talv Of state Reitz has issued war bull
lrtins. in which after saying the gov
eminent has no official tidings of the
surrender of Gen. Cr0nje but must ac-
ccpt it as a fact, however painful,
adds:
The government remains assured
that the surrender will not discourage
the burghers in their defence of their
indepcndencc ana standing as a ma
ton. The struggle. thus far, has
shown the republics have vindicated
themselves as an independent people.
This reverse will not stagger us. In
the struggle for our cherished rights
our belief remains that whatever hap
pens the Lord reigns.
owing to the invasion of the Free
state ny Il large force Of the enemy
and other circumstances, it became
necessary to take up other positions.
hence the burghers in Natal have re
tircd II Biggarsberg. All the com
mund4.s have reached there safely.

tinn Of Van Repne's pass Thus Lady

4i.grd. In retiring. the enemy was
time after time driven back, so that
ol1r laag,rs were not cut off. In these
fights 4 few men We're killed or
wounded. ana the enemy lost heavily.
In spite of all reports the spirit OF
the fighting men as to the outcome
remains unchanged Among the COM
mandocs in Natal the burghers are full
Of courage.

Commons. today. John Redmond, the
Irish Nationalist leader. declared that the
Irish people had received with Gratifica-
ton the announcements that Her Majesty

by the Irish regiments on St Patrick :
day. adding that the Irish people would
welcome this graceful recognition of the
valor Of the Irish race wherever exhibit
ed and would treat with respect the ven
cradle sovereign about to visit the Irish
shore well knowing that on that occasion
no attempt would be made to give the
visit any party significance. and that
their chivOlrous hospitality would not be
taken to mean any abatement of their
demands for national rights which they
would continue to press until conceded.
Mr. Redmond was loudly checred.
The government leader, A. J. BalfOur,
replying to 4 question. said the recon-
incubation for the formation of regi-
mpnt Of ROYAL Irish Guards. Of which the
first cOlOnelcy would be given to Lord
Roberts would be submitted to the Queen

sidered.

questions of great delicacy now pend
ing, we have to look forward to the
Presidential election. which is produc-
tive of political eccentricities unknown

The speaker also said he thought the
present moment was not 4 happy one
for 4 change.
In reply Lord Salisbury said Lord
Newton had done what the French
called Breaking in an open door, for
the measure which he recommended
had occurred. some days ago. The
premier added:
Il entirely agree with any eulogy
passed on Lord Pauncefote and | have
shown this in the course taken in eX-
tending his tenure of office. The only
observation which l have to make is
that the question implies that this eX-
tension is a reward for valuable SER
vices. | think it is rather the other
way.
1T is to Lord Pauncefote that we
have to express our thanks that he has
been kind enough to undertake the
work for another period. We have
every cause to express to Lord Paunce-
fote our gratitude that, at a critical
time and when his remarkable eXper-
fence and singular aptitude for the pc
cuiar duties of his office renders it de-
sirable that he should continue in it.
