Eagiand te Grant Citizenship to Boer and Briton Allie. LONDON, Avg. L—ln a speech of great mwoderfition carefully designed to propitiate his opponents Winston Churchill, parliamentary secretary of the coloulal office, lu the bouse of com- mons explained the governments plans to confer a constitution on the Transvasl, dwelling on the urgency of the question. He described the Transvaal as the nerve celiter of South Africa and sald the new country reproduced in minia- ture all the dark and tangled prob- lems of the old established European states. The government's guiding principle bad been to treat Boer and Britou alike and to make no distine tion In grauting the boon of British citizenship Loth to the men who fought loyally for Great Britain and to those who resisted the British arms with desperate courage. While the government had been careful to secure for the British every sdvaniage they might justly claim, South Africa's future depended on both races learning to look to the mother country as a friend. The gov- ernment decided for the principle of manhood suffrage agafost any proper ty qualification. Thefefore every adolt male twenty-one years old who had been a resident six months In Bouth Africa except members of the British garrison would be entitled tosvote un- der the secrecy ballot system. 2 | representation was net popular and incomprehensible in the Transvaal, so it had been decided to EU straight for single member seats. In regard to electoral divisions, argy- ments existed both for equal nreas and the old magisterial districts. The Boers had expressed a stroug desire to preserve the latter, and as It would save precious time and expense the delimitation of the old districts system was adopted. The population of the rand, Mr Churchill continued, equaled that of the whole of the rest of the country, and on the Lasls of the census of 1804 it had been decided to allot thirty-two members to the rand, one to Krugers- dorp, six to Pretoria and thirty to the rest of the country, HILL CLIMBING CONTEST.
