dress being made for the little girl. The
three sat together In the sitting room. Mrs.
Henges Inch observed Pallesen's attitude OF
dependency and suggested that he take
some medicine. Her voice. though not loud
carried her words to the dining room, where
the man sat.

ONLY ACTING AS A "Go-BErwEEN." f"

No Proposition offered by the United
States as n Basis of IA Peace Agreement.
Washington, Especial. Ut was stated on
the highest authority that the United States
government In transmitting the communica-
tlons OF President Kruger and Steyn to the
British government was not acting In tho
capacity OF o mediator, but simply rs a
''go-between."
Not single proposition to serve as basis
OF peace agreement between Great Britain
and the Boer republics was set out In the
communication to Lord Salisbury. All that
was ventured in this first overture was an
inquiry as to what Great Britain was likely
to demand as the price OF stopping the war.
To have gone further and have proposed
terms on our own account might have placed
the United States ia tho position OF an unin-
yited mediator.
