Cali II Treason.

Call 1t Treason.
London, Sept. 2l,-The speech Of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt at New
Tredegar last night and the message
from the capetown Afrikander mem
bers of parliament to Kruger, sympa-
thizing with their Afrikander relatives,
proved red rags to the war at any
price party. The cape papers declare
the action of the members of paria-
naent amounts to almost treason and
the same terms are applied to Har-
courts remarks by the English anti
Boer papers.
The report that Kruger has person
ally petitioned the queen to avert hos
tilities certainly does not bear out the
alarmist reports of English correspond
ents in South Africa that Kruger de-
termined long since upon war. Never
theless preparations for that eventual
ity continue energetically on both
sides.
