DUTCH COLONIES WILL BE AN
NEXED TO BRITISH EMPIRE.
A Dependency Of the Crown-Manu.
featuring Industries-Futureo of

New York. June 4.-The Tribune's Lon
don correspondent says:
The immediate sequel to the war will
be the ANNEXATION of the two Dutch COM
monwealths to the British empire. There
will be temporary arrangements for mill
tary government. but ultimately they
will be converted into self-goyerning de-
tendencies of the crown like other colon
ial possessions. AS time goes on the same
tendency which has brought about con-
federation in Canada and Australia will
operate in South Africa. That this con-
federation will be essentially Dutch is evi-
dent from the following exhibit of popula-
ton at the outbreak of the war: Cape
Colony, 147,0O0 British, 229.OO0 Dutch; /;

Ri0TING STRIKERS.
Boy is Fatally Shot-Dynamite is
Freely Used.

st. Louis, June "A riot of small
proportions, during the progress of which
boy was fatally shot and a dynamite ex-
plosion occurred, marred what would
have been an otherwise uneventful Sab
bath day.
AS car on the Tower Grove line was
passing the corner of 18th and Calhoun
streets crowd of strike sylnpathizers
threw rocks at it. An unknown man In
the car fired a revolver into the crowd.
The bullet struck Peter Frank, 16 years
old, who was sitting in the doorway of his
fathers house. A detachment OF police
dispersed the rioters. The boy will die.
At a late hour this afternoon an ex-
plosion of dynamite shattered the cable
conduit and switches in the Olive street
line at the intersection of Maryland and
Boyle avenues. No one was injured but
traffice on that end of the line had to be
suspended. There is no clue to the per-
petratorS.
More than the usual quota of police
was furnished today for the protection
of passengers and crews and as a result
the number of cars on the various lines
OF the Transit company was materially
increased. Cars We're operated on six
teen lines.
This morning the nucleus of the First
regiment of special deputies forming
Sheriff Pohlmann's posse commitatus
consisting of ten companies of sixty men
each armed with shotguns, were assign
ed to active service in preserving order
Their duties consisted in patrolling the
streets and doing guard duty at the va
rious power houses and car sheds.
The work of subpoenaing citizens con-
tinued uninterruptedly today. Sheriff
Pohlmann had intended to issue sub
poenaes for the members of the First
regiment, N. G. NJ, as individuals, not
as an organization, but the officials
changed their minds and today it was
announced the soldier boys would not be
sworn in.

BUTTE. MONTANA MONDAY EVENING.

What is unmistakable is the prepon-
derance of the Dutch over the British in
numerical strength. In South Africa, as
Whole, there are at least 100000 Dutch
in excess of the British population. If
confederation be formed with scheme of
representable government similar to that
of the Dominion of Canada or to that
which will be brought into existence by
the Australian commonwealth bill there
will be Dutch South Africa with Brit
ish viceroy. The Dutch will continue to
rule Cape Colony and tle Orange Free
State, and in the Transvaal .Aey will
dominate every district except the min
ing camps of the Rand. South Africans
predict that there will be an immense i'm
migration of British settlers as soon as
the war comes to an end and the para
mount influence of the imperial govern
ment is established. There will be, with
out doubt, large increase Of British
population in the mining district when
the Transvaal is converted into de-
tendency of the crown. But it is by no
means certain that immigration will re-
verse the present conditions Of Dutch
prepOnderance in the other colonies. The
British in South Africa have always
been toWnsmen, and the Dutch have
been farmers and cattle breeders. The
agriculture industries are likely to re-
main in indisputed possession Of the
Dutch burghers, who dislike the occupa-
tions of town life, and prefer to remain
in the country. The Lutch farmers nave
married in their youth and have large
families. The Dutch population has in
creased more rapidly than the British
population during the last 50 years.
The British government will have at
the end of the war Dutch empire IN
South Africa and it will be under moral
obligations to allow these communities
of an alien race to order their own local
administration and to direct their politl-
cal progress. The lines of racial cleay-
age will be sharply defined. and the
Dutch will stand together and vote solid
!ly whenever they are allowed political
rights. It may be a decade before a
Dutch government can be supplanted IN
Cape Colony, and nothing shor, OF the
discovery of fresh series OF gold pow
dered reefs between the Orange and Vaal
will convert the Free State into British
commonwealth.
No large manufacturing industries are
likely to arise in South Africa and apart
from the gold and diamond fields agrl-
culture and stock raising seem destined
to remain the chief resources OF the COL
onists, the vast majority OF Wnom Will
be of Dutch descent and deeply pre1ud-
iced against mining camp Adventures
and millionaire reef owners. Confedera-
tion will only serve to unite the interests
of the Dutch in South Africa ana to arm
them with complete control over the ad.
ministra ton and material resources OF
Of the country and the Wisest Brltlsn
statesman knows in his heart that what
ever dangers there may be IN reserve 1or +
the empire after the war, the union OF
the colonies cannot be opposed nor the
subjects of the crown deprived OF the
, rights of self government.
