there, greeted him with a friendly

Bishop Hartzell bitterly denounced the

the outlanders was outrageous.
Speaking OF the future, the bishop
said:

SIDES WITH
Bishop Hartzell Makes an Anti-Boer
Address.

= Chicago, May 4.-Bishop J. c. Hart
zell pleaded the cause Of the Rriton in
the ~Iransvaal last night before an au-
d1ence that almost filled the Audito-
rum. He spoke from impressions
gained by personal observations of con-
dltlons In south Africa, from personal
acquaintance with President KRUGER
and his advisers and from close study Of
laws and the administration of laws
by the government. Bishop HartzeIl
made his argument in behalf of the
English. The audience was pro-British
in it's sympathies. Bishop HartzeIl
said:
In the treatment of the black races
Ihere mas been a clear antagonism be-
tween the Briton and the Boer from
the very beginning. The Boer be-
ueVes that the natives are the children
Of Ham and are intended by Provi-
dence for slavery.
Inc constitution provides that there
shall be no equality between white and
c0lored persons in church or state. no
black man can walk on the sidewalk
IN town or city. This includes not only
native teachers and preachers trained
Dy foreign missionary societies. but also
black or mulattO people who come from
cape Colony or elsewhere. No black
man can own land in the TransvaaI
NO black man can become a trader of
any KIND, no matter what his inteI1i-
gence or how good his character. Up
70 Two a & there could be no
regal marriage of any black person. A
marriage law was passed requiring a
zee OF $l5. with other hindrances so
many that the missionaries and philan-
lurVplsts are seeking to have it re-
ledleu. NO black man has a STANDING
