london, Sept. S-The week has been
prolific Of discussion, but, though the
main questions of international and ma
tional interest appear to be profiting by
the general desire for peace, which re-
mains the strongest factor of interna-
tional politics and appears to bike ap-
sroaching a solution, that they have not
yet reached the point of finality which
Great Britain so earnestly desires in or
der that she may attend TO her private
concerns, Among the latter stand out
most prominently the South African
question and the general election. BY
help of the desire for peace dominating
all nations, Great Britain has been en-
abled to achieve without hindrance the
formal annexation of the South African
republics. which, as q cabinet -sIInister
declared last year, would an 'unmiti-
gated misfortune." Lord Roberts proc
lamation, however, has not advanced

tober election and the return TO England
Of Lord Salisbury during the coming
week Will probably be speedily followed
by a definite pronounement OF the date
Of the dissolution as well as OF British
views on the far eastern matters.
Among the interesting features Of the
election news is the movement on the
part OF the liberal unionists TO return TO
