THE BOER DELEGATES.
[BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Thursday. Canada has up to the present impressed the Boer delegates most favourably. They think Canada should do good trade with South Africa, and do not see why Australia and New Zealand should not also share. There is an opening for a big trade in timber and meat, and stock will also be required for some time. [lit TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.] One of the Boer delegates (Mr. 'Jooste), in an interview, said it was not to be wondered at if there were burghers whose hostile feelings to the conquerors would die hard. The tour of Mr. Chamberlain, however, would do a great deal of good. He was showing himself to be a straight and firm man, and his course of action in South Africa and his attitude would go a long way towards removing prejudices. Mr. Joo.>te believed that when things had /calmed down the Boers would be found to be good British subjects, and the late Republics good British colonies, as he thought they ought to be.
