While the Cape ministry had not on

those of the officials responsible for the

just to accuse the colonial ministers

Clearly it was much better that some

Regarding the question of the liabiI

republic. In soaking later Of the rcso-
luton and the reasons for presenting
it, Rev. Mr.. Butler said:
The katfirs and other nations of
South Africa are kept in practical
slavery. especially in the mining dis
tricts. No matter what may be said
again the English. they have always
been the first to abolish slavery wher-
ever they have found it. The lives Of
the cOlorCd race in South Africa have

Beers in their strife as republic, We

Due TO Change Of Rulers Empress Dowager

Berlin, March 29.-Bishop Amer of

China is largely attributable to the
change of rulers, as the present dis
turbers of the peace have been melted
by numerous cdicts Of the Empress
DoWaEer to prosecute foreigners and
Christians. These edicts. however.
were not intended primarily against
foreigners but, according to Bishop
Amer, their issuance was Il tactical
step on the part of the Empress to
gain the support of the mandarins and
other leaders Of the old China party.
He considers her an extraordinarily
gifted woman with whom the Euro
pean powers must reckon. whereas it
is far otherwise in the case Of the de-
posed emperor.
