THE POWERS. — | The South African Republics; Have asked EuropeanGov- | ernments to Interfere APPEAL FROM KRUGER. The Boer President Turned to Hoiland Switzerland and Belgium as Well as to the Great Nations. AMERICA MAY MEDIATE. The Hague, March 12.—It is learned from a reliable source that President Kruger, through the consuls at Pre- toria, has appealed for the interven- tion of the great powers in the Trans- vaal war, and has also appealed to the governments of Belgim, Holland and Switzerland. Washington, March 12—There is reason to believe that the United States government is using its good offices to restore peace between Great Britain and the South African repub- This has not taken the shape That to ae lies. of a proffer of mediation. would be distinctly repugnant Great Britain, and, according to the rule of international law which has- without -exception, governed the State department in the past. it could not be volunteered by the United States until it was known to be ac- ceptable to both parties to the war. But the United States might very properly serve as an intermediary to transmit an appeal for peace and the terms upon which peace can be se- cured. The united States has suc- cessfully served in this capacity in the past, notably in the termination of the China-Japanese war, and it is believed its good offices in this line are now being extended. If this belief] is well founded then Adelbert Hay, United States consul to Pretoria. has been the instrument for transmitting to the British gov- ernment, through the double inter- vention of the State department and Ambassador Choate, an application from President Kruger and Presi- dent Steyn to be informed as to the terms upon which the war can be ended. The faetsin the case will be fully developed in a day er two. Baron Gevers, the new minister from the Netherlands, was officially received to-day. He brings authen- ticated copies of the three treaties embodying the agreements of The ‘agua peace conference, which he will file with the State department. Baron Gevers gave out the follow- ing authorized interview last night: “The Boers are brothers of the Hol- § landers and the two peoples are bound by the strongest ties of blood and intercourse. Iam not aware ofany negotiations between European powers looking toward intervention. If some nation on terms of cordial intimacy were to begin the negotia’ tions and open the way I feel con- vineed that all Europe would further the plan. ee The Republican Financial Policy. New York News. That the national bankers are a favored class is made apparent by even the most cursory examination of their position. Under the newcur- rency act they will be able to take out $1,000 worth of notes for every $1,000 worth of bonds that they de- posit with the Treasury, so that they practically will do business on the credit of the government alone. The money originally invested in the pur- chase of the bonds is again in the shape of notes. On the bonds deposited as security for the notes, the bank receives inter- eat. and the notes it loans out at in- terest also, so that on money invest- ed in the business double interest is received, thanks to the kindness of the government. Were the government to issue its own notes direct to the people it would save the amount it paystothe banks at interest on the bonds and it couldeven require the banks to pay it for the use of whatever notes they might need for their customers. The only thing that makes notes of the banks valuable is the cuaran- tee of the government that they shall } be redeemed, so that the banks are/ ; actually being paid for making use| of something for which they ought to | be obliged to pay.

An interesting work with deaf chil- dren is being done under the direction of the supervisor of music in the De- troit public schools. A class from which the best results are obtained consists of about six pupils. The chil- dren gather around a piano, resting their hands and in some cases their arms upon the instrument. Soon after a piece is started the children will be- gin to count in correct time with the music, catching the accentuation of beats through the vibration of the wood. Occasionally a child would seem to progress beyond the mere response to time and count aloud with some ap- proximation to the tune, says the Buf- falo Express. When this fact was observed by the teacher the pupils were told to repeat the words “baby, baby,” over and over and at the same time a lullaby was played on the piano. In a short time it was noticed that nearly all the children with whom the experiment was tried indicated the air with more or less dis- tinctness. Still another experiment was tried by singing the scale into tho ear of a boy and playing it on the piano. After a few trials the pupil was able to sound the notes as well as could many children with unimpaired hearing. ‘These tests seem to indicate that sing- ing with some degree of accuracy may be taught to most deaf children. If such proves the fact anew pleasure and a new educative influence will come into their lives. FUNNY ENOUGH TO READ.
