Beers NOT SEEKING PEACE.
But DIR. Leyd's Conference With
BOer Delegates May Mean Some
thing.

London, JAN 1S.-Dr. Leyds, the
representative in Europe of the Trans
vaal, according to a dispatch from
Amsterdam to Reuters Telegram Com
pany, had a conference to-day with
the Boer delegation at The Hague at
the house of Mr.. Wolmorans. No
official statement has been given out,
but there is the best authority for
asserting that the conference was
merely a periodical meeting.
The dispatch says the reports of a
strong peace movement are ridiculed
by the Beers themselves, who say that
such stories are simply fabricated by
British agents, with a view to British
publication, subsequently turning them
to advantage in South Africa. The
Beers deny that any negotiations are
in progress.
DR.. Leyds left tonight for Utrecht.

GERMAN DIRECTORS COMING.
Morgan May Have a Big Pool on In

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The announcement
that Director Ballin of the Hamburg
American Steamship Line, and Director
Wiegand of the North German Lloyd

much conjecture as to the object OF
their trip. The most generally accept
ed theory is that 1T refers to pooling
arrangements with the United States
lines. Both Herr Balm and Herr
wiegand are reticent on the subject.
The Lokal Anziger says II learns
that the object of Herr Balm and Herr
Wiegand's trip is to participate in the
