DON'T LOOK FOR WAR President Kruger Thinks Peaceful Settlement Will Come. HIS OPINION GIVEN TO A FRIEND. IrltUh Cabinet Considers Trannvmal DUpute--An Outline of Its Action Givrn by the Pall Mall Gazette. Cape Town. Sept.

to an intimate friend here, President Kruger says: "Things are serious and will become graver, but a peaceful settlement vril! be attained." Decision Kept Secret. London, Sept. cabinet council was held Friday, beginning at 12:30 p. IE. The meeting ended at 2:40 p.

m. The ministers were cheered as they came out of the foreign office. Nothing transpired regarding the action taken. The impression current here, though not based on. anything tangible, was that, publicly, the cabinet merely took steps tending to protect the negotiations, while, secretly, it prepared the details of an aggressive campaign, perhaps deciding to convoke parliament, though it is scarcely believed the latter determination will be announced immediately.

Rumors of Kenults. Many rumors are current regarding the result of the cabinet council, all professing to be based on good sources. But these are vague and contradictory. One news agency announces that im- to lose his United States citizenship by long residence in the Transvaal; by concentrating his entire business there; by failure to clearly establish his intention to the United States, and in other ways. In such cases the state department cannot demand their exemption, and it is conceivable that there are a number of individuals in this status in the Transvaal.

But all actual American citizens will be fully protected and all of their exemptions upheld by the United States government. To Talce Delagoa Bar- Allahabad, British India. Sept.

Information in our possession is to the effect that it was an interim cabinet summoned to consider an interim dispatch. It is believed that this paper, which met the unanimous approval of Mr. Cham- Ijerlain's colleagues, will be published as soon as received by the Boer government, on Monday or at the latest on Tuesday."

According to the Pall Mall Gazette, the dispatch opens -with an expression of regret at the unfavorable character of Secretary Eeitz' last reply and pro, ceeds with a very firm insistence upon "the repudiation of the claim of the Transvaal to the status of a sovereign state, once more pointing out British readiness to settle at once the nature of the proposed arbitration tribunal, provided the other British conditions are promptly and unreservedly accepted, and concluding with the intimation that the imperial government is now engaged in drawing up its own terms and that the Transvaal may expect to hear from them very shortly.

G. Dun weekly review of trade says: "The relc- c'on in the stock market is not a sign of anything outside that market, but has set many to look for signs of a reaction elsewhere. Such signs have been hard to find.

It has been for months a wonder that the demand for products was sustained at rates exceeding past consumption in any year, notwithstanding- the general raise in prices. But the demand does not appear to abate, and the rise in prices continues. A partial explanation is that scarcely any class of products directly consumed by individuals has advanced as much as "the wages and employment of labor. With more hands at work more hours, and at ten to fifteen per cent, higher wages, the gain in purchasing power has been quite beyond the rise of four per cent, in boots and shoes this year, or eight per cent, in leather, 5.2 per cent, in woolen goods or 10.9 per cent, in wool, and even beyond the rise of 17 per cent, in cotton goods, mainly due to the rise of 13 products used in manufacturing and transporting have advanced much more, because of the enormous increase in volume of business done, and in anticipated business for the future. Higher prices cause shrinking demand, other things being equal, but this year other things are "When men pay three to five dollars per ton more than the latest quoted price for iron products in order to get early deliveries, it is because delay is threatened on works or railroads or bridges, vessels or machinery, promising a net profit many times the cost of a small fraction of the material.

In such circumstances, as in much of the reconstruction and expansion now going on, "present cost counts for little compared with the earning power of the finished product in a time like this. "Failures for the week have been 154 in the United States, against 175 last year, and 18 in Canada, against 16 last year." Bradstreet's says: "Satisfactory trade and price conditions apparently still reign. So few, in fact, are reports of poor trade that favorable reports may be said to be almost unanimous. An expanded volume of fall trade is indicated by the aggregate of bank clearings for the week, though reports from some markets point to the greatest rush being over. Prices, as a rule, maintain all their former strength, decreases being few and relatively unimportant.

In several lines, notably the cereals, cotton, petroleum, iron and steel, the tendency is favorable toward higher 'levels Possibility of war in the Transvaal has been an additional strengthening feature. Iron and steel are higher on a moderate volume of new business, and the steady placing of orders indicates confidence in present values well on into the middle of next year. The scarcity of beef cattle is reflected in still higher prices, and strength is shown in domestic hides, which also feel the impetus of steady demand from manufacturers af leather. Demand for lumber, though interfered with by strikes at a number of markets, is reported very strong, and scarcity of cars and of boats is reported quite generally in the west. This scarcity of transportation, however, is not limited to the lumber trade, similar reports coming from the coal and iron industries." Candidate the Pittsburgh, Sept.

Thousands are afflicted with Bright's disease who are in total ignorance of the fact, little is it understood. so Indigestion or any stomach derangement, inactive liver, burden the kidneys (the great "strainers" of the blood) with a double load. Biliousness follows and the blood becomes poisoned with urea and uric acid, which should be excreted by the kidneys. Foley's Kidney the Kidneys RIGHT Rheumatic pains in the nerves and joints follow and when this condition becomes settled the kidneys themselves become irritated and pains over the small of the back indicate the sure approach of Brigbt's disease. Physicians will tell you these are facts.

Foley's Kidney Cure is Used by Physicians. Any number of causes tend to bring about these conditions, and the symptoms are many and different. Here are some symptoms which will indicate kidney or bladder trouble of some sort; (it may te gravel, diabetes, disease, uraemia, nephritis, organic weakness or other ailments.) Backache, bad digestion, dry mouth, parched or swollen tongue, bad breath, headache, nervousness, voracious appetite, weakness, tired out feeling, paleness or wanness of complexion, wasting of flesh, dropsical tendency, aching pain over the hips or lumbago, swollen anklet, sediment or deposit in the urine', bloody or milky white or highly colored urine, frequent desire to pass urine, scanty urine, bad odor of perspira. tion, puffiness nnder the eyes, etc. One not produce all of these signs of diskase.

Any one symptom will indicate kidney or bladder disorder of some kind. Foley's Kidney Cure will cure these afflictions, or will prevent them if taken in time. It is guaranteed to do this (and is, so far as we know, the only unconditionally guaranteed remecly for kidney disease.) Ask your druggist about it to-day. it is pleasant to take.
