The Hague. April 15.-From those
close in touch with the Boer leaders
here it appears that the latest secret
dispatch from South Africa outlines
the peace proposals now under discus
sion at Pretoria. They closely follow
the summary given on Saturday last
by the Evening News of Edinburgh
with the following additional details:
The Beers to accept a British lord
commissioner, with a Boer executive
both to be resident at Pretoria.
The country to be divided into dis
tricts, with British district officers and
a Boer committee chosen by polling
by the burghers. The veto to be re.
served to the British government. The
majority Of the British officers must
be conversant with the two languages.
johannesburg to be ceded TO the
British, with complete British civil
government.
A war indemnity of 10000 900. to
be distributed by mixed committees.
Disarmament to occur when the first
batch of Boer prisoners is sent back
to South Africa.
No war tax to be levied.
Both languages to be recognized in
the schools and in official documents.
The present Boer leaders to be re-
tanned in Office so far as possible.

Outdoor Weddings in Nav and JUNG.

outdoor Weddings in May and June.
1t is a growing custom to celebrate
country weddings, in May and June
out-of-doors. One of the prettiest of
weddings took place last May In an
orchard in fnll blossom, when nature
seemed to have decked herself for a
bridal Garlands of foliage suspended
from tree to tree marked off the aisle
those of white flowers indicating the
place where the bridal party was to
stand. For a country wedding the in
vltations should give full information
about trains, aud carriages or carry
alls be sent 10 convey the guests to
and from the station.
After an hour given to their friends
the bridal pair retire to dress for their
journey, and the formal guests with
draw. The bridegroom awaits the
bride at the foot Of the staircase with
the family and intimate friends. AT
her appearance she holds aloft her
bridal bouquet and then throws it
among the bridesmaids The one to
catch 1t will be the next brlde-so say
the es!-Ladies' Home Journal.

Most people who have slept on ocean
steamers in the tiny boxes that are
called "staterooms" have wondered
whence the magnificent name was de,
rived. A British colonial paper gives
an explanation of what we have never
before seen explained. On the carly
Mississippi steamboats, the cabins were
divided by curtains only. But IN enter
prising owner built wooden partitions
In his boats. aud named the cabins af-
ter the various States of the Union.
The innovation proved popular, and
passengers coming on board would ask
What State are you putting me in this
trip? The derivation of the term is
plausible. But We're there not state
rooms on passenger vessels before the
days of steam?

FREAKS oE NATURE.

A Monstrous Growth of Vegetation
Found in the Golden State.
"We are not so much on corn here in
California" said Seedman l.. Germain.
Of Los Angeles. but in all other prod
ucts Of nature we can beat the world"
He is perhaps the oldest seedman on
the Pacific coast, says a Los Angeles
letter. What he does not know about
fruit, grain and vegetables is not worth
knowing.
When asked about vegetable mon
strosities yesterday he refreshed his
memory for a moment and then con-
tinued: "Of course, you have heard Of
the big grape vine at Santa Barbara,
which covers an area of three acres of
land. Then there Is the monster rose
bush at Santa Rosa. remember when
boy, marveled at the size Of this
floral plant. It grew to an enormous
height and completely covered the
house where 1t grew. During my life
time here in California have handled
squashes running all the way from $50
to 800 pounds each.
"Watermelons | have seen weighing
from thirty-flve to 100 pounds. Beets
are frequently known on this coast
weighing all the way from forty to sew
enty-hve pounds. Last fall saw three
onions. the aggregate weight Of which
was nearly five pounds. In the Pomona
Valley have known of onions weigh
ing from one and three-quarters to two
and a half pounds. Tomato vines fire.
quently grow ten or twelve feet across,
and l have often seen radishes that
looked like big turnips."
"How about potatoesw
"Well, have observed specimens of
the Humboldt County potato which
weighed from two to three pounds. II
is not at all unusual to see cabbage
weighing from thirty-fiye pounds to
seventy-five pounds. Some years ago a
Mr.. Fox, who lived down In the Santa
Crux Mountains. raised a carrot Of the
white Belgian variety which weighed
about twenty eight pounds. 1t was the
biggest carrot on record. In the way
of fruits, we have raised on this coast
enormous peaches and pears. The
largest pears that come to the San
Francisco market. of course. are what
they call pound pears, but have seen
them weighing two and half pounds. f"

The examination proceeded rather
disastrously, but the cauet was finally
dismissed, and told to answer to bis
name at reveille the next morning.
The little fellow lay awake nearly all
night. fearing he might not hear the
drum-beat; and when it sounded be

called, and each boy answered; but
when It came to "Bleecker," there
proved to be several: II. H.. II. B. and
J.J. When the last,named was called.
no one answered. and the little new
conner felt that he had been forgotten.
After breakfast when the boys had
gone to their rooms for study. little

open the door, and found there a ser
geant and two men. with their guns
at carry.

geant. ito arrest you aud take you to

The boy started back In genuine hor-
ror and despair. He wondered it his
father had any conception of the awful
situation. and what he would say IL be

but to yield. and he walked away with
his guard. As soon as they reached the
Majors presence, that officer asked:

Major.
