CHAMBERLAIN
VISITS NATAL
British Colonial Secretary Re-
ceives a Warm Welcome
in South Africa
HAS CONFIDENCE IN LORD MILNER

Durham, Natal, Dec. %. - Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain and Mrs.
. Chamberlain, who left Portsmouth,
England, November 25, on board the
armored cruiser Good Hope, landed
here at 1890 yesterday morning. They
received warm welcome from large
crowds of people, who lined the shore,
and salutes from the shipping in the
harbor.
The long speeches made by Mr..
Chamberlain in the course of the re-
ception functions were notable for their
strong tone of conciliation, and his
expression of confidence in Lord Mil
ner, British high commissioner in
South Africa Bearing in mind, seem
ingly. the rumors that his visit would
lead to the displacement of Lord Mil
ner, Mr.. Chamberlain declared his be-
lief that his visit would have the ef-
fect OF strengthening the hands of Lord
Miner, who, he hoped, would be as
great In conciliation as he had been
In the maintenance of the rights of the
empire.

From that struggle two proud and

friendship.
Victor and vanquished," said Mr.
Chamberlain, "bravely played their
parts. We scorn to glory in our tri-
umph; the enemy need fear no humil-
ia6ons in their defeat. Let us see, as
Britons worthy of the name, that moth
ing be done to revive the animosities
of the past. We must give our new
fellow subjects equality of position
with ourselves. We ask, however,
something in return; it is with them
that the issue lies. We hold out our
hand and ask them to take 1t without
thought of the past. but frankly and in
the spirit in which It is offered"
Mr.. Chamberlain elaborated his
theme with eloquence and was loudly
cheered. He announced incidentally
the acceptance of the Boer offer to
fight the Mad Mullsh in Somaliland.

The lord mayor OF London is not the
all powerful official he Is thought to be
on the continent. He is not the mayor
OF all London, but only OF the city OF
London, and the City is but frnc-
tion Of the whole. Greater London has,
roughly, population of 6.0OO,O00, but
In the $50 acres that comprise the City
there Is resident population at night
Of only $4,000 and by day Of little over
100000. And even within this area the
powers Of the lord mayor and Of the
twenty-six aldermen and the two hun
dred ode common councillors are by no
means autocratic.
Much Of what used TO lie within his
and their province has been taken over
by the London county council In fact,
the average Londoner never thinks Of
the lord mayor as an edict making,
law giving official. He stands altogeth-
er apart in the popular mind from ques-
tions Of rates aud assessments. schools
and police Very Few people could say
what legislative functions, If any, he
fulhlls. They may have heard that he
is the chief magistrate OF the courts,
but beyond that their knowledge OF his
precise duties docs not stray. Ii is the
social and decorative side Of his posi-
tion that impresses the public. The
