TT MEANS MUCH
Repeal of Transvaal Immigra-
tion Law Considered Highly
Important.
1t Removes a Large Portion of
the Friction Between Beers
and English
As Well as Between Cape Colony
and the Transvaal Gov
ernmentS.

LONDON, May 1O.-Great Importance
lis attached to the decision of the Trans
vaal volksraad at a secret session held
at Pretoria on Wednesday last, to re-
peal the Transvaal immigration law.
The meeting was held to discuss the
phswer to be made to the dispatches of
he British secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, who
demanded a repeal of the Jaw. The
aw is repealed, but it is explained this
tep was taken, not because the meas
ire was breach of the London con-
yention, but because it was distasteful
o neighborlng states. The Transvaal
tate attorney rendered his resignation
II disapproval of the repeal. This
action of the Transvaal government, it
5 said here, clearly indicates back
lown upon the part of President
Kruger and the volksraad, and renders
he chances of war remote. 1t is the
most important concession yet made by
he Transvaal, and removes the chief
ause Of friction, not only between the
'ransvaal and Great Britain, but be-
ween Cape Colony and the Transvaal.
1t was OH this point that Mr.. Cham
erlain's dispatch took almost the
orm of an ultimatum.
