and buggy body manufacturers of the
central states met here Wednesday and

average of 20 per cent. The claim is

Orange Free State VIII
support Transvaal.

London, Sept. ga few days now
should witness a definite development
in the crisis in the Transvaal. The
Volksraad was sitting in secret session
Wednesday evening and the burghers
doubtless had the result of the delib-
erations of the Orange Free State volks-
Rad to guide them in making deci-
sion as to the reply to Mr.. Chamber
lain's latest dispatch, which will prob
ably be handed to the British diplo-
matte agent at Pretoria, Mr.. Conyng-
ham Greene, to-day, and be. discussed
by the British cabinet Friday.
1t is understood that the next British
note will virtually demand the absolute
fultillment of the conventions of 1881
and 1884, which have been violated in
numerous points, but will accept five
years limit for the franchise.
Beers VIII Not Recede.
Cablegrams from Pretoria and Cape
Town show that the general impression
prevails there that the Beers will not
recede from their position, and that the
feeling of unrest at Pretoria has been
intensified. A dispatch announces that
the Transvaal government has begun
to appoint officers to go to the front in
case of hostilities.
According to the Pretoria correspond
ent of the Daily Chronicle, it is believed
in the highest quarters there that a
settlement is even yet possible if Great
Britain will propose moderate terms
and at the same time make it clearly
understood that these will be regarded
as final. Other dispatches from South
Africa, however, anticipate that Presi-
dent Kruger will continue obdurate,
and represent the situation as of the
gravest character. Dispatches from
Pretoria and Johannesburg speak of
the probability of hostilities within a
week.
Four thousand rifles and a quantity
of ammunition have just arrived at
johannesburg and are being distrib-
uted by the field comets. The burgh-
ers of Pretoria, 1000 in number, are
equipped and awaiting the order to ad-
vance.

DUN'S REPORT.
Review of the General
Situation.

New York,~Sep 30-R. D. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: September Is
the twelfth consecutive month in which
the volume of business, both at New York
and outside New York, has been greater
than in the same month OF any previous
year In these IL months payments through
the clearing houses have been $50 GOO, 000, 900,
against SCI, zoe, 000. 600, in the IL months end
ing with September, 1892, an increase of $685.
400. 900, 600, over 46 per cent. When the tre-
mendous expansion began, men called IL
replenishment of long depleted stocks, then
for a time ii was called a crazy outburst
of speculation, and when demand still ex-
banded, some permanent increase OF BUSH
ness was recognized as a result Of in
creased population earning better wages.
But the demand still grows, now ranging
about 60 per cent greater than in 1892, while
population, according to treasury esti-
mates. is Is per cent. greater and wages
are not over 10 per cent. greater. A recon-
struction of business and industries, of pro-
ducing and transporting forces, is in prog
ress throughout the land. with results
which none can now measure.
Iron consumption. instead of 100000 tons
per month in 1892, is now over 100000 tons
per month, and yet is so far behind the
demand for products that the capacity Of
most works Is sold far into next year. With
sales of 20 900 tons at Pittsburgh, Bessemer
pig rose to $3.50. Chicago coke and south
ern pig again rose 81, and new furnaces
are sold many months ahead before they
begin work. Bars are hard to get at any
price.
Shipments of boots and shoes from Bos-
ton in nine months have been 3,500,676
cases, against 2,S33,6S2 in 1892, and in four
weeks 390,c22 cases, against 36O, $50 last year,
ZIG I'll in 1897, and less in any other year. Here
he increase is more nearly proportioned to
population and wages, but works are all
/ month or more behind their orders for the
season."

Bloemfontein,- Sept. 2S.-The volks-
raad of the Orange Free State has unan-
imously resolved to instruct the gov
eminent to use every means to insure
peace without violating the honor or
independence of the Free State or the
Transvaal. In further resolution the
volksraad declared its opinion that war
would be criminal, but asserted that,
come what might, the Free State would
faithfully fulfill its obligations to the
Transvaal in virtue of the existing po-
litical alliance.

Russla's Attitude.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 30.-Discussing
the attitude of Germany in regard to
the Transvaal crisis, the Rossia says:
II is still an open question as to whether
Russian diplomacy on the basis of The
Hague conference may not make the
experiment of recommending that
Great Britain and the Transvaal have
recourse TO a court of arbitration. In
view of the hostile feeling against
Great Britain, it is very possible that
numerous volunteers from Europe will
go to the aid of the Beers, as Russian
volunteers aided Servia. If Great Brit
ain attempts to prevent such a move
ment, Russia, perhaps, will speak de-
cisive word.

TO TAKE THE FIELD.
Commanders of Boer Troops Re-
ceive Important Orders.

johannesburg, Sept. 30.-There is
great excitement in consequence OF or
ders TO the commanders to take the
field. Dispatch riders have gone to the
frontier.
Durham, Natal, Sept. 30.-The sum-
moning of the volunteers has caused
widespread excitement. The men re-
sponded readily, and 500 troops, with
numerous guns, will entrain to-day.
Cape Town, Sept. 30.-A telegram
from Volksrust says it is reported that
the Beers intend to take up position
at Schinons Hogte, falling back on
Laing's Mex if forced to do so.
HostiIities May Come Soon.
London, Sept. 3O.-Indications lead
TO the belief that. in view of the cabinet
message, the Beers will probably COM
nit an overt act which will bring on
bostilities before the assembling of par
lament. All the latest dispatches from
the Transyaal show the liveliest activi-
ty on the part of the burghers. Iele-
Grams from Pretoria announce that ar
tilIery is being rapidly loaded at the
station for the front and military trains
have preference on all lines. The Cape
mail is delayed in consequence OF the
large amount of rolling stock reserved
for the forces. A large body of burgh-
ers left Thursday for the Natal border
and another for Anddleburg. Detach-
ments of cyclists are being distributed
among the different commanders. 1t is
understood that the first contingent OF
the Pretoria force will leave for the
eastern border TODAY.
