ORANGE FREE
STATE TO J
Is How Face to Face With Tbe
Question.
ENGLAND IS A
MERE FRIEND
The Transvaal is an Alfy Excitement
at Pretoria It is Believed There
V Xo Escape From War.
Ixi.vdon, Sept. 28. Tlio decision of the
volkertind of the Orange Free Stale to
jjiu with the T rannvnal in the event of
lioHtilitieB, although fully expected, is
the leading news today and will naturally
FtifTen the Boero' independent uttitude.
The raad'a resolution has made the
brotherhood of iirmB between the Trans
vaul and the Orange Free State, of which
hitherto there was only a strong pro
bability, un nbsoluto certainty, and the
Jritinh will hnvo to face the situation.
The yolksrand resolution was as follows:
''Having regard for the strained state
of nlHiirs thioughout the whole of South
Atrial, which has arisen in coneequenco
of the differences between the imperial
government of Great Britain and the
. government of the Trnnsvaal, which
threaten to lead to hostilities, the cal
amitous consequence of which to the
inhabitants will he inmcasurable.
"Huing connected with the Transvanl
by the closest ties of blood and confed
eracy and standing in mere friendly re
lationship witli the imperial government,
and fearing that should war break out
hatred between European races will be
born which will urrest and retard the
peaceful development of all the states
and colonies of Africa, und develop die
trust of luture;
"Feeling that a solemn duty rests
upon it, of doing everything possible to
avoid ehiddlngof blood j
"Uonnidering that the Transvial gov
ernment, during its negotiations with
tlu imperial government, which have
txtended over several months, has made
every endeavor to arrive-at a peaceful
solution of the differences raised by the
aliens of J,he Transvaal and taken up by
the imperial government as its own
caiiHe, which endeavor have unfortu
nately had only this result, that British
troops were concentrated on the border
of the Transvaal and are etill being
strengthened ; therefore be it
Jit-solved, That we instruct the gov
ernment still to use every means to
maintain and insure peace, in a peace
ful manner to contribute towards the
solution of the existing difficulties, pro
vided It be deemed uot violating the
honor and principles of the Fre) State
ud the Transvaal and the wishes of the
ministry to make known its opinion that
there exist no cause for war, and that
war against the Transvaal as now under
taken or occasioned by the imperial gov
ernment, will morally be war against the
whole white population of Africa, and
in its consequence criminal, for come
what may, the Free State will honestly
mil faithfully fulfill its obligations tow
ards (ie Transvaal by virtue of the
political alliance between the two re
publics." Intense excitement continues to pre
vail at Pretoria, whore apparently it is
believed that there i no escape from
war.

From tlio Times, lltllfctille, Vn.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
Bufl'dred so much misery that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the reeult, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain'
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and also some testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was entirely
well ot that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-sufferers
that 1 am a hale and hearty man to
day and feel as well as I ever did in my

John Bai clay, twenty-four years old,
and Forest FarrenB, twenty-one years
old, the prisoners, maden pitiable figure
in the court, and tho officers scarcely
had the heart to pursue them with the
law's retribution. They did not appear
to be capable of attempting bo Eerious a
thing as holding up the stage, and loot
ing the mails, and when was added to
the specific charge of the robbery the
fact that they had planned the daring
scheme to stopping and going through
the Oiegon Short Line train at Ontario,
ditching it first, and then compelling
the passengers and the express agents to
give up the wealth In their possession,
the case aseu red really ridiculous pro
portions. With no beard on their faces,
and to all appearances absolutely inex
perienced in tho world, there was noth
ing suggestive of the fierce highwayman
in their demeanor.
