B0ERs RECRUITING IN CAPE.

In London 1t Is Believed tho Dutch Dis
trlcts Are Joining the Afrikandcrs.
London, June 2O.-The situation in
South Africa is far from satisfactory
just now for Englishmen. 1t is be-
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 are only smouldering,
it looks very much as if they had burst
into flame. A question will shortly be
put from the liberal benches in the
house of commons as to the proposed
suspension of the constitution in Cape
Colony. There is general belief that
Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Miner will
hesitate before taking this step. Law
yers are Of the opinion that the only
way 1T could be legally accomplished
would be by an act Of parliament, and
in the present state of public business
the government will scarcely care to
invite opposition on such an issue.

ONE IS ENOUGH.
A Second School for the Deaf VIII No.
Not he !EAtaiIisbe.l

Des Moines, June Superintendent
ltothert, of the Iowa school for the
deaf says that there is not q remote
possibilitA of there being established
in Iowa another school for the deaf.
The state makes provision for the
transportation of pupils III the state
school where the parents are unable To
send their children at their own ex-
pense, and while it would have been
better to have had the school located
more nearly in the center of the state.
Yet 1t is fulfilling its mission perfectly.
He says that he believes that there
are less than fifty eligible persons In
the state not now In school. The state
has been So CURED to secure all the
children who are deaf and with great
success. All talk of another school in
the extreme eastern portion of the
state is out Of place at this time. SUI
perintendent Eothert has adopted the
plan OF st"rting the school late in the
fall so that the boys who come from
the farms can finish their fall work,
and this brings the commencement ex-
ercises late. so they will not occur until
the last week of this month.

up next Tuesday and it was expected
all former witnesses would attend, but
letters have been received by the dis
trict attorney showing that DIR. Wolf,
state chemist of Delaware, wants 1000
for fee and 50 day and expenses.
While Drs. Downs and Bishop demand
$25 a day and all expenses. Judge Cook
has refused to permit them to be
called.
Unless experts reduce their bills or
the state Of Delaware will share ex-
penses Mrs. Botkin will probably go
