ter which Miss Emma Prick rendered
very effectively a recitation entitled,
"Reminiscences of the Last Charge of

usual excellent manner, his selection
being, THE Union of the Blue and

quartette, composed of Messrs. Grass,
Marquardt, Merz and Jones. Mrs. Nc
Cutcheon favored the audience with a
vocal solo. The next number on the pro-
gram was a series of artistic and grace
full Delsarte poses by Mrs. Roger. The

n appropriate. After another selec-

America viii Not Comply With Request
Of Beers. s5E s
WASHINGTON, May 22.The Boer
peace commissioners were received by
Secretary Hay yesterday. After the
interview the commissioners declined
to say anything as to what had hap
pened The secretary of state, after
consulting with the president, was
more communicative and gave out a
statement in which he states that the
Boer delegates submitted at much
length and with great energy and ell
oquence the merits of the controversy
n>South Africa and the desire Of the
Boer republics that the United States
should intervene in the interest OF
peace and use its influence to that end
with the British government Secre-
tary Hay, in reply, reviewed at length
the presidents attempt atintervention
at the request Of the two South African
republics, made through the United
States consul at Pretoria, last March,
to which Lord Salisbury had replied
that his government could not accept
the intervention of any power. He
further said the president desired that
the war be brought to a speedy close,
but having done his full duty he feels
that no course is open to him except to
persist in his policy of impartial neu-
trality.

KRUGER has NOT SUED.

Report That He Has sued for Peace
Entirely Unfounded.
LONDON, May 22.-The Associated
Press is able to say that no news from
Kruger, direct or indirect, has recently
been received by Salisbury or any de-
partment of the British government,
nor, it may be added, is there any
communication from him dealing with
the question Of the cessation OF hostil-
tiles expected by them in the imme-
diate future. The proximity of peace,
according to the government point of
view, will remain matter of military
progress. How soon the latter may
bring about the former is still too
suggestions for serious forecast on
the part Of any government official
The. concensus of opinion, as CLEANED
by the Associated Press at the govern
ment Office, is that the Boer delegates
will exhaust every effort in the United
States before Kruger sues directly,
though Salisbury himself does not be-
lieve the Beers will accomplish much
in the United States.

~ His Favor.
WASHINGTON, May 92.-The Ken
lucky governorship contest was decid-
ed by the United States supreme court
in the interests of Governor Beclkham,
affirming the decision Of the Kentucky
court of appeals. The decision was
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller,
one justice dissenting on the want of
jurisdiction. The court held to the
declaration, in cases Of this character,
that contests for state Offices must
necessarily be settled by the political
branch OF the government and that
branch had acted in the Kentucky case
when the general assembly took juris-
diction. There is no appeal from the
assembly decision, which was favor
able to Goebel and Beckham, except to
the tribunal of the people, which
tribunal, the chief justice said, was in
session. He said the case was purely
state case; that Kentucky was in full
possession of its facilities as one of the
union, and that there was no emer-
gency at this time calling for
interference - y -
