In vitiitions to attend the funeral services have been extended to the President and members of the Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court aud the diplomatic corps. A GRACEFUL TRIBUTE. New York, March 2.���Referring editorially to the death of Lord Herschell the Tribune today says: "His last activities were performed as a member and tbe head of tbe Joint High Commission which was constitnteii last year to negotiate a settlement nl disputes between the United States aud the British Empire in North America. That Commission wai formed of men, eminent and hnnore- iu their respective countries. It will not be invidious, and it will be exactly true, to say that not one of then, brought to the Commission more ol the dignity of impartiality, of reasonableness, of practical knowledge ol affairs and of facility in dealing will them, or that commended it to tin confidence aud respect of both nations than did this British statesman and gentleman. Nor has any one contributed more to the settlement of at least smut* of the issues which wo believe now to be assured. He died with his work on the Commission apparently incomplete. But whi-.l he has done will abide am) bear abundant fruit. It wns only the other day that the Uuited States was culled upon ro mourn the death nf one of its own members of the Commission aud oue of its foremost statesmen There were no higher or more appreciative tributes paid to Nelson Dingley thau those that came from i'ritish sources. Now there is another chair made vacant ou the other side. In lhat sad incident our British kinsmen have the assurance of American sympathy as deep aud as sincere as their own grief. The latest efforts of both these lives were directed toward international friendship aud Anglo-Saxon unity. Tho realisation of those aims will be their noblest monument. " RESOLUTION OF SORItOW. New York, March 2.���At the monthly meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce held today resolutions of sorrow over the death of Lord Herschell woro passed. The resolutions read that the Chamber of Commerce, "desires to place on record its gralefu appreciation of the distinguished star- vice which Lord Herschell has rendered with couspioous ability to the English speaking race, ou both sides of the Atlantic, while acting as President of the Joint High Commission. " The resolution was sent by cable to Ambassador Choate, to be oomniunioatod to the Loudon Chamber of Commerce. TO REPRESENT LORD MINTO. Ottawa, March 2.���Capt.

London, March 3, ���In the House of Lords today, the Premior, Lord Salisbury, reftaring to the death of Baron Herschell, said it was an almost irreparable loss.

Six Regiments of Regulars Are Being Sent to Manila. New York, March 2.���Tlie United States hospital ship, Relief, sailed this afternoon for Manila. She is in command of Surgeon Major Bradley, and will carry to General Otis for the relief of the sick am) wounded at Manila, a full cargo ot medical supplies and delicacies, as well as 200 additional hospital corpsnmn, a number of acting assistant surgeons and a number of hospital stewards. Washington. March 2.���The secretary of war lias just ordered tlie reinforcement of General Otis' forces bv six regiments. These aro. Sixth Artillery now at San Antonio, tho Sixth Infantry, scattered along the Atlantic coast stations, the Ninth Infantry at Madison bnrrncks, 18th Infantry in New York State, 21st Intnntry at Pluttsluug and the Kith Infantry at Fort Cook nnd neighboring posts, in tlie middle west. These regiments have been ordered to make ready to proceed to San Francisco and thence to Manila. In answer to the direct question as to Whether or not these regular troops are intended to relieve a corresponding number of volunteer soldiers at Manila, it was said at the War Department that while this probably would be the case, it was not possible vot to make n positive statement. This means that if, when the reinforcements arrive lit Manila, the conditions are satisfactory, the volunteers will be brought home, hut if Otis shall have need for all of Ihe combined force then thoy must wait. The reinforcements are made ii]i of troopi who arc not only regulars in the full sense of the term, but who have been through the Cuban Port* Rican campaign. They know what it is to be under fire, how to hunt In [linns and also how to fight in tin tropical jungles. With these replacing ihe same number of volunteers, General Otis will have a majority of reg nlars in bis command, something tlie War Department has earnestly desired to bring about at the earliest possible moment. The position of the American commander at Manila also Will be safeguarded against the effect of the Sadden and forded discharge of vo3*_ tecrs by the rntific dion ot the Peace Treaty. THE C. P. R. WON. Sued in New York for $50000 Damages. New Y'ork, March 2���Justice Truax in the Supreme Court today dismisses the suit of Harry L. B. Noad and An nie Cleverly against the Canadian Pn- ���ilic Railway for $50,000 damages, The complainants claimed that three rears ago they were arrested at the instance of the railwav company which was trying to get them extradited to Canada on the charge of robbery. The extradition proceedings tailed, and the damage suit was brought as a result. The court today held that the torn- ilainants could not show that the 'anadian Pacific Railwav Company nad caused their arrest, the British onusul-geueral having appealed against them in lHllli with the regular extradition papers from tho Governor-General of Canada and the United States court, having decided thut the regular representatives nf the Governments,and not private individuals, are complainants in extradition proceedings.

New York, March 1.���Tbat Rud- yard Kipling's condition has improved very greatly during tho past 24 hours is evidenced by the fact that but one bulletin was posted during the day. That was of a very satisfactory nature and it was announced tonight that no further bulletins would be forthcoming until tomorrow afternoon. The bulletin issued at 2 o'clock this afternoon was as follows: "Mr. Kipling lias made satisfactory progresss. He lias but a slight fever, is comfortable, though weak, and resolution is takiug place in the affected portions of tlie lungs. " Another indication that the great writer is getting along well is that this evening he has asked to be shown tlie newspapers, an I he seemed to be gre itly pie se.1 and affected at the inlerest in his illness shown by the Ai.ericiin people.

EN ROUTE FOR MANILA. Hong Kong, March 2.���The United States-Philippine Commissioners left here today on board tlie United States cruiser Baltimore for Manila. Alexandria, Egypt, March 2.���Cecil Rhodes, who, in the eyes of most Englishmen is the incarnation of Imperialistic pnliov. holds views concerning the future of the United States even more far-reaching than most American Imperialist-- have broached. Mr Rhodes, in conversation recently with a representative of tbe Associated Press on hoard the steamer Hap- burg, on tho Mediterranean, by which he came to Egypt in the interests of tho Cape to Cairo Railroad and telo- grnph, predicted most confidently that within the century the United States would have advanced the work begnn in the acquisition of Cuba until it eon- lolleil all of the American hemisphere, except Canada. Mr. Rhodes, expressed admiration for tho work already done in Cuba and predicted that it would be carried on in the Philippines. The United States, he consider, oil one of the nations best equipped for colonization and repeatedly exclaimed : "Yon are talking to it like mother's milk, "apparently with the greatest delight. He did uot believe that the Ouited States would ever withdraw its authority from Cuba, aud thought the manner in which Spain had been *,.,.e.l from ber colonies- and '.he United States had taken possession. most business like Americans' actions in compensating Spain for tbe Philippines surprised him. "I would have bundled the Spaniards out and made them pay a war indemnity. " was his comment. He declared that the United States could never withdraw from the Philipines, because it was its duty to give these people a strong and good government; nor did be believe that, when they had begun to realize the results of their work, the Americans would desire to abandon the policy. They might grumble for a time over the expense, but that would bo a nitre flea-bite to a nation so rich. So far as the fear of provoking foreign entanglements and wars went, while England and the United States stood together and mi intained their present understanding, which was practically an alliance, no combination of powers dare menace them. To govern colonies, the United States must organize a staff of colonial officials, but they would do that easily as they would organize a new navy. To tho suggestion of the anti-Imperialists, that the Philippines would bo only tho beginning of colonization, be said: "There are no more islands of tlie sea to bo acquired. Thoy ore all taken up. The territory of savage races is practically all pre-empted by the civilized The ultimace work of the Uuited States will bo to govern South America. You will probably begin with Mexico, acquire tho Central American states, then those on the continent of South America, until you bold all the country to the south of you. These stales havo incompetent governments��� practically barbarian governments���and it will be your duty to give them the white man's government. Mexico is well governed; but a nation cannot depend on ono man ; and when Diaz is dead, it may be ruled no better than before him. Southward is the direction of the expansion of the Status. "The Philippines came to yon hy accident; these neighboring people it will be logically your duty t.*i provide for." Asked if Canada would logically be included in this expansion, he said thai; Canada had a good government, therefore there wus no need for change. Summarizing America's policy he said: "You people of tho United 1 States cannot always remain within ; yourselves. You cannot always go on making money. Yon must get out ��� into the world and take up your share of the world's business. "Already you are outgrowing your own country, you Will absorb oilier countries and give them good govern ment. Why should not you have it in your blood? The Philippines will furnish new careers for your young ,men. The whole work will strengthen Ontario Premier Asks the Home to Consider a Senate Resolution, Toronto, Out., March 2. ���In the Legislature yesterday Premier Hardy gave notice of the following resolution : That in the opinion of this House the provisions of the British North America Act, respecting Hie constitution and powers of tbe Senile I of Canada, ure at variance with the! well known principles of responsible ! government and should be brought more in harmony with those principles by an amendment to said Act, substantially providing that in case of n disagreement between the House of ('ominous and the Senate lbs point of difference shull be decided by majority of members of tho two Houses present and voting in a joint meeting. Further���that it is the opinion of this House Unit the British North America Act should bo so amended as to provide thnt appointment of Senators should ho for a limited term nf years and not for life as at present. NO FORMAL PROPOSITION London, March 2.���Replying In a question on the Sainoan question in the House of Commons today, iho Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign Olliee, the Rt. Hon.

C, March 2.���The Navy Department put the big double turreted monitor out of commission at the Norfolk Navy Yard yesterday and it is said nt tho T+uvig,.tiou Bureau that tills ship must be followed by others speedily, to tlie great detriment of the plans of the Department. The estimates submitted to Congress, based on the minimum requirements of the Navy, provide for 20,000 sailors. Con gross cut this down to 15,000. There are now IN, 000 men iu the service s i that HOOD of these ninst be dropped mnieiliately. Thai means, according fo the navigation officers, lhat a huge part of the North Athmtic squadron must go out of commission. The Asia- t.c squadron cannot be reduced m view of Dewey's necessities. Another difficulty is going to I e the Impossibility or rutting into condition the new ships as tbey are turned over to the Govern* ment by the builders, simply for want of men to man them. SENSATIONAL CASE. . IN GOLDEN KLONDIKE A Place Where Nuggets Are in Plenty. SICKNESS AT DAWSON Scurv-i is Prevalent and Commissioner Ogilvie Has Taken Moastires to Prevent its Spread. Victoria, March 2.���Mr. Riffle, n Dawson cl|��im owner, who was a passenger fo'Victoiia by the Tees, says that this month will see hundreds leaving Dawson ami few of them will come out with any gold. Many were sick at Dawson when lio loft, scurvy being the most prevalent disease. With the approach of the warm weather it is feared the disease will spread. Coin- Issioner Ogilvie has given orders tbat no meal was to he sold after April 1 n order to prevent the spread of scurvy. This order has had the effeot of reducing the price of beef. Rough pieces were being sold for 12% eents per pound, aud only prime parts lirought 25 cents per pound.

The owners of the new Opera House are entitled to great credit for their enterprise in providing a place of amusement tbat was much needed iu town, and the general wish will be that it -will prove as successful ns it is creditable. A building of the kind had become necessary, if we were to maintain the metropolitan character ���we were fast beginning to assume. but it required some courage to undertake it, and by risking tbe investment tre owners have put the community nnder a debt of gratitude to them. In respeot to the management, how- e*��er, there are some things that are sadly in need of mending. Much will be forgiven at the beginning. The owners Bre new to the business, and the unfinished condition of the building naturally encourages a disregard of the strict proprieties. But nothing should excuse tbe complaint made in a letter published in yesterday's Miner. If the statement were uot made ou the authority of a reputable correspondent, it would be difficult to believe that nny class of patrons indulge in the objectionable habit, of smoking during a performance This is' a most nnheard of thing, mid tbe management should take inst .nf steps to put a stop to it. Only tbe othor day Tbo Miner reproved the coarseness of some performers who recently appeared in the Opera House, reminding them that Nelson was not n rouuh mining camp. In tho face of our correspondent's letter, wb are not sure but this requires qualification. We do not know anything that would more certainly gain for us tbe reputation ot beiug both rough aud tough than to permit smoking in our theatre. Complaint has also been made of the oat-calls and other unearthly noises which frequenters of the gallery think themselves permitted to indulge in, to tbe great anuoyauce of the more respectable portion of the audience Noises of a similar nature are common in all theatres, but here they rise to the magnitude of an unbearable nuis ance, and unless checked the effect will be to drive away many who would otherwise be glad to patronize tbe performances. Something should be done, too, to discourage tho female practice of wearing large hats. This is a more difficult matter to deal with, but it has been faced in other places *��*ud with the most complete success. It goes without saying that no lady will appear at a place of publio enter tainmeut with a headgear that will prove an annoyance to others; but all women are not ladies, and tbe vanity of many makes them indifferent to the comfort or inconvenience of others. Ths woman who cannot go to the opera without her big hat should have the grace to stay at home. These are matters which the managers can put right by a little firmness, and the time to do it is at the very beginning. If wo start right, it will he easy to keep right. Con- ntil - i the reasons for privacy have ceased to I exist. Lord Brougham could not have intended to go farther when, in 1838, he ridiculed the idea ihat communications relating to publio business could be treated as confidential. In tbe present case, the reasons for privacy were still in full force, the question to winch the communication referred not having been dealt with. What are wo to think of this blatant publication? It is not permitted to us to think lhat Governor Mclnnes is himself a mistake; the decision of thnt question we leave to the politicians, but without much hope that they will bo able to agree upon it." Tho deep respect for official character manifested by The Monetary Times is not shared in to a like degree ny tho people of British Columbia, who long ago arrived at the conclusion that Ibe Lieutenant-Governor is himself a mistake. It is perhaps hardly fnir, however, to hold him responsible for this grave breach of the official amenities. Nn doubt lie acted ou tbe advice of bis Attorney-General, a gen- llonian who was never known to regard tbe proprieties, for the very sufficient reason that he is incapable of appieeiatiug Ihem. Fearfully and wonderfully constituted, he is and always has been a law unto himself. PIANOS AT Rossland is not to be satisfied with a member nt the Capital, but is also to havo a deputation. Having returned from bis effort to extract more appropriations, tho Mayor iu an interview roportB that be was too late, the Government uot oaring to reopen the Estimates, as it would be an invitation to all sections to put in fresh demands. But if tbe oity had been properly represented, he says, more would have beeu given in the first instance. To provide against failure another time, he recommends that a delegation be sent to Victoria at the next session, to be on the spot and see that justice is done to Rosslaud. Certainly our neighbors are in no danger of suffering through the want of nerve. Factory Prices. KOOTENAY SUPPLY CO. FROM $200.00 TO $1,000.00 EASYJTERMS. CANADA DRUG & BOOK CO.

A MISTAKE. The peculiar methods which distinguish officialdom at Victoria under the present regime aro attracting atten- ] tion abroad. Wo quote from The To- ronto Monetary Times: "Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes of British Colum- bia is charged with having made the j grare blunder of publishing a private communication, made to him from tho Colonial Secretary, through tho Canadian Government. It related to the reception or exclusion of Japanese subjects, as immigrants, and at the same time the publication was made the statement was ungraciously put forward that they would bo excluded. If suoh things are liable to occur, it is evident there must be au end to confidential communications between tb* Governments. Thoy are a convenience, when used within due limits; ���ven if the timo comes when the seal of seorecy can be removed. When does the time arrive when such removal can fairly be made?

" AINSWORTH DISASTER INVESTIGATION AT THE COURT HOUSii. 1)1411. Junius Qaudin, Before Whom the Evidence will be Given, Arrived in Nelaon Last Night* The investigation ordered "by the Provincial authorities in connection with the wreck of the Steamer Ainswortll on Koolenay Lake, near Crawford Bay, on Nov. 29 last, will begin at the Court House this morning he- fore Capt. Jnmes Gnudiu, nf the Department of Fisheries and Marine at Victoria. All preliminary details have heen cnrafully cared for bv Mr. IT. Unllock- Wehtscr, Chief of Provincial police. All of tne witnesses who will le examined during the investigation, nt least, those who could lie reached, hnve been summoned am' nearly nil of them were iu Nelson lust night. The Btory of the wreck of tne Ainswortll is still fresh iu the minds of residents of Kootonay. Word of lhe disnstor was received in Nelson on tha morning nf Not. 80. It wus ns bad news as Nolson over received and for a day or two nothing wus tnlkod ot on the Btreets or in public placet. The loss of the steamer was as nothing compared with the loss of the lives of nine mon, whose bodies still lay somewhora in the waters of Kootenay Lake. They were ull men well known in Nelsou aud some of them with extensive acquaintances throughout the Kootenay country. The survivors of the disaster urrived in Nelson with the news and their stories have been told and retold. There were at first charges made that the officers of the boat had shown the "'white feather" and other charges thnt the steamer was nnseaworthy. The West Kootenay Board ot Trnde conducted an inquiry on its own account and itB findings were thnt the officers had acted in a proper manner nnd thnt the boat, wns then senworthy. The mutter was then allowed to drop and nothing further was doue until the Provincial authorities ordered an inquiry which will begin today. Captain Gaudin, before whom the ,Y deuoe will be given, arrived in Nelson last night aud was seen at the Hume Hotel by i. reporter for The Miner. "The proceedings will uot be at all in the nature of a prosecution," said the Captain, "it is simply an investigation and after all tbe evidence has been received and thoroughly digested, I will make my report to the Department at Victoria. I think we will be able to finish the work by Saturday. There are undoubtedly many witnesses who have beeu summoned whose evidence will not be material, and these will not be heard. We do not intend to hurry the matter any but will listen to no hearsav evidence " The first session will be held this morning at 10 o'clock at the Court Houso and morning und afternoon sessions will be held until the inquiry is over.

The Liberals of Nelson have found a traitor in their camp. The meeting of the Liberal Association held nt the Hume Hotel, Wednesday night was supposed to bo in tbe nature of a se- oret session and the press wns to be supplied wilh just what the officers believed should he mado publio. Thus The Miner wus giveu the tinrnei of the officors elected, but nothing further and was not disposed to inanire into something, the publication of which would be objoctiouable to those most interested. But notwithstanding the fact that all those present at the meeting were morally bound to secrecy and that even the name of the defeated candidates for office were not giveu The Miner reporter, oue of these defeated candidates, his brother Liberals claim, gave to a reporter for The Tribune a detailed aocouut of the uniet- ABOUT PASTRY. Woll Attended Lecture at the Sohool of Cookery Yesterday. At the School of Cookery yesterday the members of the class wero given a taste of devilled crnh, chicken pie, apple pie, and cheese savory. The deli Ofioies, that Mis- Livingstone makes to illustrate her lectures, are passed around and they never fail to pie ise thn palate. Tlie lecture yesterday was on pastry and although Miss Livingstone makes this most essential part of n great ninny ehoico dishes in quite the ordinary way, the product of her skill proved to be remarkably good. The attendance was large and th*o lee- tnra was followed closely. Today's subject will be Yeast Doughs���Bread, Parker house rolls, hot cross buns, French rolls, etc. Tickets are being sold rapidly for the lecture on onmp cooking on Tuesday evening next. Miss Livingstone will cook a grant ninny things in one dish, as most campers aro forced to do. She will use only ingredionts thnt nre bandy enough to hnve in camp but it goes without saying that she will produce delicious delicacies that are seldom more than dreamt of by campers, lhe proceeds will be devoted to the Free Public Library so the attendance should be large. A great many men should avail themselves of this opportunity to learn how to enjoy all the comforts of a home while living under canvas. of grippe, is on the road to recovery and exuects to be out iu u few days.

Herr Franz Steiner, ti musician of repute in the Eastern States and i.i Europe, has recently arrived in Nelson wh to he will make his home. Herr Steiner is a 'cellist of great merit nnd a splendid pianist and violiu player. He has been associated with some of the very best orchestras in the old country and also on this side of the water and is in every way a most welcome acquisition to the musical circles of Nelson. He has recently been in Viotoria where he conducted several classes which he will also do in Nelson. He will make his headquarters at the store of the Art and Musio Co, on Baker street. GOES TO HILLYER THE ALDERMAN SECURES THE ASSETS OF THE GRAY ESTATE. HiB Offer of $11,600 Accepted at a Meeting of the Oreditors Held Last Night* The creditors of tho T. W. Gray estate last night, voted to accept an offer of Charles Hillver nnd others for thn purchase of the property of the estate, with the exception of the book debts. for $11,000. There were Borne objections to tho proposition of Mr. Hillyer, but out of 69 creditors or representatives of creditors voting on tho motion to accept the offer, only 17 were ngniust it. The meeting of tho creditors was held in the Hume Hotel last night, with John A. Turner, chairman, and R. S. Lei- nie, secretary. Mr. Turner stnted th* purposes for whioh the meeting hud been culled, i. e., to consider Mr. Hill- yer's proposition. Macdonald and Johnson, on behalf of the Merchants' Bank of Halifax and others, protested against a discussion of the matter ou the grounds that proper notice to all creditors had not heen giveu. Mr. S S. Taylor, representing Mr. Hillyer and his associates, took a baud in the affair and a somewhat heated debate followed, whioh was participated in hy nearly all of the leading members ot the Nelson bar. It was filially moved by Mr. W J. Wilson, and seconded by H. D. Ash- croft that "the offer of Charles Hillyer of Febru try 25, for the purchase of the assets of the estate, be accepted. " W. A. Macdonald, representing the Kootenay Supply Co., moved in amendment,seconded by Bradeu Bros., that "with respect to the offer of Charles Hillyer, such offer be not now accepted, but that this meeting adjourn for two weoks, to then consider such offer or nny other offer.'' A vote on tha amendment was taken by roll call, showing 52 against und 24 favorable. The amendment was declared lost and the original motion was then put and carried, by a vote of 62 fo 17. It was then moved bv Mr. Hugh Mo- Dermott, seconded by McLellnu nnd McFeelay, thnt a committee be appointed by the chair to make the ne cessnry arrangements to consilium* e the deal. The motion prevailed I ud the chuirinnu uppoiuted ns the committee: O. W. McAuu, Q. 0., of Kns lo, J. A. Kirkpntrick, H. D. Ashcroft. Upon motion of John Taylor, sec- ouded by Hugh McDermott, the assignee was authorized to make proper application to the court for confirmation of the sale. The meeting then adjourned. It is more than likely that only preferred and secured creditors will re- ceivo anything out of the settlement made. LOCAL A_D PERSONAL Mr. ti. S. Taylor, Q.

Bartley Campbell's powerful roninn- tio drama, "Divorce,' or "Woman Against Woman'' was the bill at the Opera House last evening. This piece is notable from the fact tbat there are three parts that have bi eti starred at various times. Mere than oue c "median has built up a reputation as M. 1 .Muggs, ihe broken down showman. This role was well taken by Mr. Robert Buchanan. He due** not claim to be the greatest comedian living i ut he certainly is entitled to the credit of giving ,i most amusing representation of the enterprising showman. As Harry Grantley, Victor Lambert, was most acceptable. It is a difficult role to play and it is worth remarking that it is one of the longest iu the short cast plays so popular with stock companies. Miss Grade Hayes scored another success in the emotional part of the neglected wife. Miss Hayes has become a Nelson favorite. Her acting is good, aud what is equally as much iu favor with audiences, she gives her lines distinctly, Edward Buchanan left but little to be desired as the deserted husband while the Sallie Annie Waddles of Miss Buchanan was most enjoyable, The part of the adventurer taken by Miss Mr Alpine was very clever at times. The other members tributed their share to the entertain- meu of the audience. The old favorite Bast Lynne in un ilerlitied for tonight. Hazel Kirk will be the matinee attraction tomorrow.

E., the general manager of tho yellowstoue mine, was in Ymir Saturday. He savs they have IS men nt work. It is an excellent prospect and everything is going on satisfactorily. The Yellowstone is being eugiueeied by private capital. The Dundee mill lias rammed work- after having been temporarily shot lown in consequence of the phenomenal cold snap, wliicb froze up nil the pipes. Wagon lo.ids af concentrates, averaging between $60 and $K0 per ton, are coming down continually and are being shipped to the Northport smelter. The first-class ore from the richer chutes from which the smelter returns averaged $55 per ton, will be shipped without concentration. In No. 1 tunnel on the Rio Grande a large body of ore. averaging from $18 to $:i0 per ton in all values, was met with in a quite unexpected posi tion. Work has been commenced upon a second tunnel which will tap a ledge which has splendid surfaco showings. At the depth of HI feet nn Ibis vein an assay was taken which returned $60 in all values, of which $80 was in The Nebulous Africander Republic as Seen By Cecil Rhodes. Perhaps of all the colonies and possessions, Canadians, next to their own, are most interested in South Africa. And of all colonial personages Mr. Cecil Rhodes is undoubtedly the most interesting. To a correspondent of The Moining Post he has . een giving nis views on the South African situation: "I spoke at Klipdam and generally in my constituency during election of ' Krugerism ou an Afrikander basis.' lhat is what a considerable party in South Africa is trying to make per- nauciif. If yon asked me to defint the aim of ihese persons I should say it was a distant and a nebulous Repub neon an Afrikander basis. Do uot misunderstand me. A great portion * 1 the Dutch population in tbe colony is loyal, admirably loyal. But there ih a sei-tiou which has in view���bazilj ������iiougb. I daresay���tbe sort of objective 1 have described. And this is jus what every good subject of Queen viotoria must do his level best '. ���oinbat. It does not matter wbetbri be is British or Dutch, his duty is pre- lisely the same " Plainly.the one chance of the Cap- lolony and of the whole country fr i,*. lie Lion's Head to the Zambesi, is init racial srrife should cease to be .-.e have two races, both of them streu ions and dominant They have had nsseiision in the past���dissensions .vbich were largely due to time am* .pace obstacles which day by day grow less. But, whatever these dis tensions, they must cease���th y shall cease. "Very well; hut, while there must ne an end of racial discussion, there .re limits to the methods by which one wishes to see that good end reached. "To begin with, it is not right that a National party,I composed almost tn 1 man of the members of one race- be Dutch���should be given an immense advantage politically to another -.arty, of which the great majority is British. Yet this bas been the rela- t ve position of Boud aud Progressive in the Colony, when the Bond, with .,0,000 votes bad a victory at the polls over 56.000 Progressive voters. The Redistribution Bill will make tbe odds more evenly balauceu���I do not mean balance the odds more evenly between Dutch aud English but between English and Dutch Progressive and Dutch Bondsman. It will dofer the realization of that nebulous Republic! "Now you will say very fairly : B*it bow, believing so much in the necessity of English and Dutch agreement, did you come to subscribe to a Resolution against a Dutch Government in an independent State'- This brings me to the Transvaal and of the Transvaal I will say this. The British people have one very fine trait which I do not think you will find so easily in any other nation; they have always a good word foi their opponents' side. It seems a permanent feature in the British character. And do you notice that if an adversary is weaker than ourselves how this feeling is emphasised? "But let us ask ourselves a few- questions. Firstly,is it an old population like the French in Canada.' On the contrary, it is new. It ceased to be an independent State because it oould not goon and,rightly or wrongly, it was annexed. 'Iben as you know, it was given bac'< to ils President and population, and its independence restored. This was due entirely to tbe generosity of Queen Victoria One piint here: Has tbe re-established Sate been grateful? (me knows that the President���fine old fellow and all- has intrigued everywhere against the Sovereign who restored his State "But now comes in the new population, the Utilanders. "Thoy develop tne country, tbey convert the pastoral State that was bankrupt a short time before into one of the richest Srates of its size anywhere ; aud then, when I hey have interests and Implications which thev cannot leave, or cannot leave without loss, nn comes the thumb screw, and the details of the taxation and all tho grievances von know as well as I do "If I were President Krngor I dare say I might not have giveu the Uit- Tailor spend his money in Nelson ?
