A BUSY SESSION
SOUTH AFRICAN POLITICS DISSATISFIED MEMBERS » (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) CAPETOWN, June 21. Parliament will conclude a three weeks’ session to-morrow, having been sitting morning, afternoon, and evening during the past fortnight. The Coalition has been put to a severe strain owing to the outspoken criticism irrespective of party, clearly indicating that the former divisions will not be renewed, though the life of the Coalition will be limited. Colonel Stallard led a revolt of members in the mining constituencies against a levy of £9,500,000 on mines. The rural members are dissatisfied with a vote of £4,000,000 to reduce the interest on farm bonds to 5 per cent. An attempt is being made in Natal to consolidate the dissatisfied elements in a new party to fight the Coalition at the impending Provincial Council elections, while the Cape Province continues to smart under the scant treatment accorded to it in allocating the portfolios in the Cabinet.
