IQ ENSURE KRUGER'S RETURN. His religious tenets are not obtrusive, and he has never been found out in any very bad financial transactions. As a general in the field he is cool and clever.and a thoroughly expert exponent of Boer fighting tactics, which are mainly of the “ sniping order. He has now gone to the Natal border, at Yolksrust; the next Boer commander, Cronje, of Doornkop fame, being on the Marico frontier, towards Mafeking. A man who in a quiet, unostentatious, but deadly effective way has done as much as anybody to engender bitter feelings between Boer and Uitlander is the present Chief Justice of the Transvaal, Judge Gregorowski. An Orange Free State man, ofßusso- Polish extraction, he was specially brought to Pretoria, inducted into the rites of full burghership, and elevated to the Bench, for the purpose of sentencing the sixty odd Re form prisoners after the Jameson raid. No Transvaal Judge—Kotze, Ameshoff, Morice, or Jorissen—could be trusted to be sufficiently severe, Draconian, Jeffreys-like. So they imported Gregorowski. Bight well he did his work. Not only were the sentences terribly drastic, but the method of the man in delivering the death sentences (after wards commuted), and his trickery in per mitting a pleading of guilty to certain counts of the indictment, made the final scene at the trial one of the most terribly affecting ever witnessed in a Court of Justice.
