attention to the Transvaal situation.
The Earl of Dunraven and others fol-
lowed. all declaring that any departure
from the recognized policy Of the gov
eminent would be an act of inestimabe
danger to the position of Great Britain
not only in South Africa, but it might
shake the imperial existence of Great
Britain itself.
The Earl of Selbourne, under secre-
tary for the colonies, made statement
similar in purpose to that made in the
house of commons by Mr.. Cham berlain
Lord Salisbury reminded the house
that he absolutely dissented from the
policy of 1881, which was tainted with
grave fault of optimism. Nevertheless
President Kruger assented in the proto-
col of the 1881 convention to friendly
cooperation of the races, while he has
since taken , absolutely opposite line,
his only effo~t being to separate the
English ane South African govern
ments and to reduce the English to the
status Of subjugated race.
The premier declared that if the lat
est concessions were genuinely carried
out the government might look for
ward to a peaceful solution of the cri-
sis. Her majesty's government, he
said, had put their hands to the pillow
and certainly did not intend to with
draw them.

ST. PAUL, July pa Great North
ern official states regarding President
Hills visit to Huron and his reported
trip through the surrounding country
that it is possible that the road will
build a branch line through to the Mis-
souri, river or to some point on the river
and thence to Yankton, connecting
with the Yankton branch. It is ad-
mitted that the Huron branch has
not been as profitable to the system as
was anticipated when it was built,
since the section lying around Huron is
not rich farming country. The Mis-
sonri valley, on the contrary, is pro-
ductive and we'll settled. 1t is thought
that President Hill may build into this
se;tion with the hopes Of working up a
teight and passenger business with a

Cuba.
II favor the policy of peace. shall
be glad to return to my country and
support such policy if it is inaugu-

not quickly done to establish order and
peace, more revolutionary expeditions
will follow that of General Jiminez and
General Horales, who led band from
Cuba against Heureaux."

DTosent Situation Admitted to
Be Dangerous to lmpe-

LONDON, July 29.-Speaking on the
Transvaal question in the house Of
commons Joseph Cham berlain said a
crisis in South Africa had been reached.
The grievances of the Outlanders,
Mr.. Chamberlain said, were admitted
on all hands to be serious, but the most
serious part was that the outrageous
treatment to which they were subjected
was part of the settled policy pursued
by the Beers. The situation was dan
gerous to imperial interests. AS regards
the racial feud growing out of the war,
race antagonisn already existed and was
poisoning the community. The danger of
disaffection in Cape Colony and the
Orange Free State was entirely due to
the action of the Transvaal. twas not
a question of five or seven years fran
chise, but of the power and authority
of the empire and Of the position OF
Great Britain in South Africa. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Chamberlain said:
Cannot Back Down Now.
1--WE have undertaken the cause of
the Outlanders and are bound to see it
through. We shall not rest until a con-
clusion satisfactory to us has been
reached. I anticipate that the efforts
towards settlement will be successful,
but we will not tie our hands in regard
to measures that may be necessary to
fulfill anticipations.
Mr.. Chamberlain justified imperial
Intervention because it was the right of
every civilized power to protect its own
subjects; secondly, because Great Brit
ain had the right of intervention under
the convention as the suzerain power;
and, thirdly, because the convention
had been broken in letter and in spirit
The house adopted the colonial Office
vote without division after a pro-
tracted debate upon the South African
policy of the government.
