WAR MAY
SOON END
The Beers Seek
ing Honorable
Peace.

LONDON, April Is. Government
Leader a ]. Baifour in the House OF
Commons today made the following inn
portant statement:
After two conferences between LORD
Miner. the British High Commissioner
in South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and the Boer delegates at Pretoria
Lord Kitchener while refusing TO grant
an armistice. on military grounds, has
agreed 10 give facilities for the election
and meeting OF representatives OF the
various commands to consider the STU
alton. The Boer leaders have there
fore left Pretoria to carry out TINS
plan
Mr.. Balfour added that it was not ex-
pected that communication between
British authorities and the Boer lead
ers could be resumed in less than three
weeks.
MI Balfour's statement made gen
orally favorable impression. 1t was ar
gued among the members that the
action of the Boer leaders demonstrates
that at any rate majority OF the DEL
egates favor the acceptance or the sus
gested British peace terms. The SUD-
mission of the question to plebisclte
OF the burghers is according to Boer
law. which requires the leaoers OF
armed forces in the field to take the
opinion of their followers before con-
Guiding peace.
LONDON. April 1s.-The DAT, Mail
claims to have assurance that terms OF
peace have been agreed on at Pretoria
but that some time VIII have to elapse
before full contamination o. the
agreement will be reached. for the prin-
cipal reason that all matters OF this
character have to be referred, accord
ing to Boer usages, to the electorate
for endorsement The paper goes on to
say that upon learning on wednesday
that the British Government had re-
fused to modify its demand in regard
to amnesty, Punishment and responsi-
BILE government the Boer delegates held
another meeting on Thursday
The British demand gave the Beers
the alternative OF accepting the terms
proposed or breaking up the confer
ence. When the matter was presented
in this light the delegates OF the repub-
lies seemed TO be more reasonable. The
offer OF Lord Miner. British Commits
sioner in South Africa, to allow the
Beers one or two seats in the executive
council had a good effect.
Lord Miner has summoned from Jo-
hannesburg an Australian expert to es-
innate the cost of rebuilding and re-
stocking the Boer farms.
DR.. Hans Sauer. speaking at Brad
ford tonight said that he believed the
Beers would offer to accept G50.000.000
TO 0.0O0. 900 from Great Britain and
clear out of South Africa altogether.
The Beers demand a representative
government. and this demand has been
steadfastly denied by Lord Miner.

RAIIROAD ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday, just after the noon
hour, as engine No. 13, with Engineer
Bristol in charge, had crossed the bridge
spanning Packard gulch. it was thrown
from the track. The train consisted OF
five freight cars and one flat car loaded
with lumber. The car load OF lumber
which was next to the tender, jumped
the track, throwing the tender and en-
gine oil the track. The tender to the
engine was badly smashed, the greatest
wonder being that it did not go down
over the embankment. A wrecking train
and crew vas sent here and the track
cleared in time for the evening passen-
ger train to arrive in this city. The at
ternoon train left on time from Black
Hawk. The next morning engine No. Ii
was pulled down to Denver and placed

street parade, prize drills, running, jump
