HITCH IN The PEACE TERMS
Unsuccessful Termination Of Negotiations
Between Beers and British is Expected,
BRITISH BALK At AMNESTY TO REBELS
Rumor Says Salisbury EndeRvOrs to
Convince King. who Favors Peace,
of ImpOssIbiIIty of Burgh-
ers' Proposals..

Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, April 16.-(New York World
Cablegram-speciai Telegram.)-A report
was prevalent after today's cabinet meeting
that peace negotiations we're virtually
broken off.
Premier sallsbury's visit TO the king gave
color to this rumor, as It was believed his
object was to persuade the king. who
strongly favors peace, that the Boer terms
respecting amnesty and autonomy were i'm
possible Of acceptance.
The intention attributed to the British
cabinet to refuse to include Cape rebels in
the amnesty would certainly rupture ne
gotiations. Great excitement prevails in
this city, where peace has been reckoned
on as certain and where opinion Is still
optimistic.
LONDON, April 16.--The Associated Press
has excellent authority for saying that UP
TO a late hour tonight there have been no
definite developments in the matter OF the
peace negotiations.
The Associated Press learns that Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner In
South Africa, has defined certain PROPOSE
lions on which peace may lmost imme-
diately be secured, but the cabinet. at its
meeting today, is said to have disagreed
upon the merits OF Lord Miners terms.
SpRrrinR for Time.
"sparring for time" best describes the
present status Of the negotiations, neither
eide being willing to risk a decision which
would break of the present conference.
An agreement may be reached at any mo-
ment, but this would more likely be the re-
suit Of semi-independent action BY Lord
Miner and Lord Kitchener at Pretoria.
than of the rather involved conditional de-
cisions OF the cabinet at London.
The broad lines Of Great Brltain's terms
are now known to the government repre-
sentatives at Pretoria and on these rep
resentatives the cabinet is apparently shift
Ing the responsibility Of taking advantage
Of all opportunities provided no cardinal
principles be sacrificed. The government
has ordered the cable and the telegraph
lines between London and Pretoria to be
kept clear to insure the prompt transmits
sion Of Lord Kitchener's messages.
There Is good reason to believe that the
Beers are vigorously demanding a repre-
sentative government and that this de-
mand is opposed with equal vigor by the
British representatives.
1t is understood that the Beers strongly
object to the long delay proposed by Great
Britain before a representative government
be granted the former republics and that
they also insist on the lumber. Of Boer
seats in the council being specified.
II Is expected hat the cabinet will re-
assemble tomorrow to discuss the matter

HOar Against the Principle.


The substitute was further perfected by
an amendment proposed by Mr.. Mitchell
providing the judicial procedure in exclu-
sion cases in our insular possessions.
Before the final vote was taken on the
passage Of the substitute bill Mr.. Hoar
gave notice that he would vote against the
measure, and In this connection he made
earnest protest against the principle Of ex-
clusion. He believed that everything In
the way Of exclusion could be accomplished
without involving the principle OF striking
at a particular class or race. Holding as
he did that every soul had it's rights, and
that these rights were not dependent on
color or race he recorded his protest
against this measure.
The bill was then passed, rs to 1, Mr..
Hoar being the only one recording himself
in the negative.
Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts, secured an
agreement making the Philippine civil gov
eminent bill the unfinished business Of the
senate, and after q brief executive session

ELEVEN INNINGS TO DECIDE
Rourke's Men Require Two Extra Rounds
to Beat 0ollegians.
ENCOUNTER FAST BALL UNEXPECTEDLY
students Find No Trouble in Keepins
Even with Opponents on stick
Work and Lose Only
by FIuke.

Eleven strenuous innings was what 1t
cost the Omaha leaguers to wrest victory
from the University Of Nebraska base ball
team at Vinton street park yesterday, and
the only additional attestation Of the merit
Of the game necessary Is the score-2 to 1.
To say that the Rourke Rangers were
taken by surprise is putting It mildly. They
were completely nonplussed by the class of
play the collegians handed to them. Two
weeks ago the same teams played three
games at Lincoln, on the varsity mems
home grounds, and everything was a walk
away for Omaha. The status OF affairs yes
terday was far different.
In fact, there never was a point in the
game when the students had not equal
chances with the professionals Of winning
as far as the immediate merits OF the con-
test went. For the first three innings. too,
the undergraduates had the score 1 to 0.
when Omaha finally evened 1t in the fourth
by a close margin. And as far as hits went.
the amateurs led all the way, making nine
off Owen, while eight we're all the Gate
City stickers could pole off Freshman
Leatherby in the eleven innings.
Omahans in n Trance.
So astonished were the Omahans that
they never really came out Of their trance
till along In the late innings. Then, when
the score had stood at a tie for about four
rounds, they woke up to the fact that they
were up against a game OF base ball. and
from that time all their energies we're bent
to pulling out the game. Twice it seemed
that they had succeeded, once in the eighth.
where they got two singles in a row. and
again in the tenth, when an error and a hit
put two more men on bases. But both
times the clever youngsters from the cam
pus brought about two more ciphers by the
very prettiest Of base ball generslship and
execution.
So the critical final came, and the first
two men up, Gaines and Rhodes, went out
as usual. Then came Sticks" DePutrou.
with his second hit. and a passed ball put
him on second base. Raymond followed
with a hot grounder to third, which sticks
intercepted with his anatomy. putting him
and his side out.
For Omaha Hickey went out. but Thomas
followed with a triple, which won the game.
as on the next play he got home. owen hit
to Pitcher L~eatherby and right there the
Freshman made his sole mistake. Thomas
was almost half way from third to home.
and Leatherby could have thrown nicely to
third and had the league catcher between
the bases. Instead he threw Owen out at
hrst, and Raymond got the ball back to
Catcher Bender just too late to queer that
winning run.
