PEItXI/’ LOOMS UP
v tv and S ri< tis Eminent In the 31 i 11-
tnry Situation In South Africa Is the
Rising of the Warlike Tribe of
Basil 1 os.
London, Oct. 18.—In the house of
comm -us today the first lord of the
tr-usury and government leader, Ar
tl>nr J. Lai four, brought in the follow
ing message from the queen:
•Tus state of affairs in Africa hav
ing constituted, in the opinion of her
majesty, a case of emergency within
the meaning of the act of parliament,
her majesty deems it proper to provide
additional means for military service.
She has, therefore, thought it right to
communicate to the house that her
majesty is, by proclamation, about to
order the embodiment of the militia
and to call out the militia reserve force
or such part thereof her majesty may
think necessary for permanent service. ”
The calling out of the militia and the
military reserves has occasioned wide
spread wonderment. Old stories of
preparations against continental combi
nations are revived. It is freely ru
m-red that the government is de
termined. to demonstrate to Europe that
the British army is not a negligible
quantity.
Probably bothtlie attitude of Europe
and that of the natives iu South Africa
have something to do with this move
ment, ana the.lavish display of force is
intended, doubtless, not only to check
the ill will apparent on both sides of
the Rhine and beyond the Vistula, but
i) -o to guard against the “black peril.”
According to the statistics published
this year the militia, including the per
manent staff aud the militia reserve,
numbers 132,493.
It is not believed that the militia are to
be sent to South Africa. Presumably they
will replenish the denuded British gar-
ris n towns and thus permit the gov
ernment to send to the Cape all the reg
ulars rendered necessary by develop
ments in South Africa.
Xo Advices From Mafeking.
Up to noon today no confirmation has
been received of the report of serious
Boer losses at Mafeking, but stories are
arriving from various points so persist
ently and circumstantially that it ap-
] trs probable the burghers have met
with some measure of reverse.
Accounts of the action at Mafeking
are beginning to arrive from Pretoria;
therefore, if the Boers had any success,
it is bound to be soon known. As fore
shadowed yesterday, they have suc
ceeded in cutting off the water suppiy
at Mafeking, but it is said that there
are sufficient wells in the town to sup-
1 y the inhabitants.
A new and 3erious element in the
m:litary situation is the rising of the
warlike tribe of Basutos under Chief
Mokeko against the Orange Free State
The British must keep the Ba^uiot
quiet; and the paramount Chief Lethe,l-
tti has thus far behaved well. Reports
t,re current, however, that the other
cmefs may follow the example of Mo-
heko.
Moreover, the unrest among the
tribesmen is spreading into Sulnland.
Advices from Pretoria, summarizing
tbe reports to the Transvaal government
from General Cronje, in command at
the chief laager, on the west side, an
nounce that the Marico aud Rustenberg
commandos, with field telegraph, occu
pied Burman’s drift, near the outskirts
of Mafeking, on Monday, aud took pos
session of a fountain iu the neighbor
hood, thus cutting off the water supply
of the town. The Boer artillery began
shelling, but the British did not reply.
Fight South of Kimberley.
A Boer account of the skirmish with
the British armored train sonth of Kim
berley says:
“The train came up on the burghers
while they were destroying the railroad.
The burghers fired upon the train with
Mausers and subsequently with artil
lery. The third shot hit a truck and
the train then steamed off, after which
the burghers continued the work of de
stroying the line.”
Another dispatch from Pretoria says
that burghers have occupied Taungs,
south of Mafeking and Lobari (Lo-
batsi?) to the northward, without oppo
sition.
With regard to Norvals Point, it ap
pears that the Cape railway officials de
stroyed tbe bridge oji their line on the
Orange Faee State side and then aban
doned the station.

JOUBERT AT NEW
CASTLE.
Uoer Commandant, Finds
Hundred Men Ther«-
Only
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers,
The iamous little pills.
Pretoria, Transvaal, Oct. 18.—Com
mandant General Jonbert has arrived
at New Castle, Natal. He found only
100 men there when he entered the
town.
1^9 Boers continue to close in upon
Mafeking and to destroy the railway
north ana south of the town. Among
the prisoners captured at Lobatsi was
the R9v. Adrian Hofmier. He has
since been released.
The first batch of military prisoners
is expected here this evening.
The Transvaal officials at Komati-
poort assert that large quantities of ex
plosives were found on the railway
there. The culprits who placed the
stuff where it. was found were- fired on
but escaped.
General Cronje, after warning the
women and children to leave Mafeking,
opened fire upon the town with cannon
this morning. No response was made.
The report current at Delagoa bay
that 0,000 Boers have been repulsed at
New Castle is false.
General Jan H. M. Kock, second in
command of the Boer forces, is still at
Ingogo. He has cannon commanding
Borhas and Linnet passes aud has cut
the railway between Djmdee and De-
Jaagers drifr. SeveraPTransvaal com
mandos are moving toward the Big-
garsberg mountains to the south of
Glencoe.
The telegraph superintendent at Hei
delberg, Transvaal, reports that on
Sunday night a balloon passed over
Nigel in the direction of Stauderton.
The Volksten, the Boer official organ
at Pretoria, gives the following account
of the occupation of the British camp
at Ramathlabama, just north of Mafe
king:
“The British camp at Ramathlabama
has been captured and sacked by Gen
eral Cronje after severe fighting. Many
burghers were killed or wounded. The
British loss is not known.”
The Volksten adds that “success has
thus far every where attended the burgh
ers.” Although it. admits that in vari
ous skirmishes near Mafeking and at
other points the Boer casualties number
some GO or 70 killed and wounded.
ALASKAN MODUS VIVENDI.
Secretary Hay and the British Charge
Hold a Conference.
Washington, Oct. IS.—Secretary Hay
had a conference today with Mr. Tower,
the charge of the British embassy here,
relative to the Alaskan modus vivendi.
The secretary had already given consid
eration to the last proposition of the Brit
ish government and was prepared to sub
mit the answer from the United States,
which iu this case takes the form of an
other proposition.
This last proposition interferes in no
essential with that which has already
served as the basis of the agreement be
tween Secretary Hay and Mr. Tower,
but upon close scrutiny of the latest
form it was deemed advisable by our
government to make a few changes in
the text, solely with the view to clear
ing up, beyond any chance of doubt,
a few’of the points of the agreement.
It is not doubted that the changes will
be acceptable to the British government.
There will be no formal document to
receive the signatures of the parties to
the agreement, as was the case in the
negotiations of the Behring sea modus
vivendi, but the agreement defining the
temporary boundary will be set out in
the notes exchanged between Secretary
Hay and Mr. .Tower. .
DROWNED IN A MILLPOND.
Miss Kate Giuz- Meets Death Near
Wilmington, N. C.
Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 18.—Miss
Katie Gaase, a highly esteemed lady of
this city, and a daughter of the late S
P. Gause, was drowned yesterday at
Greenfield millpond, 1*4 miles from the
city.
Miss Gause, with a party of children,
had gone for an afternoon stroll to the
country, and at the time of the accident
was some distance behind the children,
6he having retraced her steps to a spot
near the bank, where she said she had
left her purse.
Just how the accident occurred will
never be kuown, as the children soon
after her departure heard a splash in
the water, which is at this point about
15 feet deep, and were startled to find
Miss Gause struggling between life aud
death in the water.
She was 31 years of age and lived with
her sisters-in-law, Mrs. Preston Com-
ming and Mrs. Alice Young.
Insurance Companies Fined.
Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 18.—The
supreme court, which ordered a writ of
ouster against 38 fire insurance com
panies doing business in the state for
violation of the antitrust laws, today
stayed judgment in the cases of 19 on
the payment TJf a fine of $1,000 each.
Five companies filed no pledges and the
writ of ouster was issued, no fine being
allowed, and one company was given
further time to plead. A commissioner
will be appointed to take testimony in
13 other cases.
A Couple Burned to Death.
Green Lake, Wis., Oct. 18.—Terrace
Beach Casino, a large hotel, burned to
the ground today. Mr. and Mrs. Jenks,
parents of Mrs. W. A. Meyers, the pro
prietress, were burned to death. Loss
on the building and contents, $60,000.
Mr. Jenks was lying very ill in bed and
not expected to live Mrs. JeDks made
an heroic attempt to save her husband,
but before she could rescue him the
flames cut off all escape and the old
couple burned to death.

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is ali
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.

TROUBLE AT BARNESVILLE.
and
Negroes Gather ou the Square
Troops Aro Called Out.
Barnesville, Ga., Oct. 17.—Last
night the police reported to Mayor Ken
nedy that about 50 negroes were as
sembled near the pnbiic square, with
rifles and clubs, evidently preparing for
a midnight attack. The mayor at once
ordered out the Barnesville Bines and
in less than an hour the city was under
military rule and every vestige of a mob
had disappeared.
The cause of the mobilization of ne
groes is supposed to be the outcome of
the strike which occurred at the Oxford
knitting mills last week. The white
operatives refused to work with negroes.
The matter was adjusted, but not until
every negro had left the mill.
Numerous notices have been posted
by unknown parties warning negroes
not to return to their occupations. This
has aroused the negroes aud it is pre
sumed they are resenting the threats.
LYNCHING AT WILSON, LA.
Notoriously Bad Character Hanged

Wilson, La., Oct. 16.—A man named
J. L. Smith, a notoriously bad character

hanging by the neck Sunday morning
about 1 mile from Wilson on the Clin
ton road.
Information was received here about
1 o’clock Sunday morning that Smith
and a party of nine men had left Nor
wood, about 4 miles north of here, for
Wilson, saying ho was going to take
the town. A watch was kept and when
Smith appeared with his men, he, to
gether with three of his party, were
captured.
An officer with two guards started
with Smith for the Cliuton jail and was
met by a large party of unknown men,
who forcibly took the prisoner from
them, ordering the officer and his
guards to depart, which they did, to
avoid rough handling.

Jackson Yellow Fever Refugees Are
Urged to Return. *■., j
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 16.—A mass
meeting of the prominent citizens held
this morning issued a pnbiic statement
declaring that there is no danger of
yellow fever infection from this city
and advis’ng all towns to raise their
quarantine against Jackson and allow
business to be resumed.
The statement is quite lengthy and
sets forth the history of yellow fever in
Jackson during the present case.
Throughout the statement there is an
undercurrent of doubt expressed that
the prevailing sickness has been
genuine yellow fever, the fact being
cited that a large number of persons
who were exposed to the infection and
resided in houses with patients failed to
contract the disease.
It is thought that the statement will
have the effect of causing absent citi
zens and refugees to return to their
homes and open np bnsiness, which has
been completely prostrated since Sept. 10.
