LONDON, MAY S.-A very uncomfortable
feeling exists in England over the prospect
OF another Boer war, which may involve the
disappearance or GoSchen'S surplus, besides
being very uncertain as to results Small
wars deVour SURPRISES in . way that BRITISH
TAX payers are beginning to appreciate, and
they do not view the likelihood or certainty
OF Boer struggle with the same patience
that they look upon the Manipur campaign
Inc expense OF Indian wars IS borne pf
india but England must carry the burdee
IN Africa. The struggle seems inevitable
however. at whatever cost, and the was'
otfice is engaged in preparing for it. The
friends of peace arc already discussing some
way Of getting out OF the difficulty, and but
one way is apparent, and that is to permit
the Beers TO establish their new republic
under the queen. This will proba bly, be tie
outcome OF the affair after j SkirniSh or
Two between the troops and the Dutch.
CAPT. VERNEI ENJOYING HIMSELF.
Capt. Nerney is said 10 be enjoying him
self in jail, so far as physical comforts are
concerned, although nobody who has seen
the man doubts that he is under terrible
mental strain. 1t is talked Of as most Se-
mar6aple instance OF Hyde and Jeykea
III generation. Verney had an excellent
side TO his character. He was foremost fin
genuine work OF philanthrophY and charity.
His friends say he is insane on certain sdb-
jects. Common people look upon him as an
accomplished scoundrel, who has not re
ceived the tithe OF his deserts.
Il is said that his wife stands by han.
Under English law she could not procure 4
divorce if she wished to, as he has bot
been cruel 10 her personally. She has ian
independent estate i'll her own right.
Unlike Valentine Baker, Verney is 200

wipe out the past.
4 German officer, under the circnm-
sta noes would have committed suicide
English society is Just now rife With
wretched scandals, in some instances in
vOving other men as high as Capt Ver3ey.
THE KAISER SHOULD HAVE VIEWED If
Perhaps if the kaiser could have takesl Il
look at thes.garrison of Paris when reviewed
the other day by Gen. SauSSier he might
be- less anxious 10 court n conflict with
France. The object of the review was 10
enable the general commanding TO satisfy
himself of the degree of proficiency and
Soldiery bearing of the troops UNDER the
three years service system now in opera
ton. The men INSPECTED may be roughly
set down us having had eighteen months
service. the troops making up total of
about 1900 men, 5000 being infantry.
They took up their position in admirable
order. and what the French describe rs
their ''tenue militaire'' was perfect. They
were formed in square of parallel lines,
infantry first. artillery next and cavalry
last.
On Gen. Saussier's arrival the Whole
force advanced at quick step TO about 200
yards of the general, drums and Bugles
beating the charge, and then esented
arms. The general salloped along the front
of the large square, each line facing about
as ne passed it, the bands playing the
'.Marseillaise" march as ne passed. -
The troops showed excellent discipline,
and the service of the artillery especially
attracted comment.
The guns used smokeless powder, which
quite deserves its name.
