'At tho request of a number of ubscrlber
Tho Ileo reprints from the Chicago Times
Herald n sytioiMlR of tbe address of John
HajH llHnunonil, delivered before tbe l'nl
verwlty club of riilcngo. Mr. Hammond Is
un American engineer who hud charge of
xome of the inlnm in Johannesburg before
tho war and was a participant In the Jameson
raid to overthrow the republic 11 vo yearn
ugo.
.Mr. Hammond responded to tho toast
"Maxims of the N'ordenfeldts." lie Insisted
from the start that ho spoke as an Amer
ican, and not ns holding an KiirIIhIi brief,
and urged his hearerti not to let appeals to
national sympathicH or antipathies Inllu
enm them in forming their opinions on the
Urltlhh-Iloer war.
"I find." he said, "that sympathy for tho
Hoer Is. for the great part, based upon either
an ineradicable hatred of the Kngllsh race,
or raeo Sympathy for the lloers. right or
wrong, nnd finally a sympathy hnscd upon a
Ttilronreptlnn of the true Inwardness of
South African political arfslrs. It Is to the
last-named data of Americans I address my
remarks."
Ilefore beginning his argument Mr. Ham
mond made It clear that the out hinders had
originally gone to tho Transvaal at tbe In
vitation of President Kroner, who wanted to
necurn from development of the mines finan
cial aid for MIh government. The mines, ho
mid. were low grade anil required more
skill to work tbiin the Poets weie capable
of He ref,.i-rp,i for proof of ,na l() ,, rf,,)0.t
of a Doer commission which Investigated the
mines In is:i7. and urged that the minors'
burdens be lightened in order that they bu
lint driven from lho country.
"In short, the truth Is." said Mr. Ham
mond, "that but for tbe large Investments
of the Kuropean capitalists on the one hand
nnd the technical direction of American en
gineers on the olher hand, the Transvaal
mining Industry would not have achieved
any olgnlllcant success."
('Illtl-Kl-K lllMM- TriMlclMM-y.
The speaker then continued to explain tho
treachery of the lloers toward the rtitlanl
er. tho rapid change of the laws till they
became oppressive, and the development of
the grievances which Kruger refused to set
right In any way. This brought him to tho
lime of the Jameson raid, when he was a
member of the outlandcrs' reform commit
tee at Johannesburg. He told of the offer of
3)r. Jameson to come to tho aid of the re
formers, and Insisted that It had been made
jicrfcetly clear to Dr. Jameson that the sale
object of tho movement was the reform of
tho existing government, nnd not any change
in sovereignty. The Americans who Joined
In the movement were, he said, opposed al
most ton man to British mle.
Ilo described next tbe events following tho
raid, tho disarming 0f the reformers, tbe ar
rest of their leaders and their final ransom
for $123.00(1 each, telling many Incidents
which tendeil to show repealed acts of
treachery on tho part of President Kruger.
All this time, Mr. Hammond said, the
lloers were actively pursuing n scheme of
conspiracy for driving the Kngllsh from
Hoiith Afrlrn. They were buying guns, build
ing fortifications and hiring foreign olllcers.
He believes that President Kruger was wait
ing for a rupture between Kngland nnd some
tontlnentnl power as his chance for lighting
lor Independence.
No Opi-nlnc Ciinie,
"nut no such favorable opening presented
itself," ho continued, "and. In my Judgment,
tho recent Insulting ultimatum of the liner
government, followed hy Us Instant In
vasion of tho llrltlsb colonies of Natal and
the Cape, was forced upon President Kruger
fcy his Inability to control any longer tbe
widespread conspiracy he bad carefully built
up. Oreat bodies of Ignorant, ardent anil
confident people do not want to wait. And
tho hopo of a swift conquest of English ter
ritory before Kngland could prepare for Its
defense wns too great to bo resisted by thorr
who did not rightly estimate, either llrltlsb
valor or llrltlsb resources. President Kruger,
I think, knew better, but coulil not help him
self." The rest of Mr. Hammond's speech wns de
voted to a statement of Kngland's alms In
tho conflict nnd of the outlandcrs' grievances
against the lloers. He said:
"Today Kngland Is lighting, nniong other
things, for the rutnbllHlmicnt of the prin
ciple that there should bo no taxation with
out representation. She learned this lesson
from us In our war of Independence. In the
Kngllsh colonies of South Africa there l-s
absolute equality for both Dutch and Kng
llsh, both obtain the franchise on the same
terms. Tho language, of both raccn is used
in tho parliaments and In the courts of Jus
tice In the llritlsli colonies of South Africa.
ICnglnnd Is lighting among other c.iuscs for
the extension of this principle throughout
South Africa generally.
"Now, I will Btatc to you what are known
ns tho outlandcrs' grievances, and you can
then determine whether the reform move
ment of IS!)."i wns or was not justifiable.
"Tho franchise law in tho Transvaal Is that
the applicant must renounce In the first In-1
stance allegiance to all other countries, he '
Is then under probation for a period of four
teen years, during which time he Is liable
to be called upon by the state for military
duty. After tho expiration of fourteen years
he may secure citizenship, provided he ob
tains In writing n petition signed by two
thirds of the burghers In tbe dlstrct in which
he resides, nnd provided furthermore that
he receives tho sanction of tho president and
executive council.
"According to our Declaration of Inde
pendence 'government!! derive their just
power from the consent of the governed.'
"Two-thirds of the Transvaal population
wore outlandcrs. Wo jvent thither by ex
pre Invitation; our capital and enterprise
developed what In Doer hands was worthless
territory Into tho greatest mining center of
tho world; tho country, now rich, wns bank
rupt before our arrival; we owned more than
half the Innd, having purchased It from the
lloers; wo paid nine-tenths of the tnxes,
much of which amount was admitted by the
Doer commission to be class taxation, nnd
yet v," had to submit to unlawful expendi
ture of the bulk of taxation, ns wo hail no
voice In the government.
Wlnit The, Olijcetcil To.
"Wo objected to the supervision of the
high court of Jiutlce, In which rested our
only hopo of legal rednss. In direct con
travention of the grondwlt (the Hoer con
stitution!, the Volksraad empowered the
president and exectltlvo council to dismiss
any Judge without trial who disputed tho
validity of any law paeeod byhc Volksraad,
even when such law conlllctcd with the
grondwit. President Kruger exercised his
privilege In summarily dismissing n chief
jtiatleo who had for many years honestly
and ably lilled that olllce. Afterward all
tho Judges were simply the president's tools.
"Wo ubjected to the Jury system: we were
debarred rrom proper trial, an tho law makes
only burghers eliglblo for Jury duty. Court
recotdit in the Transvaal prove that a small
percentage of tho outlandcrs are convicted.
Nor was any lloer Jury ever known to con
vict n Doer who had murdered a native.
"We objected to the alien's expulslcn act
by which an outlandor can be put over the
border at tho will of the president without
the right of appeal to a court of Justice a
eouise epen to tho offending burgher. Th's
law was obviously opposed to the llrltlnh
Ilocr convention of lkSt. A similar law
pastvd In this country under John Adams'
administration wrecked the federal party.
Deiniimlcil I'rcc SihtoIi.
"Wo objected to tho piohlbltlon of free
speech, o tho power vested In the president
of suppressing any publication which In his
Individual cplulon waa opposed to good man
ners or subversive of order. He did not hesi
tate to exercise thin despotic power toward
nowspapcrs which supported outlander In
terests, while newKpapcrs which supported
the Hccr government were allowed to pub
lish libelous articles and oven to ndvocato
atrnclouu crimes without interference.
"Wo objected to tho Johannesburg police
force. For the shooting nnd killing of a
llrltlsh subject a policeman wan recently re
leased on $1,1100 ball, lers thnn the amount
demanded from outlanders In trivial cases.
"We objected to tho public meetings act,
which left dltcctIonary power In tlui
hnnds of Hoer policemen to suppress ns
Kcmhlagcu. "Wo objected to the" high death rato
prevalent In Johannesburg owing to the
li sanitation which the community wns pow
erless to pre.-ent under Hoer maladministra
tion. "We objected to being taxeU to maintain
schools In which Dutch was exclusively
tcught. A resolution Introduced In Iho
Volksraad that no Kngllsh should bo al
lowed to bo taught oven In private schools
was defeated by only one vote.
"Wo objetced to tho lloers being exclu
sively allowed to carry firearms.
l.ntvH Miule for thr Ilocrn.
"We objected to the maladministration
of lawn as to native labor, tho lloers lying
in wait to lob tho natives of their earnings
on their way from tho mines to their
homes.
"Wo objected to tho maladministration
of the liquor law. Tho main rcsson for tho
iustitllclcnt supply of labor wax that tho
natives were not In a tit state to work, a
quartor of them being constantly incapaci
tated through drunkenness nnd many of
the accidents oieurrlng In tho mines were
due to tho same cause.
"Even .more deplorablo results followed
tho misuse of liquor frequent outrage on
white women and children.
"Pinally, we objected to the prevalent
olllclal corruption and to the granting of
concessions giving monopolies for the Bale
of supplied Indispensable to the outlanders
With the concesslonalriii government oltl
clals woie generally associated In the great
prollt derived. In the grant of n recent
railway concession It was proved In court
that twenty-one out of tho twonty-flve mem
bers of tho Volkbraad had received bribes.
"I assure you that every statement that
I have made as to the question of griev
ances Is absolutely true and, further,
that there Is abundant nnd Incontrovertible
evidence available on this subject. In view
of these, facts It Is nothing lo3s than dis
ingenuous to affect n sympathy for a io
publlc. which, as you must admit, Is oim
In name only."

Order of United Workmen lodges of Omaha
Is spreading anil indications now delicto thni
In the near future some detinue nctlon will
be taken. This order Is strong in Omaha,
both In finance and Influence, nnd many of
tho leading members are urging the erection
of a temple. As an Instance of the range of
possibilities, those who nihocaic the build
ing proposition call attention to what the
lodge has done at Edgar. N'cb., n small but
enterprising town. There Is only one lodge
of this order In Kdgar and the membership
aggregates but 200, yet a hall has been
erected at n cost of $i?,000. The argument
strongly set forth Is that If Edgnr with ono
lodjo can build such a ball, why cannot
Omaha, with Its several lodges, build n
larger hall?

Omaha Knights of Pythias havo been .1
prominent factor In re-establishing tho ledge
nt Herman, which was disrupted by tbe
cyclone last summer. The Knights of
Pythias hall, together with all parapher
nalia, was blown nwny. and under such dis
couraging circumstances the work of re
organization wns rather slow. A few weeks
ago Omaha supplied n complete new equip
ment of paraphernalia and the resolute
Pythlans of Herman succeeded In securing n
new hall. Last Saturday night the reorgani
zation was celebrated. Nearly fifty Omaha
Pythlans went to Herman to participate In
the exercises and along the route several
others boarded tho special ear which the
Pythlans had chartered. "It takes more than
a cyclone to defeat a Pythian," remarked a
member of the order who was one of the
Junketers. ,

NEW' YORK, March 10. A correspondent
writing from Kiao Chou, tho Important
Chlneso port under German control, sajb:
"When (Jerman authority was llrbt es
tablished over this port It offered very
limited facilities for the quick dispatch and
repair of vessels seeking It. Hut no timo
was lost in determining whnt was needed to
nttrnct the shipping interest nnd enlisting
privato capital to meet tho ascertained
wants. A company was formed with a
licet of towbo.its nnd lion and wooden
barges, sufficient for any probable demands
for towing nnd llghtorlng service. This
company Is negotiating for the acquisition
of nn extensive pleco of ground next to
tho Tslng Tail bridge, on which' large ware
houses for tho storage of Imported goods
will bo erected. The bridge Itself will be
placed under the management of the tow nnd
lighter compnny, which will provide it with
tho requislto number of utonm cranes for
loading nnd discharging, and also connect
It by a railway with the warehouses. The
company has also leased a RPcond landing
place for cargoes, to that It can respond to
any likely requirements for years to come.
"In April the so-called 'small port" In tho
inner Klao Chou bay will bo ready for u.
It has a landing pier over 000 feet long with
a normnl depth of water from twenty to
twenty-two feet deep, no that not only
lightering vesels, but smaller Htcamichlps
can discharge directly upon It.
"In nbout two yenrs tho construction of
Iho 80-culUd 'great port' will be completed
so far an to afford a basin, furnishing pro
