POSITION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
; The position in South Africa is becoming decidedly interesting. Ever ; since lie was told that his room in tlie i Uniion Cabinet was preferable to his company, General Hertzpg has been endeavouring to inflame the populace : against the Prime Minister, and, incidentally, against Great Britain. General Botha is essentially a South African. He has immense confidence in the future of that country. But He is not going to allow his loyalty to 'his native country to create a breach in the ties between South Africa and the Empire of which it is a part. General Hertzog wants an appeal to the electors. He wants, if possible, to seize the reins of power from General Botha. He is, however, in a hopeless and helpless minority. iGeneral Botha's tour through the country has -been a triumphant vindication of his policy, and he ia not likely to be coerced whilerhe has publio opinion and a majority in Parliament at Ira back.
