THE TRANSVAAL.
SPEECH BY SIR A. MILN#£.
Capetown, March 6. Sir A. Milner, High Commissioner of South Africa, speaking at Capetown, deprecated the Transvaal’s suspicion of Britain. He said that retrograde administration was responsible for the recent unrest in the Transvaal. He appealed to the Dutch to influence the Government to assimilate the Transvaal institutions with those of neighbouring States. Sir James Sivewright, Commissioner of Railways, said the Cape would not prevent the intervention of foreign Powers in the Transvaal. Mr Kotze, who was recently dismissed from the Chief Justiceship of the Transvaal, for repudiating the agreement not to test the laws or 'resolutions of the Yolksraad, states that he intends shortly to issue a protest against his dismissal, on the ground that it was contrary to the 1881 Convention with Britain. He says the suzerain Power will see that protection is afforded in regard to capital and personal rights, which is impossible with a subservient Bench.
