NOTES AND COMMENTS.
THE TRANSVAAL.
The ominous words uttered by Mr. CHAM BERLAIx at Birmingham, as reported in the Reuter's telegram which we publish to-day, can, we think, leave little doubt in the minds of the public as to the outcome of the Transvaal crisis. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has, throughout the whole of the negotiations, adopted a very strong attitude, evidently determined to concede nuthing and be con tent with nothing short of a full compliance with British demands. In this attitude he. has been supported by the English press, with the exception of the Daily Chronicle, which has accused him of attempting to force a war upon us. President KRUGER has certainly not attempted to make matters less threatening by a policy of concibiation. He has appar ently been striving to gain time by proffering mal. concessions, the inadequacy of which make their acceptance impossible besides increasing the bad feeling against the Tran: Saal amongst the Uitlanders and so bringing the general state of discontent amongst them to a head.
A TOUGH FIGHT.
1 war is inevitable, and we fail to see how it is to be averted while Mr. CHAMBER LAIN and President KRUGER both remain firms, then Britain will have a war on hand which will require careful handling. It will
