Cecil Rhodes Hopeful for Future
American Citizens Grievance.
Cape Town, Oct. 1.-THE presidency
Of the congress of the South African
league was assumed by Cecil Rhodes
yesterday. In his address he at
tributed the war to "mugwumps," and
said that but for them Mr.. Kruger would
never have dared to send an ultimatum
to Great Britain.
He declared that now that "Krugersm
has vanished" Great Britain would es-
tablish a liberal government, which
would do everything possible to unite
the interests of South Africa with those
Of the empire" y" '''' :
Mr.. Rhodes also said there was no de-
sire to plaster Rhodesia ON Cape. Coli,
ony," intimating that it was ''likelier
to be the other way" But he thought
Rhodesia would be one Of the federated
states, with great opportunities for ex-
pansion in the direction of the Congo"
He then said: Nov thlt the battle
Is over, the disputes on the origin Of
the war ought to cease. The race ques-
ton must be subordinated. The league
should support three points-the su-
premacy Of the flag, equal rights, and
show the Dutch that there Is no feeling
against them. Having won what 1t Is
entitled to- the league ought to demon
strate that the interests of the races are
the same. There will be great hope for
the country"

FRAUD IN CHINESE ADMISSION
Charged That 100 Month are Being
Let in Illegally.

San Francisco, April 13.-The Call this
morning says that thousands of Chinese
are passing the barriers of the custom
house and not only are being landed. but
are being made native-born citizens OF
California leach with a vote and quail
fications to participate in the political
affairs of this city and state. 1t is
asserted that during the last thirty-four
months over 10000 Chinese have been
landed, and of these at least 100 a month
have been admitted on the ground that
they were born in this state which fact
being admitted entities them to the
rights of citizenship. Charges are made
that this influx of Orientals is only made
possible by fraudulent evasions of the
restriction act.
Collecor of the Port Jackson said:
1.-The articles in which it is stated that
there is looseness in the admission of
Chinese is/unfafr and untrue in every re-
spect The figures ignore the fact that
a great portion of those are simply re-
turning merchants and laborers. 1t will
be found that the number admitted for
the first time Is less than in former
years"

Mr. MaiStt Row Testifies TO What
Merriam Really said

Washington, April 14-Connor Malott
continued his testimony today before the
Occur D'Alene investigation. He said he
was present at a private meeting in
Wardner, called by business men with a
view to committing General Merriam to
a permanent establishment of partial
law in the Occur D'Alenes. General
Merriam stated at the meeting, how
ever, that he was unalterably opposed to
such permanent policy; that it would
amount to taking a section out of the
state and placing it under federal juris-
diction, and that the state should assume
fun control OF affairs at the earliest pos
sible moment. II was the witness I'M
derstandiug at the time that General
Merriam stated that congress should en-
act laws making membership of unions
a crime. He had so reported TO his pa
per- the Spokane Review, but subse-
quently General Merriam had pointed out
that his language had been misconstrued
1t was the witness understanding that
General Merriam stated that the organ
izauons of criminal character should be
reached by congress. It was General
Merriam's version of the statement the
witness said, that his objection was not
TO unions but to criminal acts which
they might resort to. No shorthand notes
of General Meriram's statement were
taken. but condensed quotation of his
remarks was made. The whole purpose
Of General Meriam's remarks. the wit
ness said, was against the alleged Grim
inal organizations which had operated
in the district, and not against labor
organizations in general a recess until

events. The debating contest was disap-
pointing as far as the decision of the
judges was concerned. No doubt a miss

cially when the judges gave Fairmount

the crowd was too large or the reception

OF Attractions for
Wichita Audiences

THE MINSTREL SHOW.

A fair-sized audience greeted the min
strel carnival at the Crawford theatre
last night. The curtain rose on a very
pretty setting and the first part was all
exceptionally good. The chorus as well
as the solos were well rendered The
audience seemed pleased with funny bu-
siness, and while the gags of a colored
troop are usually not as good as those
given by white minstrel company, the
Nashville Students got of a number ef
really clever and funny sayings. The
sketch, Man Wanted" by Ray Trusty
and Miss Taylor was well presented and
very funny. The Carter Brothers, aero
bats and contortionists, exhibited great
skill in their performance. Those who
were so fortunate as to see the show
were well satisfied. while the noon street
parade delighted the multitude.
