RHODES ADMITS
HE CAVE MONEY
SuStainS Sensational Charges
Made in England.
LARGE SUM TO LIBERAL PARTY
CONDITION THAT EGYPT BE
NOT EVACUATED.

London, Oct 1.-THE Spectator to-
morrow will print letters from Cecil
Rhodes and the late Francis Schnad-
horst, who, from 1855 to 1892 was the
chief organizer and adviser of the lib
eral party, sustaining the sensational
allegations made some months ago that
Mr.. Rhodes, in 1891. gave $4,000 to the
liberal party on condition that MIR.
Gladstone would not bring about the
evacuation Of Egypt by the British
troops. Both Sir William Harcourt
and Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
(the liberal leaders, have publicly de-
ciared this to be false. In letter COW
ering this correspondence, Mr.. Rhodes
sums up as follows.
4 met Mr.. Schnadhorst in London
and he asked whether / was willing to
subscribe TO the party funds. l said 1
was prepared to do so provided the
policy was not to scuttle out of Egypt,
and that in the event Of home rule
bill being brought forward provision
should be made for the retention of the
Irish members at Westminster. 1 I'M
derstood from Mr.. Schnadhorst that he
would consult Mr.. Gladstone, which
quite satisfied me. as L looked upon
Mr.. Gladstone as the liberal party. Mr..
SchnadhOrst accepted the contribution
upon the conditions defined in the let
ter appended"
In this letter Mr.. Rhodes demanded
that his contribution be kept secret and
that the check be returned if the Irish
were not represented at Westminster.
But he added q postscript, saying:
Il am Mortified at Mr.. Morley's
speech on Egypt. IL you think your
party hopeless, kee~ the money, but
give ii to some charity. il would be
an awful thing to give my money TO
breaking uD the empire"
Check the Mad Step.
IN 1892 Mr.. Rhodes again wrote to
Mr.. Schnadhorst drawing attention 20

ing a scuttle out of Egypt, and eX-
would 90 his best to check the mad
step But" he said. If your respect

certainly call upon you to devote my
subscription to some public charity"
In Mr. SchnadhOrst's reply he says
Mr. Rhodes money had already been
spent as he believed il was given main
~ to help the home rule struggle. Mr..
Schnadhorst, however, assured Mr..
Rhodes that Mr. GIadstone's utterances
were only an expression of Iious opin-
ion. that Sir William Vernon Harcourt
was only annoyed at them. and that

under contract in the 440-foot level. and
from appearances after the accident
they recklessly attempted to open a
box of powder with a pick, resulting
in an explosion which killed four and
seriously wounded the fifth. Joe Ferat-

Moore, George Dusing and an Italian
called Louie were instantly killed. The
fifth man is at the hospital with a Sc

superintendent Macdonald came over
today to secure Judge Folsome to hold
an inquest. The accident is one of the
worst in the history of the mine, and
is clearly a case of carelessness among
the dead men.

that a dozen towns received more or

towns between Red Oak and Hamburg

At NilliSca several buildings were
