son, Jameson, with his little band
crossed the border. They were out
numbered by the Boars and either TAX
en- prisoners or slain. Jameson's un-
justlfable action placed the English
government in n bad position. The
English high commissioner Of South
Africa came to the Transvaal with a
view to arranging terms for the re-
lease Of Jameson's band. England was
In the wrong 50 far as JamesOn's ac-
ton was concerned, and Dom Paul had
the best Of the argument, and the only
condition upon which he would release
the prisoners was that the reform COM
mlttee would turn over their arms to
the Beers. The high commissioner sent
a representative to the reform commit
tee, and to save Jameson and his men
and on the assurance from Kruger that
no action would be taken against
them, and on the high commissioner
promising that the English government
would see that the reforms agreed TO
by the Boers would be carried out, the
committee turned over their arms to
the Beers.
Hardly had the arms been turned
over when Kruger turned round and
caused the arrest Of sixty-four Of the
leaders Of the reform committee. They
were thrust into prison, and after a
lapse Of three weeks were released un-
der heavy bonds pending their trial
for high treason. 1t was arranged be-

If the latter would plead guilty the
sentence would be only nominal pun

severe sentences that could be passed

in force in that country. Four Of the
committee were sentenced to be hanged

A Former Outlander Tells of OppreS-
sion on the Part of Kruger.
A POWERFUL INDICTMENT
Victor Clemens Claims the Beers are
Ignorant and Degenerating and are
Little Better Than Kaffirs.

The English side Of the war in South
Africa and the causes that led up to it
are briefly and clearly stated by Vic
tor NJ. Clement, who lived in the Trans
vaal three years, and who was one Of
the committee that made an armed
protest against the alleged abuses Of
the BOer government. Mr.. Clements
Statement follows:
In 1886, when gold was discovered
In the Transvaal, that country was mis-
erably poor and the government had
no credit. 1t was largely in debt and
things were at so low an ebb that the
government could not negotiate a loan
for a paltry sum of $4,000. Being in
most urgent need Of the money, Pres
ident Kruger Of the so-called BOer re-
public finally found a Jew named Sam
Marks, who made the loan, taking as
security therefor a mortgage on sixty
Boer farmers, each comprising many
thousands of acres.
Following the discovery Of gold there
was rush of English, Americans, Ger
mans and French TO the Transyaal, and
by them and The capital which flowed
in with them the country has become
one of the richest in the world In
spite of the obstacles placed in the
way, the mines have become the great
est producers Of the yellow m5tel in
the world, but oppression Of the for
eigners by the Boer government has be-
come intolerable.
''The systems Of concessions is d
great evil. The government, for in
stance, for a large consideration, most
Of which finds its way into the pockets
Of dishonest officials, granted the sole
right to one firm to sell dynamite. The
result is that miners have to pay most
exhorbtant prices for that to them in
dispensable material The exclusive
right to build railroads in the Trans
vaal was sold to a Holland company,
and so on down the line, until the priv
ilege of selling almost every commo-
dity is granted to some firm or individ-
ual. This state of things is almost as
bad for the rank and file Of the Beor
population as for the foreigners, and
