is rather good thing in It's way. The
action OF the sun upon the skin Is really
beneficial, he says, and it is only in the

After the sunburn has worn of, the
texture of the skin is finer, smoother
and more elastic than it was before.

antarctic Explorer 6orcbgrevink viii Seek

SeDtember

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 13.-C. E.
Borchgrevink, the Norwegian Antarctic
explorer, who arrived here to-day, doubts
the success of Nansen as reported recently.
He knew Nansen as boy; they grew up
together in Christiania and attended the
same schools. He says of the report from
Siberia
Il do not regard it as probable, coming
as the news does in the dead of winter.
am not at all certain that he followed the
currents as indicated because of my
knowledge that Nansen did not place
credence in the drift theory himself. In a
private letter, just before his expedition
sailed. he expressed doubts as to that
course, and said it was but a faint theory" !"
Mr.. Borchgrevink announces that he
himself proposes to start from England in
September next on an expedition to dis
cover the south magnetic pole, from which
he anticipates incalculable benefit to

The President Gfvin0 Attention to Afasrs
In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 13.-The
President is known to be giving much
attention to the situation in Cuba. So far
as can be learned nothing definite has yet
been the outcome of his consideration.
Rumors that an investigating committee
or an army officer has been or will be sent
to Cuba does not find corroboration
among well-informed officials. Several
army officers have applied for leave of abb
sence with permission to go 20 Cuba, but
the permission asked for was refused.
While it is not believed at the War De-
partment that any of the officers who
made such application desired to take
part in the present hostilities it was
deemed best to keep them away from
Havana.
1t is obviously i'm = =-;.le that any
American army officer should have vitited
Cuba under present conditions without his
presence being promptly reported.
1t is also learned that permission to go
TO Bermuda and other British fortified
ports near the United States coast has
been refused to United States army officers
since Mr.. Cleveland's Venezuelan message
was sent to Congress. The reason for this
is obvious. American officers must be
held in distrust as persons seeking infor-
nation about the British Notifications,
and the War Department did not propose
to take any chances.

Temporary Check in the Wild,

OvERTUREs ONLY TO GAIN TIME
Another Great War in the Soudan
May Grow Out of the Anglo.
Egyptian Expedition.

ROME, ITALY, March 13.-Official con-
firmarlon has been received of the rumor
that negotiations were in progress to bring
about peace between Italy and Abyssinia.
The news has given general satisfaction,
for the great mass of the people have been
opposed to the war, especially when there
were prospects that reserves would BIZ
called out to serve in AbYssinia.
Ever since this action seemed probable
men who were liable for military service
have been fleeing from Italy. The rail-
roads into France have been loaded down
with refugees. And this fight to avoid
service in the army, instead of diminish
ing, has been increasing until it is about
reaching the point of panic.
News was received to-day that the whole
garrison at Verona has deserted and has
crossed the Austrian border into Tyrol,
taking their arms with them. Hundreds
of Italian deserters are crossing the Aus
tri an border every day.
The news from Africa continues dis
heaftenIng. The Abyssinian King
threatens the Italian garrison at Adigrat
with humiliation, and the situation is al
most equally dangerous further north, in
wishes are closing in on that town in large
numbers.
News was received to-day by the Gov
eminent authorities of another Italian
defeat. A large force of Dervishes attacked
Sabdevali. small place between Adigrat
and kassala. The Italian garrison, greatly
outnumbered, was driven from the place
and retreated to the hills. The loss on
each side is unknown, but it is believed to
be considerable.
Major Salca, who went into the Abyss
sinian army for the purpose of asking per-
mission of King Menelik to bury the bod
les of the Italian soldiers killed in the bat
tie of Adowa, has announced that he has
entered into negotiations with the King
for the conclusion of peace.
According to the Italian Militai-e, King
Meneiik offers in the peace negotiations as
much as Italy could have hoped for before
the battle of Adowa.

DIED FROM A Broken HEART.
Sad Circumstances Connected With the
Demise of a Noted Rector in
New JERSEY

LONG BEACH, N. j., March 13.-The
sudden death "Wednesday night OF the
Rev. DR.. E.. D.. Tompkins, for the last
twenty-five years rector of st. James Prot
estant Episcopel Church, was great
shock to the community.
The circumstances surrounding his
death are extremely sad. Lately he had
noticed marked change in the de-
meanor of his parishioners toward him.
Last Sunday morning when he appeared
in the church not single worshiper was
in the church. This was too much for him,
and returning to the parsonage he wrote
out his resignation. He then took to his
bed, where he remained until his death.
1t is given out that death resulted from
nervous prostration, but it is generally be-
lieved that he died from broken heart.
Outside of his mmediateparish he was be-
loved by the entire community. and the
people are still at loss to understand the
cause of the sudden affront put on him,
except it be his tendency to the high
church form of worship, which to some of
the members appeared Objectionable.

OFFERED,
England Ready to Relinquish
Suzerainty Over the
Transvaal.
Kruger, However, Must First Redress
the Grievances of the Uit.
landerS.

LONDON, ENG, March 13.-The Times
will tomorrow publish dispatch from
Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal, say
ing that President Kruger is considering
an important dispatch which he received
through Sir Hercules Robinson, the British
High Commissioner in South Africa, in
which Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the
British Colonial Secretary, suggests the
abrogation of the Anglo Boer convention
of 1884 which gives suzerainty to Great
Britain if the Transvaal will redress the
grievances of the Uitlanders and enfran-
chise the British subjects in the Transvaal
who desire to become burghers.
Mr.. Chamberlain al,o suggested treaty
OF amity, by the terms of which Great
Britain will guarantee the independence
of the Transvaal.
President Kruger has intimated that he
will reply to the dispatch in about three
days. The dispatch adds that the prepara-
tions that have been made for President
Kruger's visit to England indicate that he
will probably start very shortly.
