LONDON, May 7.-Speaker Peel announced
in the Commons to-day the conviction and

Replying to question in regard to the re-
ported Boer trek" being prepared for the

otner South African territory tor the pur-
pose of establishing a sO-called Republic
of the North" the War Secretary init
mated that troops were being sent to
British Bechuanaland to oppose the pro-
posed "trek." This announced movement
of Beers and intimated eOunter-m0vement Of
British troops in Beehuanalaud seem TO be
the prelude to another little war" in
South Africa.
1t is understood the force which the Beers
intend to assemble is 10000 men. 1t will re-
QuIre many more British troops than are now
available in South Africa to make any
practical stand against this force, as the
Beers are dead shots and capable Of suffer

Baroness Rothschild Said to Be the Prime
Mover in Hirsch's Scheme.
LONDON, May TIT transpires now that
the Baroness Rpthschild was really the
prime mover in the matter of raising a great
fund to provide for colonizing the expelled
Russian Jews. Baron Rothschild was but
little impressed with Baron HirSch's en-
thusiasm on the subject until the Baroness
became interested. The HiIsch scheme was
then widened out into what may be called
a race project, ali the wealthy and intiuen
tial Hebrews in Europe and America being
more or less interested.
1t is understood that the Rothschilds have
not named any limit to the amount they are
willing to contribute TO the enterprise, and
that they practically stand in the position OF
having guaranteed to make up whatever
deficit there may be after all others have
subscribed
There can hardly be a doubt that under
this arrangement they will ultimately be-
come the heaviest contributors. Baron
