Republican state committee of Texas,

of the controversy which has arisen
among the Republicans of Texas
The president stated to him with the

president was taking no side for or

ton on the subject, and the English au-
thorities are hesitating to enact laws
until all the parties concerned can
Voice their opinions. The hesitancy to
deal summarily with the natives is
causing both Beers and Afrikanders
intense irritation. and encourages the
blacks to truculent effrontery
Another phase of the problem is the
unwillingness of the blacks to forego
their lazy existence in the concentr.t-
ton camps where thousands gerc.
gathered during the war, and far more
serious is the fact that great number
of blacks in the country have managed
to secure arms. There is, therefore,
the anomalous situation of unarmed
whites and armed blacks living in prox-
unity on outlying farms. Experienced
British colonists strongly favor univer-
sal disarmament of the natives and
prompt legislation, making assaults on
women a capital offense.
