Not Fond of Arbitration.

As nation and as individuals the Brit
ish are very wroth over the Delagoa Bay
railway award. The average opinion is
that this is merely the latest instance
where the country has got the worst end
by trusting to arbitration. All high flown
prophesies that an Anglo-German secret
African agreement would become operative
through the decision have fallen flat, be-
cause the damages against Portugal are
SO small that she is amply able to pay
them herself without giving either party
to the secret agreement an opportunity OF
bidding for Delagoa bay. That this would
occur was definitely stated some days age
in these dispatches, but right up to the
last moment several of the most Influential
organs seemed to be almost sure tina,
Portugal would be obliged to sell Delagof
bay to Great Britain in order to pay up
As a result Delagoa Bay railway deoen
lures went up to 1872 and the shares o
the company to pounds.
After the announcement OF the decision
the debentures went down to 100, whil'
shares could be bought for 2s Cd, or prae
tically nothing, as it was evident tina
the awards provided scarcely anything u
make them good. After this tremendous
drop it will be long time before tn
city looks favorably on arbitration pro
posals.

Kansas City, Mo-, April "A Journal
special from Washington says:
Hon. Webster Davis of Kansas City has
rendered his resignation to the president
as assistant secretary Of the interior. Mr..
Davis decided to take this course as the

war and believes that he can best do so
while free from any restraint which his
present position would impose upon him.
When taking his departure for home from
Pretoria, 1000 people gathered to take
leave of him at the station. They appeal
ed to him in tears to state their cause to
the American people and Mr.. Davis says
his conscience would haunt him if he
proved recreant to that pitiful appeal. He
believes the American people are not truly
informed on the situation. He will there.
fore avail himself of an early opportunity
to relate his experience and observations
at a public meeting that shall be free to

MIR. Davis has decided on this course
after mature deliberation and free con-
sultation with his friends.

The Chase Given Up.

London, April 5.-Generals Colville and
French have given up the movement
against the Beers east of Bloemfontein
and have Joined the main army. 1t doubt
less seemed to Lord Roberts vain at
tempt to send $4,000 Of his best troops into
the wilderness with field transport in a
direction at right angle with his chosen
line of advance. The Beers have proba-
bly, moved elsewhere and if to the souta-
west General Colville could as easily
strike them from Bloemfontein as by fol-
lowing them up across the plains. These
inferences still leave the situation bewil-
dering for the time being.
The enormously superior British forces
appear inactive in every part of the wal
ielu, waiting yet, probably, for the ac-
emulation of material for swift ad
vance on the Transvaal.
The London commentators and the pub
lie to some extent are irritated and con
fused by the situation.

The News at London.
London, April 6-News Of the attempt
on the life of the prince of Wales spread
with marvellous rapidity in all parts Oh
London and created the most intense ex
element and bitter indignation among al
classes. The fact that the attempted as
sassination occurred in the city where DIR
Leyds, diplomatic agent of the Trans
vaal, has made his headquarters, was
generally taken to indicate that the
would-be assassin was Boer sympathizer
and this so infamed passions that ths
most bitter invectives were hurled against
the Beers and everything connected will
them.
The government was wholly ignorant
of the attempt on the life of the prince o
Wales until press dispatches on the sub
ject were communicated to the foreign
offices.

CONVENTION HALL BURNED
AT KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
The Place Where the Democrats
Were to Hold Their Convention
VIII He Rebuilt Immediately-It
Was Partly Insured.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 5.-The mann
moth and superb auditorium in which the
democratic convention was to have been
held July 4 was burned to the ground by
fire that started at lilo p. N. Within
few minutes after the fire caught the
whole structure, taking in half block
each way ON Thirteenth and Central
streets, was mass of flames, and 20 min
utes after the first alarm was turned in
the mammoth roof fell with a crash,
throwing showers of burning embers in
every direction. The fire started over the
furnace room in the rear end Of the
buliolng. Before the first engine had ar
rived the fire was beyond control. Within
~ minutes every engine in the city was
at the scene, but the work Of the hremel
proved Of no avail ana their efforts were
directed to the saving of surrounding
property.
AT 80 p. m. the fire jumped two ways
attacking half block Of three-story resi-
dences in the rear of the hall on Twelfth
street, and across Central street, where il
first caught the Second Presbyterian
church, one of the finest edifices in the
city, and then the Lathrop public school
which was partially destroyed by tor
nado in 1888. Residences on Twelfth
street, together with the church and
school, are total loss
Loss $4OO,OOO.
At 2:25 p. m. the fire was pronounced
under control, the flames having beer
confined to three or four small residences
outside of the hall, church, school and thu
Twelfth street row. The total loss il
roughly estimated at from $35O,OOO t
$4oU,UUO, with insurance amounting t
about half of the loss.
The convention hall is well insured AM
will be rebuilt in time for the use of tn
| democratic convention.
Twelve minutes after the hall wa
known to be doomed, the members Of tn
Commercial .lub, through whose effort
the structure was built, began soliciting
funds to begin rebuilding. The founda
tion remains intact.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A good conscience is to the soul
what health is to the body. 1t pre-
serves a constant ease and serenity
within us, and more than countervails
all the calamities and Affections which
can possibly befall us.
TO mediate daily, to pray daily
seems a means indispensable for
breaking this surface crust Of form
ality, habit, routine, which hides the
living springs of wisdom.
Never be discouraged by trifes If
a spider breaks his thread twenty
times, he will mend it as many. Per-
severance and patience will accom-
plish wonders.
To commiserate is something more
than to give, for money is external
to a mans self; but he who bestows
compassion communicates his own
soul.
Despise not any man, and do not
spurn anything. For there is no man
that hath not his hour, nor is there
anything that hath not its place.
Mere ideals, unsecured by deeds, are
like unframed pictures. They do not
long retain their freshness and whole.
ness and beauty.
Generosity, to deserve the name,
comprises the desire and the effort to
benefit others without reference %
self.
The loveliest things in life are but
shadows, and they come and go, and
change and fade away as rapidly.
An avowal of poverty is a disgrace
to no man; to make no effort to escape
from it is indeed disgraceful.
In friendship, as in love, we are
often happier through our ignorance
than our knowledge
Nothing can be further apart than
true humility and servility.

Mhitn Party Trocks.

White muslin frocks, which will be
worn all winter for parties, are very
elaborately made, WITH much lace In
sertion and trimming, and should be
worn over silk lining. The most
economical way in the end is to have
the lining separate from the white ma
terial. With fitted petticoat and
waist, the muslin can then be put over
it, and Of course two or three different
frocks may be worn over the same lin
ing A further advantage is in the
matter of renovation, for made this
way they may easily be pressed, and.
If necessary, washed or cleaned, The
latter process, by-the-way, is general
ly wisest with a muslin frock that
is at all elaborate. The fancy ribbons
that are so fashionable this year are
seen on some of the muslin frocks,
but plain colors in peau de sole or sat
