TENDER 21.-The Voiksread met to-day
with full attendance. President Steyn
read carefully prepared speech. Aft
er welcoming the burghers he expressed
regret that the relations between Great
Britain and the TranSyaal had become
strained. The members, he said, were
aware Of the meeting Of Sir Alfred
Miner and President Kruger at Bloem-
fontein, when President Kruger made
proposals which. although refused by
the British High Commissioners, were
unanimously considered throughout the
Orange Free State to be exceedingly
fair.
Proceeding 10 review the negotiations,
PRESIDENT Steyn said the rransvaal had
peen decoyed by the British diplomatic
"sehl at PRETORIA, Cnnygham Greene,
and he practically accused the IMPERIAL
rernmcnt Of u breach OF faith. He
said he was disinclned to advise the
i'ransvaal Government to accept the
latest British demands. The present
critical state OF affairs could not be a
matter Of indifference to the Orange
rree State. which was bound by treaty
TO afford assistance to the Transyaal.
ana he had, therefore, convened the
Eoiksraad to decide what attitude
should be taken.
rhere is nothing" declared the pres
ident, that warrants war or an at
tack upon The Transvaal Such differ
ences as exists can be solved by arbi-
ligion and civilization"
In conclusion, President Steyn said
