The British forces in South Africa keep pushing steadily forward, and are meeting with comparatively small opposition, and will eroon be in possession of the three lead- ing railways from the eoast into the heart a the Transvaal. A significant fact, pointing towards an early close of the war, is that preparations are being made for the resum- ing of work in the mines. Reporta have come to hand that the Boers are well sup- plied with food and ammunition, and finan- cial provision has been made for keeping up ,the agitation -in favor of the republics, a - large suns of money hhving been placed . with a large body of trustees in Europe for that purpose. General Buller has success- fully captured a strong poeition from the enemy, inflicting heavy loss, and is rapidly pushing forward, while General French is acting in consort with him, in order to clear the country to th_o Portugeso frontier. The latest heformation from Boer sources is that they have decided in favor of guerilla war -- fare against the British. Ex-preeident Kruger is said to be too weak to leave the railway, and still clings to his contention thatthe Boera have nething to lose, and mast, -therefore, continue the wer. The Transvaal is henceforth to be knoWn as the Vaal River Colony. General Beden-Powell has been made commander of the Transvaal pollee. It is stated that tend Roberta will leave South Africa on November 1st. The allied forces are etill in oornmand_ at Pekin, although tht Rusaian Government still favors their removal, and has been join- ed by Franco. Tho other powers era in favor of remaining. Li Hung Chang is said to have been vested with complete author- _ ity to appoint the plenipotentiariett to con- duct the negotiations for peace, and it is al - mese certain that aomething ia going on 'in Pekin in the nature of a reconstruetien of the Chinese Government, and all the diplom- atists there aro concerned in it. Although the powers differ as to who shall be amploy- ed in this work, it is tolerably (dear that all accept the principle that Chins. must be gov- erned by the Chinese. Press despetches re- port the capture of the dowager-Emprese by the•Russiaa forces, but this eeport lacks confirMation. An allied expedition is aloo said tr.d have started from Pekin for Pao- tingfu, a point abeut 80 miles distant, but what the object of the exhibitien is is not. clearly 'known. For the preeent fighting seems to be over, andthe sebttement of the matter appareatIY rests ehtirely with the representatives of the different nations. - MIMIIMINIMINIIMmomM111101111t Editorial Notes and Comment s. , New Zealand has fallen into line with ° Canada in the matter of Imperial penny re postage.
