CECIL RHODES ENDS THE WAR.
He Has Induced the Matabsles to Lay Down
Their Arms.

The mission OF Hon. Cecil Rhodes TO the
Ma,abelcs is reported to be a pronounced
success. The natives have yielded and the
war is considered at an end. Cecil Rhodes
inspired the confidence Of the Matabele chiefs
by going among them unarmed.
The chiefs complained that ill-usage by the
native police provoked the rebellion, and
Rhodes promised them that reforms ia this
respect would be inaugurated at once. Earl
Gray, who was appointed TO administer the
affairs within the jurisdiction Of the British
South Africa Company, believes that the
surrender OF the natives was practically un-
conditional.
The war with the Matabele, which began
In South Africa early ia 1886. In many re-
spects resembled the early Indian wars In
America. Several hundred settlers in more
sparsely settled portions Of Matabeleland,
were murdered by the natives
Survivors In the country districts quickly
gathered In the larger towns. and lines OF de-
fense were thrown up, while the existing
fortihcations were ga'iisoned as strongly a.
possible. The natives were at first command
ed by son oi the late King Lobengula. To
the number of 20,00O, they gathered on the
hills around Buluwayo, the principal town.
To n considerable extent they were actuat-
ed by sort Of religious frenzy, but other
causes are said 60 have combined TO bring
about the trouble. Chief among these were
the wrong doings OF the native police and
the imposition by the South African Charter
Company OF hut tax on the AZ, 900 huts Of
the natives of Mutabeland This tax the ma
tiyes sternly resisted for months but the
Chartered Company insisted upon the reve-
nue. being collected and refused TO make any
exceptions.
1t was not until Cecil Rhodes, at this late
time TO some extent under u cloud because
Of his alleged t5nheifich with the raid into
the Transyaal Republic conducted DR.. jane
son, came to the fescGa khd HURLED from
Rhodesia with an armed force. that the back
bone OF the Matabele rebellion was broken.
Buluwayo itself was for a time threatened
with annihilation by the blacks, but owing to
the brave defense made by its citizens and
the timely advance OF the column headed by
Cecil Rhodes, the stats OF seige, which prac-
ticaly existed. was broken and the Matabele
were gradually forced back from the hills
surrounding the metropolis of Matabeleland
to their old resorts in the parts OF the coun-
try not occupied by Europeans.

TROLLEY ROAD DISASTER.
Forty Persons Hurt on q Maryland Elsc-
trio Line,

dispatch from Frederick, Nd, says:
Forty persons we're more or less injured by
the brakes OF a trolley car failing to work
last evening on the steep mountain incline
OF the Frederick and Middetown electric
railroad. The line was opened last Thurs
day and Sunday large number OF excur-
sionists from this city made the trip. The
car on which the accident occurred started
from Braddock Heights, at the top Of Catoc-
tin mountain, at o'clock. A score Of chill
dren were slightly hurt. All the injured will
recover except Anderson. The motorman
and conductor escaped injury.
There were over 100 people on the car, a
large number more than its capacity. The
conductor and motorman tried 20 keep
number OF men and boys on, but they crowd
ed the car, and the start was made down the
steep grade with the heavy load. The motor
man applied the brakes. Those in front
seemed to hold, but those on the rear wheels
yielded, and the speed Of the car rapidly in
creased For while the people did not
seem TO realize their peril, but the exhilara-
ton OF the descent down the mountainside
soon turned 10 terror as they realized that
the car was beyond the control OF the motor.

A threc-mile run was before them. just
before reaching n trestle over raylne so
feet deep the car gave lurch, the window

that the timbers would break. Over the
trestle the car flew at a terrific speed. The
women and children screamed; several tried
TO leap, TO what would have been instant
death. Others tainted, but the men
clinging TO the sides OF the flying car
held them back. The motorman tried to re-

news FROM THE DEPARTMENTS.
COTTON MILLS IN CHINA.
A New Cloud Hangs Over the Industrial
World

Consul General Jernigan reports to the
department OF state that the prospects OF q
new industry is now before the public at his
station, Shanghai. II il called the Shanghai
oil mill company, which proposes TO manu-
tacture oil from cotton seed. II Is the logi-
cal result OF the cotton mills at Shanghai,
and the consequent stimulus given to the
cultivation OF cotton In China.
Since 1890 there have been 4j new manu-
featuring plants established in Shanghai
They are all In successful operation, especi-
ally the cotton factories In which large capi-
tai Is invested.
The area suitable for cultivation OF cotton
In China IL almost as limitless as the supply
OF labor, and labor being very cheap, there
can be no doubt that China will soon be one
OF the great cotton producing countries OF
the world, and that this product, produced
and manufactured In China. will command
serious consideration In all calculations with
reference to the cotton market. Ii will not
be safe to discount the cotton OF China, be-
cause II now grades low, for II ia certain to
improve. At present II is estimated therc
are 5000. 900 tons Of cotton seed. equal to
10000, 900 gallons Of oil, now yearly lest
TO commerce, which would find ready
market.
The company proposes 10 start with capi-
tai of S250,000, Mexican dollars. One COM
pany has already ordered its machinery from
the United States.

SHIPPING RIGHTS.
Foreign Government Ask Privileges Of
American Vessels.

On the suggestion Of the government Of
Norway and Sweden the state department is
looking into treaty rights Of foreign nations
TO have their merchant ships enjoy certain
privileges which the American laws give to
American ships. The French government
also is interested In the question, and its
determination would apply to the extensive
merchant marine service OF Great Britain
and Germany with the United States.
The question has arisen In connection with
a comparatively minor law passed by the
last congress, which provides that small
packages imported TO the county by vessels
OF the United States should be expedited In
their shipment across the country by not
having 10 go into bonded warehouse at the
port OF arrival. II applies TO presents and
small personal packages sent from abroad
and not to the bulk OF merchandise.
Secretary Carlisle has proceeded TO exe-
cute the law although the intimation has
been made that he would suspend the law
because 1t was in conflict with treaty rights
Treasury officials take the ground. however,
that questions Of treaties are not for them to
decide, and that their only duty Is to enforce
the law as they find IT, They have received
letter from the state department calling at
tention to the desire OF the foreign govern
ments TO be included in the privileges OF the
law, to which tho treasury has replied that
the law gives no authority to extend the
privilege beyond ships Of the United States.
This leaves the question to be determined
by the state department, where the naviga-
tion and shipping provisions OF various
treaties with foreign countries are being
looked into.
