(By the Associated PreSS.)
London, March 21.-The Kings Bench
division of the High Court of Justice was
again the center of attraction today, ow-
ing to the hearing of the libel actions
brought against the Star and the Morn
ing Leader by Arthur Chamberlain, broth
err of Joseph Chamberlain, and Neville
Chamberlain. a son of Arthur Chamber
lain, in connection with charges bearing
on War Office contracts. The cross -exami-
nation of Arthur Chamberlain was con-
tinued. He said he had formed the opin-
ion that the main object of the articles
was to villify his brother, Joseph, in
doing which they villified him. To say,
as the defendants averred, that the
Kynochs were favored by the Government
was untrue and libelous. Mr.. Arthur
Chamberlain considered that it would be
dishonorable fer him to enjoy favoritism
from the Government
Counsel for the defendants produced
letters purpcrting to. have passed be-
tween the Kynocbs AID the Nobels, by
which the former agreed to keep up the
prices OF the powder for which the lat
ter had made a tender tc the British Gov
crnment,
Arthur Chamberlain repudiated all
knowledge of the letters. subsequently
he admitted that there had been an agree
inent in 1894 between the Kynochs, Nobels
and Chilwcrth in regard to a fixed price
for cordite.
Counsel read the evidence given by the
Nobels' manager before the Committee on
War Office Contracts, to the effect that
Arthur Chamberlain told him he had per-
sonal influence to secure contacts.
In regard to the cordite contract Sc
cured for Arklow in 1898, Arthur Cham
berlain said he did not see any Irish
members of Parliament but got local
pressure put on them by telling the work
ing people that the shops would be closed
unless the contract was secured.

jected:

Notable Speech on Religious Teaching
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, March 21.-Gomte De Nun,
Conservative made a notable speech in
the Chamber of Deputies today during
the discussion of Article II, of the Law
of Associations, the purpose of which
is to suppress teaching by religious or
ders. It's fate is interesting to the
middle class and to the aristocracy
who largely entrust the education Of
their children to religious establish
mentS.
Comic De Nun declared that the
proposition of the articles implied a
tyrannical state monopoly of education.
1.-The question of what doctrine should
be taught to children he said ought
not to depend upon changing parlia-
mentary majorities. Otherwise we may
have the God Of Jules Simon during
one Legislature, no God at all during
the next and the true God for the fell
lowing four years by majority vote.

WHY GENERAL BorHA REFUSED.
Kitchener Wonld Not Grant Amnesty to the
Leaders n Cape Colony.
(By The Associated Press.)

London, March 27.-The Daily Chronicle,
protesting to be able to give an outline
OF the negotiations between Lord Kitch-
ener and General Rotha, says:
The chief obstacle to a settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders of the
rebels in Cape Colony. He offered self
government on the lines of that in
Jamaica, Immediately upon the cessation
OF hostilities, with legislative bodies
partly elected by the burghers.
THE Government agreed to provide
$1,000,000 to compensate the Beers for
property DESTROYED and articles COM
Wandered by the Beers, providing the
signatures OF the officers who COM
Wandered the goods were forthcoming.
He also offered to grant loans on easy
terms for rebuilding and restocking
farms.
Moreover he agreed that children
should be instructed in English or Dutch
at the discretion of their parents. The
Government undertook to make no claim
on church property or funds or upon hos
pitfalls or hospital funds or upon private
investments.
mo Burgher of either state was to be
allowed to possess a rifle except by spe-
cial license.
General Botha was generally in favor
of these conditions, but he dssented
strongly from a proposal to give the full
privilege of citizenship to properly regis
tered blacks. He was also greatly con-
cerned about the position Jewish CAPT.
talists would occupy in the country, and
was told that Jews and Christians would
enjoy equal rights, no distinction to lie
made in the matter of concessions"
The parliamentary papers on the sub
ject are still delayed, but will probably
appear on the question next Friday.
