imperial government, with my strong dis
approval. They were framed by clever
men. now engineering the present agita-
ton and encouraging those who are car
rying on hopeless resistance

war. with its untold miseries: protests
against the devastation OF the country
and the burning of farms. which Twill
leave lasting heritage of bitterness"

republics will alone insure peace In South
Africa. The second urges the right of the
colony to manage its own affairs and CEN
sures the policy of Sir Alfred Miner. The
third pledges the congress to labor In a
constitutional way" to attain the ends de-
fined in the two preceding resolutions.

formation that the strike had been de-
clared OF. or temporarily settled went
scrupulous person had been tampering
with the names Of the orders officers.
THE Santa Fe Company is using al
most superhuman endeavors to run pass
enger trains on time. but is not making
much headway. Freight traffic is becom-
ing more and more congested and the sit
uation will steadily grow worse and
time and perishable freight will fare
badly"
