ton As has come to the state depart
ment in the last few days is said to
indicate a more favorable condition Of
affairs respecting the chances for an
understanding among the ministers Of
the powers than during the early part
OF the week. when deadlock seemed
imminent Just what Is the nature Of
this information 70 not stated, but
probably Il came as the result OF Secre-
tary Hays latest note 70 the powers
setting out the object OF the United
States government as to China. This
note contained the Instructions that
have been sent Minister Conger and
are believed to be Of such nature as
10 constitute an appeal from the ex-
IRENE course suggested by some OF the
powers as to the treatment OF the Chi
nese government on some Of the mat
tiers upon which the ministers have
been unable TO agree. Nothing has
come from Minister Conger during the
past As hours.

Yet the Beers are much given to mar

The element OF romano e does not en-

THE WOMEN OF

each from eachSjust so wide is the e,,lf
which divides the Boer woman from the
womanhood OF modern England and Am

or us mother. and that eternal. newt
able tact constitutes the only similarity
between them. Regarded from this
s~andpoint the present war is, one might
say, the expression of the difference be-
tween the Englismnan and the Boer, but
even that vast divergence $ sinai COM
