BOERS PUZZLE THE WORLD
Burghers' Conference with Kitchener Finds
Ho Sure Interpretation.
LONDON DOUBTS THAT PEACE IS AT HAND
English Are I'nable to Solve the Prob
lem, While Other European Au
thorities Offer Conjec
tural Solutions.
LONDON', March 24. The "Associated
Press bas good reason to believe tbat Lord
Kitchener, in bis Interview with Mr.
Schalkburger, agreed to withdraw the ban
ishment proclamation loaned In September
if Ot nersl Dewet and the other Boer lead
ers surrendered.
There Is little disposition In London to
regard the news of the Boer government's
visit to Pretoria any too hopefully. Offi
cial circles express the doubts, held
throughout, of the ability of Acting Presi
dent Schalkburger and the other civilian
leaders of the Boers to Induce such men aa
Oenerals Dewet and Delarey to surrender.
Possibly, they think, the representatives
of the Transvaal government are desirous
of suing for peace, but there Is nothing to
show tbat they have any authority to im
pose submission on the commanders In the
field.
The moat hopeful , sign they see Is the
announcement that Lord Kitchener per
mitted Mr. Schalkburger and his com
panions to proceed to the Orange River
Colony, the contention being that unices
the British commander-in-chief In South
Africa, who is on the spot, and, therefore,
most thoroughly conversant with the situ
ation, recognised the possibility of fruit
ful results and believed In the good faith
ot the Transvaalers, he would not have
permitted the visitors to continue the pil
grimage to the headquarters of their Orange
River Colonies.
Press Is Caatloaa.
The same cautloua reserve nermeatea th
newsnaner utterances anil tha rnmmant In
Well Informed circle. Soma sls-nlfleanea la
attached to the fact that. In approaching
Lord Kitchener, Mr. Schalkburger and those
associated with him have carried out to the
letter the advice a-Iven bv the British
foreign secretary. Lord Lansdowne, In his
reply to tne peace note of the Netherlands
government, that the quickest and most
satisfactory means for arrana-ina- a aat.
tlement would be by direct communication
between the leaders of the Boers and the
British commander-in-chief in South
Africa.
There Is no slcn. however, that tha
Transvaal mission received any mandate
from the fighting generals or that tha
latter are prepared to recognize the author
ity or tneir aotlng president to negotiate
terms ot peace.' .. Presumably, tbe . latter

leld, on the order of the Boer govern
ment. Almost the best to be hopsd for
la that the present overtures will so mod-
iry tne situation as to bring peace nearer.
me Westminster Gazette this afternoon
urges that any neaca nronoaal shnuM ha
regarded on Its merits, pointing out that
tne ungenerous assumption that the pre
vious Boer overtures were signs of weak
ness contributed largely to the failures
of the negotiations.
Radical Chang Not Imminent.
Tbs Pall Mall Oazette would "Ilka to
think that the brave, skillful commandera.
Dewet ana Delarey, have arrived at the
height of moral courage, once attained by
General Lee, and have realised that tha
trueat patriotism does not consist In the
prolongation or a hopeless struggle." The
paper confesses, however, that the military
situation la not auspicious for auch a
change ot mind.
The St. James Gazette extracts from tha
unlllumlnatlve dispatches thus far received
from Pretoria the theory that Mr. Bchalk
burger and the other members of his party
have possibly already surrendered and have
been released on narola far tha mimosa of
seeing President Steyn and. General Dewet.
i ne aews from South Africa had a gen
erally good effect on the 8ock exchange.
in tne House of Commons tha war seer.
tary, Mr. Brodrlck, announced that a fort
night ago Mr. Schalkburger Intimated to
Lord Kitchener his desire to be granted a
safe conduct through the British l Inaa anil
back. In order to see Mr. Steyn with ref
erence to peace proposals. Lord Kitchener,
who tne consent of the government, has
acceded to the request.
The announcement of the war aecretar
was received with cheers.
The Dally Chronicle, this mornlna asserts
that an armistice has been arranged pend
ing the duration of Schalkburgher's mission
to General Dewet and that offensive opera
tions against Dewet, Delarey and Botha
will be auspended. The three generals have
agreed to observe the armistice honorably
until tne return or tb envoys to ths Boer
lines. It la believed, continue tha DaU
Chronicle, that the envoys after acquaint
ing Botha with the rsault ot their mission
will again confer with Lord Kitchener,
although no arrangement for the second
conference has been made.
In a dispatch from Pretoria, made public
tonight. Lord Kitchener gives, his usual
weekly total ot captures, etc., but does not
mention the Schalkburgher Incident.
Reanlt t Eran Plans.
AMSTERDAM. March 24. It Is believed
In Beer circles her tbat the move of Act
ing President Schalkburgher la the result ot
a communication from ths Boer representa
tives la Europe. A former member of the
Transvaal government said tonight:
After the exchange of the Dutch-Eng
lish notes a confrrvhc was called for Feb
ruary. This otxifereno waa attended by
Mr. Kruger, Dr. Leyds and the delegate
and It waa decided to send six enilHsarlea
to South Africa by different route with
dlspatche lor fHV and . fik-hajkburgber,
giving them a detailed account of tb
situation. On of these saints ought to
have arrived about thl time. Document

Inclined to compromise their demands for

by the plan Bchalkbtiraher ha outlined for
tne government of Industrial centers. This
consists or a iiritmn board of admlnlatr.t
tion, with proportional Boer representation.
Surprise nt The llaarne.
THE HAOtE. March 24. Acting Presi
dent Schalkburgber's arrival at Pretoria was
a complete surprise to the Boer circles here.
It was surmised that the step taken was
connected with the instructions sent to
Lord Kitchener to communicate the text
of the Anglo-Dutch notes to the Boer
leaders.
Regarding the fears, expressed In the
British press that the Boer generals would
not be inclined to recognize the authority
of the civil government of the South African
republics in case the latter decided to open
peace negotiations, well Informed persons
here doclare that such apprehension Is un
founded. Tbey point out that the Boer
civil and military authorities have always
worked In perfect harmony and that Mr.
Schalkburgher and the government could
not have proceeded to the Orange River
colony via Mlddleburg and Pretoria without
at least the consent f General Botha.
In conclusion it Is said that the final
decision as to whether serious peace over
tures shall be msde rests entirely in the
hands of the Burghers, who will have to
decide upon It at a public meeting.
Mr. Kruger has not yet received any tele,
graphic advices from South Africa, nor has
the transvaal legation, but tbey undoubtedly
will receive advices in the event of the
leaders finding a workable basts for peace
terms.
Xalei n Boer Victory.
NEW YORK, March 24. Rev. Dr. II. D.
von Broeckhuysen of Pretoria, who is in
this country on behalf of the Boer cause,
asserts that he haa received advices pri
vately of the capture by the Boera of
Rlebeek West, a town of 1,500 Inhabitants,
only thirty miles from Capetown, Cape
Colony. He declares the new came to him
by mail.
WOULD CHANGE UNION RULES
Maater Painter Agree. to Ralae Waajes
bat Want Workmen to Grnnt De
mands RpKardlna; Ootslde Work.
A committee of the Painters' union met
the master painters last night and discussed
the proposed advance in the scale of wages,
amounting to 2H cents an hour, beginning
April 1. The masters agreed to the In
crease, but asked for the privilege of
changing two rules of the union. To this
the union men demurred.
The masters want the union men to agree
to work for no less than 60 cents an hour
tor outside parties, and want them to charge
double time for all night and Sunday work
done for outsiders. The scale is now 37',4
cents an hour and the Increase will make
It 40 cents. Overtime Is charged at price
and a half.
Two hundred and eighty-seven men in
the Painters' union are affected by the
raise and fifty are being paid above the
scale. Everything Is agreeable between
masters and workmen, except on the ques
tion of changing the two rules.

Far Protection of Nebraska.
At a conference of Representatives Ne

bill pending In th house, the Nebraska del
egation succeeded in Inducing Mondell of
Wyoming and Shafroth of Colorado to sup
port an amendment to the bill which, tf
carried, will give th measure the united
support of the Nebraska delegation. The
amendment Is of vital Importance to Ne
braska and provides that no water shall be
diverted by any of th public works to b
constructed as provided in the bill from tb
watersheds ot the North and South Platte.
This, It is contended, will insure Ne
braska against any water famine being
caused by it use In Colorado and Wyom
ing and will prohibit these states from mis
appropriation of waters in tb streams
named to the detriment of settlers living
below Colorado and Wyoming.
The Bouth Dakota delegation In congress

CONFER WITH THE PRESIDENT
House Members' Discuss Cuban Couditioua
at Roosevelt's Bequest.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE FAVORS RECIPROCITY
While Not Committing Himself to Any
I'oaltlie Form of Settlement Prea
- Ident Hint at Feasible
: Solution,
i
WASHINGTON. March 24. A conference
was held at the White House this afternoon
between the president and seven of th
republican members of the bouse of repre
sentatives which have been foremost In op
posing the plan c." Cuban reciprocity urged
by the ways and .means committee and un
derstood to have the support of the ad
ministration. The membcra who called were Representa
tives Tawney and Morris of Minnesota,
Dick of Ohio, William A. Smith of Michi
gan, Metcalf of California and Dayton ot
Wtst Virginia. The call waa at the request
of the president, who desired an trhmi
of views to th end that harmonious action
mignt be secured In such steps as are taken
In behalf of Cuba. Aa Oenersl Wnnri has
arrived here from Cuba, and as several
members of the cabinet were at the White
House while the congressmen were thefe, a
report Calned circulation that Secret. r
Root and General Wood were present during
tne eonterence. This, however, was not
the case as the president and the congress
men remained alone in the cabinet room for
the hour and a halt that they were to
gether; Talk Take Wide Range.
The talk took a wide range, covering the
conditions In Cuba, what should be done
to meet these conditions and also the ques
tion of harmonizing conflicting Interests
o mat there might be unanimity of action
on the part of the republicans In congress.
tl waa stated arterwsrds by those who
tad participated in the conference that It
was of the most pleasant character, and
that there was not tha remotest sn.vp.tlnn
on the part of the chief executive which
could be construed as seeklna t n tiraa them
to yield their personal convictions.
ine caller were frank to concede that
they found the president desirous of extend
ing effective relief to Cuba by tho reci
procity plan, in this connection it was
stated the president drew attention m h
fact that the Sibley amendment limiting
tne reciprocity period to December 1, 1903,
gave the Payne bill a rather one-sided
aspect, ss it asked Cuba to adnnt nnr
naturalization and immigration laws and
give us tarin concessions without limit of
time, and In return to e-lve to Cuha t.i-itf
concessions limited to about a year and a
cair.
Cnba Get Short End.
Some of the congressmen credent wera In
cllned to admit that we were aaklnr a a-nnrt
deal from Cuba In return for tha little. a
would grant . her. The Interchange of
views oecame quite general, there being
notning in the way of definite propositions
one way or the other, but merely an agree
able expression of oninlon as to what was
best to be done under the circumstances of
tne situation. la the course of thin n.
eral talk the suggestion was made that if
me rayne bill had been modified so as to
tana- on the differential on refined mnr
some of the grounds of opposition might
uav Deen removed. However, there wss
no request, so far as can ha learn h.
the bill be amended In this particular at
mo present stage. The plan of rebate,
which was urged at one time, also came
in for discussion and exnlanation
At the conclusion of the conference the
general unaerstaodlng was reached that
any statements made to tha nnhti
be to the general effect that no conclusions
were reacnea and that the conference was
confined to a general interchange of views.
It la understood that the nmatrfanr vsL'tll
