were permitted to file in the order that their
names were drawn from the wheels. The
filing at the rate of 250 will continue daily

LONDON, Aug. 7--The House of Com
mons last night discussed a vote of f6,5o0,-
900 as q grant in aid of the Transvaal and
Orange-river colonies. Sir William Vernon
Harcourt and others severely criticised the
governments measures.
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying, said he quite
agreed that the governments first duty was
to the loyalist refugees, and he declared
that money would not be spared for that
purpose. 1T is also a matter of imperial
policy continued the colonial secretary,
Ito give the necessary support TO those Of
our enemies who come into our hands. One
million OF the vote is for extra rolling
stock. A large sum will be devoted to REIN
stating the Beers on their farms, and an
experiment viii be made in the direction Of

tention of confscation. We have had offers
portion Of the vote will be devoted TO the
purchase of such land. with d view of en-
aiding men who volunteered for the war
to settle when the war Is over"
Mr.. Chamberlain dwelt at great length
upon the native question. which he de-
scribed as most difficult and delicate He
declared that anything in the nature of
slavery ought not to be permitted, that a
revision OF the cruel and arbitrary native
labor laws was necessary and although the
natives must be taught to work they
should have just and humane treatment.
