The Answer of Lord Salisbury to
the Message of Presidents
Kruger and Steyn.
WAS SENT THROUGH OUR GOVERNMENT.
The President VIII Not. Mt Present,
Make Public the Text of the Conf
Which Have Passed
Between Pretorin, London md
Washington.

of Lord Salisbury to the message from
Presidents Kruger and Steyn, which
was Transmitted through u govern
ment, was received at q late hour Tues
dany night by Secretary Hay, through
Mr.. White, u charge at London.
AS indicated in the London dis.
patches. the answer was a de~clination
of the appeal. 1t has been transmit
ted to Adelbert Hay, United States
consul ut Pretoria, who will submit
it to the two presidents.
end OF the First Overture.
This marks the end of the first
overture towards peace. 1t is believed
here. however, that an effort will soon
be made by the Beers 10 attain peace.
though occurs may be had to some
other agency than the United States.
The president decided that it is not
proper. at this time, to make public
the text of the communications which
have passed between Pretoria, London
and Washington relative to the peace
negotiations. Therefore, the Allen res
olutions, adopted by the senate, calling
for the correspondence, must remain
unanswered for the present, though
there is reason to believe the cause for
maintaining secrecy On this point will
soon disappear.
The Press Has Covered het SaIicnts.
1t is stated. however. hat the press
dispatches have indicated the salient
features of the correspondence with
sufficient accuracy. and about the only
omission. so far as can be learned. was
the failure to develop the fact. that
the appeal of the Boer government
that the United States might be
allowed to intervene, was accom-
panied by an earnest expression by
the president, of his willingness to do
anything within his power to bring
about the termination of the war.
which he hoped might be attained.
Lord Salisbury's reply, while firmly
declining the request of the Boer gov
eminent, conveyed his appreciation OF
the commendable sentiments which
inspired the presidents utterances.
To Remove Confusion.
Inasmuch as there appears to be
some confusion in the public mind re
specting the various efforts made by
the Beers to end the war, it may be
stated that this Particular CORE
spondence, passing through the state
department, was separate and apart
from the note addressed by President.
Kruger and Steyn to nearly all the
continental powers believed to be il
sympathy with their cause, and wa:
also distinct from the appeal adj
dressed directly to Lord Salisbury by
the W. presidents, which. with hi,
lordship's answer, formed the subiec
of the communication made by him
Tuesday, to parliament.

The late Duke OF Edinbursh's life
was insured for E30o.0o0 and that
huge sum will have to come GU, OF the
Golfers OF the insurance societies.
Scarcely n single English Insurance
company was without some interest In
Prince Aifrcd's life. but the critical
state OF his royal highncss' health dur
ing the pas; four years had given the
companies ample warning that the day
of reckoning was approaching. They
will not In consequence be heavily hit
by the dukes sudden death. even
though the sum Is Of considerable
magnitude. for most OF the firms had
secured themselves with guarantee
societies.
Royalties have ever been extensive
Insurers. Many of them while they
enjoy practically unlimited incomes
during their lives. are unable to be-
qucath anything except to their eldest
