SWISS oEPLY TO THE BOERs.

Why the Republic Will Not Enter the
Controversy.
Berne, Switzerland, March 21.-The
federal council has answered the Boer
appeal for mediation as follows:
1.-The Swiss federal council would have
been pleased to cooperate in friendly
mediation in order to end further blood
shed, but as the presidents of both
South African republics have directly
approached the British government in
order to conclude peace on basis indi-
Gated and the British government has
shown itself against the proposal; and
as, Furthermore, the British government
has declared to the cabinet at Washing
ton that it did not propose to accept the
intervention of any power, the Swiss
federal council, to it's regret, must also
renounce the idea of taking any steps
on the lines of the request made by the
presidents of the South African repub-
lies. There remains for the federal coun-
Gil, in the circumstances, nothing but to
express it's sincere wish that the bellig-
erents will have succeeded, at no too
distant date, in finding basis for an
understanding honorable to both par
ties"

LAvIGNE COMPANY FAILS.

Frederick C. Lum of SO Dwight street
has been appointed receiver of the La
vigne Automatic Manufacturing COM
pany of 161 River street by Judge
Wheeler of the superior COURT White
and Daggett acting as attorneys for the
Lavigne company. The company being
incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey, receiver was appointed in that
state, but what his name is could not
be learned yesterday.
Mr.. Lum was seen at his residence
yesterday and said that he had been APP
pointed receiver and would carry on
the business for some time until the or
ders on hand at present were filled at
any rate, but how much longer he did
not know. He said he knew nothing of
the reason of the assignment, as he
supposed the company to be in a good
condition and was much surprised when
he learned that he was appointed re-
ceiver of the company.
1t is understood that a former presi-
dent of the company furnished the
ready money for the company and with
his death, this source being withdrawn,
the company was put in tight place.
