PREPARING FOR SPRING
The Assembling of British
Fleets for Service.
CABINET MEETING IN LONDON
The Ministers Had to Decide Several
Questloma of Vital Importance
to the British Empire,
London, Jan. 11. In view of the as
sembling of British fl eta for active ser
vice, and the many clouds hovering over
the horizon of politics, the cabinet meet-
ing today is entitled to runk as one-of
the most momentous in the history of
Great Britain. The ministers had to de
cide several questions of vital importance
to the British empire, including the
Acuities, and Great Britain's poeition j
toward the old European powers. It is
a striking fact that although the present
cabinet is one of the largest on record, it
is unanimous upon all the leading ques
tions under discussion.
The latest advices from the Transvaal
would seem, on their face, to indicate
that the situation is in no way as hope
ful as it was several days ago, in spite of
official statements to the contary, and it
is believed that the cabinet is- consider
ing most unlooked-for demands upon the
part of President Kxuger, demands
which it is estimated Great Britain can
not possibly concede.
On the stock exchange today there
were rumors that the government in
quiry will lead to the startling revelation
that the whole plot was hatched by a
group of financiers in London. In addi
tion, the statement is made by a finan-
1 a 1 i T" T 4.L
- ' I f J '
called "Kaffir King," who has consider
able holding in Delagoa bay, has offered
to sell the same to the British govern
ment, which is considering the matter.
This may explain the reported purchase
of Delagoa bay from Portugal by the
government of Great Britain.
The war feeling against Germany has
greatly subsided, and the issue of the
trouble is freely described as a rebuffior
Emperor William, inasmuch as the Ger-
I v. I .imti r iim i. . r 1 1 u iinriiKMi. i.iin nvi
man papers have changed their tone,
- and the papers printing what was re-
garded as inspired articles, and what
first threatened Great Britain, are now
distinctly climbing down.
Another feature of the situation is the
feeling that Prance, although she would
perhaps like to see Great Britain serious
ly injured, would never allow Germany
to win, but would seek a pretext, while
Germany was crippled, to secure revenge
for 1870-71.
.According to the Westminster Ga
zette, Germany's recent attitude on the
Armenian question has alienated Great
Britain and led to the reapproachment
of the latter country to France, and the
Marquis of Salisbury, It asserts, sug
gested to the powers an international
- agreement by which Russia was to be
entrusted with the pacification of Arme
nia. France and Italy, it is added, were
willing, but the proposition collapsed
through the opposition of Germany.
Discussing the Transvaal situation,
the Westminster Gazette regards the al
( leged demands of the Boers for compen-
sation with skepticism, and adds:
"It is a trivial qnestion, almost as in
significant as the ownership of a swamp
on either side ol the Schombergk line.
Meanwhile, preparations for war are
being actively pushed by Great Britain,
although little is heard from Germany
on the same subject. Three thousand of
Lee-Mittford rifles have been received at
Chatham for the warships, which are be
ing commissioned there to form a part
of the flying squadron, and the supplies
of cartridges, shells, provisions and other
warlike supplies are being added to in
all quarters every hour.

NO BOUNDARY DI8FDTE.
Only Most Pleasant Relations Between
Costa Blca and Nicaragua.
Washington, Jan. 12. Mr. Calve, the
charge d'affaires of Costa Rica, said to
day that the news' from Managua, Nic
aragua, about a boundary dispute with
Costa Bice was not corect, adding :
"There is not any question abont
boundaries. It is settled by the award
of the president of the United States, as
arbitrator. What remains to be done is
to mark out a boundary line materially.
To this end, Costa Rica sent a commis
sion into the field and retained it there a
year. This commission made a careful
survey of the line. Although Nicaragua
was bovnd by the terms of the treaty be
tween the two countries to form a simi
lar commission and co-operate with that
of Costa Rica, it did not do so, and for
this reason the contention is still unset
tled in this respect."
TROUBLE IS FEARED.
Oklahoma's Schools Blast Be Opened to
Both Black and White.
Peeky, O. T., Jan. 12. Conservative
people of this place fear trouble tomor
row between the white and black races.
According to the decision of the court,
the schools were opened for admission of
all races and' color. The fight has been
going on for three months. The board
voted a few days ago to suspend schools,
but the colored people sued out a writ of
mandamus, com pelling the board to open
them again. This was supported by
people who prefered mixed schools to
none, so the board was compelled to re
consider its action, and tomorrow the
public schools of the city will contain
both' whites and blacks. Several white
men declare they will keep their 'child
ren from school ; nor will they send them
where colored children attend. Colored
people are firm, and trouble is ex
pected. '
The popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the high esteem in
which it is helds leads us to believe it to
be an article of great worth and merit.
We have the pleasure of giving the ex
perience of three prominent citizens of
Redondo Beach, Cal., in the use of the
remedy. Mr. A. V. Trudel! says: "I
have always received prompt relief when
I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy."
Mr. James Orchard says: "I am satis
fied that Chamberlain's Cough remedy
cured my cold.' Mr. J. M. Hatcher
says: "For three years I have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my
family and its results have always been
satisfactory." For sale by Blakeley &
