By telegraph—Press AssociationCopyright. CAPETOWN, Jan. 9.

Mr Chamberlain, in his Pretoria banquet speech, said it was not intended to unduly increase taxation so as to hamper the prompt and reasonable development of the country. An overwhelmim- ease will be presented for a reasonable contribution from the Transvaal towards the cost of the war.

Tho audience was partly unsympathetic, and there were some interruptions. TIM HEALEY:S IDEA. PAY THE CASH.
