PEACE HOPES WEAK.
More is Expected From Fighting
Than From Talking.

Pretoria. Wedr esday. April Com
munications have passed between Pres
ident 'Steyn and the Transvaal mission
at Kroonstad but nothing is yet known
of the result. The majority of the mil
itary men and civilians here expect
more from the continual pressure of
the troops than from the present negoti-
atoms. It is pointed out that once be-
fore when hard pressed the Transvaal-
ers showed a desire for peace, but this
was promptly over-ridden by President
Steyn. Nothing in the present situa-
ton so far as known indicates that
President Steyn is less irreconcila-
BILE than previously. Indeed, the known
facts seem to point to a greater deter
mination to continue the struggle.
TRAFFIC CLOSED.
Durham, Natal April General traf-
fic is closed throughout the whole coun-
try north of the Tugela river. The re-
gion is stoutly protected by lines of
block houses, extending from I.adysmith.
Permits are required to enable people to
proceed beyond Colenso. The town
guards at Ladysmith, Dundee and New
castle are under arms and have been
recruited to their full strength.

ROCK ISLAND HAS 1T.
Reported Purchase of Colorado South
ern is Confirmed.

Denver, Col. April S.-The News to-
day says:
Speaking of the recent sale of the Col
orado & Southern railway, a Denver
man who claimed to have his informa-
ton from officials of the Colorado &
Southern said: 1T is true that control
of the Colorado & Southern has been
purchased by persons acting in the in
terest of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific road The proposed increase of
SIS, 000, 600 in the capital of that road on
June 4 is for the purpose of extending
the Clear Creek branch of the Colora do
& Southern across the range, through
Middle Park and Routt county this es-
tablfshing an air line from Denver to
Salt Lake The branch win leave the
Clear Creek road near Empire and
cross the range near Georgetown.
Part of the understanding is that
the Colorado & Southern will dispose

land, presumably to the Denver & Rio
Grande. The extension viii be built by

The News also hints at the probable
ity of triple alliance having been
formed between the Colorado & South
ern, the Rock Island and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, the latter con-
Germ being particularly interested in the
coal and iron deposits of northwestern
Colorado, through which the proposed
extension of the Colorado & Northern
will pass on its way to Salt Lake.

TROUTMAN'S FIGURES.
Says Bailey Has Only so In
structed Delegates.

James A. Troutman gave out the fol-
lowing statement of the gubernatorial
situation from his point of view while
in Kansas City last night:
Up to this time 1 have refrained
from any public expression but I know
the exaggerated character of the reports
constantly made in Mr.. Bailey's inter
est and feel justified in stating what I
believe to be the facts. am confident
that 1 viii be nominated for governor
a the Wichita. convention
THE Bailey forces have well organ
lied and system attic press bureau and
have been issuing fancfful proclama-
tons greatly exaggerating his strength
The fact is that Bailey has a majority
of the delegates from the Fifth and Sew
enth congressional districts, but he has
under any circumstances, a majority
of the delegates in any of the five other
congressional districts.
1.-The Bailey forces have importuned
conventions for instructions. There are
but so delegates instructed for him up
to date and there are 4S instructed for
me. There are % candidates for other
state Offices. coming from counties which
will have 3S4 delegates in the conven-
ton. It is fair to assume that a candi-
date for governor who has a united and
aggressive delegation of 80 at his com
mand, will receive at least his share of
votes from these counties.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Bailey's claims
there are not today more than so votes
between the Bailey supporters and
mine. The contest is rapidly narrowing
down TO Mr.. Bailey and myself, and
that in my judgment, viii be the issue
at the Wichita convention. There are
1874 delegates yet to be elected and three
fourths of them will be for me when the
contest is narrowed down to the two
candidates."

A FEARFUL BABY
Wanted to Write a Letter.

A man dame upon his little girl in a
grevious and fearful condition, because
she had been restricted in her allow

Il am little at home and / hardly un-
ticular food should excite her grief but
upon inquiry discovered that she had
taken such a decided fancy to it that
she was refusing meat and almost
every other kind Of food.
Since she has been using Grape Nuts
a serious condition of constipation of
the bowels has been changed to thor
oughly normal condition. and her flesh
is as solid as a rock.
I quieted her grief by agreeing to
let her write a letter, OF I would write
if she would tell me what to say, SO
here it is: My Dear Mr.. Grape-Nuts:
Mamma viii not give me all the Grape
Nuts I want. She says must eat some
beef, and I don't like it; I just like
Grape-Nuts better than anything else,
with cream on them. Mamma used to
soak them in water, but now I just eat

mamma would give me more. am six

House. Burton denies that he ever told
Calderhead he had dropped the fight on
Leland There the matter stopped for
some time. but with the coming Of
Henry c. Payne as postmaster general
Burton made an attempt to secure the
scalp of Joseph L BristOw. fourth as
sistant postmaster general. He had
previously made the attempt when Mr.
Mckinley was president, and Charles
Emory Smith was postmaster general.
Neither Mckinley nor Smith would
listen to Burton. With the coming of
Payne, Burton made a desperate
charge. Calderhead on his own motion
also visited Payne and told him the
fight against BristOW was personal
with Burton, and that Bristow was
popular with Kansas Republicans.
Truth is, majority Of the Kansas
delegation think Buttons Kansas in
1uence is on the wane."

USE OF ATHLETIC FIELD.
Washburn Students and Trustees
Divide Over Leasing It.

The board of trustees of Washburn
college is opposed to the plan of rent
ing the athletic park west of the col
lege for the use of a professional base
ball team here this summer, ana the
students and faculty are in favor of
the plan. Consequently it is apparent
there will be a contention before the
matter is finally settled
The junior class, the one that has
met all the bills in fixing up the park,
is in favor of allowing the league team
the use of the park, for thereby they
will gain new grandstand to be erect

pletion of the line of bleeehers. with
out cost to themselves They contend
that such an arrangement can not be
considered as a rental of the property

OUT WITH BURTON.
Reported That All Kansas Congress-
men Dislike the Senator.

men O1S11k6 the senator.
A Washington dispatch to a Kansas
City paper is authority for the state
ment that nearly every Kansas con-
gresham is at outs with Senator Bur
ton, with the exception of Congressman
Miller. It dWells especially upon the
trouble between Mr.. Burton and Con-
gresham CaIderhead which was
brought to head by Calderhead's re-
fusal to use his influence to stop the
Bailey stampede in the Fifth district.
This may have some effect upon the
craftsmanship Of the Fifth district con-
gressional committee Some time ago
Mr. Calderhead desired the reelection
of Chairman Case. but If he and SEN
atOr Burton are at swords points he
may have changed his mind, as Mr..
Case is Mr.. Buttons right-hand man
in the Fifth district.
Concerning the trouble between Bur

THE Burton row is of
old standing, but it has reached a point
where each avoids the other Just be-

was heated language, and Calderhead

he left the senate because he feared
there would be another Tillman-Mc-

OLD SCHEDULE REVISED.
Firemen on the Erie to Get an In
crease in WAGES.

New York. April 3.-The wage sched-
ule under which the firemen of the
Erie railroad have worked practically
vised at a series of conferences be-
tween officials of the road and a dele
cation of the men. At the Office of
the company it was said today that
concessions had been made to the men
which would materially increase their
pay. The differences have not all been
adjusted, but one of the officials said
that there was no friction over the new
schedule and that it would be finally
agreed upon without much more delay
and under conditions that would be
satisfactory to both sides. The exact
amount of increase in wages has not
been determined.
