THE WEEK IN TROlEUM.

Another advance of three cents in credit bal

This is the seventh advance made within the last
two months While the advances have come

tions in the old industry have warranted this up
ward movement and unless conditions change
soon. further advances may be looked for. The
causes are we'll known. The failure TO find new
producing territory of any magnitude, the enlarged
demand for oil occasioned to great extent by
the scarcity in coal and the heavy decrease in
stocks above ground sufficient account for
the advances already made. Up to few months

is honest and downright in his deal.

The following letter descriptive of
tho Boer delegates-their appearance.
mode OF life, and views on peace-has
come from special correspondent in
| Pretoria:
AS a matter of fact, from first to
last, while Schalk Burger, the vice
| president, and the rest of the Trans
vaal government, with the exception
| OF Reitz, were In favor OF peace on any
or no terms, and Louis Botha shared
their Views. Steyn. De Wet and De-
larey were for demanding impossible
conditions. or that, however, anon.
The first protocol set out: That
whereas Great Britain was responsible
for the war, ETC., and by force Of arms,
ETC., they were willing to sue for peace
on the understanding that their rights
should be restored to them at the ex-
piration OF fixed period, etc. All that
was brushed aside and the delegates
after while, with some disputation
among themselves, settled down to
draft less Objectionable terms. But
Brer Boer is a quaint compound sus-
picious, and slow TO move in any ap
proved common sense direction. Like
nearly all primitive peoples, he has no
fear of asking too much, but a con-
slant dread of seeking too little. He
goes on the principle that arrange
ments and concessions are the out
come of entirely low, selfish motives
on the part of the other side.
Poor Mr. Steyn was more down on
his luck than any of the others on the
way to Pretoria. He was nervous and
out of sorts. and as he stepped out
Of the train his hat fell off more than

something more seriously wrong than

local medical man was called in and

minutes of their arrival each party
was conveyed to a temporary resi- |
dence.

or guard of honor. 1t was conceded |
that the Beers could see whomsoever
they wished, or go where they willed,
In company of an officer. The only
was that the delegates,
unless by express consent, should not
discuss politics or the war with their
visitors. Scores of female relatives
and few of the sterner sex could be
seen walking about daily in the garden
Or lounging upon the yerandas and
balconies chatting with the Boer lead
srs. Delarey had visits from his
laughter, who resides with her hus-
band in Pretoria, as well as from old
,urgher friends. Doubt and suspicion
.louded the Boer generals mind as
hey did those of his colleagues, de
troying frankness and easy inter
course.
And yet Delarey and the others
we're anxious to know what the true
ituation of affairs was, what chance
here was for assistance from abroad,

was maintained as to the course Of
| proceedings between Pretoria and Lon
don. Finally, when the proposals
were drafted into something like con-
ditions that could really be enter
tanned, the text was wired to the Co
lonial Secretary. Thereafter came
back in answer on Thursday, think,
the British Governments irreducible
minimum. Lord Miner had several
days previously received a very long
message in cipher, setting out the
home authorities view and instruc-
tons. The negotiations were nearly
broken of more than once, but the
departing Beers delayed departing,
and started to talk matters over afresh
with each other.
There was a second meeting on
Thursday and one more on Friday
yesterday, the date of their actual re-
turn to the commanders. Nothing Is
ever lost to Boer for want of ask
ing. In the beginning of the palaver
the delegates Opened their mouths"
monstrous wide. There was a declara-
voked and made war upon the repub-
lies; that the struggle was an unequal
one, and they wished for peace. They
were able to continue the war for
some time, but to stop further efrusio1
of blood they would cease hostilities
provided that within year civil gov
eminent was restored to the two
states. They stipulated that, pending
that and the withdrawal of the troops,
they should be represented by an ac-
tual majority of at least four out of
seven upon any administrative council
formed to conduct the government of
the country, that their flags should be
retained, and at the end of five years
the British forces should be entirely
withdrawn from the Transvaal and
Orange Free States, and these two
countries should be recognized as in
dependent republics.
In that "purgatory" period there
should be no disfranchisement of
and the Boer officials should
have control of the reins of govern
ment; and, further, they would agree
10 amend I06 FRANCHISE law, as lot
merly asked for by England, and
would allow British subjects to vote,
and also permit the use of the two
languages. There was to be general

If cutting down seemed YEARLY slow,
put bit by bit they numbered from
stage to stage. as it was seen that
otherwise they would have to go back
o their commanders without any
Message. Ultimately the matter was
,ut in a manner from which there was
10 trimming possible by the British
government setting forth the terms
hey would concede and not go beyond.
These were substantially the same
as were offered over one
ear ago to Louis Botha and the COM
nandoes at Middleburg.
