Establishment of Such al Institution
Announced in Chicago.
CHICAGO. Oct. 2I.-An announce
ment OF more than usual interest was
made by the Rev. DR.. Robert Mcintyre.
of St. James Methodist Episcopal
Church. in his sermon last Sunday
morning. namely, that a hospital for
incurable consumptives would soon be
established in this city. All the infoT-
nation DR.. Mcintyre felt il permissible
to make public in regard to- this new
institution is that one of the we'll
known and wealthy business men OF
this city. whose daughter had died
from consumption, Is to erect such an
institution.
The announcement has already met
with favorable comment on the part of
those interested in the most progress
i've care and treatment of this class oi
unfortunates. Nothing has been more
clearly established than that this
dread disease tends To propagate itself
except under the most careful treat
ment. That those suffering from con
sumption in its advanced stages would
have life made far more pleasant for
lIeIl ny the treatment anu conditions

ID hope that the day is not distan

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The special cor
respondent of the Morning Post at
Pietermaritzburg says:

General Joubert will not command in

JOHANNESBURG,O Oct. 1.-THE COM
Wandering orders are completed and
the Burghers are ready for the field.
A large body passed through the town
yesterday afternoon.
Business has virtually ceased. The
merchants have finished barricading
their premises and the proprietors OF
the drinking saloons expect to receive
a notification to close their estao-

A party of POO Germans has been
notified to leave and the Irish Corps,

lean, will go early in the week.
The mines are paying pound ($o)

Three trains filled with armed
Burghers for the Natal border were

THE commission will go to the 18TH

the winter there, studying the situa-

Speaking of the visit of the commit

Walker said:
I'VE visited the Kiel Canal, and from
there we made a tour of inspection to
the North Sea Canal, Amsterdam
After looking over this waterway we
went to see the Manchester Ship Canal.
We looked fully into the hydraulic and
electric power and the locks. Some OF
the things we saw will probably be

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
They Are Discovered on the Shores
of Hudson's Bay.

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn), Oct. 1.-The
Times publishes letter from cor
respondent at Fort Francis, Ontario,
under date of September 10th, which
says:
Ungavaland, a region as desolate and
unknown as the Klondike was four
years ago, has just been penetrated
by party of prospectors and by a
newspaper man of this region, and con-
sisting of the most part of men rep
resenting a wealthy Boston syndicate.
From their reports and from state
ments made by a member of the Cana
dian Geological Survey, whom they
found in that region, they have run
into a new Klondike, and one richer in
diversified minerals. of larger extent
and easy to reach, compared to the
ice deserts of the Yukon.
About a year ago J. A. Osborne, edi-
tor of a newspaper of this region, be-
came the possessor of a diary that had
been the records of an old employe of
the Hudson Bay Company. He was
astonished to find it told circumstan-
TALLY of the discovery of mineral de-.
posits on the eastern shores of Hudson
Bay, north from the Whale River, in
what is known as Ungavaland, one of
the last remaining unexplored tracts of
the North American land. Mr.. Os-
borne had no difficulty in inducing Bos-
ton capitalists to provide the funds to
equip an expedition to explore for the
mineral fields
Before returning the party found
large and valuable deposits of gold,
silver, copper iron, anthracite and lig-
mite, gypsum and cinnabar. On what
tracts the party discovered mineral

THE BoER VIEW.
Young and Old Are Fully Deter
mined to Fight.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Daily Tel
egraph" publishes a dispatch from Pre-
toria giving the Boer view of the sit
uation. Its correspondent says:
Young and old are fully determined to
fight, whatever may be said to the
contrary. Large numbers Of English
and other Uitlanders have enrolled
themselves in defense of their adopted
country.
THE highest Government officials
throw all the blame of hostilities on
the British Government. They would
gladly avoid war if that were posi-
BILE, and they could have done SO, they
say, had there been a grain of friend
liness in the British dispatches. Even
now, President Kruger would person
ally appeal to the Queen and Lord Sal
isbury, but that such an act would be
construed as weakness"
CAPE TOWN, Oct. 2.-The Beers are
reported to be threatening Kimberly
which, however, owing to the presence
of the imperial volunteers and the
usual guards for the miners, is con-
sidered quite safe.

NARROW STRIP OF NATAL.
Will be the Center of the Coming
Storm.

LONDON, Oct From all points
in the Transvaal, Natal and Cape
Colony come reports of continued mill
tary activity on the frontiers and,
while the movement of individual COM
mands as yet do not show concocted
plans, it is evident that the narrow
strip of Natal, whose apex is crowned
with the ominousIy named Mahjubi
Hill, will be the center of the coming
storm.
Late yesterday the Beers established
a camp at Cheeper's Mex, near Vry-
held. and they will mobilize a great
force on the Buffalo River tomorrow,
which the authorities at Dundee ex-
pect will move across the border to
that spot, probably at once. It is be-
lieved that conflict at this point viii
certainly occur early in the week.
At the same time, the Beers are col
lecting a force of two thousand men,

In the meantime Colonel Plummer's
column is moving fifty miles nearer the
Transvaal frontier, and has established
telephone connections to within six

popo.
Enthusiastic scenes at all the railway
stations have marked the advance of
the Natal volunteers.
Dispatches from Mafeking announce
that Commandant Cronje, commander
Of the Transvaal border police, crossed
the border and visited Chief Baralolga,
apparently with the object of melting
him to fight. The British Civil Com
missioner ordered the chief to stay and
protect the women and children. telling
him that he would not be allowed to
fight.
The Beers openly threaten to raid

soon as hostilities open, and the kim

referred to the Transvaal crisis, say
ing:
War is still trembling in the bal.
ance and a great responsibility rests
upon those deputed to safeguard th7
welfare of the British nation. An IN
just or an unnecessary war would be
a great national crime, deserving Di-
vine chastisement, because it would be
an offense against God and mankind
Realizing the awfulness of war, the
Catholic churches in London are to-
day offering prayers to Almighty God
that light and strength and courage b.
given to those responsible for the in
terests of the nation, and that they
may be led to what is right and just.

GREAT UNEASINESS.
Massing of the Beers Near the
Frontier Causes It.

MAFEKING, Oct 1-G1eat uneasi-
ness exists here over the massing Of
the Beers near the frontier. At a
largely attended meeting to-day Mr.
Kosle, former Mayer, and other
speakers, complained that the imperial
authorities were negleoting to pro-
vide proper protection for the inhabi-
tants, as this border is much more ex-
posed than the Natal border. The
Beers, backed with artillery, could in
wade the town in q few hours. Many
women, children and refugees, the
speakers pointed out, were thus placed
in a position of great danger
The meeting unanimously adopted a
resolution TO send a telegram to the
British High Commissioners, Sir Alfred
Miner, praying further protection.
