London. Sept. %. l a MIN financial circles
the opinion is growing that there will have to
he further borrowing by the British Government
as the result of the continued fighting in South
Africa The only relief TO the drain upon the
resources Of the nation is the money which is
expected to be realized by the sale of farms
belonging tc those irreconcilabe burghers who
have left their wives and children to the care
Of Lord Kitchener. This relief only be
very trihing. however and it is hardly likely

are clamoring for energetic prosecution of the
struggle. and pleased TO be able to print
Lord Kitchener's announcement of the capture
of Kochs commando and the Carolina
rnando These British successes are regarded as
some compensation for the reverses reported last
week General Louis Botha has now lost a large
number of his cattle, and he may find it neces-
sary TO alter considerably his plans KrotZnger
endeavored to initiate the example set him by
SHUTS of cutting his way through the British
lines: he failed but Lovat's scouts suffered
heavily in keeping him south of the Orange
River The apparently inexhaustible supply Of
ammunition which the Beers have at their COM
rnand is the subject of considerable talk among
well Informed Stock Exchange men. Doubtless
the stores imported before the war have not yet
been entirely used up or captured, but private
advices point to a possible leakage at Cape
Town and other ports.
A serious state of things prevails in Cape
Colony from the Orange River to the sea. 1t is

free from serious interference, of farms deserted
by their rebel proprietors. of armored trains
that have been forced to patrol the lines. as far
south as Paarl or Worcester, and of the
STRENGTHENING of the defences Of Cape Town it
self. For the first time 1t is now known in this
country that Scheepers succeeded in capturing
the loyal delegates on their return to their
homes in Oudtshoorn from welcoming the Duke
Of Cornwall at Cape Town.
Lord Kitchener's message last night clears up
the mystery as to the location of the water

was generally understood that the Pretoria
waterworks was referred TO. but 1t is now clear
that IL was the Bloemfontein waterworks from
which the captured guns and escort started.
II is a singular coincidence that NJ Battery.

fight of March 81 1900, should lose two more

months later.

The work of the Royal Commission on His
torical Manuscripts in Scotland and Ireland is
making steady progress. and some reports Of
exceptional interest to students may shortly be
looked for Among the forthcoming calendars
OF collections IN Ireland two which will
ceive particularly hearty welcome. One Of the
volumes in question will be. in effect supple
ment TO report issued sixty years ago upon
the archives Of the town Of Galway. Former
conditions of life in Galway were peculiar, mas
much as owing to its geographical position, the
internal administration OF the town was to a
great extent beyond the immediate control Of
the government in Dublin. The municipal rec
ords show in detail the arrangements by which
the Galway authorities legislated for the civic
community within their walls. and regulated
transactions with the occasionally hostile people
OF adjacent districts, as well as with traders
from England and the Continent. Another Irish
collection in regard to which further informa-
ton is promised is that preserved at the Dublin
College of the Irish Franciscans. This collec-
tion includes papers of rare value the labors
Of and the establishments founded by Irish mis-
sonaries in England and on the Continent.
Although Parliament will not meet until next
year there is little doubt that the question of
the Grimsby riots will be brought TO the atten-
ton Of the lower house Innocent persons were
undoubtedly injured, and already representa-
tions have been made TO the Home Secretary
to the methods adopted by the police.
The agitation in favor Of some redistribution
scheme which will have the effect of cutting
down Irish representation in Parliament is TAX
ing shape, and ii is probable that a good deal
will be heard about 1T during what promises to
be particularly tame autumn political cam
paign. /. n. F.
