these interesting emanations, few Of
which We herewith quote:

above. a couple of virulent ducts
through which such purulent secretors
are thrust before the nostrils of de-
cent people"

ANOTHER BoER TREK POST
PoNEp.

San Francisco Chronicle,
The close of the South African war
promises TO be marked by another trek
Of the Beers who have survived the
conflict This time they propose to
par; company forever with the Brit.
ish and PASS under another flag. 1t
Is announced that they will migrate 10
Serran territory, To reach their des-
tination, II the avowed program is car
ried out. the Beers will have to trav-
erse through Matabeleland. zambesIa
and British Central Africa. all British
territory. or through the Portuguese
state Of East Africa, which comprises
the provinces Of MarOuez and Mozam-
blque, Whichever route is taken the
trip win cover fifteen degrees Of lati-
tude. or distance OF about l,OCO miles.
through a comparative wilderness.
Neither route can be taken in peace
without the consent Of the government
claiming jurisdiction over the territory
10 he traversed. Furthermore. the con-
sent Of Germany must be obtained be-
fore the trekkers will be permitted to
cross the horder.
1t IS not improbable that Great Brit.
ain win c'nsent to the trek being made
through its own territory under mli-
tary escort to nrcvent any depredat,ons
on the native tribes occupying the three
through which the Beers
must pass TO reach their destination.
Portugal may object to its territory be-
ing traversed by the trekklng Beers !
because it viii involve the expense to
It Of a military escort for the same !
The German people have been decid-
edly sympathetic with the Afrikanders
in their struggle against British ag-
and there are bonds Of affinity !.
between the two races. The German |
government may. therefore. welcome |
them to its East African territory The /
Beers will. Of course. be forced to sub.
nit TO German authority and surrender
al hopes of establishing an independent
in doing so. They doubt
ess prefer that to remaining under
he yoke Of their conquerors. which
his war has made more CALLING to
hem than the expressions which caus-
d the great trek of 1885 from Cape
,olony to the wilderness Of the Orange
liver and the Transvaal. If the pro-
'osed trek IS made it will constitute
me Of the most pathetic spectacles in
modern times-a nation Of sturdy farm
r-warriors sacrificing everything
which is OF value and dear to them
