SOUTH AFRICA.
The distant note Of alarm in Mr.. Cham
pertains speech on South African affairs
IN the House of Commons yesterday. has
aroused considerable uneasiness, which is
Ienected In the sharp drop in prices at the
STOCK Exchange to-day. The speech was
certainly an able one. and was as re.
markable for what It did not say as for
what II did. 1t had the effect of promptly
shencing the opposition among the sup
porters OF the government TO the ap-
pointment OF a committee OF inquiry. and
hothing can now prevent at least the form
OF an investigation. The speech contain
ed one significant phrase which has not
pleasant sound IN honest ears. ".The COM
mittee,' the speaker said, will know that
II mas to shield great national interests
and II will know how to subordinate per
sonal prejudices to those higher and pa
triotic considerations" This is different
from the function assigned to the commit
tee by the government last session. Then
1t was TO be the committees business 10
find out the truth of the whole, miserable
South African business. no matter what
Interests" national or otherwise, were
affected thereby.
The result of the debate, on the whole.
may be regarded as favorable to Mr..
Rhodes. The public record of the ff-
teen politicians who will compose the
Committee Of Enquiry justfies the as
sumption that whatever be the nature
of the evidence laid before il, IT GER
tainly will not report in favor of put
ting Mr.. Rhodes on trial for high trea-
son or any minor offence Mr.
Rhodes's present idea is to have him
self examined by the committee as
early as possible. and then to return to
South Africa, to resume his intrigues
against the Transvaal republic the
existence OF which is an impossible
barrier 10 the realization Of his amb-
tious schemes, leaving to his accom-
plices i'm high places in this country
the task Of blocking the committee by
n vast quantity of evidence. IL is
thought possible by this means to keep
the committee at work for two or three
sessions Of Parliament until, having
wearied every one of the subject, he Will
present the world with the accomplished
fact of a successful revolution in the
Transvaal
The programme seems impossible and
fantastic. but II is seriously entertained
by Rhodes and his accompices. A good
many people are still disposed to place
Joseph Chamberlain i'm the latter
category, while others prefer to believe
that he was merely the dupe of the |
millionaire flibusters. A few months |
will suffice TO show which theory is ac- |
curate If Ar. Chamberlain honestly |
desires 10 get at the truth, he will be no |
party TO delay, and the committee ought |
in that case to finish is labors this ses- |
sion.
RHODES AS COUNCILLOR.
Meanwhile. some curious Englishmen. |
who are not afflicted with the faint Of |
iingoism, continue to ask why Rhodes |
a member of the Queens |
Most Honorable Privy Council'? An !
anonymous writer to the Daily Chroni- |
Gle. who is currently reported to be no |
less a person than Lord Loeb, former |
" Governor Of Cape Colony and High |
in South Africa, peril
nently reminds the country that as a |
prvy councillor Rhodes swore TO lad
wise the Queen to the best Of his dis
cretion. to advise for the Queens honor. |
and the good of the public without par
tiality. to keep the Queens counsel Sc

strengthea the execution Of what shall
be resolved, TO withstand all persons |
who would attempt the contrary, to OBJ
serve. keep and do all that good and |
rue councillor ought to do to his sover-
eign."
BY Rhodess own admission, he Is
guilty of acts which constituted viola
ion of every one of these solemn obi
yations. There is no need TO put him on
rial. for he has confessed, and TO do
he man Justice he has made no hypo-
critical pretence of being sorry for any
hing except the failure of his conspiracy
Ii is evident, therefore, that President
Kruger has good cause for complaint
and ample ground for suspicion OF Eng

Rhodes is permitted to remain a privy
