LONDON , Dec. 22. William T. Stead has just returned from The Hague , where ho had a long confer ence with MY. Krtiger and ascertained at first hand the views of Mr. Kruger and his counselors as to the present situation and future prospects. Mr. Stead has written the following for the Associated Prcan : "First of all , nothing Is decided about his visit to America at present. President Kruger has not abandoned all hope of securing the support of the governments of the civilized world In his demands for arbitration. Until the last government refuses absolutely to irny a word In support of the prin ciples which they solemnly laid down at The Hague conference Mr. Kruger will not partake In popular demonstra tions. It Is recognized that If ho cared to do so he could shako the continent. The popular enthusiasm for him Is un paralleled since Garibaldi's visit to London , but until his diplomatic mis sion is exhausted an appeal to the people cannot oven bo taken Into con sideration. Mr. Kruger IB emphatic in disclaiming any desire to Involve oth er nations in war In behalf of the Boers , What he asks Is that the gov- einments , which at The Hague declared their Intention to use their efforts to secure amicable settlement of disputes by means of mediation and arbitration , should make a united effort to bring the verdict of the civilized world to bear on Great Britain. " 'The English , ' Mr. Kruger said , arc waging thla war in South Africa llko savages. They are burning homes , de stroying dams , cutting trees , devastat ing fields and creating famine. They are unable to capture Dowel , but they are making prisoners of women and children , who arc not treated with or dinary decency. Hundreds of women have been confined In prison Krall , near Port Elizabeth , with only one i-hnlr , and several of them are expect ing to become mothers. ' "Mr. Kruger avers that the provi sions of the convention at The Hague and the laws and usages of war arc trampled under foot and ho wants to know whether the signatories of this convention have anything to say on the subject : . "The man on horseback at this mo ment Is not Mr. Krugor , but President Steyn. Ho , Dclnrey and Dcwet are masters of the situation , having n better disciplined and moro effective force than that which followed the vlcrklcur ( flag ) nt the outbreak of the war. They have plenty of ammuni tion and replenish their store continu ally from the British convoys. They have taken enough Lce-Motford rifles to arm all the burghers now In the Hold. I cannot put their position bet tor than in the words of one of Mr. Krugor's counselors. 'England Is our accused. England Is the solo witness against us. England Is the judge. England Is the executioner and Eng land hopes to profit by our death. We appealed for arbitration before the war. Wo are fighting for arbitration today. AVe have the right to expect the sympathies of the civilized world. ' Unreal lloxrrs. BERLIN , Dec. 22.

An in- tructlon will again go out today to Mr. Conger at Pekin to sign the agree ment which , according to Pekln ad- Icca , already has been signed by all of the other ministers at the Chinese apltal. This instruction is sent with omo reluctance because the agree ment ns It now stands does not com- iletely represent the , view of the Unit- id States government. But It Is be loved to be the most favorable com- iromlso that could be reached unless legotlatlons are to bo drawn out to a langerous length , for all reports Indi cate a growing spirit of unrest In Chl- la , owing to the absence of any form of native government In Chi u and the adjacent provinces. So the United States accepts the "Irrevocable" condi tion Imposed upon the Chinese gov ernment , though , after all , this ex pression Is rather a matter of form than of substance , for diplomacy knows no such thing as "Irrevocable agreement.

LINCOLN , Dec. 21. The constitu tionality of the state irrigation act will be subjected to n legal test before the supreme coiut next month.

The action of the supreme court in overruling the motion of the attorney general for a rehearing of the case < jr the State of Nebraska against the Burlington rail road , has removed all possibility of prolonging the existence of the Utate Board of Transportation under its pros- 3nt organization. According to the de- ) reo of the court the life of the board : ame to an end when the motion was jverruled and , therefore , the salaries ) f the three secretaries and other em- iloyes stopped at the same time. Sec- otary G. L. Laws said regarding the natter. "My opinion Is that we are mocked out , but there is still n pos- iibility of reorganizing the board under he act of 1885 , which may have been evived by the decision of the court. That act provides for a board , conslst- ng of the auditor , attorney general ind secretary of' slate , and allowed iach member to appoint his own sec- otary on condition that1 the three be ihosen from the Frst , Second and [ 'bird districts respectively. If the aw of 1885 is still in force there might so a reorganization , but I am not pre- iared to say so positively. " Senator Allen Asltcd to Ilt-lp. LINCOLN , Dec. 24.
