It is in order to keep the possibility of this open that England has not yet officially announced to the powers the annexation of the Transvaal. One of the first condition, however, is that the announcement of surrender There is must come from Kruger every prospect that he will soon be inclined to tins course. His visit to Franca has taught him that any number of empty assurances of sympathy will not result in the slightest practical help. Germany will make a further contribution to tbe education of Mr. Kruger, audit will be to her alone that the Boers will owe thanks! England make them concessions. This statement acquires some importance by tbe fact that the Lost reproduces it and adds that it does not sound improbable, and that England has every incentive to erect t strong bulwark against the warlike tribes of Central Africa in order to assure .the possession of the territory they have just conquered. d semi-offici- prised at it , Claim to b M areas IjWj'l Broth-Rev. p.

The quarrel has been brought to the test of force, it says, and force on the civilized side has proved insufficient. This result is mainly due to the attitude of Russia and United States. If China escapes with tha payment of a small indemnity arid many promises on paper, as seems not unlikely, since Germany and Great Britain may not be willing to incur the expenditure and risk involved in persisting in tbeir demands, It will be a victory for China for nothing has occurred that will convince tbe Chinese that their msghty Empress has been defeated or tliat Europe can aveDge any future massacres.
