THE CAPE PARLIAMENT.
i By Telegraph.— Association.— (Received. October 4, 0.44 a.m.) Capetown, October 3. Thk 'Assembly debated the conduct of members of the Afrikander Bond during the war. Mr. Theron, the president of the Bond, eulogised Lord Kitcheners fairness, and declared that the Bond ' were determined to defend the flag, but claimed the use of the Dutch language on an equality with the French in Canada. Mr. Lang moved an amendment, with the object of extending the scope of the proposed inquiry to all Bondsmen, and summoning the Bond to express regret at the rebellion. In the course of his speech he contrasted the admirable conduct of the Boer generals before reaching Capetown with their attitude after contact with the politicians there, and added that nobody on the Bond side, excepting Mr. Theron and Mr. De Waal, had admitted that the rebellion was wrong. The amendment was negatived by 35 to 24. The Ministry voted against the Bond. • Mr. De Waal's motion for a select committee of inquiry was then carried without division.
