before had the administration and colony
of Natal completely identified them
selves with the mother country. They
knew they would be the first to bear the
brunt of attack; yet they threw in their
lot heart and soul with the mother country.
Her Majesty's present advisers claim, quite
as earnestly as any previous government
could have claimed, to be anxious for the
honor and interests of the country. That
is why they have supported the principle
of protection for British subjects. That
is why they uphold and confirm the suze-
rafnty of England.
"Our countrymen have seen a magnif-
cent demonstration not only of loyalty but
of sympathy with the objects of the govern
ment on the present colonies l have been
as anxious for peace as any man, but the
government held that there are consider
ations which are even more important than
peace and one of these is the maintenance
of equality between the white races in
South Africa.

Mr.. Chamberlain retorted: II say again

The speaker: II hope such expressions
will not occur again."
Proceeding to discuss the question of SUI

1.-THE whole object of the Beers has been
to Gust the queen from her position as
suzerain. Now they have thrown off the

Mike Gordon was arrested yesterday

Waterman waited until Gordon had

the man arrested.

IS AFTER BUTTE'S SCALP
Billings Eye Is on the Baseball
Championship.
MAKING A STRONG TEAM
1earfoss Has Been Seduced From HI,
Allegiance and the Billings Mana
ger Is Securing the Coun-
try for Players.

Billings is after the scalp of Butte
Montana has made up its mind to
wrest the baseball championship from
Butte if it is a possible thing to do it.
Already the Billings club has seduced
Iearfoss from the Butte & Boston
team and he will hereafter play in
Billings uniform. Zearfoss was tried
as catcher by the New Yorks, but while
apparently not strong enough for the
National league has been a cracker
jack for Butte behind the bat and at
first base.
But besides swiping Zearfoss the Bill
llngs club has sent it's manager to St.
Paul and Minneapolis to get some more
hrst class men. The following from
st. Paul player is slightly mixed,
but it shows what Billings is doing:
Manager Colwell of the Butte,
Mont. team has been in the Twin CitZ
les for couple of days trying to Sc
cure couple of intielders and pitch
er for his team. There is great rivalry
between Butte and Helena, and UP to
date Helena has the best of the bar
gain. Manager Colwell proposes to
strengthen his team for the sole pur-
pose of doing up Helena He has Sc
cured Charlie Reilly from Jimmie Man
ming and is thinking of taking Eddie
Burke along to play short. Eddie's
suspension here cuts no figure, as the
Montana clubs are not under the ma
tional agreement. He would also like
to get Denzer, but Rogers fate is yet
hanging in the balance"
Now, Colwell instead of being man
ager of Butte team is manager of
the Billings team, and evidently he is
getting players for Billings instead of
Butte. AS far as Helena is concerned,
that town is out of the running. The
Boston & Montana team of this city
has beaten the Helenas four games
out of five. If Billings thinks it can
get club together that can beat
Butte, let it come on. There are two
first class teams in Butte, the Butte
& Boston and the Boston & Montana.
The Billings boys can have a whack
at both of them and will be welcomed
to this city. Come on, Billings, and
hanged be the club that first cries.

it to be empty he started away with
it under his arm. Before he had gone
very far he met Chinese merchant,
