One thing seems certain, that the
Beers must finally be beaten in a war If
England succeeds IN mass'ng her whole
force there. The only question IS
whether the English will succeed in
bringing their doubtless overwhelming
force to bear. That cannot be foreseen,
Serious development may arise at anv
time in other places krom this point
OF view, she may postpone the war until
she is well prepared for it. The COM
mencement however, of hostilities
without declaration OF ar must still
be feared as before. In this case, OF
course, the Beers would be in the wrong
from the standpoint of International law.

Hot Springs, Ark, Favored
by Grand jury.

Hot Springs, Ark, April 15.-The end
has come in less than one months time
in the recent street duel in which five
lives were lost, and there will be no
hangings. Not even one of the accused
go to Jail. The coroner's jury charged

fey Williams; Ed Spear and VIII Watt,
deputy sheriffs, with numbering Chief

Gosslee, Detective j. e. Hart and Louis
Hinkle, and all furnished bonds. The
grand jury, which has been in session
