PRINCE AND BKCHUANAS,
CAl’ltfOWN, June 24.—'"Thou child of the Great Cloud, Who dwells beyond the sea," began 'Sekgoma, chief of the Bechuanaa, who was dressed' in a blue uniform, ’with gold facings, when addressing the Prince at Serowe. Ihe setting was a blaze of color,the principal native regiments being arrayed in new uniforms. _ The address, bound in leopard skin, prayed that the protection and guidance of Mis Majesty might be continued "so that our ‘national life and country mnv he preserved to us. The Prince, replying, paid a tribute to Khama as one of the greatest chiefs known in the history of South Africa. }|e was glad, the Prince continued, that Sekgoma had followed Khama’u example and prohibited the use of beer. The Prince gave Sekgoma a gold wristlet jvntch, and to his wife, a silk Paisley shawl. J,ater, he unveiled a memorial to Khama., which was swathed in the Union Jack. It stands on top of a rocky summit, commanding a wonderful view of the surrounding country. At night the Prince attended at one of the many huge bonfires, and played a banjulele. *
