Lahuri's Questions.

NJ. Paleologue OF the French foreign
office, and Major Carwiere did not op-
pose NJ. Labori's application. But the
latter pointed out that the proposed
step would involve a deviation from the
usual procedure in making a long ad-
journment necess lry. Counsel replied
that the court was entitled TO adjourn
for forty eight hours, and in case
longer period was required, he sug-
gested that a short session be held to-
morrow when the court could acJourn
until Monday.
VI. Labori then drew up formal ap-
plication that Col. Schwarlzkoppen and
Major Panizzardi be cited as witnesses,
and that seven questions be teie-
graphed to them. to which they were
to reply under oath. The first question
was TO be. If they had ever received
the documents mentioned in the bor-
dereau. The other questions would ask
the former attaches IL they had re-
ceived the firing manual. when they
mad received 1t and from whom and
which OF them sent Esterhazy the Petit

ier of the Transvaal has an ominous
note of irritation and impatience. which
at such a critical stage can scarcely
be Interpreted as anything but defiance.
Both here and in Cape Colony the
tension and the arming continues.
Whether to~morrow's cabinet council
will afford immediate relief is still
a question of great doubt The more
conservative believe the cabinet will
only put n time limit upon the negoti-
ations and that the interim will merely
be n repet tion Of the anxious times
which have marked the past few weeks.
Cape Town advicas say that Afrik-
aniers regard the latest Boer reply as
evasive. while others regard IL as de-
signs a to entangie the two governments
in further negotiat ons. The average
opinion OF the Brit sh press is inclined
to regard II as the straw which would
break the back Of the most long Suf-
fering diplomatic camel.
