PARTY STRIVING
TO AVERT WAR


CAPE TOWN, Sept. 21.-At a meet
ing of the Afrikander members of the
Parliament, yesterday Mr.. Neethling
presiding, the following telegram was
dispatched to President Kruger:
We, the Afrikander members of Par
lament, thoroughly sympathize with
our Afrikander relatives in their
troubles. While appreciating the con-
cessions already made in the interests
of peace, we beg to urge the expedi-
ency of doing the utmost, short of sac
rificing independence, to avert the hor-
rors of war. While agreeing that the
joint inquiry proposed by Mr. Cham
berlain cannot be asked as a matter of
right, we believe such a commission
will provide a way out of the diff
culties which are fast approaching a
crisis, with results which might prove
fatal not only to the Transvaal and
Free State brethren. but also to the
Afrikander party of Cape Colony. In
the presence of immediate danger and
the momentous issues awaiting the de-
cision of your honor, the Executive and
the Volksraad, even at the risk of be-
ing misunderstood, is of minor import
ance. We beg your honor to lay these
words, dictated only by a keen sense of
our common interests and risks, pri-
vately before the Executive and Volks-
raad."
This message, which was signed by
fifty-three members of the Parliament,
received the following reply from
President Kruger:
II wish you and other sympathizers
will notice, as you have doubtless al
ready seen by the reply of the Imperial
Government, that we have, according
to your desire, considered the matter
and accepted the invitation to the Joint
commission Why the acceptance was
delayed is shown by the dispatches
published. / wish to thank you and
all other friends once more from my
heart for the manner in which you
have aided our efforts for pacific and
satisfactory solution. Finally, | ex-
press the hope that your work and
ours will not be fruitless."
The meeting also adopted resolution
to the effect that it had heard with
satisfaction that the Executive of the
Transvaal had accepted the invitation
to the joint inquiry and trusted the
acceptance would render an outbreak
of hostilities practically impossible.

WASSERMAN, KAUFMAN 6 co.


at the Otsego County Fair at Coopers
town, said: Il transacted one piece Of
business to-day that may be of inter
est to you of the Grand Army. I see
by the press a statement that there
has been some hitch in the arrange,
ments of the parade to meet Dewey
and I telegraphed to the Major Gen
eral commanding the National Guarc
of this State that the G. A. r. is tC
have the right of position or anything
it wants in the parade. If I can bring
it about I am going to have the heroes
of the great war occupy the foremost
position"
Governor Roosevelt is General Roe's
superior officer, and the Grand Army
will probably march in the place OF
honor.

LOVE ACQUITTED.
Found Not Guilty of Presenting a
Fraudulent Claim.

MARYSVILLE, Sept. 21.-In the case
Of the people VS.. H. II. Love, late ex-
pert to the Grand Jury, who was
charged with having presented a fraud
ulent claim for his services against the
county of Yuba in connection with his
employment as expert, the jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty this ev-
ening.
There still remains another case
against Love on charge of the same
nature, embracing time alleged to have
been irregularly charged for by him
during the month of March of the
present year.
Love admitted on the witness stand
that he had perjured himself in the
testimony he gave before the Board of
Supervisors in support of the claim
for fraudulent presentation of which
he had just been acquitted, but he
claimed that he did SO as a matter of
expediency, and for the best interests
of the county.
The verdict rendered was not unex-
pected, owing to the fight now going
on between the different factions in this
county.

DECLARED A FAKE.
The Fight Between Sammy Max
well and Cocker Tweedie.

STOCKTON, Sept. 21.-Lovers of
ring fighting were rudely shocked to-
night when Cocker Tweedie, the Aus
tralian, was knocked out by Sammy
Maxwell of Los Angeles in the opening
of the second round. The audience,
which only partly filled the Avon The
ater, cried fake, and so it looked to a
large number. Charley Oliver, one of
the club managers, was referee, and
declared all bets off on the ground that
it was a fake.
Tweedie had his right hand up to
his face guarding when Maxwell got in
a right hook on the chin, and the Aus
tralian went down, but did not fall as
he should. When helped to his corner he
seemed dazed a bit, but with the ex-
ception of the San Francisco fellows
who were backing Maxwell as one of
their own, the decision was accepted
as right
Oliver afterward announced that the

A Hotel Steward Gets Into Trouble
at Stockton.

STOCKTON, Sept. 21.-Four checks
for $75 each, and all signed by a sup
posed fictitious party who had no funds
at the bank, were offered for collection
at the Stockton Savings Bank this
morning, but were not paid, though in
dorsed by we'll known business men.
They were cashed for various sums un-
der their face except in one case by
a man named Parker, who is known
here as a hotel steward. The checks
were made payable to one G. S. Parker,
and bore that Endorsement. The man
who distributed them was intoxicated
yesterday, and his friends are trying
to square it on that ground and will
pay up the several amounts realized.
It is recognized as only case of
obtaining money by false pretences,
and may not be prosecuted. Parker is
said to be here yet.

club would pay the winning end of the
purse of $500 to Maxwell, but stuck
to his decision declaring bets off.
Tim McGrath, who trained Sharkey,
was second for Tweedie, and made pub
lie announcement that If it was a fake
he did not know it and regretted that
he came here anyhow. The affair has
excited sportdom, but the majority who
paid for admission agree that it was
a fake.
Later the San Joaquin Athletic Asso-
citation declared the fight fake ana
announced that it would not pay either
of the principals.
The preliminary was between Ben
Maxwell of Stockton and another color
ed man from San Francisco named
Henry Lewis, which was easily won
