THEIR MISSION HOPELESS.


Berlin, Saturday, April %
The Dresden Neueste Nachrich-
ten learns from the best source
that at the conference held be
tween members of the Boer mis-
sion and Doctor De Beaufort, the
Dutch Minister of Foreign At
fairs, the latter did his best 10
convince the Transvaal delegates
of the hopelessness of their mis-
sion.
At the pressing request of the
mission Doctor De Beaufort put
himself in com munication with
the cabinets in Berlin, Vienna,
St. Petersburg and Paris, and
naturally received from all of
them the same answer, that any
Intervention in the South Afri
can war was impossible.
All the powers, without excep-
tion, advised the Beers to make
overtures of peace to England,
urging the point that if their in
dependence should be sacrificed,
conclusion of peace would at least
put an end to useless bloodshed.

must QEAR ALL TIL HOSPITALS"
This Order rIeans That Roberts Ex-
poets Some Serious Engagement
and Heavy Fighting.

London, April 29.-The war
theorists, and critics are busy
trying to figure out the net re
suits of the past three weeks
fighting in Southeastern Orange
Free State.
The optimists declare that the
power of the Beers has been
broken III that part of South
Africa; that they are in full re-
treat, and that Lord Roberts
way for the long delayed advance
to Pretoria is now open.
Others assert that the Beers
have carried out their plan of
splitting up the main British
army into ineffective divisions;
that they have captured many
guns and prisoners; that they
have escaped the net that was so
patiently set for them, and that
Roberts is further away than
ever from the initial step of his
advance.
Presumably the British forces
are still tracking the Beers, who
are trelIking northward, but
there are no Dispatches at hand
to make this clear.
From Ladysmith it is, how
ever, learned that the great pas
ses in the Drakensburg noun
tains-Van Reenen 5, Titwa and
Olivier's 5 Hoek-are closely held
and held in such a way that ali
the forces holding them can be
massed at any point the British
may attempt TO force, so that
any advance from Northern Ma
tai seems to be beset with great
difficulties.
A strange suggestion is made
by the st. James Gazette this
evening nothing more nor less
than that Lord Roberts should
adopt Weyler's Cuban scheme
and treat the Free State farmers
as concentrates without "the
horrible dishonesty" of "the
Butchers" policy.
The present calm does not
however, indicate any "let-up ii
the campaign, and that bloody
action may be expected soon Is
indicated by a dispatch from
Cape Town to The effect that or
ders have been received there tC
clear all the hospitals of conva
leseents with a view to provide
for future contingencies.

The desire for Office frequently
outruns decency, even among those
who are considered respectable.
Within twenty four hours Of the
late Senator Davis death eleven
statesmen had announced them
selves as candidates for his seat in
the United States senate. Every
member Of Minnesota's delegation
in congress except one is on this
disgrac eful list. To find a sue
cessor to the dead senator will be
a comparatively easy matter, but
to find his equal win be impossible,
at least among those who ran a
risk of breaking their necks to gel
in this dead mans shoes. The in
decency Of this performance is or
a level with latter day politics.
