m LORD MILNER AT JOHANNESBURG. Pre*! Association—By Telegraph—Copyright * CAPE TOWN, May 19. (Received May 20, at 7.52 a.m.) Lord Milner, speaking at the Congress of Municipalities held in Johannesburg, urged the delegates to discuss the native question on the unassailable ground of civilisation, not color. Civilised natives were entitled to municipal rights. The question of political rights should be reserved for the Legislature, to be elected by whites. The influx of Asiatics outfit to be resisted for sound economic reasons, not those of color, but of civiliration and education. The black must not be deprived, he would not say of political rights; but of other privileges that the whites enjoyed.
