TRANSVAAL RAID.
Inquiry of the Parliamentary Com
mittee Resumed.

LONDON, March 5.-The inquiry of
the Parliamentary committee into the
Transvaal raid was resumed to-day, in
Westminster Hall, with the attendance
smaller than usual.
Colonel Cecil Rhodes continued his
evidence. He dwelt upon the relations
between Germany ond the Transvaal,
which he reiterated he believed indicat-
ed a natural attempt to make a treaty.
He added that there was no revolution
ary movement at Johannesburg until
every effort to secure necessary re-
forms had failed.
Mr.. Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies, elected further testi-
mony as to the harshness of the Trans
vaal law toward the Uitlanders.
Colonel Rhodes gave instances prior
to the movement of 1S95, when serious
conflicts were threatened in the Trans
vaal, adding that a similar outbreak
would recur If the Uitlanders 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 said de-
cidedly: What do you think"
Great laughter)
Further evidence showed that Col
onel Rhodes personally paid the fines
of the members of the Reform Commit
tee of Johannesburg, amounting to
$3.50, 600.
This completed the examination of
Colonel Rhodes.
Two Africander members of the Par
lament of Cape Colony testified that
the administration of Rhodes was op-
posed by the Imperial Government, and
it must break in the hands of the Brit
ish Chartered Company.
The inquiry was then adjourned un-
til next Tuesday.

SWEET WINE OUTPUT.
A Falling Off as Compared With the
Last Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6-The fig
ures for the sweet wine output of twen-
tynine of the principal sweet wine
growing counties of the State for the
past year have just been compiled, and
show a falling off as compared with last
year of nearly 40 per cent. Early frosts
the cause of the shortage and higher
prices for the crop are among the re-
suits. The output for 1896 was: An
selica, 404, ,45S4S gallons; sherry, l.
$50, ,17141: port, 1852, ,0SS. IS; muscat,
936, 1862 tokay, 4,915.12; a total of
i 24333 166.44.
The figures for this year are: An
gelica, pa, 1914 gallons; sherry, S64.-
3t302; port, /, 134, ,276.S4; muscat, 363.-
5040J; tokay, 974.34; a total of 2,S01,-
221 90.
In the manufacture of this wine 640,-
J4T.S tax gallons of brandy were used
to fortify it, AS the tax on brandy is
81 10 a gallon, but when used to fortify
sweet wines during the seven months
from August to April it is free of tax,
the Government practically contributed
500 600 to the sweet wine industry.

THE COUNCIL Of STATE

The Council of State met in the
Council Chamber at o'clock this af-
ternoon. President Dole presided.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
stated briefly the matter which the
Executive wished to bring before the
Council. 4 deficiency in funds had
arisen in the Health Department, &C.
casioned by the smallpox epidemic,
which broke cut among the 6S2 inn
migrants brought from Japan by the
Kinai Maru on April t9h.
The Board of Health had made re-
quest of the Executive for funds which
to defray the expenses of the quaran-
tine amounting in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The request had been care
fully considered in Executive Council
this morning. and it had been agreed
to recommend to the Council of State
that the appropriation be made.
Minister Cooper then read the letter
received by the Executive from the
Board of Health. as well as the reso-
luton adopted by the Executive Co'n-
ell favoring the appropriation.
President Smith of the Health De-
partment stated that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 had been made by the
| Legislature for the two years. Dur
! ing the sixteen months all but about
! $4,000 had been expended. There was
money to pay the deficiency, but au-
thSrity must be secured from the En-
ecutive Council.

| appropriation being made. He said
that it was not of sufficient import
ance to call the Council together. The
Government might have collected the
money while the ship was in port. A
bond of $4,000 had been taken, and
the boat allowed to go on. AS citi-
