The TRANSVAAL RAID
Col. Rhodes continues to Testify Without
0ivIng Information

LONDON, March 5.-The inquiry of the
parliamentary committee into the Trans
vaal raid was resumed today in West
minister hall, with the attendance smaller
than usual. Colonel Cecil Rhodes con-
tinued his evidence.
He dwelt upon the relations between
Germany and the Transvaal which he
reiterated he believed indicated nat
ural attempt to make a treaty. He
added that there was no revolutionary
movement at Johannesburg, until every
effort to secure necessary reforms had
failed. Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies. elected further tes-
tlmony as to the harshness of the Trans
yaal law toward the Uitlanders.
Colonel Rhodes gave instances prior
to the movement of 1895, when serious
conflicts were threatened In the Trans
vaal, adding that a similar outbreak
would recur If the Uitlan6ers did not
get their rights.
Replying to a question as to whether
he thought the present government of
the Transvaal was dangerous to the
peace of South Africa. Colonel Rhodes
said dryly: What do you think k??'
Great laughter).
Further evidence showed that Colonel
Rhodes personally paid the fines Of the
members Of the reform committee of
Johannesburg, amounting TO $3.50, 900.
This completed the examination Of Col.
I.hodes.
Two Afrikander members Of the par
lament of Cape Colony testified that
the administration of Rhodes was op-
posed by the imperial government and

Chartered company.

the charges. Senator Dickinson sald
that the Examiners representatives
would appear only as witnesses; that
he did not propose that the Examiner
should conduct the case. Knight asked
that supposing the Examiner was not
in possession of the facts when the article
was written and could now furnish the
proof, would it not be permitted to do
SO?
Morehouse said IL the Examiner was
willing to admit that they had no facts
when the article was written, he was
willing TO forego the examination of the
Examiner representatives.
Knight would not admit this, and
Dickinson said that further argument
was unnecessary.
Editor Lawrence was recalled. He was
asked IL he had any other information
on the subject besides the dispatches
containing the story. He said that he
had, that 1t was in writing and refused
10 name the author Of the information
Morehouse asked the contents of the
writing. Witness declined to answer.
The committee ruled that he must ans
wer. Lawrence still refused.
Morehouse said that the Examiner had
made direct charge and that Lawrence
had communication or knowledge of
such that would throw light on it, that
he would ask If the communication had
any DedTlHS Oh tHe DTbSTy, ne WOulu
ask that the proper resolution be intro
duced tomorrow morning in the senate
that the witness be Imprisoned
McEnerney said that a witness had
rights which must be respected and the
senate could only go so far.
Morehouse said he would have the
pi oper resolution introduced to have
Lawrence cited and the questions he
had refused to answer put to him again
hpfnra the hQr nf fhe senate an6 in a
event of his refusal to send him to Jail
until he will answer.
Franklin Hichborn and c. H. Jessen,
of the Examiner. testified that they
knew nothing of the article charging
bribery.
Alfonso Murphy said that he could
net tell of his own knowledge who wrote
the article, but that he could guess who
the author was.
Levings was recalled and was asked If
he knew of any man who received money
for his vote. The witness answered that
he did not of his own knowledge. He
was asked il he knew of any kilograms
having been sent or received by any
senator. He declined to answer and the
refusal was taken under consideration.
Superintendent Jaynes was put on the
stand He said that he would furnish
any kilograms that would be designated
ard the same fight that was made in the
assembly was gone over. The claim was
made that the subpoena was insuffi-
cient. Mr.. Jaynes said that no one knew
OF the existence of any kilograms regard
ing bill 273 except the parties between
whom they passed. At least such should
be the case and If any employe had be-
trayed the secrets of the office he would
like to know it. 1t was decided that the
Examiners attorneys should prepare a
subpoena which would cover all the
papers in the possession of Jaynes.

tive session.
