HOPE OF PEACE GONE.

aims Foes for More Potent Warfare
More Men Now at War.

The Beers have already formed the
opinion that their independence is as
sailed, writes a correspondent, and have
put the question of peace, except coupled
with that Of sacrifice. beyond hope. The
decision to send the captured Beers to
st. Helena makes it certain that the
Beers will not surrender except in, the
last extremity. The average burgher pre-
Iers death to exile. Gen. Cronje's sur
render, instead of being the crushing blow
which it at first seemed, really works to
the ultimate benefit Of the federals. The
Beers have more men in the field to-day
than at any time before. England's only
hope Of %conqucring lies in her vast re-
sources, but these are minimized by Boer
tactics. If fought to a finish the war is
certain to result in appalling loss.
Owing to the shortage of arms and
ammunition the latter is manufactured
for use by he Beers. Their artillery is
stronger than when the wal began, Ow-
ing to the capture Of British guns. The
English artillery is tolcrably served, but
does little damage. a prominent military
attache thinks six months the lowest
probable duration of the war. The Beers
will probably continue to fight ever if

occur for u long time yet.
Recover from Tenn porary Panic.
The relief of Lndysmith and Kimber-
ley and Gen. Cronie's disaster coming to-
gether caused the Beers to become panic
stricken, and they temporarily abandoned
Bloemfontein. Had Lord Roberts been
able to follow up his successes the war
might have been ended now. but the
British reached Bloemfontein utterly flag
gcd out and recupcration was absolutely
necessary. This afforded time for the
Beers to recover promptly from the pam
IL, and they took IL full md renewed de-
termination to resist to the bitter end.
On the whole. the military situation
is not necessarily more unfavorahlc to
the Beers than two months ago. There
are several reasons for this. The re-
serves have been weedcd out and fighting
commands are now composed of resolute
men. AS the war progresses the Beers
learn rapidly and are fighting with great
ser skill. The progress of the war has

FUTURE OF BUSINESS WOMAN.
Retirement of Women from business a
Cause for Congratulations.

Retirement of Women from Business a
Cause for Congratulation.
Edward Box writes in the Ladies'
Home Journal that women, having
proven themselves incapable of meet
ing the demands of modern business,
are rapidly being replaced by men.
Naturally, the question arises in the
mind: What will become of these WON.
en-! The answer is that they will &C
back whence they came-into the home
as domestic helpers. This is n distinct
aus for congratulation. 1t means the
withdrawal of Il vast number of WON.
en- from duties for which they We're
never intended, and from q commercial;
atmosphere which, in reality, is dis.
tasteful to the sensitive feminine mind
and fine womanly temperament. 1t can
be most definitely stated that the vast
majority of women in business to-day
have absolutely no taste for it. They
are there simply because necessity
drove them to it. They have done them.
selves little good; and let it be said in
all possible kindness, and yet perfect
frankness, they have done business
even less good. With here and there
an exception, women have seldom
Sisen above subordinate positions, and
argue the question as we will the
standard of wages has unquestionably
been %perceptibly lowered. This alone
has kept numberless young men from
marriage. Again. it has certainly done
the health of women no good; on the
contrary, it has filled our %rcst-cures,
sanitariums and hospitals to the doors.
1t has been an unnatural condition of
affairs. But, like all movements, it has
worked its good upon the home. Upon
that it has had a most salutary effect,
and it is impossible to overestimate its
f~ar-reaching and beneficial influence in
that respect. AS in all other things in
life, we move in 81 circle, and we gener-
ally return to the point whence we
started-back to first principles"

THE CASE OF MR.. ROBERTS.

clear that the House acted within its pow
er in refusing to swear Roberts in pending

say that they would vote for a resolution

him his seat in the first instance, for the
reason that under the Constitution we can
only eXpel a member for an act committed
