At 11:30 o'clock last night President McKlnley nnd the members of his cabinet left Chicago for Kvansvllle, Intl. His departure, with the cheers of an Immcnso throng ringinn in his ears, brought to a close a day of genuinely hnrd work, In which the president had scarcely a moment of lclsuro for hlmnelf. The crowds which greeted him at every turn were so good natural and so dlsDosed to cheer that tho president, although vtarled when he reached his twin, ex pressed himself as having thoroughly enjoyed himself. The final numbers last night on tho president's extraordinarily lengthy Hat of engagements were a magnificent banquet by the Commercial club and his visit to n meeting of tho Chi cago Urlrklayers' nnd tono Masons' union, of which he wair. fortnight ngo elected nn honorary member. An oxcltlng Incident varied, and for almost n viomont threatened to upset the president's ceaseless round of ac tivities. While In his carriage on Con gress street en route to Memorial Hall to greet the members of the Society of the Army of the Tennossee, one of the norses attached to tho president's car riage became fractious ana evinced a desire to run. The driver had all ho could do to restrain the animal, and after ho had been tugging at the lines for several blocks the horse finally broke away and started on a run. Captain Matt Pinkerton, of tho Chi cago Hussars, a detachment of which had joined the procession, galloped beside tho unmanageable steed and grasped its bridle, bringing the animal to a slow trot. The captain main tained his hold the balance of the trip. The last parade of tho fall festival, the Industrial parade, was held last night. Tho people had evidently beon surfeited with parades, for only a very small crowd turned out to witness it, although a drizzling rain doubtless prevented many from coming down town. The parade was confined to floats sent out by business houses and was short, being not over halt an hour in passing a given point. A display of fire not on the parade program took place when tho Indus trial procession was passing along State street. A float representing n man reclining on a mountain of col lars and cuffs 'caught fire, and the frightened horses tried to rush upon the sltlowalk, which was lined with spectators. At this moment another fit. tit collided with the one on Are, and In a twinkling both were blazing fiercely. By this tlmo the people on the street were in a panic. Tho po lice were busy with tho burning floats and could not stop the crushing and roughness in the crowd. Children were stepped on nnd women reeled back Into tho crowd exhausted. To add to the excitement a bunch of fireworlw on one of tho lloats exploded. Through the smoke the police saw two women and three men on one float Imprisoned In the burn tig rack. They fought to get to the side of! the wagon, but wer. unsuccessful for n tlmo. When tho fire was put out it was found that Harry Lovell, who had Impersonated an Indian on one of the floats, was se verely burned. Ho will recover. A "umber of others were slightly in jured. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his col leagues, with the exception of Senator Dobell, Mayor Prefontalne and Mayor Payment, left tho Dearborn station last night for Canada. The depot was crowded with cheering people as the train pulled out. No such thing as "aummercomplalnt where Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is kept bandy.

The Transvaal government hna sent nn ultimatum to Great Urltaln. The ultimatum, which Is slgnsd by K. W. Reltr, secretary of state, concludes with tho following four demands: "I- That all points of mutual dif ference be regulated by friendly re- courso to arbitration or by whatever amicable way may lie agreed uiion by this government and her majesty's government. "2 That all troops on the borders of this republic shall be Instantly with drawn. 3 That all reinforcements oftroops which have arrived In South Africa since June 1, 1S99, shall be renioved from South Africa within a reason able time ta be ngreed upon with this government and with the mutual as surance and guarantee on the part of this government that no attack upon or hostilities ngnlnst any portion of the possessions of the British govern ment shall be made by this republic during the further negotiations, within period of time to be subsequently agreed upon between the governments; and this government will, on compli ance therewith, be prepared to with, draw the armed burghers of this re public from the borders. A That her majesty s troops which are now on the high seas Bhall not be landed In any part of South Africa." To these demands Is appended the definition of the time limit for a roply: This government presses for an im mediate answer to those four questions and earnestly requests her majesty's government to return an answer beforo or upon Wednesday. It desires fur ther to add that in the unexpected ovont of an answer not satisfactory being received by It within the Inter val, It will with great regret bo com pelled to regard the action of her ma jesty's govomment as a formal dec laration of war." It cannot be doubted that England's reply will bo a flat rejection of Presi dent Kruger's demands, and that at :15 this afternoon. English time, nn actual state of war will exist. Tho Transvaal's ultimatum Is natur ally tho absorbing topic of conversa tion at the clubs nnd In political circles Sill AI.rllKl) MILNE R. HARTINUS T. RTEV.V. There was no apparent excitement, however, but a general feeling was ex pressed that the Doers had made a mistake, as their forcing matters would tend to allenato the sympathy which might have been extended to them had they thrown the stigma of declaring war on Great Britain. Tho stolidity, if not tho placidity of the English character was never bet ter shown than It Is In London today, when England Is face to faco with war. There Is not a trace of tho excitement attendant upon the announcement of the result on tho night after the first race for the America's cup. It 1b a fact that the enthusiasm in London signally falls to compare with that which was shown In tho smallest American city upon the announcement of the war with Spain. But this must not be Interpreted to mean that England Is not alive to tho realities of the situation. The audac ity of the Transvaal's dispatch momen tarily stunned tho public, and It was only when under the glare of tho music hall lights and listening to the stir ring bars of the national anthem and other patriotic airs that the effect of tho momentary rebuff was lost In demonstrations that shook tho rafters. At the Alhambra General Sir Redvers Iiuller waB present. Tho first bars of "Ruin Britannia" brought tho entire audience to its feet, and for a quarter of an hour the house resounded with the choruses of national airs and with cheers. Underneath nil, however, officers, subalterns and civilians recognize the fact that the Transvaal campaign will not bo a picnic, and the sober reality of this gives a sterner note to London life than anything that has occurred since the days of Gordon and Khar toum. The text of the Boer ultimatum was sent with all speed to Lord Salisbury, who came to town yesterday afternoon, and a dispatch box was sent to tho Prince of Wales, which is only done In cases of especial urgency. The Portuguese minister to Great Britain, Senhor Soveral, called at the foreign office In tho afternoon and had an Interview with Lord Salisbury, and his visit Is naturally connected in the public mind with tho alleged purchase by Great Britain of Delagoa bay. A dispatch tending to confirm the re port of this purchase comes from Lou renzo Marques. It states that the Brit ish third class cruiser Philomel Is an chored 16 miles off the port, and Is sup posed to be waiting the arrival of transports and warships to pilot them Into the harbor. It is quite certain, however, that the transports would not go to Lourenzo Marques unless the British were about to lly their flag over the port. War preparations by Great Britain are being pushed with tho greatest en ergy. The Woolwich arsenal has al ready forwarded to South Africa over 3,000,000 cartridges for rifles and ma chine guns and the reservists continue to respond eagerly to the mobilization proclamation. Dr. Gavin Brown Clark, Radical member of the house of commons tor Caithness, who all along Eas worked hard for peace, has just received a characteristic letter of thanks from Commandant General Joubert, in which General Joubert declares that Cecil Rhodes, Dr. Jameson and Mr. Cham berlain are responsible for the mis chief. Ho says: "Tho Johannesburg cllquo say' that Mr. Chamberlain regards tho exlstenco of the Orange Free, State and tho Transvaal as two bloTd, which, as Cecil Rhodes has said, must be wiped out from the map. He Beems desirous to do this with the blood of the Afrikan der people and of the poor British sol diers. We do .not desire war. We Knnw wtrtire not a march tor the pow erful ar.nles of Oreat Itrltaln and her united colonies. We n"ver have been able to do anything against England's might. "Mr. Chamberlain la trying to drive us Into the Red sea. but 1 still hope God will speak to the kind heart of her majesty, the queen, and that of her noble people, and that they will not allow this wicked Hainan to cool his hatred scalnst our lands Mordecal. We are convinced that Chamberlain will try to conquer onr country, and we shall try to prevent him, by the help of God, to the last drop of our blood." A dispatch from Pretoria says: Owing to the state of the country gen erally and the sad circumstances which prevail It was officially announced that there would lie no birthday reception at the presidency. Matters are becom ing critical, and many of the burghers In the three main commandos are Im patient and feel that It Is suicidal to wall the arrival of overwhelming rein forcements from ICurope. The presi dent has done his utmost to stem this feeling. In the hope that diplomacy might still settle matters. During the past few days tele graph Ir conferences have been hold with President Steyn, and whatevot course shall be taken by the Trans vaal VIII receive the recommendation and support of the Free State. It Is freely rumored In the town and Is believed to lie correct, that the government assumed Its Arm position because Great Dritaln's new proposals have not arrived, though Mr. Coriyng- ham Greene. British diplomatic agent at Pretoria, Informed State Secretary Reltr nine days ago that they would be formulated In a few days' time. Consequently the burghers are alarm ed at the continued dispatch of troops from England and India. The Daily Mall's Cape Town corre spondent telegraphs that a short and very dignified reply has been communi cated to Conyugbam Greene, the Brit ish diplomatic agent at Pretoria, by Sir Alfred Mllner, British high com missioner, to be handed to the Uoer government today. A dispatch from Pretoria to a Cape Town newspaper says that Command ant General Joubert has issued a no tice to the troops In the different langors to hold themselves In readi ness for nn Immediate advance. The Transvaal, the dispatch also says. hopes to nrrange to send the European mails by way of Delagoa bay. "The Jewels of Hope' Is there any sadder or more ixiiiieiiu sijcl'-i--i i ii.j i.i ij uicie in una wunu than that of the poor woman weigh- wretchedness and suffering who is at last con vinced in her very soul that there is no more hope of healthy happiness on this earth f Or is there on the other hand any more de lightful and inspiring picture than that of the same woman when the spirit of renewed life comes to her again and holds up before her the jewels of hope, and the regal garments of rejuvenated health and happy complete womanhood? " I had been a suflerer for more than one year with severe depressing pains In my womb," says Mrs. Annie L. Mathews, a lady living at 310 Uroadway, Newport, R. I., in a thankful let ter to Dr R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. I seemed to have no life or energy, I was always In such misery. "At times I suflered so much I thought that death would be better for me. I had tried doc tors and different kinds of medicines but all failed to do me any good. I commenced to take Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription and also his ' PelleH.' and had only taken one bottle when 1 felt much belter. When I had taken four 1 felt entirely well. I continued to take it and to day I am in every way a well woman, and 1 have found that life is worth living. To all women who suffer with any womb trouble I would rec ommend this medicine. I thank the Lord that such a doctor as Dr Pierce was born." Delicate, pain -weary women need not hesitate to write to Dr Pierce.
