June 27. (Special.) A native deputation is leaving today - for England to present a series of grievances to the Imperial Government. ' The deputation includes the Rev. Dr. Dube, a highly educated Zulu, who studied for a number of years in American universities; the. Rev. Dr. Rabusana, .' late member of the Cape Provincial Council, and representatives of the Free State and the Transvaal. On being: asked why they thought it necessary to appeal to the Imperial - factor, they said that there is very grave dissatisfaction with tne manage ment of native affairs by the Union Government of South Africa. The land . act has brought matters to a head. This measure is not yet fully opera tive, but the farmers are taking ad vantage of it to injure the natives. Thousands of native squatters, .more . particularly in Pvatal, are receiving no tice to quit, and have nowhere to go. Many have sold their stock at ruinous prices, and from tenant farmers have sunk to the position of laborers, earn ing 2.50 to- 13.75 monthly, with a few mealies thrown in. Natives Are Badly Treated. The deputation bitterly complains that the present unfortunate situation might have been foreseen if the gov ernment had been in better touch with native opinion. The Native Affairs De partment is doing its best to mitigate ' the hardship, but the fact remains that the natives are driven off lands re. served for future European occupation . before other lands have been ear. marked for exclusively native occupa tion. The deputation will request the Im perial Government to exercise Its right and veto the native land bill. That, however, is only one phase of the mis sion of the deputation, which repre sents an immense body of natives. They Intend laying other grievances before the Imperial Government, notably the alleged failure of the Union authorities to make an adequate Inquiry Into tbe killing of two natives by the defense force during tha Janu ary disturbances, and the circum stances connected with the recent emeute at Jagersfontein mine. .Their object la to convince tbe Imperial Gov ernment that tbe latter has no right, having due regard to native interests, to hand over the protectorates of Basu toland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland to the Union Government, at all events wftbout exacting the most rigorous guarantee. . Cape Town Surprised at Act, The dispatch of this deputation to England comes as a surprise to the public here, who have heard' practi cally nothing of these grievances. The action now being taken serves as a re minder, that the time is probably not far distant when the colored people auJ natives wil) begin actively to agi tate. Speaking in the House of Assembly, Mr. JJeyler, one of the Natal members, said that the natives and colored folk were beginning to think they ought to exist for themselves. Denied the fran chise, they would resort to direct action, organizing themselves into in dustrial combinations. Mr. Meyler pro tested that he was not putting such Ideas into the natives' heads. From his intercourse with their leaders he was convinced that the ideas were there already. This speech has caused some sensation among the members.

BERLIN, June B?. Songs that have pleased the Crown Prince and his (am. Ily cannot be indecent. At least, this appears to be the rule of law from the conduct of the state's attorney In an - action against a Berlin muslo publisher. The action began with the confiscation of 15 songs. The prosecutor contend ed that each of these was Indecent and a violation of the law concerning obscene publications. The defendant's attorney set up that 10 of the songs had been sung at a special performance in the palace be fore the Crown Prince and other mem bers of the imperial family by ft caba ret performer. These JO were there upon released, but the court upheld the confiscation of the other five.

Amending; Bill" Declared Forced by Vlster Rifles for Conciliatory Purposes May Divido Na tionalist Forces. . BT TIMOTHT J. O'CONNOR. DUBLIN, June 27. In a statement to a representative of the Freeman's Journal, John Redmond said: ' "The union, as we have known It, Is dead. That much at any rate is be yond doubt or' question after the re cent division of the House of Com mons, There are only two eventual! ties, and both ot them are impossible. which could possibly prevent the home rulo bill actually becoming a statute in a few weeks' time. The first is that the present session of Parliament should come to -an abrupt end before one month. an utterly unthinkable proposition: and the other is that the House of Commons should suddenly go mad and pass a resolution to the effect that the-bill should not be presented for the royal assent. In the absence of these two absurd contingencies, the bill must automatically beoome law, ' The House of Lords Jias no power to stop it, and even the government has no power to prevent it golpg in the ordinary course, for the royal as sent, to the throne- The Parliament Act provides that the bill "shall be pre. aented for the royal assent" At one time there were people idiotio and ir responsible enough to suggest that the King could, or would, withhold his royal assent But everyone now ad mits that Is an absolutely absurd and impossible suggestion. . . . "AmeadlHg; Bill" Explained. "It is true that we are faced with the prospect of what Is called, or, .rath er, miscalled, an "amending bill." Let there be no mistake about this; no amendment In the bill Is called for either by the government itself or by the Irish party. We believe that the bill is a good, workable bill, and that it Is a charter of liberty for the Irish people; but we are praatical politicians, and. I hope, men of sense, and we all recognize that It is worth paying a great price to Insure that home rule will come Into operation amid universal good will, and to prevent its being heralded by civil commotion ef any sort. "People talk of the possibility, of a general election before the bill actually comes into operation. Portions of the bill will come into operation the day It receives tbe royal assent. Other por tions of the bill must necessarily come Into operation gradually, and, at the best, months must elapse before It oan possibly be In full working order with a parliament actually sitting in Dublin. "I see no likelihood of an early gen eral election, but. general election or no general election, the return once more of the Liberal party to power, or the return most unlikely of the Tory party to power, the union of Pitt and Castlreagh can never be again set upon t feet, and the assembling of an Irish parliament, under the previsions ef the home rule bill, is as certain as the ris ing of tomorrow's sun." Increased Reernltina; Reported. The increased recruiting, of national volunteers is remarkable. An evening paper reports that one day alone brought In 4000 new members. It Is stated that progress Is especially rapid lp County Antrim. The Volunteer says: "With the plac ing of the bill upon the statute book the home rule question Is far from ended. The Ulster rifles have made an amending bill a necessity for the Lib eral government, and It Is the duty of Nationalist Ireland to have a control ling voice in what that amending bill will be like. The volunteers will be the last to refuse to do anything that would conciliate any section of Irishmen, but there is a point beyond which concil iation is cowardice, and that limit must net be exceeded. However baseless the fear that Irish freedom would Inter fere with the liberty of any party In Ireland, it can be allayed by reason able .concessions. If it cannot be al layed by concessions within reasonable limits, then the people of Ireland as a whole must let the result prove that, while the Irish volunteers are here, they are the protection of national and Individual liberty."

'ERMANENT FAMINE FEAR Importer Says Situation Is in Danger of Becoming Serious and Working Folk Will Not Take to Substi tute Easily, I View. LONDON, June it. (Special.) Though much has been heard recently of the Increased price of feod, and so f livina- srenerally. the British publla have scarcely yet realized that It is threatened with a scarcity of meat which may easily and in the opinion of some authorities must Inevitably become nermanen L Tho history of the scarcity Is the history of Increased meat consumption, Aieai-eaimg, uno always been a feature of prosperity. When a man's position In Jlfe improves, he generally Increases the range of his diet, adding to It more of the stimu lating foods, of which meat Is the chief example. The vast stream of emigration irom Poland, Italy and other European countries to the United States did not at first greatly affect tho consumption of meat In that country, xnese emi errants lived largely upon a diet of oereals. Prosperity, however. Joins the ranks of meat eaters. Meanwhile Japan has appeared in the market and varl- ius European eountries, including ius la, are beginning to absorb larger meat supplies. The results are wan Known to moss Interested In tbe meat trade and are viewed by them with considerable mis giving. The United States, which used to send huge consignments ot mm this country, has sent nothing at all during the last two years: instead It has abolished its meat tariff and is Im porting on a large scale. At present the keenest competition is taking place between the British and American buy ers for tbe available supplies of Ar gentine and Australian meat. A prominent importer said recently that the position was exceedingly ser ious. The price of cattle bad gone up very much, and was Increasing. It was . bound to increase still further. While the population of the United States had gone up 10,000.000 the num bers of eattl had deollned by 1,000.000. breeders were snatching the opportune Itv of hiah orlues and selling with- out .regard to future necessities. The Continental demand for veal, too wa resDonaibla for the slaughter of lm mensa number ef calves in Argentina. "Jn my view," this merchant said, "we have a real and absolute meat scarcity at present, which in a year or two will have beoome acute. Britain will prob ably b forced to grow her own meat as in the old days, or to pay some thin like famine prices." Thi view was supported by another very large importer, wno aeciarea mat already th very high price of eanned meat showed how difficult It was tq obtain supplies. "Th prospects of ob taining supplies," he said, "are gloomy In the extreme. Democratic govern ment tend to plit up large ranches Into small agricultural holdings, while industry steadily nroaches upon the available grasing land." The effect of this change wouin c far-reaching and important. British farming and stock rearing may be ea. pected to enter upon an entirely new shase. In which scientifio method will be of the greatest practical value, La bur will be attracted baek to tne land, and if the people want meat they will have to get it home grown, rather than from abroad.. A meat diet Is widely believed in as' an essential to hard phys ical toil, and there are no eupauiuie which approach the original In nu tritive value. It takes about four yrs to brlut an animal- to beef-yleldlng age. This fact must be set against th Idea that in Mexico and Siberia th world' pos sesses great cattle-bearing countries at preseut net fully developed. No doubt in time these countries will eon. tribute to the world' supply. When that tint eemes. however, th world's consumption will have advanced still further- Germans Like Olynipje Gomes.

The recent asser tions by Sir Percv Bcott that battle ship are fast becoming archato have received wide attention because it was Blr Percy who did so much towsrd perfecting the big-gun service of th British dreadnought.
