DEATH FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Startling Suggestion Made in Church
by Rev. Lorimer.

by Kew. Eorlmer.
New York, May 27-"Every life
that is sacrificed by reckless rich men
in fast automobiles ought to be paid
for in the electric chair
In these words the Rev. DR.. George
c.. Lorimer, formerly of Chicago, de-
nounced reckless automobile owners
in his annual sermon to the American
Tract society, delivered at the Madi-
son Avenue Baptist church.
The men who ride down persons
in an automobile are generally
wealthy" he said. '"They are likely
to be persons of cultivation, and per
sonally their feelings toward the poor
are doubtless amiable enough. But
when it is matter Of interfering with
their amusements, the life of poor
man counts for nothing with them"

London, May 27.-The Mail this
lorning says the cabinet council to-
av will decide upon the points in de-
lii mostly of financial nature which
ave been raised by the beers in the
eace negotiations. Great Britain's
8cision will then be communicated
the Vereeniging conference by del
gates at Pretoria, and, being the best
btainable terms, they win almost
ertainly be accepted. The results
hould be announced officially Thurs
ay or Friday. Peace is quite certain

Views at Pretoria.
Pretoria, May 27.-The prevalence
t optimistic feeling in regard to peace
egotiations is hardly based upon
old facts. The protraction of the
difference at Vereenging is not a
topeful sign. Delegates to the con-
erence, although they have aban-
oned hopes of securing independ-
nee, still have many points Oh differ
nee with the government, while the
obstinate minority continues to re-
sard the resumption of hostilitfes as
he best outcome of the present situa-
non. At any moment these points of
Inference may be accentuated into a
efusal to continue negotiations. It is
most unlikely that those who are in
,avOr of peace will throw up the
sponge as long as a decent minority
is DESTROYS of continuing the struggle
and all these dissonant elements must
be taken into account before it is pos
sible to give any sort of prediction as
to the issue of the present negotia-
tons.
Continent Wants Peace.
Vienna. May 27.-The Neue Freie
Presse. says the Vienna correspond
ent of the Times, publishes an article
on the peace prospects in south Afri-
ca which is interesting for two
reasons.
In the first place, it confirms the
idea that peace is desired almost as
eagerly on the continent as in Great
Britain. Secondly, the change Of tone
of this and other Austrian papers in
regard to the south African war justi-
fes the inference that since the Ger
man tariff bill and other incidents
have opened the eyes of Austrians to
the dupIicity Of their exacting allies,
they have ceased to take their cue
from the pro-boer Prussian papers.
Says Hitch Occurred.
London, May 27-tJust before parlia-
ment rose after midnight last night, a
rumor reached the Hobbies that a
1itche had occurred in the peace nego-

certained, but the Associated Press
dispatch from Pretoria may be regard
ed as an indication that such hitch
1as. occurred.
