NO RIFT VISIBLE IN HEAVY WAR CLOUDS - English Press Unanimous in Considering a Conflict Im* minent. _^ ^i ^rr- ..-..... .. Loados, Sept. 6.-The premier, the Marquis of Salisbury, will come to London today (Wednesday) to confer with the secretary of state for the colonies. Jos. Chamberlain, and a cabinet council bas been sommoned for Friday. Urgent messages have been sent to ali the ministers request fog their attendance. There is great activity at the ad miralty, the war office and the colon ial office. Gen. Lord Wolsley, field marshal, and commander-in chief, is in daily communication with the war office, asare also Geo. Sir Evelyn Wood, adjutant general to the forces, and Co!. Hector Archibald Macdonald, aide de camp to the queen. The Daiy Mail expresses the opin ion that the next move will be an ultimatum unless President Kruger yields It declares that 15,000 men is the outside number the Transvaal government can put into the field. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mail says : "I Iea;n from Boer j sources that reliable sews has been received at the Hague from Pretoria that President Kruger will not give Mr. Chamberlain time to send an ultimatum but will take advantage of the nrst suspicious move of the English troops cn the border to as sume the offensive." The Johannesburg correspondent of the Standard says : "There seems i to be some ground for supposing that the peace party at Pretoria has gain ed a temporary advantage as ' the result of the influence of Mr. Fischer, the special representative of the Orange Free State." The latest news received in this city from various points in South Africa is vague and contradictory. Nothing more is known regarding the states of the negotiations between Great Britain and the Transvaal than that learned yesterday. The officials of the British war office emphatically deny that the reserves have been called oct or that any steps have been taken to that . end j The afternoon papers follow the j lead of the morning papers in taking an extremely grave view of the j situation, although the war office denial somewhat tends to ailey the widely alarmist reports current last night. The opinion of those who regarded the beginning of the war between Great Britain and the Transvaal as only a matter of a short time is Toiced by the St. James Gazette, which says today : "The news con cerning the crisis is very grave. We learn that three more infantry brigades have been ordered to Cape Colony, including the Gordons of Dargal fame ; one battalion of the Highland light infantry, who fought in Crete ; the Second Battalion o the Black Vj atch and the Second Battalion of the Cameronians These regiments are under orders to be ready to leave at 24 hours notice The officers and men are delighted at the prospect of active service. .'In service circles war is consider ed absolutely certain The admiralty have a number of transports ready to convey troops to Cape Colony. The Boers, while procrastinating in re gard to their reply, have been mak ing every preparation for war and contempjate raidiog the Natal fron tier ' Laigne's Neck, which is the t?o!e route from the Trausvaal to Natal, is undefended r - -?>? - Recent Cotton Statistics. Some figures taken from the annual report of the New Orleans cotton exchange are of an interesting aa ture It pots the cotton crop of 1898 99 at 11 274,840 bales, an in crease of 74,845 over the previous year The average commercial value of the bale is placed at $25 08 as against $28 62 of the year before The total value of th ; crop is esti mated at $282 773,000 against $320, 553,000 of the year before The reports puts the total spindles in the south at 4,952,092, an increase over last year of 894.848 The net gain in the number of Southern mills over last year has been 59. making the total now 550 and the consumption of cotton in the south 1.399,399 bales, an increase of 170.079 ; the consumption in South Carolina was 443,978 bales, an increase of 62,824, and 62,000 bales more than any other State Io the South, the activity within the year in building new mills has been withont parallel.

States Reason for Action by England-Determined to Defend her Freedom New York, Sept, 6.-The World will publish a statement tomorrow from Paul Kruger, president of the South African republic in response to a message sent by that paper : "I gladly accede to your request to present the Boer side to the Amer icans. The present agitation against this republic emanates partly from a certain section of British residents to whom the existence of the re public which embraces the most flourishing parts of South Africa, is a standing eye sore, and wbo suffer from the prevailing jingo mania, partly also from mining capitalists, who, not content with having the best mining laws in the world, wish also to have complete control of all legislation and administration. "The franchise voting question was taken up by England because it was thought the republic would not yield on that point. Not that the altered franchise does not materially differ from the American-it is in many re spects easier-the agitation bas be come worse. The object clearly is the destruction of our republic and the complete control of the richest mines in the world. '.The press, entirely controlled by capitalists, spreads unprecedented misrepresentation and prejudice tbrcugbout the world against the Boer republic. "We are determined to defend to the utmost the freedom and self government for which our people have shed blood in every part of South Africa though we have no such powerful friend as you proved to Venezuela and to other republics, we have strong faith that the cause of freedom and republicanism wilf triumph in the end. ? ??inri Ki WM\m - Reply of the Transvaal Has Been Published.

Pretoria, Sept. 7 -At the desire of the Transvaal government there has been transmitted through Conyn gham Greene, the British diplomatic agent here, to Sir Alfred Milner, the British high commissioner of South Africa, ac inquiry as to whether an j explanation^ would be given in regard j to the mobilization of British troops I on the Transvaal frontier. There was great excitement in the raad today on Mr. Coetser's interpei iation of the government regarding the presence of British troops on the borders and the stoppage of ammuni tion consigned to the Transvaal. President Kruger, the members of the executive council and most of the principal officials were present, to gether with a large representation of the general pubiic, including many ladies. At the outset the chairman and president urged members to preserve calmness and to avoid insulting lan guage The state secretary, F. W. Reilz, ! said he had called the previous day on the British diplomatic agent, Mr. Conyngham Greene, and had asked bim what reply the government could give in the volksraad regarding the alleged massing of British troops on the borders, and whether Mr. Greene would communicate with the British high commissioner, Sir Alfred i Milner The reply from Mr. Greene, he coniinued, had been received this morning and was in the following terms : Dear Mr Raitz : The following is Sir Alfred Milners reply to the tele gram which I sent him at your request : "I don't know to what Mr Reitz refers when be alludes to the massing of troops. This must be the British troops in South Africa, the position and Dumber of which are no secret, but it is a matter of common knowledge that they are here in order to protect British interests and to make provision against even tualities." Mr Coetser and other members then made violent speeches declaring that they could not understand Sir Alfred Milners reply, since the Trans vaal had never threatened the English colonies ' It is time," exclaimed Mr Coet ser, "for the Transvaal also to pre pare for eventualities :' One member said : "England's ac tion is like putting a revolver into a man's face '' Another concluded a warlike har rangue in this strain : "It is time to send our burghers to the borders to ask these troops what they want. The fire is bound to start. So let them light it and allow it to burn out quickly. War is better than the present state of affairs. Business is ruined and the public treasury 3 dry ing up Chamberlain is trying to ruin the country " The debate continued throughout the afternoon Mr. Tosen, who declared that Sir Alfred Milner's reply waa tantamount to a declaration of war, read a tele gram from tte field cornet of the Pietretief district, stating that the people there would rise in rebellion if president Kruger went to another conference The chairman called Mr Tosen to order for saying that the Jameson raiders ought to have been hanged. President Kruger, rising, said : "The aliens have been offered equal rights with the burghers, but have refused them Mr Chamberlain is striving to get the franchise, which the Outlanders do not want, but what he really desires is possession of the Transvaal. The burghers are willing to concede much for the sake of peace, but will never sacrifice their independence " After eulogizing-Mr Gladstone's action is retrocession in 1881 as a noble deed, President Kruger said that if it now came to fighting the Almighty would be the arbiter He urged the members to show modera tion, reminding them that the reply from Mr. Ceamberiain was en route and pointing out that if the [Toposal for the commission were agreed to, the republic would send delegates to further discuss matters and if possi ble to make peace The speeches following the presi dent's were more moderate in tone, and the raad rose without passing any resolution Washington, Sept 7.-The quart er master's department has landed 630 head of horses and mules at Manila ; there are 2,500 on the sea, and arrangements are about complet ed to ship 2,100 more within a few weeks Thie will supply the cavalry brigade with horses and the army with mules for transportation. Tusocla, 111 , Sept. T.--At the Douglas county fair at Camargo to night lightning struck the north end of tho grandstand killing two men instantly, fatally injuring twc more and seriously disabling six others. Peaceful View of Affairs. No Ultimatum Wiii be Sent But a Limit Fixed. London, Sept. 9 -The Anglo Transvaal situation wears today a more peaceful aspect. The Associated Press account cf tbs decisions taken at the cabinet council yesterday (Friday) are confirmed from the best eouroes of information. In addition to the troops from India, a brigade of four battalions of infantry is under orders to start for South Africa immediately, one from home and three from Mediterranean stations The sail iog of the Castle Liner Harlech Castle bas been cancelled and the steamer will probably be employed to transport these troops. A semi official statement coces from Pretoria through Capetown to the effect that the Transvaal government has ezplained to the British diplomatic agent, Mr. Conyngham Greene, that its last dispatch was meant as an accept ance of the proposed joint inquiry. FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Pretoria, Sept 8.-Midnight.-The government has issued a formal an nouncement that its last dispatch was intended as an acceptance of the joint inquiry. The mistaken interpretation arose through a confusion of ideas. Both President Kruger and Vi:e President Joubert declare that they are determined to work fer a peaceful settlement. FEW BRITISH TROOPS IN THE COUNTRY London, Sept. 8 -The correspon dent of The Times at New Castie, Natai, says : "There would be little surprise here if the Boers assumed the aggressive immediately. It is a matter of astonishment that so few British troops are in the country, especially on the western border. "THERE WILL BE NO WAR." London, Sept. 8 -Mr. Montague White, the counsel general of the South African republic io London, said to a representative cf the Associated Press this evening: "I assure you on the authority of a cabinet minister that there will be no war with the Trans vaal. In fact the queen will not permit war. I received a telegram from Pre ioria today assuring me that the Transvaal government quite under stands the position regarding the peace party in England and is in no wise misled by speeches or demonstration." Glorious News. Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of TVashita, I. T. Ile writes : 'Tour bottles of Electric Bit ters bas cured Mrs. Brewer, of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Ter rible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could gire no help j bat her cure is complete and her health is ex cellent." This shows what thousands have proved-that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier knoun. It is the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and ruuoiog soras. It -stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion builds up the strength. Only 50 cents. Sold by J. F. W. DeLorme, Druggist. Guaranteed* 4 Southern Negro Towns. Hobson City, Ala , where 400 ne groes z~e about to be incorporated into a town, with no white man within the limits, is being advertised as the only one of ita kind io Amerioa. This is a mistake. Lincolnvilie, S. C., about twenty-five miles from Charleston, was named after the president and bas been incorporated for many years. It is more than ' twice the size of Hobson City, having more than 1,000 inhabi tants. The oniy white man who ever ventured to live in Liooolnville was robbed and murdered several years ago. But as a rule the government of this town is satisfactory and there are no complaints from the neighboring oountry Priooeton, near Tarboro, N. C , is another exclusively negro town with its own municipal government. It is peaceable and well ordered ; whites do not trespass, and its inhabitants do not worry the whites. North Carolina has two white towns where no negro is allowed to rest his head. They are settled by Northerners and Westerners, but chiefly by farmers from the Lake States.-Columbia Dispatoh in New York Sun. A firm of intelligent Japanese tea merchants of Hamilton, Ohio, have received a oopy of a Japanese paper containing this dispatch from Ma nila : In the latter part of June, near San Fernando, Aguinaldo was killed by General Pino del Pinar. Pinar visited him to inquire about the death of Gen eral Luna, and Aguinaldo answered that be never knew anything about this case acd told Pinar to attend to bis own bufinefs General Pinar then called Aguinaldo a liar, and pulling a pistol shot him in thc foreho3d, killing him instantly.
