London, April 14.---An interesting discovery is reported from Norway, bearing upon both Norse and Anglo Saxon history. Three hundred feet from _the seashore on the coast of Northfjord there has been dug wp from a hillock remnants of a burned ship and the bones of a female skele- ton, and of a horse with a weapon and parts of armor and objects of adornment. The style of them all in dicates that they belong to a later riod than the iron age, when the Viking raids were chiefly directed to- ward the west of England and Ire land Thus it is once more proved that in the Viking epoch women lived as warriors, and that it was the custom for the Norse Vikings to burn the corpses of prominent warriors en their ships.

What Has Passed. London, April 14.--~Replying in the house of commons, to-day, to the li | beral leader, Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman, who asked whether any terms of peace had been' suggested by the Boer leaders in South Africa, the governinent leader, A. J. Balfour, said more than that a message had been received, on Saturday, from the Boer leaders through lord Kitchener and that a reply had been sent to them. Further communication was expected.
