ess; am resigned for a long illness — it is now inevitable; shall not be able to attend Parliament again this Session. I knew by the sound of his voice, when he called me in the middle of the night, that the pain had come; sometimes it left quite suddenly, and we looked at each other, I, pale with fear, lest it should return. In 1897, the attack recorded above did not last, as he had feared, but, in 1898, at Cauterets, in the Pyrenees, he was again taken ill. He writes in his Journal, August 15th:-- Felt the first severe symptoms of a recurring attack. Have had two attacks of fever, and now have steady pain since Sunday night, but rose to-day. August 17th, Luchon. On arriving, went to bed at once, for my pains threatened to become unbearable. September 11. Biarritz. All I know of Luchon is what I have gained during two short walks in the intervals of illness. On arriving here, I went straight to bed. October 1st.--Left Biarritz for Paris; have been in bed the whol
er, the first act of violence will not be committed by them, etc., etc. Colonel Saunderson, who was a fellow-guest, agreed with all I said. As we walked to the Grand Central Hotel, it was the Colonel's opinion that the Uitlanders were not of that stuff from which martyrs are made. I agree, but, even worms will turn. November 23rd, 1897. Took train for Pretoria. I had a letter of introduction to Mr. Marks, of Lewis & Marks, who took me to a kind of bachelor house he keeps. November 24th. Mr. Marks took me to President Kruger's house at 5.30 A. M. It is an unusually early time to visit, but the old man is an early riser, and is at his best in the morning. He was sitting on the stoep, with two old Members of the Rand, taking his coffee, before leaving on an electioneering journey. When Marks told him of my desire for an interview, he motioned my conductor to take me to the reception saloon, which opened out on the stoep. A grandson of Kruger's showed me a chair. It

All I know of Luchon is what I have gained during two short walks in the intervals of illness. On arriving here, I went straight to bed. October 1st.--Left Biarritz for Paris; have been in bed the whole time. October 10th.--Have been ill all the time in Paris; returned to London after the dreadful holidays. When we returned to London, I felt very near despair, th
res, and alarm investors, so that for their own ends they may make a grand coup! But both Jew and Christian now are of the same mind as to the hopelessness of their condition, unless Kruger can be made to conform to the terms of the Convention of 1884. Of course, it is possible that England may be roused to action sooner than expected, by some act of the Uitlanders. I believe that if the English people were to hear that the Uitlanders in their desperate state had resolved upon braving Krugeled about Kruger and his Boers. Gladstonianism, and that gushing, teary tone adopted by the sentimental Peace-at-any-price section of our nation, are solely responsible for the persecutions and insults to which our people have been subject, since 1884, in the Transvaal. If it should come to fighting, there will be much killing done, and this will be entirely due to sentimentalists at home. The self-interest of men, who would be self-seekers even under the heel of the tyrant, has also largel
