London. Oct. 29.-With the excep-
ton OF the unexpected activity OF the
Roers and the re-appearance before the
pubic OF statesmen supposed to be pos
litically dead: nothing has occurred
during the past week in England capa-
Bile OF disturbing the enthusiasm over
the homecoming of the city imperial
volunteers. The news OF the guerrilla
successes in South Africa which has
been received during the last few days
has prompted some OF the more serious
publications to sound notes OF alarm.
The Saturday Review bees LORD Rob-
lerts to take "a lesson from one who
was greater soldier than he, namely.
Caesar. and ruthlessy suppress the re-
jbellion''
The truest mercy in the present
case, says the Globe .'is to be merci-

reference to the war being long drawn
tout and engendering racial hatred that
will not dissipate
An encounter as dramatic as any that
marked the battletields OF South Africa
may shortly occur at Marseilles. The
plan OF Mr.. Cham berlain, the secretary
1of state for the colonies to go to Mar
settles to meet Mrs. Chamberlain, who
rs now at AiX-les- Baines will more
than probably be effected just at the
time that MIR. Kruger is arriving at the
same port on the Dutch cruiser Gelder-
Hand.
Judging from the tone of public opin-
lion, the simultaneous arrival Of the two
leading figures in the late world drama
would afford opportunities for demon
STATIONS not too pleasant for Mr.
chamberlain and which might possibly
cause International complications that
would be hard to settle peaceably.
What is freer from supposition, and
perhaps more vitality concerns Great
Britain. is Lord Rosebery's re-appear-
ance before the public and his enuncia-
|ttor OF a new definition Of Imperialism.
i Speaking Friday before meeting OF
the Christian Social Union this volatile
and brilliant figure in British politics
struck note which meets with unit
Eversal approval from all sections Of the
liberals. even those who were most Bit
terry opposed to the former leader.
