"Tho Johannesburg clique say that Mr.

blotH which , ns' Cecil Rhodes has said , must
ho wiped out from the map. He seems de
sirous to do this without the blood of th *

"Mr. Chamberlain Is trying to drive us

ULTIMATUM BY TRANSVAAL
niKer'n < ioirnmml SCTM ( lie LnNt

CAPETOWN , Oct. 10. The Transvaal
government has sent an ultimatum to Great
Britain.
LONDON , Oct. 10. A London news
igency publishes the following dispatch
from Pretoria , flled there at 7:40 : p. m. yes
terday' ' - - " ' ' . - ' " " '
"An urgent dispatch has Just been handed
to Conyngham Greene , the British diplo
matic agent , requesting an explicit ansur-
inco of the withdrawal within forty-eight
hours ot the British troops from the
Transvaal borders , as well as the with
drawal ot all the British forces landed In
South Africa since the Ulocmfontcln con
ference. "
The diplomatic circumstances surrounding
the presentation of the ultimatum are prob-
ibly without precedent. Ordinarily a foreign
power when addressing peremptory demands
to nnother sends them through an ambassa
dor or minister accredited to Its adversary.
The Transvaal government , however , has
no diplomatic representative recognized by
Urcnt Britain. Montague White , the Trans
vaal consul general In London , would not be
received by either the foreign office or the
: olonlal olllce , consequently President Kruger
wns joduccd to handing the ultimatum to
donynghaW Greenc'nl Pretoria , who In turn
wired It to Sir Alfred Mllner , British high
commissioner In South Africa , by whom It
was retratiBinlttcd'to Mr. Chamberlain" , who
thus becomes the first secretary of state for
the colonlcn to rocelvo nn ultimatum. As
roan nc ttia communication Is translated
from the Cipher in which It is transmitted
Mr. Chamberlain will forward It to the for
eign ofilcc-
rroNNen n Slinrp Nnle to
The Westminster Gnzetto BB > B :
"Wo lenrn from a trustworthy source that
thw British 'government 1ms also dispatched
& note containing stringent demands , which
'
must" have crossed the Boor ultimatum.
Diplomacy has thus tnlil Its last word ; nnd
the last word on cnch tddo Is ot the kind to
ivhleh the other Is not In thu least likely to
'
Meld. "
The more peaceful tenor of the morn-
Ing's news nnd comments had scarcely
beo'n digested and aroused hopes thnt Presi
dent Krugor's birthday would also mark
the dissipation or the commencement ot
the dissipation ot the clouds banging over
South Africa , when the sensational an
nouncement that the Transvaal government
had handed a definite ultimatum to the Brit
ish diplomatic agent In Pretoria caused a
rapid clump In the hopes of these who be-
llevo that diplomacy will yet savo" thesitu -
Ulan.
Apart from this the news tends to show
that so long aa the Boers remain Inactive
Dreat Britain will continue to adhere to Its
present persuasive methods. The speech of
the duke of Devonshire , lord president of
the council of ministers , nt Shelllcld yester
day , contains nothing to confirm the ns-
cortlon made by the jingo press thnt the
IImil proposals ot the British government
will contain sweeping aggressive schemes ;
and to this extent It has oiled tbo waters.
The pcueo party even deduces from the
duke's utterances that a reformulation of
President Kruger'a proposals of a five-
year franchise , mliuia tln > suzerainty pro-
vUa. would lead to such negotiations us
would ensure peace.
It. U understood from these movements of
ministers and the activity In the govern
ment olllcos that Important developments
are Imminent , although whether they arn
pacific or warlike remains an enigma.
The odlclals at the colonial ofllce worked
all night nnd Mr. Chamberlain aril veil
there early thld morning. In some quar
ters It IB Intimated that the government
lifts received notification of the Boer ulti
matum and IB relieved In consequence , as
th > government considers the Boer * now
placed lu a position of having forced on
war.

Imperial polldarlty that occurred In the
streets of Ixindon this morning whwi the
New South Wales Lancers traversed the city
ta embark for South Africa. Tens of
thousands assembled to do homage to the
llttlo handful of soldiery representing the
empire's loyalty.
Krom the arrival of the squadron at
Waterloo station to the embarking on the
railway train at Fenclmrch street station
tumultuous scenes ot wild enthusiasm
marked the route traversed. The bands
wwo allowed to play nothing but "Soldiers
of the Queen , " "Rulo Britannia" and "God
Save the Queen , " In which the dense crowds
joined.
It is doubtful It such a frenzied welcome
was ever before witnessed In London. There
was an lnceaant roar of cheer aud s.ng
until the Mansion house , the ofllclal
resldcnco of the lord mayor of London , wns
reached. Hero traffic was completely blocked
by the surging throngs , nnd It was only
with the giL-alest dlfllculty that the lord
mayor , Sir John Voce Mcoro , In the full
robes of office , restrained the singing and
vociferous cheering while he addressed the
troops , wishing them Godspeed aad ex
pressing the Interest of the country In their
heroic determination to assist In asserting
Imperial authority In South Africa.
Sir John Moore said : "I hope there will
not be war , but the necessities of the
moment require a demonstration ot author
ity. "
An Inspiring scene closed with the slng-
InK of the national anthem , the lord mayor
leading.
A similar demonstration took plao at
Fenchurch street station. The windows In
the neighborhood were crowded with sight
seers , who showered miniature union Jacks
and squares of bunting bearing portraits
of the queen upon the passing troops. When
the station was reached an Incident occurred
typical of the readiness of the cclofllsts to
fight. Viscount Hampden , former governor
and commander-ln-chlef of New * South
Wales , was present. A sergeant major
stepped forward and drew Lord Hampden's
attention to the fact that bo was wearing
the same sword used by his lordship when
the latter belonged to the New South Wales
lancers. Lord Honipden was about to ex
amine the weapon when the sergeant major
cautioned h'lm , saying : "That sword has
been sharpened and Is ready for active
service.1'
The representatives from all the military
enters show that the mobilization orders
ro received with the greatest enthusiasm
ow that President Kruger has crossed the
lublcon and taken the Irrevocable stop of
ssulng an ultimatum. The only wonder la
vhy. If President Kruger is resolved upon
Ighting , he has waited so long. The ex-
ilanatlon seems to be that his hand has been
orced by the fact thnt the Iloers have got
out ot control , or that , If he awaited the
arrival of the British army corps , the
chances of military success for him would
> e of the slimmest possiblecharacter. .
The expiration of the time limit of the
ultimatum tomorrow evenlmj dbt\s not leave
Great Britain much time to strengthen the
present military position , although there are
still n few troops'at Durban , Natal , available
or dispatch to the front , but the govern
ment will doubtless now adopt the suggestion
o form the refugees from the Rand Into vol
unteer regiments , thus , while relieving their
distress , utilizing excellent material.
Outsldo of the momentous news of the ultl-
natum nothing of moment has been received
this morning from the ocene of action ex
cept the announcement that the Boers have
constructed forts commanding La'.ng's Nek
and that guns have been mounted on Mount
I'ogwano and Mount Prospect.
The Transvaal ultimatum It Is understood ,
Is on the way to the British foreign office.
According to the latest ndvlcca the time
Imtt expires tomorrow afternoon at 5
o'clock , when , It the demands of the Boers
are not compiled with , further landing or
dispatch of troops will bo considered an act
of war and hostilities will commence Im
mediately.
In ordinary circumstances , as Great Brit
ain Is the aggressor , It would be the dis
patcher of the ultimatum and the fact that
the Boers have taken the Initiative Is re
garded as rendering the situation more seri
ous and Increasing the helplessness of avert
ing war.
A dispatch froni Durban , Natal , dnted yes
terday , snys :

FIND THE TRUNK OF A WOMAN
New Vorlc Ilaii'iiiliinlly ntvlim t'n

licrctl Hotly ,
NEW YORK , Oct. 10. The upper part ol
a woman's body was found on the heach at
Quarantine ) station at 7 a. ra. today hy John
Helncman , 12 years old. The portion of the
body found wns from the wnlst line to the
neck. The appearance of the llcsh la quite
fresh and It had been but it short time In
the water. It was tied up with twlno nnJ
plccca of manlla paper and newspaper were
clinging to the twine. Most of the paper Is
washed away. Over the right breast Is a
cut about two Inches lonir. lint Dr. Tlnfv.
the state health ofllcer , snys It Is merely a
llcsh wound , anil probably Indicted while
cutting the body In pieces. The doctor says
this portion of the body Is the upper part of
a young woman who had never been a
mother. The part where the head Is cut off
le quite jagged and the head had evidently
been hacked off. The arms weio cut oft close-
to the shoulders and are also cut off In a
clumsy manner.
The fltst portion of the body was picked
up In Seventeenth street near Seventh ave
nue and was the left thigh from a few
Inches above the knee to the waist. The
second part , which was recovered from the
river , was the loft loin and this fitted upon
the upper portion of that found In the
street. The description of the find at
Quarantine Indicates that the trunk of the
body Is now complete. The latest found
part has not yet been brought to the
morgue , where the other parts are kept.
A name thnt looks like "J. J. Ne-uman , "
and the laundry mark "J. J. N , 1S3 , " were
discovered this morning on ono of the white
skirts In a bundle of clothing found In the
basement of 219 West Fifteenth street.
This houseIs next door to the arcaway In
which stood the ash con where the right
thigh of the murdered woman was found.
The letters forming the name are not dis
tinct. They arc partly washed out and a
little blurred. The "J. J. N. " of the laun
dry mark Is distinct , however , and is ex
pected to lead to the Identification of the
owner. It will then be easy to learn
whether or not she was connected In any
way with the crime.
Chief of Detectives McClusky said this
morning that the case was as complete a
mystery as ever , that no point that would
go tovard establishing Identification was
found and that was the first thing neces
sary. It was true , he said , that a number
of cases had been run down , but the case
stands juet as It did at the first finding of
the part of thebody. .
Captain McClusky thinks the parts found
last night at 219 West Fifteenth street have
no bearing on the case. In his opinion the
bundle was left where It was foundby .a
frightened thief. Even with the portion of
the body found off quarantine Captain Mo-
Clusky thinks Identification will be almost
Impossible unless the head should be found.
The fragments of the woman's body found
at Quarantine were examined nt the morgue
by Coroner's Physician Wcstcn , who sajs they
undoubtedly belong with the other two portions
tions there. Captain JlcClucky said this
afternoon the bundle of clothing found in
West Fifteenth street belonged to a profes
sional nurse.

The heat of the campaign hns driven Iho
faithful few from Uielr posts at the helm

popocratlc headquarters , where they nro
concerting their , cfforts In the mighty task
of rescuing the old ship "Reform" from
Inevitable destruction. The movement to-
wnrils this pOiOt Is general from nil
branches tf the slhto government under
popocratlc control. The popocratlc icommlt-
tees have called for aid and there was a
ready response. Even the eecrctarlcs of
the Hoard of Transportation , each of whom
draw $2,000 n yeai1 from Ui state , have
put their shoulders to the wheel and arc
working with their fellow reformers to
save the Halo for Uryan. The Board of

wcro aaiong the first to volunteer their ser
vices to the campaign committee and Sec
retary Jim Dahlman Is performing faithful
servlco for the -democratic machine In
Oiuahii. Across the state house corridor
In the olllco of Land Commissioner Wolfe ,
there was also a ready response. Deputy
Xclson , who asked for an Increase In salary
last year because he was overworked , did
not hesitate to throw off the burdens of
state to accept the secretaryship of the
pcpullst committee. The treasurer's office
Is represented by Charles DeKranco , who
has been appointed ofllclal press correspon
dent for the populist committee. 11. G.
McEnteo of Governor I'oynter's staff of

riiNloii .Machine INeeiln OH.
The fusion machine Is not working to
perfection for the reason that a great many
of the warhorpes who helped to build up
the populist party now refuse to get Into
the harness. For some time Chairman Ed-
mlsten has been addressing frantic letters
to old-time , popullsta asking them to go
out and slump the state. One of those moat
sought aftpr was G. A. Abbott cl Illohardson
county. Abbott made speeches over the
state for several 'pars and In 1S9S was a
member of the platform committee at the
populibt ftalo convention.
It seems that Abbott does not take kindly
to the new style of reform. A letter which
ho recently wrotp .to Edmlsten lias been
seen , and roads In part as follows :
\\1mt shall our sjfcalcers say to the voters
tihls fall ? It will not do to point to the
lOtteu fusion . .record at the state house ,
with the sysiemafltf plans for holdups and
the ralriB on tlt 'twasury. Lawlessness runs
rampant then- , and the free-pass curse
known no end."Ift defying- public pentlment
our present state houna gang beats till re
publican records. Meserve even made u
statement to the legislature that ho pro
posed to do ns his predecessors had done.
We sent one man up there whom we knew
could lo trusted Ho protested manfully
among that crowd for two ye'ars and did
his best to have things go us they should.
But evpry crook and the entire free-pass
gang tried to break him down. Every one
of you , from janitor up to the highest ofll-
cer , helped to persecute Llchty , ulid the
entire 100 of you rejoiced when he was
finally driven from the capital.
By no means allow any ot your speakers
to talk state Isfnies , The record of our men
lu power forbids any such thing. Tell your
men to talk nbout th. > Philippine war anil
keep the minds of the voters on the other
side of the earth. Thnt Is nil that Is left
( or the "hold-up" gang and the free-pabs
grabbers to do.
And why don't some of you take a good
hickory club mid knock out what little
brains old Uuck Tibbies has In hls > bullet-
Bh.ipeil head ? The Independent used to be
a creditable party weekly and opposed rot
tenness among ; our le.iders. But for the last
eight months the editorials In lliat paper
have been a shame to the party. If is now
simply laughing tftock In this county. Sin
cere pQpullsth despise a man who takes
money from our leaders to defend their
crookedness.
It Is Bald , that too fusion leaders hero are
receiving many &ich rebuffs , and these , to
gether with thq refusal of such men qs Bur
rows , Gaffin and O'Shra to have anything
to do with the campaign , make the state
house clerks at the populist headquarters
very unhappy.
Corrupt I'rncllppM Aet.
Tile managers of the popocratlo campaign
have adopted a clever plan to evade the
requirements and provisions of the corrupt
practical act. Under the law an Individual ,
committee or organlatlon of any kind Is
prohibited from expending more than a
specified amount In promoting the nomina
tion or cjeptlon , of any candidate for .offlco
created by the constitution or laws of the
state. This amount Is In proportion to the
number of voters. The plan of the popo-
crats IB for the 'three campaign committees
to eadi claim the entire vote , notwithstand
ing they have- only ono 'ticket ' In the field.
In this way each of Hie three may spend
as much as the republican committee.
Section 3 of the corrupt practices act ,
bearing upon this subject , reads as follows1
To pay out , give , contribute or expend , or
offer or agree to pay , give , contribute or
expend any money or other valuable thing

SCHUYLEIt , Nob. . O-t. 10. ( Special Tel-
gram. ) A rousing opening of the campaign
by Chaplain Mnllley before n splendid audi
ence In llohnian's opera house tonight \\as
made In a speech full ot food for thought
for eld voters as well as for those Just
reaching majority. The speech was remark
ably well received , the enthusiasm Raining
as the chaplain made his strong points suid
hurled Ills heavy shot. Rapt attention was
paid throughout to Irrefutable statements
and clinching arguments by ono \\lio saw
nnd heard with his own eyes nnd cars. Ills
statements of conditions In the Philippine ?
\\lll cattso some different thinking If they
do not bring about changed convictions.
Republicans nro jubilant over the success
of the meeting.
The chaplain began with telling of his
appointment by Governor Holcomb , for whom
ho had the warmest personal regard. Ho
recited the events of the many days that
carried him on to the Held of San Mntvo ,
when he wrote the letter so widely quoted.
Ho told of how ho found prosperity upon
his return , that some termed republican
luck , The most striking nnd brilliant point
made was that In time of peace one should
bo with the administration , If It Is right ;
but In time of war , when rebel guns nro
pointed at the stars and stripes , one should
bo with the administration , right or wrong ,
Jlo stated that he was with the administra
tion because ho believed It was right.
Ho gave as the three causes of precipita
tion of trouble In the Philippines : Refusal
to permit Iho looting of Manila ; delay of
congress through obstructionists In ratify
ing the Spanish-American treaty , nnd be
lief of the Filipinos that the Unite : ! Slates
soldiers feared them. Ho gave It as his
opinion that It was Impossible for the Filipinos
pines to establish a government among
themselves.
At the close of the speech a leading mem
ber of the populist party sought out Chap
lain Mallloy and told him that he had cx-
presECd his sentiments on the Philippine
question.

CHICAGO , Oct. 10. President McKlnlcv
had ewrcely finished breakfast this mornIng -
Ing when the first ot the delegations seek
ing attention reached the Auditorium. The
delegation was composed entirely of laborIng -
Ing men and the president was closeted with
them for half an hour ,
The party was made up principally of
members of the Bricklayers' and Stone
masons' union , which some weeks ago made
the president an honorary member of the
organization ,
President dubbins of the union , In the
course of conversation , mentioned the
"bricklayers' organization. " "Our organiza
tion , If you please. Don't forgot tno , "
smiled Mr. McKlnlcy , and the committee
promised that ho would always bo remem
bered ns a full-fledced union bricklayer and
stonemason ,
The president asked many questions
relative to the condition of Chicago's laborIng -
Ing people , nnd expressed his pleasure that
they were feeling the effects of prosperity.
The cornerstone trouble which arose from
the employment of ncn-unlon labor In cut
ting the first stone , nnd which for a time
threatened the ceremony of yesterday , was
not spoken of.
The president declared ho considered It n
compliment to belong to the Bricklayers'
union und pulled from an Inside pocket the
card entitling him to a voice In Its proceed
ings.
"I would like to huvo the International
body , of which our union Is a part , hold Its
convention of 1901 In Washington , " ho said ,
ns the tradesmen were about to retire.
The delegates thanked him for the Invita
tion and declared that the matter would bo
laid before the delegates to the convention
of 1900.
When the president emerged from the
hotel and stepped Into his carriage the
weather could not have been nearer perfec
tion. Mr. MclCluley drove first to the Bat
tle of Manila , a panoramic reproduction ot
Admiral Dewey's famous victory , where ho
spent n few moments. In the G-nnd Army
of the Republic ( Memorial hall ho next
greeted the Army of the Tennessee , which
Is holding its reunion at that place. In ad
dition to the BOO veterans present the hall
was packed with spectators , who cheered
frantically. General Grnnvlllo M. Dodge In
Introducing the president declared he could
rest assured of the support of the Army of
the Tennessee In his present policy.
1'realdeiit in TciinennccfinH.
The president responded :
"I do not Intend to Interrupt your busi
ness at this meeting and have only called
that 1 may pay my respects and prejenl
tny personal good wishes to the Army of the
Tennessee and respond with expressions ol
gratltudo and satisfaction to the warm
words of General Dodge , your president , In
pledging the support ot the veterans of the
Army ot the Tennessee to the flag and the
patriotic purpose of the government of the
United States. Indeed , no such pledge Is
necessary from your chairman ; I could have
known without his stating It where each
army stood when the flag was atsallod
carried by soldiers nnd sailors of the re
public. I would know where this veteran
army would stand when I should recall Its
history , with Its Grant , Sherman , McPherson -
son nnd Logan , and as I said , I have only
como to pledge the honor which I feel fo
the veterans of 1861 , who have for more
than thirty-three years taught patriotism
to the people of the United States , nm
when the hour of peril came last year , as a
result of your Instructions , moro than 1,000-
000 men volunteered to defend the flag. I
thank you for your cordial welcome and bl <
you good morning. "
The president was then driven to the hnl
of the Woman's Athletic club , where a llgh
luncheon was served lu lionor of Mr. am
Mra. McKinlcy.
In the Woman's Athletic club society
leaders and women prominent In various
kinds of work assembled early In anticipa
tion of the visit of the president and Mrs.
McKlnley. After leaving , the veterans Mr.
McKinlcy took a short drive , followed by a
cavalcade of the city's guests and moro
spectators , ralltnir nt tlm lintel fnrxivn fn-
Klnley. The entire party then repaired to
the athletic club , where an exhibition ol
swimming wns given , all of which was ap
plauded. Mrs. Harrison , wife of the mayor
and Mrs. II. H. Kohlsaat were among these
present. Thn stay was short , however , am !
the presidential party left , followed by words
of regret that the visit could not have been
of longer duration. Mrs. McKlnley and Jllsa
Barber returned to the hotel , while the
president , cheered all along Ihe route , betook
himself to the Press club , where ho spent ths
hour from 12 to 1 receiving the mpmbers oi
the club. The president expressed his pleasure -
uro at the opportunity of meeting the workIng -
Ing newspaper men of the city , but made no
formal speech.
