sanction it, because the penalty was not sufficiently severe. A few years ago nothing would have been done about such a murder at all, but now the German emperor feels that his standing as a Christian monarch requires that justice be done."
 Bishop Hartzell was also greatly pleased with the extension of the rail- ways. Some man whom the bishop de- scribed as lone of the greatest men of the times" had shown the plans for next years extensions, to be constructed on the profits of this year. The bishop told the gentleman that he would pray for him. The bishop did not say that the man was Cecil Rhodes,s but those who listened to his remarks believed that Rhodes was the man meant. The coun- try had the richest diamond and the richest gold mines in the world and the railroads would enable the missionaries to carry the gospel to millions of black men who now, in their bewilderment, regard these arteries. of trade merely as the white mans foolishness."
 Speaking of the South African war, he said: Don't be alarmed about that war. It is simply one of the incidents in the history of the continent The Boers as a people are not fighting the British. Only small fringe at the north is disaffected Premier Schreiner takes pride In his loyalty to the queen. Out of that war will come unity I see it clearly, unity based on grounds of mutual respect The Boers in Cape Col ony are far better off than those to the north and those who are now fighting will be far better off when they are liv- ing under a truly republican form of government which they do not have now"
 It was announced that Bishop Hart zell had received extensive concessions from the British authorities in South Africa. He said he believed that he had been awarded the most extensive grant of land for missionary purposes ever made. He now wishes to secure $20,- 900 or $25,OOO a year to carry on the work

on Pretoria May Again be Delayed. l

London, April 3o.--5 a. m.-The only dispatch from Lord Roberts pupllshed yesterday was the usual list of deaths and sicknesses. The flood of neWspa- per dispatches to-day describing the re- cent operations throwns no light what ever upon the present position or af- fairs or upon the great question as to when the main advance is to begin The Standards announcement that General French's cavalry are returning to Bloemfontein is clear proof that there is no further hope of catching the retreating Boers, and the London pa pers are beginning to display impa- tience at the practical failure of the elaborate operations of last week.
 The Standards says: Tt is disheart- ening to find that these elaborate man. oeuvres have had so small result"
 The Daily Chronicle remarks We are reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts, but it is impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that during the last ten days we have gained very little from our enormous display of force"
 Without doubt these operations have been of a very exhausting nature and will entail further delay. The Bloem- fontein correspondent of the Times writing on March 3, after the Paarde- berg affair, describes Lord Roberts army as wreck because it was with out horses and without transports. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Post speaks now of the urgent need at present and always of more horses. There is very little news from other quarters.
