Mr CHAMBERLAIN IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Telegraph Press Association. Coovright Capetown, January 5. Mr Chamberlain, in his farewell speech at Ladysmith, made a strong appeal, especially to the Dutch, for social as well as political unity. He warned some of the others, including a section of the newspapers, that he deprecated the idea that their grievances ought to affect any one's loyalty. The address presented at Volkraust referred to the difficulties of Lord Milner's task. Mr Chamberlain, in reply, said he was glad the difficulties had been recognised. He hoped to learn much from Lord Milner, and to place himself even in closer union with Lord Milner and Lord Milner's policy. He hoped that the new subjects would be their friends. They would find equality of opportunity, and in thfeir higher duties a wider scope for their efforts which would compensate them for the lesser sphere which they bad left behind them. Mr Chamberlain received an ovation at every station on the way to Pretoria.
