AN ULTIMATUM IS SENT

London, Oct. 4.-The most sensat tional
news from South Africa this morning is
a reiteration Of yesterdays report Of the
acquisition by the Transvaal authori-
ties of $500,00O in gold, which was on the
way to Cape Town from Johannesburg.
There is nothing very tangible in to-
days war news but the situat ation remains
as strained as ever.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the dis
tinguished liberal statesman, has another
slashing attack in to-day's paper upon
che policy of Chamberlain He reit-
crates his original statement that Cham
berlan's assertion that the Transvaal re-
fused to redress the grievances of the
Outlanders is the reverse of the case and
insists that Great Britain is responsible
for "Slamming the door in the face of
President Kruger just when arrange
ments We're approaching settlement"

Late News Received.

London, Oct. 4.-There is a well authen-
ticated report that a large force of Beers
is assembled al Selk, at the junction Of
Crocodile and Pongola rivers, evidently
with the object of destroying the railway
The report regarding the extent of the
Boer artillery is probably exaggerated, as
it is believed the burghers possess few
guns and it is unlikely they would dis
mantle their forts in order to take the
garrison pieces to the front
Military authorities estimate there are
now 50 900 Beers in the field.
Late advices from Capatown this after
noon indicate widespread impression
there that unless the Beers begin hostiii-
ties by Thursday they will not fight. but
yield to the imperial demands when for
mulated.
Orders have been Issued from Pretoria
closing all saloons in the gold fields. The
Transvaal goyeTnnlen. has taken over the
Perreira mines and all mines in the gold
fields. \ group of five of the Eckstein
mines have been closed.

British Are Satisfied.

London, Oct. 4.-The momentary disap-
pointment that the first days contest
for the Americas cup should have re-
suited in no race. has been followed by a
feeling of satisfaction that the Sham
rock has shown herself a worthy chal-
lenger and hope runs high that she will
wipe out a long record Of defeat. Among
yachtsmen great admiration is expressed
for the way in which Captain Hogarth
is reported to have handled the yacht.
The afternoon papers comment in much
the same terms as the morning papers.
All think the chances for the Shamrock
and the Columbia are about equal and
all are gratified at the extreme friendli-
ness displayed by the Americans.

BunkO Man Escapes.

Pittsburg, Oct. 4.--Detectives and police
of this city are on the lookout for John
Green, the bunko artist, who ESCAPED
from the Greensburg Jail last night This
is the man who was arrested by John r.
Norris. the Ohio seuth, who had the
trouble over the prisoner with Sheriff
A. F. keyes, of Walla Walla, Wash.
Green and two companions escaped by
saving a heavy iron bar from Green's
cell on the second tier of cells in the pris-
on, which enabled them to get into the
main corridor of the Jail. From there
they are said to have used blanket
torn into strips to drop them through an
air shaft to the basement. A heavy iron
plate covering the air shaft in the base
ment was removed. which enabled them
to reach point near the engine room.
Green offered Thomas McDermott, the
engineer, $500 if he would open a window
that would enable them to escape. The ~
ginefr is alleged to have started to no.

A crazy Couple.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4.-The elderly
East Hartford couple. Ferdinand Riggs
and wife, who have gone crazy and have
barrcaded themselves in their home, re-
main undisturbed by the authorities, and
continue to drive away all visitors.
1t has been wondered what they could
find to eat, for they have not been out of
their house for two weeks now. This
question has been solved, however by
the disappearance of their horse The
animal was sick several days ago and
it is now learned from the neighhors that
they have killed it and are living upon
it's carcass.
It was at first believed that Riggs had
died or been killed by his insane wife
but he was seen at window yesterday
This morning an old pocket cur from
mans coat was discovered nailed under
the sign on the gatepost, which begs for
lntercessiOn with Divine powers to avert
the calamity which the couple believes
hangs over their household and il is
supposed to be placed there as an appeal
for contributions. though the couple own
their home and have money in bank, A
nelghbor persisted in knocking on the
door for long time today and it was
suddenly thrown open by the woman
who beat the caller over the head with

A stranger who stopped there late
this afternoon for drink of water was
shot at.

Politics the Cause.
"(Signed)

Frankfort, Ky, Oct, 4.-Pat McInerny
of Covington, but at present guard IN
the Frankfort penitenitentiary, got INTO
a difficulty at 10 o'clock last night with
Charles E. Noonan of this city. which
resulted in Noonan being shot in the
shoulder by McInerny. The wound was
probed and found not dangerous by DR.
Wallace, and the bullet found and eX-
tracted Mc1nerny, who is lame, says
Noonan started at him with a knife and
he shot him in self-defense. Noonan,
who was formerly detective and police
man, and well known to everybody in
Frankfort, says McInerny shot him for
nothing.
Those who saw the two men quarrel
ing just before the shooting occurred say
that both men had been drinking, and
that they got mad about politics, al
though both are democrats.
Mclnerny was arrested and placed in
Jail, but will probably be released on
bond before morning. Mclnerny is a
brother of Hon. w. ID. McInerny, for
merly in the Legislature from Kenton

Comment on the Decision

London, Oct. 4.--The Morning Post in
commenting on the Venezuelan award
expresses the opinion that the matter does
not altogether justify the principle of ar
bitration, especially the intervention of
third parties to impose arbitra ton AMI
concludes:
Before we can assent Internationally
that arbitration was the best solution we
should like to know what aibitra ton and
many years of diplomatic discussion have
cost and to compare the total with that
OF a reasonable estimate for such an eN-
pedition as could have settled the quar-
rel Is or 20 years ago."
The Standard makes similar comments
but more courteously and says:
Mr. Clevelands unmannerly interven-
tlOn did not harm us nor change Anglo
American relations since then. Not lit
tie is due to those American politicians
who realized that Mr.. Clevelands mes
sage was a mistake. The American peo-
pie may rest assured that we are quite
content with the decision and with the
means whereby it was reached. All con-
cerned in the arbitration are to be con-
graduated"
The Daily News says: "venezuela had
better have accepted Lord Aberdeen's Of
fer in 1884 or Lord Rosebery's in 1885,
1t is a brilliantly successful example Of
the way the nations ought to settle diff
ferences. Seldom has a blessing pro-
nounced upon peace makers been more
fully bestowed. BY yielding on a point
of dignity, if not of honor, Lord Salisbury
has secured the lasting friendship of the
United States and secured for a British
colony almost everything the coonists
really wished to retain. The award is an
epoch in the history Of mankind. and
Lord Salisbury should be congra tulate
both by his friends and opponents.
The Daily Chronicle regards the award
as fair compromise and says it sup
poses Lord Salisbury will be disposed to
make the best of a decision which brings
a long, tedious controversy to an end
There is no doubt, says the Chronicle
that the award will be welcomed by the
nation as whole.
The Daily Graphic says it trusts the
decision will be lesson to tail twisting
American jingoes
The Daily Telegraph thinks it will be
rather difficult not to realize retrospect
lively the excitement which the subject
caused three years ago and says that
compromise, which is the essence of ar
bitra ton, is the keynote of the award"
