The United States Of South Africa,
which is now looming large In the at
fairs of the British empire, is one OF
the results of the treaty Of Pretoria
which closed the Boer war, begun In
October of 1899.
For many years the relations be-
tween the Boer republic of the Trans
vaal and Cape Colony. lying to the
south of it, had been strained with
resulting strain upon the relations be-
tween the Transvaai and the Brit
ish government. The Orange Free
State, lying between Cape Colony and
the Transvaal, got along better with
the British authorities, but when the
war came threw its lot with the Boer
republic. The principal cause OF fric-
ton was the high-handed manner In
which, under President Kruger, "Uit-
landers," or aliens. In Transvaal were
treated. The Boer, or native, popu-
lation of the Transvaal was about TO-
600 Of whom $4,000 were voting citi-
zens. The Uitlanders. five-sixths OF
whom spoke English, were estimated
at about 10000. nearly half of whom
were male adults; and In December Of
1895, according 20 Lord Bryce, their
numbers were increasing at the rate
Of nearly 1000 week through arriv-
ais from Cape Town alone. and 1t was
estimated that should the deep levels
of the mines go on prospecting, by 1905
there would be an Uitlander popula-
ton In the republic of half million.
or nearly eight times as many Uitland-
ers as natives. The Uitlander was
practically excluded, except In a very
limited and theoretical way. from,
share In the government. But he was
taxed until the Transvaal treasury was
overlooking. And the Uitlanders were
developing the country. conducting the
large enterprises, and were the en-
ployers of labor on large scale. Also
the Transvaal government would not
provide efficient police for the mines
and refused to pass laws tc keep EQuor

Naturally friction was bound to oc-
cur, and matters went from bad to
worse until the famous jameson raid
of 1895. Instigated by Cecil Rhodes,
Doctor jameson, a Scottish physician,

analand, with a force Of about 600
men, to capture the important Boer
city Of johannesburg. He had count

Ianders, but somebody Numbered"
He was not supported and was taken
prisoner on January 2, 1895. Jameson,
the American mining engineer, John
Hays Hammond, and several others OF
prominence among the Uitlanders,
were thrown into prison. jameson
was sent to England for trial, where
he was found guilty Of violating the
foreign enlistment act and sentenced
to ten months Imprisonment, but was
let off through the efforts Of the Amer
lean government and banished from the
country.
Peace Concluded In 1902.
The Beers besieged Ladysmith on
October 20, 1899, and 1t was not until
February %, 1900. that the town was
relieved. Kimberly was besieged on
October IA, and not relieved until Feb
ruary Is of the following year, while
the siege Of Mafeking lasted from DC
tober Is, 1899, to May 10 Of the next
year. The capture of Cronje's army
at the Modder river on February n OF
1900 and the taking of Pretoria on
June were other notable events of
the war. The Beers still held ont In
small bands and 1t was not until 1902
that q peace was finally concluded.
On Msy 81. 1902, treaty was signed
by the British and Boer representa-
