Lucana overfaued the American ship, and
during the day passed her On Friday, just be-
fore luncheon time, the operator on the Lucania
sent this message to the Philadelphia: we

rounded by most of the cabin passengers, and
every move was watched closely
Stewards were kept running from the room to
the Marcon station, just behind the bridge and
Oh the upper deck. AS the moves were received

Secretary but many phianthropists at home
would be surprised to hear that we are en-
couragins it in another and worse form, the
Kaffirs idea being to buy wives to keep him in
idleness. The black is increasing with
great rapidity, and unless it can be settled in
regular industry it will prove a danger and
difficulty
Mr.. Chamberlain urged the desirability of
increasing the white element in the colonies,
and said they wanted more brains and less
muscle. With this in view, he advocated the
establishment of a university which would be
superior to anything in the world. He opposed
any Importation of labor until all the resources
for developing available labor had been ex-
hausted. and he suggested that this subject be
considered by a royal commission.
The Colonial Secretary announced that Lord
Milner had agreed to call conference of the
South African colonies TO consider matters of
common interest. including the question of ma
tive administration and legislation. The Colo
nial Secretary spoke for one hour and half.
