Escaped Prisoner Talks BEFORE Uni.
... cage Holland Society
Commandment Jan Krige, an escaped
Boer. prisoner, was entertained a few
evenings ago by the Holland society Of
Chicago. He was an overseer in the
De Beers diamond mines when the war
broke out, says the Chicago Tribune.
He carries Z watch given him by Cecil
Rhodes, in wh'ch there is an inscrip7
ton noting the Gift. He was under the
command of General Louis Botha and
was captured ,by General French's
forces at Kip river. LIe was placed in
Jail at Johannesburg, his native town,
but escaJted to Delagoa bay and there
secreted himself on a ship bound for
America He arrived here last May
and has been touring the country seek
ing financial aid for the Beers and en-
deavoring to arouse the moral support
of the people. ..s..
In a speech Commandant Krige said:
'tNo matter to what length the war
goes we will still have hope. Cecil
Rhodes is a broken man physically.
He is not to be blamed so greatly for
the situation in South Africa. He is
not bloodthirsty. He was man of
purely commercial ideas, and he staked
his all on this throw of the dice. He
will lose. Miner and Chamberlain are
the men the Beers hate above all Eng
lishmen. We believe that they are our
implacables enemies. Kitchener is blood
thirsty, but in a purely impartial way.
He is honest. He says to the Beers, /
will kill you and he does it if be can.
But this is the brutality of the field.
The worst feature of the war in
South Africa is the treatment Of the
women and children. They are Griven
from their homes and concentrated in
camps. 1 knew Of a case where moth

All the camps are placed on the rail-

Berlin, Jan. 8. The speech from the

lor, Count Won Vuelow, at the opening
of the Prussian diet, took a gloomy

In the budget for 1902 the revenue

The speech announced plans for

A new canal bill to complete the

peror William S speech pointed to the
necessity of adopting measures against
the agitation IN the Polish districts Of
Eastern Prussia, declaring that the
unfolding of the political and econorn-
ic position Of the German element
there was. necessary for the self pres
servation Of Prussia and promised that
the government would fulfill its duty
in cuItivating the German national
spirit in that region and in combating 1
with 1rmness all tendencies hostile to
the state. In this course the govern
ment counted on the support of the
German population of East Prussia, as
we'll as on the assistance of the whole
nation, which regarded any attempt to
drive out the German language as an
attack on it's national honor and dig
nifty.
. The reichstag reassembled during
the day after the Christmas recess
with a rather slim attendance and the |
discussion Of the estimates began. The
statement of financial conditions by
Baron Won Thielmann, secretary of
state for the treasury, was even more
pessimistic on the subject of the de-
clining trade Of Germany than were
his earlier utterances in that connec
ton.
"My former references said Baron
Won Thielmann, ito our financial posi- |
ton, which were regarded in many !
quarters as pessimistic, have been con.
frned. Affairs have been even more
unfavorable than we were able to fore |
see as, owing to the financial depres-
sion. receipts have fallen off consider
