JAMESON'S TRANSVhAL RAID.
PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY OF
THE INCIDENT.
Cecil Rhodes Reads a Statement
Which He Says Covers the
Whole Ground.

LONDON, Feb. 16-The committee
appointed by Parliament to inquire into
the Transvaal raid met to-day. Many
prominent persons We're present, in
Guiding the Prince of Wales.
Cecil Rhodes, when called, read a
long statement, which he said covered
the whole ground, and recited the
grievances of the foreigners against
the Transvaal Government.
After long efforts" the statement
continues the people, despairing
Of redress by constitutional means, re-
solved to seek by extra constitutional
means such a change of government
as would give them a majority of the
population, possessing more than half
Of the land, nine tenths of the wealth
and paying Observation-Disclosures of the
taxes, a due share in the adminiStra-
ton
L sympathiZed with them. and as
land owner was largely interested. As
citizen of Cape Colony l suffered un-
der the persistently unfrendly attitude
Of the fraLsvaal toward Cape Colony.
L assisted III the movement with purse
and influence. and acting within my
rights placed troops under Jameson's
orders on the border of the Transvaal,
prepared to act under certain circum
stances. l did not tell the Chartered
Company in London anything in re-
gard to the raid. DR.. Jameson went in
without my authority. All my actions
We're greatly influenced by my belief
that the policy of the present Trans
Vaal Government was to introduce the
influence Of another power Germany,
and thereby complicate the situation"
MIR. Rhodes manner druing his cross
eXanlina tion was very abugpt and de-
faint. He looked around the room as
he answered Sir William Vernon Har-
count and frequently began to ques-
ton the latter. Pressed by Sir Will
lam as to what right he had to send
troops to the Transvaal, Mr.. Rhodes re-
piled:
I have very probably done wrong;
but there is another movement now
which has much support, namely, the
incursion Of the Greeks. That's wrong,
too, no doubt?''
Sir William Vernon Harcourt ex-
anied Mr.. Rhodes at length The lat
ter refused to answer questions rela-
tive to the smuggling of arms into the
TIansvaal.
Asked why, if he was acting within
his rights in sending troops to the bor-
ders of the Transvaal, he had not in
formed Sir Hercules Robinson, the
Governor of Cape Colony of the fact,
Mr.. Rhodes asked:
DO You want an answer"
Yes" said the Liberal leader.
Well remarked Mr.. Rhodes, "I
think you must get that answer from
Robinson" daughter from Mr.. La
bouchere.)
The examination of Mr. Rhodes
lasted until the cOmnlattea adjourned,
and developed little that was new.
The committee will meet again on
Friday next.

HENNESSEY AND FLYNN.
They Will Box at the Theater Com.
iQue Tonight.

Those who saw Jim Flynn of Arizona
put Jimmy Morrisey out in a round and
half at the Theater Conique a few
weeks ago will doubtless be on hand to-
night when he boxes with Ed Hennes-
sey of New Jersey, for Flynn gave evil
dence OF being a rafting boxer.
Hennessey Is one Of the men who
trained Van Buskirk for his two fights
in this city, and is said TO be a clever
boxer and experienced ring general
The bout is scheduled for ten rounds,
and If Flynn puts up the cyclonic kind
of battle he did with Morrisey the bout
should be q "corker."

A PIONEER PARTY.
Sons and Daughters of Pioneers Give
1t to the Old BOYS.

Pioneer Hall was the scene last night
of a Pioneer party under the auspices
of the Sons and Daughters of Pioneers,
and it was demonstrated that the
younger generation know how to iIni-
rate the whole-souled jollity and enjoy
ment of their sires.
Those who were present all pitied
Those who were SO unfortunate as to be
unable to attend and certainly the alb
sentees missed a thoroughly enjoyable
occasion, whether during the excellent
programme rendered, the social dance
that followed on the generous banquet
that awaited the dancers after they had
indulged in the exercise for a while.
The hall was crowded and the exer-
cises commenced with an eloquent ad-
dress of welcome delivered by
the President of the Pioneers
Sons and Daughters, Miss Ella Nc
CIeary, in which she said, among other
things. that they intended to reproduce
the jolly times that the Pioneers 50 well
knew how to enjoy and carry out She
did not prove a false prophet, for the
whole affair was mirth and jollfty from
beginning to end. The musical pro-
gramme was excellently rendered and
each performer hdd 10 TeSPollu 10 all
encore.
Following was the programme: Gui-
tar solo Miss Belle Norton; vocal solo,
Miss Pau: recmataons, Miss Mae Con-
molly (fron THE Merchant of Venice'D;
vocal solo, Henry Tretchler.
The banquet hall presented beau
tiful picture, palms, ferns and flowers
adorned the walls. while at tine end of
the hall was a trellis OF smilax and
roses, behind which colored quartet
and mandolin club furnished music
while the guests discussed the edibles,
$50 plates being Laid.
And that table! Well, the daughters
had laid themselves out to show what
cooking they were capable of and it is
surmised that the ladies who will next
week give lessons III cooking at the
Pure Food Exhibit win really be the
Daughters of Pioneers in disguise. At
all events, they win find 1t no easy task
to surpass the viands that graced the
board last night. After the banquet
they enjoyed more dancing till late
hour and separated with a determina-
tion that it should not be the hast oc-
casion Of the kind.

as they cannot cross a Slough in that

Mr.. Curl said the Oak Park people
did not care about having the Louis
lana tract kept in their district.
Mrs. r. Silva, who lives near Whisky
Hill, and who had declined to sign the
original petition for new district, had
changed her mind and sent in a written
statement that she favored the propo-
sition.
w. H. Collins, one of the Capital Dis
trict School Trustees, spoke against the
division as asked for by the original
petition. Many of the petitioners, he
said, were persons who have no chill
dren to be sent to school. 1t would be
an injustice to Oak Park for the board
to cut them off from a reasonable
amount of territory.
Supervisor Morrison here moved that
the testimony be closed and the mat
ter be left with the board and the
County Superintendent. 1t was so or
dered
Mr.. Howard was then questioned fur
Their regarding his ideas ON the boun
dairy matter. Supervisor Morrison ask
ed him why the Oak Park District
could not be made nearly square and
include the Louisiana tract.
Mr.. Howard replied that it would af-
feet the school census.
Mr.. Morrison then moved that Capital
District be divided as advised by SUI
perintendent Howard, with a modifica-
ton that will include in the Oak Park
District the Gerber and Palmer tracts
and the small strip of the Louisianc
tract on the Oak Park side of the
Whisky Hill road. . ,--..-
Supervisor Curtis moved to amend so
as to include all of the Louisiana tract
in the new district.

THE SUPERVISORS.
They Put in the Forenoon Discuss
ing Advertising and Bridges.

There was not much business trans
acted at yesterday forenoons session of
the Board of Supervisors, but there was
considerable discussion over advertis-
ing and bridge building.
Last week the Record Union pub
lished the semi-annual report of the
financial transactions of the board for
the preceding six months, which the
District Attorney had advised that
body was required by law. The sub
ject came before the board by Super
visor Morrison saying that as Chair
man of the Printing Committee he de-
sired that an expert should measure up
the space and report what the cost
should be under the advertising sched-
ule. The demand for the advertising
had not yet been received
Then the members of the board spent
some minutes talking over the matter
of the publication of the Treasurer's
and Supervisors reports required by
law They regarded these publications
as unnecessary and expensive, but the
law required them.
After that several members each took
shy at Darby Laydon, the bridge
builder, who had constructed a trestle
over a low place on the upper Stock
ton road during the rainy weather.
Layton had the contract to do the
work, but Supervisors Morrison and
Jenkins couldn't understand why he
built the treStle at a time when the
water was 50 high that travellers could
not get near enough to climb upon it.
Layton explained that he had his
WOrkmen out at McConnelPs, on the
Costumes River, where he was prepar-
ing to build the steel bridge awarded
to him. and during his absence in San
Francisco they went ahead and put in
the treStle.
Supervisor Mclaughlin couldn't UNI
derstand why contracts for bridges
should be let in winter anyhow
LaydOn wanted an extension of time
for building the Costumes bridge, ow-
ing TO the high water, and the ma tier
was taken under advisement
Charles Studarus, who has the con-
tract for constructing the grade by
which vehicles are to reach the same
bridge, was granted an extension of
time because there is nothing but water
in that vicinity. and that doesn't make
a good embankment

Discussion of Measures to Perfect
It's Sanitation

The special committee of the Senate
appointed to investigate the sanitary
condition of the State Capitol met yes
terday in the Lieutenant Governor S
office
c. NJ. Phinney the deputy City En-
gineer appeared first and stated that
the cost of building a sewer through
the grounds at Thirteenth street would
be about 300, and that the city
would with that amount be able to
carry away all the drainage of the
grounds. Plans had been prepared and
estimates made that showed that the
cost to the State would not exceed
that amount, and that there was
sufficient fall to the main sewers to
accommodate all the water that might
accumulate
The committee took no action.
though Lieutenant Governor Jeter and
Senators Flint and Boyce, who con-
stituted the committee expressed
themselves in favor of the work Sec
rotary Of State Brown, who was pres
ent on behalf Of the Capitol Commits
sioners, urged the necessity of the
work.
George Peck appeared and submit
ted very elaborate system of plans
for the ventilation Of the Capitol and
asked that the committee approve his
plans and allow him to compete for the
work. He had made an estimate Of
the cost of the entire work, and a bill
is now before the Legislature to APP
propriate $4,000 to put the Capitol
building in proper sanitary condition
The plans are very exact and cover
every detail Of the building and show
just where and how pure air will be
supplied and foul air eliminated or dis
charged.
No action was taken by, the COM
mlttee and the matter was continued
until the next meeting, which will be at

RIGHT ON THE CHIN.
The City Gets Hard Punch From
the legislature.

Citizens who have the welfare and
reputation of the city at heart feel
deeply Inundated over the fact that
the members of the Legislature have
found 1t necessary to appropriate
money to procure for each house drink
ing water brought from the mountains.
Had the City Trustees carried out the
Will Of the people. as expressed at the
ballot box in 1893, this humiliation
would have been avoided. The city
would, in that case, have been long ago
suppiled with an abundance of the best
water in the State without one dollars
extra outlay Now the people have
only the same river water-which
strangers refuse to drink-and a big
bin for new pumping plant.
y city must have wonderful vitality
and recuperative powers to enable it to
hold up under such punishment
