THE TRANSVAAL.
GOVERNMENT COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE. A LETTER FROM MR STEIN. Reoeived February 14, 9.20 a.m. LONDON, February 13. Tbe Daily Chronicle states thai the Government will send a Commission to South Africa to investigate the Chinese question and report on tbe Transvaal Constitution. Mr Steyn, the former President of the Orange Free State, writing to Mr Stead, editor of the Review of Reviews, states that the Boers expected the Liberal Government to give complete responsible government—not on the basis of one vote one value—to place the Dutch and English languages on an equality, tc fulfil all the obligations of tbe Vereeniging Convention, and then to leave the country severely alone. The Liberals, adds Mr Steyn, must also redeem their promise to take tte Chinese out of the country. It would not be fair to shelter themselves behind a so-called local Legislature.
