' Government in Step. .
CAPPE TOWN. 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.

which could possibly prevent the home

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,

to stop it, and even the government

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."

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

breeders were snatching the opportune

"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

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.

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

which approach the original In nu

It takes about four yrs to brlut
