SCHEME TO QUIET EUROPE
General Butler VIII Command
Twice as Many Soldiers as
Wellington Had Ever
Seen.

+ New York, Oct. 9.--A special TO the
World from London says: A CORE
spondent Of the World hears that the
British high commissioner of South
Africa has been authorized to notify
president Steyn of the Orange Free
Estate that peaceful settlement of
the Transyaal difhculty can be made
II President Kruger will disarfn his
people and grant the desired franchise
to outlanders and pay Great Britain
an indemnity for the cost of her. tniT-
itary preparations, which now would
be less than $1,000,000. Rumors are
prevalent that Lord Salisbury is work
ing for peace. 1t Is evident the deter
mination of the Beers to act strictly
on the defensive coupled with the
knowledge that-at. the British army
corps cannot advance on Pretoria be.
fore the middle of December, is exer,
cising calming influence on public
feeling. - -.
!, London, Oct. 9.-The vastness Of
Great Britain's military preparations
are seemingly out of all proportion
to the work in hand in South Africa
was not fully realized by the public
until the war office announced that
rs, 900 reserves had already been sum
moned. General Sir Redvers Butler
will have command of twice as many
British soldiers as the Duke of Well
ington, the conqneror of the first Ma
poleon, ever saw collected on bat
tlefield. The reasons back. of this
lavish display are probably the fear
of native uprising and possibly the
conviction Of the advisability of show
ing Europe that Great Britain Is pre-
pared to resent any reaction resulting
from the prevailing continental i'll
will. ~
London, Oct. 9.--From the continent
comes an unoonfrmed z report that
preparations are being made 20rsh orr
ganized attack upon etheS mines by
natives and destruction of plants. Al.
report is in circulation of the organi-
zation Of a corps of volunteers to aid
the burghers but lacks confirmation.
London, Oct. 9.-The Berlin eorre-'
spondent of the Evening Standard.
says: Information has been received
In diplomatic quarters that Lord Sal
isbury at the last moment hesitates to
enter upon a war with the Transyaal.
A peaceful solution is not therefore
altogether impossible. although I'm
probable. ~
London, Oct 9.-Accerding to the
latest advices from Johannesburg the
natives who have been reinforced by
the lawless element are getting out.
and anarchy is threatened.
The real intentions of Premier Sal
isbury may be expected to develop
shortly. AS at present arranged the
work Of the session of spafliam ent:
which will begin October II, will con-
sist of the Queens speech dealing ex-
clusively with the African question,
voting credit and the passage of an
appropriation bill. This will occupy
three weeks. Owing to the drain on
military sources all the colonial re-
liefs have been stopped for, a year,

LIGHT YOUR LAMPS.
Chief of Police Announces That He Will
Enforce the Bicycle Law.

Thanks to the action of the. City
Council the bicycle law is to be en-
forced to the letter Today Chief of
Police Owen O'Ha e stated that after
this evening the orders Of the Council
would be carried out and tkat every
vio1ator Of the law would be arrested
and dealt with as the law requires,
The law provides that the rider Of a
wheel shall light lamp on his wheel
at shutdown, but the law will be con-
strued to give the cyclists q right to
ride until dark without FLASHING the
g1im.''
The action of the Council and the
police in ordering the enforcement of
the bicycle law will be heard with de-
light by all good citizens. For the
past five months Prairie avenue be-
tween the hours of and O'Clock has
been terror to pedestrians. A large
proportion of the employees of the diff
ferent factories are wheel riders and it
was the exception when wheel was
found with a lamp on it in compliance
with the law. The police and the rid
ers should make a strong pull together
and in the near future every rider will
see the necessity of providing light
for his steed of steel.

THREE ARE SENTENCED.
Barry and Leroy Must Spend a Year at
the Green Bay Reformatorv.

The Office of County Judge S1osson
this morning was the scene Of several
pathetic occurrences. The reason of
all this pthos was the fact that the
JUDGE sentenced three criminals for
c~:lnes committed III the last few
weeks, to which pleas of guilty had
been entered.
The first two to come before the
Judge were James Barry and Harry
Leroy, the two bell boys at the SAM
tarium who were arrested a few weeks
ago on cha rye Of robbing the fruit
stand of Joseph Pacini at the foot of
Main street. The boys Lo,h plead
guilty to the charges preferred against
them, but excused themselves on the
grounds that they were drunk when
the crime was committed. In consid-
Grafton OF the youth OF the offenders
and the promises of reform the Judge
gave them The 1ightest sentence posi-
bic and they will each spend year in
the State Reformatory at Green Bay.
LeRoy's mother appeared with her son
in court, but she made no plea to the
Judge for 1eniency.
The last case which came before the
Judge was a very pisiable one. An old
man nearly seventy named J. E. Blair
appeared and plead guilty to charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The fellow was arrested last
