Many memorable scetaes have been
enacted within the old chamber.
Mention may be made of the excit-
ing incidents • arising . out of the
burning in effigy of the Lieut, -Gov-

nection with the Investigation Sir
Allan MeNab was bnprisoned for
fourteen days for relusing to answer
the questions of tbe 'Committee of
Privillges•
The ten years preceding the "flare-
up" of 1887 hnve been described as
the most turbulent in the parlia-
mentary ' history of the province
when nearly every session witnessed
debates whei o vituperation and ln-
vective ' were the chief weapons.

rages. After the recent capture of
300 stheop by the band a small party
of police followed the epoor of the
maraudere, but abandoned the par-
suit whenihey found the position of
the Irafnes too difficult to attack.
Afterwards armed natives called up-
on the police to surrender and fired
on them, bub the police escaped un-
hurt. The chief native trouble,
gowover, is at Johannesburg, and is
duo to the illicit liquor traffic. On
Saturday night the molice raided the
di•inking dens hi the Kaffir location,
and this caused a riot. One Xaffir
was arrested. Reid a large nennber of
drunken natives munediately attack-
'
.% at
ed the 'police and fired revolvers
them, after which they escaped. A
strong armed guard subsequently
raided the location and destroyed a
thousand gallons of Xathr beer mid
a quantity of whisky.

According to an article in the Se-

the subject; the following are the
figures relating to the conversion of
the Jews to Christianity during the
last century. The total number be-
twoen the years 1800-1890 inclusive
is, he reckons, about 224,000. The
Greek Church has received. out of
this number 74,600; the Protestant
Churches in Great Britain and Am-
erica, 7e,000, and the Roman Otho-
Lie Church 53,500. The figures .for
the year 1898 give these reaults :
In the Protestant churches were etd_
witted 1,450 Jews, in the Romanmonths
Catholic Church 1,250, and in the
Giaek Orthodox, 1,100. Out of the
