"It ie to be expected that the Presi

will endeavor to secure peace through
diplomatic menus. They probably fully
understand by now thut there Is no pros
pect of a second Majuba Hill and thut if
peace comes before their governments
are wiped out, it must be achieved by
diplomatic negotiations. Just iiow this
is possible, however, in view of Great
llritiun'a positive declaration, I cannot
say. The note from the United States
enabled Lord Salisbury to plnv a strong
card at the right time. His declaration
Iiub done much to clear thu ntmosphere
for Great Britain and has shown the
world the intention of the British gov
ernment to deetroy the two Republics.
"Undoubtedly the governments of Eu
rope have discussed the prospect of com

certed action at present. It seems to
me that had the decision been at all
serious, action would have been inaugu
rated by tho other powers when the
English troops were in such a desperate
plight in South Africa. The Boers now
seem demoralized ; the English have an
Immediate force with which to conquer
them and it is hardly probable that the
rebuffs sustained some weeks ago by the
British troops will be repeated."

In a message to Irishmen nf Cape Town,

"I have always felt confident that the
spirit, courage and allegiance whicn
have distinguished the Irish soldiers in
the face of the enemy would not be
spared by tiieir bretbern in the Colony
in support of the authority of my gov

newspaper has been started at Bloem

Rudyard Kipling contributed to the in
augural edition the following lines:
O Terrence, dear, and did you hear
The news that's goin 'round?
The shamrock's Erin's badge by law '
Where'er her sons are found.
From Hloemlontein to Ballybank,
'Tis ordered by the Queen,

deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says : "I was taken with
Typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.

weak I could'nt even e!t up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle

say too much in its praise." This

New Yokk, March 19. T. P. O'Con
nor, M. P., in the London Daily Mail
writes :
"I am asked to state my views with
regard to the momentous announcements
as to the proposal by the Queen of the
wearimr of tho shamrock by Irish soldiers
and as to Her Majesty's visit to Ireland.
"As to the wearing of the shamrockj
it is a tribute to Irish natiomtlity which
will be greatly appreciated. The symbol
ical things ol life are all apparently in
themselves email things. Tiie shamrock
materially is a small plant, but the w ear
ing of it means to an Irishman centuries
of eacred memories and country's wron::?
resisted, hopes maintained. The sanction
of the wearing of It by the Irise soldier,
then, is a concef sion I had almost called
it a tremendous concession to Irish
sentiment by the British throne, which
must have vast consequences.
"But, Epeaking assuredly in no spirit
of carping objection, but as an illust:..
tion and a lesson, may I point out that
theconduct of English ministers towr 1
this 3mall question is a very remarka' 'e
and significant example of the slowness
and dullness of wit, the want of nnagina
tion, insight and sympathy which have
characterized all relations between Eng
land and Ireland? While the Scotch
soldier could wear the thistle without
interference, while the Welsh soldier
could wear the leek, the Irish soldier
year after year was sent by some 6tupid
officer to prison btcause he wore the
emblem of his nationality.
"And wtien an Irish member, BfESion
after session, called attention to the fact
in thu House of Commons, he was howled
at by many English members, and re
ceiveu eittier an abrupt or positive ans
wer from the minister. And now, after
all the bitterness of these years: after
the imprisonment and the snubs and all
the rest, the trouble is ended by order
of the highest and gieatest figure in the
realm. I will not say, as can be said
about so many other concessiono to Irish
feeling, 'Too late, too late,' but assuredly
tho concession has not come too soon.
"And now as to the visit of the Queen
to Ireland, I find this act a touching and,
if I may use the word, a statesmanlike
and eloquent proof, added to the many
others, that the present sovereign is one
of the wisest that ever ruled these lands."
