self to be able in every particular. but
she met the old racer Defender in a
friendly brush of mile to windward

ease. 1t took the Columbia about three
minutes, sailing from the Defenders

five minutes she was 100 yards ahead.

of this city last evening. reviewed care

In the Course of his speech he said

proposed in 1894 had been accepted.
said the minister. There would have
been no raid ard no crisis at the pfca-
ent But the raid Tied the hA@ds OF
the government and prevented the
application of pressure.
Mr.. Chamherlain said the govern
mcnt had tried To establish friendly re-
lations with President KRUGER. hut all
their advances had been received with
contempt He then proceeded to oulo-
gi2e Sir Alfred liilner, governor of

After deaouncng in the strongest
terms the att.;unc nnd actions OF the
Beers. Mr.. Chamberlain will great
dcliberation and emphasis. added:
THE Transyaals enormous secret
service fund has procured it friends
and advocates in every country. The
way the British subject there is treated,
is not only menace to them, but in
terfercs with our prestige among the
natives. who aaw regard the Beers
and not the British. as the paramount
power.
besides the breaches OF the London
convention the Tralsyaai is iiaGrhntsy
violating the equality that convention
was intended 20 secure. It's misGcF-
eminent is IA fostering sore poisoning
the whole atmosphere Of South Africa
The Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal
would be in the happiest condition but
so long as the disease OF hatred and
suspicion prevails in Transvaal it is
impossible TO stop the contagion.
-Four times since independence was
granted we have been OH the verge OF
war with the Transvaal. II is enron,
eous to say the British government
wants war. hut it is equally erroneous
to say that the government will draw
back. now that it has put Its hand to
the pillow.
I'VE hope that the efforts that arc
now being made will lead to IN ann
cable arrangement, for Great Britain
only desires justice. but there comes
time when patience can hardly be
distinguished from Weakness and wheu
moral pressure becomes farce, that
cannot be continued without loss OF
self respect. | trust that time may
never come in this instance. but if il
does Britons will insist upon finding
the means to secure a result essential
to the peace of South Africa.
