New York, June 8.—The possi-
bility of war between Japan and
Russia and the effect ofthe rumors
on the financial world are discussed
rather fully in the Herald today.
Its London correspondent cables:

“The anxiety réspecting events
in the far east spread yesterday still
further. Over and over again the
Opinion was expressed that nothing
could avert war between Japan and
Russia. In diplomatic circles noth-
ing else was talked about.

“There exist 1m financial circles
all the preliminaries of a panic.
Public sentiment is urging the gov-
ernment to take a more active inter-
est in Chinese developments. All
day long commucications are going
on between the foreign office and
Tien Tsin.”

and Now Turns Attention to~ Settlement,
Development and Government of the Con-
quered Country—Military Rule to Continue

(Cable Letter. by Associated Press.)
London, June 9.—To all intents
and purposes’ the South African
war, so far as the average Britisher
is concerned, is over. With the
exception of the possible capture of
President Kruger and the home-

dar of probabilities contains noth-
ing of interest. Already China is
becoming a keen rival of South
Atrica—the burning question of the
day. The capture of s00 members
of the imperial yeomanry, which a
few months ago would have thrown
the nation into a fit of despondency,
has passed comparatively unnoticed.
The work of stamping out the re-
bellion, for such, according to the
British point of view, is the nature
of the opposition now.encountered,
is too prosaic and too common in the
annals of the British army to merit
the absorbing attention hitherto
bestowed on each detail of the san-
guinary struggle.
“What shall we do with it?” is
far more the topic of the hour than
speculation regarding the expendi-
ture in lives and money that seem
likely to ensue bcfore .the pacifica-
tion of the Boers shall be accom-
plished. Large numbers of enqui-
ries are daily made in London anent
the prospects of the undeveloped
crown lands of Natal, whjle the
rith resources of the Transvaal and
Orange River colony form the basis
of frequent articles. Before many
months shall have passed the steam-
ship companies plying .to and fram
South Africa, the companies con-
nected with the development of that
portion of the globe and others
equally interested and well informed
look for a large and steady emigra-
tion of trained British agriculturists
and (others to fields on which the
blood of Briton and Boer is scarcely
dry. All the letters from the front
indicate an increasing desire on the
part of a large proportion of the
irregular and colonial forces to
settle down oni this fertile land,
The British high commissioner,
Sir Alfred Milner, it is learned,
is devoting his whole = at-
tention to evolving a scheme of
civil government applicable to the
Orange River colony and the Trans-
vaal and relying to no little extent
upon the: influence of the British
settlers to exercise it. The com-

for the colonies, Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, who has got the
forces of the colonial office hard at
work on the problem, though the
keen sighted officials believe the
fday is still far distant when the
military administrators will be able
to hand over the reins of govern-
ment in safety to the civil authori-
ties. The contingency of President
Kruger’ 's still undefeated force scor-
ing a victory of consequence over
Lord Roberts is generally regarded
#S so remote as to be scarcely

worth mentioning.
