BaIfour and Harcourt Want President
Kruger to Come to England

LONDON. FEB. lin the House oil
-a,nnoors This afternoon. Sir, William
1forcourt leader OF the Opposition, re-
ferred to the conflicting statements made
bv Raron Marshal Won Bieberstein, Ger
man Minister OF Foreign Arairs, anu ioru
Salisbury. Prime Minister ana secretary
of State Foreign Affairs OF Great brl'ain'
i'm regard 20 the troubles In South AFRICA
Lord Salisbury. he said, had admitted th@1
The government Of tn South African he-
public had made application to European
movers for support and the powers had
denied that they had received any such
appeal.
This question, Sir William asserted,
affected the whole of the relations OF
England IN South Africa, with Germany.
Any one. he said. who would contribute
TO the cultivation Of ill-feeling between
Great Britain and Germany was not
friend to the peace of the world.
The fact remains undisclosed. he said. by
whose authority DIR. jameson had acted.
In regard 10 the hitch in the negotiation
with the South African Republic, he un-
derstOod that the people Of the TransVaai
wanted to settle their own affairs. In
the circumstances he thought that the
Intervention Of Mr. Chamberlain, unless
conducted in the most delicate manner,
vav ont Of the difficulty would be to
have President Kruger come to London
and settle everything at once.
Mr.. 4 j. Balfour First Lord of the
Treasury. said that Lord Saiisbury's
statement vas based upon positive assur-
RANGES received from Sir J. A. Dcwstt,
British agent at Pretoria, which were put
in language the only possible interpre-
tation of which was that an appeal had
been made by the Transyaal Government
for the support of Germany.
Mr. Balfour defended the course taken
by MI Chamberlain I'm introducing an
imperial factor into the affair, and main
tained that his action had been alike ap-
proved by the English and Dutch popu-
laton Of the Transvaal. That plan, or
something like it, he declared. must be
adopted IL the Boer Government was to
b carried on for any length OF time.
II the English population in the Trans
vaal increased In time to come. the Beers
could not maintain an uncontrolled gov
ernmcnt. lie was convinced that If Presi
dent Kruger should come TO England
method would be found for the solution
OF the difficulty.

Leaving In the Belief hat the Fight VIII
Not be Pulled on.

Ell PASO, TEN. Feb. 1l.-There was
q considerable thinning out of disgusted
sports to-day. More are going on the
morning and evening trains of Saturday,
and the prospects are that the crowd at
the ring-sidc on Monday, provided that
Maher IS IN condition to get within the
ropes. VIII be composed In the main, OF
the local sporting fraternity.
The promoters continue 10 insist that
the size OF the crowd is a secondary con-
siderati0n. and that the chief point -
TO get the men together. but they wax
indignant when 1t Is suggested tnat this
means more OF an exhibition for the bene-
ht Of the kinetOsc0pe than straightout
contest for the worlds championship.
This afternoon the pressure, both from
tOwnspeople and visitors became so
strong that il was given out Officially that
If Maher was stll unable 10 fight on
Monday or Tuesday the Dixon Marshall
and Everhardt-Leeds fight would be put
on for those days. but that the battle
ground. or grounds would not be the
same as selected for the principal con-
test.
Word came this afternoon by telephone
from Las Cruces TO Buck Connolly that
under the treatment prescribed by DR.
White Maher's eye is considerably I'm
proved, and the local doctor was conf
dent of his being in shape on Monday or
Tuesday.
Before going up to Las Cruces on the
late train. Comedy said. we shall ask
another postpOnement If Maher cannot
see well enough on Monday. and II 1t is
refused then the other people can take
the forfeit. / believe that they will be
willing 10 wait a while II II is necessary
If they won't consent then we VIII take
up the proposition from the next backing
sporting club Of London, but we are not
willing TO 90 back on Dan Stuart so long
as there is any earthly chance Of pulling

The Morgan syndicate, IL is understood
nave filled the market up ana small
capitalists who have been awarded bonds
are trying TO realize. This has a ten
dency 10 weaken prices. TWO million
more bonds arrived at the sub-treasury
making the total thus far 81 100000 About
one-third OF this amount has been de-
hvered 10 small bidders. VINO have paid
In full None of the large bidders have
taken away any as yet.
Government officials say they have
hopes that the loan Will turn out better
as Tar as the net gold is concerned, than
at first appeared likely. They base this
view on the character Of much of the
gold that is coming in. which they say
clearly comes from what might be called
boards of banks and elsewhere. A lot
of this gold is very much worn. and
evidently has not seen the Treasury for
many years. Treasury officials say'that
the loan bids fair to clean up a large
part of the floating gold supply in the
country. j. Il. Morgan q Co.. have no
titled Assistant Treasurer Jordan that
within "a week his syndicate will turn in
al their gold-that is. $50 100000. The to-
tai receipts of gold on bond account up
TO the close Of business yesterday was
S33 1lS,62l.
There were considerable Withdrawals
to-day from the sub-treasury in $50 to
$500 lots.
Sub-treasury officials understand that
this gold is taken for account of bullion
dealers, who in turn sell it at a small
premium 10 successful bidders for the
new bonds. This does not apply to the
syndicate, banks. or insurance compa-
nies. but 10 the bidders for small
amounts. The bullion dealers made
heavy Withdrawals from the Treasury,
Zimmerman 4 Forshay alone taking over
a million.

amount of family pleasures and sympa-
thy with the world at large, urging
every faculty to secure q worldly repu-
tatiOn that shall outshine all others,
what shall it be worth when you get it?
Tor, with all the applause that awaits
your achievements, there may be no
words of praise for your goodness, as
well as your high standing and worldly
distinction. There may be no sad
homes that give you loving gratitude
for your generous kindness, no thanks
giving for the fallen raised by your eff
forts and redeemed from sin. What is
your life worth?
But there is value which no words
can fully reveal in a life made perfect by
good deeds and unseIfsh labors, to help
and redeem the suffering and the de-
graded. There is infinite difference
between a life of selfish indulgence and
a life which secures divine happiness by
living to do good to others.
I look back upon the life of one who
was called to his reward many years
ago, who started out an orphan and adj
alone, a poor boy, to make his way, I'M
aided save by his Heavenly Father.
By industry and by doing well what
ever he undertook, little by little he laid
by very small sums at first. He had the
feeling that however small it might be
he would be happier and no poorer If
from his scanty earnings he took
small proportion to try to help other
poor men to get start.
When he died he had become possessed
Of a fair proportion of wealth, but of
the large body of people assembled at
his funeral all could tell, with tears, of
the good they had received through
him. There was no ostentatious dis
play of his good deeds, but rather a
very humble intimation of his own
merits. Among the last things he said
to the clergyman, who repeated them as
he stood in tears over the coffin, was:
''The great mistake of my life, which
dwarfed my ability to do good, was that
] did not become a Christian when
young lad. How much more good 1
might have done! How much better a
man I should have been had I given all
my Iife-had I begun younger! That
is the lesson which I hope you will teach
the young"
Now, what was this mans life worth?
He sowed good seed wherever he went,
and in the glorious mansions where his
freed spirit has gone he is reaping his
rich reward. - Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher, in N. z World.
