A WORD TO METH0DISTS.

Alta conference Of Methodist minis
ters i'm Appleton. it was decided to APP
peal 70 the charitably disposed people of
the state. urging them TO subscribe
800 900 as y fund for the education Of
ministers sons. This seems to be a
strange request in view of the fact that
the average minister earns II much bet
FIR competency than the average dry
goods clerk. What would the people Of
Wisconsin think should store clerks form
a society and then issue similar APP
peal. They would be laughed at ridi-
culed and lampooned But some men
who wear clerical garb are courage
Ous enough 10 embark on undertakings
that would make angels squirm. Why
should Wisconsin Methodists or any 9th
er religious people be called upon for
donations of this character, when they
are paying their clergy fairly good mon
ey for professional services?
In all other callings Of life men work
TO support themselves and their fami-
lies and the same should be true Of the
clerical profession. If some ministers
are not paid enough to educate their
sons in universities let them do the next
best thing, send them to the high
chools. They ought not to place the
Young men in the invidious position of
being charitable wards, but such will be
their position if they profit by this fund.

in regard to railway corporations, and MI
Prince, Of Illinois, introduced bill on Friday
for that object. number Of Puerto Ricans
and others interested in the measure appeared
before the committee to-day and made argu-
ments in favor of it, as several corporations are
anxious to avail themselves of it's benefits and
begin the building of railroads in the island at
early day. Surveys have been made of some
of the proposed routes, and work Of the same
kind is now in progress for other routes. Among
those who appeared before the committee to-day
was General Roy Stone, who, with his assistants,
has surveyed running lengthwise
through the island north of the main range of
mountains, about midway between the range
and the sea. with several intermediate spurs to
the coast. The lines cover a distance of about
two hundred and fifty miles. An estimate of the
cost of one Of the sections about forty miles
long is $4,000 mile, If electric power and
equipment are used the cost will be several
thousand dollars more. No doubt was expressed
by the men who were before the committee to-
day of the feasibility of building trolley roads
throughout the island and operating them, when
equipped, more cheaply than by steam.
The opinion was also expressed that the pro-
jeCted roads would pay a fair return on the in
vestments made for building and operating
them, There was some discussion of the status
and rights Of the French company, which built
the existing lines under concession and sub
sidy granted by the Spanish Government but no
definite or satisfactory information was obtained
by the committee in relation TO that subject
which has given rise to a spirited not TO say
bitter. controversy in Puerto Rico.
APPLICATIONS FOR RAILWAY CHARTERS.
The representatives of all the projects now in
abeyance have made application to the Military
Government for authority and concessions in
order to proceed with the work of railroad build
ing, but none have been will be granted until
Congress takes action. It is understood that
many of the capitalists who are behind the
vania men, the president of the corporation
represented by General Stone being also the
president of the Niagara Falls Power Com
pany, and the treasurer. Mr.. MacVeagh, who is
a OF Wayne MacVeagh, of Pennsylvania.
This company has already expended about
$4,000 in surveys and other preliminary work.
Mr.. Williams and several other members OF
the committee expressed the opinion that in
stead of the enactment of a general railway
law by Congress a separate measure it
would be wiser TO go ahead with the bill 10
provide a civil government for the island, and
clOthe that government with authority to grant
railway charters subject 10 certain necessary
restrictions This idea did not appear to be
altogether satisfactory General Stone and
his colleagues. who seemed to think the long
delay and uncertainty which might follow
should be avoided and Chairman Cooper ex-
pressed an inclination to agree with them.

TENDER OF GOOD OFFICES.
THIS GOVERNMENT SAID TO BE WORKING
IN BEHALF OF PEACE

IRIS GOVERNMENT SAID TO BE WORKING
IN BEHALF OF PEACE
Washington March 12.-There is reason to be-
lieve that the United States Government is using
| its good offices TO restore peace between Great
Britain and the South African republics. This
has not taken the shape of a proffer of ned-
alton. That would be distinctly repugnant TO
Great Britain. and, according TO the rule of in
ternatiOnal law which has without exception
governed the State Department in the past
could not be volunteered by this Government
until it was known to be acceptable 10 both
parties to the war. BuI the United States might
properly serve as an intermediary TO transmit
AT appeal for peace and the terms on which
peace can be secured The United States has
successfully served in this capacity in the past
notably in the termination of the war between
China and Japan. and it is believed its good
offices in this line are being extended.
If this belief is we'll founded Adelbert Hay
United States Consul to Pretoria has been the
instrument for transmitting to the British Gov
ernment through the double Intervention Of the
Department Of State and Ambassador Choate
an application from Presidents KRUGER and
Steyn to be informed to the terms on which
the be ended. The facts in the case viii
be fully developed in a day two.
Lord Pauncefote called at the State Depart
ment late in the afternoon and spent an hour
with the tenor Of any communications relative
TO peace that may have come from Pretoria yes
terday he gave no sign Of the fact. The Of
dcials of the Department also maintained re-
serve respecting this subject that was impene-
trable, and all that could be obtained from
them was an injunction to await the develop
ments Of the naxt twenty-four hours. II is
surmised from this that the Department is
strained from discussing the subject by regard
for the diplomatic prOprieties, and especially be
cause CT the requirement that the person to
whom note is addressed should be permitted to
receive II before its substance is made public
In such case, presuming that Mr. Choate
ceived note to-day, it is probable that he would
not be able 10 inform the State Department that
he had delivered it to Lord Salisbury before
tomorrow.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska.
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted:
That the President be requested, if not incom-
patible with the public interest, to inform the
been received by this Government from its
the request Of the Presidents of the South
African republics for mediation or Intervention
with a view to ending the in progress
between these republics and Great Britain,
reported in the public press and if not incom-
paLible with the public interest, he furnish the
Senate with copies Of such communication or

BOERs SAID TO ASK CONDITIONS.

Paris March 13. 40 a. m.-"The Gauois"
publishes the following from its London corre-
spOndent:
According TO good authority. President Krji-
ger and President Steyn have not made d
formal proposition of peace, but have asked
the British Government through the United
States. the conditions II would accept for the
opening of negotiations the basis Of the in
dependence Of the republics.
President Kriger is alleged TO have said that
he would accept mediation, but the United
States Government, in transmitting this com
muncatOn. took care declare that il did not
assume the responsibility for the initiative in
mediation.
The London correspondent of the "Matin"
says
I learn that United States Ambassador Choate
received last evening a long and important
ca able from the United States Government rela-
tive TO South Africa which he win communi-
cate to-day 10 Lord Salisbury.
