§ SIR ELLIS ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether President Kruger has accepted the invitation to visit England; and whether he has made any concessions to the grievances of the Uitlanders?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, WNo, Sir; I have no information to give to the House.
§ SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETTDoes the right hon. Gentleman expect information at an early date? If so, I will put the Question down for a later day.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINAs soon as I get any definite information it will be communicated to the House at once. If my hon. Friend will take that as an assurance he need not trouble to put down a further Question. [Laughter.]
