iaGoa Bay.

London, By Cable.-A special dis
patch from Capetown says there yras
an extraordinary scene in the assem-
piy Friday during the debate on the
registration of voters bill.
Cecil Rhodes, who hitherto has do
precated the possibility Of hostllit.es.
repeated the statement that several
members had accepted money for
eiectioneering purposes from the
1ransyaal government. with which
England is now on the verge of war
The statement created a great i'm
preston.
Later, speaking of the same bill, Mr..
Rhodes pointedly indicated that some
OF the members were practically guilty
OF treason, that they were "supporters
of ministerial party who lived en-
tirely on offal' and were nothing more
than political scavengers.'
He called on the premier to hold
these in check.
The departure of more officers for
the Cape and the denial of the Portu.
gese minister that Great Britain Is tc
take Delagoa bay were the only de.
yeiopments in the Transvaal sitution
The cabinet ministers have left
town. Their action Friday evoke:
| nothing noteworthy in the way OF IN,
ment. The expectation that thei1
meeting would be followed by border
outbreak has so far been unfulfillei
though news from johannesburg tell!
of unrest that is not assuring.
In spite of the Portuguese minister.

The most notable among the Officers
