London. Feb. 26. ] a. m-The depar 'u,e
| A., sSban,berIain from Cape Town is the theme
| of laudafory articles In the press on lfe ie'ui'
| of his mission. Even the Radical Journals give
| ~, or.di+ for indefatigabIe energy and states
| n,.,,,il5e qualities In a sustained attempt TO re-
+oro barmonv in South Africa. Unionlst WITT
| ers assert that he has not evaded single due'
tion and that his mission mas peeh 'io"
with success. South Africans here tahe OH 0p
u,istic view, being influenced by Dr. 'aiieoa'
nh, bos renorted q marked Improvement IN al
fairs in every quarter. He has even eNPresSeu
the confident hope that the Progressive Pai''
win carry the elections in Cape Colony. Dr'
Jameson. who is the real leader in tnat party

Chamberlain has converted the Beers and cape
rebels into sincere imperalsts, but the! coh
slider that every disputed question mas "eeh
thrested out. and that the Dutch are cohVlhceu
that nothing can be gained by further ael'a-
ton.
The Irish debate in the Commons was nar'h-
less dress parade which possibly had been pre-
arranged Mr. Redmond spoke with stuoieu
moderation and George Wyndham WIN equai
caution and reserve. Each aimed to create 'iie
impression that the Land bill was a proio"no
secret and that there had been no negotiations
between the Irish Office and the NauohahstS.
II is hardly credible that the Nationallsis "ouiu
assume confidently that the Irish quesuoh "lii
be settled by Mr.. Wyndham's bill IL sohie Va
+ba1n had not been consulted directly or lndl-
rectly. According 10 excellent intormatioh' 'he
bill has not received its finishing touches ana

ury 10 cover the difference between what the
landlords are willing to take and what the ten
ants can afford to pay has not been approx
nately estimated.
The impression produced by the dispatches

money in the Turkish treasury for carrying lhe
