KRUG ER-srEYN TERMS REJECTED.
Salisbury VIII Not Assent to Indepcnd-
encc- Official Com M u Il tcntions.

London, March 13.-In the house of
lords to-day Lord Salisbury read the
British governments reply to the re-
quest of Presidents Kruger and Steyn
for suspension of hostilities. The con-
Guiding sentence is as follows:
"Her majesty's government can only
answer your honors telegram by saying
it is not prepared to assent to the indie
pendence of either the South African
republic or the Orange Free State.'
The Bocr Kilograms.
A parliamentary paper containing the
kilograms sent to the British govern
ment by the presidents of the South
African republic and the Orange Free
State anr Great Britains reply thereto
was issued this afternoon. 1t first
gives the telegram sent by the two
presidents to Lord Salisbury, as fol-
lows:
Bloemfontein, March 5.-The blood
and the tears of thousands who have
suffered by this war and the prospect
of all moral and economic ruin where
with South Africa is now threatened,
make it necessary for both belligerents
to ask themselves dispassonately and
in the sight of the Triune God for what
are they fighting and whether the aim
of each justifies all this appalling mis-
cry and devastation.
"With this object, and in view of the
assertions of various British statesmen
to the effect that this war was begun
and is being carried on with the set
purpose of undermining her majesty's
authority in South Africa and of set
ting up an administration over all of
South Africa independent of her majes-
tvs government, we consider it our
duty to solemnly declare that this war
was undertaken solely as defensive
measure to maintain the threatened in
dependence of the South African re-
public, and is only continued in order
to secure and maintain the incontesta-
BILE independence of both republics as
sovereign international states and to
obtain the assurance that those of her
majesty's subjects who have taken part
with US in this war shall suffer no harm
whatever in person or property. On
these conditions, but on these conditions
alone, are we now, as in the past, de-
srous of seeing peace re-established in
South Africa; while if her majesty's
government is determined to destroy the
independence of the republics there is
nothing left to us and to our people but
to persevere to the end in the course al
ready begun.
'In spite of the overwhelming pre-
eminence of the British empire, we are
confident that God who lighted the un-
extinguishable fire of love of freedom in
the hearts of ourselves and of our
fathers will not forsake us and will ac-
His work in us and in our de-
scendantS. We hesitated to make this
declaration earlier to your exceIlency,
as we feared that as long as the advan-
tage was always on our side and as
long as our forces held defensive posi-
tions far within her majesty's colonies,
such declaration might hurt the feel

RenMter,s sixth Lectnre.

Cambridge Mass, March I'm de
Regnier gave his sixth lecture this af-
ternoon at Harvard, his subject being
THE Poets of To-day" He said in
part- "The spiritualistic movement had
no one greater writer to stand at it's
head, as Victor Hugo stood at the head
of the Romantic movement. There
were a number of writers of small rep
utation, but no one of unusual great
ness. The lecturer then reviewed the
work of several of these poets.

Early Sunday School Remlnl.senee.

In 1917 at Greensboro, Vermont,
was held Sunday School convention,
and the gathering was held in a
large barn. 1t was historical fact
at that time that little girl two
years old sang beautiful solo. While
singing the little maid was standing
upon the hand Of man who held
the singer up before the audience.
On Tuesday. October %. 1900, anoth-
er Sunday School convention was
held at Barre, Vermont, and before
this gathering appeared the little
girl singer, now woman 85 years of
age, and sang again the solo sung in
1877. In this now aged and respect
ed lady Canon City feels large de-
gree of pride from the fact that for
many years Mrs. Blake (the child
soloist) resided here with her son.

The Barre (vt.) Daily Time. speak
ing Of the convention, says of the
event in 1877:
Following this address the Rev.
p. b. Fisk of Greensboro gave some
interesting bits of history concerning
the first Sunday school carried on in
the state. This was in Greensboro in
1908. He presented the chairman
a gavel made from the timbers of a
barn where was held the first Sunday
School convention in 1877. The case
containing the gavel is made of a
board from the house in which the
first Sunday school was organized.
At this first convention held in the
barn referred to, q little girl less
than two years old sang a solo. This
same little girl now a woman So years
old was introduced TO the delegates
by Mr.. Fisk and sang again the song
that she sung at that FIRST convention.
This lady, Mrs. Blake of Morrisville,
was by unanimous vote constituted
a member Of the convention"
