impending War.

London, Aug. 29-The feeling is
general here that the Transvaal dis
pute has reached a final stage. Mat
tiers must change Immediately for the
better or there will be war. Advices
from Capetown say that British troons
are being sent to occupy strategic,l
points to await developments. The
tension at the Cape is extreme. AL
though the Orange Free Safe has an,
nounced that it will maintain strict
neutrality in the event Of hostilities be
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal,
the increased importation of arms for
that country eXcites much suspicion.
The opinion is freely expressed that any
war will be race war involving all
South Africa.
All the afternoon papers comment on
the Cspetown dispatch OF yesterday
stating that the Transvaal would adj
here 10 its latest offer and refused to
make further concessions. Just what
this offer is has not been officially an
nounced though it is understood that
Kruger has offered TO grant the five
year franchise if England will relin-
quish suZeraintyiover the Transvaal.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Pres
ident Kruger's adherence to such an
offer will bring things to an early head.
The Westminster Gazette admits the
country is in sight of war which may
shortly be as unavoidable as it would
be inexcusahle. Peace advocates are
making a vigorous campaign in the
newspapers. An official statement
which will more clearly define the stu
alton is impatiently awaited.

EVERY BODY ia glad the butchers in
New York have succeeded in organ
izing an association to buy and kill
their own cattle and sheep. SO as to
enable them to compete successfully
with the western meat trust. The lat
Ser has great advantage in the matter
of freight, to be sure, as while one car
can carry only twenty live cattle, it can
carry sixty dead ones; but still, the ex
tortionate rate the trusts puts upon its
meat, naturally engenders the hope
that the competition referred to may at
least be sufficient to make it moderate
its burdensome eXactions.

good care to conceal their opposition;
so good, that nobody believes they have
any. The solid business men OF the
South. like all the other sorts of white
men of their section, are democrats,
and, being such, they willingly and
cheerfully submit to the will OF the
majority of their party, and that ma.
iority being overwhelmingly in favor
of Bryan, they, like good democrats,
are so too. But, Mr., Willett is as I'M

The service in the Anglican Church at

conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Garth,
OF Narragansett, R. l., who in the
course of his sermon denied the divine
inspiration of the Bible. He asserted
his belief that the Bible was no more
divinely inspired than the writings OF
shakespeare, George Eliot, or any 9th
er great writer. The story of Adam
and Eve, he said, was legend impos
-ible to believe. The sermon created a

other wise should say that he belonged

~HE San Francisco Call tells Of a
novel marriage which has just
taken place in California. 1t has
been contended that there is nothing
new under the sun, but surely there
never could have been a case before
where a man married his wife's mother
1t seems that Michael Fabritsky of
San Francisco had been divorced from
his first wife. Later he was arrested
on a charge of hitting his mother-in-
law in the eye. The case was called in
police court, when the prosecuting wit
ness blushingly declared that hostilities
were at an end. Pressed for an explain
alton, she declared that she had mar
ried her son-in-law.
Those with plenty of leisure might
spend a few hours in a less harmful
manner than they might in some other
ways by figuring out what relationship
Michael Fabritsky bears to himself. Is
he his own step-father or is he his own
stepson? In case a son is born as a
result of this curious marriage would
Michael be step-brother to his own son?
And would Mrs. Fabritsky be grand
mother ito her own son? These are
problems which grow more bewilder-
ing the longer they are studied.
