Cape Colony and the Transvaal.

Mr.. SCHRENERs fiat-fOotnd declaration in
support OF President KRrGERs attitude
toward the franchise question will have n
powerful effect both in England and South
Africa. Mr.. SCITREGNER was the Attorney
General in the last SpriGg Ministry. He
is now the Premier Of Cape Colony With
the exception OF Mr.. HoFMEYR, no Cape
Colonist Of Dutch descent Is better known
or thought Of Mr. SCHREINER has moro
than once gone out Of his way to emphasize
his loyalty and the loyalty of his Dutch
supporters to British rule. In the last cleo
tions, when Sir GORDON SPRIGG very fool
ishly tried to mako British supremacy the
dominant issue. Mr.. SCHREINER declined to
accept it as an issue Mt all. "Afrikanlers. "
he said, were loyal to the backbone, and
wished to live under no other flag than the
British" and he proved it in his own person
by making "a substantial contribution to
the imperial navy" the foremost plank In
his platform. The detection Of so inlucn-
tal and moderate n statesman, whose
fidelity to the British connection has al
ways been tndisputable, must add seriously
to tho complexities which Downing street
has set itself to unravcl.
1t is well known that one OF the reasons
which deferred Mr.. GLADSTONE from aveng-
ing Maiuba Hill was the fear that the
Dutch settlers in Cape Colony and the
Orange Free State might hasten to tho
side OF their knsmcn in tho TranRvaal and
SO plunge the whole OF South Africa into
civil war. Mr.. SCIIREINER has made it
very clear that ifhostilities break out again

with As the Premier Of Cape Colony and
the leading member OF the Afrikandcr
Bond, his words express moro than q
merely personal opinion. They may safely
be accepted as embOdving the views of the
vast majority OF the Dutch population in
Cape Colony.
The Afrkander Bond was formed shortly
after the war with the Transvaal, which
greatly stimulated Dutch feeling through
out South Africa. 1t took its stand on the
doctrine that an Afrikandcr first duty was
to South Africa and that the country should
be ruled in accordance with local sentiment
and not solely with view To British inter
ests. As practically all the Dutch settlers
in Cape Colony make their living by stock
raising or agriculture, the Bond became the
exponent of rural interests and inclined to
a protective tariff and stringent legislation

The Navy Bureau System.

The board OF officers which was directed
to inquire whether any change should be
made in the naval regulations regarding
the jurisdiction and work of the various bu-
reaus, in order to bring them into greater
harmony, has reported that no such change
is necessary. 1t has recommended, how
ever, that where disputes or differences Of
opinion arise in the Board OF Construction,
that cannot be settled there the questions
shall he referred to the Inspection Board
for review and decision.
Nearly five years ago Secretary HERBERT
published II regulation giving a marked
increase Of authority to the Chief Con-
structor. especially in the requirement that
no changes should be made in ships of the
navy without having the matter first re-
fcrred to him. The ground of the rcgula-
ton was that since the Chief Constructors was
responsible for the stability and displacc-
ment of the vessels, his concurrence should
be obtained before making alterations, for
example. in the weight of armament or ma
chincry. One of the questions which has re-
Gently been under consideration is whether
this regulation should be revoked but the
decision appears to be that it shall stand.
Tho strongest argument in its favor was
that vessel might he made top heavy by
