Gables from South Africa report that n
balloon has been seen high in the air
passing out towards some of the Boer
s%trongholds. If the report be true the
balloon is probably one of those sent out
some time ago for use by the English
forces. These war balloons have each
10000 cubic feet capacity and are filled
from steel cylinders containing the neces-
sf!y gas under pressure. In addition to
the balloon corps for observation pup
poses the English authorities have made
arrangements for the rapid erection of
high observation towers. from the top
of which. it is hoped. the hiding places
of the Beers may be spied out.

The purchase of Il large number of
horses in the United States for the use
of tile English army in South Africa is
made necessary by til. fact that even
with the elaborate horse registration sys-
TEN i'll force in Great Britain it is i'm
possible to secure all the animals needed
for immediate service at home. In time
of peace the military Establishment of
England requires for its use a total of
1880 horses. In time of war this total
jumps at once to 2S.Tl9. Horse buyers
for the army are now ut work. not only
in this country but also in Canada, in
Australia and in Austria.
\ new problem is pressing for solution
on the Pacific coast. 1t promises to be-
come even more serious than the "Chin-
csc question:" According to the census
of 1890 there were mt that time 2.O39
''Japs' in the United States. Since then
the immigration has steadily increased
until the total number of japanese who
came to the United States in the fiscal
year 1899 was 1896. To-day, according
TO the estimate of the Japanese consul
Mt San Francisco, there are no less than
10000 "Japs'' in this country, most of
them on the Pacific coast.
In one way. and that Il financial one.
the Drcyfls trial at Renncs was u direct
benefit TO France. All the telegraph and
telephone lines in the republic belong to
the Government, and the great demand
for news of the trial increased the re-
ceipts from kilograms $4,000 and from
telephone messages 100000 while the
| case was on. 80
The popular idea that all South Africa
is not far removed from sayagery is con-
tradictcd by the fact that in Cape Colony
| alone there are G,GOD miles of telegraph
poles, carrying many times that number
of miles Of wire.

Looks More Serious.
London: The London CORRESPONDENT of

following: Tie general British situation

the vigorously censored dispatches pub

claniation amncXing the northern section

here, but am in Il position to state it has

The annexed territory have already risen
in arms against the British government
and Steyn's proclamation is intended to
relieve them of the consequences of their
revolt.
This is the first symptom of Il race war
in Cape Colony, which has been strcnu-
Dusly declared impossible by Chamberlain
and the jingoes, but is regarded by all sane
men us Il sure outcome OF the attack on the
independence OF the Transvaal. Miner

the Cape Dutch in the disatfcctcd region
that Steyn's proclamation has no effect m

British crown.
The gravity of the position is indicated
by tile measures taken to suppress all
