Danville. Ill.,, Oct. 6.-The free COIN
age of silver is no longer the slogan of
the Illinois State Federation Of Labor
and the vote which knocked it out was
unanimous. When the committee on
constitution reported this morning ii
was found that the sixth clause in the
platform, declaring for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, had been
left out, and although Delegate Jones,
Of Chicago called attention to the
omission, the new constitution was
adopted without a dissenting voice.
The politicians won victory by the
failure of the committee to report back
the old clause in the constitution. This
means that in the future the action of
the delegates to the convention Of the
lState Federation of Labor will be final,
and this being so, the officers in charge
will have it in their power to outline
the policy of the federation on any i'm
portant question.

a conference with the admiral touching

building of house for him. He wished
the house to be modest enough in cost

Fails to Move Cham perInin.

Cape Town, Oct. 6.-Sixty out of the
|seventy-nine members of the house of
assembly of the cape parliament have
cabled petition to the queen to- pro-
ceed with the inquiry as to the working
of the Beers franchise proposals and to
refrain from warlike pressure or inter-
ference. Mr.. Chamberlains reply is dis
tinctly unfavorable. He declines to
proceed with the inquiry, and declares
that the colonial Office is formulating it's
final proposals for q settlement of the
difficulties with the Transvaal.
This reply is regarded as tantamount
to a declaration Of the intention to pro-
lceed to war. The conference held yes
terday between Sir Alfred Milner and
Mr.. Hoffmeyer is understood to have
been altogether barren of practical re-
suit.
The frenzied enthusiasm for war that
has taken possession of the young Beers
and old is something remarkable. With
the fighting force of the burghers are
many boys under IA years of age and
one man of 81 years, who went with his
rifle to the muster-in, and declared that
he would not go home. He was able to
sight a gun to kill, he said, at 300 yards,
and that was enough. Later on the same
man appeared in buggy, saying that
he was determined to drive to the bor-
der and there alight and do his part
while he lived to defend the republic.

The Khalifa Giving Trouble In the
Far East.
London, Oct. 6.-Great Britain it
seems, has another obstreperous person
to deal with beside President Kruger,
lalthough the fact has been almost over
looked by the public on account of the
Boer troubles. This person is the kha-
llifa, against whom a strong force of
| troops is about to be sent. While it was
officially stated some time ago that the
expedition to Kardofan and Darfur
would only take place after the Sirdar's S
interview with Lord Cromer, which is to
take place on Oct 81, there are many
indications that the expedition has
started much sooner. All the Egyptian
forces are concentrating at Omdurman,
and British officers now on leave have
been recalled and hurried to the front.
The khalifa is reported to have $1,000
men under his command.

of the st. James Gazette calls attention

way in the event the Transvaal COM
manders are compelled to execute re-
trograde movement upon Pretoria. He
says they will not merit too much con-

In view OF the exceptionally cordial
relations between England and Amer

princely wage. are willing to risk GER.

and possibly severe punishments from

reputation of their own government
and the execration of their fellow coun-
