No doubt he is less bigoted protec-
ZIONIST than the most of them. and
they may be actuated largely by de-
sire to punish him for his more liberal
leanings.
But there is reason to believe they
are actuated in a much greater de-
gree by resentment aroused by his mil
itary style of laying his commands on
the legislative branch of the govern
ment and his threats of punishment in
case of disobediSce of orders.
Mr.. Roosevelt has developed the
qualities Of a military dictator rather
than those of political leader under
a republican government, and a pretty
strong expression of resentment is no
more than natural. and is likely to pro-
duce rather wholesome effect.

being the best obtainable terms, they
will almost certainly be accepted. The
results should be announced officially
either Thursday or Friday of this
week, probably on Friday. the day
upon which King Edwards birth is
celebrated. Peace is quite certain,
says the Daily Mail. and the delegates
at Pretoria are only engaged in en-
deavoring to gid the pill for the YER
eeningen conference to swallow.
The Daily Mail says further: Our
dispatches from Pretoria assert that
numerous communications are passing
between Lords Kitchener and Miner
in South Africa and London.
Lord Kitchener. although he is still
full OF energy, is much aged in appear
ance as a result of the continuous
strain which he has undergone The
concensus of opinion is that the recent
negotiations have proved Lord Kitch-
ener TO be a great diplomat as we'll as

ener has had TO contend with. The
Boer leaders are all deeply impressed

The delegates TO the conference. al
though they have abandoned their

have many points of difference with
the government, while an obstinate
minority continues to regard the re-

outcome of the present situation. and
at any moment these points of differ
ence may be accentuated into a refusal
to continue the negotiations.
II is most unlikely that those who
are in favor of peace will throw up
the sponge so long as a decent minor

must be taken into account before il
is possible to give any sort of pre-
