 Mr Pettus-Mr Chairman, [ think there ought to be some mode of having these notes revised
 The charman--That will be done. Mr Pettus-The report of the pro- eeedings should be submitted to Gener- al Miles With permission to strike out such portions as ought not to be pub lisLed.
 MT. Proctor-That is it.
 General Miles-T don't know that there is anything to be stricken out The charnan-We have been in the habit of submitting to the witness be fore the committee, whoever he was, the stenographers report of his re- marks for correction, of course.
 
 MT Pettus-T wanted to go further than that. The stenographer has no doubt taken down correctly what the general has said, but there are some things that he said which he may desire to strike out, and I think he should be allowed that privilege.
 The chairman-He must be the judge of that.

BOER MOVEMENT FOR PEACE
SH4Lh-B BURGER BELIEYED TO
 HATE BTHOREIY.
Opinion of Well Informed Persons at The Hague-Boer Government Could Not Have Proceeded to Orange Rtver Consent Kitchener in His Weekly Report Says Nothing of the Incident

The Hague, March 24.-Regarding the fears expressed in the British press thai the Boer generals would not be inclined to recognize the authority of the civil
 government of the South African re-
 publics in case the latter decided to
 open peace negotiations, well-inforned
 persons here declare that such appre- hension is unfounded. They point out
 that the Boer civil and military author
 harmony and that MT. Shalk- Burger
 and the government could not have
 proceeded to the Orange Rivor Colony via Middleburg and Pretoria without at least the consent of General Botha.
 In conclusion it is said that the final decision as to whether serious peace overtures shall be made rests entirely in the hands of the burg hers, who will have to decide upon it at a public meet ing.
 MT Kruger has not yet received any telegraphic advices from South Africa, nor has the Transvaal legation. But they undoubtedly will receive advices in the event of the leaders finding work able basis for peace terms
 Amsterdam, March 24.-It is believed in Boer circles here that the move of Acting President Shalk- Burger is the result of a communication from the Boer representatives in Europe. A for mer member of the Transvaal govern ment said tonight:
 After the exchange of the Dutch English notes conference was called for February This conference was at tended by MT. Kruger, Dr. Leyds and the delegates, and it was decided to send six enissaries to South Africa by different routes. with dispatches for Steyn and Shalk- Burger, giving them detailed account of tile situation. One If these agents should have arrived about this time. Documents lately re- ceived from Shalk- Burger indicated that that peace had been recently dis cussed by the leaders in South Africa, but the leaders declared they could not accept anything less than the terms de- manded at Middleburg (hy General Botha, February 2S, 1901), and especial ly the point of complete amnesty for Cape rebels. because the greater part of the commanders actually in arms are of Cape insurgents.
 'The fact that the Boers in the field are inclined to compromise their de- mands for absolute independence. con tinued the speaker, seems to be indi- rated by the plan Shalk- Burger has outlined for the government of indus 1 trial centers. This consists of British board of administration. with propor- donate Boer representation"

BIG GAMES TO-DAY,
Many Stirring Football Con.
tests in Virginia and
Elsewhere Promised.

To-day is a red letter day in the foot
ball world. In this city. at the Broad
Street Park at o'clock, the well match
ed teams of the Hampden- Sidney and
Richmond College will meet In their an
nual battle on the gridiron. It is a case
Of Presbyterian VS.. Baptist in q pushing
match. This game should be a fine one.
The teams are Of practically equal
strength, and the result is in great
doubt. with shade the advantage in
Richmonds favor, perhaps. It's any
body'S games, if scores heretofore made
mean anything.
At Charlottesville the University Of
Virginia will have hands and arms full
beating the dashing Virginia Polytechnic
Institute team, and If they succeed in
doing so at all. it sill be an agreeable
surprise to some Of their warm adherents.
This. too, promises to be anybody S
game. Neither team will win by more
than two touch-downs
At Norfolk the University Of North
Carolina will go up against the lads from
Georgetown University. 1t will be white
and blue VS.. blue and gray, with the
chances slightly favoring the CarolinianS.
Georgetown may be confidently expected
TO make a stronger showing than against
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, which re-
Gently played Carolina to a standstil.
The greater contest of the year, per-
hapS, unless the game between Yale and
Harvard be excepted. is that to be play
ed at Princeton to-day between the
Princeton and Yale teams. or Nassau VS..
Eli, as the teams are popularity known.
The Tigers and the men in%blue are APP
parently we'll matched. with the odds
in Princeton's favor, perhaps, if there
be any advantage in very even thing.
Certainly Princeton has the best chance
this year it has had In many years TO
beat Yale The Tigers great kicker, De-
witt, will almost certainly play a star
role in the game.
The game between Lafayette and Cor
nell will be the next game to create great
interest among the northern colleges.
Cornell should win. though it will be no

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF Il New Catarrh Cure.

4 large and constantly increasing ma
jority of the American people are catarrh
sufferers. This is not entirely the result
Of our changcable climate, but becaus.
modern investigation has clearly proven
that many diseases known by other
names, are really catarrh. Formerly the
name catarrh was applied almost exclu-
sively to the common nasal catarrh. but
he throat, stomach, liver. bladder, kid
:.eys. and intestines are subject to ca
.arrhal diseases as Well as the nasal pas
iages.
In fact wherever there is mucous mem
brane there is Il feeding ground for ca
tarrf.
The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays,
douchcs. or powders, have been practical
y. failures, a S far as anything more than
temporary relief was concerned because
they simply dry up the mucous secretions,
without having the renotest effect upon
the blood and liver, which are the real
sources Of catarrhal diseases.
1t has been known for some years that
the radical cure of catarrh could never
come from local applications. but from an
internal remedy. acting on the blood and
expelling the catarrhal poison from the
system.
A new internal preparation which has
been on the market only a short time.
has met with remarkable success as !.
genuine, radical cure for catarrh.
1t may be found in any drugstore, sold
under the name of Stuar.s Catarrh Tab
'ets, large. pleasant ta.ting. lozenges,
composed principally Of antiseptic ingre-
dents. Bloodroot Red Gum, and similar
scatarrh specifics.
DR.. Ainslee, In speaking Of the new
cata-rh cure says: II have tried the new
catarril remedy. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
upon thirty or forty patients with re-
markable satisfactory results. They clear
the head and throat more effectually and
lnstlnglv than any douche or inhaler thar
have ever seen and although they are
what is called a patent medicine and sold
by druggists. I do not hesitate to recon-
mend them as ! know them to be free
from cocaine and opiates. and that even
little child may use ti1tin with entire
safety"
Any sufferer from nasal catarrh, throat,
or bronchial trouble. catarrh of the
stomach. liver, or bladder will find Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets remarka bly, effer-
tive. pleasant, and convenient. and your
druggist will tell YOU they are absolutely
free from any injurious drug
