noon today, but there is little
doubt that the relief of the gar
rison is fact.
The official announcement will
find d large part of London
asleep. having celebrated in adj
vance on the strength of the
press reports.
The absence of official conhr-
nation of news is attributed to
the lack of communication be-
tween the relief column and the
base.
The damper put upon the peo-
pie by the statement from the
war office that it had received
nothing from Mafeking was only
temporary. The people evident

lief of the town was correct
They refused to believe anything
else and tonight a scene which
outrivaled the announcement of
the relief of Ladysmith was en-
acted in the streets. The crowds
became hysterical with enthusi-
asm and paraded the streets long
after midnight singing national
songs. Even the theaters and
music halls caught the infections
and soon emptied themselves,

and terror of the night kept people
long awake, sitting pallid faces giving
ear.
1t was past twelve before the Des-
PREF family had retired. BY half-past
one, when the storm was already some
past it's height, the Doctor was awak-
ened from a troubled slumber. and sat
up. A noise still rang in his ears, but
whether of this world or of the world
of dreams he was not certain. Another
clap Of wind followed. 1t was accom-
panied by a %sickening movement of the
whole house, and in the subsequent lull
Desprez could hear the tiles pouring
like a cataract into the loft above his
head. He plucked Anastasie bodily out
of bed.
Rum" he cried, thrusting some
wearing apparel into her hands; "the
house is falling! To the garden!"
She did not pause to be twice hidden;
she was down the stair in an instant.
She had never before suspected herself
of such activity. The Doctor mean

CHAPTER XVI.-(CoNT1NuED.l

lnueed, IN this particular winter, dlC-
er the finding and losing of the treas
ure, the Desprezes had an anxiety OF a
very different order, and one which lay
nearer their hearts. Jean-Mar1e was
plainly not himself. He had fits OF hec-
tic activity, when he made unusual ex-
ertions to please, spoke more and fast
er, and redoubled in attention to his
lessons. But these were interrupted by
spells of me%lancholia and brooding
silence, when the boy was little better
than UNDESIRABLE.
Silence" the Doctor moralized-
you see, A~nastasie, what comes of ST.
lence. Had the boy properly unbo-
somed himself, the little disappoint-
ment about the treasure, the little an
noyance about Casimir's incivility,
would long ago have been forgotten.
AS it is, they prey Upon him like a
disease. He loses flesh, his appetite
is variable, and, on the whole, inn
paired. l keep him On the strictest
regimen, I exhibit the most powerful
tonics; both in vain"
Don't you think you drug him too
much?" asked madame, with an ire
pressible shudder.
"Drug?' cried the Doctor; Il drug?
A~nastasie, you are mad!!'
Time went on, and the boys health
still slowly declined. The Doctor
blamed the weather, which was cold
and boisterous. He called in his con-
frere from Bourron, took a fancy for
him, magnified his capacity, and was
pretty soon under treatment himself
it scarcely appeared for what COM
plant. He and Jean-Marie had each
medicine to take at different periods Of
the day. The Doctor used to lie in
wait for the exact moment, watch in
hand. "There is nothing like regular
ity," he would say, fill out the doses,
and dilate on the virtues of the
draught; and if the boy seemed lone
the better, the Doctor was not at all
the worse.
Gunpowder Day, the boy was partic-
ularly low. 1t was scowling, squally
weather. Huge broken companies of
clouds sailed swiftly overhead; raking
CLEANS of sunlight swept the village,
and were followed with intervals of
darkness and white, flying rain. At
times the wind lifted up it's voice and
beloved. The trees were all scourg-
ing themselves along the meadows, the
last leaves flying like dust.
The Doctor, between the boy and the
weather, was in his elements; he had a
theory to prove. He sat with his watch
out and a barometer in front of him,
waiting for the squalls and noting their
effect upon the human pulse. For the
true philosopher" he remarked de-
lightedly, every fact in nature is a
toy" A letter came to him; but, as its
arrival conceded with the approach OF
another gust, he merely crammed il
into his pockets, gave the time to Jean
Marie, and the next moment they were
both counting their pulses as if for g
wager.

actual Chinese government, it is made
clear that the time has not arrived for
pursuing the negotiations proposed The
formal courtesy of diplomatic proceed
ure is preserved, but at the same time
the entire tenor of the document is
marked by force and frmness.
The government of the United States
takes The position that negotiations are
impossible with a government which
cannot prevent hostilities against the
forces of the powers, which were sent
10 the Chinese capital TO save their en-
VOyS. As long as attacks are made on
the troops of this and other govern
ments. such as have followed the oe-
cuDatiOn of Pekin and the attacks in
the vicinity of Tien Tsin, it is deemed
that the Chinese government is either
unwilling or unable To prevent these
hOstilities, and for this reason negotia-
tons must be deferred. 1t is stated,
however, that the reply is a step in the
direction of opening negotiations.
No question is raised to the authority
of Ii Hung Chang to represent his
government, but it is said that his Gre
dentials. like those of all others who
come together for the purpose Of nego-
tiating terms OF peace, may be exam
ined by the respective governments,
and the validity of the papers of each
representative determined by that body.

THE TERMINAL PURCHASE.
Was the Popular Topic Of Converse
ton Yesterday.

The announcement coming from Los
Angeles that W. A. Clark had bought
a half-interest in the Los Angeles Ter
minal railway was a popular topic of
conversation on the streets and in the
railroad offices yesterday. The truth
fulness of the story is doubted by
some; but every one seemed to express
the hODe that il is so.
On the other hand. there are a few
who have been watching events in the
southern part of the state and are in
cllned TO the belief that the locating
and bonding of a vast territory of coal
lands in Carbon, Grand and iron cOun-
ties is only part Of the scheme behind
the purchase of the Los Angeles Ter
miEal lines. It has been rumOred for
some time that Clark had a hand in
the gathering together of these coal
lands. and if ii is a fact that he has
acquired the interests in the Terminal
road 1t gives the rumoT some credence.
1t is known that when the iron lands
IN Iron county were tied UP under Op-
ton and located by the mining engi-
neerS sent out to examine the terri
tory, the same crowd putting uD for
the exploratory work done here held
an option on a majority of the stock of
the Terminal road. 1t was stated
about that time By an official of the
Los Angeles road that lifeline would
be extended to Salt Lake.
Since then the search for coal lands
has been going on continuously while
the interest in the iron lands was al
lowed to lapse. Some of the options
expired without being taken u. but
the representatives of the crowd which
secured them made no secret of the
fact that they had located all the iron
lands they wanted and gave that as 4
reason for the lapSes.
Declarations were also made that the
iron was OF no value unless the coal
went with i. 50 it can be cOnfectured
that the conclusion was reached that
having the coal lands under control. as
3 natural consequence there would be
the key to the situation SO far as the
cCal lands are concerned.
Persons acquainted with all these
facts believe the line to Los Angeles
VIII be built and that very soon. es-
pecially if W. \. Clark is to be the
leading power in the promotion Of the
scheme.
