The first direct effort to aid the Boer
republics to secure the services of the
United States Government in the direc-
don OF bringing about peace in South
Africa has been made with some degree
Of success. After endeayoring, appar-
entity in vain, to induce the continental
powers to tender to Great Britain their
services as medators, President Kruger
and presumably President Steyn have
turned to the American Government with
a request of such character that t'resi-

that they could comply with 1t without
conflicting with their declarations that
