PRO BoERs DIsAPPo1NTED.
Latest Attitude Of Sir Henry Eanne-
man a Surprise.

New York, Nov. 28.-The Paris cOrre-
spondent of the London Times and the
New York Times says the latest speech
of Sir Henry Campbell-Banneman, lib
eral leader in the house of commons,
has sadly disappointed his admirers
among the French pro-Boers, who had
hitherto thought he shared their views
and regarded him as the most formid-
able of the adversaries of the Boer gov
ernor.
AS the Beers have said all along that
they would be content only with inde-
pendence, Sir Henry's declaration that
the republics must be incorporated in
the British empire is a great shock to
his French admirers who now think his
policy much the same as the govern
ment's.
They see in his actions only the Or
binary motives inspiring an opposition
leader, aiming at office and actuated
neither by philanthropy. nor an inspired
love of Justice.

sented M. Reinach, Maitre Labori asked


that the case be postponed. Maitre
Labori explained clearly that it was en-
tirely upon M. Reinach's influence and
not upon his own that his connection
with the case ceased. The case was then
postponed for two weeks. -,
A person who is in position to know
the facts of the case told a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press that a dis
agreement between NJ. Labori and M.
Reinich dates from the trial of Captain
Dreyfus at Rennes.
At that time according to the inform
ant, M. Labori asserted that M. Wall
deck-Rousseau, the French Premier, had
prevented the acquittal of Captain Drey-
fus, or at least had not done enough to
make his acquittal certain. At that
time and ever since, NJ. Reinach was a
warm friend and supporter of M. Wall
deck-ROusseau.
In an article in the November num-
Der Of the Grande Revue, and more re
Gently in lecture along the same lines
NJ. Labori has criticised the government
and avocated the formation of new po-
litical party opposed to the government
and to be known as the party of honest
people.
Matre La,bori is to be the candidate OF
the opposition to the governor at Fon-
tainbleu at the next parliamentary elec-
tions in May.
All this was distasteful to M. Reinach
and probably constituted his reasons for
the taking out of the hands of NJ. Labor
case in which the latter would have
had an opportunity to air his political
opinions.
