OBJECT MAY Be PEACE
Boer Leaders Enter British Lines
Under Flag of Truce.

Pretoria, March 24.--Acting Presi-
dent Schalk-Burger, F. w. Reitz, ex-
secretary of state of the Transvaal,
and Commandments Lucas Meyer and
Krogh arrived here Sunday on spe-
cial train from Balmoral, about so
miles east of here. They reached Bal
moral under a flag of truce. After a
short stay here they proceeded for the
Orange River Colony. 1t is believed
they intend to see Lord Kitchener,
who is directing the operations against
Delarey.
Possibility of Peace.
London, March 24.-The news that
the wandering government" had en-
tered the British lines is regarded as
having but one meaning, namely, that
another attempt is being made to ne
gotiate peace. The fact that the GEN.
sor passed the news of this movement
is accepted as confirmation of this
opinion. Nothing is actually known
here of the intentions of Messrs.
Schalk-Burger, Reitz, Meyer and
Krogh. 1t is possible they have only
sought permission to traverse the
British lines in order to consult with
Mr.. Steyn and the Boer generals De
Wet and Delarey. But whatever their
object the news has been welcomed in
London as pointing to the possibility
of peace.
Some correspondence, which was
seized short time ago when Mr..
Steyn narrowly escaped capture,
proved that he and Mr.. Schalk-Burger
were anxious to conclude peace. No
extravagant hopes, however, are be-
ing built on the outcome of the move
ments of Mr.. Schalk-Burger and his
companions, chiefly because it is
feared that Delarey, in the flush of his
recent success, will refuse to be
party to any negotiations. The war
Office has received no official informa-
ton either confirming or contradict
ing the news. Commandant Krogh is
one of the secretaries of the Boer gov
eminent. He was formerly the adj
ministrator of Swaziland and has not
been prominent during the war.
Press Comment.
Few of the papers here comment
on the news from Pretoria. These
take it for granted that Mr.. Schalk-
Burger and his companions are on a
mission of peace, and again engage
in a discussion of possible peace
terms, expressing the hope that the
overtures will have successful out
come. The presence of Lucas Meyer
is regarded as significant, as he is an
intimate friend of Louis Botha.
The Daily Chronicle, commenting
on the absence of Botha from the
delegation, suggests he is standing
aside owing to the failure of his
overtures of year ago, and consid-
ers that, although the conditions
Lord Kitchener then offered to Botha
had been annulled, it is highly prob
able that peace may still be arranged
on similar lines, but that the Beers
cannot expect more lenient terms.
The Daily News remarks that set
Element would be possible if the
Beers were treated like civilized COM
batants, "but men do not surrender
Internationally just after taking one
of the enemy's generals and four of
his guns"

Captured Big Game.

talking a great deal, he leaned over,

He was tiny little fellow, surely not
more than five years old, and as he
called for his afternoon papers at the
corner of Twelfth and Market streets
many people gazed at him with mingled
amusement and pity. He had long
brown curls. wet with the drenching
rain, and his shrill little voice had a
baby lisp. A very stout, elderly wom-
an, apparently weighing close to 200
pounds, paused at the south side Of
Market street and looked askance at
the miniature river of water and at the
passing procession of wagons and troll
ley cars.
The little newsboy was quick to size
up the situation. Running up to her, he
exclaimed: Don't be afraid. lady. I'll
help you across" Reaching up his tiny
little hand. he clutched her by the arm,
and together the ridiculous pair thread
ed their way to the opposite curb. Then
the stout woman opened her purse,
gravely handed the little fellow a coin
and disappeared into the Reading ter
