Der of the profession, Friday. 1T IS
simply amusing to see the joy person
will cxprcGs when you tell them you
cannot fill a tooth at once. but to call
again at some stated time. When that
time arrives they are just as ready
to postpone longer. They doubtless ne
Iieve that as they have passed over the
day 50 easily, their courage Will be
greater at the next call.

BAlFOUR'S SPEECH
In Reference to the Anglo.
Boer Dispute.
intim ates That the British Govern
ment Has Small Hopes OF
Maintaining Peace.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A Sun cable
from London says: The freedom OF
the city of Dundee was presented to- the
Right Honorable Arthur ]. Balfour,
First Lord of the Treasury and Gov
eminent leader in the House of Com
speech accepting the honor Balfour
referred to the Anglo-Boer dispute
and intimated that the Government
had small hope of a peaceful solution
British Government had been long
suffering and had displayed great mod
Grafton. 1t had striven long, earnest
ly and conscientiously to arrive at a
peaceful solution. III the solution now
was not peaceful, the fault would not
rest with Great Britain.
He added that he had not abandoned
all hope of peace. but he was compelled
to speak in very different tones from
what he could have used a month or
even a fortnight ago. Successive gov
ernments since 1884 had striven Loyalty
and patiently to manage affairs in
South Africa consistently with the in
ternal independence of the Transvaal
and the rights of Great Britain as the
paramount power. Ii had been no easy
task. If the Transvaal had been will
ing to treat English settlers as Eng
lish colonists treated Dutch settlers.
peace and racial amity would have
been secured. but the leaders of the
Dutch had consistently and without in
PERMISSION pursued Numerically OPP
posite policy. A point had now been
reached when apparently the Dutch
leaders refused to give way. where
Great Britain could not and would not
give way because her interests in South
Africa and civilization and national
honor made such course impossible.
Balfour repudiated the foreign sug-
gestion that the Government was actu-
ated by a desire to seize Dutch terri
tory in South Africa. No such wretch
ed pitiful ambition, he said. had ever
animated any public man OF any party.
The speech throughout was enthusiasts
tically applauded.

Dattleships OF the North Atlantic squa-
dron To the trim little launches. and
hundreds more will figure. The task
~ keeping them in order will be a
most difficult one. but IL is tn the hands
OF Fighting Bob Evans. who has
-gTeed to police the parade. and his
name seems an assurance OF success.
New York was never so crowded.
There Is not n single hotel or rooming
house in the city which has n single
apartment left. and thousands OF pri-
vate houses have been temporarily
converted into hotels. Hundreds of
trains have poured into the town to-
day. and every one has been filled with
passengers. The estimates OF the num-
Der OF visitors in the city tonight vary
from 100000 to. 100000. A big
crowd will come tomorrow. and IL Is
freely predicted that in the neighbor-
hood of 1000. 900 people will line the
shores of Manhattan and Staten ISL
ands and the Jersey shore. The as
semblage promises to be one of the
most notable In the history OF the
world.
Tonight the principal thoroughfares
were simply congested. and street rail-
way traffic was seriously impeded. The
decorations are the most elaborate that
were ever undertaken. The Dewey
arch at Madison Square Is not yet
fully completed. but its beauty shows
out through the scaffolding that still
partially surrounds IL.
There is scarcely n building of any
size or Importance in the city tnat Is
not decorated. There Is bunting ey-
erywhere. IL waves in every street.
The picture OF Dewey Is ever present.
II is shown in house windows. dis
played by shops and hangs from build
ing fronts. Nothing half so good was
ever done before. II all marks a pa
triotic epoch.
The naval parade will give Admiral
Dewey a slight rest, for today he was
fairly besieged. He received Generals
Miles and Merritt. Governor Roosevelt.
half a dozen rear admirals. a score of
naval commanders. half n dozen dele
cations and Populations. and either
bowed or shook hands with about So
600 enthusiastic Americans.
