BoERS WOULDN'T FIGHT.
So Said Joseph Chamberlain Before
South African War.

London, Feb 5.-An interesting little
bit Of ante-war history was revealed
by the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell Zimmerman. in the House of
Commons. Friday, in the course of the
debate on the amendment to the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne moved byyMr Robson. Liberal.
setting forth that the evidence pre-
sented to the war committee disclosed
grave mismanagement and negligence
on the part of the government during
the South African war.
Referring 20 Jos. Chamberlain's iilts
at the attitude Of the opposition when
Mr.. Chamberlain defeated the course
OF the government towards the Trans
yaal Sir Henry said that when Mr..
Chamberlain interviewed him June 90
1899, prior to the war and asked him
if the opposition would support the
government i'm sending 10000 troops to
Cape Colony, he, Sir Henry expressed
surprise, whereupon Mr.. Chamberlain
said:
You need not be alarmed. There
will be no fighting. We know those
fellows won't fight. We are playing a
game Of bluff.
As result Sir Henry added, the op-
position refused to relieve the govern
ment Of any responsibility regarding
I the course it choose to pursue.
The speech Of Sir Henry was greet
ed with roars of laughter from the
opposition.
a. Mr.. Chamberlain in reply said he
did not remember using the word
fbiuh." His only object in approach
ing Sir Henry was to make sure that
the South African question should not
be treated in party spirit, so that
the Beers might be convinced Of the
earnestneSS OF Great Britain.

by one thousand of the citizens of that en-
