The problem Is fraught with great
difficulty. owing 10 the difficulty Of

power AM the head Of a eosuaial

served at forty round tables, with dis.
tinguished guests at each table.
The first week Of the colonial coA
ferenca has been occupied largely by
receptions and social affairs. altho
a few business sessions have been
held. The Canadian and Australian
premiers, the most important figurec
at the three preceding conference:
have been eclipsed In popular interest
by General Louis Botha, prime minis
ter Of the reconstructed Transvaal
and DIR. l.. s. Jameson, the Transvaal
raider. now premier of Cape Colony.
According to Lord Elgin, colonial
secretary. the duration of the con.
ference will likely not extend beyond
May Is. as DIR. Jameson and other
delegates have announced that they
must return Immediately after that
date. Owing to I @ number and i'm.
portance of the subjects to be consid.

begin their labors in earnest next
week.
In the preliminary discussions, the
subject Of preferential trade has been
given the most attention. Premiers
Laurier Of Canada, and Deakin of
Australia. have openely declared thai
while they are In favor of granting
trade advantages to the mother coun.
try. they consider the present ar
rangement unfair. as affording the
colonies no return for their allegiance
and this opinion is shared by Pre-
mier Jameson of Cape Colony, who
has introduced a resolution on the
subject as follows:

the principle of preferential treatment
for products and manufactures OF the
United Kingdom, desires to impress
upon his majesty's government the
opinion that the continuance of such
preferential treatment to British pro-
