The Assoclated Press is informed from excellent sources that no offer of media- disappeared from the British | tion would be accepted by Lord Salisbury ymments of the foreign pa- | in any shape or form. The popular con- ception of peace is that it must come through the idol of the army, General Roberts, and his no less adored chief of staff, General Kitchener. The country is preparing to walt indefinitely for that event. The fall of Kimberley, Ladysmith | and Mafeking would not make a particie | of difference, for this sfoical resolve is | thoroughly imbedded In the hearts of the people, who for the first time in the mem- ory of this generatian have drank deeply of the cup of military defeat and disgrace Any other defeats that the future hoids for Britaln, except entire annihilation, are anticipated by the scathing critlcism which the nation has inflicted upon itself. Estimates of the duration of hostilities vary from three months to a year. The lack of news this week has by no means been taken as an instance of the adage regarding no news. A very general impression prevalls that Kimberley will succumb. An officer of the British South African Company, who has an intimaie knowledge of South Africa, says he be- lieves that if the Boers capture Cecil Rhodes they will shoot him. Nowhere other than on the Stock Ex- change has the lack of information caused excitement or nervousness. It is realized that if Kimberley falls De Beers mine shares and interests will shrihk to noth- ing, while the Chartered Company's vast issues will lose what little bottom they have left.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 23.-An important railroad deal which has been pending for some time was concluded yesterday when the Baltimore and Ohlo Raflroad Com- pany purchased for cash the Mononga- hela River Railroad. Possession of the new property will pass in April next. The road is sald to have cost $2,000,000 ten years ago, and the price paid is reported to have been $5,000,000. Ex-Senator John- son N. Camden and his assoclates, who owned the rallroad, made the sale. In the sale to the Baltimore and Ohlo Railroad the Monongahela Company maimains the coal interests, which in- clude over 20,000 acres of coal lands lo- cated in the Falrmont and Monongah districts of West Virginia. ,The rallroad runs from Fairmont to Clarksburg and unites the line of the Baltimore and Ohio system running to Chicago.

PASADENA, Dec. 23.—This city’s an- nual tournament of roses, to be held Jan- uary 1, 1900, promises to be the most suc- sful yet held. It will be the eleventh of the series. The idea originated with the Valley Hunt Club, an organization of society people, who met at intervals to follow the hounds. On each New Year's morning since 1889 there has been a grand parade of vehicles and equipages, pro- fusely decorated with flowers plucked from the plants and bushes that wave In the soft winter breezes. On the coming occasiont there will be afternoon sports in | a fleld near the town, consisting of ath- letic contests, horseracing, rough riding and novelties. Prizes are offered for the best features in the parade and for the events in the afternoon. After the Valley Hunt Club had given several successful tournaments the peo- ple of the town took the enterprise off its hands, and since then it has been a public demonstration of the pride and loyaity of the citizens. The Tournament of Roses Association was formed, comprising the moest enterprising business men and most loyal citizens. Officers are elected annu- ly to promote the tournament. There are now about 30 members of the associa- tion, each paying $ initiation fee and $2 5 per vear dues. In addition to this there |1s an independent subscription fund, Iib- erally supported. There is nothing obliga- tory In the association or the tournament. Public spirit is depended upon to insure the payment of dues and contributions. Any one delinquent is not expeiled the a soclation, but is allowed to remain under coals of fire. This plan has proved so successful that there Is always a balance 1; l:lhe treasury after the annual bills are aid. The officers R. 'nif the association for 1900 are: H. rtal, president; C. W. Smith, first presiden James H. Campbell, s vice president; P. M. treasurer; Theodore Coleman, sec- . Rowland, C. M. Davis, . E. and Frank P. Boynton, directors; Martin H. Waight, directof general. ‘The director general has all of the work on his hands, and reports to the board and is by them instructed when necessary. He has been at the head of af- fairs for two or three years, and is a most successful organizer and promoter. A large number of invitations have been issued to schools, lodges, municipal bod- ies, leading hotels, etc. The decorations are to consist principally of floral designs.
