Knsr No LuiEcr Has Ooulrol or His
DOES NOT
WANT WAR
Hut Will Likely He Forced to It by
Younger Element British Govern
ment Has Hecn Massing Troops
fur Months and Is Ready for
Immediate Action Any Time.
Suattm:, Aug. 30. David L. Wilson,
who diiiinH to bo un agent of tho British
government, mid to hnve Important
impure for tiio homo odlcu, line Arrived
hereon ron to to Lonodan from tho Trims
vual. Mr. Wiluon says ho hue no doubt
that there will be u war.
"I Imvu been three yenrs in the Trnns
vnnl, and know the lenders of tho Boer
government wuM. President Krtiger dots
not want wnr. Ho is now an old and
infirm mnn. As Hueh be line not
tiiu control ol the cublnot that ho had
once. The cabinet is composed ot young
blood, who want independence and who,
I nmy eay, will never give up until they
have either attained it or been wiped out
ol existence by the English forces This
ie why I noy there will bo war.
"The story Bent out that General Jou
liurt lui8 been found that the reserve
flliull in the Pretoria forts aro Ineffective
is probably true. A partial knowledge
ol this fact has been known for some
time in Itntiah military circles. There
will bu no trouble in replacing the
ammunition, however.
"General .lout.Tt, 1 know personally,
ie oppoHed to war. He will lend the Boer
forces when tho wnr eomee. Ho is u
fighter, n man of courage, and will Eimply
be n sacrifice to bis ammunition. When
tho blow is struck it will be n fatal one
in thu Transvaal. The British huvo for
months been massing troops, and are
practically roady at this time, if neces
sity demanded immediate action."
Mr. Wilson takes issue with the sug
gestion that Han. Joseph Gbumberlniu
is in any way responsible (or the trouble.

NO CHANCE
FOR WOMEN
Are Practically Barred from the Gov
ernment Service,
Nkw Yokk, Aug. 110. A special to the
Herald from Washington save : Women
fo practically barred out of the govern
ment service in tho departments at
Washington. There is no concerted ac
tion itmoug the heads ot departments
and chiots of bureaus here to exclude
women from appointment, but whenever
thero is u place to be filled the head of
tho oillco invariably asks for a man.
This right to discriminate between the
exes Is recognized by the civil service
regulations, and when a requisition is
made lor a male clerk. stenographer or
typewriter, the commission certifies only
(he names ol men.
Civil Service Commissioner Harlow
id that the commission bad a long Hat
women stenographers and typewriter
llRtble for appointment, but they oould
not get the appointing oficere to take
them.

Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
Mr. Harlow, "which seem to influence
tho heads ot government oflicora to pre
fer men to womin. The principal one,
perhaps, is that while women may do he
well during the regular working hours,
if there is a rush and it is necessary to
work over hours, tho work can be
crowded on tho men better than on tho
women. Tho women are not to willing
to work over hours, nnd the heads of
office feel more reluctant in asking them
to do bo than is thu case with men."

Thomas, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, called the state conven
tion to order.
The opening prayer was made by Rev.
Kearney (Catholic.) He prayed for the
deliverance ot the Filipinos from the
"brute force" now being inflicted upon
them. The prayer was so radical that it
brought forth rounds of vociferous ap
plause. Judge Mooney, temporary chairman,
received an ovation.
After the adoption of the rules the
report on credentials waB presented. The
majority report was adopted with the
exception ot Highland county, from
which it was recommended that the
anti-McLean delegates be seated. The
minority report was related to Cuyahoga
county and recommended the Beating of
a Wilson delegation. A motion to substi
tute the minority for the majority report
resulted in yeas 0G1, noes 3S0. All of the
field against McLean voted in the
affirmative. Fifty-six contested votes
from Cuyahoga county could not be cast
on this ballot.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
entire Chicago platform and especially

ism in the United States ia declared.
