THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

The session OF the British parliament

traordlnary interest, because the lib

else considerable influence. That this

establishment OF peace In South Africa

The reference in the opening address
to that matter was brief and indefinite,
II consisted OF an expression OF 70.

suranoe that the British arms had been
victorious, and an announcement that

probability they have some good foun-
dnlion. II the Beers are willing TO APP
rroach the British government and ask
for peace on reasonable conditions a
satisfactory arrangement can he made.
Lord Rosebery has suggested that
generous help should be given to the
Beers, who desire 70 re-eslablish them
selves in the Transvaal, and that seems
to be the utmost they, under The pres

NEW YoRWs TUNNEL HORROR.
Chicago News.

Following close upon the other recent
railway horrors, the collision In the
New York Central tunnel serves to
emphasize the fact that human life Is
not properly safeguarded under mod
ern conditions OF railway management.
According TO the stories OF some Of the
trainmen the necessary signals which
should have stopped a train and pre-
vented the collision were set In adj
dition, Is is said, flagman swung his
lantern and placed torpedo on the

A MODEL CITY.

A suggestion for the st, Louis fair

the New York Municipal Art society.
It Is that a model city be constructed
and exhibited.
The plan comprises q presentation OF
the progress already made in every
phase OF municipal development; the
most successful methods OF dealing
with municipal problems, beginning
with the laying out OF a city in streets.

public baths, laundries, theaters, tele-

art may be combined with utility 80
as TO make the city both attractive and

tographs and sketches be secured from
the most progressive cities OF the world,
and, wherever possible, the machinery
actually used be displayed, For in

power to remove the Chief OF Police,
