flames were eNtinguiShed and then
an unsuccessful search was made for

located. No traces whatever could
be found of the burglars and it is not

A SERIOUS HITCH.


London. April l6.-The Daily Mail,
in its issue of this morning, says it
understands n serious hitch has oc-
cured in the peace negotiations in
South Africa. The cabinet has tie
cided to refuse strongly worded
request from the Bocr leaders at
Pretoria for an armistice pending
the negotiations. This alone is not
likely to cause the Beers TO with
draw from the conference, says the
Daily Mail. but what threatens TO
stop the negotiations is the fact
that the government declines to place
the latter Cape rebels upon the same
footing as the burghcrs with respect
to amnesty, and is not inclined to
withdraw the Punishment proclama-
ton. These features are regarded by
the Beers as two cardinal points in
the terms.

TALMAcE's FUNERAL.


Washington, April l6.-Funeral
services were held at the Church OF
the Covenant yesterday afternoon
over the body of Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
mage. The casket rested Immediate
ly in front Of the pulpit and over it
was a massive bed of violets. The
floral offerings were numerous, most
~ of lilies Of the valley and white
roses, including wreath sent from
the white house by President and
Mrs. Roosevelt After the family had
entered the male quartet sang
LEAD, Kindly Light" favorite
hymn Of DR.. Talmage, and during the
services sang Beyond the Sailing
and the Weeping and ut Is Well
with My Soul" DR. Hamlin in his
address pictured DR.. Talmage as one
of the great clergymen Of the coun-
try. He said that DR.. Talmage in
his marvellous word pictures always
bespoke hope and cheer; that he
aimed at the hearts and emotions OF
the people instead Of at their intel
lect. DR.. Demarest referred to the
student life Of the deceased. He said
DR.. Talmage sometimes had been
charged with being sensational, but
he was sensational because he must
be and il was natural. He had in
bis early college life shown the same
marks of brilliant meteoric genius
that won their way to great achieve
ments in the later life. DR.. Easton
protested that it was yet too early
to measure DR.. Talmage; that death
clears our vision, removes or min
imi2es our rejudices and reduces
the supposed faults. lie said that DR..
1almagc was made of the stock from
which martyrs spring and that no
man had lived so apostolic life since
the days of Paul. lie said that Beech
er, Sturgeon and Talmage were the
three greatest preachers of the cen
tury, but that the last named was
the prince of the pulpit.
The caskct remained in the church
until late yesterday evening, when it
was placed on a special car attached
to the Pennsylvania railroad train,
leaving here for New York at 1910
o'clock n. m. The remains will be in
tered to-day at Greenwood GENE
