is described by a writer In Ainslee's for
January as built around hole big enough
to hold the entire white population of South
Africa" The big excavation referred to is
the result of the early diamond mining OPP
erations. To-day shafts are sunk and levels
formed and the blue ground in which the
diamonds found Is blasted out and lift
ed TO the surface by elevators. The mines
are the property of the De Beers Company
which owns the Kimberley, De Beers. Du
Torts, Pan. Bullfontein and Premier mines
and controls the diamonds Of the world.
Diamonds are also found at Jaegersfon-
tein and Koffyfontein. I'm the Orange Free
State and IL was at the former place that
the Jaegersfontein Excelsior. weighing nine
hundred carats, was found IN May. 1888.

A conference of representative business
men has just been held in Spain which
may have important consequences. A few
weeks ago the Chamber of Commerce at
Madrid sent notices to all the chambers of
commerce in Spain urging the holding of
a convention to protest against the new
financial budget, and to take steps to re-
sist the payment of additional taxes. The
convention was held at valladolid on Tues
day and was attended by delegates from
nearly all the chambers besides many
other commercial bodies and agricultural
societies. A dispatch to the London Times
Of yesterday said:
The meeting enunciated the definite pro-
gramme, the main points Of which were
adopted after a short discussion. Briefly,
they call for thorough electoral and par
lfamentary reform and complete reor-
ganization of all branches of public serv-
ice, for the furtherance of which ends it
is proposed to create an association to
be called the National Union,'' which is
to include all classes and interests now
represented at Valladohd. The strength of
the meeting and the unanimity which
characterized the deliberations in spite of
the heterogeneous elements has occasioned
disagreeable surprise for the government,
as it is evident that Senior Paraiso and his
friends have succeeded in calling into ex-
istence a force which some day will prove
a powerful factor in politics.
The budget submitted by the finance min
lister a few months ago which gave rise to
the convention included an increase of
taxes on mining industries, sugar manu-
featuring. wines and inheritances, an in
come tax Of per cent. on dividends of
banks and corporations and 3 per cent.
on returns from other securities. At the
same time it was proposed to scale down
the interest on the domestic debt 20 per
cent, on the redeemable debt z per cent.
on customs bonds per cent, on the
Philippine loan 35 per cent. and on the
Cuban bonds 40 per cent. The convention
called to protest against this financial poll
cy seems to have gone a good deal further
and outlined programme of radical re-
form

The Springfield Republican has read SEN

Republican, that Mr.. Beverage talks like

that if his Americanism is now the true

impression is that this is about the seven

leagues for their APPROVAL Mr.. Willetts
refused to have his speech censored by the

the nomination of Judge Van Wyck for
