the floods render au ascent in force prprimticable, people are naturally angry at the
stories told and Persisted in for weeks by
the Ministers on this whole subject. The
most charitable explanation is that there
were sharp divisions iu the Cabinet, and
that Salisbury, Balfour and Curzon were
hoping against hope when they gave
pacific assurances that they coati hold
theirown against Chamberlain's aggres-
sive jingoism. At .all events no one is
making headway against it today, and,
now that: blood has begun to flow, the
chance of Eugland's listening to argu-
ments of any peace party is hardly worth
I discussing. Only some overwhelming
catastrophe in the desert campaign could
,'work that miracle now, and the War
; Office is going to try all that caution,
large preparations. and • unlimited force
can do to avert this danger. It is gener-
ally understood that a big draft of native
Indian troops , will be em ployed later on,
but the details are unknown. Tho news
that the, Egyptian soldiers acquitted
themselves so well in the opening skir-
1 mishes with Osman Diana's .mon is made
much of, but there are still grave doubts
what they will be like when the dervishes
get ,realty at them hand to baud. Their
very appearance in the field is regarded
as an unpardonable insult -by the dervish-
( es, whose contempt for the fallaheen is
boundless, and they know that if they fall
into dervish hands their fate will be a
thing t to shudder al . Hence e t eco they fight
with terrible despair if there be no wily
out, but there must be a powerful push-
ing force of British behind them all the
while.
The Matabele rising furnishes for the
moment a much more exciting theme,
for there seems to be a genuine danger
that Bulawayo will be sacked and put to
fire and sword before help can reach it.
The beleaguered garrison could hold the
place against indefinite odds as long as
provisions and ammunition Iasted, but
these both are pretty short, and, worse.
still, hundreds of natives are inside the
'eager whose loyalty is more than sus-
pected. Every day brings bulletins of
new massacres in the outlying mining ter-
ritory of prospecting parties, and among
the victims an exceptional proportion is
of young wren of well-known families.
Exciting as all this is, it is not an un-
familiar experience to the English, and in
ordinary conditions they would not dream
of borrowing trouble about it; butit hap-
pens that something much more import-
ant than smashing a mutiny of savages is
involved, and uncertainty of just what
this is makes people nervous. The whole
Transvaal problem is darkly mixed up
with the Matabele difficulty, and all Eng-
land's steps toward restoring order in
Rhodesia have to be picked carefully in
order not to tread on Kruger's toes. This
makes the Tories impatient here, and they
are beginning to cry out to Chamberlain
to go ahead, regardless of the Boers, and
whip thele, too, if they insist on beingdis-
agreeable. This is all reported at Praeto-
ria, where pre-existing prejudice has been
intensified to somber rage by wholesale
lies cabled to and froth South Africa by
agents, parasites of Johaunesberg and
gold -field syndicates. As a resultEiiglatid
is permanently increasing the garrison of
regulars at Cape Town, and will probably
find herself sending out still other forces
as the summer advances.
The Times this morning says this
doubling of strength at Cape Town is done
because in the event of a European war
the Suez Canal would be blocked and traf-
fic would have to go round the Cape, and
the security of this splendid British har-
bor, and base of supplies would be an im-
perative necessity. If this be au author-
ized statement it may well set Englishmen
thinking. They can ouiy reconcile them-
selves to the spectacle of their country
wadiu_ waist deep into the African morass
by taking it for granted that the peace of
Europe has been provided fora _Meanwhile;
if this has not been done and if England
finds herself confronted suddenly by hos-
tile continental combinations to her detri-
meut while she has her hands tied in
Ethiopia, 1 should not envy Lord Salisbury
his experience with the British public.
THE LINDSAY MURDER.
More Evidence Being Collected—Another
Empty Shell Wound—Miss Rogers' Knife
Located. •
Lindsay, Ont., April 18.—Another dam-
aging piece of evidence has ..been found
against John Kearney, charged with the
murder of John Agnew. Another empty
32 -caliber shell has been found on the road
leading past the murdered man's house,
and close to Logie's. This may be the
shell from which the fatal bullet was dis-
charged.
On the same road, between the Kearney
home and Logie's, was found the rem-
nants of a bunch of rubber -tipped lead
pencils, similar to those taken from the
office of Cowdry's warehouse when it was
burglarized. The pencils had been whib-
tled into small pieces with a knife, and
the ends thrown carelessly by the way-
side.
It Inas been discovered that the knife
found on the person of John Kearney
when arrested belongs to Miss Rogers,
stenographer and typewriter at the Sad-
ler, Dundas and Flavelle Company mill.
She always left it on her desk, and noted
its .disappearance the morning after the
burglary. A diligent search is still main-
tained for the missing watch formerly cur-
ried by John Kearney.

Traveler Charged With Forgery.
Brantford, April 19.—C. Risley, 'a com-
mercial traveler, of New York, an Eng-
lishman by birth, was late on Saturday
afternoon arrested on the charge of forg-
ery. It is alleged that he has passed
worthless cheques. at various places, and
one at the Bank of Montreal in this city.
This cheque he presented at 1 o'clock on
Saturday for a$50, and was identified by
Fred. Westbrook. The latter liad been
refc•.rred to Paterson & Son of this city for

is now in the cells. Risley badintended
