victim of frightful accident while at

chimes in his charge when the belt from
one of the pulleys on the main shaft to
the machine beneath slipped off the ma

vove at a speed of 400 revolutions min
ute, and when it struck Kerns it caught
him by the right arm, twisting the mem
Der so suddenly and with such terrific force
that it drew the unfortunate man from the
floor almost to the ceiling, where it hurled
him against a large pipe.
The sudden twisting of the arm tore it
from the body of the man and the force
with which he struck the pipe broke his
leg in several places below the knee. The
first intimation any of Kerns' fellow
workmen had of an accident was when
the dsmembered arm fell from the body
and struck one of the men on the head. 1t
was but an instant after the belt struck
Kerns that he fell senseess and bleeding
to the floor. Kerns is % years OF age and
single. He will probably die.

New York, June ia dispatch from
London says:
The war office authorities say they have
received no news of meeting between
General Kitchener and General Botha near
Standerton last Wednesday, and the re-
port of tentative settlement between the
British and the Boer commanders is con-
sequently discredited in official quarters.
Mrs. Botha's arrival in London has, never
theess, revived peace rumors, to which
publicity has been given on several occa-
sions recently. 1t is impossible to say
what exactly is going on. but the general
opinion is that there must be some foun-
dation for the rumors. Mrs. Botha's visit
is still shrouded in secrecy, and although
it is freely stated that she is on a peace
mission no definite information can be OBJ
tanned.

TO END BR|TISH-BOER WAR.
STATEMENT BY Won BUEIow.
Said to Have Taken Up the Matter
With Consent OF Emperor William
At the Request OF Boer Leaders.

| Berlin, June 1.-THE Kelins journal
prints dispatch from The Hague saying
that Queen Wilhelminas recent visit here
was meant to obtain Emperor Williams
assistance to end the South African war,
both the zweibund and the dreibund be-
ing willing to do so through The Hague
arbitration court, and That he emperor
consented and the court began work there
on. The dispatch has created a sensation
here
| The Associated Press has just obtained
the following statement from the foreign
office, which is authorized by Count Won
Buelow, the imperial chancellor:
Neither Great Britain, France nor Rus
STA approached Germany to participate in
any action aiming at ending the South
: African war. Germany has all along dis
tinguished between Offering her good Off
ces and intervention. To render her good
offices would be possible, if both parties
to the war requested it, but it will be re-
membered that Great Britain only joined
The Hague conference on condition that
the Boer states were excluded. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who is a Sc
rious statesman, came to Europe to obtain
the good offices of several of the powers
to end the war, but there is also no doubt
that Great Britain does not want their
good offices.
cat least it is true that, since the
South African war began, Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing,
confdentially or officially, preached such
an idea. 1t is quite possible that the Boer
side has now formally asked The Hague
arbitration court to lend its aid to end
the war somehow, and that the court has
held a session regarding the matter, but
that, of course, is entirely different from
any serious steps to end the war;
