VICTORIA FOR PEACE.
WAR APPEARS MORE REMOTE
THAN a WEEK AGO.
The Queens Views Shared by all the
Cabinet Except Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain. TransvaaI has More to
Gain by Giving way to Great Britain.

London. Sept. 12.-War appears to
be more remote than a week ago, ow-
ing to the extraordinary reluctance of
the Queen to have the closing years of
her reign married by any sanguinary
struggle, such as fight with the Beers
would inevitably prove.
The Queens wishes are supported by
Lord Salisbury, Lord Cross and by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach. In fact, Colo
NAL Secretary Chamberlain. who is
known to be in favor of bringing the
Beers to terms by force without fur
ther delay, finds himself to such an
extent alone in the Cabinet in the mat
ter that there is no possibility of his
rushing things.
Queen Victorias moderating infiu-
ence in the present instance, and the
manner in which this venerable octo-
genarian ruler of such vast experience
has exercised her power in the inter
ests of peace is as remarkable as the
way in which her Lead has been &C

and according to dispatches Just re-
ceived from South Africa the more re-
sponsible element of the burghers OF
the Transvaal appreciate at its full
value the attitude of the aged Queen
and are anxious to meet ner views and
to further her efforts to come to an
agreement without war.
It is gradually dawning upon the
Beers that the jingo element in Eng
land and South Africa does not repre-
sent the entire British nation. and that
the Transvaal has more to gain by Civ
ing way to Great Britain in the matter
of suzerainty and franchise, in view of
the fact that the dutch element controls
the Legislature at Cape Town, than by
a bloody war, which must inevitably
end in their loss of independence and
their complete subsection.
