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 Paurs reply 10 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 ii has been admitted, hsw
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 a curt, defiant
reply from the Beers than the temporiz-
ing and soft word" answer, which it is
feared will require cops,der...., 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
Transvaal's reply for several days, hence
1t is believed that Great Britain VIII de
lay the denoument as litt,e 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 position where the
| only way to avoid war will be by a COM
plete back-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 viii yield all is
not believed, and this idea is strength
| ened by the feyerish preparations which
| both sides have been making for hostili-
| ties within the last month.
| Throughout the Orange Free State and
| Cape Colony Sunday was observed with
prayer and humiliation by the populacc
advocating peaceful settlement of the
| Transvaal dispute. A dispatch from Pre-
toria says; president Kruger, while
personally conducting a public church
service, prayed that if war WAS unavoid.
able God might find right and truth on

ing the Islands.


| President Mckinley made an address
at the Methodist stronghold at Ocean
Grove, n. j., in which he outlined his
policy regarding Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. The chief interest cen
tered in his remarks regarding the Phil
| ippines, which he declared must after the
establishment of peace be under the con-
troll of the United States. The President
said:
Il believe that there is more love for
our country and that more people love
the flag than ever before. Wherever that
| flag is raised it stands not for despotism
and oppression, but for liberty, opportu-
nifty and humanity and what that flag
| has done for MS we want 1t to do for all
/ people and all lands, which by the for
! tunes of war have come within its juris-
diction
THAT flag does not stand for one thing
! in the United States and another in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. There
| has been some doubt in some quarters re-
specting the policy of the Government in

| ing it in this presence. Peace first, then
with charity for all establish a govern
ment of law and order. protecting life
and property and occupation for the we'll

Fire has destroyed the business por-
ton of the city of Victor, Colo, causing
a loss estimated at $2.500,000. Begin
ming shortly after noon Monday the fire
ragged until evening, consuming every
thing in it's way It had its origin, it is
thought, in the Merchants cafe adjoin-
ing the Bank of Victor, 3D. street and
Victor avenue A strong wind from the
south famed the flames, and in few
minutes all the surrounding houses were
afire.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Greek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp, ana was of
pine timber, for tho 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 fire claimed the Bank of Victor,
the postofflce, on the corner opposite,
crossed 3D. street and followed the row
of blocks between Sd and 4th streets to
the north, taking the Victor Banking
Company, the Western Union Telegraph
Companys office, the Office of the Colo
RADIO Telephone Company, the Hotel Vic
tor, on the opposite side Of 4th street
and the three great shaft houses on the
Gold Coin Mining Company, and its ore
bins, among the largest in the Cripple
Creek district.
The scenes of the great Cripple Creek
fire were duplicated. Hurrying before the
roaring flames went men, women and
children, carrying what they could
snatch from the fire, racing for their
lives. The crash of buildings torn asun-
der by dynamite and the crackle oe the
flames as they consumed the dry timbers
hastened thei~ flight, and the pail of
smoke added n terror to the spectacle

JOHN BROWNS RAIDERS.
Seven More Victims to Sleep Near

The bodies of seven of John Browns
raiders who fell at Harper's Ferry have
recently been exhumed and sent to NORTH

OF the other three raiders who were
killed at HaTper's Ferry, the remains of
one. Watson Brown, were recovered and
buried near John Browns body in 1882
Where the other two are no one can tell
They were taken from Harper's Ferry
after the fight and were used in medi
cal college for anatomical purposes. Wat
son Browns body was taken away for
the same purpose, but it was traced and
recovered by Mrs. Brown many years
afterwnrd. The two whose whereabouts
arc unknown are Jeremiah g. Anderson
and Lewis s. Leary, the latter a negro.
Ceremonies were held at John Browns
grave when the seven bodies arrived and
Rev. Joshua Young, who buried John
B.own and who suffered social ostracism
for it, took part. He is now living in
Groton, Mass.
A monument is to be erected over the
graves at North Elba. The bodies rc-
covered are those of Oliver Brown, Stew
art Taylor, W. II. Leeman, William
Thompson, Dauphin Q. Thompson, John

the graves, and two lead pencils dropped
from 1t when it was taken up.
