Transvaal Concessions.

1 XTRAt'RDIN ARY REVEL VTION3.

A Blue-Book contftining (he report of the Transvaal Concessions Commission Was issued on June 10th, In their preliminary observations ihe Commis sioners suggest that, snbject to certain specified reservations, His Majesty's Government in dealing with the concas- Btons will probably be willing to sdopft the principle which in the caso of the trmeiation of Hanover by Prussia (the modern case moat nearly corresponding with that under consideration) was pro claimed by the conquerors in the follow ing ttrma:—'We will protest everyone in the pos.'-essioo and enjoyment of hia claty acquired rights.' The Oommis eioners are satisfied that under the Transvaal Constitution the legislative supremacy of the Volksraad was abso lute, and that there is no legal basis for the claim that the President and Execn*' tl?e had any legislative authority what ewr. they arc, therefore, of opinion that any grant was invalid in the Nouth African Bepnblic unless it was expressly or implicitly sanctioned by the Yolks " raad. The most important concession dealt with by the Commissioners is, of coarse, that of the Netherlands South African Railway Oonip«ny. The fact that that Company throughout the war acted «8 belligerents is established be ynnd donht by the letters and diaries of BO legs a person than M r Van Krets chmar, the Managing Director of the Company, resident ia the Transvaal. Mr Van Kretschmar, oa April 28th, writing from Pretoria, cent an extremely Interesting letter to Amsterdam. Y< ur remarks with regard to strict neutrality,' he writes, 'are not very refresting to me, especially as the chancrs have turned •gainst the Boers. If it should come to the worst «nd the English become musters here, I am afraid that we have HOPELESSLY COMPROMISED

©orselvea in deed, word, and warning. We have me.de cannons and amiuuni* lion, we have sold material to the Kepublic, we have blown up bridges on English territory, and have not dis charged our etaS on commando, and we have assisted the Orange Free State with advice, and, indeed, with persons and material, and there are in existence letters, telegrams, and living witnesses that we have strongly sup ported the Government in it 3 defence. I have everything covered as much as possible by orders, but I have never yet adopted the appearance that we object to the carrying out of them. Oo the contrary, there are proofs that we have been but tou willing to do every thing that is in the interests of the Republic ; how could it be otherwise.' Mr Van Krelschnar truly remarks thill he cottld well understand that 1 oar Hollander gang ia not beloved in "Xo&don/ Farther on he endeavoured to snow to ;m» employees that it was not bad from a business pvtnt of iriew for its officers to act as Ifiey did. *Is if; so certain/ he neks. ' that England will become absolutely mastev- h-ec® even if finally she wins the war?' Surely on this sub ject there is even donbt in Europe. Suppose the Republics keep their in dependence, wholly or partially, would then our Company's interests not have Veen better served by ouf attidnde during the war than by. a pretended neutrality which would* clearly have shown the necessity of expropriation,' Mr Van KrefcEcfetnar anyhow w»3 of j opinion that' England will bo wseo enough, not further to anncy the §harsh®Jcfepß on tho Continent by directly touching their pockets.' He wag ca dincUy touching their poc kets.* AH the statements rmde \y 'he Bfanaging Director were subsequently proved in evidei cc given b fore the Commission. It is not therefore sur prising that; the Comiuißsioners rfcom mend without, hesitation that the Ooo'ip&r.y's concession should be cm celled, and that the Company should be df-privrd of the possession and manage ment; of the railway, nor, in the opinion of the Commissioners, are the ordinary shareholders of the Company entitled by

INTERNATIONAL LAW to any compensation for (he loss of their property in tho railway.. With reference to representations made on behalf of ft large number of German, Austrian, and French shareholders, the Coi||t|ilßßioners remark that ifc is, of eoursp, open to his Majesty's Govern ment as an act of grace to show some consideration to shareholders who may be able hereafter to establish their Innocence. 'But, 'they add, *it ap-I pears to aa to be just that this consid- ! erafion should be postponed tili His Majesty's Government are satisfied that such shareholders have exhausted the remedies open to them, against their own Directors and'till the damage done by the w,ropgf<n! aeta of the Company rjasj.. keen made good. ' In regard to fehe dynamite concession, tho Commis sioners tell a new story of the frauds committed in connection with it-, the bribery of members of the Vo'ksraad and tho Executive, including Dr Leyd^ and arrive at the conclusion that no right or title giving the Company any cUim to consideration at the hands of His Majesty's Government can bp fowndtd on acta of the late Govern ment of the Transvaal and the H,ai d which wpfc induced by recent, and ex tensive bribery; They, therefore, m eoaimend that His Mr.j?aty's Govern ment should decline to recognise this concession

[ Losing your hair ? Do you bring out a combful each morning ? Has it lost its natural brightness ? Is it beginning to look faded and dead ? Do you like this condition of things ? . i Certainly not. Then stop this falling of the hair at once. Stop it before your hair Is thin, short, and lifeless. Make your hair beautiful, glossy, silky, abundant. Ayer's Hair Vigor Is a Hair Food. When your hair is well nourished it does not come out. 'Tis weak hair, Starved hair, that fallp. It's just so with thin hair, short hair, rough hair. Such hair needs feeding. This is why Ayer's Hair Vigor stops falling of the hair. If your hair is gray, and you don't care to look at thirty as if you wero sixty, then you should uso Ayer's llnic Vigor. It always restores color to gray hair, all the dark, rich, beautiful color it had when you were young. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Aver Co., Lowell, Mass.. U. S.

DEAR Sir, —For the last twelve months I have been completely fun down, suffering from Nervona Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition was such I was quite unable to gst about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Piantekoa. I procured a bottle, using ifc as directed, and the result was &s gratifying as it was astonishing. I became quite well again, and able to get about as usual. I have 1 much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours truly, Mks J. Row. P.S -I can also recommend Plantekoa as a good medicine for th 9 blood and streng'hening the system Kaiwarra, February 21sb l«01 Dear Sir,—Several months ago I had a very severe attack of irflnenz 1, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and ackles were much swollen, and very painful Several thinga I tried without effect. A friend advised me to grw Plantekca a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughlycnred, and I may say I have felt no return whatever. I Bhould like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal 1 ing j but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it Is the very best and pafeat remedy, and is one of those thing tno home is complete without. Yonrs sincerely, Mks Waineighu The Proprietor of Plantekoa Remedies receives fresh testimony every day from saferers who have been cared fey their use For chilblains and chapped hands use the mighty healer, Plantekoa Oint ment.
