EXPRESSION FROM RAAD.
Regrets Massing OF Troops on the From
tier, But viii Do Nothing.


PRETORIA, Sept. 9.-In the first raad
debate was resumed on the interpret
lation of the government respecting
the concentration of British troops on
the border and the stoppage of ammu-
milton consigned to the Transvaal.
The house adjourned after adopting
by unanimous vote the following
resolution:
1.-The voll1sraad, having considered
that friendly correspondence is still
passing between the two governments;
that the concentration of troops in
great number near the border has a
detrimental and restless effect on the
inhabitants of the state, and that the
Transvaal has lived in friendship and
peace, now declares its regret at the
fact of concentration, and expresses
the opinion that, in the case Of eventu-
alties, which might lead to enmity or
war between the two governments,
the cause would not lie with the re-
public. AS regards the stoppage of
ammunition at Delagoa bay, the
vollSsraad trusts that the government
will act according to circumstances.
The raad further resolves to drop the
matter of the concentration of troops
on the border for the present until the
government shall supply further in
formation to the raad, although the
information received is unsatisfactory.
Nevertheless, and with a view to the
results of the negotiations which are
pending. the raad declares itself de.
termined in the meantime to maintain
the rights and independence Of the
rapublic"
