Judge Barker did not consider his decision as necessarily final, however; for later he referred the case to the Supreme Court of Petitions, where it will be heard at the next sitting, some time in November. A friendly adjustment may be made before that time by mutual agreement of the parties involved, though it is doubtful whether the commissioners will withdraw from their present position.

Professor Macvane believes that the Boers are utterly in the wrong, that they have broken every agreement with the British, and that they have tried to hold the majority under the control of the minority in a selfish and oppressive way. They have shown themselves an ignorant and corrupt oligarchy and all the evidence goes to prove that they were about to attack England at the first opportunity. The fact that should have weight with Americans is the oppressive and cruel apprenticeship, so-called, under which the blacks are held, forming a condition practically equalling that in America before...
