TICES,

| BARTERING HIS CONSCIENCE FOR £4,000. When the action by the Transvaal

; | Government againstthe Northern Rail- | way Company is heard at the Brussels | Supreme Court some very sensational evidence will be disclosed. Under the | arrangement the Transvaal Govern- | ment guaramteed 4 per cent. on the | cost of constructing the line, the cost }not to exceed 49,600 per mile. The | actual cost was abou £7,200, but on | much money had to be expended si | Securing the goed offices of the high | officials of the Transvaal that the Com- ‘pany have obtained interest on the maximum, ‘They say the apparently \large margin has been largely ab- |sorbed by the enormous bribes they ' were obliged to give in erder to obtain the concession. Here is an authentic list : | Eloff, President’s son-in-law—£500 cash 2,000 shares in company. | General Smit, Vice-President of the , Transvaal—£500 cash. Bok, member of the Executive Council—£500 cash, £1,000 shares. President ef Volksraad—£125 cash. Van Boeschoten, Secretary to the | Volksraad—£2,00 cash, £200 shares. | General Joubert, (deceased )— £5,- 2@o shares. Mrs. Kruger—Z,1,000 cash. Mare, member of Volksraad, £1,- ooo shares. : All other members of the Volksraad, | various presents in cash, carriages, | watches, and miscellaneous items.

Apart from the inherent weakness of | the case for the Transvaal (the Daily Chronicle says), two facts must tell heavily against the plaintiff. The first is that the whole of the transactions now complained of were fully known at Preteria from the first; and the sec-

by in the City of Sharlottetown | ond is that it was onlyin 1895, when

the bulk of the shares passed into Eng- lish hands, that Mr. Kruger, no doubt fearing Mr. Rhodes’ influence, be- thought himself ef having recourse to law. To make the matter clearer one must trace it from the outset. When Baron Oppenhein visited Pretoria in 1892, it was only by careful dipiomacy and unlimited promises of ‘Christmas gifts” that he succeeded in securing the concession, which he saw from the first was a paying venture. Some of his telegrams te his brother in Paris _are highly instructive.

“Shall have to give Kruger £4,000 cash and £20,000 shares if anything is to be done.” ‘“Must make up our minds to preliminary outlay £20,000 for pots de win.” . . . “You can judge of che corruption of ‘this country,” etc. etc. and finally, | ‘Have squared Kruger with £4,000.” | This fot de vin does not appear on the | statutory list, but the presumptive evi- ' dence of the telegram is a fair indica- {tion that the transaction ° was carried | through.

Dr. Leyds was Secretary of State at | Pretoria when the concession was grant ed, and obviously must have had good

reasons for not accepting his share of the plunder. A careful scrutiny of the | evidence in this case will be an excel- iJent antidote for those whose first | principle of faith is the impeccability | of the Boers.

A BOER PLANK,

Edward Lauterbach created a sensa- ‘tion ata meeting of the New York Citizens’ Committee. The cemmittee | met for the purpose of arranging for an

| Lauterback said: “Neither of the two | great political parties has taken any | definate action on the position of this | Government with respect to the Boer 'war. My own party has not seen fit 'to define its position. It is equally | true that no other nation has done so. ‘In my own country and in my own

The Hanover Courrier confirms inan article evidently inspired, the statement recently cabled to the Asso clated Press, that a leading official! of France not long ago, on being asked how he would act ifan Anglo-Ger- man war broke out, replied :—‘‘We know only one question,” meaning Alsace-Lorraine. The article cludes as follows :—*‘‘It was not a Con- tinental federation against England, but a dreibund against Germany, that was in the air.”

Lord Roberts replied April 22 that he was glad to receive President Kru- ger’s assurance, but pointed out that

KITCHENER DEFEATED.

A batch of correspondence from the London office of the Associated Press contains the following :—

“While Lord Kitehener was engaged suppressing the Prieska rebellion he or- dered the destruction of a certain farm- house. Not seeing any signs of his orders being carried out, he rede over with his staff, and found an interesting situation. In the doorway of the doomed farmhouse stood a pretty, young Dutch girl, her hands casping the doorposts and her eves flashing fire from beneath her sun- bonnet. The Irish sergeant in coarge of the party of destruction was vainly cr dcavo i Zz to persuade her to let them pass,but to all his blandishments ot ‘Arrahy darlint; wisha now, acusula,’ ,
