush General MERCER, the for
mer minister of war, with his cross
questioning. The news of the shooting
of NJ. Labori caused an immense sensa-
ton in the court room.

Organization of New Regiments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Secretary
Root gave attention largely to army
matters yesterday. The question of
listing and selection of officers for addi-
tional volunteer regiments was also
under consideration. 1t has been sug-
gested another cavalry regiment or two
may be of advantage in the Philippines.
The recruiting now going on will con-
tinue. The proposed five new regi-
ments may be organized at some other
posts than where the first 10 have been
stationed, as several localities are anx-
ious to have them.

Dreyfus did not create very favor
able impression when, at the conclu-
sion Of M. Cavaignac's testimony he
was asked if he had anything to say.
The prisoner replied in declamatory
fashion, with his hand on his heart
that the court of cessation had already
disposed of NJ. Cavaignac's arguments.
Dreyfus must undoubtedly have been
profoundly moved by the attack on his
champion, who for all he knew, might
be dead or dying, but he maintained
the same immovability as hitherto, and
did not give in court the slightest indi-
cation of his emotions.

States to BE Appealed To.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Two dis.
patches from Governor General Davis
OF Porto Rico, giving additional details
OF the fearful havoc wrought by the
hurricane OF last week, were received at
the war department yesterday. One
said the fatalities in the island would
reach 1000. They were Immediately
sent to Secretary Root.
The secretary expects that the trans
port Mcpherson, with a large quantity
OF rice and beans will leave New York
today and this will be followed by other
vessels as fast as arrangements can be
made for sending supplies. He thinks
it is the duty of the government to make
provisions for feeding the people until
the aid voluntarily given by the citi-
zens OF the country reaches them.
The secretary contemplates supple
menting the appeal made last week to
the mayors to assist in raising subscrip-
tlons and tomorrow will issue an appeal
to the governors of the states with
view to arousing general interest in the
relief work

BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the Baptist church yesterday
morning Rev. DR.. George H. Adams
gave powerful sermon from the four
tenth verse. third chapter of Johns
gospel: las Moses lifted up the ser
pent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up
1t was an eloquent presentation of
the religion of Christ as contrasted
with so-called natural religion. The
large congregation listened with close
attention to the earnest speaker, as by
strong argument, pathetic appeal and
by vivid Illustration he preached with
power the old fashioned gospel.
The music included the anthem,
Wait on the Lord" by the quartette.
AS usual the floral decorations were
beautiful.
In the evening Rev. DR.. Halsey
preached from Second Samuel, xiii, II,
the text being a description of the dar-
ing deed of King David's three mighty
men who broke through the lines of
the Philistines to bring to their loved
leader water from the we'll at Bethle-
hem.
The following are sentences from
Rev. Dr. Halsey's sermon:
THE bible is a home book. Many of
it's most impressive lessons are found
in the incidents which pertain to home
and the home life.
King David loved the home of his
childhood, and longed for a drink of
the clear, cool, sparkling water from
the well at Bethlehem.
THE three brave men brought to the
L. fLn iaI, ha6
cured at the risk of their lives-and he
would not drink it.
He would teach them that duty is to
be regarded before personal devotion;
that private wants should ever be sub
ordinated to public welfare.
These men have manifested self
sacrificing love. 1 will teach them that
self-sacrifice is better than self-grati-
fication and that even to give pleasure
to those we love most we have no right
to risk the lives given by our Heavenly
Father to use in his service.
1T is a great thing to receive such
love as Davids friends gave to him. Ii
is greater, grander thing to be
worthy of such love.
David would not drink the drauGht
which seemed to represent the lives OF
his brave companions. Would that
our nation would turn away from the
price of blood-from accepting as a
boon the money paid that the souls OF
our sons may be exposed to eternal
/ death. The money which Judas flung
away was as holy as that. 1t is the
price of blood.
We should love our king, and be
ready to give our lives for Him.

QUEEN or THE CARNIVAL
CoafeSt Closes Tonight Promptly
at & O'Clock.

The vote in the contest for the queen
of the carnival yesterday proved to be
surprise party. The friends of Miss
Gala Mills rallied to her support most
CALAMITY, with the result that she
ranked first among all those mentioned
for the position. The voting was, in
fact, fast and furious considering that
the day was Sunday, and is a forecast
of what may be expected today during
the closing hours of the balloting.
Mrs w. B. Cleary is a close second
in the race, and Miss Lena Purdy as
third in rank is an active possibility.
The advancement of Miss Riordan is
one of the notable features of the bal
loting. These four ladies, any one of
whom would make a charming queen,
are the leading candidates in the race,
although the balloting has not been
so rapid at any time as to place those
lower down in the list beyond the
range of possibility.
The public should not forget that the
balloting will close at s o'clock sharp
tonight. The members of the commit
tee will at that hour collect the ballots
at the various polling places. These
arg the following drug stores: Butts,
Wakelins, Goodman's, Adams hotel
pharmacy, T. F. Hudsons, Ben l..
Bears and Thomas. Plenty of bal
lots can be secured at these places and
in case the supply runs short any adj
ditional number of ballots can be Sc
cured b. teiephoning the chairman,
George L. Buxton.
The queen of the carnival contest
will therefore close promptly at s
o'clock tonight. Don't forget it.
The canvass of the balloting last
night showed the following votes:
