Mr. Chaunberlain theii said: "Our objects, methods, and determination were to carry out these objects. It was necessary to impress upon President Kruger the seriousness of the succes which would simble a mistake on his part.

"And," he added, "I would pay the greatest attention to his arguments if I did not know he would use precisely the same arguments in

There is one question which this correspon- 'dent's words inevitably suggest. Perhaps we
had better first quote his words:-
There is terrible disappointment here among those who cannot get into the Imperial Light Horse, Old hands are turning up from every where; some are coming back from hone giving up their trips to England, so long waited for. One has put off his wedding to come." Heaps will be disappointed, as it is clear that the corps will be full up in no time. The riding and medical tests for the Imperial knock out a number of excellent men old hands too but Sambo (Sampson), Karri (Karri Davies), Charles Mullins, Doveton, Jack Orr, and the corps surgeons Billy Davies and Mitchell are dead set on having only the best. I believe that we could easily get together 3,000, men out of the Johannesburg lat in Natal, and there must be plenty more in Capetown and other coast towns: but the Imperial Government have not yet agreed Perhaps they think it quicker and better to bring soldiers than train them, but there is
· much virtue in the volonter, and vor chaps are so keen.
Why was the Imperial Light Horse limited by the Government to son men when six times as many were eager to serva? With their local knowledge and zeal for the cause they would have made a splendid fighting corps; and the suggestion that trained soldiers are more suitable for fighting among hills of Natal, strange enough in any case, becomes positively grotesque when we remember that private enterprize is sending out small detachments of yeomanry for enlistment in this very corps. Fifteen members of the Kent Yeomanry were sent out this week by Lord tarnys, and the Earl of Lonsdale is taking out a detachment of the Westmoreland men next week. If it is worth while to send detachments of yeomanry from Kent and Westmoreland, why not utilize the cager volunteers on the spot?
A letter forwarded to the Times from Natal, contains interesting details of the formation and organisation of the Imperial Light Horse, the Johannesburg corps, who did such good service at Elandslangte. The regimeht was soo strong, and divided into six squadrons of three troops each. The men were subjected to a severe test examination in riding and rifle shooting, as well as health, and some 25 per

Mr. Chamberlain then replied to the criticism of his note recepting the mediation of Mr. Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader, pointing out that while he believed Mr. Hofmeyer was sincere, yet he could not forget that when President Kroger made "absolutely illusory proposals for a settlement" Mr. Hofmeyer was perfectly ready to accept them.

Mr Redmond-persisted-is-his-remarks, and the Chairman asked him to resume his seat. This he refused to do, and he was then ordered to withdraw, which order he also refused to
oboy.
An uproarious scene ensued, Mr. Redmond attempting to continue and his voice being drowned by the cheers of the Irish members and cries of "Order 1" and "Withdraw!" from the Opposition benches.
Such a thing could not be continued for ever. We have needed a permanent force of 25,000 in South Africa. We are told we shall lose South Africa. Our forcin friends are convinced of it. Yet they are not happy. Such predictions were made before, and were even current in the days of Elizabeth. But I am not alarmed. One great Teutonic people can- not hold in subjection another great Teutonic people, but this has never been out course. It is impossible to pretend that the Dutch at the Cane are crushed by our rule, when they have all the rights Englishmen possess, and even individual cases are permitted to talk and write treason. Whatever may be the result of the war, and the premature talk of the result, from the present war does anyone imagine that we shall fail to do for others what claimed for ourselves, or refuse equal rights to

Importation of Chinese Labour.
The Straits Times understands that the Governments of the Federated Malay States have agreed upon a scheme for importing a quantity of Chinese labour. The scheme has been partly devised by Mr. Hare, who is the head of the Chinese department of the Malay States. The substance of the scheme is to recruit direct from the Canton Province, and to ship from Canton on vessels that shall go direct to the Malay Peninsula ports. It is not inten- ded that these vessels shall pass through Singa- pore without stopping, and they may, no doubt, bring some coolies for Singapore. Iur_the_ substantive point of the scheme is that coolics shall be recruited in the Canton Province, for the Malay Peninsula, and shali be taken direct from Canton to the Malay Peninsula without
any change of steamer. The Government of the Federated Malay States are prepared to contribute $5 a head towards the working of this scheme, up to a limit not exceeding 50,000 coolies.
