The first Intimation of anything nudge came through .1h Gun and Gum Tal. who appeared one morning at the home of Thomas Darby, five miles from Crowe Bar, and, through Darby'e cook, announced that Sack Chum had killed Ali Che° with a heavy hammer, for his store of gold ostensibly, and head dragged the body to tete riverside and there dis- posed of It.

He said the greatest diffi- culty was not the reconciliation of the Boers tied Britons, but the re- eteleatatlon of the Boers with the fLere. The Sr•retary then dulled attention to the fact that the Boers were making every effort to develop the country, and were 1orating local agricultural associations, of which the chairmen In many cases were former leaders of the Boer forces. Mr. Chamberlain admitted that much 1 ermined to be done, and said that if 1t wee found that the work of pacification was prevented by Irre- coneilablee, the 'Government would not hesitate to use ite strong power to deport the mischief -makers. The array of grievances set forth In Gen, Botha's letter arouses little Interest of sympathy in Germany. The National Zeitung, which usually Dikes a common sense view of affairs in South Africa, says ; "lf General Botha recognizes the energy with which the people have thrown tttemselee into work again, he ought to draw his concluslone from this fact and take part in the work rather than show discontent by agi- tating. The impreaston le strongly borne in upon one that the former leaders weepy them- selves smith agitation, princi- pally because they cannot make up their minds to give up the promi- nent position which their 9erv1008 in war gave them.' They cannot find their way back into their termer po- rltimn of farmers and cattle -breed, OW, and they see in a political agi- tation the possibility of continuing to play a certain part. 1Y1ey should, however, recollect that as potato. laps they may easily do as much harm me la the capacity of generale they did serve to their own repo - tach ine 111141 to timlr people."
