I'retlileut Krugnr, Tliraugh Consul, A p. praleil For the Intervention of the Great l'owern, Also Helghim, Holland anil Switzerland Germany Refused. Washington, March 18. There is reason to believo that the United States government is using its good ollices to restore pence between Great Britain aud the South African republics. This litis not taken the shape of a proffer of medi ation. Thut would bo distinctly repug nnnt to Great Britain, and, according to the rule of international law which has, without exception, governed tho state department iu the past, conld not lie volunteered by ns until it was known to be acceptable to both parties to the war. But the United States might very properly serve as an intermediary to transmit mi apiienl for peace and the terms mon which peace can be secured. Tho United States bus successfully served in this capacity in tho past, nota bly in the termination of thf China Japanese war, and it is believed I is good offices iu this line are now being ex tended. If this belief is well founded, then Adelbert Hay, United States con sul to Pretoria, has lieen the instrument for transmitting to tho British govern ment, through the double intervention of the department of state aud Ambassa dor Choate, an application from Presi dents Krugcr anil Steyn to be informed as to the terms upon which the war can bo ended. Tho facts in tho case will bo fully develojKid in a day or two. Lord Pauneefoto culled at the state dcntrtnifut and spent about half an hour with Secretary Hay. If he was made acquainted with the tenor of any communications relative to pence that may liave come from Pretoria he gave no sign of the foot. The officials of the dcpurtiiicut also maintained a reserve respecting this subject that was impen etrable and all that oould bo obtained from them wus an injunction to await the developments of tho 24 hours. It is surmised from this that the depart ment is restrained from discussing the snbjictbyn regard for the diplomatic proprieties, nnd especially because of the requirement that the person to whom a note is addressed should be pennitted to receive it before its substance is made public. In such case, presuming that Mr. Choato received a note Mouday.it is probable that he would not be able to inform tho state department that ho had delivered it to Lord Salisbury before today. The Hague, March 13. It was learned from a reliable source that Presi dent Kniger, through the consuls at Pretoria, appealed for tho intervention of tho great powers in the Transvaal war and has also appealed to the gov ernments of Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. Dl'KBAN, March 13. The Transvaal having appealed to Germany for media tion or intervention in tho war with Great Britain, Germany replied thut she declined to interfere, as sho was iu no way concerned in the conflict. THE BOERS EESISTED IN STUBBORN FIGHT. Driven From Their Center Position at Drlcrontcln-lloth Sides Snf feieil Severely. Dkiefosteix, Orange Free State, March 12. Brotul wood's cavalry bri gade, ndvi n ing on Bloemfontt-in, unex pectedly found the Boers in a strong po sition in the Driefonteiu kopjes. Gen eral Kelly-Kenny's division arriving, severe lighting ensued. The Boers re sisted stubbornly, but were driven from their center position, leaving a number of dead mid 40 prisom rs. The British force is moving forward. During tho fighting, in which five regiments took part, with artillery, the Bixts, though forced from their center position, clung tenaciously to the other kopjes, shelling tho British freely with three guns and two Viekers-Muxims. The British cavalry began to turn the Boer position, but night fell before tho movement was completed. The Boers retired during tho night. A large number of Australians were eugnged. The First Australian horso brigade, with the Scots Greys, advanced within 800 yards of tho Boers under heavy fire. Tho New South Wales mounted in fantry joined in tho pursuit of the Biters nothward. Loxr.ox, March 12. A dispatch to the war oflico from Lord Roberts, dated Driefonteiu, March 11, 7:45 a. m., con tained the following: "The enemy opposed us throughout yesterday's niarch, and from their inti mate knowledge of the country gave us considerable trouble. Owing, however, t J the admirable conduct of tho troops the enemy were nimble to prevent us reaching our destination. The brunt of tho fighting fell on General Kelly-Kenny's divisions, two battalions of which, the Welsh nnd Essex, tinned the Bx:rs out of two strong positions nt the point of the bayonet." Another dispatch to the war oflico from Lord Rolxrts, dated Driefoiiteicn, March 11,0:55 a. m., contained the fol lowing: "I cannot get the precise num ber of casualties before I march, bnt will communicate it as sixin as pos sible. The Boers suffered heavily, 102 of their deud being left on tho ground. We captured about 20 prisoners. "Among tho killed are Captain Eus tace, of tho Buffs; Captain Louiax, of the Welsh regiment, and Mr. MeCartie, a retired Indian civilian attached to Kitchener's horse.

PEACE PROPOSALS OF BOERS. riiey Demand Independence anil Amnesty For Colonial Rebel. London, March 12. Tho Daily Mail hns received the following dispatch from Pretoria, dated Saturday, March 10, and censured by tho Boer government: President Krager and President Steyn bnvo wired to Lord Salisbury psuce pro posal on condition that tho independ ence of the two republics be restored and the relicl colonials amnestied. Yesterduy tho foreign consuls were called into conference and were request ed to invite the intervention of tho pow ers they represented, in order to prevent further bloodshed. RIVAL FACTIONS ARMED. Democrat Organizing State Militia In Kentucky Republican Mili tia Gathered. Frankfort, Ky., March 12. J. move on the part of Governor Beckham's fol lowers toward tho formation of a state guard under his administration, was taken here, when City Clerk Ben Mw shall circulated a paper and enlisted the requisite number of men who are to compose a new company. The guns for this company were provided by citizens here, most of them being either needle guns or Winchesters. A report gained currency that Gover nor Taylor had given his soldiers orders to arrest Governor Beckham aud other officers of the Democratic state govern ment. On account of this report the men enlisted by Captain Marshall were assembled at the city hall, armed and sworn ill as sieciul police for tho pur pose of protecting the Dennxrutic offi cers who were quartered at the Capitol hotel. A large number of citizens also volun teered and were assigned to various posts in tho vicinity of the hotel to offer a resistance in case tho talked of arrests were attempted. Governor Taylor's sol diers, who were on guard at the state house, were reinforced by the arrival of the Barbourville compauy of 71 men, all of whom nro fully armed and equipped. The Pineville and London companies were expected. Governor Beckham appointed Colo nel David It. Murray, of Clover Point, assistant adjutant general, with tho rank of colonel, aud he was sworn in. The official announcement was made tliat this appointment was only tempo rary. This was regarded as significant, it being understood that Colonel Mur ray accepted the appointment on ac count of tho gravity of the present situation nnd with the understanding that he could resign when the conditions in the state became more quiet. Caleb Powers, tho Republican secre tary of state of Kentucky, and Captain Davis, of Frankfort, wero arrested at Lexington, after a sensational flight from the state cnpitol. They are charged with being Accessory to to the assassina tion of Gxbol. The civil oflicers at Frankfort had attempted to arrest the men during tho day, bnt were d"nied access to the executive building by the troops, under the orders of Governor Tuylor.

CONDUCTING TOPEKA CAPITAL AS HE BELIEVES WOULD CHRIST. . lis Leadei .4 iiollnceil llb Itenlre to Con duct the 1 Bier to the Glory of the Heavenly Father Advertising Matter Carefully Cemuired. Topeka, Kan., March 13. The first Issue of the Topeka Capital, came out this morning, under tho editorial and business control of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, who is running tho paper as ho believes would Jesus. Iu his editorial leader, Rev. Mr. Shel don made this announcement: "The main purpose of the papei will be to influence its readers to seek first the kingdom of God." He declared that "The Capital during this time will be a newspaper," the word "news" being defined by Mr. Sheldon as anything in the way of cur rent events that the public; ought to know for its moral and spiritual devel opment. The paper will be ah olutely non-partisan nnd partisan politic il news will be given scant notice. All editorial nnd important local mat ter will be signed by the writers. There will be no Sunday paper, but, instead, a Saturday evening paper suitable foi Sunday reading. His leader concluded as follows; "May God bless the uce of this .paper to the glory of His kingdom on earth. Tho first item on the first page was a prayer written by Bishop John A. Vin cent, of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was as follows: "A morning prayer and resolution, I will try this day to live a s . ., e, sin cere, serene life; repelling ee ' bought REV. rilARI.F.S II. 6IIEI.DOX. of discontent, self-seeking and nnxier ; cultivating magnanimity, self-control and the hubit of silence; practising econ omy, cheerfulness and helpfulness. " 'And, -as I can not in my own strength do this, or even with a hojie of success attempt it, , I look to Thee Oh Lord, my Father, in Jesus Christ, my savior, and ask for tho gift of the holy spirit.' " Editor Sheldon went to the office about 8:30 o'clock Monday morning and was on duty until tho paper went to press at about 3 o'clock this morning. At about 10 o'clock he had a conference with the correspondents for Eastern pajxa-s, nnd promised to meet them each evening at 7:30 o'clock and give out cer tain information concerning his work. At about 1 1 o'clwk ho had met tho local forco of the imper and gave out the assignments for the day. A page was devoted to local news and the leading features in today's issue were reports of a temperance revival and an anti-cigaretto meeting. Mr. Sheldon instructed the polico reporter that in case of a murder or other crime to writo a lmre statement of the facts. If ho had the spaco to spare, instead of filling up with the usual details he would go into a discussion of the causes leading up to the crime. During tho conference the sporting editor remarked thnt there would lie a contest nt the Y. M. C. A. nxims to night. "I think," said Mr. Sheldon, "that that is a gxxl clean sport. You may print it." Tho dramatic editor asked instruc tions about theutres. "We shall not want anything of that, kind," Mr. Sheldon said. One page was reserved for telegraphic news which ordinarily ixrupies nlxmt tlirce times that sjmce. The Associated Press reixirt was necessarily "blue pen ciled" with a vengeance. Tho market reports were cut from four columns to one. All quotations on stocks nnd bonds, giving options iind Dther mutter involving transactions in futures, were consigned to tho waste basket, and only the actual cash prices of gri.in, pnxluce, etc., were quoted. A notable feature of tho jmper was the method of handling advertisements. They wero banished from the news and editorial pages nnd were bunched in places re; cved for them. The censor ship here was even more rigorous than in tin; news columns, and a large quan tity of this class of matter was cut out, including all relating to patent medi cines. The familiar corset advertise ments of the magazines, uiiaccoiiitauicd by cnts, sought in vain for space. No retail advertisements from Kansas City or other ontof-town tradesmen were ac cepted, Mr. Sheldon bidding that this would Ixi an injustice to homo mer chants. The $20 suit of clothes for $1 1.7.") style f advertising was also barred. The Capital np)caic(l with a radical change in style and make-up. li-.n 'i cally the only feature that was familiar to its regular readers was the title headline. Is HESITATION IN TRADE. Dnn'a Review Said It Wan Not Necennarily Disheartening - strike F.fl'ect Koine lnliitrle. New York, March 10. R. G. Dun 6 Co. 's weekly review of trade issued to pay, said in jmrt: A certain hesitation in business with shrinkage in its volume is not unusual or unnatural at this season. It is not liecesssarily disheartening, therefore, if business is no longer as lai'ga iu volume as ever, but falls behind that o: Feb ruary or January or that of the corre 8ouding week last year. Strikes in building trades or of machinists and others at Chicago affect many industries and the wages of 60,XK) hands. The remarkable rise iu cotton has apparently met the expected reaction which tend for the time to repress business. A few great corporations are striving to hole1 prices without regard to present de mand, hoping thut the needs of the con sinners may prevent reaction and re new tho rise of last year. Wide differ ences of opinion also exist regarding the effect of monetary actior.- by con gress. Tho output of iron furnaces March 1 was 292,643 tons weekly, against 298,014 Feb. 1, and unsold sticks increased 35, 516 tons in February, making consump tion 40,921 tons daily, against 41,642 tone in January. Temporary stoppage oi four furnaces near Pittsburg, by a strike, and the reduction of output by many furnaces in blast, perhaps in part de sired and in part the effect of scarcity of coke, have supixirted prices of pig, aud of finished products, the only change is a slight decline in plates. Much busi ness is evidently deferred just now be cause of doubt regarding future prices. ConnellsviUe coke ovens are pmlucing 219,221 tons weekly, with 200 more oven soon to be added, but coke is hard t: get, even at $3.50 for furnace. Estimates of wheat in farmers' hands March 1, 164,000,000 bushels, according to the American Agriculturist, do not indicate a lack of supply this year, for, with 64,000,000 bushels in visible stocks, there is in sight nearly as much as a year ago, when foreign demands were extraordinary, and yet the crop year ended with over 33,000,000 bushels in visible supply. This year net exjxirts in seven months, flour included, have Ix'on 111,221,835 bushels, against 149,916,407 hist year, and in February enough to make about 125,000,000 bushels, against 108,000,000 last year, with no indications of a future foreign demand approaching that of last year from March 1 to July 1. Returns as to condition of winter wheat are also satisfactory. But of Lite prices have been very low, and have advanced this week nearly 3 cents for spot and 1 cent for May options. Loudon wool sales, so long awaited by speculators here to lift up prices again, opened with a severe decline of 7.' to 10 per cent, causing such disap pointment that much wiling is likely, especially us muanufuetiirers who have held out of the market for some months have still tixi large stocks of wool and too uncertain a market for goods to be in haste. Prices had previously de clined a little here, but with some trans actions. The business in goods, though less active than has Ix'en expected, has been at fairly steady prices as yet. Failures last week were in amount f3,4S2,K27, manufacturing $1,118,651, and trading $2,161,211.' Failures for tho week were 205 in the United States, against 182 hist year, and 33 in Canada, against 37 last year. MrK. llcrinun lie VrieH Dead. New York, March 12.
