70 those unfamiliar with the healing
system known rs Christian Science there
may seem TO be lack of wisdom in dis
CHfding the wcll-knoWn and lOng-estab-
lished systems of healing by drugs and
ether material means, and trusting To Il

We are nevertheless aware that fair
minded newspaper men. even though they
may not endorse Christian Science, do
not wish 10 do it and it's adhcrcnts in

il * entitled.
This suggests the question whether, If
they desire 10 publish anything relating
to Christian Science, they can occupy
this fair attitude toward il unless they
take reasonable pains 10 inform them
selves as to what Christian Science is,

where, for obvious reasons. publicity is
not desired by those interested: and their
wishes should be respected There are
on the other hand. numerous instances
where the beneficiary is only too glad

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The first peace overtures arising from
the South African war have been made
but it is understood 10 London that they
have been emphaticslly rejected. Pres
ident Kruger, of the Transvaal, and
President Steyn, of the Orange Free
State, have made the proposal. They
are reported to have offered about the
same terms as they put forward just be.
fore the war began, but insist upon 10
dependence for the republics. This ex-
cites strong antagonism from the war
party 10 Eoglsnd, which insists upon
the complete subjugation of the Beers,
taking away their independence and
Incorporating their territory into Brit.
ish crown colony. Nevertheless there
are signs in London that the end of the
war is considered near. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, in explaining to bankers
the terms of the new government loan,
gave them an intimation that the gov
eminent expected hostilties TO end be-
fore all the money is spent. Orders for
more artillery TO embark for South A.!

A dispatch to the London Daily Mail
from Pretoria say the Beers consider

emanated. II England is wsgine a

the Boer women are preparing to de-
fend Pretoria il necessary. They are
said to have held mass meetings and
raised money to arm themselves with
light guns.
Lord Roberts, in his Orange Free
State campaign, continues to press on
toward BloemfooteiD. AS the Beers in
front OF him are concentrated at Abra
hams Krsal, which is northwest Of
BlOemfortein, it is supposed that they
do not intend to oppose British, occu.
patton of the Free State capital. In a
dispatch to the London war Office Lord
Roberts states that presidents Kruger
and Steyp were both present at the Fl light
of March and did all in their power to
rally their troops" British press dis
patches say it is reported that President
Kruger will take the supreme command
at Abraham's Kraal in place OF General
Joubert. They also say the Beers are
demoralized.
