tary of State Hay, published here, are
heartily welcomed as happy return for
Great Britain's refusal to sanction con-
tinental intervention in the war between
the United States and Spain. AS the
Beers failed to attack Natal when the
colony was vulnerable it is beginning
tc be felt that they are pursuing a delib-
crate policy of waiting for the British
proposals, remaining IN the meantime on
the defensive in the hope of thus Win
ming the sympathies of the world, and.
perhaps tie support of other nations, and
leaving to Great Britain tho ignominy of
starting hostilities
The absence Of news from South Africa
appears to be due to a heavy block on
the telegraph lines, which may mean
that the lines are occupied by official
dispatches. and that negotiations are
being actively carried on. From Durham
it is announced that no code messages
will be accepted for any part of South
Africa without the production of the
codes. The Transvaal banks have, been
notified that no more gold will b. per-
mitted to leave the country.
BOERS WILL FIGHT TO DEATH.
The Daily News this morning publ hes
the report of an interview with Bertram
Milford, the South African novels, who
spent IWelly-llN ySSti ctulOllS liiS N'eipC
Dutch, in which Mr.. Milford predicts
that victory will only be obtained by the
British after long, costly and bloody con-
f1iet He says:
1.-The Beers will fight to the death. The
Jameson raid aroused them, and ever
since they have been preparing for war
and practicing shooting, and they will
resist to the bitter end. / do not believe
the Beers will incite the natives against
England but 1t is impossible to say what
the natives will do. The Basuitos are
loyal to the queen, but hate the Free
State 1t would be fight for supremacy
If the Basuitos were to arise and fight
the Free State. The Swazis are friendly
to the British, and it requires but little
encouragement to lead them to attack
the republic l do not think there is any,
thing to be feared from the Zulus but the
Matabeles and Mashons might try to re-
peat the horrors of 1886. All through tie
published statements the strength of the
Beers is exaggerated. 1t does not exceed
$4,000, at the outside"

PRETORIA, Oct. 0.-President Kruger,

man who was to be his host begging to be
excused until after the races had been
sailed, as he was cerltering all his efforts
on the task before him and did not want
to leave Sandy Hook until after tomor-
rows race, anyway.
Sir Thomas has been the recfpient of
many hundreds of cablegrams from
friends on the aather side of the water
congratulating him on the fine showing
the Shamrock has made in light weather
and every time a big batch of dispatches
is brought from shore those on the Erin
have a good time reading them. for
among them are many humorous ones

than likely that he will come again next

The owner Of the challenger voiced the
sentiments of those on the Erin that
there would be no wind tomorrow. He
felt that the fog that has hung heavily
over the horizon TO-DAY would not clear
up for at least tWenty-four hours. but
expressed wish many times that King
Eolus would ply his bellows vigorously
tomorrow, SO that the racers could have
& chance at each other in something be-
side drifting match.
When asked what had been done aboard
Shamrock during the kday, Sir Thomas
replied that the crew had not touched a
piece of rigging or sail since the green
craft came into her mooring Saturday
night. and that his boat was ready to
sail another race an hour after the race
Of Saturday was declared Off The crew
of the challenger was as happy as pos
sible, and have no fear of the result of
the series. The crew Is as anxious for a
race in a breeze as their employer is.

A DECIDED SUCCESS. .
The Entertainment Given by Hoyt
L. Conary In Peru.

Speaking of Hoyt l.. Conary, who
is to appear here under the auspices
of the local entertainment bureau on
the evening of Dec. 18th, Peru,
Illinois paper says that the. enter
tainment given for the Tazwell Club
last Monday evening by Hoyt L.
Conary was a decided success.
Mr.. Conary may be ranked among
the best impersonators in the
country and his subject is some
thing entirely new and original.
1t seemed that when he was a
student at Bucksport, Me-, he
clerked in a country store to defray
his school expenses. It was this
experience which gave him the
inspiration for Around the Stove.
He began the entertainment by a
few Introductory remarks in verse,
then introduced us to the various
characters who spent their evenings
around the stove of the country
store. There was the drummer,
the would-be politician, the plain,
uneducated farmer, the dude stu
dent, who tried TO air his, classical
knowledge, a fFrenchman who
spoke English very brokenly, and
Dennis, the Irishman, brogue anG
wit were "a constant source of
amusement. They carried on a CON-
monplace talk for several minutes,
Mr.. Conary impersonating the diff
ereDt characters very successfully;
then it was proposed that each tell
story. The one told by Dennis.
describing his reasons for coming
to America. and the seasick voyage,
and a "reminiscences from the early
life of the farmer, kept the audience
lin a rear Of laughter. One of the
pleasantest entertainments of the
season was the universal verdict.

Bingham Bros. elevator did not open
last week fof the, reason that the car
penters did not have their work COM
pleted, and DO agent was on hand.
This left all of the wheat that was
hauled into town to be delivered to the
Minnesota Elevator Co.'s elevator. aud
the agent was busy far into the night
receiving grain that had been held
back for the completion Of the new
line. Teams were compelled to wait
about an hour, from, IL o'clock until
| five, after which the rush let up and
farmers could market rapidly. The
fact that everything was new made
the work slow. On Wednesday the
agent was out of currency and farmers
we're obliged to take elevator checks.
The latter felt as though they were en-
titled to a raise, in-case there was any
IN the wheat market. .F@ut sFa@ Gtsh
