MORE RUMoRs OF PEACE.
Latest from South Africa SAYS Roberts Is
Negotiating Terms Through Wives
of Kruger and Botha.

London, June IA rumor is rife
in the city that Lord Roberts is ne
gotiating with President Kruger and
Gen. Botha, through their wives, re-
garding terms of surrender.
The Lourenzo Marques correspond
ent of the Times says: president
Kruger has removed his headquarters
to Atkmaar, near Mel Pruit. Trust
worthy men who have been at Mach
adodorp within a few days say it is
extremely problematical whether the
Beers will carry out their professed
intention to retire to the Lydenburg
hills. These people are inclined to
believe that the Beers will stick to
the main line of railway as long as
possible, and that, unless they sur
render, they will fall back to the
Dekaap valley, the most mountainous
portion of the Transvaal. A strong
objection to the Lydenburg district
is the fact that the native tribes are
very much unsettled.'

skilled and UnskIned Labor.

A convincing argument in favor of
trade schools is given by the Educa-
tional Times. It points to the fact
that the market for clerks and IN
skilled labor is overcrowded, while
skilled artisans in nearly every line
are in great demand. The cause OF
this is said to be that the demand for
boys at small wages leads to the re
moving of many lads from school be-
fore they have received an adequate
education. They are in hurry to be
seIf-supporting, and in this way ruin
their chaEces for life.

The primary cause of the great
famine in India, according to Miss
Lillian Marks, an American girl who
is working among the starving ma
tives, is the overcrowded condition of
the country. The population is SO
dense that when there is a crop fail
ure, due to drought or any other
cause, millions who depend for food
on what they themselves raise, and
who have no money to buy, are left
utterly dependent on charity.

of the capital are guarded by 100000

empress dowageT says that no more
foreign troops have or shall enter
