to waive the suggested commission of in
quiry. provided a representative to be ap-
pointed by Sir Alfred Miner. should be
given facilities in Pretoria to make an in

provided the report of such representative
should prove satisfactory. Otherwise, the

await further suggestions from the i'm
periai government before submitting the
new proposals to the Volksraad Mr.,
Green's note, in conclusion, suggested a
further conference at Capetown.
