President Mckinley Gives Out Statement
~" g Regarding Transvaal.
'''' WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--The following
was issued by, the state department.:
The president has received large
number of petitions signed by many
citizens Of distinction requesting him
to tender the mediation of the United
States to settle the differences between
Great Britain and the Transvaal. He
has received other petitions on the
same subject, some desiring him to
make common cause with Great Britain
to redress the wrongs alleged to have
been suffered by outlanders, especially
American citizens in the Transvaal;
others wishing him to assist the Beers
against alleged aggression.
1T is understood that the president
does not think it expedient to take
action in any of these directions As
to, taking sides with either party to
the dispute it is not to be thought Of
AS to mediation, the president has re-
ceived no intimation from either of
the countries interested that the me-
diation of the United States would be
accepted, and in the absence of such
intimation from both parties, there is
nothing in the rules of international
usage to Justify an offer of mediation
in the present circumstances 1t is
known that the president sincerely
hopes and desires that hostilities may
be avoided: but if unfortunately they
should come to pass, the efforts of this
government will be directed, as they
are at present, to seeing that neither
our national interests nor those of our
citizens suffer an unnecessary injury"

tails concerning the situation on the

ATTACKING MAFEKING.
But the Boer Forces Have Thus Far
Been Repulsed.

Been Repulsed.
LONDON, Oct. 15.--According to the
dispatches from the front the Beers
have made several attacks upon MAIZE
king, all of which have been repulsed.
In connection with the rumored attack
upon Mafeking, disquieting report
comes from Pretoria to the effect that
Rustenburg and Marico, commanders,
have crossed the border and entered
the Rooigrond territory. between
Lichtenburg and Mafel1ing, blowing
up the bridge over the Maloppo river,
destroying a trainload of dynamite and
the track. AS Mafeking depends upon
the Rooigrond for its water supply the
significance of this move is evident.
The Beers are reported to have seized
the railway station north of Fourteen
streams, between Vryburg and Kim
berley. Fighting continues in the
neighborhood. The capture of the
armored train on the wastern border
of the Transvaal is the beginning of
few anticipated reverses at the outset
of the campaign. The Boer plan is
now unfolding itself. 1t seems to be
to strike simultaneously at different
points, with a view of obtaining a
strong strategic position in Natal be-
fore the arrival of the British army
corps, At all points the British are
faced by Boer forces, superior, at least
IN number. t8is:tsS

Orwig's Weekly Patent Office Report.


DIES MONIES, Oct. 10.-A simple de-
vice frequently invented and brought
to us consists in attaching thread to
an envelope so that the end of the
thread is exposed and by pulling it the
sealed envelope can be opened thereby.
Patent No. l14.672 was granted for the
said invention May 0, 1871. Improve
ments are always in order and in many
instances the improvements are more
valuable than the original, but it is
hard to conceive of any patentable i'm
provement in the manner of applying
thread for an envelope opener and
yet some genius may do so and get
valuable patent therefor. A patent
has been allowed to L. ii. J. Leckband,
of Adair, Iowa, for an acetylene gas
generator. A retort is pivotally and
detachably connected with water
tank and water and gas conveying
pipes combined Herewith so that the
flow of water can be arrested while
plurality of pans in the retort are
being cleaned and refilled with car
bide while gas continues to flow to the
burners.
Consultation and advice free.
