STRANGE pLEAsuRE.

President Mckinley has let 1t be
known that he is especially pleased"
with Senator Hoar's attitude in this
campaign. and that he thinks the Sen
ators Concord speech quite the quint-
essence of eloquence and wisdom. This
is the speech in which Mr.. Hoar de-
clared that he had nothing to take
back of what he had said about Nc
Kinley's Philippine policy. That is to
say, he still considers it, as he de-
scribed 1t in his senate speech. "a pol
icy of ruffianism," in violation of our
laws and constitution and dearest
traditions.

statement this morning as follows:
The poll shows $4,000 plurality for

that Mckinley will have the largest

The next House of Representatives

One youthful Essaytst.

Among the gems of general knowl-
edge which sometimes serve to il
lumine the dull routine of elementary
education the following Essay on st.
Stephen a copy of which reaches
us from the vicinity of a church of
England school in Surrey, is worthy
of a place. The author appears to
have derived his misinformation from
both lay and ecclesiastical sources,
and he writes:
eve have heard that st. Stephen
was the first one to find out how to
make the steam engine. He first made
the putin Billy and many others, and
he went to maxim 'em, and some he
made better than all the others, and
these be the ones you see in the sta
shuns."
This is pretty good, but our admira-
ton is boundIess when, with infinite
gravity and brevity, our youthful es-
sayist concludes:

provides that the restrictions in the
treaty shall not operate to prevent
the United States from using its own
forces for the defense of the inter-
ests of the United States and the
maintenance of order. Senator Nor

as the weather moderates many more

In Dawson the revenue from liquor

per annum. Prices still up. The
profits on drugs are placed at 800 per

ware 400 per cent. Beer is worth 500
a barrel and whisky from $40 to $50

MUST GIVE up ALL.
British Government win Be Content with
Nothing Less Than Entire Subinga-
tion of the Boer~.

New York, March IA dispatch
to the Herald from London says:
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have put
forward their first overtures looking
to an ending OF. the war, but their
efforts are certain to be futile, mas
much as they insist that the preser-
vation of the independence of the two
republics be guaranteed first of all
Judging from the temper of the Brit
ish people, as displayed recently, and
from opinions of the press this morn
ing, there is but one possible conclu-
complete subjuga-
ton of the Beers, the taking away of
the independence of the two repub-
lies and the incorporation of their
territory into a crown colony. Moth
ing less than this will satisfy the war
party of the empire, which at present
has full control.
The white Flag Treachery.
London, March IA dispatch to
the Daily Mail from AsvogeI kop,
dated Sunday, March II, says: ''The
white flag treachery was personally
witnessed at Driefontein by Lord Rob-
erts, who was looking through a tel
escope when the Welsh were charg-

hands, show the flag and drop their
guns. He saw an English officer adj

whereupon Boer volley was fired

KRUGER WOULD QUIT
He Asks for Cessation of Hostilities
Pending Peace Negotiations.
Wants independence of the TransvaaI Rec
Ognizeds But Great Britain Is Not Ready
to Concede This-HOraa Meat
Diet at HIafeking.

London, March 10y yesterday after
noon it was learned that the peace
rumors were founded on the fact that
President Kruger has appealed to
Lord Salisbury for a cessation of hos
tilities, Offering at length, by cable,
the terms which he is willing to ac-
cept. These, however, are not taken
seriously, as they include practically
nothing more than what the Trans
vaal demanded prior to the issuing
of the British ultimatum. Official cir
cles here regard the propositions as
merely a ruse of the Beers to gain
time and do not consider that Presi-
the sweeping demands which Great
Britain will make as reimbursement
for the loss of life and great expend-
iture. 1t was understood that Presi-
dent Kruger's advance had met with
an emphatic rejection at the hands of
the Lord Salisbury, who is believed
to have said that no such attempt to
retain the independence of the Trans
vaal can be considered for a moment
by the British government.
London, March 1O.-From various
quarters come signs of the possibility
of peace in South Africa being shortly
within the bounds of practical poll
tics. All the dispatches from Lord
Roberts headquarters indicate the
lack of a guiding spirit among the
Beers and individual decentralization,
portending disintegration unless
speedily stemmed.
The Rout Was Complete.
London, March 10-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
popular Grove, March 9.-Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn were both
present at the fight of March and
did all in their power to rally their
troops. The rout. however, was COM
plete, the men declaring that they
could not stand against the British
artillery and such a formidable force
