THE RECENT TROUBLES.

Such, then, has been the legal status
and had it not been for the discovery
OF the gold mines of the Rand, and the
accompanying influx OF foreigners, the
Beers would to-day probably be peace
fully herding their cattle and filling
their farms. The Beers took pains to
keep the government in their own
hands. The mines were heavily taxed,
and a government monopoly in explo-
siyes was created, by Which the Gov
eminent soon became rich at the ex-
pense of the mine owners. Johannes
burg became large city whose popu-
lation at the beginning of the present
year consisted OF %, 500 foreigners, or
uitlanders as they are called, and only
I,039 Beers; yet the latter have prac-
tically run the city.
Naturally the uitlanders have been
dissatisfied, and on March oath of this
year the British subjects among them
addressed petition TO the English
Government, signed by 21,6S4 sigma
lures, reciting their grievances. Eng
land at once took up their cause and
finally a conference was arranged be-
tween President Kruger and Sir Alfred

THE WAR IN THE TRANsvAAL.
Brief History of the Troubles Be-
tween England and the Beers.

War In South Africa betweo1 Eng
land and the Transvaal IS ut last real
ity. The strained relations between
the two Governments we're brought to
a sudden crisis on Tuesday of last week
when the Transvaal Government hand
ed to the British diplomatic agent at
Pretoria an ultimatum, offering to sub
nit the questions in dispute to arbltra-
ton or any other amicabe way that
could be mutually agreed upon, but at
the same time demanding that the
English troops should be Immediately
withdrawn from the border and that
the troops now on the high seas should
not be landed at South African ports.
England was given till Wednesday even
ing to answer, but, rs was TO be ex-
pected, she totally ignored the demands.
War is the result, and it is apt to be a
long and bloody conflict before the sub
jugatiOn of the Beers, which seems to
be the only possible result, is accom-
plished.
For the benefit OF our readers who
have not followed closely the events OF
the past few months, We will endeavor
to explain briefly the causes that have
led up to this unfortunate struggle.
EARLY HISTORY OF THE BOERs.
In the first place, we must go back to
the early history of the Beers. They
are the descendants of the early Dutch
settlers Of Cape Colony. AS a result OF
the wars between Holland and England
Cape Colony became part of the Brit
ish Empire about tho close of the 18th
century The Dutch inhabitants, how
ever, have never liked their conquerers
and between 1888 and 1897, some 6,000
forsook their homes and marched into
the wilderness OF Africa, there to found
new country, where they could be
free and Independent.
Their first stopping place was in Ma
tai and Orange Free State. The new
Boer colonies. however, we're still
claimed by Great Britain; and some OF
the Dutch pushed farther into the will
derness across the Vaal river, founding
the Transvaal. These Beers refused to
recognize British sovereignty, and in
1852, England entered into an agreement
with Andres Pretorius, the Boer lead :
err, formally granting to those north of
the yaal ''the right to manage their
own affairs and to govern Themselves
according to their own laws, without
any interference on the part OF the
British Government. y Two years later
the same privileges were granted to the
Orange Free State.

.NSVAAL INDEPENDENCE.

the people was deplorable. Finally. in
1877, when the entire white population
of South Africa was in danger of being
annihilated by the natives. England felt
called upon to intervene, and tho repub-
lie was formally annexed as a British
colony. Tho Beers made little com
plant at first. OF the executive coun-
sill, Paul Kruger alone entered a protest
and refused to serve under the new
government. But after the natives
had been subdued, Kruger and Joubert
commenced an agitation to regain the
independence of the republic, and in
1880 the Transvaal nag was raised.
The fighting took place on the borders
OF Natal, where the Beers administered
four crushing defeats to the British
troops ending with the famous battle
OF Majuba hill.
England was ready to quit, and on
March q, 1881, signed treaty recog-
nizing the independence of the Trans
vaal. On February q, 1881, further
convention was signed by which the
British government retained only the
power of vetoing, within six months
after their conclusion, treaties between
the Transvaal and any other countries
except the Orange Free State. 1t was
expressly stated that England gave up
all pretension to interfere in the inter
nal affairs OF the South African Repub-

Recent and vigorous agitation Of the
subject in the press and in the lectures
