Notwithstanding its being Sunday. almost
every American in Paris seemed TO have put

cess in capturing two pompons the Beers are
not unlikely 10 continue the aggressive tactics
which they have recently adopted.
The situation in South Africa is far from salts

lieved that the Beers are gaining many recruits
from the Dutch districts Of Cape Colony. and in
spite OF Mr. Chamberlain's calm assertion that
the embers Of war only smouldering it
looks very much as if they had burst into flame
A question will shortly be put from the Lib
eral benches in the House of Commons as to the
intentions Of the government in reference TO the
proposed suspension of the constitution in Cane
Colony. There is a general belief that Mr.
Chamberlain and Lord Miner will hesitate be-
fore taking this step. Lawyers are Of the opin-
ion that the only way il could legally be ac-
complished would be by an act of Parliament
and in the present state OF public business the
government viii scarcely care TO invite opposi-
