iust been brought to close. An elao-
crate scheme of federation. In which |
the people Of the subverted govern

earlv day and be in . league with the
rest Of the British possessions in their

iished. This 10 another outcome OF
the same conflict. and one which was
not expected by many persons a. tne
outset. Some of the Boer fightlng
chiefs who have laid down their arms
have been to London on missdon con-
nected with the settlement OF the
terms of surrender. They were enter
tanned by representatives OF the Brit
ish government, and there can be no
doubt that the visit will be pleasant
episode in their lives. As one OF the
results Of the present rapproachment
between British and Beers the Afrikan'
der-Bond, which is a sort OF league
between all the Dutch residents OF A.
rica, is to be dissolved. says the ST.
Louis Globe.Democrat.
The agencies which are certain to
make the rehabilitation OF the two
ex-republics speedy and pleasant are
actively in operation. A large portion
If the population Of both OF them will
be British, Americans, Germans and
other nom Beers. Necessarily these
persons will get the same sort OF treat
ment as the Beers. and they are vitality
interested in having the disabilities OF
the latter removed at the earliest pos
sible day. The crown colony status
would be even more Objectionable to
the Americans and Englishmen resid-
ing in the two Dutch states than they
would be to the natives themselves.
and they have a strong incentive for
making the transition to full self-gov-
ernment as short as possible. Already
some Of these persons are presenting
this side Of the question in the lead
ing London newspapers. This 10
side which will appeal with force to
the British ministry. The ministry has
a special reason to want TO win the
favor Of the Beers. and the way to do
this. as it we'll knows, is to make their
political conditions as agreeable to
them az possible, and to do this at the

Thus all the conditions point to the
creation a-anrt of United States
Of Africa among the different British
colonies which are contiguous. Eng.
lands possessions in the whole CONT
nent Of Africa, counting Egypt. which
nominally belongs to Turkey. but
which has been administered for many
years by England ana which she will
never give up. aggregate about 3.ooo,-
900 miles in area, or about the same as
that Of the United States, exclusive OF
Alaska and the islands acquired in
1895. About half of this area is in
South Africa. most Of it being contigu-
Gus. The purpose evidently is to es-
tablfsh q union between all these con-
tiguous states on the Canadian and
Australian plan, in which each will be
practically independent in local affairs
and have a voice In matters pertaining
TO the whole federation. This will be
a sort Of United States Of South At
rica. closely following the American
model. which has great vogue among
British and British colonial statesmen
1t the present time. American ideas
are making their triumphant way
around the world. There will be re
erets for the overthrow Of the two lit
tie republics, but their people are ac'
cepting the situation with courage and
Intelligence. and the new regime which
will soon set in will eventually give
them almost a. much liberty as they
had under the former condition, ane
at the same time give them contac
with the world which will material(.
