morrow will print letters from Cevil
Rhodes and the late Francis Schnadhorst
(who from 1885 to 1892 was the chief or
ganizer and adviser of the Liberal party
sustaining the sensational allegations
made some months ago that Rhodes in
1891 gave $4,000 to the Liberal party on
condition that Gladstone would not bring
about the evacuation of Egypt by the
British troops. Both Sir William Vernon
Harcourt and Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman (the Liberal leaders, have pub
licly declared this 10 be false.
In letter covering this correspondence
Rhodes sums up as follows;
I met Mr. Schnadhorst in London and he
asked whether l was willing to subscribe 10
the party funds. 1 said 1 was prepared to DO
SO providing the policy was not to seuttle out
bill being brought forward provision should
be made for the retention of the Irish members
at Westminster understood from Mr.. Schnad-
horst that he would consult Mr.. Gladstone
which quite satisfied me as 1 looked upon Mr.
Gladstone as the Liberal party. Mr.. Schnad-
horst accepted the contribution upon the con-
ditions defined in the letter appended.
In this letter Rhodes demanded that his
contribution be kept secret and that the
check be returned if the Irish were not
represented al Westminster. But he added
postscript saying:
am Mortified at Mr.. Morleys speech on
Egypt. II you think your party hopeless keep
the money, but give it to some charity. 1t
the breaking up Of the empire.
In 1892 Rhodes again wrote to Schnad-
horst, drawing attention to a speech by
Gladstone toreshadowing a scuttle out of
Egypt, and expressing the hope thai
Schnadhorst would do his best to check
the mad step. But, he said, if your re-
spected leader remains obdurate 1 shall
certainly call upon you to devote my sub
scr1puon to some public charity"
IN ScnhadhorstS reply he says Rhodes

ever, assured Rhodes that Gladstone's ut

court was also annoyed at them, and that
no Scuttle out of Egypt was likely, as he
had seen Lord Rosebery, then slated for
own course, very different from the
