The air without was warm and sweet.
Curtis beheld the familiar beauties of
the trees and inhaled the delicious odor
of the breath of May. He could re-

this peace and harmony but that seem

1t was very still except for the faint
sound of faraway drums heralding the
ceremonies of Memorial day. Then in
the southern chamber Alice began to
sing, and presently she looked out of
the window. checking her song and

with clinched hands, the nails biting

a little boy at the gate.

walked into the parlor, examining the
envelope meanwhile. 1T was very

Curtis restored the message to its
original condition and put it under a

door behind him. From a cleverly

be suspected. In his first panic after
reading the telegram he had intended
to burn them, but eventually he re-
placed them in the crevice under the
window seat.
1t seemed to him terrible and IN
merited misfortune that Captain Bryce
should have returned on the Sonoma
instead of waiting for the Grant, as he
had written that he would do. That
would have given nearly month more
time, and the game might have been
won.
''It may be won yet" he said, with
his lip crushed between his teeth.
In the Grafton Memorial day process
sion Miss Wrightington was the cap
tain of a company, very sweet and
lovable company composed of singing
children from the schools. This little
force had been brought into excellent
discipline. They marched with a pre-
cision that excited applause every
where, and when they were halted at
last in the position assigned to them in
the pretty cemetery on the hill their
alignment was much better than that
of the militia from Grafton Center
Presently, however, they were allowed
to break ranks and sit down upon the
fragrant banks bordering the paths of
the cemetery, and at this moment their
captain found Owen Curtis at her ell

CAPE REBELS STOP
PROGRESS OF PEACE

London, April 16-The Mail this
morning says it understands a serious
hitch has occurred in the peace nego-
tiations. The cabinet council has de-
cided to refuse the strongly worded
request of the bOer leaders at Pretoria
for an armistice pending negotiations.
This alone is not likely to cause the
beers to withdraw from the confer
ence, but what threatens to stop ne
gotiations is the fact that the gov
eminent declines to place the
cape rebels upon the same footing as
the burghers with respect to amnesty
and is not inclined to withdraw the
Punishment proclamation. These feat
ures are regarded by the beers as car
dinal points in the irreducible mini
mum of terms which Miner went to
Pretoria to ascertain and in return for
which the beers agree to the loss OF
independence and a general surrender.
Their other demands are that Great
Britain shall rebuild and restock the
farms, take over the legal claims
and liabilities of the two republics and
grant a representative government
within a shorter period than is now
contemplated"

Burroughs died at Butte about week
ago.
With his death passed away the rec
ognized leader of his profession in this
country and England. Within five
years past Burroughs had auctioned
off about 100000 worth Of jewels
for jewelry firms in every large city in
this country. He was in the auction
ing business for over twenty years
and his success was so great and his
fame so broadspread that he was in
demand everywhere. Even in London
he was employed.
He had engagements year ahead
among them being contracts with Eng
lish jewelers.. Burroughs had pleas
ing voice and a great fund of stories,
and his face was most expressive and
his personality magnetic.
He has been known to sell $685.

he sold one stock of jewels appraised
for $25O,O0O for $4,000 above the ap-
praised value. He usually received
10 per cent of the gross sales, and his
yearly income seldom fell below $40,-

should be given over to committee
of commercial men. Many took a
decidedly opposite view.

ENGLAND ANXIOUS OVER COMING
BUDGET.
ENORMOUS SUMS WANTED
But Sudden Coming of Peace Would
Make This cessary-GoVern-
ment Accedes to Boer Demands
Concerning the Restocking of
South African Farms.

London. April 15.-Not for many
years has Great Britains fiscal pro
gram been awaited with such interest
as that which is attached to this
years announcement and there is no
doubt that all the proposals contained
in the budget given out yesterday by
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer, will be adopted. 1t
is equally certain, however, that none
of the proposals will meet with unani-
nous approval on either side of the
house.
More important, perhaps, than the
curious forms of new taxation is the
statement that the government has ac-
coded to the boer demand concerning
the restocking Of farms.
At a late hour last night the Assoc
ciated Press learned upon excellent
authority that the principal provision
of the budget, the treasury loan OF
G32 100000, upon which Sir Michael
Hicks Beach was remarkably reticent,
has a serious bearing upon the peace
question. <There appears to be a very
strong belief in the cabinet that, ow-
ing to the expected early termina-
ton of the war G32,0O0,000 will never
be needed. When that section of the
budget gets to the committee stage
peace negotiations probably will have
reached such shape that Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach will be able to announce
a diminution of yesterdays estimate.
In concluding his remarks on the
budget in the house of commons yes
terday, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach sa1o
he feared that the duty on grain woulo
arouse prejudices strong and deep
and that the cry of taxing the food OF
the people would once more be raised
but he was convinced that by no other
form Of indirect taxation could sc
much money by any possibility be
found and with so little effect on the
article on which it was imposed, ano
with so little injury to the trade and
commerce of the country.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt
QiberaD was the next speaker. He
corroborated the view expressed by
the chancellor of the exchequer thai
the duty on wheat would meet with
strong objection Anls taxation OF the
peoples food, he said, would bring
home to the people the lesson of the
war.

GOVERNMENT DECLINES TO

AND TROUBLE MAY FOLLOW
Unless King Leopold OVer-rides Min

Gus Observation-Disclosures Suffrage
Demanded.

Brussels, April 16.-The government
has formally declined to yield on the
question of revision, and unless King
Leopold should override the ministry
there seems to be nothing to prevent
the development of a serious situa
ton. In the chamber of deputies yes
terday afternoon, M. Neujean present
ed a manifesto in behalf of the
liberal members demanding a dis
solution in order to enable the cOun'
try to pronounce on the revision
question. This manifesto pointed out
that the time was critical and the
country threatened with civil war and
for the government to consent to a
loyal and constitutional settlement
could not be represented as surren-
der to popular disorder. ;.
To this challenge Premier Smet De
Mayer replied briefly by declaring the
right of dissolution rested with the
king. He added he felt it his duty to
warn parliament against rumors OF
government concessions. Today the
socialist members will present de-
mand for universal suffrage.
This will inevitably be defeated and
it is feared the defeat will lead to
trouble, particularly in the provinces.
