Miscellaneous articles on the same page:

A pretty compliment has been paid to Mr. D. Rees, Mayor of East London, by the Harbour Board of that town, who resolved to christen the new dredger Kate in honour of Mrs. Rees.

At Durban the other day five sailors were sentenced to a week’s imprisonment for refusing to haul down the flags on the s.s. Inchanga, from Delagoa Bay to Durban. Their defence was that they had been twelve hours on duty in the hot sun and that the orders were unreasonable.

The Norman experienced very heavy weather when off East London recently. She lost an anchor and 40 fathoms of chain there, and had to put out to sea until the weather abated. Those on board of her state, however, that, in spite of the heavy sea running, the steamer was as steady as possible, and the passengers suffered but little discomfort.

At a meeting of the Mercantile Association, held lately in Johannesburg, the Secretary read a letter which had been sent to the authorities in Cape Town from the Association in pursuance of a resolution passed at the last meeting, asking that in the matter of loading and unloading their steamers, the Bucknall Line should be placed upon the same footing as the intermediate vessels of the Union and Castle lines.

The Bloemfontein Express states that President Steyn has worked eighteen hours a day ever since he was sworn in.

At the Fingo gathering at Ngamakwe the other day, the headman addressed Sir Gordon Sprigg, saying: “Thank you for your presence today. We are pleased to see you, although we find you much greyer today. The last time we saw you up here you were a young man.” Sir Gordon, however, replied: “This is the first time that I have been here.”

According to De Burger the rinderpest is communicable by an individual. Mr. Du Preez, of the district of Bloemfontein, went a distance of twenty miles to see some infected cattle. His own were at this time perfectly healthy. He assisted in shooting and in removing the rinderpest cattle, and stood to leeward of them. Eight days after his arrival at home his own cattle were infected.

The work of boring for petroleum in the Ceres district is proceeding apace. Mr. Oliver, the leading financial man in the business, says that American experts declare, taking America as a precedent, that petroleum should be struck at 1000 feet or thereabouts, and that the initial cost is an item of even greater consideration than the actual working expenses, which are comparatively insignificant. Mr. Oliver estimates such initial cost at £10,000.

Ons Volk naively asks: “Is it true that 30,000 Indian troops have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to South Africa at any time? Is it true that Imperial officers, passing as speculators, are at the moment traveling through the Transvaal, and preparing sketches at Lydenburg, Zoutpansberg, Wakkerstroom, Zeerust, Potchefstroom, and other border districts?” To this Het Dagblad replies: “One may indeed ask whether it is true that the editor of Ons Volk is subject to nightmare?”
