he was not satisfied. Suzerainty was a term
not to his liking. Still less was he ready
to welcome British suzerainty. Britain
was the one enemy that had been dogging
his steps, and his fathers steps, and his
grandfather's steps; and now his last SUI
preme effort to rid himself OF the hateful
presence, which was also hampering con-
troll, had come to naught. President Kru-
ger, in 1883. visited London with petition
to Queen Victoria for revision OF the arti-
cles OF the convention in 1881. He was
graciously received; and the British govern
ment in 1884 conceded to him a new word
ing OF the clauses against which he, in the
name OF his people-rather, in the name of
the Boer portion OF them-had entered his
protest. 1t was this new wording, with its
interpretations, that served as the nominal
ground for the last dispute which ended in
war, and the war has now ended in a Brit.
lsh victory, and the union jack again flies

AMERICANS IN SOUTH AFRICA
At the Forefront of Great industrial
and Mining Enterprises.

The people OF this nation have more than
sentimental interest in practically all
that pertains to South Africa. In addition
to our rapidly increasing commerce with
the different English colonies there, in-
cluding the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, there is the interest that attaches
to the large number OF Americans who ara
IN the country and assisting in the devel-
opment OF its resources. Mr.. Howard G..
Hil!egas, in his book entitled "Oom Paul's
People, pays the following tribute to these
Americans in South Africa:

OF the United States in South Africa, they
are small In comparison with the work OF

the last quarter OF a century. Whatever
great enterprises have been inaugurated,
Americans have been prominently identified
with their growth and development. and in
not few instances has the success Of the
ventures been wholly due to American lead

OF all the great South African institutions,
but 1t is 10 American skill that almost all
OF them owe the success which they have
attained,
British and continental capitalists have
recognized the superiority OF American
methods by intrusting the management of
almost every large mine and Industry TO

South Africa after the discovery OF gold
had been well fitted by their experiences in
the California and Colorado mining fields
for the work which they were called upon
to Go on the Randi, and owing TO their abil-
ity, were able to compete successfully with
the men from other countries who were not
so skilled" "

At the time of the breaking out of the
war there were some $4,000 acres of land
under cultivation in the Transvaal. The
farms numbered l2,245, of which 3,636 be-
longed to the government, 1912 to outside
owners and the remainder to resident own
ers and companies. The agricultural pro-
ductions were far from sufficient to meet
the demand of local consumption, and food
products figured heavily among the i'm
