BOER APPEAL REJECTED
England Will Not Hear of In-
 dependence.
THE BRITISH AT BLoEMFONTEIN

French Holds Two Hills Command
 ing the Town-Roberts HurryinR Re-enforcements-F stnters Said
 Practically to Have Abandoned War
 London, March 14.-Great Britain will accept no offer of mediation, nor will she deal with the Boer republics through any third party. When the Boers have laid down their arms and surrendered, when the British flag floats over both capitals, then and not till then will terms of peace be discussed. This is the determination of her majesty's government and repre- sents the feeling which pervades the en- tire empire.
 Lord Salisbury's declaration yesterday sounded the deathknell of independence of the Transvaal and Orange Free State. Their future existence will be as colo nists of the crown.
 The appeal of Presidents Kruger and Steyn to the powers for intervention has fallen upon unheeding ears. From the capitals of Europe there is no response.
 Dispatches from Berlin, Paris, Vienna, St. Petersburg and Rome are all of the same tenor. Every government realizes that England is determined to settle this affair herself in her own way and time.
 There is a marked difference, from diplomatic standpoint, between interven-

A story is told of a young lady
who found a package Of love let
ters that had been written to her
mother by her father before they
were married. The daughter saw
she could have a little sport, and
read them to her mother, substi-
tuting her own name for her
mother and u fine young man for
her father. The mother jumped
up and down in her chair, shifted
her feet and seemed terribly dis
gusted and forbade her daughter
TO have anything to do with u
man who could write such sicken-
ing and nonsensical stuff TO o
girl. When tho young lady
handed the let ors to her mother
the house became 80 still that one
could hear the grass growing in

SEES VICTORY
Chairman Jones Dredicts
the Democratic ticket
aCiU be Successful.

Senator James K. Jones who
was reelected chairman Of the
democratic national committee,
makes the following statement
relative to the condition Of the
party;
"Owing to the fact that Mr..
Bryan is now much better known
and understood than he was in
1896, he is stronger in every Sec
ton Of the country than ne was
at that time.
"The conviction is widespread
that the very life of the nation is
involved in the question of i'm
perialism, while the feeling is as
general that the financial inde-
pendence of every individual is
involved in the struggle for the
control of the trusts. In addition
to this, the cold -blooded heart
lessness of the administration to-
ward the Beers is exciting gener-
al discussion. Hence regard
our chances as vastly better than
in '96.
Kentucky | regard as abso-
lutely certain for the Democratic
party. A majority vote was cast
against the present administration
in Ohio in the last election in that
state, Notwithstanding the her.
culean efforts of the administra-
ton, and | know none there who
voted against the administration
then who will vote for it in No.
vember.
"We have strong state tickets
in Indiana and Illinois and are
well organized i'll Michigan and
Minnesota and other states,
There are thousands Of Republi-
cans who are thoroughly dis
gusted with the imperialistic,
trust breeding, English ad-
ministration, while our people,
not only in those states but
throughout the Union, believing
in the Righteousness of our cause,
are full of hope, energy and
fight.
81 am entirely satisfied with
the platform. 1t ought to be sat-
isfactory to every Democrat by
the fact that it was unanimously
adopted by the platform COM
mittee, which contained men Of
differing views. 1t presents the
issues of the campaign very fair
ly, and will commend itself to the
thoughtful and patriotic citizens
of the country"

The republicans say the money
question will be the paramount
question of the coming campaign.
The democratic national plat.

The Press adds: ''This is a poor year

fellows will learn when theyotes are
counted in November. The McKin-

was promised of it and the legislature
is a part and parcel of the administra-

the order named. Men. on the con-
trary, are far more likely to remain.
single in the west than in the east.
The proportion of unmarried men be-
tween 30 and Ga is lowest in the south
ern states, e. g., Arkansas, Alabama
and Georgia, and greater in the block
of western states west of the Missis-
sippi. In Nevada 3S.2 per cent of the
males between 30 and Ga have never
been married, Idaho coming next with
32.4 per cent, Montana next with 29.5
per cent, etc.
That marriage is still pre-eminently
the sphere of women seems to De indi-
Gated by the fact that more women
marry than men, and they marry at
earlier ages, Thus, only 81 per cent
of females Is years of age and over
are unmarried, while among males of
the same ages the proportion is Al per
cent. Taking girls and boys between
Is and 20 years of age, it is found that
one out of every ten girls is married,
while among the boys the proportion
falls to one in two hundred. These
were the proportions in 1890. Whether
these conditions have changed since
then is a question that can only be
answered by the census of 1900.
