REPORT or COMMISSION ON
TRANSvAAI RAID.
Charged with an s'Astonishing
u Breach or International Comfy.
Seriously Embarrassing Both I'm.
pcrial and Colonial Governments
Report on Transvaal Raid.
ELK POINT, S. D.

Report on Tr0nsvaat NalO.
The British parliamentary commission
inquiring into the Transvaal raid agreed
upon its report Tuesday. The report will
express the opinion that, whatever justifi-
cation there might have been for action on
the part Of the people of Johannesburg,
there was none whatever for Cecil Rhodes
conduct in Substituting, organizing and
stimulating armed instruction against the
government of the Transvaal.
Heavy responsibility. according to the
report, remains with Rhodes despite the
fact that at the last moment DR.. Jameson
invaded the Transvaal without Rhodes
direct sanction.
The gravity of Rhodes transaction is
weightily expressed by the committee,
which finds ''that he seriously embarrassed
both the imperial and colonial govern
ment; that his proceedings resulted in an
astounding breach of international comfy;
that he utilized his position and the great
Interests he controlled to assist and sup
port revolution and deceived the high COM
missioner, as well as concealed his view
from the members Of the colonial ministry
and the directors of the Chartered Com
pany."
The committee in conclusion uniteS to
condemn the raid, but at the same time ex-
presses the opinion that nothing will be
gained by proceeding with an extension of
the inquiry into the administration Of the
Chartered Company.

equally fond of pursuing the elusive but
somewhat heavy Welsh rabbit. This char

While the swell set of dogs on exhibition
may not wish TO associate with the per-
forming dogs. al! of them that can neglect
no opportunity to watch the performance,
and no doubt they secretly wish they were
trained to do such clever things. When
the gun is fired it causes not little ex-

hlblted on the part of some of the femi-
mines. Every dog which is not absolutely
