SMALL HOPE FOR PEACE,
President steyn in Communication With the
Transvaal Mission.
(By the Associated Press. !

Pretoria, Wednesday, April 2.-Commu-
nications have passed between President
Steyn and the Transvaal mission at
Kroonstai but nothing is yet known of
the result The majority of the mill
tary men and civilians here expect more
from the continual pressure of the
troops than from the present negotia-
tions. 1t is pointed cut that once be-
fore when hard pressed the Transvaalers
showed a desire for peace, but this was
promptly overriden by President Steyn.
Nothing in the present situation, so far
as known, indicates that President Stcyn
is less irreconclable than previously.
Indeed, the known facts seem to point
to a greater determination to continue
the struggle

that body was represented; that the
platform of the Peoples Party adopted
at Cincinnati in 1900, be re-affirmed and
adhered to until the next National Peo-
pies Party Convention in 1904 This
substitute caused considerable discussion
and created much excitement. Chair
man Parker, of the PODulist National
Committee urged that all minor differ
ences be laid aside. and that the reform
forces unite. He said that he had ler-
ters from the most noted socialists il
the country favoring the allied party
movement. He denounced as a Judas
Iscariot the man who would attempt to
obstruct the work begun for mankind.
Finally Mr. Williams presented a sub
stitute for the report of the Platform
Committee, as well as for his former
resolution, advocating the adoption of the
preamble of the original platform, to-
gether with the platform of the allied
forces adopted at Kansas City, which is
practically the same as that originally
recommended by the platform committee,
and further recommending the reaffirma-
ton of the spirit of the st. Louis, Omaha
and Cincinnati platforms of the Peoples
Party. his substitute was adopted by an
overwhelming vote as was the platform
of the new party. Mr.. Williams then
recommended that the new organization
be called the new Allied Peoples Party.
This report was also adopted by a large
majority.
Resolutions were passed asking the dis
missal of Third Assistant Postmaster
General Madden for alleged discrimna-
ton against reform papers, and urging
that the members of the party demand
the union label on all goods purchased
by them
The report of the Committee on Party
Organization provided for a National
and Executive Committee and represen-
tation at national convention and the
convention adjourned sine die after reso-
lutions of regret at the death of former
Governor Waite, of Colorado, had been
adpted.

judges, military and naval officials, the
representatives of the colonies churches
and parliament, the macers and the
Stats of the De Beers and the British
Chartered South Africa Companies.
All business was suspended during the
funeral and all the public buildings were
draped in mourning.

The death of Mr.. Mast is deeply la
mented by the natives who held him
In high esteem.
Thomas Mast was appointed consul

ing New York for his post July !.
He was born at Landau, Bavaria,
Sept. ~, 1910, and came to the United

rection was in the Office of Frank Les

came well known as an illustrator of
books. He was also a lecturer of con-
siderable merit and his speciality was
n illustrating his remarks with rapid
ly drawn caricatures, on the platform,
