steadily improving. He is allowed to
take drives with his jailor. The prison.
ers are treated as first-class misdemean-
ants.
From personal interviews | ascertain
that all of the members of the executive
council are inclined to show the utmost
leniency to the prisoners. The DISPOSE
ton of the government, in fact. is said to
be satisfactory to all concerned.
The Daily News this morning says:
1t is questioned that President Kruger
has not exhausted his collection of in
teresting kilograms.
The Observer believes that unless Cecil
Rhodes disproves his connection with
the kilograms his removal from the privy
council will be demanded.

them. bore the entire cost of the Jane
son raid. the legal expenses of the Jane
son trial and the indemnity to the Trans
