Frenchmsn Has a Plan For Ending
the Boer War.

Brussels, Jan. 3.-Count De Turenne,
who holds the grade of minister pleni-
potentiary in the French diplomatic
service, but who has no post at present

for the settlement of the South African
war. The communication excites COM
ment, not only on account of the bold
ness of the diplomat in interfering in
such questions, but from the fact that
the Count De Turenne is related to
prominent English families and at the
same time has been intimately aSsocia-
ted with Mr.. Kruger and the Boer rep
resentatives on the continent The
count asserts that in view of the pres
ent situation he is confident Mr.. Kruger
will accept autonomy for the countries
south of Bechuanaland without any
restriction except the suzerainty of
Great Britain over their relations with
foreign governments

End.

rendered an opinion that the terms of
the present judges of district courts
who are supposed to go out of office
this month, expire at midnight on jan

speculation, however, as none of the
Judges have indicated that they have
any idea of doing such a thing.

 This is good suggestion which should be needed. Let the statehood convention. at Albuquerque be made . joint affair, participated in by the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. One hundred delegates should go from Arizona to this convention. The Review would suggest that both the democratic and republican terri torial conventions in Arizona appoint delegation of fifty each to go to the Albuquerque convention. Let this con. vention be made of such magnitude as will attract attention of the entire country. Invitations should be sent to prominent friends of statehood in all the western states and the press of the country should be appealed to sup plement the work of the statehood con- vention by it's help.
