von the applause of even such oppo-
.or,s as Henry Labouchere. Mr.. Cham
s,roln dealt comprehensiyely with the
,,s, and future Of sAuth Africa.
I'VE have no Intention" he declared,
aha, tbe Beers should break their
.d traditions. We desire that they
hid reserve all the best character
n,,c. Of their race and hope they VIII
HSate hands with us, thus securing
snasrsrty In South Africa under the

Thai sentiment was the Keynote Of
Wv nealng with the much-discussed
hor nnestion, Mr.. Chamberlain said

British settlers.
Sin Henry Campbell Bannerman sup
nlsmented his congratulations by ask
Inc for information of the colonial con-
terence He expressed the hope that
leoient treatment would be extended
IA The Beers in South Africa,
Mr. Chamberlain replied that the one
shirt animataing the members OF the
conference was the desire 10 draw close
together the constituent parts OF t\e
empire, and he thought II safe to say
that the conference had made imp0r-
tsnt progress toward permanent union
10 which ne himself looked forward.
Regarding South Africa, Lord Miner,
The high commissioner had tele-
gnphed spontaneously that he did not
think further legislation necessary TO
make the Punishment proclamation
effective The government, however,
reserved to Itself the important right
IN the new colonies to refuse to allow

sons who showed themselves inimica

We are not going to allow the result
Of the war TO be undermined, said Mr.
CHAMBERLAIN, by intrigues carried on
BY nomnally constitutional means"
Regarding the future status of South
Africa, the colonial secretary said the

nesWIonies from full self government
The Ultimate goal Of their full ambition,
That consummation would not be de-
ayei II for no other reason, because |
II might relieve the government OF the |
Tremendous burden or responsibility
involved In the present situation, but |
all must understand that the govern
ment would not be rushed or hustled |
INTO any action which circumstances
I'D 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
man many persons now thought pos
slble. So far as the government was

would be Kept In spirit as well as in
e'ler The government, he said, was
bound both by honor and interest to
his course, There remained many
luestlons to be dealt with; a new tar
NJ must be arranged involving intricate
luesilons concerning which experts
must be consulted, and the taxation OF
mines must be settled, but he wished |
o say nothing would be done to pun

'esled In many quarters. The goyern-
nent would do nothing TO interfere
