Position of the United States In the Trans
vaal Imbroglio.
Washington, Oct. 12.-The following
statement was issued by the state de-
partment to-day:
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 tie differences between
the government Gf Great Britain and
that of the Transvaal. He has received
other petitions on the same subject,
some Of them desiring him to make
common cause with Great Britain to
redress the wrongs alleged to have
been suffered by the outlanders and
especially by American citizens In the
assist the Beers against alleged aggres-
sion. 1t is understood the president
does not think it expedient to take ac-
tion in any direction. To take sides
with either party to the dispute is not
to be thought Of.
As to mediation the president has
received no intimation from either of
the countries that the mediation 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 presen.
circumstances. It is known the pres-
dent sincerely hopes and desires that
hostilities may be avoided, but if. un-
fortunately, they should come to pass,
the efforts of this government will be
dlfected-as they are at present-to
seeing that neither our national inter-
ests nor those of our citizens shall suf-
fer unnecessary injury.

He was promptly shot when the Germans

The natives then looted the neighborins
factories and murdered the native en-

British territory. Two British traders,
who were warned, had a narrow escape,
managing TO get down the river in ca
noe and to reach Rio del Rey, where they
found only a solitary German official and
half dozen black soldiers.
Great excitement prevailed at Rio del

and pointing out how useful they had
been to the Americans in the Philippines,
he said:
The Beers remind me of the people of

good fighters as can be found anywhere in

better than the Southerners, and yet they

y ""T Mines. %4 ...,.r
Vancouver. b. C., Oct 12.-William Nc
Neill was to-day found not guilty of the
murder OF Robert John Mcdonald.
a very peculiar and fatal accident hap
pened in No. shaft in the Nanalmo coal
mines to-day. whereby David McNevin, a
miner. was suddenly killed 1t appears
that he had put in shot and stepped out
of the way to wait for the explosion to
take place. The shot exploded and piece
of flying rock struck . prop near which
McNevin was standing. knocking it down.
In falling it struck McNevin on the back
Of the neck in such way as to break II,
killing him instantly.
As q result of a city police prosecution
and further threatened proceedings, pro-
fessionsl gamblers, whs lately infested
Vancouver, have hurriedly departed Ell
masss almost at = moments notice.
Now that the Columbia Il Western ex-
tension of the Canadian Pacific railway is
nearing the terminus at Midway, some
particulars of this important road into the
rich mineral boundary district may be
given. The average cost Of the present
system has been $50, 900 per mile, or Ss,OOo-
900 for the entire road. In places it has
exceeded that average immensely. For
two miles along McRae creek the road
bed Is cut almost entirely out of solid
rock, the bluff OF which had to be
blasted away for a height of 80 feet in or
der to make room for the track The
cost OF that section was $500, coo. The main
tunnel at Dog creek will probably be cut
through by the first of the year.
