the demonstration this afternoon was

During the short time today the pub

Sequel to a Murder Confession.

New York. April l4.--As a sequel Of
the confession Of Leonard Robinson,
the l4-year-old schoolboy that he had
plotted to murder his playmate, Jessie
Dones an appeal probably will be made
to the governor to prevent the carrying
out Of the agreement. The lad was
hanished to a lonely hut overlooking
Shinnecock bay, l.. l., IS miles from
his home and Is TO remain there three
years. The boy spends his time clam
ming and duck shooting.
There Is no law, II is admitted by
those who were interested in the case
for such a punishment. II was simply
q concession made by the father OF
the girl he plotted to assassinate, when
the bays father and mother begged
that he would not push the case and
send their son to a reformatory or a
lunatic asylum. The compromise" was
reached out Of court and Judge Conk-
lin consented 10 the remarkable ar
rangement. The boy has become tired
Of his part In the agreement and yio-
lated It by visiting his mother He
was severely reprimanded by the au-
thorities and was hurried back to HIS

Germany,s Colonies Expensive,

New York, April 1i-Germanys ef-
forts to extend and open up colonies
are not very successful from a financial
point Of view, says q London dispatch
TO the Tribune. The total annual
revenue Of the eight protectorates,
which are under the rule OF the ~Siser
Is only $1,000. 900, and the reictstag has
10 vote $500 600 to support them. Kiao
Chau's revenue Is $4,000. and subsidy
of 100000 is required to make both
ends meet Again the revenue OF the
protectorate of southwest Africa
amounts to $4,000, while the total sum
required for its government Is 1900 600.
But even these yearly subsidies do not
always represent the full amounts that
have TO be provided out Of the i'm
perial funds The estimates for the
present year include the sum OF $780,
600 20 cover deficits that occurred in
1895 and 1899 in the budgets Of the pro-
tectorates OF East Africa. the Cam
eroons and Southwest Africa.

BRITISH CABINET
MEETING.

London, April lS.--The announce
ment Of the presence at Pretoria Of the
Orange Free State and Transyaal lead
ers and generals who have been at
klerksdorp considering terms Of peace,
has caused decided increase in the
hopefulness of the public concerning
the possibilities Of peace.
The expectations aroused by the con-
ference at Pretoria have been further
heightened by the movements of Mr.
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
and other members Of the cabinet in
London, and evidences that important
dispatches are passing between Lord
Kitchener and the government.
conference OF members Of the
cabinet was held last night at mid
nigh, in Mr.. Chamberaln's house. Mr..
Chamberlain, Mr., Brodrick, the war
secretary; Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the chancellor Of the eXchequer, and
the Duke Of DevOnshire president Of
the council, were present. The con
ference terminated at / o'clock this
morning, and today Mr. Chamberlain
and several Of the colonial officials
were in their offices Messengers
passed between them and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach at his residence.
At 1880 this afternoon Mr.. Chamber
lain drove to Buckingham palace and
remained with King Edward for two
hours
During the afternoon messengers
carried dispatches from the foreign Of
fee to Lord Salisbury, who, with Mr..
Balfour, the government leader In the
house of commons, was at Hatfield
house.
These outward signs Of Sunday ac-
tivity have not been supplemented By
an authentic or official statement. The
question most discussed thus far has
been whether the peace negotiations
would affect the governments finan-
cial proposals. which promise 20 be
submitted TO parliament tomorrow. The
fact that Sir Michael Hicks Beach
was engaged In his office nearly all Of
today Is taken In some quarters to in
dicate a modification OF the budget to-
morrow.
There appears 20 be no doubt that
the Boer leaders have communicated
the results OF their deliberations TO
Lord Kitchener. Attempts win be
made In parliament tomorrow 10 draw
out what information the government
has on the South African situation. and
TO learn its Intentions but Il Is not
expected that the government can
forecast the probable outcome Of the
negotiations, Whatever instructions
have been sent TO Lord Kitchener, they
are believed to be only provisional in
character.
The comparatively brief duration Of
the conference at Klerksdorp is re-
garded ms an indication that the Beers
found little difficulty In agreeing upon
some basis OF negotiation, The trans
fer Of the negotiations TO Pretoria,
where both Lord Kitchener ana Lord
Miner the British high commissioner
In South Africa are at present, is in
terpreted by the morning papers as
