Sir John Moore said: "i hope there will not be war: but the necessities of the moment require a demonstration." The inspiring scene closed with the singing of the national anthem, the Lord Mayor leading. A similar demonstration took place at Fenchurch Street Station. The win. down in the neighborhood were crowd- ed with sight-sears. who showered miniature Union Jacks and squares of hunting. hearing portraits of the queen upon the passing troops. When the station was reached an incident occur- red typicnl of the readiness of the colo- nlsts to fight. . Viscount Hampden, former governor and commander-in-chief of New South Wales. was present. A sergeant mayor stepped forward and drew Hampden's attention to the' fact that he was wearing the same sword used by his lordship/ when the latter belonged to the New South Wales Lancers. Then iiampdcn was about to examine the Weapon when the sergeant. major cau- tioned him. saying: "That sword has been sharpened and is ready for ac- tive service." The reports from all the military centers show that the mobilization or- dcrs are received with the greatest en- thusiasm. now that President Kruger has taken the irrevocable step of is- suing an ultimatum. I The only wonder is why. if President Kruger is resolved. upon fighting. he has waited so long. The explanation seems to be that his hand has been forced by the fact that. the Boers have got out of control or that, if he should await the arrival of the British army corps, the chances of military success for him would he of the slimmest pos- sible character. The expiration of the time limit of . the ultimatum tomorrow evening does Lnot leave Great Britain much time to strengthen the present military posi- tion. although there are still a few troops at Durban.

October 10~Preaident Mc- Kinley had scarcely finished break- many of the delegations seeking at- tention reached the Auditorium. The delegation was composed entirely of laboring men, and the president was closeted with them for half an hour. The party was made lip principally of members of the Bricklayers’ and Stone Masons' Union. which some weeks ago made the president an honorary mem- ber of their organization. President Gubbina. of the Union. in the course of conversation mentioned. "the brick- layers‘ organization." "Our organization, if you please. Don't forget me," smiled Mr. McKinley. and the committee promised that he would always be remembered as a full fledged union bricklayer and stone mn- son. , The president asked many questions relative to the condition of Chicago's laboring people and expressed his plea- sure that they were “feeling the sheets of pronperity." The corner-stone trouble which arose from the employment of no-un- ion labor in cutting the first stone. and which for a time threatened the cere- mony of yesterday. was not spoken of. The president declared he considered it a compliment to belong to the Bricklayers' Union and pulled from an inside pocket the card entitling him to a voice in its proceedings. “i would like to have the internation- al body of which our union is a part, hold its convention of 1901 in Washing— ton," said the president as the build- ing tradesmen were about to retire. President Gubbina thanked him for the invitation and declared that the mat- ter would be laid before the delegates to the convention of 1900. A\QUEER lND‘llS FRY. Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go To ’ Waste. A singular and out little known in- dustry is carried on in New York city In the sale of oyster and clam shells. The dealers in this commodity pursue their calling in so unostentatious a way that it attracts no attention. From the eating houses where oysters ind clams are consumed the year round the shells are collected by per- sons who either carry on that business for themselves or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. it seems in- credible how large an area of ground can betmvered many feet deep with the conglomerate of shells and foreiln matter that la unavoidably collected with it and apparently amnigamatea without destroying the characteristics of the harder material.
