She Therefore Prevailed on Her Cabi-

to Great Britain.
REPLY NOT YET MADE PUBLIC
SALISBURY'S ANSWER HAS BEEN
SENT TO THE NETHERLANDS,
And 1t Is Believed to BE Favorable TO
the Request for Commission
to Visit the Beers.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Daily News Civ
ing the alleged genesis of the proposal from
the government of The Netherlands on the
subject of the South African war, says that
from the first DR.. Kuyper the Dutch prem
Ter, stipulated that he would take no part
in either arbitration or mediation, and ac-
cepted the view that he would have TO
bring pressure to bear on the Boer dele
gates TO persuade them 10 abandon their
demand for independence. He explained his
position to an English visitor, who went to
urge him to take action. This visitor after
wards communicated to Mr.. Chamberlain,
the COLONEL secretary, and to Lord Lans-
downe, the secretary Of state for foreign
affairs, DR.. Kuyper's views and his offer to
become friendly negotiator." Mr.. Cham
berlain courteous!y replied that he in
terested in the proposal, but could not
recognize any approaches unless they were
made directly by the Beers themselves. The
reply of Lord Lansdowne intimated that he
had sent the proposal to Lord Salisbury.
the premier, and that there the matter had
remained until DR.. Kuyper visited London.
The Brussels correspondent of the Stand
ard declares that the peace initiative on the
part of Holland was decided on at the per-
sonal instigation of Queen Wilhelmina in a
Cabinet council at which she presided. The
correspondent says that Mr.. Kruger was
informally and confidentially acquainted
with the proposed step, but declared that he
could not charge the Dutch government
with any mission of peace as long as Great
Britain rejected the idea of Boer independ-
ence.
The Daily Telegraph understands that
the reply of Lord Lansdowne, the secretary
of state for foreign affairs, to the offer of
the Dutch government will take the form
of a courteous assertion that the absence
of any authority for Holland to speak in
the name of either the Beers in the field
or the Boer delegates in Europe and the
lack OF any tangible proposals, render the
offer unserviceable even a basis of
negotiation.
Wiring from The Hague, the correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says that the reply
of Great Britain to the Dutch note has not
yet arrived there, but that ii is believed
this reply will affirm the willingness of
Great Britain that a Dutch commission
proceed to South Africa under certain
stipuations. There is considerable ground
for the belief continues the correspondent,
that Holland obtained assurances of SYM
pathy from the other powers before making
its suggestion to Great Britain.

The Old Stories.

We sing old songs-their melody
Calls up the olden days,
And paints Us pictures Of the past
on which We fondly gaze.
We sing old sOngs-their cadence gives
4 softer light on life
But when old stories strike our ears
We straightway rise in strife.
We hail old friends-we clasp their hands,
And VOW they cheer our sight;
We greet them with true happiness
And comradeship we plight
We hail old friends-we swear the tie
Is one that never ends,
But good old stories We II not hear
Not even from our friends.
We praise old wine-its bubbles smile
As though to echo back
The smiles IL COaXes 10 our lips;
We talk OF good old sack.
We praise old wines-their mellow warmth
Goes tingling through and through;
But those cid stOries-when they start
We call for something new.
We sing old songs; we hail old friends;
We praise OLD wine. why. then,
Let's call the good old stories up
And tell them all again
