LETTER FROM THE BOER GENERAL.
Joubert Writes to n Friend in England
About the Transvaal Crisis.

Special Gable Despdtch 10 TER Sun.
LONDON. Oct. 10.-Dr. Gavin Brown Clark.
Member OF Parliament for Caithness and for
merly Consul General OF the South African
Republic. has received a letter. dated Sept. 1S.
from Commandant- General and Vice President
Joubert OF the Transvaal, expressing the fear
that before tho letter reached it's destination
"Chamb erlain's war-flre will have burst upon
our unhappy country"
The writer adds: 1T 10 perfectly clear to us
that the whole affair Ia not to remedy the grew
ances OF tho Uitlanders but the grievances OF
Rhodes, Jameson and Chamberlain" He de-
clares that Mr.. Cham berlains last despatch
was DOM municated to tho English mem beers OF
the South African League at johannesburg
before 1t was presented to President KRUGER,
and that the league has since been doing It's
utmost to force a collision.
He afflrms that the Beers do not desire war.
They know that they are no match for the
powerful armies OF Great Britain. but he adds.
whom God works there Is no need for poor
people to be numerous or courageous.
In an interview Dr. Clark who has intimate
and friendly knowledge OF the Transvaal. said
that tho ultmatum was ready week ago.
He had hoped that 1t would be kept until
Parliament met. He was convinced that hos
tilities would initiate a race war. The Govern
ment OF Cape Colony could not adhere to it's
anomalous position OF neutrality In conclu-
sion. DR.. Clark said that II would be more diff
cult than Is generally believed to capture Pre-
toria. Tho city was strongly fortified. Field
guns would be useless. and 1t would be neces-
sary to employ siege guns to reduce the place.

It takes princess to revive a fash ion. The spinning wheel of our grand- mothers is coming into fashion again. It is not as necessary as if was in their days, but on the other hand, its dec orating qualities are recognized better now than then.
 No less a person than the princess of Wales has set the fashion of reviving the spinning wheel. She is adored by all England, and what she, does is sure to be copied. The fashionable maids and matrons of this country are not likely to lose time in adopting he fash ion, and in proving at the same time their respect for the royal example.
 The princess eldest daughter the duchess of Fife, is also addicted to the spinning wheel; and so are number of other members of the numerous royal family of England.
 Many other women of rank who en- jcy the friendship of the princess have Loyalty followed her example, and it is through some of them that tht British public has learned that the picturesque spinning wheel is now a common object in the homes of the great.
