REJECTED BY BOTHA.
Peace Terms offered Do Not Please
Boer Leader.

Boer Leader.
Joseph Chamberlain. the British Co
lOnial Secretary. informed the House of
Commons Tuesday that Gen. Botha has
rejected the peace terms offered him.
Gen. Botha, Mr.. Chamberlain said, had
conveyed the information in letter to
Gen. Kitchener, in which he announced
that he was not disposed to recommend
the terms of peace Gen. Kitchener was
instructed to offer him, TO the earnest
consideration of his government. Gen.
Botha added that his government and
its chief officers entirely agreed with his
view. The responsibility for the con
tinuance of guerilla warfare to the bitter
end consequently rests with Gen. Botha,
and those whom he was consulting. This
was the impression which Mr.. Chamber
lain clearly conveyed.
The miniSterialistS accepted Gen. Be-
tha's answer philosophically as a proof
that the war must go on until the Boer
leaders We're captured, says a London
correspondent, and the Chancellor of the
EXchequer might as we'll pigeon-hole his
more favorable budget and warn taXpay-
ers to prepare for the worst, the sugar
duty as well as the increased income tax.
The pro-Boer Liberals, who are look
ing for strange revelations from Holland,
are predicting that Gen. Botha will have
a version of the negotiations quite diff
ferent from the one authorized by the
foreign office

Congress having given President Nc
Kinley full uthOrity-military civil and
judicial-in the Philippines, it is general
ly understood that his next move will be
TO appoint Judge William H Taft, now
president of the Philippine Commission,
as governor to rule over the entire Phil
ippine archipelago in the name of the
United States.
Judge Taft's task will be a difficult
one. He will have to see that the civil
laws of the government agreed upon are
enforced, and enforced in such a way
that a free people will have no cause for
complaint. His accession to power will
be an opportunity to prove whether Il
man educated for the law will make as
good a governor under these circum-
stances as one whose life has been spent
among business pursuits.
Judge Taft will by no means be left to
achieve his instructions by purely moral
force. Gen. Chaffee is to succeed Gen.
Macarthur in command of the military
forces. and these will always be ar the
governors service to assist in the main
tenance of law and order. 1t is not like
~ that there will be any material reduc-
ton in the military forces in the islands
for at least a year.
Judge Taft is a son of Alonzo Taft,
who was minister to Russia under Presi-
dent Grant, and for a time Attorney
General. He was born in Cincinnati in
1857 and graduated from Yale. He has

CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA.
Students Shot Down at Cathedral and

Unless prompt measures are taken by
the Russian authorities it is believed
that a revolution, beginning in st. Pc

over Russia. The sedirious element
consisting of university students. social
ist demogogues and the oppressed wage
earners, is massing its forces against
aristocracy and the Greek hierarchy and
even threatens the life of the Gar The
plotters have already attempted the lives
of two ministers
The worst of the riots that have been
of daily occurrence during the past fort
night took place Tuesday on the occasion
of a solemn mass in the Cathedral of
Our Lady of Kazan for the repose of the
soul of NJ. BOgoliepoff, the minister of
public instruction, who was shot and IA

fired their revolverS and it is said that
five students We're killed and eighty

from the consideration of a decidedly an
savOry issue. The bill in question pro-
vides that no person may bring a charge
of polygamy except the alleged plural
wife of the accused or one of his blood
relations. 1t was represented, on behalf
of the bill, that it would put a stop to
malicious prosecutions growing out of
political or sectarian controversies. As
a matter of fact, the whole effect of the
bill would be to give the polygamist ex-
emptiOn from the nations laws and US
ages respecting marriage SO long as
he kept on good terms with his wives and
his relatives he would be free to prac-
tice polygamy without restraint. The
enactment of such law inevitably must
have brought before the country sooner
or later most distastefu issue.

The question has been often asked
whether painters should represent the
persons who sit to them adorned with
more charms than they really possess
The following anecdote may serve as
an answer.
a young man in country district of
France received the picture of the lady
whom his friends had destined for his
future wife. Struck with the beauties
which the portrait prttented to his
eyes, he FASTENED Immediately TO Paris,
to see the enchanting original. He
found, however, on arriving that the
young lady was void of every grace, in
short painfully plainlooking.
For that reason he wished to with
draw his prctensiOns. The parents Of
the lady became Indignant and press
ed him to perform his promise.
Il will marry the picture you sent
me with all my heart" replied the dis
appointed swain.

MUTlNY IN A MINE.
Kansas Conyicts Holding Guards az
Hostages Are Awed.

Three hundred convicts, maddened by
long hours of labor and hard prison fare
mutinied in the mine at the State peni
tertiary at Lansing. Kan. They seized
their guards and for thirty-six hours held
them as hostages T20 feet under ground
In the meantime they stalked in bands
through the workings of the shaft. cry
ing death to all officers of the law and
threatening to blow up the mine.
For thirty-six hours the desperate pris-
oners had absolute control of the mine.
They refused to allow a guard to ascend
in the cage, but every now and then sent
aloft note to the warden offering to ne
gotiate. The warden rejected all offers.
I'VE will kill the guards, blow up the
mine and die ourselves" came a mes
sage.
Still the warden was defiant. Conyicts
and guards in their power were becom-
ing more desperate with hunger. They
had lived ON the corn provided for the
mules in the mine. Rumors were spread
that the guards had been slain and these
set all Lansing and Kansas as well wild
with excitement
Go down with a party and shoot them
down. urged the citizens. Warden Tom
linson said: NO; I'll starve them out.
To descend the shaft would mean the
murder of scores. for some are life-term
men and desperate beyond comprehen-
sion"
As Tuesday night wore on the warden
held consultation with his officers, and
it was decided to attempt a rescue of the
guards and also to Overawe the conyicts
and force their surrender. Selecting his
men, the warden, with seven or eight
guards. heavily armed, entered the hoist
and were soon speeding downward
When near the bottom of the pit a heavy
fusillade was opened. the shots being
fred toward the top of the shaft
This took the convicts by surprise, and,
thinking that the shots were intended for
them, they hastily fed, leaving the
guards, who were soon joined by their
comrades, after which they were sent to
the top. The armed guards then start
ed after the convicts and soon had the
ringleaders under arrest, when the others
gave in and surrendered Internationally
The work of taking them to the surface
began, and before morning the cOnvicts
were again behind the bars of their cells.

Guam has population of 1851.
There are As States six territories and
the District of Columbia.
The population of the largest cities

Greater New York contains four-ffths
as many people as composed the whole

In round numbers the population of
the United States and its lately acquired
territory is S5,000,000.
No one State in the entire Union could
furnish a population great enough to peo-

There are. IS States, all the territories
90 and the District of COlumbia-25 in
all-which have a population Of less than
100000.
The following named States aud terri
tories do not contain any city with a
population of $4,000 or more: Arizona.
Idaho. Indian Territory, Mississippi,
Nevada. New Mexico. North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma. South Dakota.
Vermont and Wyoming.
II has been estimated by experts that
the population of this country a century
hence Will be at least 300,OO000O. One
estimate puts the figure at 441.009. 2O6.
The first estimate is that OF Robert P.
