Still -Hope For Peace.
London, Oct. 6. Although lotlay's
news from South Adieus grave, the ad
herents otpec ittil der'.VJ hope from
the dispatches that the stage of negotia
tions is not yet past. The news is cop
trailiotory. Side by side with the an
n mncemcnt that the B.oers have occu
pied Laing'a Nek is printed a diepatt'h
from Pretoria stntfng that'the Transvaal
gjveriimont ieeued strict, injunctions to
tlie commnndante that illrltiah territory
must not be Invaded, and that Ueperal
Joubert lias issued a proclamation
tlireHtening to tlioot any man who
crosses the border. There.is no evidence
going to show that the Burghers con
template retreating.
Up to '2 o'clock this afternoon nothing
bad arrived to cquQrm the dispatch from
Newcastle to the Daily Telegraph, ac
uouueing that the advance of the Boor
forces began yesterday. The alleged Boer
advance coincides curiously with ajnuil
taneops.telegrams from various quarters
regarding a Boer ultimntnni, and the ex
plration of the limit tin the evening. A
distinctly serious and ugly statement
comes from Newcastle to. the effect that
armed KafUrs accompany tho Boer com
munderf. This would be an absolute
breach of -tlio conditions euppoeed to
govern warfare among civilised nations,
and if true, presages scenes worse than
even the gloomiest forecast.
Wrecked In Straits of Magellan.
Santa. Monica, Oct. 5. Captain
Bowen, of tho ship Arctic Stream, from
Hamburg, reports 'that on August 11,
while, pfTStoten Island, pear the Straits
of Majellan, he saw Jhe,B;tlsh shjp Gil
ford take men from an open boat. By
signaling he learned from tlio Gilford
itttat she had reicud five piambera,of the
crew of the British steamer Tekba, .which
bad been wrecked on Staten Island
several days before. The Tekoa had been
on a passage from New Zealand to
London, wilt a number of paesengeis
and u lage consignment of refrigerated
beef. The rescued men knew nothing
of the fate of the passengers or others on
the steamer.

IS INSANE
FROM REMORSE
Ex-Policcrnan Who Was a "Star Wit
ness" in a Murder Trial.
Cjika.v, Wash., Oct. 4. R dney Mor
rison, formerly a policeman here, lias
been adjudged insane, aud will be .taken
to Medical Lake tomorrow. Eximining
physicians report that liis condition if
apparently the result of remorse. List
January, while Morrison was engaged in
a drinking bout with a man named
Campbell, the latter became involved in
a dispute with the barkeeper, and shot
and killed him. At Campbell's trial
Morriscn's evidence waa of so exculpat
ing a character that he was dubbed "the
star witness" by his friends, The con
tempt implied by the term has worn on
Morrison, and lias resulted in his
insanity.
