WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, made a speech in
the Senate to-day in opposition to the
claim of Indiana for 100000 as interest on
war bonds, which is now tackled on the
urgency deficiency bill. He says that his
State and many other Southern States
were patriotic during the war of 1872, the
Mexican war and the late Spanish-Ameri-
can war, but they had never been able to
secure a settlement of any of their claims.
The bill went over until tomorrow.
Postmaster McGinnis will return to In
dianapolis tomorrow. He says he has had
more fun in Washington than he has had
since he was a boy. He has been royalty
entertained not only by his Indiana friends
but by numerous other prominent govern
ment officials whom he has met here and
knew before.

in the city this morning for a further busi-
ness stay in Washington. Since he left

Because of the stiff wind it was a hard

itself fairly we'll until o'clock last night,

LONDON. Feb. 5.-Great Britains reply
to the proposition of The Netherlands gov
ernment was made public yesterday. Ii
states that if the Beers in the field really
desire peace negotiations can be entered
into. but only in South Africa. The British
government will not accept the interven-
tion of any foreign power.
The morning papers are unanimous in
applauding Lord Lansdowne's dignified and
courteous rejection OF what is regarded as
a rather ingenious attempt on the part OF
the Dutch government 10 draw Great Brit
ain into making peace overtures- The ed
itorials are politely satirical that DR.. huy-
per should expect any result from such
proposal, which, the Daily Mail declares.
would have placed Great Britain IN Che
position of a suppliant TO the Boer dele
gates in Europe
The Chronicle believes that the govern
ment's nonvindictive rejection will COM
nand the respect of foreign nations.
The Standard says that Lord Lans-
downes words are Enthusiastically distinct
and will be understood in other capitals
besides The Hague.
The Daily Telegraph dubs the action of
Dr. Kuyper as a "grotesque nursery ex-
travaganza."

says the Times. "shuts the door TO danger

Opinions at The Hague differ concerning
the action OF DR.. Kuyper. Many persons
think the Dutch premier was ill advised in
making the proposal feeling his ground

made for salvage from stocks of goods. A
great deal of movable property still re-
