VoIksraad Hears His Message-Jame-
son Still in Jail.
JOHANNES Jan IA
Thousand armed and mounted bur
ghers traversed the streets of this city
today, causing great excitement, and
1900 others are outside the city and
will ride through town tomorrow in
order to exhibit their fighting strength
to the miners and To crafty the men.
The VOlksraad met in Pretoria to-
day and authorized the government
to increase the State artillery force by
400 men, They also adopted a gov
eminent resolution thanking the Or
ange Free State for its sisterly assist
ance, and also Sir Hercules Robinson,
the Governor of Cape Colony, and Sir
Jacobus de Wet, the British Agent at
Pretoria, for their powerful support
which they had given to the Trans
vaal government and for their efforts
to prevent bloodshed.
A message was read to the Volks-
raad from President Kruger to the
effect that he intends to discuss with
the Rad, in later and calmer mo-
mente, the causes which led to the
dastardly plot against the State and
government He was firmly resolved,
the mess. &c said, to maintain the
sacred rights and interests of the
Republic and TO establish the same on
a firmer and securer foundation. The
brief sitting of the VoIksraad then
adjourned till May, as, owing to the
excited feeling among the burghers,
calm and dispassiOnate legislation i'll
connection with the recent events was
considered impossible.
DR.. Jameson and the officers of his
raiding expedition and political pris
oners, numbering sixty, are still in
the Jail here and are we'll cared for
pending the final decision between
Sir Hercules Robinson and the Trans
vaal government as to their fate.

SOMETHING OF THE ACTORS.
Short Sketch of Principal Figures in
TranSvaaI Affair.

TransvaaI Affair.
The position of Sir Hercules Robin
son as Governor of Cape Colony and
Imperial High Commissioner for Eng
land in South Africa is in the present
critical state of affairs q most delicate
one. With the resignation of Cecil
Rhodes a Premier of the Cape, who
was until the defeat of DR.. Jameson's
attempted invasion--of the Transvaal,
the virtual ruler of South African af-
fairs, Governor Robinson has become
the most prominent figure in that
much disturbed country.
Sir Hercules experience as diplo-
mat has been extensive. In 1881 he
went out to South Africa, which was
then embroiled in war, and for eight
years labored wisely and effectively.
He presided over the Royal Commits
sion which drew up the first Transvaal
Convention, and the subsequent con-
vention of 1884 owed much to his mi
tiative, His present appointment was
bestowed upon him last year on the
expiration of Sir Henry Loch's term.

Vacuoline Engine Oil.

Many of our patrons have wanted
an oil at moderate price for all uses,
except cylinder fabrication, of heavy
body and great endurance, which
could be depended upon absolutely
anywhere and everywhere. We can
not speak too highly in its praise. 1t
is one of the most remarkable oils ever
manufactured. For all places where
an oil must do great deal of work on
a small quantity, we can guarantee
this oil against any other article. If
you had hard working machine, OF
a bearing that gives you trouble, try
this oil. You cannot find Its counter
part anywhere. It is rich wine color.
The best substitute for lard oil ever
produced.

and bad furnished him with men and
ammunition. Certainly, if he did not
furnish material, he gave moral aid,
as II wouiu nave been fooIhardy for
the English miners and adve nturers
in the Irgnsvaal TO engage in con-
fiict with the Beers without some
promise Of support from Rhodes.
Many EogIiehmen are inclined TO
doubt Rhodes loyalty. Rhodes has
made his immense fortune of $50, O00,
900 within fifteen years by shrewd
locations of diamond bearing prop
erty and by organizing all the dia-
mOnd mines Of South Africa into
great syndicate. Recently he has
taken up gold mining on colossal
scale, and from the mines of the Wit
watersraDd and other districts he is
said to draw revenue OF $1,000, 900
year.

Cecil Rhodes, Career.

Cecil Rhodes, the Premier of Cape
Colony, the moving spirit in all
South African development and the
richest man in that continent, is re-
garded in England as the prime factor
in the movement against the Beers of
the Transvaal which has resulted so
disastrously to the British forces.
Jameson is a strong friend and adj
mirer of Rhodes, and, from the tenor
of cable dispatches, it looks as though
the Premier had coached Jameson

though the ties will never be rated

IN that time there has not been enough

say the oil business has an influence
