PEACE sEEns NEAR IN AFRICA
British Success at BethIshsm Izn-
proves the Prospect.

A Pretoria dispatch says the.
British success at Bethlehem has
considerably improved the pros
poets for peace. It is said the
whole of the government Of Presi.
dent Steyn of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except Presi-
dent Steyn himself. These ofiicisls.
who are prisoners, have been
allowed to communicate with
President Steyn for the purpose Of
attempting to prove to him the
uselessness of q continuance of the
struggle which can cnly produce
bloodshed without sans ze0nnter-
balancing advantages.
The collapse Of the forces Of
General De Wet is expected daily.
The Beers here say the Beers hkEe
taken solemn oath never to per-
sonally surrender. sbut they are
beginning to see the unfairness ct
sacrificing life to personal Wishes.
It is expected that when General
Botha learns Of the defeat OF his
colleagues he win gladly enter into
conferences looking to the estab-
lishment of peace.
The need Of more civil admins
traitors is urgent. and the necessity
for their appointment is becoming
daily more apparent. Intelligent
administrators with . Knowledge
of the people could undoubtedly
greatly aid in the future settlement
Of difficulties. inasmuch as frank
feeling in favor of submission is
prevalent among the Beers.

for about half an hour This line had about 300 feet of hose, and the line was laid all most straight. l think 1b-inch nozzle was used on this line. Water was at first carried to the top of the building, in good, strong stream, strong enough to break a window pane. After the falling off of the pressure, by getting close to the building we could throw a stream to the second floor, about twenty feet above ground, but it would not break a window pane Later the pressure was renewed and the stream was then thrown to the top of the building. I have been with the de- partment for nearly two years, and don't remember the same conditions to have oc- cured before. The pressure returned to the First avenue and Nineteenth street line before the engine was attached to it. This stream was played on the Hewlett building"
 Calt. George Reyer
 Captain George Reyer superintendentAo Aof the Birmingham Water Works company: "The line of hose from First avenue and Nineteenth street was about 300 feet long, according to Browning's statement If the nozzles were wide open, and in good con dition, and the hose in good condition, the diminution of pressure would have been due to a diminutfon of water. The hydrant at Morris avenue and Eighteenth street Is supplied from 16-inch main, and all the water taken from it by the line of hose attached would not have affected the pres sure more than three or -four pounds The pressure down town should ordinarily be about the same at all hydrants."
 George E. Ward
 George B. Ward of the First National Bank was introduced by the water works company. ,He said: About quarter after o'clock took a line of %-inch hose up on top of the First National Bank build- ing. The line was about 150 feet long and the size of the nozzle was % of an inch. I got a good stream of water, but it stopped at one time for about five minutes. That was the only time I noticed any diminution of the pressure. I could throw the stream twenty or thirty feet, horizont- ally or about fifteen feet vertically"
 The First National bank building occupies the corner diagonally across First avenue and Twentieth street from the burned Hewlett building It Is a three-story build ing. The buildings water supply comes through %-inch pipe, which taps the l2- inch main in First avenue.
