UNION PARLIAMENT BEGINS
NEW WORK AT CAPE TOWN
Questions of Finance Promise to
Cause Lively Debate

CAPE TOWN, Dec. 2I.-After several
weeks Of ceremonies aud formalities,
the Union parliament has settled down
to business. Hitherto the sittings have
been short, and the debates have been
of d non-party nature Tho first bills
introduced by the government arc con-
soIidatinC bills to secure uniformity
throughout the Union in such matters
as naturalization. public holidays etc.
But if parliament itself has been dull
and indolent cabinet and caucus have
both been busy during the past month,
and there has been trouble behind the
scenes in connection with the appoint
ON which the Mcrriman section Of the
ministeralsts have been at variance
with the Botha section.
So far Mr.. Merrman and the cape
Natiunalsts, with their Free state all
lies, have got the better of the Trans
Vaal Nationalists. A Cape man has
been put in the speakers chair and a
Free state nominee has been made
president of the senate the chairman
of committees in both houses is a Cape
member, and the chief government
whip, like the chiefoppositiOn whip, is
also a cape Representatives. As for the
Transvaal, il has succeeded i'm having
Transvaal officers appointed as clerks
of the house of assembly and senate;
and the Transvaal sergeant-at-arms is
now sergent-at-arms for the Union
parliament, after a very close contest.
Questions of finance promise to give
rise to the livclest debates before many
days are over
