SOUTH AFRICA.
THE COLOR QUESTION.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, May 19.
Mr Bitehie, Chaneellor of the Exchequer, has announced that an analysis of tenders for the Transvaal loan revealed that the applications included 145 at one million each, 89 at a million and upwards, five at five millions, five at ten millions, four at 20 millions and upwards. Capetown, May 19. Lord Milner, speaking at a congress of municipalities at Johannesburg, urged the delegates to discuss the native question. It was unassailable on the ground of civilisation that civilised natives should be entitled to municipal rights. The question of political rights should be reserved for the Legislature elected by the whites. The influx of Asiatics ought to be resisted for social and economic reasons, and not on tbe ground of color, but the civilised and educated must not be deprived, he would not say of political rights, but of the other privileges that whites enjoyed.
