parts, of II degrees 10 minutes each.

magnetized needle is fixed to the lower
part of the card. which revolyes with

pension being a similar hard material
The compass is kept horizontal by
supports on gimbols. In iron or steel
vessels the needle deviates from the
true north and south, but this is par

END OF LADYSMITH SIEGE.

Beers Determined to Leave When They
Heard of Cronje's Predicament.
. NEW YORK, March 5.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: Gen
eral Butler, in dispatch from Lady
smith, makes it clear that the Beers de-
cided to raise the siege of the town inn
mediately they learned that General
Cronje was at the mercy of General
Roberts at Paardeberg. The British ad
vance in Natal was then only opposed
in order to allow time for the big guns
and ammunition and stores to be safely
removed north and west. That the
Beers were not completely successful in
carrying out this intention was owing
to the fact that they were more or less
demoralized by General Buffers victor
ious attack on Tuesday. After the bat
tie, orders were evidently given for a
hasty retreat to the passes, with the re-
suit that large quantities of ammunition
and two guns were left behind. Prac-
ticaHy Natal is now clear of the repub-
ican forces.
Public interest in the war is already
declining since the end is a foregone
conclusion, tedious as may be the pro-
cess by which it will be reached. The
relief of two garrisons and the complete
collapse of the Dutch plan of campaign
leave General Roberts at liberty to con-
contrate his forces with the transport as
his chief difficulty to be overcome.

Washington Officials Not Dis
posed to Unduly Hurry
Negotiations,
Believing Consummation Of the
French Treaty Will Do
the Work.
IF They Do Not Come in France
Is Expected to Take Compel
tive Trade.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-While, tech
nically speaking, negotiations looking
to the making of reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Ger
many are still in progress, practically
nothing has been accomplished in that
direction since the departure of the
German ambassador, Herr Won Hol-
leben, for Germany early last summer.
There is no disposition whatever on the
part of the state department. to en-
barrass the German government by any
insistence at this time upon an active
prosecution Of the negotiations. While
far from satisfactory, the existing con-
ditions Of the American export trade
with Germany, can, it is believed
by the officials, be tolerated for a short
time. 1t is believed that when
the German government has secured
what it believes necessary, certain con-
cessions from the reichstag, it will be
ready to meet the United States. AT
any rate a conviction of this kind has
inspired the United States government
to.avoid any urgent representations con-
nected with the reciprocity negotiations
at this stage.
Another Reason for Delay.
There is, perhaps, another reason for
the negative course taken by our gov
eminent. This is desire to learn just
what effect the ratification by the United
States senate of the pending French re-
ciprocity treaty would have upon the
German government. It is said by the
officials here that as the French treaty
gives preferential rates to many articles
which figure largely in the list Of
German exports to the United States
the effect of the practical application of
the French treaty would be to confer
upon France all that share of the Amer
lean market now occupied by Germany.
To save this important trade to her man
ufacturers, Germany must, it is argued,
secure similar reciprocity treaty, and
this can only be secured by an abate-
ment of the restrictions ON the importa-
tions of American meats and other prod
ucts. This, by natural working of the
laws Of trade and commerce, it is con-
ceived by the officials that our govern
ment, may be able to entirely avoid q
recourse to the tremendous powers
lodged in the president, of prohibition
Of trade with a nation that discriminates
against the United States.

r'KINLEY ON IMPERIALISM.

Prudent speaks NJ the Ohio Society Ban.
qust is New York City.
NEW YORK, March 6.-At the banquet
Of the Ohio society at the Waldorf As
toria President Mckinley. in response
to toast in his honor, said: 4
There can be no imperialism. Those
who fear are against it. Those who
have faith in the republic are against it.
So that there is universal adherence for
it and unanimous opposition to it. Our
only difference is that those who do not
agree with us have no confidence in the
virtue or capacity or high purpose or
good faith of this free people as a civil
lining agency, while we believe that the
century Of free government which the
American people have enjoyed has not
rendered them faithless and irreso-
lutte, but has fitted them for the great
task of lifting up and assisting to better
conditions those distant people who
have, through the issue, of battle, be-
come our wards. Let us fear not. There
is no occasion for, faint hearts, no ex-
cuse for regrets. Nations do not grow
in strength and the cause of liberty and
law is not advanced by the doing of
easy things.
''The harder the task the greater will
be the result, the benefit and the honor.
To doubt our power to accomplish it is
to lose faith in the soundness and
strength of our popular institutions.
The hberators will never become the
oppressors. A self governed people will
never permit despotism in any govern
ment which they foster and defend.
Gentlemen, we have the new care
and cannot shift it. And, breaking up
the camp of ease and isolation, let US
bravely and hopefully and soberly con-
tinue the march of faithful service and
falter not until the work is done. 1t is
not possible that "a, 000, 900 of American
freemen are unable to establish liberty
and justice and good government in our
new possessions"

TO TALK IT OYER
Reported Presidents Kruger and
Steyn Will Meet in Orange
Free State
For Conference on the Present Sit
uation-Some Predict Peace
sOvertures.
Report Via New York That Beers
Are Preparing to Cut British !.
Communications.

LONDON, March 5.-2:27 p. m.-Presi-
dent Kruger is said to have left Pretoria
with the intention of meeting President
Steyn. The place where they will meet
is not mentioned, but is believed to be
somewhere in the Orange Free State.
Those in South Africa who are CONVEX
SAINT with the effect Of the recent re-
verses have had on the Beers, express
the opinion that the meeting Of the two
presidents is preliminary to a sugges-
ton Of negotiations for peace. But if
this is the case, it must be due to the
pressure brought to bear upon the pres
idents by the burghers and Afrikanders
in the British colonies, rather than In
the personal inclinations Of the presi-
dents, as all the available information
depicts them as being as determined as
ever to persist in the war until the re-
sources of the republics are much more
enfeebled than they seem to be at pres
ent, although some significance is at
tached to the consultation in view
of the reported visit to England of Chief
Justice de Vi1liers, Mr. Hoffmeier and
DR.. Tewater, ostensibly on private bust
ness and for their health. But, the
closest observers do not anticipate any
sudden cessation of hostihties and GER
tainly, the reports from the theater of
war do not tend to encourage the advo-
cate of immediate peace. The Beers
are apparently rallying with their &C
customed ability to repair a temporary
reverse, and Great Britain has yet to
test their force as defensive power un-
der the new conditions of warfare.
Outside the meeting of the presidents
there is no news indicative Of any
Grange in the situation. Telegraphing

lori mayor of Liverpool for his con-
CT rulations in behalf Of that city, Lord

lied the slums of London as

added, the public conscience d
been awakened and the demai r
cleansing these districts would shortly
result in the government introducing q
large scheme for reform which was now
in preparation and which he hoped
would solve the problem Of housing the
workers, than which there was no ques-
ton Of greater social importance.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The represen-

Mr.. George Van Siclen, has received
from European correspondent a dis
patch declaring that the burghers are
rapidly preparing to cut off both Rob-
erts and Butler from their base Of sup
plies. The dispatch goes on to say that
this may starve out both armies.
Mr.. Van Siclen refuses to disclose the
name Of the sender Of the message, and
declares that he has received other very
important news from the same source
which he is not at liberty to disclose.
The End In Not Yet"
Mr.. Van Siclen also says that though
an unfortunate occurrence, Cronje's sur
render is not by any means a disaster.
He says the Beers have three strona
lines Of defense, and that the British
must lose %, 900 more men before the
first line is taken. ~
If all three line of intrenchments are
stormed, Mr.. Siclen declares the Beers
still have the mountains to resort to.
