LONDON IN SUSPENSE
Possibilities of Peace Consid- cred With Growing Hope.
CONFERENCES OF BRITISH LEADERS.
Authentic Statements Not Obtains bIe, but It Is Believed That the Government Has Received
 Important News.

LONDON, April 14.-The announce ment Of the presence at Pretoria of the Orange Free State and Transvaal lead CTS and generals who have been at klerksdorp considering terms of peace 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 MT. 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.
 A conference of members of the cabi- net was held at midnight in MT. Cham berlain's house. Mir. Chamberlain, NIT. Brodrick, the war secretary; Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer, and the Duke of Devon shire, president of the council, were present. The conference terminated at l o'clock a. m. Yesterday MT. Cham berlain and several of the colonial of flee officials were in their offices. Mes sengers passed between them and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach at his residence.
 At 1.30 in the afternoon Mir. Cham berlain drove to Buckingham palace and remained with King Edward for two hours. During the afternoon mes sengers carried dispatches from the foreign office to Lord Salisbury, who, with MT. Balfour, the government lead CT in the house of commons, was at Hatfield House.
 These outward signs of Sunday ac- tivity have not been supplemented by any authentic or official statement. The question most discussed thus far has been whether the peace negotia- tions would affect the governments financial proposals, which promise to be submitted to parliament today. The fact that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach was engaged in his office most all day is taken in some quarters to indicate modification of the budget statement.
 There appears to be no doubt that the Boer leaders have communicated the results of their deliberations to Lord Kitchener Attempts will be made in parliament today to draw out what in- formation the government has on the South African situation and to learn its intentions, but it is not expected that the government can forecast the probable outcome of the negotiations. Whatever instructions have been sent to Lord Kitchener are believed to be only provisional i'll character.

The "Momohiki."

The police of Tokyo, Japan, have established certain regulations for, wheelmen. Riders must not remove both hands from the bars at once; must not use low-dropped handle bars; and must not indulge in trick riding in the streets. No person un- der 12 is permitted to ride in the streets, and the police may stop the cyclists whenever they think neces- sary. Lady cyclers are enjoined when riding in public to .'wear the 'hakama' or the 'momohiki.' or coverings of similar nature. The "hakama'' is a skirt, and ''momohiki'' is Japanese for nationals" or "bloomers.'' No doubt, if ''momohiki"-a graceful word with just suggestion of flip pancy about it-had been adopted by us instead of ''rationals' or ''bloom- ers," momohiki would now be the uni yersal wear of cycling girls.-Detroit Free Press.

Prejudice Against Insurance.

TEsre is still prejudice against life assurance among certain classes of re-! iigious people, on the ground that such provision betrays a lack of trust in Providence. Such assumption is theI basis of blazing pamphlet which has just reached us, in which the author argues from three texts in the Sermon on the Mount. that the principles of life assurance .comes from the father of lies-the arch fiend-who delights to get Gods people off the right lines by trying to make out that God is liar" He says: Twill God lock after your family after you are dead?" eve can Bot reproduce the pamphlets variety of print.) Of course, the same argument would prove the wickedness of ali in yestments-even of the laying in of coal against the winter. And general experience has shown that Providence does not interpose miracles to save the idle and carless from the consequences of their folly, even when those conse- quences have to be borne by others s weQ.-London Chronicle.
