KRUGER IN HOLLAND.

President Kruger is at Utrecht, Hol-
land, and has had a long talk with the
inevitable interviewer. He says that
an arbitration tribunal can decide all
questions, even Independence itself.
He stands bravely by the Beers. He
declares that the people will shudder
with horror when they learn of the de-
tails of the atrocities we have suffered"
He will reside e Utecht, at a village
called Hilbersum. He declares that
Fischer viii share the same fate with
his heroic friend, President Steyn. and
the two presidents and the two com
handing generals Botha and deWet,
will share the same fate" He is per-
suaded that every thing is going well
in Africa in the face of British misrep-
reservations. He says "Botha was
true" and that Independence is the
only reasure we cherish" He said Of
this and the attitude of his enemies:
And added Mr.. Kruger, with still
more emphasis, if the English were
not blind, if they considered their own
interests well, if they were not hope
lessly enslaved by error and injustice.

we demand, in the hope Of
safeguarding it we shall be ready to
make many concessions and sacrifices.
And, moreover, it would assure peace
forever in South Africa"
His account of the atrocities perpe-
trated by the British is moving. He
has witnessed himself some of the bru-
talities. Here is his Indictment:
"'Our enemies ave violated all the
laws of war between civilized nations.
They have outraged liberty without re-
gard for the lives of non-combatants,
have pillaged and burned private prop
erty. They have treated as rebels men
who were known to be citizens of a bill
ligerent country. They have not even
spared women and children, those
sacred beings who are declared neutral
and inviolate by all international codes.
They ave slavishly initiated the pro-
ceedings which excited universal in
dignation when practiced in Cuh by
the Spanish generals and for which
Spain was as cruelty punished.
Everything hat has been said re-
speeding the horrors of war as waged
by English generals is far below the
truth, 1 declare, and history will bear
me out"

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
TWO CHURCH POINTS.

There is a discussion among northern
s'churchmen" as to changing the name
of the Protestant Episcopal church.
The New York Literary Digest has
an article on "a Church on a hunt for
a name" The same discussion came up
at the beginning OF the great wal as
to the name OF the Southern Episcopal
church. The late BishoD Atkinson fav-
pred Reform Catholic church" as did
some others. But the old name was re-
tanned. 1t is agreed that h true name
should be now The Church in the Unit
ed States" or THE American church.
May of the "churchmen" oppose any
change of name. Some prefer "Ameri-
can Catholic" and many insist that
Protestant" is. superfuous and mis-
leading. THE Literary Digest says:
Besides according to Anglican n
Catholic theology, every r part or
Christs' historic church must be Epls-
copal, so hat this part of the name
is taugoIogical. AS for the designation
Protestant" it is pointed out that the
present is a time when everything
tends rather to a minimizing OF Chris
tian differences and -antagonisms rath-
er than to their assertion. In fact, the
NOR advanced school of High-Church
Ang..Sans repudiate the designation
Protestant" altogether. call them
selves Catholics" and ook upon their
churCa as a national branch Of the one
Catholic church of Christ. together with
the national Orthodox churches of the
East Roman Catholic church."
The trend of the opinion. however, is
reported as opposed to any change re-
iative in the name.
