It Ih evident from Lord Roberta' last dis
patch that tho disintegration has com
menced. Tho Free Stuters are scattering to
their homes, whllo tho TranHVaalem hnvo
gone northward, declining to fight longer In
tho Orango Fmi State. What little re
slstanco tho former still nro likely to make
eccm to be ccntcrlnK at Llndlcy, about
forty-flvo miles west, whither President
Steyn has transferred his government.
It Is evident that tho strategy of Iord
Holier In and tho rapidity of his advance have
ibowlIdeml nnd disheartened tho Doers', as
their resistance slnco tho Ilrltlnh reached tho
Zand river hns been slight.
Tho only point whero thoy attempted to
chock the mlvanco seems to have been on '
tho llrltlHh right, whero they defended with
eomo vigor two kopjes which were eventually
carried by tho Ent Lancashire and Sus
noxes, tho Doers retiring, leaving a group
of gunuets deuil on the top of one of tho

Lndybrand and are pushing them back, as
well as defeating their efforts to break

of tho relief column to Mufcklng, but It Is
possible that Lord Roberts' success will ro-

unless American bankers took precaution

LONDON. May 12. 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. Dy agreeing to thekO terms President
Kruger must of courso glvo up all for
which ho has been fighting. 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. Delegates
from this great colony nro ceaselessly speak
ing pleaunnt words to London audiences
through tho luxurious medlum'of public din
ners nnd luncheons, to say nothing of co
pious press Intervlows, but meanwhilo aro
fighting Colonial Secretary Chamherlaln
tooth nnd nail in an endeavor to maintain
Australia's objection to tho English privy
council us a final, court of appeal for local
cases.
No corapromlso hns yet been reached and
Chnmbcrlaln will shortly lntroduco tho sub
ject of federation In the House of Commons,
advocating that tho bill bo passed ns for
warded to Australia, with the exception of
nn amendment granting the privy council
tho power mentioned In tho foregoing.
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. How do tho United States repay
us? Wo wero treated to all kinds of insults
over tho Alaska boundary ami tho Nlcnrngua
canal nnd now nt least half tho American
profs and nation loudly proclaim tholr Bym
pathy with tho Boors and aro organizing ro
ceptlons for their delegates. Wo idinll havo
to defend our emplro and must do It, ns Lord
Salisbury snys, with our right arm."
This 1 an Interesting comment, but It
neither teprcscnts tho best Informed nor
tho popular opinion. Iord Salisbury bad
no Idea of referring to Amorlran pro-Door
manifestations when speaking nt .the meet
ing of tho Prlmroso league. Moreover these
manifestations nro regarded In England,
thanks' to tho cable dispatches of English
correspondents, ns nothing but a temporary
effervescence of political agitation in a
country on tho vergo of nn election nnd ns
such ut no 3crlous Import.
Tho Speaker, commenting upon Russian
railroad und territorial aggression In China,
dcclarcH that Lord Salisbury and Mr. Cham
burlaln cannot protect British Interests, real
or Imagluary, In any part of tho world and
that tho United States has been tho only
guardian of our Interests In China, whllo
lvord Salisbury has been a helpless looker on.

This concluded tho specchmnklng und Im

Soon tho peoplo who knew Peck gave out,
and when long Men of hl unknown com

into a tedious, senseless business nnd nfter
a whispered consultation among tho authorl

By 4 o'clock many had left nnd circulation

visit tho pavilion.
Desplto tho general good humor, severe
criticisms wero heard on all sides about
tho arrangements. Thero Is no question
but tho affair was rather poorly managed.
No provlHion seemed to havo been made
to handle such crowds, nor to make tho

clared Its willingness to insert Into tho
contracts with this subventloncd line tho
same paragraph that is already In the
North German Lloyd's nontrnct forbidding
their steamers lauding agricultural prod
ucts competing with German products at
Gorman porl. 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

American products cannot bear tho high

that such conditions bo obliterated by tho

LONDON. May 12. (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.
