CAPE COLONY REBELLION.

London, May 29.-According to the
latest uncensored correspondence from
Cape Town, the Beers are still in con-
slant occupation of at least twenty two
different localities in Cape Colony, hav-
ing more than score of bands of raid
ers, mounted and armed, and of suffi-
cient mobility to defy successful pur-
suit, altho the British have often swept
and cleared" every mile of the Colony's
territory.
The correspondent reports: "The in
vasion is more active and aggressive
than ever and rebellion more rampant"
The campaign against the rowing
Boer commanders in Cape Colony,
which has been in active progress for
sixteen months, has achieved nothing
Eeyond keeping them moving. ANY
occasional success" the correspondent
adds. obtained by the seventeen Brit
fsh columns operating in Cape Colony
is more the result of luck than their
tactics, and these unpalatable facts will
continue as long as so few columns CO.
operate in hustling. Inadequacy of the
supply of troops is at the root of the
unsatisfactory operations.

here and others have been organized
recently Those last organized have
sought to hide their identity by max
ing their articles of Incorporation so
broad as TO cover practically every
thing in the nature of business but
making no avowal of an intention
to carry on a home cooperative" bus
mess. These suspicious companies
have been listed and are being watched
If they continue the questionable bust
ness an injunction will be got out and
the law be tested. AT the same time
the postoffice authorities have been
securing evidence of the existence of
these companies and the nature of
their business and it is expected that
a fraud order" will be issued against
them in a short time and they be
placed under the ban of the postoffice
department. This will be quite as eff
fective in ending their work as any
state law.
AS the result of the sharp dissenting
opinion filed in the Kuhn case from
keokuk county it is generally believed
that rehearing will be granted by the
supreme court and the case ultimately
be reversed. The dissenting opinion
filed by Justice Weaver sharply at
tacks the conclusions of .he majority
in the case. The Kuhn case had many
points of similarity to the Hossack
case in which new trial was granted
Both women We're sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for the murder of tneir
respective husbands and in both casea
the conviction was on circumstantial
evidence only. The feature of the Kuhn
case most sharply criticised by Justice
Weaver is that in which the court
virtually makes the fact of the wife
having knowledge of a will leaving
all the property to her 4 part of "a
motive for murder Justice Weaver
says that if having a pecuniary inter
est in the death of husband is to
be taken IS a motive for murder then
men are everyday providing evidence
which might be used against their
widows. The.Kuhn case was defended
by Col. G. H.Mackey ard D. w. Ham
ilton and was a hard fought case. anS

South Afrca. Balfour added:
.I can not, however, be absolutely
certain of being in a position to do SO,
and until a statement can be made
do not think it expedient to take up the
budget"
The government leader also said:
isThe recent phase which hung in the
balance has been absurdly misinter-
preted as referring to divisions in the
cabinet on the subject of the budget,
That is not fact, and the only point is
whether the house can properly be
asked to discuss the budget until they
know precisely where they stand in re-
gard to the negotiations"
In spite of Balfours pretended un-
certainty, there is no doubt whatever
in the house of commons or elsewhere
that full peace settlement will be an
nounced Monday next.

that it had broken out at the head of

The Volcano Bird.

One curious result of the Soufriere's
eruptions has been the loss on the is
land of st. Vincent of the beautiful
bird known as Buildings Amazon par
rot. This bird was formerly found
only on the slopes of the Soufriere
and was called the volcano Bird by
the inhabitants of the island. 1t was
driven away by the eruptions of 171S
and sought shelter in other parts of
the Antilles. The great hurricane of
1898 still further reduced it's num-
bers, hardly leaving a single bird in
ST. Vincent, and now it is feared that
whatever survivors there may have
been were destroyed by the recent
eruptions or have fed from the scene.
Not bird can be found anywhere
within the range of the volcanoes ac-
tivity. Unlike man, birds and beasts did
not risk returning to such danger

Insects think as truly as men do,
although not, of course. on the same
scale. This is the belief of NJ. Forel,
a French neurologist. who has been
making observations of ants and bees
for relaxation. He thinks that, be-
tween the ideas of the naturalist who
regards insects as mere automatons
and those of the msn who treats them
as if they had human intelligence,
there is happy medium of common
sense, and this he has tried to attain.
His observations teach him that, al
though most offhe acts of insects can
be explained by instinct, there remain
what he calls "smaH plastic judg-
ments." by which they avoid difficult
ties and steer their way bet-'--~a uan-
gers. The directive faculty of bees
especially and their wonderful mem
DRY for places. can hardly be explained
on the theory of automatism.
