LONDON. Jan. 29.-1hc announcement
of Mr. Balfour causes a sensation in the
Hobbies of Parliament. LORD RoSe1ery
is generally credited with having brought
about this move on the part of the Dutch
Government
1t is recalled that DIR. Kuyper. the
Dutch premier in an interview published
about Christmas time, was represented
to have urged the impossihlity OF Hol-
lands intervention in South Africa unless
she had reason to think that both parties
wished it. Consequently it is regarded as
certain that the present movement was
inspired by the Boer delegates.
The Petit tBleu, of Brussels, the organ
Of the Krugerites, atty denied last night
that the Boer delegates had charged any
one TO make peace propositions. and pro
fessed to be in entire ignorance of the
Dutch communication.
The Daily News this morning claims
credit for the initiation Of the peace move
ment This paper says that after LORD
Koseberry's speech at Chesterfield they
sent Dr. Bisschop. who is neither Brlton
nor Boer, on a mission to the Continent
TO invite the Boer delegates to a cohsld-
