BoER PEACE ENJOYS.
They VIII BE Received as Visitors
Not as Kruger's Representatives.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-It can be
stated that the persons composing the Boer
delegation who are about to sail from
Europe for the United States this week
will not be denied access to the secretary
of state when they reach Washington.
They will be received as individuals, just
as was Mr.. Montagu White, but with the
distinct understanding that they are not
recognized officially as a Boer delegation.
In other words. Secretary Hay will treat
them exactly as he would treat any dis
tinguished foreign visitor without regard
to nationality. but will not admit their
competence TO enter into any negotiations
with the State Department.
1t is believed that the prospective visit
ors thoroughly understand the conditions
under which they will be received. and
that instead of directing their efforts upon
the government in Washington they will
rather seek to influence it through the
American people by means Of an active
Boer propaganda

CLEVELAND, o., April 3o.-The Leader

the outlook for the coming presidential

success of the ticket. The price of the
victory will be much harder unless there

a fight they did in 1896. There should be
no cessation in their endeavor TO eject

must be steady and unceasing. They
should go into the contest on the suppose
ton that hard work is absolutely essential
to victory.
of a most gratifying kind. At the Ohio
state convention, held in Columbus last
week. this spirit was manifested in plain
and unmistakable manner. The delegates
even then were preparing for the great
political battle, which will soon begin, and
ii was patent that they will go into II

Indiana convention, informs me that the
Republicans of his State possess the same
inspirations. This is true also OF RepuS-
licans in other States, and all reports

10 the same effect. Evidence IL plentiful
that the Republican party all over the
country realizes fully the necessity OF en-
tering the campaign with earnestness, and
a determination to win victory.

The Drop in Lead.

The big drop in the price of lead is
occupying marked attention in Colora
do and on the eastern markets and is
causing much uneasiness in Leadville
The Leadville Miner says of it:
at was in these columns that it was
predicted that the classification of the
smeItery interests of this country
would open the way to speculation in
either base or precious metals. When
the smelter trust ia an affected fight
on the National Lead trust raised the
price of lead, pretending to fight the
lead trust, this paper was the first, and
probably only, paper to make the ad
mission that possibly the smelter trust
was honest in its fight against the lead
trust. For some months the smelter
trust quotations were in advance Of
the broker quotations., so-called. The
present quotations would indicate that
there has been a decentralization in
prices of lead. 1t is going down, down,
down. Whether it is bearing move
ment on the part of the lead trust, or
on the part of the smelter trust, has
not yet been made manifest to the
miner who has to stand the loss. 1t il
immaterial, anyway, in the discussion.
The fact is that lead within a few
weeks has dropped nearly 80 cents per
hundred. This is fearful slump.
/ There is no valid reason for it what
ever The miner is being ground be
tween the neither and upper mill stones
of the trusts. Ores of lead base are
coming in from Canada and the smell
ter trust is using these for basis on
which to hammer lead down. There is
really a good demand for lead, and
there has been no over. production. Can
there be any other reason for the big
drop than speculation"
Since that appeared in the Miner an.
other cut in prices has been made.
President Nash, of the American Smelt-
ing aud Refining Company, New York
when asked about it explained that
the new cut had been made in order to
bring the market to settled basis and
prevent delay in orders in hope of fur
ther reductions.
At present it looks as if lead had
touched bedrock and that no more
cuts need be expected. 1t is quoted al
