THE BOND.
Methods BY which II Proposed to Bring
About 4 United South Africa.

In view Of the frequent references that have
bean made In the news from South Africa to
the Afrikander Bond, and Of the influence
which 1t exercises as an organization In the
politics Of the Cape Colony, a brief account
Of Its programme and constitution will be Of
special interest.
The first clause of its programme of prin-
ciples contains an acknowledgment Of the guild
ance Of Providence in the destiny Of countries
and nations. and the aim. as given in the sec.
ond. Is. under the guidance Of Providence,
to form . pure nationality and to prepare the
way for a united South Africa. The third,
fourth and ffth clauses deal with the methods
to be employed in bringing this about They
relate TO agriculture. commerce. industry,
labor. education and language, and aim at a
firm union Of the different European rationale
ties In South Africa. The rights Of numbers,
of property and Of intellect are acknowledged
and purity OF election politics ia prescribed.
Paragraph ID In the ffth clause particularly
insists on the right Of the South African colon
leg TO regulate their native questions them
selves. and paragraph z clearly enunciates
the principle that foreign inter vention with
the local concerns OF South Africa is inadmis-
pendence of South RRfritoas," '
In clause Q the Bond Acknowledges the
oAlSuILk IlIlleHtS nuu lS ODllxAI1Ona
toward them. but considers that they also
have duties which they are bound to perform
for the common welfare. and the promotion
OF the interests Of South Africa, In TIE seventh
and last clause the Afrikander Bond announces
itself as z self-dependent party ready TO coop
crate with all Others when it oan do so with
out viola ton OF principles.
The general constitution provides for the
formation of local bonds in the different States
and colonies q South Africa, and details In
ten clauses with sub-sections the manner OF
organizing and working them.
The Provincial Constitution for the Cape
Colony deals with all matters OF organization,
finances and representation In the Colonial
Legislature In fourteen articles with sub-sec-
lions.
The aim Of Bond was. In view OF the rapid
increase and preponderanoe OF the native ele-
mentin the population, to unite the white races
with the ultimate intention Of forming q South
African nationality. to lead In time by a natural
process to the establishment Of the United
States OF South Africa. II was to put a stop
70 the progress Of this advanced idea that
the suppression Of the Independence OF the two
republics was determined on by the British
Government, and the reduction OF all the coll
onies and States Of South Africa TO the con-
dition OF crown colonies IL to be brought about

that'Mr. Leandre Is the artist who caricatured

way. Just as elections to the Academy and the
Society OF American Artists come to painters In
New York. The comforting OF the Legion Of
Honor on NJ. Leandre was hotly commented on
at the time In the English newspapers. but tho
writers were not aware that he is only one Of a
number OF serious artists who exc out a living.

the comic weeklies.
Landscapes and marines are shown In the
French section in sufficient number and variety

FOREIGNERS DEFENCEs IN PEKIN.
Mr.. Cole Of Des Moines Thought the Ministers
Could Hold Out Indefinitely.

In the Dee Moines Leader Of July 1 Is an in
terview with regard to the defences OF the Brit
ish legation at Pekin with MIR. j. F. Cole. for
merly a Paymaster's clerk in the Navy. Mr..
Coles views, it must be remembered were ex-
pressed before the latest and most discouraging
news from China was received. lie said:
Il do not think the friends of Minister Coneer
have any reason to worry. believe he and his
associates nre now in safety. together with the
British mister and his associates. Two years
ago ! made n trip through part Of China with
an officer connected with the British legation
guard at Pekln. While with him he told me
Of the precautions which had been taken to
insure the safety Of the British legation. pre-
cautions which have been in existence ever
since the massacre in the Cos. in which British
subjects were massacred and those whose lives
were spared subjected 20 unmentionable in
dignities. Pekin consists of three cities, each
within separate walls. Tho foreign legati ons
home Of the Emperor and highest officials and
mobiles. Each legation IL situated in what Ii
called a,coppound; that is, II Is surrounded by a
wall. all OF the buildings being within. This
wall is Of stone and very massive. The. build
inrs within are heavily walled. Behind these
walls Is the, legation guard, consisting Of i25
the pick Of the British soldierv in the Fast,
These men are armed with the latest rifles and
abundantly supplied with ammunition. They
have besides their rifles a number OF rapid-
fire guns, This. well-eQuipped force behind
stone walls could stand OF nm immense force
OF telestials, who, nj best, ARE cowardlv and
incapable of fighting western soldiers. Further
than this. and this Is part told me n confidence
BY the officer ] mentioned, n secret passage
exists which would lead TO safety In case II
became iinpracticable TO hold out In the lega-
ton compound. II was not told TO where tho
passage reached. but | infer to within tho walls
OF tho imperial city. q sacred place which no.
Chinese mob would dare 10 invade.
Hood Is. much thicker than water. and tho
British and Americans In pekln have always
been "rontes. ] am satisfied. therefore. that at
the first appearance Of serious danger Minister
longer and his associates sought safety In
the British legation. At this time they are
either within the walls of it, compound or have
u'"d the secret passage and escaped to tho
imperial city. where they are absol ut-ly safe.
| cannot conceive OF their being in danger
which. could not be stood of until the arrival OF
the relief party. even II that arrival is delayed
