LIGHT FREIGHTs EASTWARD.
British Ship Owners Disappointed al
Short Crops Here

LONDON, July 29.-Richard Henderson,
presiding a meeting of the Anchor line
today, said that homeward freights in the
American trade had been demoralized for
the past eighteen months and that there
was small prospect of speedy Improvement.
There had been great disappointment at
the small maize crop. The general Ameri-
can freight outlook was unpromising. Mr.
Henderson said he did not think the Nor
gan combine would injuriously affect the
Anchor line since the lines had working
agreements. Ali interests involved, he
said, were now working in perfect har-
mony.

Future Status of Country.

Regarding the future status of South
Africa, the colonial secretary said the i'm
perial government had established crown
colony in the strictest sense. The next step
would be to add a nominated official ele-
ment. Thereafter there would be an elect
ed official element and then nothing but
circumstances and time would separate the
new colonies from full self-government. the
ultimate goal of their ambition. That con-
summation would not be delayed, ii for no
other reason because it might relieve the
government of the tremendous burd,n of
responsibility involved in the present situa-
tion, but all must understand that the gov
ernment would not be rushed or hustled into
any act on which circumstances did not
warrant. The speaker said he was one of
those optimistic enough to believe that the
new colonies would reach the ultimate goal
of their ambition much sooner than many
persons now thought possible.
So far as the government was concerned
the surrender promises would be kept in
spirit well. as in letter. The government,
he said, was bound both by honor and in
