Why the acceptance was delayed is shown by the dispatches published. l wish to thank you and other friends once more. from my heart for the manner in which you have aided our efforts for pacific and satisfactory solution. Finally, I express the hope that your work and ours will not be fruitlesS."
 The meeting also adopted a resolution to the effect that it had heard with satisfac- ton that the executive of the Transvaal had accepted the invitation of the jonst inquiry, and trusted the acceptance would render an outbreak of hostilities practically impossible. sr.
 A message from Pretoria says:
 eneral Joubert the Boer commander-in- chief is quoted as saying in an interview:
 'The situation Is serious. Probably the heaviest fighting would occur on the Ma tal border The British are likely to at tempt to; invade the Transvaal by why;-of' the Van Reinans pass"

 Portion Would Be Anti-British
 Sir John Gordon Sprigg, leader of the op- position in the Cape house of assembly. and former premier and treasurer of Cape Colony. in the course of an interview to- day, said
 ''I have no doubt that a portion of the population of Cape Colony would be active ly anti-British in the event of war. I do not anticipate a rising, but some of the young and impulsive Afrikanders would probably show their sympathy by joining the Boer forces In my judgment the pro- ceedings of the meeting of the Afrikander members of the Cape parliament were in- judicious. No mention was made of any sympathy with those who would suffer while fighting on the British side. It is impossible that those who are doing their most to uphold British authority should conceive anything in the nature of a tirement from the position adopted by the imperial government. Any weakness would be fatal to the future maintenance of British authority in South Africa"
 Harcourt's Speech IIl-Advised
 Referring to the speech of Sir William Vernon Harcourt last evening in New Tredegar, Eng, Sir John decided 1t 'ill ad- yised and injudicious" especially at the present juncture. In his opinion Har courts assertion that Great Britain could not claim general sovereignty when she had only partial suzerainty would do more than anything else to encourage disaffec- ton.
 ''I would remind the British public" said Sir John "that Sir William Vernon Harcourt was a member of the government really responsible for all the political toubles in South Africa since 1SS1."

height. The lower floor and as much
of the other as may be needed will be
devoted to the offices of the company as
soon as the new one is completed. The
old building will remain where it is and
will be used as a warehouse, adding
one more to the many the company al
ready has The plans for the entire
building. which are being drawn by
local architect, are not yet complete,
though the main points have been de-

will have the most modern fixtures
throughout.
Contractor Fred. Harrison is at work
today preparing for the foundation. The
big hagpole in front of Hackfeld q

a fence, extending to half way across
the sidewalks, is being constructed to
enclose the building operations. This
leaves half the sidewalk for the public
to use, while the building is going on.

SACRIFICE TO THE ENGINE GOD.

TO THE ENGINE GOD.
India is a country where the gross
SuperStitiOns prevailing among the ma
tives frequently produce the most hor-
rible and incOnceivable tragedies. Many
of these are done in secret, but now
and then they come to light and give
startling reminder to the Englishman
in India that East is east and west is
west, and never the twain shall meet
In the up-COuntry town of Hingoli, in
the Deccan, is cotton ginning mill
owned by natives. One of the proprie-
tors, a Parsee named NOwrojee, looks
after the engines and machinery of the
mill Lately the machinery has not
been working well, and the engine in
particular has given considerable trou-
BILE. The native engineers seem to have
got it into their heads that the engine
was really driven by a god which took
the form of steam When it went
wrong they thought the god was angry
and needed propitiating by the sacri-
flee of a human being. One night a
Hindoo laborer named Govindah was
passing the mill. Some workmen, sit
ting in the yard smoking, called out to
him to join them. The gang had just
been discussing the Vagaries of the en-
CINE and the necessity for offering
sacrifice to ii. The whole party walked
toward the boiler, and some of the men
seized Govindah. Others swung open
the furance door and the unfortunate
man was crammed inside, head first.
They had to loose their hold of his body
in order to shut the furnace door,
whereupOn GoVindah. who was a very
powerful man, managed to get out and
free himself. He was frenZied with pain
and fear and had sustained CHASTITY in
juries. The engineers did not make a
second attempt to thrust him in the
furnace. and he crawled away TO his
hut.-Chicago Record.
