THE BOER PEACE D·LEGATES.
WASHINGTON, May oth
A meeting was held last night at the house! of Congressman Sulter to arrange for the re- ception of the Boer peace envoys now on their way to the United States from Holland. The meeting included a considerable number of Senators and Representatives. It was decided that the Boer delegation should be accorded iccaption similar to those tendered Kossuth, Lafayette and Parnell. The Grand Opera- house has been secured for Sunday, May 20th, and public addresses of a non-partisan mature will be delivered by prominent ine.
HOOLEY NOT BACKED BY THE CZAR.
NEW YORK, May oh. - A San cable from London, says: The after- non papers here gave prominence yesterday to interviews with Ernest Terah Hooley, the well-known company promoter, who alleged that the concessions recently granted by the Czar for working gold deposits in his majesty's private estate in the Northchinsk region of Siberia had been granted to him, and that he was managing the whole business, backed by capitalists whose names he declined to divulge. The Daily Experts, which first printed the story about the concessions, denounces Hooley's tale as a fabrication. The paper says it kuvas who the real concessionaire is, and says that negotiations have been proceeding for six months. Hooley only learned of them three weeks ago, His only connection with the matter is that £7,000 nf £1,000,000 capital was furnishest from funds that are more or less undur Hooley's control. The Russian E- bassy and Consulate were horrified by seeing linoley's name linked with that of the Czar, and they utterly repudiate him. Hooley, who failed some time ago, after carrying on very extensive operations in which a number of per- sons were involved, is still un undischarged bankrupt.
EDUCATION UNDER DIFFI- CULTIES IN NATAL
The Superintendent of Education for Natal has just issued his annual report for 1899, and it makes very interesting ruling in view of the fact that the year's school-work has been seriously hampered and interrupted by the war between the Empire and the two Dutch Re- publics. All the European, native, and Indian schools north of Ladysmith have been aban doned for the me, and the superintendent visited Ladysmith during the beginning of April to arrange for the resumption of work at the Government school, which has had the novel experience of having its school desks splintered. by enemy's shells during the siege." A large nu ber of children from the Republics have partially disorganized the schools to which they have gone, as most of them were Imand mentally deficient in their schooling, and special classes had to be forniest for boys who were too old and too big for infant classes, but not advanced enough to enter the lowest class of a boys' school. All these refugee chil-
dren have received free hooks and free educa- tion. The school buildings at Newcastle and Dander are being used as Boer hospitals, while the college at Pietermaritzburg and the Government school at Estcourt are military hospitals, Wersen school, owing to the prox inity of the four forces, was closed for more than a month. Seven schoolmasters of the Education Department are on active service at the front. The pups of the Governsent schools at Petepaaritzburg and Durban have been largely contributing in kind to the various military huspita's and refugee homes. Superintendent of Education regrets to say that the "Richmond White" Challenge Cup, value £50. for carlets, won by a team from Dundee School, was carried off by Vryheid Boers when they louted Dundee School and the schoolmaster's house,
THE "SAINTS OF ICE,"
The
A FRENCH COUNTRY SUPERSTITION.
PARIS, 10th May, To-norrow begins a period of three days that is awaited with apprehension by such of the country folk in France as still believe in the old popular superstitions. The three saints that figure in the calendar for May 3, rs, and 13 have a most satisfactory reputation. Their names are St. Mamert, St. Pancrace, and St. Servais, and they are popularly known as the saints of ice. According to a very ancient tradition, a sudden, spell of cold weather is to be feared when the anniversary of the "saints de glace" comes round. As this visitation of frost usually follows the succession of warm days that usher in the spring it is particularly dreaded, since it is not at all unlikely to prove fatal to the fruit crop and the early plants and vegetables.
Modern meteorologists have cleared the re- putation of the saints of ice, but at the same time their observations go to show that there is some foundation for the fears aroused by the advent of the chilly trio. It is a fact that the warm weather of the early spring is very fre quently interrupted by a sudden break during the first half of May. Fortunately, for the good repute of the saints, the coming of this cold spell cannot be laid to their door, as it sometimes precedes and sometimes follows the dates they occupy in the calendar. Still, there are also seasons in which it coincides with those dates, so that it is not surprising that faith in the popular tradition should have survived so long.
TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION TO SOLDIERS.
It has been suggested to the Technical Education Committee of the Surrey County Council that it would be popular and useful if teaching was given in subjects specially suit able to those who are likely to enter the army or to become volunteers, such as first aid to the wounded in war, the hygiene of camp, field cookery, and the best methods of combating diseases like enteric fever and dysentery. The committee state that so long as such teaching does not trespass upon the field of physical exercises, drill, &c., they agree that, after due. consideration and the drawing up of a proper scheme under medical advice, it may be possible to take steps in the direction indicated.

SALE OF DANTE'S HOUSE AT MULLAZZO,
The house occupied by Dante ut Mullazzo, after he had been expelled from Florence, has lately been sold. It was th this house that the post wrote several cantos of the "Inferno, The hopes that, the Italian Government would intervene to save the venerable building from an ignominious end have not been realized. The house was knocked down to one Signor Guelf for the low sum of 2,100 lire. People are asking what the society known in Italy as the Dante Alighieri was doing to allow sbiy sale.

THE PHILIPFINE WAR.
AN AMERICAN VIEW.
The attempt to subdue the Filipinos goes on, unabated, with great carnage and no end in sight. Time and again General Otis has seat assurances that it was all over, and time and again it has flamed up, hot with the fitful fash of dying embers, but the lurid light of a fresh conflagration.
Forty-third Volunteers at Catubig, in which On May 1st came the news of the seige of the nineteen Americans were killed and two wound- ed. The survivors were in great straits when a relief party appeared and raised the siege,
May Ceneral Otis said in an interview just before leaving Manila for home: "You know take the sanguine view prevailing in certain I am rather pessimistic. I am not inclined to
quarters, yet I have held the opinion for a time that the thing is entirely over. I cannot see where it is possible for the guerrillas to effect any reorganization, concentrate any force or accomplish anything serious. We have 115 military pass north of Manila and 94 south of the city."
May 3 there was a desperate fight at Leam banao, in the center of the island of Panay, The Twenty-sixth Infantry was surrounded, four killed, and sixteen severely wounded were left on the field, and the survivors retreated, having a very narrow escape.

Great Britain, which has the smallest army of all the Great Powers, expends, roughly, £93 on each of her soldiers; Austria, with a war footing of over a million men, expends £45 per man: and Germany and France, the two military Pewers of Europe with the biggest armies, are equal with an in- dividual outlay of £43. Italy, with the second smallest army, spends 38 on every soldier she maintains; and Russia's cost is estimated at £37.

The people of the United States make policies and unmake them. The people have on hand this problem, lying at a great distance from them. They must face the truth as revealed by daily experience. 2. Tox much cannot be said in praise of the President's de- sire to get at all the facts. He has at no time been intolerant or disposed to pursue a per- sonal policy. His recent appointment of Judge Taft, a pronounced and vigorous- anti-expan sionist, to the chairmanship of the new Philip. pine Commission, is evidence of his purpose to give the issue ripe examination and to pre- vent that examination from being ex parte, The problem is the country's problem, and belongs no more to the President than to the people.

Walter Williams, a labourer, was at the County of London Sessions the other day sentenced to five years' penal servitude and four years' police supervision; George Stevens, a wheelwright, to four years' pénal servitude and three years' police supervision; and Jane Williams, a shop. keeper, to twelve months' imprisonment, for being concerned in a number of burglaries in Lewisham, Blackheath, and the neighbourhood, in which property to the value of over £800 was stolen. The male prisoners became acquainted while both were convicts af Dartmoor, and they there formed a scheme to steal a yacht, and then commit burglaries in riverside residences, the spoil to be hidden on the vessel.

legislative enactments were infinitely weak compared to these which had grown up under the impulse of the aspirations ant the instincts of the people whom they con- cerned. Mr. Chamberlain, in proposing the health of the Australian delegates, said that two cardinal points had emerged from their friendly negotiations with the Imperial Go vernment on which there was absolute unani- mity: the desirability of Australian federation, and the duty of the Imperial Government to watch over the interests of the Empire at large. Until the dream of an Imperial Council representing the interests of every part of the Empire had been fulfilled it fell to the mother land to act as trustee, as it were, for Imperial interests, and to guard the future of the Empire. Therefore it was that, with no arrogance of thought or expression, without, he hoped, the suspicion of any molive beyond the desire for the common weal, they asked that their right to be heard should be recognised whenever that trust was touched, whenever anything was proposed which even appeared to threaten its interests.
