Boers Say They Will A Remain Firm On The Question Of Their Independence--Terms Of- fered By Britain Will Not Be Acceeded To. London, April 4.-Although the war office has not yet issued a report from Pietersburg concerning the shoot- ing of Boer prisoners Ly officers of the Bush Veldt carbineers, and various versions of the matter are current, the main fact that the prisoners were shot is beyond question. Australian reports say that the charge that the 'officers shot a missionary collapsed, un alibi being proved. The report that they looted the Boers' baggage in searching for the £20,000, the pris oners were said to have with them, and the further charge that they shot a number of natives, have not been conlirmed. A despatch Pretoria, dated vesterday, says acting president Schalkbarger, of the Transvaal, who is on a' peace mission to the Feee Staters in the field, is now in com- municaticn, with Steyn. from Bear Promise Of Success, Amsterdam, April 4.--A message has been received at the Boer headyuar- ters here giving détails of several Roer successes in the feld. At a meeting of Boers in Brussels, yesterday, the opinion seemed to prevail that a ces- sation of hostilities could not be thought of in view of England's con- tinued refusal to grant independenca to the South African republics. The Boer centre declares that the British demand that all the Boer leaders shall capitulate before the negotiations with acting president Schalkburger are opened will not be acceeded to un- til England guarantees a basis upon which the negotiations will bear pro- mise of success, The Boers will re- main firm on the question of their in- dependence.

London, April 4.-It is announced that the Weardale steel and coal com- pany has decided to consolidate and refpodel its work on American lines. It will expend £30,000 for an improv- ed plant, and will remove its works from Spennymoor to Cargofleet on the river Tee. The British ports that the consul at Havre re importations of Am- erican bituminous coal, which were notable in 1900, have now entirely evased, notwithstanding a reduction in freights, by which American coal can be delivered at Havre at practically the same price as British coal. The consul explains as the reason for this that the importers prefer British coal because it contains a greater proportion of larger pieces than the American, which is much more friable 'than the British and the method of loading in the United States. It is officially announced that the Marconi company has sold its United States rights and patents to an Am erican company with a capital of over $6,000,000.

The house on a division of eighty-five to sixty-two ap held the principle of not interfering with the decision of 8 committees, and defeated the motion to refer back. Col.
