SAYS THERE WILL BE WAR
David L. Wilson, British Agent, q Pessi.
mist as to African Affairs, n


SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 31.-DavidiL.
Wilson, who claims to be an agent of
the British government and to have I'M
portant papers for the home office. has
arrived here en- route to London, from
the Transvaal .. ,"fH
Mr.. .Wileon says he has no doubt that
there will be a war. !
II have been three years in the Trans
vaal and know the leaders of the Boer
government we'll President KRUGER
does not want war. He is now an old
and lntirm man. AS such he has not
the control of the cabinet that he had
once. The cabinet is composed of young
blood who want independence and who,
may say, will never give up until they
have either attained it or been wiped
out OF existence by the English forces.
This is why say there will be war.
"The story sent out that General
Joubert has found that the reserve
shells in the Pretoria forts are ineffec-
tive is probably true. A partial knowl-
edge of this fact has been had for some
time in British ministerial circles.
There will be no trouble in replacing
the ammunition, however.
General Joubert, know personally,
is opposed to war. He will lead the
Boer forces when war comes. He is a
fighter, a man of courage, and will
simply be sacrifice to his ambition.
"When the blow is struck it will be
fatal one in the Transvaal. The Brit
ish for months have been massing troops
and are practically ready at this time,
if necessity demands Immediate action. )"

plague are officially reported at Oporto.
Three Of the principal street railway
systems in Seattle have become the
property of Boston syndicate.
At harvest picnic near Labora, a.,
as the result of eating strawberry
favored ice cream 25 persons were seri-

Among the many summer schools Of
pedagogy and other things being con-
Quoted in various parts Of the country
the one at Worcester, Mass, appears to
be attracting the largest share of atten-
ton. This is due mainly to the peculiar
character Of some of the instruction
impaired to the teachers there assem-
bled In lecture the Rev. DIR. Hall
enunciated this somewhat unusual prop
osition: II believe in working off some
effects of anger by well regulated fight
ing among boys. Every irascible boy
ought to know how to box. To teach
children not to fight is to train them to
be moral towards It is possible that
little well regulated fighting might
be an Improvement on continuous quar-
rellng and "scrapping, and there could
be no serious objection to teaching boys
how to spar. But the proposition "to
teach boys not to fight is to teach them
to be moral cowards'' is hardly tenable
There is no such relation between moral
and physical courage. The prizefghter
who has no fear Of sledge hammer blows
and can endure severest physical pain
is not ordinarily conspicuous for moral
courage.
