The San Francisco Call remarks :
"While the British have been
rejoicing over the relief Of Nafeking
Russia has managed to gain another
cOaling port in COrsa. Thus while
the British are struggling to hold
their own the Russians are going
ahead. and when Salisbury gets

The Political situa-
ton in England.

The great successes Of Lord ROb.
srts in the Transvaal, leading up to
the final triumph and the raising of
the Union Jack over Pretoria, have
necessarily had considerable effect
on the political situation in Eng.
land.
This is especially true Of the ques-
ton Of whether or not there shall he
an early dissolution of Parliament.
The Conservative Party naturally
wishes to remain in power and many
Of the leaders of that party believe
that now is the time to appeal to the
country, before the enthusiasm of the
people over the successful termina-
ton of the War in South Africa has
had time to cool.
They argue that by dissolVing Par
lament now and holding elections
this fall, the Conservative Party il
assured of an overwclming triumph,
and such an increased majority az
to give it long new lease of power.
Time was, and not so long ago,
when things looked very different.
The repeated and unexpected defeats
inflicted upon the British forces by
the hitherto deSpiSed Beers, together
with the gross military mismanage.
ment which was apparent on all sides,
had aroused great popular discomfort.
The people were murmuring and
declaiming against the Government,
holding it responsible for all the dis
asters to British arms.
Had general election been held
at that time, there is little doubt
that the Salisbury Ministry would
have been swept from power
But the scene has shifted. Thou.

were poured into South Africa, inc
Ompetent Generals were relegated
to the rear, and General Roberts, in
spite of his age, went out to assume

more nervous organization, they are in

sooner than she should, and drags hel

The delicate nervous organization Of

eign governments, it was within the
power of the senate alone to determine
who should be admitted to its floor.
Mr.. Teller said that we had already
recognized the South African republics
and had sent diplomatic representatives
to them.
Mr.. Davis said that he did not know
that anybody had ever denied the
South African republics were inde
pendent countries. But that is not the
question" said he. 1T is a fact that
neither of these states has ever before
attempted to send diplomatic repre-
is also a fact that the United Staes
has neve rsent diplomatic representa-
tives to them"
"It has sent counsels," interjecte
Mr.. Tillman.
That is just the mistake the senate
makes" replied Mr.. Davis. "A consul
is not a diplomatic officer. The situa-
tion is just this: The South African -
publics have sent commissioners who
are diplomatic representatives to the
United States. They ask to enter into
international relations with us If a
certain nature and for cerla'n
action by this government. Before any
consideration of this matter can be en-
