PRETORIA, South African Republic.
May 5.-The VolkSraad, (parllament Of
the Transvaal), was opened to-day by
President Kruger. Great and most un-
usual interest was taken in the pro-
ceedInEs In view of the recent dISclos-
ures made by the publication of the ci-
pher kilograms exchanged between Ce-
ell Rhodes. then premier Of Cape Col
ony, and others who took more or less
important parts In the Jameson raid In
the territory OF the Boer republic. The
town was crowded with Beers, many OF
whom had ridden hundreds Of miles In
order to be present here when the
Volksraad re-assembled as its present
session Is looked upon as being one OF
the most important In the history OF the
little republic, Numbers OF these
sturdy, lighting. farmers, came here
days ago In order 10 bring their In
fiuence TO bear upon members OF the ex-
ecutIve council In the hope Of bringing
about the mitigation, II not the entire
communication, of the sentences OF the
convicted leaders of the Johannesburg
reform committee.
But It Is useless TO deny that the
publication OF the series Of incrimlnat-
ing telegrams has put a decided damper
upon the efforts OF the Beers to lessen
the punishment Of the prisoners, but. 1t
Is said. much may depend upon the &C.
tlon OF the British government towards
Cecil Rhodes. Alfred Belt, the director
OF the British South Africa Company,
who took such an important part In
organizing the raid, and towards the
company itself. to say nothing OF the
punishment which may be meted out TO
DR.. Jameson and his immediate associ-
ates.

His beak was fifteen inches long
