LONDON. April 0,-The parliamentary
committee lnquIrlng Into tho Traasvaal
raid was again In session to-day. Among
those present were Lord Chelmsford,
Ban,n Loeb. formerly high commissioner
Of South Africa; Mr. Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary OF state for the colonies.
and Sir William Vernon HarcOurt the
Liberal leader In the house Of commons.
Sir William Harcourt cross-exainincd
Sir John Willoughby with the view Of
Cliciting his reasons Tor believing he had
imperial authority for the raid. The Wit
ness, however, declined 10 say anything
beyond admitting that he had had pri-
waite talks with nr. jameson on the sub
icct, the substance OF which he refused
10 divulge. This caused Sir William
HarcOurt to exclaim;
''Then must clear the room and settle
tlhls question once for all"
After the room had been cleared. the
committee entered into private discus
sion. An hour later the doors were re-
opened and the chairman informed Sir
John WlllOughhy that ne must answer
the questions, but that he need not re-
peat Or. Jameson's exact words.
Sir John WilllOuEhby however still de-
clined 10 answer the question:, alleging
public grounds as the reason for his re-
fuSll and declaring that he was prepared
to take the consequences OF doing 70.
The chairman again advised the witt
ness TO diVuige his reasons that he had
imperial authority for the raid, but Sir
John WIllonghby remained firm.
ThrOugh0ut the rather exciting scenes
the witness was agltated and deadly
pale, but he showed no sign OF yielding
either TO Sir William Harcourt's peTsun-
sion, nor TO the kindly. hut stern admoni-
tluns Of William J.. jackson, the chair
man OF the committee, which adjourned
until Friday next.
