Washington. April 13.-Itcv. r. De
Witt Talmage. the noted Presbyterian
clergyman. died ut . o'clock last night
at his residence in this city. 1t had
been evident for some days that there
was no hope of recovery, and the at
tending physicians so Informed the
family. The patient gradually grew
weaker. until life passed away so qui-
etly that even the members of the fam
lily, all of whom Were watching at the
bedside hardly knew thai lie had gone.
The immediate cause of death was in
Illumination of the brain.
Il. De Witt Talmage was born in
Bound Brook. New Jersey. January Z,
1882. He was n member of the class

"A date to be fixed when all prison
ers of war will be returned TO South
Africa. The offices of one or two
friendly powers to be accepted to SUI
perintend the carrying out of the terms
of peace"
OF these. the cardinal point. and the
hardest for Great Britain to concede, is
the granting of amnesty to the cape
rebels. not so much because of British
opposition. but owing to colonial oppo-
sition in South Africa itself. While
there Is no reason to believe that this is
not n semi-otlicial summary of the
Beers demands, there also is reason to
think they may be modified. How
strongly the government shares that
hope may be judged from the fact
that the London police officials today
were ordered to keep large forces in
order to avoid any repetition of 'Alaf-
eking night" which it is feared might
ensue should the conclusion of peace
be announced.
One of the curious features of the
present negotiations is that five of the
Boer representatives secured Il legal
training at the English bar.

difficulty in agreeing upon some basis

Kitchener and Lord Miner, the British

at present. is interpreted by the morn
