1900. ] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 157

RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Robinson submitted the following Resolution:

Resolved, That while feeling equal sorrow and regret
for the loss of life among the gallant burghers of South
Africa and the brave British soldiers, and condoling with
those who sit and weep in England and in the Transvaal
for the loss of their loved ones on the battlefield, it is
the sense of the General Assembly of Maryland, that
the cause of the burghers is as just as was the cause of
the American Colonies in 1776, and ought to succeed;
that they are entitled to their independence, and that in
their struggle against the tyranny of an arrogant coterie
now controlling the British Government, they have the
warmest sympathy of all lovers of liberty.

Which was read, and referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations.
