Boers Dissatisfied.
A carious sidelight on the South African problem is furnished by a statement, which the Pall Mall Gazette believes to be thoroughly well founded, to the effect that a considerable number of Boer families are about to leave the Transvaal and take up their residence in Rhodesia. The authorities and officials in the South African Republic aye mostly town-bred men who have littlo sympathy or interest in agricultural pursuits, and many of the Boers engaged in farming have complained of the lack of assistance from the Government. They had, however, full confidence in the methods of Mr . Cecil Rhodes, and when the ex-Pre-mier caused it to be known that ho j would welcome them in Rhodesia a
large number of them may be said to have actually jumped afc the offer. The arrangements have been completed, and in a very short time several hundred Boers, with their wives and families, will transfer their allegiance from the South African Republic to the Chartered Company.
