London. Eng. October fi—All the re-
liable intelligence from South Africa
points to a continuance or the existing
«situation for some time. as both sides
are apparently diffident about com-
mencing the attack. although from the
despatches received here. it seems as
if every movement of a patrol and ev-
ery cloud of dust raised by a herd of
cattle was turned into a general ad-
vance by both armies.
The delay is all to the good, inas-
Engels as it gives time for further neg-
:fions. Today‘s indications appar-
ly show a willingness on the part
“of the British government to continue
. to utilize diplomacy.
A well defined conviction is preval-
.L cut that the foreign ofilce is trying to
i. discover a way out of the Impasse

evident that peace advocates anti penci-

ity of accepting Great Britain‘s prev-

als remain unformulatcd. 8001118 to
show a personal determination on flit-
part of the. secretary of state for the
colonies not to yield an iota ill the in-
terest of peace.
While the distance for war evidently
increases in Great Britain. tiespatcllos
from the scene of possible hostilities
grow more and more lurid. Advices
from Pretoria describe the Transvaal
organs as crying for impossible terms
and President Kruger as referring to
the prescriptive struggle as a means oi
setting the republic "totally free of
England."
It is also said. according to advices
from the same point. that the Boer
forces at Volksrust will advance today
to the Natal border. and according to
General Symons. although (.‘ommano
der General Joubcrt is personally
averse to hostilities, his patient tactics
will not last. as the Boers will soon
either demand to be disbanded or to
receive orders to invade Natal.
Dispatches from Cape Town of

organization in the field is already
breaking down and that friction is de—

ENGLISH RID TAPII.
It Took a Broken Leg to Get the Chair
Repaired.
it is stated that one morning recent-
ly a young fellow who had inst secured
a clerkship in a government office was
considerably startled by a little menu
that he witnessed. An elderly man.
one of the senior clerks in the room,
suddenly rose from his denlt. dragged
the comfortable chair on which he had
been sitting .into the middle of the
room. seized a poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one'o‘f its legs. When it was
done, the oiilcial gave a sigh of relief
tin-d flung the chair into a corner of the
room. The budding junior’s first
thought was that his senior had nud-
denly taken leave of his senses. and he
almost expected that his colleagues
would put him under restraint. But to
his astonishment the other clerks
hardly raised their eyes while the work
of destruction was in progress. Before
the oiIice. work was over the newcomer
nought information from one of his
fellow clerks.
“Can you tell me.’ said he, "why
Mr. Dash carried on in that extraordi-
nary fsshiun? I mean, of "our". when
he broke a perfectly soul. i leg off the
chair in which he had been sitting.
"Oh. that was all right!" replied the
other with a meaning laugh. "A caster
had come off. one of the legs of that
chair. and you will know. ‘my lards'
will not provide us with new casters:
they will attend to nothing less than
a broken leg. So Dash had to break
one of the legs to get his chair but
right at the public expense."—London

gaining in popularity; it is made to fit the
body as closelyas a glove fits the hand,
thus with less ‘weight gives as much
