sive, abandoning an offensive policy
Abraham's Kraal as shown in the
war office maps, is a group of three
kopjes situated at the junction of Kaal
Spruit with Modder river. 1t is a ma
ural point of concentration which the
Beers could make exceedingly strong;
but after the proofs Of the mobility of
the army of Lord Roberts it may be
doubted whether they will make a
really serious attempt to bar his ad-
vance there
A noticeable feature of all the recent

been the active employment of coleman

with the policy adopted at the begin

TO MEET PRES. STEYN.
That Is Said 10 Be Object Of Pres. Kruger.
Journey.

London, March 4.-Pres. Kruger is said
to have left Pretoria with the intention al
meeting Pres. Steyn. The place where
they will meet is not mentioned, but is
believed to be somewhere in the Orange
Free State. Those in South Africa who
are cOnversant with the effect the recent
reverses have had on the Beers express
the opinion that the meeting Of the two
Presidents is preliminary to Il suggestion
Of negotiations for peace.
But if this be the case. il must be due
to the pressure brought to bear upon the
Presidents by the burghers and Afrikln-
derS in the British colonies rather than
To the personal inclinations Of the Presi-
dents. as all the available informa ton de-
picts them as being as determined as ever
to persist in the war.
Some significance is attached to the
consultation in view of the reported visit
70 England Of Chief Justice De Nillicrs,
Mir. Hofmeyr ana Dr. Te Water. ostensi-
bly, on private business and for their
health.
But the closest observers do not antici-
pate any sudden cessation Of hoStilitieS
and. certainly, the reports from the thed-
ter of war do not tend to encourage the
advocates of immediate peace.
The Beers are apparently raltyinS with
their accustomed ability TO repair a tenn
porary reverse, and Great britain has
yet to test their force as defensive
power under the new conditions of war
fare.
Outside the meeting Of the Presidents
there is no news Indicative Of any change
in the situation.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Gertrude Coleman Ends Her Lie by Poison in
New York City.

New York, March A young woman
stylishly dressed, with black hair and
dark brown eyes, swallowed a fatal
draft of carbolic acid in front of the
Hotel Metropole, 42nd street and Broad
way, early Saturday morning. Police

out having regained consciousness.

wore black clothing, and had fur boa
around her neck. In a pocket was an
envelope with this inscription: Mrs.
c.. +. Collins, No. 63 Prospect place,
New York.
At the Collins address a young man
who refused his name said: Il gave a
woman an envelope a few days ago
with that address on it. | think if you
go and see Mrs. Gertrude Coleman at
237 West 10th street, she can tell who
the woman is
At the West 40th street address a

There was nothing found ON the

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
Stockholm, Sweden, Feb. 12.-As
cabled to The Associated Press at the
time a representative of The Associat-

dience with King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway.
Naturally the King was much con-
cerned about the war in South Africa.
1t must be remembered that Great
Britain, though in no way an ally of
Sweden and Norway, is the best guar
antee for the independence of the two
northern countries. Great Britain :
world power once broken it would not
be long ere the two little nations Were
swallowed up by their mighty neigh
bors in the East.
From King Oscars conversation the
correspondent believed His Majesty

HANGING FIRE.
Quincy, Mass, Granite Cut
ters Firm in Demands.
Hardly Expected that an Agreement
will Be Reached, Tonight.
w., Agreement.

Quincy, Mass, March AFFAIRS in
the exciting labor troubles between the
granite manufacturers and cutters
have become more complicated and the
idea of a settlement seems as yet a
long way off. VIM. II. Mitchell, presl-
dent of the Manufacturers Associa-
tion of New England, and by virtue OF
his office, president of the ratification
committee. which, yesterday, repudia-
ted the action of the Barre manufact-
urers in effecting a settlement with the
cutters, was seen at mis- residence IN
this city, today, with reference to the
trend of affairs touching upon the
strike. He was not at liberty to go
into details of the meeting, but gave
what general information he could
concerning the present difficulties.
He said that the ratification commit
tee which had full power conferred up
on them by the association TO settle
such matters, was composed OF elsht
members, two of whom were Barre
manufacturers 1t was learned at yes
terday's meeting that a decision was
reached between the Barre manufact-
urers and the cutters, after close
vote.
He wished it explicitly understood
that the settlement in the Vermont
city was upon the basis of 30 cent aV-
erage instead of minimum as the cut
terS claim. To substantiate this state
ment, he said. that written agree
ment upon an average payment or 80
cents per hour was submitted to the
meeting, signed by the secretary of the
Barre Manufacturers Association and
the secretary of the Barre branch of
the National Cutters Union
This agreement Will be presented at
the Joint meeting of the conference
committee of the manufacturers and
cutters, who will convene in this city,
tomorrow evening. 1t is not the gen
eral belief that the manufacturers in
this city will make any further advance
in the wages over the SO cents offered,
which is an average wage per hour.
Mr. Mitchell further stated that the
settlement was only temporary in the
Vermont city. but he would not
prophesy as to the action of the Barre
Association. A few members may be
antagonistic to that action of the rati-
fication committee. but they did not
constitute the whole.
AS far as the settlement is concerned
in this city. the end is not in sight.
From the latest turn of affairs, no set
tlement is likely at the joint meeting
of the conference committee. which will
meet here. tomorrow.
1t now appears. that owing to the
prominence which Barre has in the
granite world, the trouble narrows it
self down to what the result of neSo-
tiations will be in that city for, should
Barre come to some definite settlement
which is likely to be agreeable to
Quincy all the other cutters in New
England will follow.
