BASIS FOR PEACE
SAID TO HAVE BEEN AGREED
UPON.
London Daily Mail Cl'ims Authority to An.
nOunce a Practical Settlement Of the Main
lssues-But There Are Some Details Which
May Cause Trouble Later-Opinion Of DR..
Hans Sauer.

London, April 1S.-The Daily Mail
claims to have authority to announce
that bases of peace have been,practically
agreed upon at Pretoria, but says that
some little time will elapse before the
plan can be perfected.
The paper adds that upon finding that
the British government refused Wednes-
day to modify its terms with regard
to amnesty, banislmen, and RESPONSE.
BILE government, the Boer delegates met
again on Thursday.
The British decision practically leav-
ing them the alternative of accepting the
British terms or breaking up the confer
ence was then communicated to them,
and the delegates proved more reasona-
BILE.
When Lord Miner, the British high
commissioner in South Africa, promised
the delegates one or two seats in the ex-
ecutive council, subject to the approval
OF the government. and pending the
restoration of responsible government,
they practically agreed to accept the
British terms.
Some details, continues the Daily
Mail, which are likely to create difficulty
still remain to be settled.
Lord Miner has summoned from
Johannesburg an Australian expert,
who is to assist in estimating the cost of
rebuilding and restocking the Boer
farms. The delegates, concludes the
paper, have so far acted quite independ.
emily OF their representatives in Holland.
DIR. Hans Sauer, a loyalist Afrikander
speaking at Bradford was not optimistic
concerning the peace negotiations. He
said he thought it quite probable that
the Beers would ask Great Britain for
$4,000, 900 or EGO, 900 600, and agree in
return to clear out of South Africa
altogether.
London, April 1.-THE British cabinet
had another meeting yesterday for the
purpose of considering communication
from the Boer representatives who are
now at Pretoria, and message from Lord
Miner, the British High Commissioner
in South Africa. The session was ex-
tremely brief.
After the cabinet meeting Lord Sails
bury, the premier, had an audience with
King Edwrrd at Buckingham Palace and
stayed to lunch with his majesty. The
latter afterward went to Sandringham.
Later it was asserted that the commu-
nication from Lord Miner, considered at
the cabinet meeting, contained the first
clear statement of the attitude of the
Boer leaders, who had not hitherto agreed
on the peace terms they would accept.
The st. James Gazette predicts an
early public announcement OF the prog.
ress of peace negotiations. The paper
says there is little doubt that if the Brit.
ish and Beers arrive at an understand
ing on the main points of the proposals,
peace will ensue, the Punishment procla-
nation will be withdrawn and minor
points, like restocking the farms, will be
referred to a board composed of British
and Boer representatives.

PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT.
It Will Be One Of the Big Features Of the
St. Louis Exposition.

St. Louis, April 1S.-As result OF Gov.
Taft's conference will the executive
committee of the Worlds Fair, he has
induced that body to cooperate finan-
c!ially with the Philippine government
i'll the matter of it's exhibit. He de-
clared to the committee that its action
would have a pronounced moral effect
on the Filipino people and would do
more toward pacitication than repressive
military methods.
The executive committee unanimously
agreed to assume a proportion of the ex-
pense entailed by the governor general
plan. On his return to Washington he
will submit the agreement to Secretary
Root for approval.
The exact sum appropriated by the
exposition company toward the insular
exhibit will not be known until after the
approval of the secretary of war.
The agreement means that the Philip
pine display is intended to be the SUI
preme feature of the Worlds Fair.

A SLOW PROCESS.
Cooling of the Earth as Relating to the
Length of the Day.

Cooling of the Earth as Relating to the
Length of the Day.
Profess r Woodward, in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, has lately given
an account of his researches on the
progressive cooling of the earth and it's
relation to the length of the day. Does
the length of the day vary? Was it
formerly shorter than now? Will it, in
the future. be heightened? The an
swer depends upon the mass of the
earth. which varies. since meteoric
and thus increases the quantity of
matter; and on its volume, which be-
comes smaller as the mass Is progress
sively cooled. Laplace concluded from
the data at his disposition that there
had been no sensibre change in the
length of the day for 1000 years.
Woodward has repeated his calcula-
ton with new data, and concludes that
the duration of the day has not chang
ed as much as half second during
the first 100000 years after the be-
ginning OF qualification of the earth's
material. When the cooling of the
earth finally reaches its term the
change will be marked Professor
Woodward's result is that the ratio of
the change of the day to its initial
length is two-thirds of the product of
the loss of temperature multiplied by
its cubicai contraction. For example.
if the primitive temperature of the
earth was 5000 deg. c. and if its cubi-
cal contraction was that of iron the day
will be finally reduced about 6 per
cent-that is to say, by about an hour

Olympia, April 1s.-The supreme
court has decreed that the 1915 900, 20
years, four per cent. bonds, voted by the
Seattle school district last November,
were legally issued. The case came be-
fore the supreme court on the appeal of
Edward j. Parkinson, who, as a tax.
payer, was seeking to en- join the issuance
of the bonds to the successful bidders,
Thompson, Tenny 4 Crawford Company,
of Chicago. The chief contention of the
appellant was that the election at which
the bonds were authorized was invalid
because the notice thereof arbitrarily
fixed the rate OF interest at four per cent.
instead of leaving it opepAto competition.
The court held that the law did not re-
quire the matter of interest to be sub
mit,ed to the electors.
Olympia, April l6.-In reply to ques-
ton regarding the completion of the cap
itol, Governor Mcbride expressed him
self as confident that it will still be pos
sible to complete the structure in time
for its occupation by the next legislature.
Governor Mcbride says that the con-
tract for the steel roof construction has
been let also for the other steel and iron
work, with the exception of electric wir.
ing, and if these contractors are speedy
in sending the supplies from the eastern
factories he still hopes that the next
legislature may meet in its own building
Adjutant General Drain has made a
requi.tion upon the national govern
ment for white marble tombstones to

Volunteers inferred at Olympia. There
is national law to the effect that
soldiers graves shall be marked at the
expense of the United States government
