MR.. STEAD'S ARRANGEMENT.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-Mr. William T.
Stead has addressed an open letter to the
speaker of the house of commons, Mr.
William Court Gully, asking him to bring
it to the notice of the house. The writer
says:
''The consequence of going to war with
a lie in our right hand is now manifest,
even to the dullest understanding The
responsibility for the lie, which Is now
working out its natural consequence in
South Africa, originally lay upon the col
onial secretary alone but by conspiracy
of falsehoods the royal commission of 1899
was hocussed into returning false re-
port, which, being adopted, involved par
Lament itself in the responsibility for a
fatal blunder."
Mr.. Stead then asserts that ''the war
was undertaken to conceal the truth and
to whitewash our colonial secretary" and
he appeals to the house to insist upon the
production of the correspondence between
the colonial office and Mr.. Hawkesley, So
licitor to the Chartered company, Sin or
der to ascertain the truth respecting the
Jameson raid and to purge the house of
this dishonor."

message via Modder river from Kimber-
ley, dated Jan. 26:

lions of the town, rather than the for
tifcations. Between midnight and 4 p.
m. yesterday. 145 shells were fired. They
seem to have been of Transvaal manu-,
facture, not bursting widely. One child
was killed aid four people were injured.
