larger than anybody has ventured to
forecast. the figures are not likely TO
be reduced in the budget.
The total cost Of the BOer war has
been concealed by various devices, but
It will exceed R13O.oOO,O00. A proml-
nent Liberal has asserted that the ag-
gregate would be over f140, 900 II the
accounts could be closed at once. For
this reason the supporters Of the gov
ernment are now awaiting the budget
speech In a spirit Of optimism. The
effect OF that speech will, however. be
less discouraglng II they can assert that
the bottom has been reached and that
the war has ended.
The "Kaffir circus" shares are ris-
ing day by day owing to Lord Kitchen
er's success and there is evidence of
marked revival OF speculative activ-
lty. The operators are forecasting a
great boom in South African stocks as
a sequel to the war, but they are as
sumlng that the mine owners will not
be heavily taxed for the benefit Of
British taxpayers. But Sir Michael
Hlcks-B has a sharp eye fixed on
the only available assets Of South
Africa. The Kaffir circus may be in less
festive mood after the budget speech.
That speech may unmake the market
now under careful manipulation.

RuMoRs OF SURRENDER.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-Tha London
correspondent Of the Tribune cables
that, although no official information
mas been issued with regard to the
matter. he learns from a good source
that General Louis Botha, the Boer
mmander-in-chief. has surrendered to
the British, thus commemorative Ma
tuba day in the same manner as Gen
eral Cronje did twelve months ago.
II the war office authorities can see
their way to confirm the news there
will be great rejoicing throughout the
British empire. Commandant De Wet
must still be reckoned with. however,
and until he can be persuaded to lay
down his arms hostilities must proceed.
The London Chronicles report that
Botha has surrendered is considered
significant because II will be remem-
bered Botha declined to treat through
an intermediary and said he would ap-
plv direct to Lord Kitchener when he
wished to surrender. The absence of
news about De Wet would seem to sug-
gest that he has again got away, and
as the Orange river is falling he may
be able to make good his escape out of
Cape Colony.
Lord Kitchener reports General
French's successes with such coolness
that only the British military experts
comprehend the significance of the bull
letins. The additional captures include
war material, horses and cattle Wheth-
er these were made by Botha or Mey-
ers, the Beers could not afford in their
extremity to lose the ammunition or
supplies.
Military men in London now assume
that the collapse Of the Boer army
cannot be deferred many weeks, siGce
it will be impracticable for the burghers
to obtain a fresh supply of material
Steyn, De Wet and Hertzog are still
atield, but the remnants Of their COM
mauloes are without reserves of ammu-
milton and are heading for districts
which have been emptied and rendered
uninhabitable by Lord Kitchener's pol
icy of corralling the farmers and their
families in strongly garrisoned posts
Military experts consider the dispatch
of further achievements unnecessary,
except for the relief of the worn out
army of occupation.
The favorable news from the Trans
vaal causes belief among the support
ers of the government that the Khaki"
election was held in good time, owing
to the adroitness of Mr.. Chamberlain.
and that the party is strongly in
trenched in power. But it is an awk-
ward thing for Sir Michael Hicks
Beach to admit that a deficit Of at

finished. This is the estimate made on

his remarks Mr.. Cochran maintained
that the solution Of the social queg-
lions OF the present day lay with the
church. declaring that while the remedy
for economic evils must lay In econo-
mic laws there was no difference be-
tween the economic and moral laws.
The church, he asserted, was not mere
~ the depository Of the moral laws;
but the truest exponent Of thd economic
Laws
He defined prosperity az an abund-
ance OF commodities equltably distrib-
uted among the people who could best
use them and held that the system
under which the greatest abundance OF
commodities could be drawn from the
earth was the system toward which
all human energy and all human laws
should lend.
All wealth, he said, must be pro-
dnced by the hand Of man and drawn
from the earth. adding that all the
powers Of law or man could not make
two blades Of grass grow where but
one mad grown before. nor the greatest
poteDtatc create fertility on the battle
