day, that this decision had been reached
by him after attendance at the Sulli-

State statutes, but he was satisfied that

CECIL RHODES CAREER
And Its Effect on England as Measured
by London Press.

London, March 27.-The estimates of
the career of Cecil Rhodes and its eff
feet on the history of the British en-
pire are largely colored by the political
views of the papers making them. But
the opinion is unanimous in the press
here. that in spite of the defects and
tie limitations of his forceful charac-
ter, few men have more profoundly
impressed the imagination of their con-
temporaries or played larger part in
the worlds affairs than Cecil Rhodes.
and that the empire is poorer by his
premature death.
With the expressions Of admiration
of his great services are mingled kind
ly worded regrets for the disastrous
mistake made in the Jameson raid.
The Standard says: There was a
certain iargeness and magnanimity
even in his failings. He remains an
impressive and inspiring figure and the
real lover of his country, who sacri-
feed much to make England great and
powerful
The Daily Mail describes him as the
successor of Lord Give and Warren
Hastings and says: "The virulence with
which he was hated abroad is the
measure of his services to England"
The Daily Chronicle says: There
was nothing in the career of Cecil
Rhodes to support the charge that he
was vulgar money grabber. There
was nothing small about him; even his
blunders were colossal"
The Daily News, which bitterly at
tacks Mr.. Rhodes on account of the
Jameson raid, declaring that not even
Randolph Churchill shattered a more
brilliant career by a more conspicuous
act of folly, also defends him from the
charge of money grabbing.

have acted peculiarly. Monday, he was

RHODES is DEAD.
The Great Financier Passes
Away at Cape Town.
Close of One of Most Remarkable
Lives in British History.
Hated, Feared, Beloved, His Was a
Strange Life.

Cape Town, March 26.-Cecil Rhodes
died peacefully at 5.57 P. NJ. He slept
during the afternoon, but his breathing
became more difficult and his strength
perceptibly diminished until he passed
away.
Mr. Rhodes was conscious until 5.5i
p. NJ, when he muttered a few words
and sank quickly. The immediate
cause of his death was two successive
attacks of heart failure.
At his bedside We're DR.. Jameson, DIR
J. w. Smart, the commissioner of pub
lie works; Col. Elmhurst Rhodes, di-
rector of signalling of the South At
rican force. and Mr.. Walton, a men,
ber of the assembly of Port Elizabeth
Mr.. Rhodes last words were the
names of his brother and some of the
others present which were meant to be
good byes.
The only person who attended him
during his illness and who was not
present at his death bed was Dr.
Stevenson; all his boys and personal
servants were admitted at the last.
The government has decided to give
Cecil Rhodes a public funeral. His re-
mains will be brought here from
Grooteschuur for the burial service,
which will be held in the cathedral.
The body will then be taken back to
Grooteschuur and will eventually be
inferred at Matoppo Hills.
Since Mr.. Rhodes took to his bed
three weeks ago his friends had been
most anxious that he should recover
sufficiently to be taken back to Eng
land. The cottage where he died was
a simple seaside cabin, small and close
to the railroad. 1t was ill-fitted to be
sick chamber although the utmost
was done to improve the ventilation
and make it more comfortable Dr.
Stevenson slept by his patient every
night that he might be in readiness
to administer oxygen. which practically
kept MIR. Rhodes alive.
Last Sunday, he lost all interest in
every thing and since then he had
dozed the hours away. His rally from
the crisis of Tuesday left but the faint
est hopes for his ultimate recovery
These We're ultimately abandoned with
the renewed attack at noon, today.
The news of his death spread through
Cape Town between and O'Clock,

57TH CONGRESS.
Senate Keeps Pegging Away
at O|eomargarine Bill.
Burleson Continues His Attack Upon
Secretary Of State Hay
On Account of Allegations Regarding
Illinois Boer Fund.

Washington, March 26.-Throughout
today's session of the Senate, the oleo-
margarine bill was under discussion.
The debate was interesting at all times
and some of it's phases were amusing.
Hansbrough of North Dakota, con-
cluded his speech begun, yesterday, in
support of the measure, maintaining
that the oleomargarine industry had
been outlawed by the Legislatures OF
compelled by Congress to take off its
mask and place it's product on the mar
ket for what it really was.
Stewart, New, declared that the pro-
posed legislation was unnecessary and
that there was no more reason for tax
ing colored oleomargarine than for tax
ing colored butter.
The principal speech of the day was
delivered by Dolliver of Iowa. He
spoke forcefully and throughout COM
manded the interested attention of his
colleagues and of many members of the
House who had come to the Senate to
hear him. He scathingly denounced the
oleomargarine industry, declaring that
it had put itself in partnership with
lawlessness and false pretences. Dol
liver concluded his speech with a glow
ing eulogy of farm life and of the
American farmer.
HOar and Lodge of Massachusetts,
explained that their reason for sup
porting the bill was that it was a tax
on an evident fraud.
