AFRIKANDERS MEET.
Six Thousand Take Part in the WOr-

 Six Thousand Take Part in the Wor-
 cester Congress.
 WORCESTER Cape Colony. Dee. T. About 6,00O Dutchmen assembled ill the open air at the Gum Tree plantation, OH the edge of the. town, to take part in the Afrikander congress. Horse.len from ] radius of 60 miles had been riding in al night.
 AIr. S. C. Cronwright- -S;chrener made q speech in which be attacked Sir Alfred hiilner, the British high commissioned and governor of Cinc Colony, saying there would be no peace while he Was governor.
 Mr. J. W Saucr, the former commis sioner of public works. is expected to speak and guide the congress conclu sions, among which will be to select q large deputation to visit Sir Alfred Mil ner and urge him to advise q cessation of hostilities and give autonomy to the re publics.
 More troops have arrived here. Some l 300 Canadians and Australians are campcl( around the town, and ten gIfs are in position.
 After a number of violent speeches the speakers. however, repudiating all idea of rebellion and keeping within stricter limits than had been anticipated
  nation, and a delegation was appointed to submit them to Sir Alfred Miner.
 The first resolution demands the terml- uation of the war. with it's untold reiseTy. protests against the devastation of the country and the burning of farms. which will leave a lasting heritage of bitter ness," and declares that the independ- ence of the republics will alone insure peace in South Africa.
 The second urges the right of the colo, ny to manage it's own affairs and censures the policy of Sir Alfred Miner.
 The third pledges the congress to 'la- bor in a constitutional way" to attain the ends defined in the two preceding resolutions and directs that they be sent to Sir Alfred Milncr for submission tc the imperial government.
 The congress. which. it is claimed, rep resented 10000 Affikanders, has been closed. numbers of the members leaving town immediately.

/ of sticks. or by sharpening pieces of dint and tying them cn to sticks with 7eer's sinews. And he put hatred into the hearts of men and womein. where before nothing but kindness and love existed. The result was quarrels in numera ole. Tochopa did ali he could to stop the fighting. but in vain.
 So at last he put roaming spirit into the hearts of the people. and some of them crossed the great, deep canyon of Hackataia Chicamega GEe Grand canyon of the Colorado rivcr). and they found good land there ard stopped and settled down, and they became the Paiutf nation. Others went east, across the Little Colorado river, and they settled down and be- came the Hopituh tcommorly known as the Moki. Still others went east, but before they reached the Little Colorado they found the beautiful Canyon of the Blue water-the IEava- su-and they settled there and be- came the Havasupai. Others went south with Hokomata, who became their special leader. and they became the Apaches. To the west went the Chimchucvis and Mohaye Araches. but the Walapais, acting under the aG- vice of Tochopa, stayed at Mattawid- ditta, and the region round about be- came the nation they now are. Hence it is that. according to their tradi- ton. the Paiutis. the Honis, the Hava- supais. the Apaches, the ChiEchUeyis, the Mohave Apaches and themselves are all part of that great Apache fam fly, one portion of which has ever been at. war with every other portion, and which until recently was the ter TOT and bugaboo of all southern Ari- zonans. In the face of this latter fact it seems strange that the Nallapais should have the tradition that the. Apachcs left Mattawidditta under the special guidance and control of Ifol,o- Ipata. the bad god of their people. Certainly in their dealings with the whites they have been under the con- trol Of some warlike and bIoodthrsty power, for until the capture of Gero- nimo and his band by Gen. Crook they were always at war against the hated newcomers.
 While the Wallapais have posed as a peaceful people, it is well known that Serum, Leve!eve and Susquatami have all gone on the war path against the whites when i; could be GCne inreason- able safety. A short time before the train of the Santa Fe railway reaches King1nan it passes through a canyon, in which. some 35 years ago, Serum stea!thiiy crept upon an unhappy party Of four gold prospectors and slew them

all. Twenty-eight years ago Susqua- ta mi with band of braves. rushed upon C. handful of white nlsn who were driv- ing a band of cattle in mid-Arizona. But they were unprepared for the reception accorded them. The cattlemen were not only we'll armed, but were dead shots. and in the short and decisive con- fict that ensued r of the Walla pal war chiefs best men bit the dust. And to this day, when the leader of that white band drinks little more Arizona tanglefoot and loosentongue than IS good for him, he swears he will start out ipstanter, hunt out Susquataml, and kill and scalp him.
 The accom- panying photograph of Serum's daughter shows her q keenly intelligent woman. She sees the ad vantage the white people possess in their education. and. gaining he friend ship of one of the teachers in the gov ernment school. she secured a piece of back kboard which she placed in her house. and there. day by day, she may be seen laboriously practicing writing. 1 asked her where her husband was, and she mournfuliy replied: My man no good. He go away. l no want him. And when I found that he was both drunkard and gambler, as well as an unfaithful husba nd I cheered her with the assurance that she was far better off without him than with him. Even the wild aborigines of the desert have their marital difficulties.
 Passengers on the line of the Santa Fe railway to California may see quite a settlement of Wallapais soon after they pass Crozier and just before reaching Blackberry. Many of them work on the railway. and their ''hawas" are built of discarded railway ties, making new and substantial. though not very picturesque, style of Indian architecture.
