High Rates Charged to Travellers in the
French Metropolis.
A Chicago newspaper man now in
Paris writes home regarding the expense
of n visit to that city. He says: 1.-The
hotels have all raised their rates from 40
to SO per cent. The board amounts to
about SO n day, and all meals skinny
same thing every day. You are also
obliged to fee from six to ten people con.
tinually. Next to the hotels as free
hooters come the stores, especially cloth
ing stores. that have put up their prices
quite 40 per cent. Hats md shoes are
so per cent dearer than in 1889; neckties
that range from % cents to so cents in
New York, San Francisco and Los An
gelcs. range from three francs (6O cents)
to francs ($1.40) herc-and this in
the country of silk manufactures! Cot
ton, linen and WOODEN goods have nearly
all advanced from 20 to 80 per cent over
what they were in 1859. Canes and UNI
brellas and such from 20 to 40 per cent.
Shirts. handkerchiefs and gloves seem
not to have advanced so much.
Druggists goods have gone diaboli-
cally out of all sight of all grades of po-
lite robbery. A prescription that would
cost 25 cents in San Francisco is 81
here. An ounce Of castor oil is GO cents,
a pint of witch hazel is 90 cents and an
ounce of borax 40 cents. The only thing
cheap in Paris to-day is the cab. which
is still only 30 cents from my one point
to another in the city. for from one to
three persons, or 40 cents per hour for
same. Scores of Americans who had
come here to stay for several months are
going back.

AMERICAS AIo X

Kruger and Stcyn Request This Govern
mcnt to Communicate with Britain.
The first direct effort to aid the Bocr
republics to secure the services of the
United States Government in the direc-
ton Of bringing about peace in South
Africa has been made with some degree
of success. After c~ndeavoring, appar-
entity in vain, to induce the continental
powers to fender to Great Britain their
services as mediators. President Kruger
and presumably President Steyn have
turned to the American Government with
a request of such character that presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Hay found
that they could comply with it without
conflicting with their declarations that
the Government would not mediate be-
tween the bclligerents unless invited to
do SO by both.
Through Adelbcrt S. Hay, the United
States consul at Pretoria, the Boer gov
-ernments have asked the Government of
the United States to place before Great
Britain a statement of the terms upon
which the Beers are willing to negotiate
"a treaty of peace and TO ascertain terms
which Great Britain may deem it eXpcdi-
4ent to offer. The United States Govern
ment has thus been placed as a channel
for the transmission of communications
between the two belligerents without be-
ing called on to assume the initiative in
any phase of the present aspect Of the
situation.
President Mckinley directed that the
communication from Pretoria be trans
mitted to the British Government. The
terms which the Beers have proposed as
a preliminary to the arrangement of a
peace treaty are regarded as tentative
and to serve merely as an entering wedge
to securing Great Britain's consent to dis
cuss a general proposition for a peace
arrangement or the selection of a medi-
.ator, which is certain to be the United
States Government.
As the wal between Great Britain and
the Boer republics is regarded as u pure
~ foreign matter, the President, bound
by the pledge. given at The Hague peace
conference, could not, if he desired, take
the initiative in steps to bring the war
to an end.

An argument for the employment of
