LONDON, Sept. 1.—The situation in South Africa has become 1"ath91 compli- cated. The strong feeling of the Dutch element in the Cape Colony evidently in- fluences the secretaiy of state _fo1 the colonies. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, to do everything possible to avert a rupture and explains the further endeavor, after a conference at Cape Town, to arrange for the constitution of an arbitration suzerainty, which, rather than franchise, now takes the leading place in the con- troversy. Portugal’s action in permitting the transit of the ammunition consigned to the Transvaal by way of Delagoa bay occasioned some surprise at first, but after the action of the Cape government and until an actual state of warfare. ex- ists it is recognized that the Portuguese government could hardly have acted oth- erwise. The British papers now solace themselves with the remark that Eng- land can easily prevent such shipments if a crisis demands extreme measures and ply unfriendliness toward Great Britain. The special dispatches from Johannes- burg express the belief that the volks- raad will oppose President Kruger going to Cape Town. General Joubert is cred- ited with saying, “There will not be war, but Great 'Britain will not get all she wants.” The uitlanders are much irri— tated at the prospect of further delays. Comments of London Papers. LONDON, Sept. 1.—The Cape Town correspondent of The. Daily Mail says: “Much disappointment is felt here at the proposal of a conference, as tending to prolong the agony indefinitely.” The Daily Cnronicle publishes the fol- lowing dispatch from Cape Town: “It is rumored here that Sir Alfred Milner, governor of the Cape Colony, contem— plates dismissing the Schreiuer ministry under his special powers. If he does, it is feared that a rebellion will break out, as the Dutch would believe that Great Blitain is lgain forcing Cecil Rhodes to the float. ” The P1etoria correspondent of The Daily Chronicle says: “President Kruger is not likely to agree to confer with Sir Alfred Milner at Cape Town, but he might go to Colesberg, just within the borders of the Cape Colony.” The Daily News says: "Mr. Chamber- lain’s dispatches exhibit a game of pa- tience almost in the aspect of comedy.” The Standard, however, says: "Diplo- matic dalliance only postpones the evil day and prepares for us a still severer conflict. Until we resort to decisive measures every day adds to the offensive and defensive strength of the Boers and proportionately fosters their infatuated belief in their own invincibility, which lies at the root of their obduracy. Thus we are confronted with an exceedingly grave question.” A petition from the Netherlands \Vom~ s Disarmament league has been pre- sented to the theen praying her in the name of womanhood and motherhood to avoid war with the Boers and saying it would “cast a frightful blot upon her majesty’s most glorious reign.” An other Conference Suggested. PRETORIA. South African Republic, 1 Sept. ].—The Transvaal’s note to Great Britain offering the five year franchise and the other concessions was strongly worded and explained that othe conces- sions were made with a sincere desire fully to settle all difierences, to put an end to strained relations and to avert a swer was requested. The note of Mr. Conyngham Greene in reply was concilia- tory and tantamount to an acceptance of the five year offer. It agreed to waive the suggested commission of inquiry pro- vided a representative to be appointed by Sir Alfred Milne'r should be given facilities in Pretoria to make an investi- gation of the franchise question and pro- vided the report of such representative should prove satisfactory. Otherwise the Transvaal governmentwas requested to await further suggestions from the im— perial government before submitting new proposals to the volksraad." Mr. Greene’s note, in conclusion, suggested a further conference at Cape Town. Cadet Smith Dismissed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—On the rec- ommendation of the Military academy the president has directed the summary dismissal from the service of' the Unit- ed States cf Cadet Philip FISmith of the third class “for harassing and an- noying a fourth class man." Smith was appointed to the academy from the Fifth district of Nebraska in June, 1897. 111 a memorandum in regard to the case given out at the war department it is, stated that "it is the intention of the secretary of war to inflict the most sum- mary and exemplary punishment upon all cadets cf the Military academy de— tectcd in hazing new cadets.” Preparing For the Census. HAVANA. Sept. 1.—-Governor General Brooke received the census inspectors and told them he had ordered all the ma- terial necessary for taking the census to be forwarded to the various headquar— ters in the provinces and had authorized the inspector for Havana to take posses- sion of the furniture and other articles now at Quinta de los Molinos. Mr. Vic- ;or H. Ohnstead, assistant director of the census, has been given a temporary office at the palace. where he is arranging the geographical division of the island. He has received numerous Cubans in search of positions connected with the census taking. ' Dewey Sails For Gibraltar. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Admiral Dewey advised the navy department of his sailing from Villefranche for Gib- raltar. It is expected he will remain there until about Sept. 15. His furthei - stay in foreign waters will be so short that the navy department is now holding all mail for the admiral and his asso- ciates on the Olympia. \ Major Harrison Well Again. HAVANA, Sept. 1.-—Major Russell B. Harrison, the‘inspector general, wires General Lee that he has overcome the l. yellow fever, adding that he has had the yery best nursing and care throughout.

McKinley’s Proclamation to Cuba. HAVANA, Aug. 31.—Governor Gen,- eral Brooke has received the following proclamation from the president: “'l'o the People of Cuba: The disorganized condition of youi island resulting from the war and the absence of tiny generally recognized authority aside from the tem- porary military control of the United States have made it necessary that the United States should follow the restora- tion of order and peaceful industry by giving its assistance‘ and supervision to the successive steps by which you will proceed to the establishment of an ef- fective system of self government. As a preliminary step in the performance of this duty I have directed that a census of the people of Cuba be taken and have appointed competent and disinterested citizens of Cuba as enumerators and supervisors. It is important for the proper arrangement of your new govern- ment that the information sought shall be fully and accurately given, and I re- quest that by every means in you1 pow er you aid the officers appointed in the pel- formance of their duties.” The Shamrock. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—-—The chale- lenging yacht Shamrock had many vis- itors as she lay at her anchorage off Tompkinsville, but none was allowed on board. Those who expected to see the yacht get under way and sail about the harbor were disappointed. The crew spent the forenoon varnishing the spars and scraping the deck and rails. David Barrie, with Captain Mathews and Chevalier de Martin, returned to the steam yacht Erin early in the morning. They had been to Boston ami Newport. At the latter phce they were entertain- ed on board the United States cruiser New York by Captain Chadwick and the other oliiccrs of that ship. They also had a peep at the Columbia. Cap- tains Hogarth and W'inge decline to say when they will put sail on the yacht and give her a trial. Her regular trial spins, however, will not begin until the day after Designer Will Fife, Jr., arrives with Sir Thomas Lipton and his party on the Campanla. which is expected to reach quarantine before dark on Friday night. .1 Dangerous Operation. 1'1'1'111‘1' 1.

Herrick’s liar Pills the old reliable and sure cure: COLD ’ STORAGE PAYS. ‘ In Present Conditions City Mex-chant. Reap a Big-Profit \Vhieh Fruit Grower. Should Sage. , The fruit farm is the proper place for. the cold storage of fruit. This is ac- knowledged new by the best authori- ties on cold storage. The reason for this' is that the fruit must of necessity be injured. and wasted in handling be- fore it reaches the cold storage in the cities. In order to keep fruits for a long time in cold storage they must be raised and packed especially for this. Dealers who receive a surplus of fruit in hot weather send part of it in cold storage for a few days to prevent its rotting on their hands, but this is vu'y dfifierent from the cold storage of fruits .. for a. long period until all of the other fruit is of the market. Thus grapes, pears, apples and similar fruits are put away in cold storage until long past middle winter. Then they are brought out and sold for fancy prices. The loss which the dealers suffer in handling this fruit is due to the de- terioration of the fruits while' in transit to the city. In the great lake grape dis- tricts in western New York the grow- ers have their own cold. storage, and they have found that the grapes picked from the vines and‘carried direct to the cold storage house keep‘ much better and longer than any put' in cold storage in the cities. These grapes can be mar- keted in the middle of winter without much loss from waste. The possibinties of cold storage on the farm will be appreciated by an- other generation and every large fruit farm will have its cold storage house. The ordinary ice house is used on some farms where ice can be easily obtained in the winter season. But the farmer situated inland from any body of fresh water is not rendered' helpless' fie ammonia and dry air process of £111le ing and making cold storage is even cheaper than using ice. It costs more at. the beginning to start an ammonia. cold—storage plant, but after it has once been erected the cost of main- taining it is cheaper than using ice. The dry cold air that comes from one of these cold-storage plants is better for the fruits than the damp air that prevails in an icehouse. The construc- tion of such a. cold-storage house'by a number of farmers in one locality would prove a. feasible plan, and in the ' end the cooperative work would pay. The lack of cold-storage facilities has caused thousands of dollars’ worth 02 loss on nearly every fruit farm of any size in the country. Not only would such a storage place be of inestimable value in keeping the fruits a few weeks to take advantage of the markets, but it would serve as a place to keep cer- tain fruits for out of season markets when prices always rule high. ,At pres- ent the merchants in the cities reap all this profit. —S.

' " The Milk cow’s Condition: As we havebefdre averred, the weak~ - est’ spot it: our dairypractice is the win- tering of the milkers, the condition of poverty they are allowed to run down to when dry. A milking cow should be poor once a year, not poverty stricken, but robust without flesh, and, that period should be at the drying-off point. As soon as a cow is put dry she should again begin to improve her condition and continue it surely to calving, otherwise she can never do her best. A proper cow will always run herself down the first three or four monthsof her milking season, and this is a very good index to a cow’s merit.—-< Agricultural Gazette (Tasmania).
