London, Oct. 3.-A dispatch from Dur
ban, Natal, announces that the Beers are
expected to take aggressive steps today.
The most alarming rumors are ahoat there
respecting their intentions.
The day has been passed in invention
and contradiction of rumOrs oil an out

the situation is unchanged. The British
reserves are liable to be called out before
the end OF the week and the Beers are al
ready under arms and are not likely to
disband without fighting.

settled, in spite of numerous contradictory
rumors. Mr. Wyndham, the under sec
rotary OF war, returned to London today

not likely to be brought on before the

McKinley's western trip which begins to-
morrow, promises to be the most extensive

The plans were at first simply to attend
the cornerstone ceremonies in Chicago, but
for several weeks they have been enlarg-
ing, in answer to the pressure Of the west

to rival some Of those big political tours
made by Governor Mckinley in 1892 and
1894. The Chicago committees by their
pickering have aided in this, for the pres
ident, having decided to go west, did not
propose to allow any failure of Chicago
plans to prevent him from going west to
meet the people. He accepted invitations
from many cities in the west, and it is safe
to say that several million western people

THE WORLDS GRAsARY.
Britain Wants All Supplies She Can


Chicago, Sept. 29.-The Record says:
American horses will drag English am
munition wagons and heavy artillery over
the plains OF the Transvaaf in the event
Great Britain and the Beers clash arms.
Orders came from London yesterday TO
firm OF horse dealers at the Union stock
yards to buy up all the l200-pound gun
ners" the western market afforded, and
make arrangements for immediate ship
ment. Stress was laid upon the fact that
animals were wanted for the impending
South African campaign and the telegram
was marked rush" and imperative"
The horse market at the yards was
stirred by the news. Telegraph orders
were flashed to breeders in Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Iowa for reservations of choice
stock with the expectation that the first
consignment will leave Chicago for Eng
land the latter part of the week.
The specifications that must be adhered
to in the selection Of the artillery horses
dealers say will make the filling Of such
a wholesale order somewhat difficult Ct
accomplishment at this time. The prices
which the British government set as a
limit range from $40 to $l25 head One
firm declared that the extra high standard
needed would mean a practical cornerine
of choice stock if a consignment as heavy
as 500 horses was made.

Free State of which hitherto there was
only strong probability, an absolute GER

dramatic coach. The play has not as yet
been cast, and may even now be turned
down, though as the date for production
has been set for somewhere near the mid

is little time left for choosing, as rehear-

players WI have their hands full at that

The Players Club consists of about
forty members of a combination of the
various younger SETS of Jersey Citss,
and while, in all probability, there win be
some new stars brought forth in the COM

TRENTON, Jan. 7, 1SsS.-State Road
Commissioner Buddh has received from the
printer the advance proof sheets of the
annual report he has prepared for submits
sion to the Legislature. Mr.. Budd's re-
port contains a review of road building in
New Jersey under the State aid law, DUR

and recommendations. The number of

325 the mileage of permanent roads con-
structed since the State began contribut-
ing towards the cost of road building,
and does not include the roads built by
counties and and townships without State
aid.
The eighty-five miles of road built last
year, and the States share of the cost of
the same, are divided up among the
counties as follows.-
