Judas Chamberlain, secretary for
the British colonies, attacked Lord
Kitchener and Sir Alfred Miner in the
House of Commons the other day. He
blamed tile butcher of Omdurman''
for favoring amnesty to the Cape Col
ony rebels and for suggesting a form
of elective assembly in the two Boel
republics. "How any man who knows
ANYTHING at all of the South African
situation could make such a preDoster-
GUS proposal as that we should begin
with an elective assembly, cannot
for the life of me understand" eN-
claimed the Birmingham screw-maker.
He told the house that Miner and not
himself is the man whom the Beers
particularly object to as the chief OBJ
stacle to peace. The Liberal renegade
is becoming more unpopular every
day.

SLAVERY UNDER THE UNION JACK.

In his illustrated lecture on South
Africa delivered in Minneapolis, T..
Louter Vessels, the Boer patriot, OK
hiblted the picture of young man of
the Malay race whose ancestors were
brought by the English into the dark
continentand sold as slaves to the early
Dutch settlers. "As England brought
slavery into America in 1920" eX-
claimed the Boer commissioner. 80
also did that country introduce slav-
cry into Cape Colony. and this young
man, now free, Is n descendant Of the
slaves brought from Zanzibar in Brit
ish ships" This informatio is some
what new to the American people. Mr..
Vessels also declared that the blacks
now working in "the compounds at
the diamond mines around Kimberley
are really slaves of the British mine
owners, though technically free men.
He displayed pictures which convinced
the audience Of the truth of his asscr-
ton. With characteristic hypocrisy the
British accused the Beers of what they
themselves are guilty, and tried to
make the world believe that slavery has
vanished wherever the British flag
floats in triumph.
In the Chicago Tribune of Sunday
March II, there appeared an illustrated
article on slavery in Asia and Africa
which showed that slavery is still car
ried on under the British flag. We shall
quote some passages from it as fol
lows:
"Ostensibly slavery cannot exist
where the British flag flies. On tn,
surface slavery seems to have been
made a thing of the pasta practic,
of a more barbarous age. Really il
has only been showed into the back
ground; placed behind the smirkins
mask of civilization and kept out OF
sight as much as possible, as some
thing not to be spoken of to ears polite
Yet there it exists in all it's horror and
iniquity-the same old crime of the
ages.

Zanzibar and the neighboring islands

ONLY A sEcorD-RArE POWER.

That England is no longer first
rate power among the nations Is re-
luctantly admitted by Englishmen
themselves. Since the South African
war it has been shown that the Brit
ish army cannot fight as in the days
gone by when led by Wellington and
a Cough. The Beers have completely
demonstrated that the British soldiers
are not to be dreaded in the future by
any European power. The situation
in China is an evidence of the weak
ness of England when confronted by Il
tirst-class power like Russia. Com
mcnting on the humiliating attitude Of
England in the East, the London Mail,
the organ of clustering jingoism. is
forced to say:
Let us remember that we already
have one war upon our hands-a war
whicl, does not as vet show any sign
Of approaching Il conclusion. 1t is not
wise at such Il time to quarrel with
stAAOlANl I'oNtl, anu tIlstl lIbNtl VI
the first class. OF course. if the Rus
slams have really made up their minds
to pick Il serious quarrel with lis it
would be another matter. hut so far
as can be seen Russia has nothing to
gain in the immediate present by push
ing us to the wall. In the far East our
fleet is so weak that its position would
bc most perilous. Many good reasons
then dictate prudence. No doubt. it is
IL painful process for the nation to
have it's face slapped, but unless the
country compcls its rulers to provide
it with thoroughly efficient admins
traton, it is Il humiliation to which
we must accustom ourselves"
The London Times, the most British
of all British blusterers, realizes the
position in which England. finds her
self after campaign of eighteen
months in trying to rob two little TO
publics of their independence. Instead
of calling on England to spring to
arms against Russia it says the kick
ing out of the British force at Ticntsn
is only trivial incident to be settled
by diplomacy! Germany, with it's war
like emperor, will not aid England in
preventing Russia from making Man
churia Il province. and the United
States is not so foolish as to take sides
with the mother country against :,
power which was it's friend when Eng
land was it's enemy. Despite the Hays,
the ChOatcS. the Lodges and other in
ilucntal Anglomaniacs, there will not
he any alliance between this country
and England. This country is not ach-
ing for an alliance with second-ratc
power like England. The Anglo-Saxon
press of the country no longer favors
it. The South African war has opened
the eyes Of the American people to the
folly Of taking England for an ally.
The fiction of her strength and pres
tige is made too patent to the world.
Even the Beers are confident of ulti-
mately whipping the tyrant and have
no intention of giving up the fight.
England is only second.r rate power.

Beers Demand Neutrality

The following dispatch, dated New
Orleans, April 2, is of international in
terest:
Proceedings We're brought in the
United States court here today by rep
resentatives of the Beers to prevent
the sailing of the steamship Anglo
Australian, loaded with mules con-
signed to the British in South Africa.
Judge Parlange, after reading the petit
ton, issued an order requiring the de-
PENDANTS in the case to show cause on
April 6 why preliminary injunction
should not be granted. The suit was
brought by Samuel Pearson. citizen
Of the South African Republic, resid-
ing at Barberton; Edward Van Ness.
a citizen Of New York, and Charles ID.
Pierce, consul general of the Orange
Free State, and is against Captain
Parson of the steamer, Elder, Demp-
ster & Co., owners Of the steamer, and
AIessrs. Robert and Matthew Warrin-
or, who represent Elder, Dempster &
Co. here.
= The petition sets forth that the Unit
ed States and it's people are at peace
with the South African Republic and
the Orange Free State and their citi-
zens; that Great Britain is at war with
these republics, seeking to destroy the
property rights and credits of the pc
titioners; that for the purpose Of car
rying on this war the Anglo-Austra-
lian is now loading at this port with
munitions of war, namely mules and
horses to the number of 1900, and to
the value of $4,000; that the steamer
is employed in the military service Of
the king of Great Britain; that for
some time defendants have been fer
warding from this port such munitions
OF war, knowing that these munitions
and the ship were In the military ssrv-
ice Of Great Britain, and that they
were to be used against the people of
the South African Republic and the
Orange Free State; that defendants
are making use of New Orleans as a
base Of military operations of Great
Britain in its war in South Africa, and
to augment it's military supplies and
arms; that by the use Of these NUM-
tons the armies Of Great Britain are
laying waste and destroying the farms
and homes Of petitioners and holding
as prisoners of war the wife and chill
dren of one of the petitioners, Samuel
Pearson; that Samuel Pearson has al
ready suffered the destruction and loss
of property to the value of 100000.
and is threatened with the loss of
$4,000 more, and finally that the war
can be carried on by Great Britain
only through the renewal of it's mill
tary supplies from this port, and that
when these supplies cease. the war
must end.
In consideration of these statements
an injunction is asked to prohibit the
shipment of military supplies out of
this port.
A temporary injunction is asked in
the meantime
The Anglo-Australian was expected
to sail today, but the effect of the Or
der issued by Judge Parlange will be
to detain her until the hearing on Sat
urday. General Pearson has been in
the city for several days to bring the
suit.
