UNITED STATES GIVES AID.

No Direct InterventiOn-Will Simply

Negotiations Between the BeIlig-
erents-xruger Has Applied to the
POwers-RumOrs Anoat.

Washington, March l3.-There is rea-
son to believe that the United States gov
eminent is using its good offices to restore
peace tween Great Britain and the South
African republics. This has not taken the
shape of proffered mediation. That would
be distinctly repugnant to Great Britain,
and according to the rule of international
law, which has without exception govern
ed the state department in the past, could
not be volunteered by the United States
unless it was known to be acceptable to
both parties to the war.
But the United States might very prop
erly serve as intermediary to transmit an
appeal for peace and terms upon which
peace can be secured. The United States
the past, notably in the interior Of China,
during the Chinese war, and it is believed
that good offices in this line are now be-
ing extended. 1t is believed to be well
founded that Adelbert Hay, United States
consul to Pretoria, has been the instru-
ment of transmitting to the British gov
eminent through the double intervention
of the state department and Ambassador
Choate, in the anticipation of an appeal
from Presidents Kruger and Steyn, re-
quest to be informed as to the terms upon
which the war can be ended. The facts
in the case will be fully developed in day
OF two.
kruger Asks for Intervention.
The Hague March l3.--It is learned
from reliable source that President Kru-
ger, through the consuls at Pretoria, has
appealed for the intervention of the great
powers in the Transvaal war. He has also
appealed to the governments of Belgium,
Holland and Switzerland.
Nearing BIOemfontein.
London, March l3.-At the present rate
of progress, Lord Roberts should be in
Bloemfontein March IA, though all calcu-
lations may be upset by the development
of more strenuous resistance than the
Beers have so far attempted. The dis
lance between Roberts and the Free State
capital is now so small-only about rs
mies-that it is apparent the Beers either
contemplate making determined stand
on the outskirts OF the town or for STRAIT
egy reasons best known to themselves are
allowing Lord Roberts to occupy it after
merely harassng his advance. The numer-
zeal superiority of the British troops leaves
no doubt in the minds of the critics here
that Lord Roberts will accomplish his i'm
mediate objective, the occupation of
Bloemfontein.

From Natal, which General Butler so er-
roneously declared was free of Beers, and
from Cape Colony, where General Kitch-
eners stern hand is upon the rebellion,
there is no news of any Importance.

NOT ABSOLUTELY IGNORANT.

1t is commonly understood that one
of the newspapers of New York City
has a rule to employ none but college
graduates on it's staff. 1t may or it may
not be true. Nevertheless, young
man of good address, bringing with
him excellent recommendations, and
equipped for journalistic work by sew
eral years. experience, called one day
at the editorial Office of that paper.
He made so good an impression that
the managing editor was about to
assign him place on the staff, when,
as if remembering something he had
overlooked in examining the applicant,
he suddenly asked:
"By the way, of what college or uni
versity are you graduate?"

Truly no man is so careless in his
business as the farmer. Profits go to
the winds when the stock stand for
day in the rough elements; they go to
the bitches as the rains soak through
the manure piles; they go to the rub

make havoc with the neglected wagons
and implements; they go into the mud
when the cattle tramp the uncut fodder
under foot; they verify ''go to the Devil"
when the loafing or drinking farmer
lets his fences go to rack and the cor
ner grow up with briars. In addition,
