AMERICA THEIR ONLY HOPE.
The Administration Cares Nothing for
the Pro Boer Views.

New York. Feb. 26-Mr. Montagu
White the Boer representative, said to-
night:
1T seems to me General Cronje has
offered himself and his men as Il sac
rifice to hold Lord Roberts great army
in check until second line of defenses
are complete.
If Cornje and his men are captured
IF Cronje and his men are captured
tremendous blow. but not a mortal onc.
THE war will not end until Pretoria
fails. and when the British reach the
Transvaal capital many thousands of
lives will have been lost. The Beers
believe that Pretoria is impegnable,
ard there is good reason for their conf
dence As to Intervention the outlook
is not pleasing. l see no hope in Europe,
unless Russie should tlllr action, and
that does not appear likely. | believe
Emperor William would like to stop
the war, but he does not exactly know
how to go about it.
'"The only hope is in the United States.
No other power can mediate and the
Administration appears to he lukewarm.
All these meetings throughout the coun-
try, the direct evidence that the senti-
ment of the people of the Unitd States
favor mediation, count for nothing with
the Administration. Those placed in
power are safe for four years.
I'm England such an outburst would
overturn Ministry in single week. 1t
would force the Government to do its
Will When l was in Washington it was
made plain to me that the Administration
feels secure. 1t is bound to remain in
office for u certain length of time. 1t
does not feel the weight of public opinion
until the time for the elections approach.
When I saw Secretary Hay, | told him
frankly that l hoped the time would
come when public opinion in the United
States would be so strong that he would
be compelled to stop the war and the
United States could do it. 1t is the
only power that could do it. Should the
Government take decided stand the
war would end within a fortnight Eng

CRoNJE WILL NOT YIELD.
His 5000 Heroes Hold Roberts $4,000
Bull Dogs at Bay.

The situation in South Africa as it APP
peared from dispatches received UP to an
early hour Monday morning, is thus
summarized by the Baltimore Sun:
That General 7. \. Cronje has neither
yielded to the British nor forced his wa
out is indicated by dispatches from Paar-
deberg drift Orange Free State. where
he has been defying Lord Roberts army
since Saturday of last week. In Natal
General Butler has met unexpected oppo-
siti0n in his advance to the relief of
Iadysmith, and the Beers have been hold
ing him at bay at Grobler's kloof, a high
hill sloping down to the Tugela river on
the northern side, opposite COlensO. Gen
eral Sir William Forbes Gatacre has
suffered reverse at SchOeman's farm.
Northern Cape Colony, where he adj
vanced. met the Beers and was compelled
to retire after the burghers had poured
in a deadly fire. These are the lead
ling developments of the South African
war as told in the latest dispatches.
London is beginning to doubt the tales
Of alleged horrors suffered by General
Cronje as set forth in most of the CEN
sored British dispatches. \ dispatch re-
ceived yesterday by the London Times
stated that his men had good cover from
the British artillery and had consider
able stores of provisions.
Lord Roberts, whose army Of 10000
men is trying to capture Cronie's 5000,
sent to the London War Office dis
patch dated Saturday. 1920 p. m, which
the War Office made public Yesterday.

FOR SALE,
The Finest Grain and Stock
Farm in Eastern Va.

Situated twenty miles west Of Peters
burg and within four of the Norfolk and
Western r. Il. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and iifty-seven
acres, about one-ffth of which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not a Hill on the
place. Soil is clay loan and very pro-
ductiye, the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams There are two residences
tabout one and half miles apart; one
contains eleven large rooms, several
NaIls, Closets porcnes, &C., the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
grapary, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches
Cherries, Grapes, &c. There is not
a more delightful home or healthier one
in the State. l am too old 10 manage
it. and to make speedy sale offer it
at the low price of twelve dollars per
acre, less than have ever offered it.
This tract would cut up into a dozen
fine farms, but 1 wish to sell it as a
whole. Deer, Turkey, Quail, &C., in
abundance.
The above is fairly good description
of "Mill Quarter" Farm by former own
or two years ago. He was offered over
$1,000 per acre cash and refused it. 1t
is worth more now than then. But I
now offer it at $500 per acre. At THIS
IT is VERY CHEAP PROPERTY.
1t is estimated by men who have been
over it that there is TIMBER ON 1T
ENOUGH TO PAY FOR IT at this
price, and then have plenty of wood and
all the land and buildings free, and they
would be worth as much more. If you
have some cash and want big bargain

Transvaaers in his army refuse to yield.
There are women and children in the

a safe-conduct for these but Cronje re-

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
News Items Gathered in the West End
Section.

A movement has been inaugurated to
change the name of the village of Tenley-
town. At the last meeting of the North
west Suburban Citizens Association a reso-
luton was passed suggesting that the name
of the place be changed to Tenley. This
action is in line with the effort to simplify
post office names, which is understood to
pc greatly favored by the post office au-
thorities. In fact. it Is stated that the post
village to that of Tenley.
Some time ago there was considerable dis
cussion over the spelling of the name of the
place. By some it was called Tennally-
town, and this name has been adopted by
the railroad company and private par
ties. The proper name, as has been demon
strated, was Tenleytown, in honor of the
Tenley family. which was among the first
ia miles to settle in the locality.
The body of a newborn white female in
fant was found yesterday afternoon about
$50 o clock by Policeman Joe Englehart
on the bank of Rock creek just south of
the pennsylvania avenue bridge. The body
was sent to the station in the patrol wagon
and the coroner notified. 1t is supposed the
remains were thrown in the creek some dis
tance above and were washed to the place
where they were found.
The frame building at the southwest cor
ner of Brown and Valley streets, formerly
the home of eX-Policeman Whitmore, was
sold at public auction yesterday afternoon
being bought in by Arthur Appler. The
price paid was S1,410, or about 80 cents per
loot The improvements on the property
amount to very little.

Are without Authority.

The electrical engineer of the District
several days ago suggested that he be
given authority by the Commissioners to
request the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-

street, between ID and G, in order to extend
the underground cable system of the Dis
trict. The matter was referred to the attor-
rey for the District, Mr.. A. b. Duvall, who
has Informed the Commissioners that, in
his opinion, they are without authority to
permit the construction of the proposed
conduit
The District appropriation act approved
March j. 1880 explains Mr.. Duvall au
thorizes the Commissioners to grant permits
for the repair enlargement and extension
OF condnits. but the authority Is expressly
limited 10 existing electric lighting conduits

Combinations and Trusts.

The fifth lecture of the Civic Center

cred last night, the speaker being Mr.. II.

1ect was Industrial Combinations and
Trusts. Speaking of the trusts Mr.. New
comb said: "Capitalistic combinations are
performing useful public service, though
there remains inquiry to the distribu-
tiOn OF the beneficial results. Such combi-
nations should tend to decrease prices to
consumers, 10 increase the demand for raw
material and therefore the price, to aug
ment wages and ameliorate the condition
of employees. and there is some evidence
that they have done so. 1t Is clear that
while they tend to the Capitalization of
Industrial control. they tend also to the diff
fusion Of industrial ownership. The latter
tendency would be more notable were II
not for the popular attacks upon these COM
binations and the danger of adverse legis-
latiOn"
