Predictions of Conflict Soon D~iscredited
by st. james Gazette-London Money
Market Reflects Apprehension Concern
ing War In Transvaal.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Transvaal
situation remains practically un-
changed. The general apprehension in
regard to the outcome was reflected by
the decline in consuls and stocks On the
stock exchange, where, although all
stocks continued depressed, there was
not the slightest excitement.
The text Of President Kruger's reply
was issued, but it adds nothing of inn
portance to the summary cabled to the
Associated Press yesterday. The Ian
guage III many places is taken to indi-
cate q firm, unyielding position.
The second edition of The Times con-
tainss a dispatch from Johannesburg,
which says: '.There is, / am informed,
some early coup in contemplation. The
quantities of compressed fodder for
warded in the direction of the Natal
border indicate some move on the part
of the troops in that quarter. The gov
eminent is buying horses freely"
The evening papers all indicate the
seriousness of the crisis, but the st.
James Gazette says: cit need. not be
imagined that anything will be done on
our side in a hurry. The cabinet has
first to consider and secondly to formu-
late fresh proposals. Therefore these
commentators on the crisis who sun
that fighting will Immediately com
mence are obviously a little previous.
OF course, it is quite possible the Beers
may begin hostilities, in which case our
troops will have to defend British terri
tory. But unless the Beers take the
offensive the negotiations will be pro-
longed until the reinforcements now on
their way to South Africa reach their
destination"
Searching Commentary.
Olive Schreiner contributes an elo-
quent cable letter on the situation to
the Manchester Guardian. She
"Let England clearly understand what,
war i'll South Africa means. The
largest empire the world has ever seen
will hurl it's full force against a small
state and about 10000 men, including
lads of 16 and old men of 60, without a
standing army or organized commits
sariat. The entire little people will
have to resolve itself into an army Of
their wives and daughters who will
prepare the bread and meat the farmers
will put in their saddlebags when they
go to meet the enemy. Today the
women of the Transyaal are demand
ing guns that they may take their part
in the last stand. We may crush the
little people with the aid Of Australians
and Canadians, since the British isle
seems unable to crush them alone. We
may take their land and lower the lit
tie flag of his independence, so dear to
the Boer, but we shall have placed a
stain upon our own that centuries will
not wash out. Only the international
Spectator who, through persistent
misrepresentation and by means of the
press, has wrought this evil, will gain
and fill his already overloaded pockets
with South African gold.n

No Aid From Germany.

BERLIN, Sept. 19.-The Associated
Press learns authoritatively that the
German government has informed
President Kruger to expect no assis-

Instructed to inform Germans there,

OLD MAHOGANY DISEASE.
II Begins With a Chest of Drawers
and Makes Trouble For Families.

"A friend Of mine who has been too
busy with the problem of ways and means
to pay much attention to the adornment
Of his house asked he yesterday to select
f,r him good piece of colonial mahog-
any, lis he wanted to have one such piece
In his house. and declined to do SO until
! had explained to him the cost, said a
scenic ari;t whose house is one of the
show places in II town near Now York
II knew that his furniture was oak and
upholstered stuff, and that just so sure ~
he placed with it II good example of old
mahogany his troubles would begin. The
mahogany would kill his oak, and in
course of time it would mean the refur
nishing of his house.
His was II case of ignorance being
bliss, and did not propose to upset his
household. l have seen the old mahogany
disease work its way into many house
holds, ard in many eases the results have
been disastrous. Talk about having a
mortgage on your house, why, that is
nothing compared to the annoyance of
finding that you have a lot of modern oak
furniture on your hands too good to throw
away when you have Gnco begun to col
lect old pieces. 1t has taken me nearly
ten years to live down n collection of oak
furniture which made in st. Louis and
which has hung over Inc like the shadow
Of Il great sorrow. was boarding in ST.
Louis and doing work on II big prOduc-
ton when my wife and decided that we
didn't like boarding and that we would
try housekeeping. l had no time to spend
in looking for II house, so We took the first
enc that we could find. We spent just
one afternoon in furnishing it completely
dishes, drapcrics, rugs, carpets and m
outfit of very new oak furniture. The re-
suit was just what might have been OK
pcctcd Our house looked like II Grand
Rapids showroom. We moved to New
York leaving behind as much Of our oak
furniture as VIC could, but when we got
settled here we found around us Il lot of

which We could not sell
II had picked up by this time u few old
pieces Of mahogany, and the more |
studied them the more despisod my oak.
Then built my house, and was forced
to move some Of those pieces into it,
have been crowding them ont by degrees
ever since, however, and now haven't got
one modern oak piece left. In the mean,
time have watched friends struggle with
their modern furniture after they had
picked up an old piece or two, and their
troubles have been like mine. When my
friend asked mo yesterday to select an old
piece for him, told him what have told
You, and said thnt il after thinking it
over for IL week he still wanted to make
the plunge I would help him. IIe will
probably want to begin on an old chest of
drawers, for that is usually the opening
wedge, and then old andirons, tables with
claw feet and corner cabinets will follow,
concluding with chairs, and the latter
will keep him poor for tho rest of his life.

Dover, Del. Feb. 1S-The fifty
third ballot in the contest for Il
United States Senator was taken
today under conditions that it is
probable never before have been
encountered in the election of
senator. But three members were
present to meet in joint session,
and after casting one ballot. they
took recess until tomorrow morn
ing, when they will again be called
upon TO repeat their performance
to fulfill the letter Of the law. The
result Of to-day S ballot follows:
For George Gray, Dem.
Slaughter
For j. Edward Addicks, Union
Rep. Senator Alice, Representa-
tive Satterield-2.
President Pro. TEN. Slaughter
declared that, as there was no quo
rum, and as no candidate had re-
ceived Il ma jority sufficient to elect,
there had been no election. The
houses then separated to meet again
at | l clock tomorrow.
:. The blizzard had its effect upon
the attendance of members, and
none but those living in Dover we're
able to be present. They were
Senator Alice, Union Rep. Senator
Slaughter, Dem, and Representa-
tive Satterlicld, Union Rep. The
Union Republicans made efforts TO
have as many members as possible
at Dover, but they were not equal
to the blizzard, and up to tonight
not an out-of-town member had made
his way here.

into Dover. Senator Samuel NJ.
Knox of Wilmington tclcgraphcd
George NJ. Jones, advising that a
ballot be taken at noon, and also to

A FREE AND EASY TALK.

The English lady whose "reminiscences
are entitled Foreign Courts and Foreign
Homes, " says that in her girlhood she was
staying in Paris and one day went to call
upon her relative, Lord Malmesbury. He
was not at home and she took up book
and sat down to wait for him.
Soon the door opened, and gentle
man entered in my girlish ignorance

also sat down and entered into conycrsa-

his visit VIC had heard comnotion, and
all rushed to the window.

my acquaintance.

he was facing the window and deliberately
pulled his chair round and said to me, L

him, seized him by the collar and forced
him to turn round. F"
My sister then entered the room and
looked daggcrs at me for talking with an
unknown Frcnchman. Presently she
walked out, and my friend said:
