Anti-British Feeling Grows.

London, Nov. 2S,-The Daily Mail
publishes this morning the following
alarmist dispatch from Cape Town:
"The anti-British feeling in Cape
Colony is assuming dangerous proper
tions. owing to false stories spread of
British barbarity in Orange River Col
ony and the Transvaal. Loyalists fear
that the Dutch congress next week
will be the signal for a rising and
they demand that martial law be pro-
claimed throughout the colony. The
situation is declared to be graver than
at any previous period during the
war;
Referring editorially to its Cape
Town advices, the Daily Mail adopts
most serious tone, asserting that the
anti-British movement is accentuated
by the withdrawal of troops from Cape
Colony and calling for vigorous ac-
tion by the British government.

Peking, Nov. 25.-The diplomatic
body held a final meeting yesterday
and agreed upon the terms of the pre-
Iminary treaty. Nothing now remains
except to secure the approval of the
respective governments before definite
negotiations with the Chinese peace
points are in substantial agreement

A party of American cavalry went
yesterday to disperse a band Of bandits
in village 16 miles from Peking. The
village was found strongly fortified,
but the Americans attacked and cap
tured it, killing seven Chinese.
London, Nov 26- Mild satisfaction
is expressed in the London papers this
morning at the news that the diplo-
mats in Peking have arrived at pre-
liminary understanding, but no great
confidence seems ito be felt that any
real step has been made in the endless
negotiations. 1t is recognized that
there rs little for Germany to do but to
concede whatever the United States
and Russian agree. The Standard
says:
"It is hardly possible for Germany
to hold out, deeply offended as she is,
if the United States, Russia, France
and Japan are disposed to moderation.
Our Berlin correspondent believes that
Germany is prepared to waive the
death penalty"

Ea:nest Work Planned by the Irrigation
Congress--Two Conventions.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-The national irri-
CATION congress adjourned with pol
icy formulated for a vigorous legis-
lative campaign, with two conventions
arranged for the coming yes.r, and
with a new president elected, Thomas
F. Walsh, who announced that he was
going to make every member of the
association work every day in the year
for the speedy securing of government
aid to irrigation.
The resolutions adopted state the
objects of the association as follows:
Eve hail with satisfaction that fact
that both of the great political parties
of the nation in the last campaign de-
elared in favor of the reclamation Of
arid America, in order that settlers
night build homes on the public do
main, and to that end we urge upon
congress that national appropriations
commensurate with the magnitude Of
the problem should be made for the
preservation of the forest and the
ural storage reservoirs, and for the con-
struction sy the national government,
as part of the policy of internal i'm
provement, of storage reservoirs, and
other works for flood protection and to
save for use in aid of navigation and
irrigation the waters which now run
to waste. and for the development of
artesian and subterranean sources of
water supply"
1t was decided to hold a field day at
Colorado Springs next July, which
would be just as big convention as
could be assembled, but to hold the
annual convention proper at Buffalo
in October.

Quebec. Nov. 26.-The searching
7psiffy Which left Seven islands ON Sat
urday afternoon to rescue any of the
passengers or crew of the wrecked
steamer ST Olaf who might have
reached land, returned last night.
They report having found only one
body, that of Miss Page, buried in the
snow and ice. The general opinion
among seafaring men is that the dis
aster occurred during the night of
Wednesday last, as Miss Page was at
tired in night robes and that 26 pas
sengers succeeded in landing only to
die from cold and starvation on Boule
island, and that their bodies will be
found under the snow, which is three
feet deep there. Another searching
party will go out tomorrow to seacrh
for bodies in the snow.
