South African Union Accomplished

South African Union is an accomplished fact. The legislatures of the Transvaal, Cape Colony, and Orange River Colony promptly confirmed the constitution in its amended form as adopted at the Bloemfontein Convention, and in Natal, where the greatest opposition was manifested and the question had to be referred to the referendum, the constitution has been adopted by popular vote of 11,121 to 3,701. The four colonies will therefore form a single nation with a strongly centralized government. The constitution will now be brought before the English Parliament for ratification.
