The imperial organ Of the hu-
man system is the eye. All through
the Bible God eulogizes it; 534
times does that book speak Of the
eye. The eye is one OF the organs
most liable to render life miser-
able failure, a loathsome burden.
Loss OF sight is the very king OF
terrors, while an impairment OF
vision is CHASTITY source of anx-
iety, of constant dread, of sicken-
ing mental worry, to say never a
word OF acute physical anguish.
The defective eye always makes
itself manifest in one way or an
other. Headache, blurring, wink
ing, trembling, dizziness, inflam-
nation, granulation, smarting, all
OF which and many other symptoms
should be taken as warning OF
untold approaching misery. If
you have any disease of the eye,
ear, nose or throat, or catarrh, or
if you need glasses, do not fail to
take this rare opportunity to call
on DIR. kalmen c. Sapero, the era
inent physician and surgeon, who
is one of the most successful men
of the age in the treatment OF his
specialties, the eye. ear, nose,
throat and catarrh, and nervous
diseases. For years past he has
devoted his entire time to the dis
eases OF these organs, and his
fame has spread from coast to
coast as the most able practitioner.
Nor do patients need to be re-
ferred to strangers to learn Of the
truth of his ability, for right here
in this vicinity hundreds have
been benefited by his treatment.
He will be at the Park House

gard 10 the other points of Mr.. Cham
berlain's dispatch the Transvaal bold
ly stands by the London convention
is said that the reply is couched i,
polite terms.
The dispatch then gives what pur
ports TO be a summary of the reply
which is similar 10 the other forecasts
| concluding as follows: The TransvaaI
| feels at liberty 10 depart from the
| joint inquiry, which she accepted in
the bona fide belief that it would lead
! TO final settlement
The correspondent adds: Both the
| President and the Executive Council
are firmly convinced that no finality is
| intended and that further concessions
| would only postpone the struggle The
| TranSvaal regards herself as tricked
| into proposal by Mr.. Chamberlain
| The Orange Free State will certainly
stand by the Transvaal."
State Secretary Reitz, in the course
of an interview today, expressed some
doubt as to whether any alteration
would be made in the existing fran
chiSe law, but said he believed a way
should and could be found TO estab-
lish an arbitration court. AS to suze
rainty, the least said the soonest mend
ed, remarked the State Secretary.
In the forecasts of President Kru-
gers reply there is undoubtedly large
basis of truth, which seems TO bring
the dispute within measurable dis
lance of war. Last evening the press
association issued curious statement
to the effect that as soon as the garri-
son in Natal had been sufficiently
strengthened the Transvaal Govern
ment would be called upon to accept
new convention already drafted,
which, while guaranteeing the integrl-
ty of the TranSvaal state, provides for
the demolition of the forts and limits
of the armed force of the TranSvaal
TO a number deemed sufficient TO main
tain internal order.
According to the Press Association,
the convention will demand that the
diplomatic agencies be suppressed and
the judiciary be made independent of
the executive.
This statement, which realizes the
extreme demands of the UitlanderS,
must be accepted under reserve at the
present stage, but it is not unlikely to
be a semi-official hint as to the next
move of the Government should PreSi- |
dent Kruger prove obstinate.
The London morning paper editor
ials regarded the crisis as having |
reached it's most acute phase. The Dali !
ly News says: I'VE refuse to believe !
that President Kruger is SO foolish as
to reject Mr.. Chamberlain's moderate
demands"
The Daily Chronicle, which appeals
again to Kruger Ito accept while it is
yet time and before England's terms
become harder" says: Refusal of the /
present terms will involve the ruin of
the State over which President Kru

moves in the game, and must perforce

If Mr.. Kruger haggles. the sinister con-
ditions in South Africa will grow
worse until a catastrophe is reached"
Other papers talk of the imminence
of war, and all the dispatches from
South Africa continue to describe the
preparations on both sides.

| LONDON, Sept. ia special dis
patch from Pretoria says the British
note which was read in both Raads
yesterday (Tuesday) is regarded there
as virtual ultimatum. The CORE
sEondent says:
1T proposes five years franchise,
a quarter representation for the gold
fields in the Volksraad, equality for
the British and Dutch in the Volks-
raad and equality for the old and new
burghers in regard to Presidential and
other elections.
IF these conditions are accepted a
conference between representatives of
the two Governments shall follow for
the purpose of drafting the necessary
measures and avoiding the introduce
ton of unnecessary conditions by the
Transvaal Government or the POSSIBLE
ity of passage of any new bills calcu-
lated to defeat the reforms.
In view of the fact the note goes
on to say, that the present state of
affairs in South Africa cannoS be pro-
longed, the definite acceptance of this
proposals. demanded without delay.
Otherwise Her Majesty's Government
will Immediately take the whole situa-
ton under reconsideration and will
act so as to bring about a settlement
PRETORIA, Sept. 1.-THE discus
sion of the first draft of the reply to
the British note ended this evening,
President Kruger having left at 4
o'clock and not having returned.
1t is understood that the Govern
ment will draw up the reply in it's final
form tomorrow morning and immedi-
ately submit the same to the Volks-
raad. The reply will be in terms
strongly influenced by the Orange
Free State, and among other features,
the maintenance of the convention of
1884 will be strongly asserted.
The situation this evening is not
considered so favorable as it was dur
ing the forenoon.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Pretoria
correspondent of the Times says: 1T
is very doubtful whether an unquali-
fed acceptance of Great Britain's de-
mands will be given

Times says Delcasse, the French For
eign Minister, has directed the French
Consul in the Transvaal TO endeavor
to persuade President Kruger to ac-
cept Chamberlain proposal.

The Pretoria correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says: The members
of the Volksraad received Mr.. Cham
berlain's dispatch defiantly today
Thursday. Individual members de-
clare that Great Britain must moder-
ate her demands. On the other hand, a
rumor is current that President Kru-
ger favors compliance and has even
suggested that he desires the irrecon-
cilables to leave Pretoria and consult
their constituents, thereby avoiding
their opposition. This belief is held in
johannesburg and accounts for the
hopeful condition of the market, but
the general public is pessimistic.'
The Times publishes the following
from johannesburg:
Mystery surrounds the attitude of
the Orange Free State. President
Steyn's silence is interpreted as show
ing an intention to support the Trans
wall through thick and thin, although
his inclination at present is on the side
of peace. Public feeling is running very
high and unless President Kruger
makes an emphatic prOnOuncement in
favor of Cancellation, the majority Of
the Beers will inevitably vote against
any concessions beyond 7-year fran
chise'
LONDON, Sept ia special dis
patch from Pretoria says: The Trans
wall adheres to the seven years fran
chise law, but is willing to consider,
and, if necessary, adopt any sugges-
tons Great Britain may make with re-
gard to the working of the law. In re-

Cincinnati, Sept 30. According TO
the Washington correspondent OF the
Commercial-Tribune, there Is more oc-

necessity for making the change before
then.
1t is extremely likely that Admiral

that he has decided views on the Philip
