The land was a thirteen-acre tract in San Francisco, taken for use of the government as a fortification, and the Fremonts were never given any pay there- for. In view of the fact that Mre. Fre- mont is old and incapacitated and living quietly in Los Angeles, a movement has been atarted to have the government pay her for the land.

Delgnan is still connected with the navy. of the Seventh district to fix time and place for the convention has been set for the 14th.

HOLD PEACE Leader of Boe: it will CONFERENCE Confers with Kiteh- LONDON, May. 12.—The Times this morn- ing relates the course of the peace mne- gotlations as follows: On receipt of the Dutch correspondence, intimating that Great Britaln wae ready to listen to proposals from the Boers In the fleld, Acting President of the Trans- vaal Schalkburgher came to the lines and asked permission to consult with Mr. Steyn, tormer president of the Orange Free State. This led to the Boer delegates golng to Pretoria. Their first proposal to Leord Kitchener and Lord Milner, the British high commis- sioner in South Africa, was that the re- publics should merely concede all the de- mands made by Great Britain regarding the tranchise, etc., before the war. The government {u reply referred them to Middleberg conference as the maximum of possible concessions and refused per- mission to the Boers to consult their triends in Europe. Eventually while refusing an armistice, Lord Kitchener undertook not to molest the burghers whiie they were actually hold- ing meetings with the commanders to au- thorize the leaders to negotiate on the basis of independence, but they were told it was useless to return to Pretoria with- out being armed with full power to ne- gotiate. Mr. Schalkburgher assented to this, but Mr. Steyn's acquiescence seemed doubtful. Mall advices from Pretoria, continues the Times, declare that Lords Kitchener and Milner promised generous compen tion for burned farms, raised no difficulty with regard to the pardon of banished leaders and gave assurances that the ques- tion of amnesty for rebels did not present insuperable difficulties. The Times in an editorial on this fea- ture, is not hopeful that peace will be the outcome, and fears that the election of a member of Parliament for Bury, Lancash- ire, will influence the Boers to further re- sistance. In the election for Bury, announced from London yesterday, George Toulmin, lib- eral, secured a majority of 414 votes. At the last election in Bury, in 1900, the con- servative majority in the district was 195. IRON WORKERS GET A RAISE Pittaburg Strikers Get Eighteen Per Cent Advance and Will Re- sume Labors.

Fore: It has been estimated, says the New | ) York Sun, that the telegraph lines of the country require nearly 600,000 new poles every year. The cost of these is more than §1,000,000, It is also estimated that there are more | than 620,000,000 crossties in use by the rallroads and that 90,000,000 ties are re- quired every year for renewals. The telephone and light companies use nearly as many poles as the telegraph | companies, and the street car systems nli the citles use nearly as many crossties as | the sieam railroads. To awaken the farmers of the west to the need of raising plantations of wood to supply these needs of telegraph, tele- phone and railroad companies, the forestry division of the Agricultural department has issued a bulletin to show that such work is profitable. The prices of pole and tle timber have gone up nearly 60 per cent in the last ten years. J. Hope Sutor of the Ohio & Littie Kanawha rallroad, an expert on the tle question, told the Central Assoclation of Rafiroad Officers in Loulsville a year ago that In ten years more the prices of ties would be 50 per cent greater than at pres- ent. He also sald: “No material bas yet been found as o substitute for the _wooden tle, and no satistactory economical method of preserv- ing the life of the wood or prolonging | its durability has yet been dlscovered, and, excepting the minor questions of properly | seasoning and plling, the use of the tie plate, sultable ballast and perfect drainage, and incidentally climatic conditione, no se- rious consideration of ‘the future tie sup- ply has yet been had.” It is for this reason the experts say: “From every reasonable point of view it appears that great profits are to be made, in the growing of forest trees in the next twenty-five years.” It is declared that operations should begin in the middle west. There has al- ready been a great deal of tree planting on the treeless prairies of the central west, especially in Kansas and Nebraska. The forestry experts have found onme planta- tion near Hutchinson, Kan., planted with catalpa trees, which In ten years has pro- duced a net value of $197.55 to the acre. In Towa, near Menlo, a 25-year-old plan~ tatlon of red cedar showed a met value of $200.54 to the acre. Osage orange, lo- cust and hardy catalpa are the best trees to grow-for these commercial purposes. THE HEAVIEST LOCOMOTIVE., First of a Bunch of Leviathans on the Santa Fe. There was recelved at the Chicago shops of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe sy tem during the early part of the past week the first of a large order given the Amer- | fcan Locomotive company for unusually | heavy locomotives Gesigned for service on the mountain division of that iine. The de- | sign is a conception of Third Vice Presi- dent Kendrick of the Santa Fe, who be- lieves that this type of engine represents | the solution of the problem of increased trainload capacity of that portion of the line on which it is to be operated. The lo- | comotive is by many tons the heaviest yet constructed and will be immediately tested | on the mountain diviston.
