While claims are being strcuuously made
that the War Office has received proposals
for peace from Presidents Kruger and
Steyn and has refused to entertain them,
there is nothing official 20 confirm the sto-
" On the other hands a Paris despatch
claims that Dr. Leyds. the TTansvaal di-
plomauc agent. denies that Kruger and
Steyn have cabled peace proposals TO Lord

from Lourenco Marques which state that
President kruger arrived in Pretoria on
Friday and immediately summoned the eN-
ecutive council in session. The session may
have been called TO formulate a petition for
the cessation Of hostilities but that is only
one OF many possible objects.
Fears for the Queen.
In the meantime Eu gland is discussing
and drcading ,he Queo rs visit 10 ireland.
which the Central News announces is
scheduled for April D. Not only are there
fears for her personal safety. but doubt
is expressed as 10 the political effect Of
the trip. Many offers Of hospitality have
been rendered and &c is almost certain
that Her Majesty's itinerary viii exceed
the original plan. but with The extension
Of the Journey. comes a belief In an in
crease Of danger. Press comments are
varied in their views. and an between the
lines tend TO confirm the fears that the
Queens action bgtokens something more
than mere gratitude TO Irish soldiers for
the gallant part they have played i'm the
South African war.

RED ASH VICTIMS.
Thirteen More Bodies Taken From
the Mine.

WHEELING. W. Va. March 12.-Thir-
teen more bodies have been taken from
the Red Ash mine. Nine were diggers and
foui were boys The total number recov-
cred is forty-fve. and thirteen bodies are
known to be in the mine. The rescuers
may finish their work today.
The body OF Berry Tucker which was re-
covered, had by it an open lamp and it is
thought THIS caused the explosion. The
body was found near the entrance to-the
air shaft and this suggests the theory that
| the explosion was occasiouCd by pure care
| les.ness.
