CONFLICTING VIEWS.
As to a Speedy Termination Of the
War In South Africa.

London, May 29,-The Daily Chronicle
this morning declares that the negotla-
tions, which will be practically con-
cuded In the course OF the present
week, will witness the termination OF
the war In South Africa. The PAPER
says 1t understands that the govern
ment has declined to grant the rebels
unqual liiied amnesty or to fix Il date Tor
the establishment of self-gOvcrnnlent,
and that English will probably be the
otticial language In the TWO colonies.
Against this idea OF speedy an
nouncement of peace is the decision
reached in parliament yesterday to de-
bate the education bill next MOnGay
and to postpone further the debate on
the budget, which seems to show that
affairs in South Africa may require Il
greater period OF time for settle nent.

then spread, in vast black sfeet,
to the south and directly over my head.
Through this sheet. which extended
a distance of 10 miles from rhe crater,
vivid and awful lghtning-like bolts
flashed with alarming frequency. They
followed distinct paths of ignition. but
were different from lightning in that
the bolts were horizontal and not per-

gases after they left the crater. This
