BRITISH ARE NOW ACTIVE
Every Preparation for War
in South Africa.
ARMY RESERVES MODELLING
Orders for the ReassembIing Of Parlia-
ment-Every wheel of Government
Machinery In Melton.

London, Oct. 9.-Whatever may be
the result of Great Britain's contro-
versy with the South African republic,
every department of the government
today is as busy as though actual hos
tilities had begun. The electric flash
that announced the mobilization of the
army reserves and the summoning of
parliament, set every wheel of the gov
eminent machinery in motion. An,
hour after the Gazette appeared, exc
cutive orders were being dispatched
from the war office to every section OF
the kingdom, and the 10000 bulletins
which appeared posted throughout the
country today are said to have been
identical with the proclamation pre-
pared for use had the Fashoda incident
required such step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Balfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling of parlia-
ment, and the admiralty was concen-
trating its transports. So complete
were the preparations that $4,000 re-
serves have already individually received
COupOu tlChtts WulcH Coutdlu luStIuC-
tions where each man shall report for
railway transportation to the place
designated, and money order for three
shillings for provisions en- route.
At Woolwich today, it was asserted
that 95 per cent of the reserves would
be fully equipped within six days. In
the meantime, the members of the two
houses of parliament are arranging to
return to London, and force of men
is busily engaged in completing the
improvements at Westminster.
The important news from South
Africa comes from Mafeking, where
twice on Saturday the British camp
was aroused, the men stood to their
arms, guns were limbered and patrols
were dispatched in the direction OF the
border. No hostilities have occurred
as yet, but the enemy has moved prac
tically to the border, eight miles from
Mafeking, in force, estimated at least
5000, comprising five commanders.
The garrisoning and fortifying of the
town are practically completed. The
streets are barricaded, and perfect
system OF mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting of three bullet
proof cars, the first of which carries
searchlight, while the rest of the cars
are loop-holed. Each train is COM
plete in itself and carries its own pro-
visions.

PRICE OF FISH ADVANCED.
StiIl the Business Is Not Entirely Salts
factory-SteeIheadsA Are Scarce.

still the Business Is Not Entirely Salts
factory-Steeiheads Are Scarce.
Astoria, Or, Oct. 9.-The run of fish
during the past few days has been fairly
good, but the pack of the combine is
not true index of the Columbia river
run, as it receives about five tons day
from Shoalwater bay, and packs them
at one of the canneries here. The
price for fish-which are now under
stood to be silversides-is cents per
pound. Steelheads are very scarce,
but command cents, or even 10 cents
ii they could be secured in carload lots.
All fish buyers have had a practical
combination on the price of fish until
today. G. Alter raised the price to 2 q
cents, and the Prescott Packing Com
pany instructed its buyers to pay the
same price. The only cannery that is
now paying 2la cents is Warren's, at
Cathlamet. There is every reason to
believe that this price will be doubled
before the month is over, when the
usual fall fishing season shall be over.
An Astoria fisherman, who has been
working on the Siletz river since the
opening of the season, has returned, and
reports that for the first few days after
the season opened there was an abund-
ance of fish, but since then not enough
have been caught to pay the living ex-
penses of the fishermen,

Stampede From Dawson to Nome.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 1.-The steam.
er Tees, which has just brought $50, q.
600 in gold from Alaska, reports that
a stampede is now on in earnest from
Dawson to Nome. When the miners
who arrived by the Tees left the Klon-
dixie, river steamers were being left
without crews, the seamen deserving

TRIED SELF-DESTRUCTION.
The Barbaric Act Of Polish Woman
at BucOda.

Tho Barbaric Act Of Polish Woman
at BucOda.
Seattle, Oct. "a special from Blu.
coda says: A most deliberate and bar.
barrie attempt at suicide occurred at this
place yesterday. Mrs Leo Prabuski, a
Polish woman, became angered at
some little domestic occurrence and
determined to do away with her life.
She procured an ordinary hatpin six
inches long and drove the pin into her
stomach through the navel. Pressing
hard against the pin, she drove it until
it could 90 no farther, as it had lodged
in the spine. Then, with the intention
of forcing the pin out at the back, she
procured rusty darning needle and
drove this into what she thought was
the hole made by the hat pin. Not
until II o'clock las. night did she tell
any one what she had done.
Today Mrs. Prabuski repented of her
act, and accompanied the Bucoda ply
stefan to this city, where DR.. Redpath
removed the pin and needle. DR.. Red.
path thinks she will live. She is 4s
years old and has 10 children, five OF
whom are living.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The commits.
sioner of immigration is in commune
cation with General Shafter, at San
Francisco, with view to securing pas
sage on a transport for Mrs. L. NJ.
Todd, leper, living in San Francisco,
whom it is intended to deport to the
island of Molokai. The British consul
general at San Francisco, w. c. Pick
ersgill, became interested in Mrs.
Todd's case and protested against de-
porting her to Molokai. He was asked
to make provision for her care and iso.
lation in Canada, or elsewhere, but de-
clined to do so, and the treasury de-
partment today directed Immigration
Commissioner Schell, at San Francisco,
to proceed under his previous instruc.
