United States charge d'affaires, Henry
White, saw Lord Salisbury at the for

from the British government, declining

u LONDON, March IA The United States
government, at the request Of President
Kruger and Preside Steyn, has offered
to the British government its services
as mediator, with the view Of bringing
about peace in South Africa.
The representa- made to Great
Britain were SO put that they assumed
nothing Of 9 desire to intervene, but
simply transmitted the communic cations
made to United States Consul Hay, at
Pretoria, with the accompanying assur-
ance that any thing the state department
could do in the interests of peace
would be gladly undertaken The
well known aversion Of the British gov
ernment to any foreign intervention
does not appear to have been aroused
in this instance. #3s
The offer Of mediation springs from
Pretoria, where Mr.. Hay, with the other
consuls, subsequent to Presidents Kru-
ger and Steyn sending their peace cable
gram to Lord Salisbury, were asked to
endeayor to secure the good offices Of
their respective governments, appar-
emily with the view Of bringing outside.

the instance of the United States consul,
whose Representa- ations to Secretary Hay
were forwarded March IL to the United
States embassy in don, with the in
5strnctions outlined above.

WEEK OF SIGHT SEEING.
Mr.. BIGELOw's LATE EXPERIENCES
His Impressions Of the Pacific Country,
With Descriptions Of Several
Interesting Incidents.

Pasadena, CAL, Feb ls, S00.
One Of the greatest wonders of the
world is the change that takes place
within the lifetime Of human being.
America stands at the head and front
of all nations in accomplishing what
had been considered impossible, and the
man who is entitled to the highest
honor In the world is the one who can
say, II am an American citizen" But
few years ago the broad and fertile
plains OF California were uncultivated;
the deer and antelope grazed in the
shade of the majestic mountains un.
disturbed; the waves Of the great est
body of water in the world washed
upon its shores unheeded. There were
a few Indians and q few monks here at
no one knows how early a day. The
monks in their religious zeal built mis-
sion houses Of adobe over $50 years ago
in the laudable endeavor to convert the
Indians. Some of. -thase missions are
still standing, and had the pleasure of
visiting one yesterday. 1t was great
curiosity. But hark! There is a word,
which then as now, wherever it is ut
tered, causes the heart of every civilized
person to beat with lightning speed. 1t
flew on the wings of the wind from
ocean to ocean; from north to south the
excitement was at fever heat. That
word is gold" Men left the ties of
home, love and friendship, and rushed
for the shining metal. They crossed
the almost unbounded plains and
deserts with OK teams, hand carts, and
packs upon their backs and endured the
untold suffering from drouth, starva-
tion, and Indian raids. Many poor
fellow never reached the land of his
dreams, but left his bones bleaching
upon the burning sands of the desert.
Others came around Cape Horn in sail
ing vessels, and the, time of the journey
depended upon the wind and storms
encountered. The financial result of
their terrible struggles is unknown and
whether they carried as q whole more
than they brought here is an open
question.
Now as a'resuIt of American push and
enterprise six or seven trans-continental
railroads are running night and day,
which cannot keep up with the fast in
creasing business and more lines are in
contemplation. know that statistics
are usually dull reading matter, but /
can best illustrate the business of this
portion of the universe by quoting the
report of the Los Angetos Chandler OF
Commerce. This report covers products
of Southern California only, which is
composed of seven counties, for the
year 1899:

Read And Respect IL.

Boldness, honesty and intelligence
are the qualities which, combined
with an understanding of what the
people want to know about, are es-
sential to the men who edit news
paper which the people not only read
but respect. The Chicago Ifmes-Her-
aid has these qualities shown in its

Fire at Charles City.

One OF the worst fires in the history
of Charles City occurred Wednesday
afternoon. The magnificent brick
school building is now totally destroyed,
the loss being $4,000 with but $4,000
insurance. The fire started i'm some
manner as yet unexplained from the
furnace in the basement and when it
was discovered had made good head
way along the joists. The utmost
efforts were made to save the structure,
but they were without avail. There
were over 400 school children in the
building when the fire was first dis.
covered, but excellent discipline and
cool headed work on the part of the
teachers prevented anything approach
ing panic and all escaped unhurt.
