Tho Doers seem to bo on tho cvo of playing their last card, and, according to many keen observers In Kng land, it Is being played not In South Africa, hut in tho United States, through the me dium of tho Boer delegate who sailed for New York from Rotterdam last week. As the; bulk of Ilrltlsh opinion does not contemplate for a moment that Mr. Fischer nnd his companions will nchlevo succcrs It Is only natural that serious thought Is now confidently dovotil to prognosticating tho dato when tho war In tho Trnnsvual will bo endt-d, i.Most intimates agree that hostilities will havo ccucd by Juno when President Kruger learns from tho last country nppealod to, tho United States, that It will nfford up help, and ho has no alternative lu tho fnco of tho overwhelming force now victoriously sweep ing Into his territory, but to suo for peace. What Great Drltaln's nnswer to tho request will bo most unmistakably defined by Joseph Chamberlain, tho secretary of state for the colonies, nt Dirmlugbam yesterday, when ho declined that the Door rcpublicrt must be come a crown colony -whoso Initial stage will bo controlled by a military administra tion.

Put on tho other hand now that terms havo been so emphatically stated they must either bo granted or Fngland will stand dofeated. Cuullileiit f Sternly AiImiiicc. Tho Intter alternative, however, docs not enter England's category of possibilities. Her people nro firmly convinced that Lord Roberts will steadily advance, 'perhaps with delays nnd lotses, of daro-dovll units, and maybo without Inflicting a crushing do feat, until ho occupies tho Transvaal. His forward progress, thoy bolleve, will bo stopped only when President Kruger, learn ing of tho failure of Fischer's inlfslon, asks for pence. That this will como sooner than provloualy expected Is the trend of popular opinion today, A long slego of Pretoria ha? -"jneonio u re-' moto contlngoncy. Sharp fighting beyond Kroonstad and on tho Vaal river, a series of rear guard engagements, an organized sub jugation of a hostilo country and then by Juno, or perhaps earlier, peaco and occupa tion. Such Is tho nverago forecast of tho strugglo In South Africa. Mnybe It Is alto gether too optimistic, but tbo 'present suc cesses of the British arms nnd tho evidenco of their well defined plans and excellent or ganization form much excuse for optimism. -iiKtriilliuiM riuhlliiu; t'hiimhi'rlittii. In comparison with what 200,000 Drltlsh troops havo been doing In South Africa dur ing tho week, tho events In Kngland Itself nro perhaps unimportant. Yet they teem with human Interest und International Im portance. First and foremost la tho ques tion of Australian federation.

Presumably tho Commons will follow tho government's lead. What Australia will do remains to bo Been. The obligation subordi nating tho highest colonial courts tn tho privy council, under which Canada now In born, may wreck the whole scheme of fed eration. AiiiitIcu. Culm, AiiKlai-lloer War. Tho Saturday Rovlew, Interpreting Lord Salisbury's recent genorallsm regarding hntrwl toward England and tbo necessity of arming tho country, n especially nppllcublo to tho United States, declares: "During tho Cubun war therr wero a largo number of people In this country who sympathized with Spain, but they kept their feelings strictly to themselves. Not a dls cordant noto was heard In our press nnd tho British government prevented a com bination of European powers that would havo thrown tho United States govornment on Its bnck.

The article concludes as follows: "Do not let Americans hcllovo they can gain tho sympathy of tho world through such rhodomoutndes. With such actions they can only still further discredit their political lift and tho forms in which this Is embodied."

That fact that a proviso ex ists lu Lloyd's contracts for tho German malls was brought out clearly by tho Agrnrlnn leader, OerlPl, without contradic tion.

(New York World Cablegram-Special Telegram. )-Thls has tavn Lord Salisbury's week. Ho has been run ning amuck politically. On Monday ho paralyzed the archbishop of Canterbury. Bench of Bishops and Houso of Lords by denouncing temperance legislation as futilo and Injurious. Tho occasion of this outburst was n mo tion by tho blhhop of Winchester calling upon the government to Introduce legisla tion based upon iho lecommondutlon of tho royal connulsslon on licensing laws, ap pointed by Salisbury himself. Ho not only controverted the views of tho temperance party, but gibed ai them with ustonlshlng levity. Speaktng upon the recommendation that steamboats bo placed under the licens ing authorities, Premier Salisbury said: "So that, oven at the nioniont of your greatest ugotiy, when leaning over tho leiwlde, you aro not to havo temporary relief unless with tho sanction 'if licensing uutborlty." Tho bishops bad scarcely recovered from that shot when Salisbury assailed the wholo pilnclplo of the prohibition of Sunday dunk ing, an accepted article In tho creed of both purtles. He sild: "I have some sympathy with people who want beer on Sundays. I don't drink beer myfelf. but If I did" ,1 should want It ns much on Sundays us on nny other day." Not content with this. Salisbury struck tho root of the whole question of temper ance reform: "You wish to prevent n cer tain number of pcoplo from getting drunk, therefore, you osk us to prevent six times as many from nn opportunity for that freo Indulgenco to which they havo a right." Tho bishops shuddered nt this enunciation or tho doctrine of "n right to freo Indulg ence," and In tho division that followed Salisbury only escaped defeat by threo votes. On tho following day nn Ironic com mentary on Salisbury's tprech wns nffordod In the Houso of Commons, whore, with tho assent of his own government, the Houto adopted a bill placing the moBt drastic re strictions on tho sale of liquor on Sundays lu Wales. I'rlinroNe I.eiiKue llrenk. But oven more recklofs nnd Irresponsible wns hl alarmist speech to tho Prlmroao loague. When Lord Rosebery two months ago mndo a far less gloomy oration there, Premier Salisbury treated It with silent con tempt. But since- then a genornl election campaign has virtually begun nnd Salisbury wnnts to keep up tho war fovcr us tbo surest hope for another term fnr tho unionists. Ills slighting roferenco to Ireland, placing tho relation of tho Irish peoplo to tho Im perial government on the snmo rooting an that of tho Doers, Is scarcely consistent with his complete Rinlly. Tho unionist gnmo for some time has been to express effusdvo friendliness for Ireland nnd recog nition of tho services of the Irish soldiers, but Salisbury gratuitously destroys at a blow tho effect of nil this and rcarousrs tho bitterest feelings ngalnst England among tho Irish nationalists. Salisbury lives habitually with his head In the clouds. He never mixes socially even with his cabinet colleagues. Ho does not condescend to Inform himself of what tho peoplo aro thinking becnuso ho regards thu many-headed with unrestrained con tempt. ' Ills antics this week All hlo colleagues and followers with dismay. They thank heaven ho does not Intend to accept olllco again after the next general election.
