BY EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Kaiser Declares That MilliOnaire's VIII
Shows wide Reach Of Mind and
a Vision Of the Future"

BERLIN, April This bequest shows
the wide reach Of Cecil Rhodes mind
and his vision or the future" -" said En-
peror William 10 Dr. Won Lucanus. the
chief OF his Majesty's civil cabinet. who
alluded to the will Of Mr. Rhodes during
an audience with the Emperor yesterday
morning.
It was then pointed out to his Majesty
that Mr. Rhodes. while leaving precise di-
rcctions as to the selection Of the bene-
fCiaries Of the Rhodes scholarships in
other countries. the selection Of the bene-
fciaries Of the fifteen scholarships set
aside for Germans had been left 70 the
discretion Of Emperor William.
The requests Of Mr.. Rhodes are regard
cd at court as constituting an enduring
impulse to good feeling between Ger
many, Great Britain. and the United
States. and the colonies OF these coun-
tries. and as giving more substance to
the vague grouping OF the TeutOnic pow
ers.
THE earth belongs to the vital living
people, and these should act as one when
inefficient powers check Advancement. is
another utterance attributed to the Ger
man Emperor when his Majesty was
speaking Of Prince Henry's trip and the
need Of a better understanding With the
United States
The inclusion OF Germany in Mr..
Rhodes aims as set forth in his will. has
brought cut some considerable expressions
concerning his imperial purposes from
even the AnglODhObe journals. although
most Of the commentators on his pur
poses hold him responsible for the Boe-
war
Why have not 7 such minister ?"
Emperor William is said to have ex-
claimed after an interview with Cecil
Rhodes in 1889. This remark is now
widely reproduced. and it enables the op-
position paragraphists to revile the pres
eut ministry.
