ONDON, Sept. S.-The Anglo
Transvaal situation wears to-day
a more peaceful aspect. The As
IL sociated Press account of the
decisions taken at the Cabinet
Council Friday is confirmed from the
best sources of information. In addi-
ton to the troops from India a brigade
of four battalions of infantry is under
orders to start for South Africa imme-
diately one from home and three from
Mediterranean stations. The sailing
II the Castle liner Harlech Castle has
been Cancelled and the steamer will
probably be employed to transport Brit
ish troops.
A semi-oficial statement comes from
Pretoria through Cape Town to the
effect that the Transvaal Government
has explained to the British diplomatic
agent Mr.. Conyngham Greene, that its
last dispatch was meant as an accept
ance Of the proposed joint inquiry into
the franchise question. 1t appears
that the negotiations had become so in
volved that the Transvaal Government
itself had become confused or, perhaps
for its own purposes, wished to ap-
pear so.
I4C ID pc 4bNH II correspondent OL the
Daily Chronicle says:
1T was the Transvaal attitude re-
garding the suzerainty question that
caused the Afrikander leaders in Cape
Colony and the Orange Free State to
cool off promptly. The Transvaal has
row resumed a practical tone and the
Afrikanders are exerting a supreme eff
fort to expedite a settlement"
The Daily Chronicle AYERS that Lord
Salisbury's moderatirg influence was
felt throughout the council This is ex-
ceedingly probable, but in any case the
Cabinet was unanimous in favor of Mr..
Chamberlain sending a strong dispatch
demanding a categorical answer to the
proposals Sir Alfred Miner submitted
TO the Bloemfontein conference.
The Times thinks something more
than this might have been demanded,
but the Cabinets decision meets with
universal approval, and pending devel-
opments nothing further viii be done"
PRETORIA, Sept. -(bIidnighD-
The Government has issued a formal
announcement that its last dispatch
vas intended as an acceptance Of the
joint inquiry. The mistaken interpre-
tation arose through a confusion of
ideas,

opinion heard in Rennes to-
night. Hitherto there had al
ways been a divergence, but now both
camps, the Dreyfusards and the anti
Dreyfusards. seem unanimous in the
conviction that the verdict will go
against him.
Upon just what this is based and the
precise reason for the conclusion are a
mystery, but there is no Disgusting the
fact that from NJ Labori down to the
numerous Dreyfusards who crowd the
hotels and cafes and who last night
were still hopeful that Dreyfus would
be saved all seem now to agree that
his last chance is gone.
The one source of hope is M. Labori
himself, who said this evening to the
correspondent of the Associated Press ::
I'VE fear Captain Dreyfus will be
condemend, but we do not intend to
throw up the sponge. We shall go on
fighting for him
NJ. Jaures, the Socialist leader, and
other prominent Dreyfusards expressed
a similar opinion. Excitement is at a
fever heat and nothing is discussed but
the verdict of tomorrow.
The military precautions are of the
most elaborate character and no at
tempt at disorder is likely to have the
slightest success. Orders have been is
sud to repress the first symptom of
trouble with an iron hand.

Cured. Indeed, the inhabitants of the

borhood of the Lycee and the prison is

The news of the publication of Count
Won Bulow's speech in the Reich
sanzeiger reached Rennes to-day and
is considered very important on the eve
of a verdict, which, in some quarters
it is thought. will be regarded as a
slight by Germany if it be a condemna-
ton. as being tantamount to a public
refusal to take the word of Emperor
William, as his Minister is merely his
mouthpiece.
According to the latest report, the
verdict may be delivered between 8
and 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the
court adjoining after NJ. Demanges
speech until o'clock.
There is some criticism of NJ. Laboris
decision not to speak, the friends of NJ
Demange thinking it his object to
escape his share of the responsibility
in the event of a verdict of condemna-
ton. NJ. Demange. having once seen
Dreyfus condemned under his ad-
vocacy. would naturally like NJ. Labori
to share the criticism this time, espe-
cially as NJ. Labori has assumed such
a prominent part in the proceedings.

The ministerial situation created by

to South Africa, j. Israel Tarte will re-
sign. The minister of public works has
already made it pretty plain in his
newspaper publications and speeches
that he regarded the participation Of
Canada in any one of England's for
eign entanglenents, as he is pleased
to term the trouble, as a phase of inn
perialism that Quebec liberals will not
tolerate,
Today he spoke out in council to the
same effect, and with the result that

which is creating discontent at home
