British Agent at Pretoria Sent to
Johannesburg to Investigate.

JOhanneSDurS 10
LONDON, Feb LIN view of the alarm
ing stories afloat regarding the situation
at johannesburg Transvaal, the Secretary
of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain. has ordered the British
agent at Pretoria, the capital, to go to
johannesburg and report the true situa-
ton of affairs to the Colonial Office.
The Times this morning has dispatch
from Pretoria, containing a long interview
with President Kruger, in which he re-
peated that he had long considered how TO
meet the wishes of the Uitlanders. The
Executive Council had to-day discussed
an educational scheme acceptable 10 them
and against the objections of its members.
He had refused to be Influenced by recent
events, and il had been decided to submit
scheme for local self-government in Jo-
hannesburg. He could give no promise,
he said. on the question of the franchise
The government must discover which were
the loyal elements of the UitlanderS' popu-
lation. The franchise could not be given
to every newcomer, for they arrived by
thousands every year, and would soon
swamp the original population. The Times
correspondent adds: "The interview left
upon me the impression that, as far as
possible, without jeopardizing the interest
of the burghers, President Kruger is
anxious to meet the wishes of the loyal
newcomers. Next Monday has been
definitely fixed for the investigation of the
charges against the political prisoners"
