A disp itdh from Capo Town today
says tne' Irunsviial governniout lias sent
an ultimatum to Great Britain.
Thu text of the Transvaal ultimatum,
it is untverstood, is- on the way to tho
British foreign office. Aocordiug to the
latest ad vici'S the time limit expires to
morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, when, if
the demands of tho Boers are not com
plied with, the further landing or dis
patch of troops will be considered au
act of war and hostilities will commenoo
immediately.
In ordinary circumstances, as Great
Britain is the government making the
demand, 6b.n would be the dispatcher of
the ultimatum, and the-fat that tha
Boers have, tukeu the initiative is re
garded as rendering the situation more
serious and increasing the hopelessness
tf averting war.
.' 1). iiiuiKl-. 31. i 'If by lCIs;'.,
The Transvaiil ultimatum, which is
signed by F W. Reitz. secretary of
Ftate, begins with the to. lowing state
ment: Her majesty's unlawsul intervention
in the internal affairs of thii republic.
in conflict with the" London convention,
of 1884, by the extraordinary strength
ening of he-r troops in the neighborhood
of 'the borJ'ers of this repabiic. has
caused au intolerable condition of things
to arise, to which this government feels
iitlt' obhgod, in the interest no$ only
of thi- repubho. but also of all 'South
Africa, to make an end as soon as possi
ble, and this government feels itself
called u;ou and obliged to press earn
estly and with emphasis for au immedi

and to request her majesty's govern

following demands:

The more ueacefnl tenor of the morn.
ing's news and comments had scarcely
been digested and aroused hopes thai
President Kruger's birthday wduld'also
mirk the dissipation or the commence
mant of the dissiDatiou of the elond
hanging over South Africa, when the
sensational announcement that the
Tiansvaal government had handed a
. detinue ultimatum to the British diplo
matic agent in Pretoria caused a rapid
Inmp iu the hopes of those who believe
jhat diplomacy will yet save the situa
tion: Apart from this,; the news tends
to show that so long r as the Boers re
main inactive GFroat Britain will con
tinue to adhere to her present persuasive
methods. !
Tha speech of the Duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council of
ministers,1 at Sheffield j yesterday con
tains nothing to conlirm tha assertion
tiade by tho jingo press that the final
proposals of tha British government
will i continue sweeping, aggressive
Bchemss; and to this extent it has oiled
the waters. The pece party ven ad
duces from the cuke's utterance that a
reformulation of President Kruger's
proposals of a 5-year franchise, minus
the suzerainty pioviso, would lead to
such negotiations as would insure peace.
it is understood from the movotnent
of ministers and the activity in the gov
ernment offices that important develop
ments are imminent, although whether
they are pacific or 'warlike remains an
enigma. ' . ' j !
The official's at the; colonial office
worked all-night and Mr. Chamberlain
arrived there early this morning, j In
some quarters it is intimated that; the
government has received notification of
the Boer uhiinacnm, and uro relieved in
consequence, as tne government con-
siders the Boors are now placed in a po
sition of having forced on war.
Iirit iis EagiT to Fiht. ;
The reports from ail the military cen
ters show that the mobiiiza'ion orders
are received with the greatest enthusi
asm,' now that President Kruger has
crossed the rubicon and taken the ir
revocable step of issuing an ultimatum.
Ihe only wonder is why, if President
Kruger is resolved npon fighting, he has
waited so long. The explanation seems
to be that his hand has been forced by
the fact that the Boers have got out of
control or that if he awaited the arrival
of the British army corps the chances of
military success for him would be of the
slimmest possiole character. . 1
The expiration of the time limit of the
ultimatum, tomorrow evening, does not
leave Great Britain much time' to
Btrengthon tha present military, posi
tion, although' there are still a few
trocpa at Durban, Natal, available ; for
dispatch to the front, but the govern
ment will doubtless now adopt tne sug
gestion to form the refugees from the
Rand into volunteer regiments.
The effect of the news of the Trans
vaal ultimatum upon ' the Stock Ex
change was steadying. Kaffirs were
firmer iu the belief that the most gigan
tic gold industry in the world will be
incorporated in a British colony as the
outcome of the war. j
Outside the momentous news of the
ultimatum, nothing of rhomeut has been
received this moruiqg from the scene of
aotion except the announcement that
the Boers have constructed forts com
mandiug Lamg's Neck and that the
runs have been mounted on Mount
Pogwane and Mount Prospect.

"Whatever official feeling may i be.
there i- no mistaning the significance
of the great manifestation, combined
with the war spirit, of imperial solidar
ity that occurred in the - streets of Lon
don this morning when the New South
Wales lah ers traversed the city to em
bark for South Africa. I Thousands as
sembled to do homage to the little hand
ful of soldiery representing the empire's
loyalty. i
From the arrival of the .squadron at
Waterloo station to the embarkation cn
the railway train at Fenchurch street
station, tumultuous scenes of wild en
thusiasm marked the route traversed.
The bands were allowed to play noth
ing but "Soldiers of the Queen," "Rule
Brittania" and "God Save the Queen, "
in which the dense crowds joined.
It is doubtful if such a frenzied wel
come was over before witnessed in Lon
don. There was an incessant roar of
cheers and song until the Mansion House,
the official residence of the lord mayor
of London, was reached. Here traffic
was completely blocked by the surging
throngs, and it was only with the great
est difficulty that the lord mayor, Sir
John Voce Moore, in the full robes of
office, restrained the singing and vocif
erous cheering while he addressed ; the
colonial troops, wishing them Godspeed
and expressing the interest of the coun
trv in their hero.c -determination to a3
Bist in asserting imperial -authority in
South Africa. I J . . !
Sir John Moore said:
"I hope there will not be war, but tha
necessities of the moment require
demonstration of authority." i
The inspiring scene closed with j the
singing of the national anthem, i the
lord mayor leading. J
An Ovation to Soldiers. .
A similar demonstration took place at
Fenchurch street station. Ihe win
dows cf the neighborhood were crowded
with sightseers, who showered mm
iatnre union jacks and squares of bunt-
ins bearing portraits of the queen upon
tho riMsinir troops. When the station
was reached an incident occurred typi
cal of the readiness of the oolonists to
fieht !
Viscount Hampden, former governor
and commander-in-chief of New South
Wales, was present. A sergeant major
temoed forward and draw Tjord Hamtu
an s uttenri'Vn to the fact that he was
wearies the same sword used by his
lordshin when he belonged to the New
South Wak-s lancers.
Lora Hampd'ui was about to examine
the weapon when the sergeant major
cautioned him, saving: .
"That sword has been sharpened and
is ready for active service?"
It is reported that at tne coming ses-
Bion oi parliament lormai anno-jnee

ROSPERITY H THE SOUTH.
Hlgh. r Prices H or Cotton Kxpcted to
Hl-lfisr ocid T UK'S.
Baltimore, Oct. 6 The one thing
which has been lacking to make well
rouuded and general prosperity for the
south prosperity for tho ; farmers as
well as .for the manufacturers has
come, says The Manufacturers' Record
in its y.-eekly review of tht; southern in
dustrial; conditions. The advance in
cotton,, if the price ruling today holds,
as it probabiy will, means that southern
farmers ,will receive at least $75,000,01)0,
possibly $ 100,000,000 more for this year's
crop than for that of lust year.
The addition of $75,000,000 to 510,-
000,000 to the value of the snuth's qot-
ton, the production by tha country at
large of about 2 500,000,000 bushels of
corn, or .about SO, 000,000 bushels more
than the largest crop ever before raised,
the high, prices which cattle raisers are
getting and the ocormous demand for
all kinds of agricultural products by rea
son of the general employment of the
people at good wages, are factors in the
business situation whioh must have a
very telling effect.
The farmers this year tire going to be
prosperous, last year western iarniers
were in good shape-and southern farm
ers were trying to get on solid ground
by close economy. This year western
farmers, with their magnificent corn
crop and a fair wheat yield, added to
higher prices for live stock, will be in
olover, and their southern brethren will
wind up the season with less debt and
more spending money on hand than for
some years. ! : ,
Add to these facts that every railroad
is taxed to its utmost; that the iron
trade is crowdedjis never before, with
sales a year aSadi magnificent profits;
that nearly all other branches of trade
are doing equally as well, and we have
a uniform condition of activity and
prosperity such as has not been seen for
a long time.

UNIFORM RATE AGREED ON.

!' or All 3t "Shk.'i.
CoLUMiitA. 8. O, Oct. 7. After sev
eral months of sparring, the Western
Union and the stato-rnLroad commission
have come to an amicable agreement
about rates. At one time it seemed that
suits against - tne company snd much
litigation would result from the position
taken by the commission, which was
that the rate on 25 cent messages should
be reduced to 24 cents. This was to go
into effect to make the company pay the
revenue stamp.
After holding consultations with the
commission and the; attorney general,
the legal representative of the Western
Union made another proposition which
has been accepted. It does not affect a
large part of the state. The substance
of the agreement is that all messages in
South Carolina will be at the uniform
rate of 25 cents.
Heretofore there have been a number
of points between extreme sections
where the charges nave been 40 cents.
The Western Union objected strenu
ously tti making a preoedent of paying
for revenue stamps.
BILL
OF EXCEPTIONS FILED.
Suit Asuinst Mm Cfiitrxl Gooa Ilofore
Supreme Court.
Atlanta, Oct 7. A bill of exceptions
in the case of the state against the Cen
tral Railroad of Georgia has been filed
in the Putnam supc-Tior court by Judge
Turner of the prison commission.
The bill of excebtions was filed by the
counsel for the state since the "judg
ment of thu oourt was rendered in favor
of the Central railroad and against the
contention of the state that the Central
had" violated the constitution in defeat
ing or attempting to defeat competition.
The, bill, it is understood, does not
allege any specific error in the decision
of Judge Hart of the Ocmulgee circuit,
but is based on the broad ground thai
in deciding that the Central railroad
had not violated the constitution by the
purchase of the Middle Georgia and Ea
tonton branch road, the court was in
the wrong and had committed error.
The effect of this, it is said, will be
that before the supreme court the entire
esse will come up for revision and not
any one particular point in it. .
