An officer on going the rounds saw a fire and with help extinguished it just in time, for in a few minutes the interfor would have been blazing.

The fact is recalled that | in 1881, when the British were standing on the defensive, they were almost invariably successful.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 11.—A squabble has arisen among the members of the Board threat- | ens seriously to impair the usefulness of that institution. The trouble is all caused by a desire of Albert Boyen and Attorney James W. Cochrane, a minority of the board, to comply with a recent order adopted by the town Trustees requiring the library quarters to be removed to cer- tain apartments specially set apart for that purpose in the new High School building. These two gentlemen hawe the support of the town Trustees, and it is probable that in the end they will “win out,” although considerable ani- to-morrow again | mosity will doubtless be stirred up before a final settlement is reached. | Owing to the straitened condition of the city finances the Board of Town Trustees was unable to appropriate more than $500 to prepare the apartments in the High | School building for a library, but it is con- tended both by that body and by Messrs, Boyen and Cochrane that such a sum is | ample for the purpose. At a meeting of | the library trustees held last evening | lengthy resolutions were presented by | Charles Fish, Attorney Vincent Neal and | | Carter P. Pomeroy agalnst moving the | library into the quarters prepared for it, | the principal objection being that at least | $1000 would be required to make the rooms suitable for a library. They voted in fa- vor of the resolutions and Boyen and Cochrane against them. The rental of the rooms in which the | library is contained at present on Fourth street, near D, is $30 a month, and it is understood that if the library is not moved the Town Trustees will refuse to | pay this rental any longer. In such case | the institution will either have to be re- | moved or the rent pald by private sub~ | scription. As the sentlment generally is | | in_favor of removal, the burden will in| | all likellhood fall upon the shoulders of | the obstructionists. e | ESCAPES FROM PRISON. Mailbox Robber Stratton Breaks From a Penitentiary. | DENVER, Oct. 11.—James K. Stratton, caped from the penitentiary at Canyon City, where he was serving a sentence ot twenty-one years' imprisonment. Warden Hoyt says no tools were used, and be- lieves the prisoner must have receivea help from some one inside. Stratton es- caped from the same prison in Septem- | ber, 1882, and was recaptured a year later in Chicago. S “KID” ADAMS KILLED. Colorado Stage Robber Shot by a Deputy Sheriff. DENVER, Oct. 11.—A special to the Republican from Ouray, Colo., says: Sher- iff Edgar to-day received a telegram from Deputy Sheriff George Kuchen from Nor- wood, Colo., thirty-five miles west of here, announcing that he had killed John Carter, alias *“Kid” Adams, one of the | outlaws who held up the Sneffels stage near here a few days ago. No particulars are given. — Sewer Contract Awarded. RED BLUFF, Oct. 11.—Bids for the construction and material to complete the sewer system were opered last night by the Board of Trustees. The contract was awarded to the Pacific Construction :,;grwn.ny of San Francisco. The bid was the mailbox robber and forger, has es- | .

WARFARE OF THE PAST AND PRESENT CONSUL GENERAL WHITE DECLARES THE TRANSVAAL WILL W ‘Scores Chamberlain for His Policy, Closes His Office in London and Leaves for the Continent. ONDON, Oct. 11.—Montague White, Consul General of the South African Republic in London, closed the consulate this afternoon and immediately left for the Continent. Mr. White's departure was not attended by any excitement. Before leaving England he said: “The expected has happened. I only hope the hellishn of this premeditated crushing out of a hardy republic is now ap- parent. Let me remind America that the onus of war lies not upon those who fire the first shot, but upon those who compel it to be fired. “Technically we have temporarily put ourselves in the attitude of an ag- gressor, but who would not have done so when he believed the existence of his country was at stake? I think we must look far ahead to see the consequences of this war. Instead of the pacification of South Africa, which is the alleged m of England, we shall have perpetual unrest. These very people for whom land is now fighting will turn against her rule as bitterly as they are now ting against ours, or wecks I had seen England's determination to force a hostile issue—or rather Mr. Chamberlain’s. I am sure he Is the only member of the Cabinet whose mind was thoroughly made up throughout all the negotiations. What his intentions were is evident from the situation to-day. Had the franchise been the chief grievance our flve-year proposition would certainly have been accepted. 1 have reason to believe that England enters upon her warlike course by no means a unit. Opposition to Mr, Chamberlain’s policy exists to a greater ex- tent than is generally conceded. “‘Our evident desire to concillate has been much appreciated, and our refusal to allow our affairs to be administered by another nation has not excited genuine indignation here or in any quarter of the globe. However, Mr. Chamberlain has accomplished his purpose and all hope is gone. I believe, nevertheless, that a considerable reversal in British opinion would be effected by:any serious defeat, for most of those now supporting the Government are doing so with a light heart and on general principles, not stopping to count the cost of war.” Mr. White cited the Isandlwhama massacre as an instance of such a change in British opinion. He then said: “I suppose there can be only one ultimate resuit of the hostilities. duration of the war I am not able to guess. It seems to be a matter of the greatest uncertainty. T hear that Great Britain will not begin the wiping out ess until December. In the meantime we shall see what we shall see. I have received no speclal instructions or news from the Transvaal during the last forty-eight hours, and I expect none, having long ago received directions as to what course for me to take when matters reached this stage. I shall re- main on the Continent, and if anything further can be done to the interest of my Government, I shall, of course, endeavor to do it, although there seems nothing left but to fight to the bitter end.” Mr. White seemed much distressed over the rupture, and evidently did not entertain the least hope of Boer succes He said the Transvaal agency in Brussels would be continued as the European headquarters of the Government. En, pros As to the Mr. White's reference to the Isandlwhama massacre is an allusion to the attack made on J. 79, some 15,000 Zuius upon the Britlsh camp at Isandu about ten miles from Rorke's Drift, on the Tugela. Five companies of the Twenty-fourth Regiment with Colonel Dunford, Lieutenant Colonel Pulleine, and other officers, were massacred, the British total loss Leing about 837. Two thousand Zulus are said to have been killed. 03 TITLE GANED BY of great importance at that time, there was a strong d 4 vain with a desree of with our national following our national pre- 2 atment of Mexico for the ces- sion of te ory at the close of the Mexican | war.
