tigrcw to Talk for Bocrs

Washington, Feb. 5.--A persistent
and perhaps concerted effort is being
made to induce the government to take
the first step toward practical appli-
cation OF the mediation provisions OF
The Hague conference treaty to the
war between Great Britain and the
Boer republics. Not only are resolu-
tons adopted by public meetings and
by permanent organizations looking to
that end being received at the state de-
partment, but the president and the
secretary OF state are getting scores of
letters from individuals all over the
country urging the administration to
seek to bring about the termination of
the bloody struggle.
The statement attributed to Senator
Mason OF Illinois that Montagu White,
the Transvaals private agent in Amer
len, has been informed by the secre-
tary OF state that this government
could not offer mediation because The
Hague treaty had not been ratified by
the United States senate, does not full
ly or fairly represent the position OF
the government In the matter. In the
treaty, all the signatory nations bound
themselves to an observance of an in
ternational rule of which little has
been said and its Importance and ey-
tent almost entirely overlooked.

Neb.) offered lengthy resolution for

the postmaster OF Washington, ID. c.,
$4,000 per year. and another appro-
priting 100000 for a military hospital
ut Fort Leavenworth.

declaring that, 1--WE watch with deep
interest the heroic effort OF the South
African republics against cruelty and
oppression, and our best hopes go out
for the full accomplishment Of their
liberties" He gave notice that he
would speak on 1t next Monday.
