may be said to be on in earnest. As
the incoming delegations increase il
is easier to determine how matters
stand and there is little to confute
the claims made by the Cummins
managers. Shortly after ten o'clock
the steering committee having in
charge the campaigns of Hartman,
Ierriott, Conger and Trewin went
into session TO consider the situation
and TO discuss informally the choice
Of man to be selected as the leader

Beers IN CAPE COLONY.
Possibility That the Last shot of the

correspondent Of The Daily Mail, il a
communication dated July l., places
The strength Of the Beers i'm Cape Col
ony between 1000 and 5000 men. al
most all of whom are rebels. The
Daily Mail contrasts this with the Off
cial statement not long ago that there
were only 1000. THE colonial au-
thorities,' the correspCN con-
tinucs. have just awakened to the pos
sibility that the last shot Of the war
may be fired in Cape Colony, and unless
vigorous efforts are put forth there is
nothing to prevent the Beers from
holding out another u months" \
communication to the Daily Express
of the same date says that the Boer
plan is TO make a final stand south of
the Orange river, and that they may
hold out for six months.
