Y. , puts its value at $3,00j9 : , on the basis of what stocks were worth May 12 last. The fund for the return of the sol diers of Dakota bus passed $20,000 , and next week's remittances will certainly carry it to the point where the amount will be sufficient to bring the boys home.

The supreme court of Panama has granted leave of absence to all subal tern employes belonging to the judicial administration , their salaries now be ing over eighteen months in arrears.

While agreeing that the joint inquiry proposed by Mr Chamberlain cannot be asked as a cutter of right , we believe such a commission will provide a way out of the difficulties which are fast approaching preaching a crisis , with results which might prove fatal not only to the civil and free state brethren , but also to the Afrikander party of Cape Colony. In the presence of immediate danger and the momentous issues awaiting the decision of your honor , the exec utive and the Volksraad , even the risk of being misunderstood is of a minor importance. We beg your honor to lay these words , only dictated by a keen sense of our common interests and risks , privately before the execu tive and Volksraad. " This message , which was signed by fifty-three members of parliament , re ceived the following reply from Pres ident Kruger : "I wish you ami your sympathizers will notice , as you have doubtless already seen by the reply of the imperial government , that we have , according to your desire , con sidered the matter and accepted the invitation to the joint commission. Why the acceptance was delayed is shown by the dispatches published. DIG COAL FAMINE IN SIGHT. Itailrcnds Unable to Furnish Gars foJ tls > Coal 3Tcn. CHICAGO , Sent. 22.
