That is a considerable political object, and one which, supposing the Colonial Office to bave accurate information, might justify a war of the second class. We fought the Soudanese War for an object not more considerable or more definite. It was: also necessary to remove the grievances of the British in the Transvaal, which offended the national pride, and created throughout South Africa perpetual unrest, besides ontinuing and exacerbating a troublesome racial quarrel, That removal also might, if the grievances were serious and were proved-as appears to be the cast-justify, after patient effort in remon- strance, a declamation of war.

The lava streams threaten destruction to the

authorised the importation of arms, and have become the practical, as well as legal, masters. of the country,This is not disputed by either side, while it is plainly, or even rudely, asserted by President Kriger. Such a demand Has sure to provoke resistance, while it was open to this further objection, that it allowed the Boers to chaffer, and appear to yield without yielding, while it made it most difficult to obtain guarantees for their good faith: The Boers, it must be remembered, under the guidance of Mr. Kruger ure Lots simplepeople by any means, but a very cunning people, who know how to negotiate and to take advantage of any loophole left in a written agreement. Negotiating with an American lawyer is easy work compared to negotiating with Mr. Kruger. It was to be expected, therefore, that the scene. which is now happening would occur. The Boers are very relictantly making concessions which, even if accepted, would settle nothing. The franchises granted would not for seven, years make the Outlanders strong enough to redress their own grievances by legal means, and during all that time the grievances mighis and the unrest of South Africa would, continue.. The paramount position of the British Govern- ment is in no way reaffirmed, and nothing is solidified, for there is no proof that the Beer majority in the local Parliament might not so siter the consitution as to take away from the British the advantage they had gained. They might, for example, in the first-year of the new Convention, elect a President for life, and practically make him master of the Republic. There must bēr

guarantees, but what guaranteca can there be which would be really effective ? We can think of none except the amming of the Outlanders which the Boers,. declaring it to be an invitation to civil war would refuse to grant. The negotiations must therefore fail,;ltaying behind them two conse. quences, one an increased bitterness of racial feeling, and the other an impression among a great number of Englishmen that their Govern ment in, refusing to accept concessions have placed themselves in the wrong. That impres sion is the very one upon which the Boers rely, with this much of justice, that Englishmen when going to war like to have a perfectly clear case and to be united. They will sometimes fight dark peoples on l-understood; or uncertain, grounds, but that is because the conquest of dark peoples stems to them always so benef.

Her voice is beautifully pure and sweet, and the air chosen, "Hear ye, Israel" was sung with such refinement, and expression that Mr Ben Davies, who was adjudicator, confessed himself greatly moved, and said that with care the young lady should become one of the greatest singers Wales bas ever produced.

Commenting on her performance, he de- scribed it as marvellous, and her voice ana natural gift which no art could have produced. Wales is to be congratulated, and Miss Amy Evans's career will be watched with interest.

Mary Ansell.

The execution of Mary Ann Ansell, domestic servant, aged 22, who was sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Mathew on 30th June for the wilful murder of her sister, Caroline Aniell, an inmate of the Leavesden Asylum, took place. at eight o'clock on the morning of July 19th, within the precincts of her Majesty's prison at. St. Albans,

The crime thus explated 'consisted in the sending of poisoned cake by post from London on 9 March to her sister at Leavesden. Five days after its receipt Caroline Ansell died in agony, and several other inmates of the asylum, who had partaken of the cake, also suffered considerably.

Strenuous efforts were made to secure a re- prieve for the condemned girl, on the ground that she was insane, but the Home Secretary after making careful inquiries, decided not to, intervene.
