EXAMINING CECIL RHODES.
Investigation of the Transvnnl Raid
Continued.

LONDON. February 19-The South Afr-
can inquiry committee. appointed by par
lament to investigate the Transyaal raid
resumed Its sessions today in Westminster
Hall. Keen interest was manifested in the
proceedings. The Prince of Wales occupied
the same seat as Tuesday. when the pro-
ceedinSs opened. being seated next to the
Earl Of Selborne.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt continued
the examination Of Col. Cecil Rhodes. the
former premier of Cane Colony.
The examination of Colonel Rhodes which
lasted all day. developed nothing new of
general interest. The witness frequently
repeated that he did not want to Shirk the
responsibility and that he acted solely in
the capacity of private citizen interested
in the welfare of South Africa.
He did net attempt to defend himself
from the charge of having applied the
sources of the chartered company in aid
of the revolution. and reiterated that he
had not communicated with the Duke of
Fife. the Duke of Abercorn or other MEM
bers of the chartered company in London
relative 10 the raid.
Col Rhodes showed considerable skill in
eVading direct answers TO awkward ques-
tens.
The committee finally adjourned until

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK. February la.-cabIe adyicas
relative TO the diplomatic complications in
vowed in the Cretean outbreak were con-
strued adversely in financial circles this
morning. London prices were fraciionally
ioWer on this account, and no new business
was reported at that center. The unfavor-
able disclosures made by witnesses in the
South African investigation had a ,lepress-
ing influence on the mining shares of that
district Moderate recovery from the ex-
treme low level was reported but th. best
OPINIONS We're unanimous I'm declaring the
political situation to be extremely critical
The local market disregaried these fac
tors TO some extent and was irreyularlv
steady under narrow trading The profes-
sional element made an attack on the coal
shares under cover of the general dullness.
and for time forced substantial conces-
sions. especially in New Jersey Central.
Investment buying OF Lake Shore up TO
1'S. making a new high level in the market
history of this property. and the declaIa-
lion of the regular quarterly dividend on
burlington were facts opposed TO depres-
sion.
The significance OF these developments
was realized during the early afternoon
and attracted a general demand from the
short interest. Prices were advanced he
yond opening figures. and, considering the
character Of the demand, We're well sup
ported.
The main situation. while Offering small
incentive to short saies contains little to
encoura age the hazarding of any consider
able sum in the opposite account Opt
mism is in the ascendancy, but has not
reached the aggressive point.
Earnings are encouraging, trade reports
are improving. and barring unforeseen diff
culties the predicted era OF prosperity
indicates that value will eventually be
added to majority of the best managed
corporations. 1t does not insure imme-
date profits to impetuous operators The
new administration will be a reality within
fortnight and prices may be relied upon
to reflect the public estimate of its emer-
gency contrivances.
The debate en- the new tariff bill Is relied
upon to make activity in the market with
out prejudice for either account. New In
centive Is essential to sustained Improve
ment. and IL is believed that the passage
of a revenue measure which does not belle
its name will supply the same. Commits
sion houses are consequently advising con-
servative purchases during the periodic
raids of the ROOM IL is to he remembered
however. the buying capacity has been re
duced considerably by reason of the
tfeme financial demands of the last series
of panics.
New clients are likely to succeed the old
and because of their inexperence will pro-
ceed slowly. Large orders are usually the
result of both capital and experience. the
lie acquired. When the demand does arise
the properties with the best dividend
records and those recently reorganlzed will
lie most conspicuous.
