New York, NoBs lS.-A despatch to the
Tribune from London says: Lord Sal
isbury has visited the queen to take the
unusual step of sumrnoning parliament
to meet in the last month of the year
The announcement, however, occasions
little surprise, as it has been generally
understood that owing to the prolonga-
ton of hostilities in South Africa, the
government is badly off for money before
the passage of another budget The esti-
mate of the cost of the war by the chan
cellor of the eXchequer of ten million
pounds framed a year ago, has already
been many times added to. His latest
estimate amounted to about 70,000Oo0
pounds. 1t was based. however, on the
supposition that by September the re-
sistance of the Beers would have been
completely at an end and the troops
Withdrawn from the Transvaal. Sir
Michael Hicks Beachs expectations have
been fulfilled. and it will be necessary to
draw heavily on the next budget. The
cost of the Boer war lis estimated now at
1O0.O0O.0O0 pounds.
