The colonial office winked at some minor violations of its spirit. the Boers croach be howed a disposition to en- vond the boundary limitations of the convention was it aroused, and even then to tardy action. The Transvaal Government had 'its heart set upon two great aims. One was to shut off Cape Col- ony from the north. ths other to establish a seaport of its own. The conquest of Bechuanaland or east would accomplish the first objec the the conquest of Zululand, which stood be- tween it and the ocean in the west, would accomplish the latter. Tentat raids to the east and the west were suppressed b: the British authorities, but not until th: boundaries of the Scuth African republi. had been slightly enlarged on hoth sides In short, the Eritish took o little inter- cst in the matter that it is impossible | the Boers might stealthily and gradually ave succeeded in their double zim, de- | spite the vigilance of Cecil Rhodes and Sir covery of gold Witwatersrand range of hills ! everything, To be sure, the first | mine: exploited in 1886, at ‘berton, col- | lapsed after the preliminary rush, but the | unique conglomerate deposits in the local | Hercnles Robinson. |in the | change The 6 | ity where the prescnt city of Johan : | burg sprang up, almost in a night, gave | assurance to the werld that one of the | greatest c ‘nters of gold mining known to French and Aus amed into t region. The Boers classed them all as Uitlanders or foreigners. To-day Johan- netburg, which is practically an Engiish city, numbers over one hundred thousand souls. Pretoria, the capital of the State, can muster barely five thousand. To-day the Uitiander population of the South Af- rican republic is at least twice as la as that of the Boers. The Ultlanders not only have a preponderance in numbers, but they have the wealth, the intelligence and the energy that make numbers tell. Meanwhile the Boers had awakened to their imminent peril of being swamped by this invasion of aliens. They had at one time welcomed immigration. In 1884 President Kruger, when in London. hed even published an fnvitation to English- men to settle in the country. At that time an franchise after a residence of two ve ow, although the Boers welcomed de ‘of money that flowed into the e hausted exchéquer, they took steps to pr serve their independence by restricting rs. he a t Only when | all history had been found. The world was quick to respond. Vast multitudes of foreigners, chiefly English, but numbering g rmans, | rize | settler could secure the electoral | the privilege of the ballot. The proba- tionary term of qualification was raised first to five years and then to fourteen. During. that probationary term the pros- pective citizen had to forswear alleglance | to any other state. Even at the expira- tion of that term his admission depended upon the will of the President and of the | Volksraad, or Legislative Assembly. Thus he might remain forever a man without a country. His children, even if born in the republic, were galiens, who could only gain the rights of citizenship by the same uncertain processes of nat- uralization. Meanwhile, to increase the preponderance of Boer domination, the ballot was thrown open to native chil- | nFmG as scon as they had reached the age | of 16. Naturally the Uitlanders protested. | They pointed out that though they con- | stituted the majority of the state, own- g half the land and at least nine-tenths of the property, and payving more than nine-tenths of the taxes, yet in all mat- | ters affecting their lives, their liberties and propertics they had practically no voice. 1In 1860 a concession was made to them. A second Volksraad was created, for the members of which aliens might vote after taking the oath and residing for two years in the country. But as all the decrees of the second Volksraad are subject to the approval of the first Volks- 1, this concession conceded little or £. Uitlanders had other grievances. complained that the taxes were op- | pressive amd were squandered in the se- cret service and the fortifications at Pre- toria, while Johannesburg remained a pesthole. They inveighed against the mo- nopolies granted by the Government, es- | pecially the dynamite monopoly, which | placed it in the power of a single Ger- man firm to charge literally a double price for an inferior article. They de- nounced the exorbitant freight charges of the Netherlands Railroad Company, which owns all the railways in the coun- try and is protected by the Government. They pointed out that these extortions made a serious difference in the profits of the best mines, threatened the existence of the second best ang had already led to the abandonment of poorer ones, which would pay under more liberal conditions. This discontent reached a crisls in 1896, he lealers among the Ultlanders had formed a national union at Johannesburg which threatened to fight for its rights. At this juncture came Dr. Jameson's raid from British Bechuanaland and his subse- | quent defeat, followed by the disarma- ment_of Johannesburg. “The belief that | the British Colonial Office had onnived at the expedition and the certainty that | Cecil Rhodes had inspired it increased the Boer distrust of their hereditary foes and their unwillingness to make any further concessions. For the moment Jameson's flasco cast a damper upon the Ultlanders. It injured the prestige of Great Britain in the eves of the world. It raised the belfef of the Boers in the justice of their cause and in the continuance of its tri- umph. That there is a measure of justice on their side is evident enough to any im- partial observer. They are fighting for self-preservation. However oppressive their legislation against the Uitlander, oppression seems to be inevitable if they wish to retain what is dearest to them: their political independence. They have seen Great Britain gradually hemmin, them in on all sides, The annexation ol Matabeleland and of Bechuanaland cut off their cutlet to the west. The vast ter- ritory of Rhodesia, named after Cecil Rhodes, to whose genius and enterprise Great Britain is indebted for its acquisi- tion, lies across their northern boundary. Portuguese East Africa bars egress to the northeast. The British occupation of Za- luland, and finally of the narrow strip of seacoast reaching from Zululand clear up to the Portuguese frontier, effectnally dashed the Boer dream of obtalning a seaport. This last stroke is regarded by Mr. Bryce as-“‘one of the most important in recent South African history.” Thus hemmed in only two alternatives seem open to the Boers—either suicide by granting the franchise to a Uitlander ele- ment composed largely, of Englishmen, which, by the sheer force of electoral majorities must end in transforming the Transvaal into a British dependency, or death at the hands of Great Britain. Great Britain has recovered from the temporary setback of the Jameson raid. Again she has turned an attentive ear to the protests of her citizens In the Trans- vaal. Matters were precipitated by the shooting of one of these citizens, a miner named Edgar, while resisting the unlaw ful entry into his home of a Boer police. man, who, without a warrant, sought his arrest on the charge of assault. It was shown that the assault had been com- mitted in self-defense upon an abusive drunkard. Nevertheless, the ‘policeman was not only acquitted but praised by the presiding judge. It was this incident that led up to the present agitation. The flame was fanned when Ultlander meetings of protest were broken up by organized bands led by Government officials. A body known as the Uitlander Council was formed, with representatives from the mines and the towns. For the first time in its history Uitlander Johannesburg steod firm and united. Appeals were made to Sir Alfred Milner, who in 1897 was appointed Gov- ernor of Cape Colony and High Commis- sioner for South Africa. In reviewing the situation he declared that “the case for intervention was overwhelming. Sir Joseph Chamberlain and the English Government sustained his view. The result was a meeting between Sir Alfred Milner and President Kruger on May 30, 1899, at a conference at Bloem- fontein, the capital of the Orange Free State. 'The conference left matters in statu quo. President Kruger had been empowered by the Volksraad to propose conferring the franchise upon aliens five years after eligibility to the second Raad, thus_substituting a_ nine years' residence | in the territory for the fourteen at present exacted. He proposed that other questions in dispute should be submitted | to atbitration. Sir Alfred’s reply, in sub- | stance, was that on any vital matter | there could be no arbitration between a| suzerain state and its dependency Kruger refused to consider any term which did not recognize the independence of the Transvaal. The Boer contention, in fact, is that as the word “suzerainty” was deliberately left out of the London convention, British suzerainty no longer exists. The English argument is that suzerainty exists ipso facto in the veto power confirmed to the Queen by the London convention in all the Transvaal's dealings with foreign na- tions. A state which is prohibited from managing its foreign affairs in its own way cannot, it is argued, be'called an in- | dependent state. But the struggle, though hopeless, will be a terrible one. The Boers in the Trans vaal claim the ability to mobilize 20,000 men in three days. They expect that a thousand Germans in Johannesburg will in them. They will be led in person by | General Piet Joubert, who holds —the| i double position of Vice President of the republic and commandant general of its forces. The sexagenarian veteran, who has proved his mettle against the sav- ages and against English troops, grimly announced that in the event of a de tion of war_he would capture Na three days. But it is not the Boers in the Transvaal only that are to be reckoned with. Orange Free State is more Duich | than English. Since 1854 it has been in- dependent of England. Its President, M. T. Steyn, is in sympathy with President Kruger. Even in Cape Colony the Dutch greatly outgumber all the other white: A civil war in the very heart of the B ish dominions in Africa is not an impossi ble event.

SANTA CRUZ DEFEATS THE OAKLANDERS Visitors From the Seashore Beat Out the Athenians in Clever Fashicn, Santa Cruz alighted on “Smiling” Stef- fani's curves at the outset of yesterday's game and before it closed the visitors from the city by the sea had netted elev- en hits and ten tallies, a performance which made the Athenians’ twirler sad and brought little joy to the hearts of the Oakland enthusiasts. It was a par- ticularly unhappy day for the Oakland players. The winning gait assumed by the “Dudes” was brought to a halt, but | Instead of being disheartened the mem- bers of the club are hopeful and expect to retrieve their defeat to-day. Steffani demoralized his teammates in the first inning by making a fumble of a | bunted ball and throwing wildly to first, allowing thre beachcombers home. The Oakland pitcher evidently be- came discouraged by his misplay, and he | did not pitch up to his usual gait. He seemed to lack speed and at times con- trol of the sphere. In the third inning the “Crab connected with his delivery for five long hits and scored as many runs, which, added to the three Steffani | bresented to them, gave the Santa Cruz | nine a lead that was never overcome. Oakland made a hearty bid for runs, but the excellent support given Whelan nipped their efforts in the bud. Up to the eighth inning the “Beachcombers” played error- less ball. In that inning MecCarthy earned a black mark by allowing a swift grounder to pass through his hands. The | runuer got no further than the initial | cushion, as McCarthy backed by Clarke. | The sun came out too late to properly Iry the fleld, and as a result the players | of both teams gave a highly interesting gymnastic_performance. Schmeer, Bab. bitt and “Handsome” Bill Devereaux did some cavorting in their positions to bring endless joy o the small boy, Who was hot loth to express his good will when either of the players named did high and lofty tumbling for the ball. The game was fuil of hard hitting and greatly pleased the | crowd. It took just one hour and ten minutes to play ‘the first four innings. Thi s due fo the heavy batting and of pitchers and players.

Babbitt's work at short was a marvel to | the “fans.” He scooped five chances and with tremendous speed sent the ball to | first always in time to head the runner | off. Streib seemed to be as much at home | on 'figst as he is in the field or behind the | bat. " Twelve put-outs came his way with- out an error. In Drennan Manager Tut- | tle has a splendid fielder. He captured six difficult flies in center. helan held the Oaklands down to nine hits, but | this was due to the excellent support he | received.

Not satisfied with his successes in his | native country. he went to England and | now his fame as a successful horseman is on the tip of every tongue not only in this country and England, but in every section of the globe where racing has found favor. When Tod first went to England his temerity was openly laughed at, but the | little American played skittles with his English rivals and his victories made all | England gasp. | Haying the stamp of royal approval, | society both at home and abroad “lion- | 1ze” him and he is feted and petted to an | extent that would turn an ordinary mor- | tal's head. | | | The great jockey was in such demand socially and dined and wined to such an extent that it was feared his health | would give way. Too much society and the nervous strain of racing told on him. A two weeks' trip to America made him acquainted with Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets and their remarkably restorative ef- | fects on a depleted digestive apparatus and he recommended them in unstinted terms to a friend, saying: “Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are the best thing 1 know of for keeplnf the stomach in condition and appetite in good repair.” Thousands of former dyspeptics can | vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan’s words, as “Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets” have be- come a household word in America, and few families are without them. One or two taken after meals keep the stomach sweet by causing prompt and healthy di- gestion of the food. Perfectly healthy people use them after heavy dinners to keep their good health and to make sure that no ill effects will follow an un ‘Ilallr hearty meal. Your druggist will teil you or vour doc- tor either that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are composed only of digestive ferments, Asceptic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit acids. etc., and for the strong stomach as well as the most delicate constitute & safe- guard against indigestion and stomach troubles.
