pencc envoy. Given Auaicncc

The Hague. April 19.--Queen Wilhcl-
NINA gave'a private audience to the Boer
peace commission, at which Dir. Leyds.
the diplomatic agent of the Transyaal,
was present. There is a difference OF
opinion as TO the significance of this audi
ence. While it is freely admitted that
Holland alone would be unable to accom-
plsh anything in aid Of the South AT
rican republics, the reception Of the Boer
peace commission by the queen is taken
in Some quarters as an indication of the
prevalence of peace sentiment in seme
other European capitals. There has dur
ing the past few days been much talk of
| overtures being made by some of the
powers to England for the ending of the
war, and this event may possibly be an
opening wedge in that direction. As it
was here that the peace conference called
= by the czar convened, there may he spe-
cial significance in Queen Wilhemina's s
reception TO the Buer peace cnvoys.
