He nas been all through the war and has done some of its most brilliant journalism. His description of the burgher generals at the peace con- ference makes interesting reading. Part of it is as follOWS : The delegates evinced little surprise during their railway journey at the evidences of the resuniption of indus- trial pursuits in all directions, as if there was neither war or unrest in the country. In conversation they betrayed no special interest upon any topic except in the matters of poli- tics, home and foreign. -They were polite enough, but evidently silent and distrustful as red Indian chiefs, of whom they put me more than once in mind. Officers and civilians who in kindness tried to engage them gave up the attempt. They were ta- ken to a stirring polo match in Pm.L toria, but they paid little heed to the game, and only answered now and then with a “Ja; Ja!” On the railway journeys they read little, passing the time for most part in smoking, talking to each other, and drinking. Poor Mr. Steyn seemed more down on his luck than any of the others on the way to Pretoria. He was nervous and out of sorts,and as he stepped out of the train his hat fell 03 more than once. But his eyesight is very badâ€"worse than I thought it. There is something more seriously wrong than an ordinary cold an inflamation. A local medi- cal man was called in and is proscri- blng for him. Within a few minutes of their arrival each party was con- veyed to a temporary residence. SAW THEIR 'FRIENDS Sentries were placed at the gate- ways of their abode. The soldiers in question were drawn from the escort or guard of honor. It was conceded that the Boers could see whomsoever they wished, or go where they willed, in company of an oflicer. The only understanding was that the delegat- es, unless by express consent, should not discuss politics or the war with their visitors. Scores of female relâ€" atives and a few of the sterner sex could be seen walking about daily in the garden or lounging upon the ver~ andahs and balconies and chatting with the Boer leaders. Delarey had visits from his daughter, who resides with her husband in Pretoria, as well as from old burgher friends. Doubt and suspicion clouded the Boer Gen- eral's mind as they did those of his colleagues, destroying frankness and easy intercourse.

With studied care the large draw- ing room for his work was tidied up, and many of the maps, books, pict- ures and papers were removed. But the large Dutch family Bible, the pride and ornament. of every Dutch household, held its old conspicuous place upon the centre of the great It was a sight to see how the delegates came in and peered about, gazing flatly at everything they saw, and wondering who. was hidden behind the curtains. But the were soon evidently all at their ease and talk proceeded. Louis Botha was table. an old acquaintance. and neither Lukas Meyer nor Schalk Burger ev- inced any retinence in discussing the cause of their visit. In short. the Boers showed they rather liked the opportunity of meeting and conversâ€" ing with Loud Kitchener,whereas it is. an open secret they had fear of Lord Milner. The latter arrived at Pret- oria on Sunday evening, and took up his abode at the British residency in Sunnyside district. Lord Milner subsequently met the delegates, in- dividually and collectively, at Lord Kitchener’s and at the residency. Evidently he got on good terms with the most of them, and in particular with the chief members of the Trans- vaal Government. It became hourly more evident that there was a seri- ous division of counsel among the Boers as to any further prosecution of the war. DELAREY FOR WAR The Transvaalers, with but one or two isolated exceptions, were for imâ€" mediate settlement of hostilities, ev- en to leaving Free Staters to them- selves. In the end,I believe, it has come to thisâ€"they are to have the dubious honor of being the last to come in and to give up the further useless, wanton spilling of human blood. Steyn, who is, I fear, break- ing up physically, voted for contin- uing the struggle, but his influence counts for little beside that of the pugnacious, plump, swart. saturnine Christian Dewet, who is the real bur- gher.master of the Free State. De- larey’s was practically the only belq licose‘voice raised for war to the hit- ter end from the Transvaal. Mr. Reitz~ the State Secretary, need not be too seriously considered. But let this justice be done to Gen. Delarey, who deserves the meed of honest men’s praise. ’ He said : “If the commandos or burghers accept the English flag I will abide by their ver- dict and come in, for I have done my duty. If not, I will die in the field, fighting for the old government and the old flag.” At last the voices of the Boer womenâ€"or, at any rate, a majority of themâ€"are now for peace. and that nas not been without its linduence for settlement in the delibâ€" erations.
