Johns Episcopal church, where the
Episcopal special ceremony Of prayer
and thanksgiving for the crown Of VIC
tory for our arms and for the safe re-
turn from sea vas conducted by tho
Rev. DR.. Mackey Smith, the rector.
The rector in his sermon made no
allusion to the admiral, but impress
sively delivered the two formal pray
ers Of the ritual at the request OF tho
admiral. One of these gave thanks
to Almighty God, the sovereign COM
mander Of all the world. for all the
victories and deliverances OF the last
two years" The other. to which the
entire congregation bowed earnestly,
offered thanks 'for conducting in
safety through the perils of the great
week this worthy servant who now
desireth to return his thanks unto Thee
in Thy holy church." In accordance
with the prescribed service the
was no response or expressed partici-
patton in these prayers. The admiral

The admiral spent the afternoon In

ton friends.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Admiral
Dewey has elected to accept a house
In Washington, already constructed,
instead OF having one built for his oc-
supation. In compliance with the invi-
tation OF the committee which has In
charge the Dewey home work he called
at the Office OF Acting Secretary Allen
In tho Navy department at IL o'clock
today. to indicate his preferences In
the matter OF a residence. There were
present, besides Mr.. Allen, Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip. Assistant Post
master General Heath and General
Corbin.
The admiral was officially informed
Of the purpose of the people Of the
United States to present him with q
home In Washington. He frankly ex-
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He
said. had the proposed home been tho
gift Of a few wealthy men. he should
feel i~ndisposed to accept IL. But he
understood the fund had over $4,000
subscribers. indicating that the home
was really to be the gift of the Amer
lean people, and as such he would ac-
cept 1t with as much pleasure as he
had the sword bestowed upon him by
congress. He then talked upon the
location OF the residence.

LONDON, Oct. 10-tNew York World
C~ablegram. There Is a distinct pause
In the Anglo-Boer crisis. Military
preparations are being pressed on, but
the belief that peace will be ultimately
secured Is noticeably increasing.
This theory received great encour-
agement today from the words Of the
due Of Devonshire, who expressed the
hope that the present interval for re-
Election would continue to a pacific set
Element"
The Times correspondent on the Be-
chanaland border, who has Just re-
turned from q tour among tho Boer
commanders, says the one essential
to secure a peaceful adjustment would
be to convince the Beers that there
was no intention to interfere with their
independence. This admission Is
looked upon as highly significant In
the columns of that Journal, which has
led the al In shrieking for war.
Negotiations with President Steyne
OF the Orange Free State, news Of
which was first given in these dis
patches Of Sunday, have been result
less SO far. Chamberlain offered to
give an undertaking to Steyne that the
hheAo WouAh NV NioiatC II llaao-
vaal frontier pending negotiations II
the Beers would give q similar under
taking In response to British territory.
Steyne asked as a further condition
that meanwhile the British forces on
the Transvaai frontiers should not be
increased. This Chamberlain refused
point blank.
So the matter stands. But as three
~nnnthc nppct alanpa hafnra thu IlritiGn
army corps can be ready to advance
on Pretoria, there will be plenty of
time for further negotiations.
Delay is mainly due to the utter
breakdown Of the transport depart
ment, which has proved quite unequal
to the emergency created by Cham
berlain's headlong diplomacy. He has
forced everything to the brink OF war
without any regard to military exigen-
cies, and the consequence Is that he
seems to have defeated his w object.
The situation promises to have far
reaching political developments. The
earl Of Roseberry, former leader OF the
liberal party. who has not delivered
O political speech in the House OF
Lords since his resignation OF the pre-
miership. was approached today by
LOTu WCeuiuOutu VI ucudil VI ga
Henry Campbell-Bannerma the pres
ent leader. Roseberry expressed a
general concurrence in Bannerman's
view, that while the redressal of put
lander grievances was imperative,
Chamberlain's bad diplomacy was re-
sponsible for the threatened war.
Rosebery purposes to speak on these
lines to the House Of Lords.
The real explanation of Kruger's re-
cent seizure Of $4,000, 600 in gold from
the Rand is that three weeks ago the
Transvaal government drew $4,000, 900
in gold from the Bank of England for
shipment to Transvaal and Kruger
was advised by his agents In this u
try that this money ran risk OF seiz-
ure at the Cape by British authorities.
So he Immediately seized Rand gold
to twice the amount as hostage.

SECRETARY WILSON ON CORN.

Crop This fenr VIII DE One OF tho
Heaviest In Our History.
CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-"This years
corn crop will be one of the largest
In our history" said Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson, who is in
Chicago with the presidential party,
today. THE total yield, II is estimat-
ed. will be between 2,30e, 900, 900 and
$500, 900, 900 bushels.
Where stock Is to be found the
corn will be fed, unless the price be
high. A considerable percentage OF the
crop will be cribbed, as the farmers
generally are we'll of and are getting
good prices for their products, so they
can afford to hold their corn crop.
Meats are likely to be high, be-
cause In the LAST few years our popu-
latlon has grown faster than the meat
producing animals. Then injudicious
grazing on the semi-arid regions Of
the west has been destructive and
many Of these range states do OF have
over so per cen of the animals they
had fifty years ago. A steady demand
outside Of the United States for first
class meats In the quarters and on the
hoof, and a growing demand, not on
ly across the Atlantic, but In the
tries In and around the Pacific, for
American canned meats, Is playing an
important part In influencing high
prices. The demand is growing in the
orient for animal products and grow
ing rapidly.
THE British, In the Transvaal war,
should 1t occur, will want our canned
meats. They could not use our re-
frigerated meats over there and In or
der to feed their soldiers as we'll as
the United States feeds here they
would have to take the quarters to
Cape Of Good Hope In refrigerating
vessels and then establish a plant for
caring for chilled meats similar to the
one the United States has at Manila.
They must have canned meats and
they must come to Chicago to get
them.
"All this talk we have heard about
embalmed beef will not change this
order of feeding troops. They may
avoid the kinds that do not have sslt
in them. known as canned roast beef,
and this may result in salt being used
In this preparation, but the fact re
mains that armies require canned
when they cannot get chilled beef.
The United States is the only country
prepared to supply IL and the growing
demand or 1t in all quarters Of tho
globe will help to keep up the price
OF meats"

MORLEY on the SITUATION.

LONDON, Oct. 7.-Addressing a
peace meeting at Carnavon this even
ing, John Morley asked the country
to realize the predicament to which
1t had been brought by unhappy d.
plomacy and the bedlamite counsels
OF the war press and the war party.
"If." said Mr.. Morley. president
Kruger had accepted the franchise
proposal OF September s, with reliance
upon the convention OF 1884. he would
have been planted behind diplomatic
entertainments which by fair and
reasonable means could not have been
forced. Even after that refusal there
was still for friendly settlement,
but just as the Transvaal made a mis-
take Il government capped 1t by
withdrawing the franchise proposals"
Mr.. Morley dwelt upon the season.
