The Hague, March 13.-It is learned
from a reliable source that President
Kruger, through the consuls at Pre-
toria, has appealed for the interven-
ton of the great powers in the Trans
vaal war and has also appealed to the
governments of Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland.
Except in the ease of Germany, who
declines to interfere, the replies OF
the powers to the Boer appeals for in
PREVENTION are not yet known public
Iy here, but it is quite certain that
Austria-Hungary and Italy will de-
cline to interfere and there is no APP
prehension that anything will come of
the overtures of the two republics.
All the morning papers take the
line that the government will decline
to open negotiations with the Boer
republics except upon the basis of
complete surrender, and will also
make it perfectly clear that nothing
in the shape of foreign Intervention
will be tolerated. The Standard. says:
There is an idea in some quarters
that on arriving at Bloemfontein
Lord Roberts will issue a proc(ama-
ton which will leave little doubt as
to the future of the republics"
Uncle Sam Taking . Hand.
Washington, March 13.-There is
reason to believe that the United
States government is using its good
offices to restore peace between Great
Britain and the South African repub-
lies. This has not taken the shape of
a proffer of mediation. That would
be distinctly repugnant to Great
Britain and, according to the rule of
international law which has, without
exception, governed the state depart
ment in the past, could not be volun-
tecred by Us until it was known to be
acceptable to both parties TO the war.
1t is believed that Adelbert Hay, con-
sui to Pretoria, has been the instru-
ment for transmitting to the British
government, through the double inter
ventiOn of the state department and
Ambassador Choate, an application
from Presidents Kruger and Steyn to
be informed as to the terms upon
which the war can be ended.

A GENTLE REBUKE.
A ThOughtless Mans Stupid Practical
Joke Played ON a Lady
Musician.

The following little anecdote, says
the Philadelphia Times, is told by. a
man who, while spending some time
in the different. cities tof Italy, used
to frequent, in one particular place, a
certain coffee house. In the center of
the main room was a large marble
slab, which covered the pipes that
heated the place, and the tables were
arranged around this.
There was always fine music there
in the evening, made by man and
his wife. She played on'a stringed
instrument and after several selections
she carried around little filigree sill
yer basket, in which she collected coins
from the guests.
One night, as the music began, a
man seated at one of the tables held
up a gold coin. The woman smiled,
and the man dropped it on the mar
BILE slab that covered the hot pipes.
When she made her collection she went
last for the gold coin, but as she
picked it up, she gave a cry and
dropped it again, for it had become
glared at the man, but did not say q
word.
The next evening, when the musi-
clans appeared, the woman's hand was
bandaged and she had some difficulty
in managing her instrument. When
she made her collection, she avoided
the man who had played the practical
joke on her; and night after night, she
did the same thing. In vain he offered
her apologies. and other coins, but she
merely bowed and smiled in passing
him, and never allowed him to give her
the slightest donation. OF course one
can imagine the offenders feelings;
but who can find fault with the wom-
ans gentle yet dignified rebuke?-Ph

through the close branches of the
