BEERS INSULT CHAMBERLAIN
call Botha and Dewct ~scOundreIs and
Ask Law to Rntify Peace
P.ct.

BLOOMFONTE1N. Feb. 6.-Mr. Cham
berlain today had a two hours conference
with a deputation NJ about forty Beers OF
the extreme party, including Christian
Dewet.
The deputation presented an address,
which, It is understood. Mr.. Chamberlain
rejected. at the same time rebuking the
delegates for presenting It. as 1t impugned
the good faith OF himself and the govern
ment.
Christian Dewct, who referred to Piet
Dewet and Chris Botha as scoundrels, ac-
cused the government Of contravening the
terms OF the Veriningen agreement and re-
quested that the terms Of peace should be
incorporated in a law.
The feuds between the Boer parties have
become so strong, particularly between the
brothers, Christian and Pet Dewet, that
Mr.. Chamberlain may well be in doubt as
to who really represents the people Of the
Orange River colony.
Piet Dewet, who has been appointed a
justice OF the peace, headed a delegation
of loyalist Beers to Mr.. Chamberlain.
Christian Dewet until today had made ex-
cuses and absented himself from all the
functions connected with Mr.. Chamber
lain's visit. He is credited with wanting
TO tear up the Vereeniging treaty and
begin afresh.
