Afrikander Women Meet.

Cape Town, July 1C.-At a meeting

protest against the annexation of the
republics to the British empire and the
punishment of the rebels, Mrs. Olive
Schreiner Cronwright denounced the
British policy. She said she was
ashamed of her English descent and
added:
IF the republics are annexed, if the
Afrikanders are oppressed, peace is i'm
ossible. Every trench of Boer dead is
a grave of Englands honor. Every bull
let making a wound also finds a bull
let in the heart OF the empire"

Kruger's retention of large amounts of
gold at Machadodorp has created the

aries. officers and men. They expected
substantial rewards for championing
the Boer interests, but have received
nothing. 1t is added that visiting for
eigners who have subsequently advo-
Gated Intervention are believed to have
received substantial sums. Proofs, it
is further asserted, have been dis
covered in Pretoria which promise

count the republican complexion Of
The Legislative delegation was not
altered. The vote shows that the re-
rubiicans lave elected one senator and

in doubt, however, by an injunction
prayed for before District Judge Dick

In the First district of the First
ward, q democratic community. the
election officials had neglected to sign

republican candidates will submit to
h court whether such a tally is legal

race is SO even among several candi-
dates that a change of u score either
way in a total vote of $4,000 will send
the favored one to Lincoln.
Whatever the result of the %iniunc-
ton, however, the republicans will Sc
