ant. The Daily Mails correspondent
at Coesburg has been inquiring re-
gardlng the matter. and on the whole
thinks the chances are against a ris-
ing. He bases his opinion on the pros
pect of good crops after four lean
years, which he believes will predis-
pose the farmers to peace. Neverthe-
less, there is serious disloyalty and
much anti-British agitation in these
districts, while the Free State Beers
threaten an immediate invasion of
Colesberg and Aliwal North.
The Daily Nails correspondent as
serts that Sir Alfred Miner is worked
to death and that Cape Town is surg
ing with bitter resentTent ut what is
called the Schreiner cSs.net's betrayal
of Mafeking by its constant refusal to
send a volunteer force to its relief.
Many residents of Cape Town have
relatives at Vryburg. and they are flu
rious with Me2srs. Merriam and Sauer.
respectively colonial treasurer and
commissioner of public works, and the
ministers are mobbed whenever they
appear in public Mr.. Hoffmeyr, the
Afrikander leader. has gone to the
country in order to escape the out
bursts of indignation.
On Sunday night the streets were
filled with angry citizens. and it was
feared that rioting would occur. This,
combined with the pressure of the i'm
perial government, brought the
Schreiner government to sense of
it's peril as well as of it's duty and
moved it to decide to call out the vol
unteers. The ministerial party also
worked it's hardest to prevent the ova
rival from Pretoria, but failed.

sympathy for the Roers.

From the World-Herald.
God has prospered these United
States of America. He has blest this
land of liberty with more bounteous
plenty and truer happiness than ever
monarchy or empire enjoyed. Let but
this country live true TO man in the
days of greatness and wealth as it fear
lessly did when adversely and penury
were its portion, and, GOD still with us,
we need not fear the frown or the guns
Of princes and potentstes. But when
principles and truth are abandoned for
lust of territory and greed of gain, then,
though the bejewelled hands of sin
daintily applaud and the friendship of
emperors and kings be ours, then, in
good sooth, will come for US days of
trembling as they came to Greece Sc
duced and Rome debauched.
If the United States senate expresses
sympathy with the Beers and with the
Firms, it will have done righteous act,
and will have proved that the Declare
tion of Independence is yet the funda-
mental law of this great people.

The Empire in Danger.

The London Times, an official organ
of the present English government,
commenting upon the situation, says.
'Neither the Crimean war nor the In
dian mutiny gave rise to greater dan
gers to the empire than that with which
we are now menaced, nor at either OF
those critical periods was Great Britain
SO isolated politically or regarded with
such dislike and suspicion as are now
most everywhere apparent.
"Unless the calmness which impresses
the foreign observer proceeds only from
apathy or want of sufficient imagina-
ton to realize the imminent danger 10
the whole faoric of our empire, the
great efforts now urgently required will
surely be made before it Is too late to
retrieve the situation. We are fighting
not merely for supremacy in South
Africa, but our position as great pow

the strength of our foe and we are re
solved to make that miscalculatlon

court took its swipe at the trustsit came
pretty near reversing the decision OF
Mark Hanna that there are no trusts,
and that if there are such things they
can not be found, and if they can be
found nothing can be done with them,
There is an irreconcilable difference
between Mark and the supreme court.
