position adopted by the impe-
rial government. Any such weakness
would be fatal to the future maintenance
of British authority in South Africa
Referring to the speech of Sir William
Vernon Harcourt last evening in New
Tredgar, England, Sir John said he
considered 1t 'ill-advised and injudicious,
especially at the present juncture In
his opinion Harcourt's assertion that
Great Britain could not claim general SUI
zerainty would do more than anything
else to encourage disaffection.
Il would remind the British public"
said Sir John, that Sir William Veraon
Harcourt is the member of the govern
ment really responsible for all the politi-
cal troubles in South Africa since 1881"
WORK DONE SECRETLY.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-WhHe the precise
result of the secret session of the raad
OF the Orange Free State Is not vet
known here, President Steyne's speech at
the opening of the session g regarded
as an almost infalllble indication of the
attitude which the free state Will take.
Commenting from-this point of view the
London morning papers are all impressed
with the added gravity of the situation
and murmurs are beginning to be heard
regarding the dilatoriness of the govern
IL
tery men are said to be impatient They
assert that everything there is ready and
that they are only waiting for orders.
1t is recognized that the attitude of
the Orange Free State makes the original
estimates entirely too small. A much
larger force will be required. The gov
