WtLHELMfNA,s ILLNESS.
Great Anxiety Among All Classes If
 Holland.


 Great Anxiety Among All Glasses h
 Holland.
 AMSTERDAM, April 1S.--All classes of the population are deeply grieved at the illness of Queen Wilhelmina. Prince Henry Of the Netherlands, the prince consort, is overwhelmed with anxiety and hardly leaves the queens bedside. The queen mother is also in constant attendance upon the royal patient. Whenever her majesty en- joys peaceful sleep Prince Henry busi- ly occupies himself in replying person ally to the numerous telegrams which are constantly arriving from European sovereigns and courts.
 Dr. Roessings, one of the queens attending physicians, is staying per- manently at the palace. Her majesty's temperature at one time reached the alarming height of 1o4 degrees, but the departure from the palace of Pro- lessor Rosenstein, the pathologist of Leyden university, who had been sum- moned in consultation, is considered to be hopeful sign that the crisis Is past.
 It is reported that Queen Wilhelmina caught cold recently while sitting in the park, which was against the ad- vice of Dr. Roessings. It is also said that living at Castle Loo does not seem to agree with her majesty.
 The illness of Queen Wilhelmina is q universal topic throughout the coun- try, and the various public bodies have expressed sympathy for the queen and their hopes for her recovery.

NOBODY STOOD UP.

Old street car conductors sometimes have a great deal Of trouble with their 'under-studies." It is the custom of the Indianapolis company to break in" new men by sending them out over the lines with experienced employees
 who have been long in the service. This is done in order to train the uew men to act as substitutes or ''extras.' 2 Recently Brighton line conductor dad one of the new men in charge On !he first trip the beginner was shown how to collect fares. how the rod connecting with the indicator should be manipu- lated to show q ticket, how it should be worked to indicate cash fare and how the trip reports should be made out. in the meantime teaching him the names of the streets and when to call them. On the next trip the understudy thought he had learned his part so well he asked permission to run the car himself under supervision. The old conductor watched the new man collect the fares and saw that he missed number. When he returned to the rear of the car he was informed that he was five short; there were thirty passengers and he had collected only twenty-five fares. Without waiting for further ad- vice the new man put his head in She door of the car and shouted:
 All who have not paid their fares wil please stand up.a
 Not q passenger moved. Perhaps they were too amazed-probably ns much astonished as the old conductor. The silence was becoming almost pain- full Finally the suburbanite nudyed his neighbor and asked him why Ee didn't stand up.
 Cant lie," was the reply. I'm hon. est. Paid by fare"
 By this time the humor of the situ- ation began to dawn on the other pas sengers. The men laughed and rhe women smiled-all except five girls in the front part of the ear who were 50 busy talking they had not heard the new conductors "stand-up'' order nor witnessed what followed. One Of the girls had q bunch of transfer tickets partly concealed in glove The old conductor knew where the missing fares were and had intended to tell tie new man, but the latter did not give him time. The incident was ended by the old conductor walking to the talka. tive girls and saying. Fares. please as if nothing had happened The traIs- fers were surrendered without the girls knowing an attempt had been made to introduce an innovation in street car ethics.-lndianapolis Journal

NEWBURG, N. Y, April 1S.--While Governor Odell,s young son, Benjamin Bryant Odell, was riding here yester
 day the horse slipped and fell, and the boys right leg was broken between the knee and ankle. He was conveyed to the home of his grandfather, where the bone was set by Drs. Gleason and Howell. The governor was here at the time, having come from Albany in the morning. It is not yet known what ef- feet this accident will have upon the governors s projected southern and west ern trip. Bryant, who is aged fifteen, was taking his horse to the boat to ship him to West Point, there to leave him until the return of the family from the expected journey. He bravely bore the pain of setting the injured limb.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Conflicting Reports Regarding
 Conference at Pretoria.

One Report Says the Desired Results Are Nearing Attainment, While From Other Sources Come Sto-

~~-~~A~~~N-~~~
 From Other Sources Come Sto-
 ries of Serious Differences.
 LONDON, April 1S U Dr. Hans Sauer, Loyalist Afrikander, speaking at Bradford last night, was not op- timistic concerning the peace negotia- tions. He said he thought it quite probable that the Boers would ask Great Britain for f5O,OOo, GOO or f90,- 100000 and agree in return to clear out of South Africa altogether
 The Daily Mail claims to have au- thority to announce that bases of peace have been practically agreed upon at Pretoria, but says that some little time will elapse before the details of the plan can be perfected. The paper adds that upon finding that the British gov ernment refused on Wednesday to mod fly it's terms with regard to amnesty, punishment and responsible govern ment the Boer delegates met again on Thursday. The British decision, prac- tically leaving them the alternative of accepting the British terms or break ing up the conference, was then com municated to them, and the delegates pEONGO MuCll uCIe IGdSOuuUlC.
 When Lord Milner, the British high commissioner in South Africa, promis- ed the delegates one or two seats on the executive council, subject to the appro- val of the government and pending the restoration of a responsible govern ment, they practically agreed to accept the British terms.
 Some details, continues The Daily Mail, which are not likely to create diff ficulty still remain to be settled.
 Lord Milner has summoned from Jo- hannesburg an Australian expert, who is to assist in estimating the cost of re- building and restocking the Boer farms.
 King Edward himself is taking a very active part in the efforts to end the war in South Africa, and it is ad- mitted today that he is insisting upon peace being brought about; if possible at all, before the present negotiations end.
 The king wants to end the war before his coronation and is consulting his ministry daily upon every phase of the negotiations.
 Serious differences, 1t is said, have arisen between the Transvaal and Free State delegations who are dis cussing peace terms at Pretoria. Gen. eral Botha and Acting President Schalkburger, it is reported, have given the Free State representative until April 21 to come to a decision, threatening that thereafter the Trans vaal delegation will continue the peace negotiations independently of the Free State delegates.
