CHAMBERLAIN'S AFRIKANDER POLICY

Mr.. Chamberlain has only been a few
days in South Africa, but he has already
achieved a stroke Of business and of
policy of frst-class magnitude and i'm
portance. The people of Natal have no
especiaI reason TO entertain feelings OF
affection and devotion toward tha
mother country over and above the or

manner in which its interests have been

most severe fighting took place upon its
soil and It's inhabitants suffered Sc

property consequent upon the military
operations within the province. They

amounting to $4,000. GOO. for which he

NEW PHASES OF PROFIT SHARING.

Undoubtedly the largest and probably

is that just announced by the UniteG

enable every empIoye of the controlling
company or any OF its subsidiaries TO

In proportion to the salaries which they
receive.
The stock being offered to them at

for what may be called bonus dividends
to be paid to employees who remain in
the company's service and retain their
stock for rot less than FIVE years, so that
the investment may pay as much as Is

The scheme is primarily one of en-

1t is not reported what arguments
Mr. Chamberlain employed to bring
about this result. It may be. and upon
the whole this seems the most likely,
that he used no arguments whatever, but
that the honor of his presence and the
charm OF his personality were alone SUI

prince to action. and which remains
memorable as the last duel fought in
the English army with the sanction of
the military authorities. Captain Munro
killed his brother-ln-law. and on the
initiative of both the Queen and the
Prince CoDsort, criminal proceedings
were instituted by the civil authorities,
not alone against Captain Munro. but
likewise against the seconds, as Access
series to the crime. This scared the
officers in question to such degree that
they fed the country. They remained
absent for several years. and although
the prince endeaYored to effect their dis
missal from the army. the utmost that
he could obtain from the military au-
thoritIes was their retirement for being
absent without leave. Eventually they
returned to England and stood trial.
Captain Munro was convicted of murder
by the criminal courts and condemned
to death, the sentence being subse-
quently commuted to a term of impris-
onment while the seconds we're ac-
