SOME NEW FACTS.
Cecil Rhodes Will Continues to Be
Principal Topic of Discussion in Lon
don-Nef Facts Brought to Light.

London. April 5.-The war in South
Africa, politics and every topic usually
Of interest is forgotten today In the abb
sorbing discussion of Cecil Rhodes will.
Regarding that extraordinary docu-
ment the Associated Press has ascer-
tanned some new facts. The total of
Rhodes fortune is likely to prove to be.
C 100000, or slightly under that
amount. The executors are Lord Rose
berry, Earl Grey Lord Milner, Alfred
Belt. DR.. Jameson, L. Mitchell and b.
A. Hawksley, to whom he bequeathed
the residue of his estate. They VIII.
divide about 6 100000 or s1,500,0OO
omong them. According to the terms OF
this legacy the amount is to be divided
during their lifetime, but as each lega-
tee dies his share goes to the common
fund, until the surviving legatee be-
comes it's sole owner. Hence, one of the
executors, the majority of whom are
already enormously wealthy. will one
day inherit what will then have proba-
bly, accumulate1 into nearly S2OOO00O
The executors have unusually full pow
ers and can construe and add to the will
:,s seems fit. Hence the omission of the
british Columbia, Nova Scotia and 9TH
er Canadian provinces from. the list OF
scholarships Is quite likely to be COR
rected and each province of Canada
may be put on the same footing as the
| American states. One of Rhodes most
| intimate associates said to the Asso-
ciated Press: HE drew up his will in
| the same spirit in which he approached
| ell great undertakings. In his most
important tasks he merely sketched the
outlines and left us to fill in the details.
His trustees are given plenary power.
| In the matter of scholarships Rhodes
saw the scheme was so vast that any
attempt to too rigidly lay down the
lines might result in harm; so, beyond
endeavoring to meet legal require
ments, he tried to leave the fulfillment
Of his plans to those with whom, dur
4 ing his lifetime, he had frequently dis
cussed them. In offering Americans
and Germans inducements to go to Ok
ford Rhodes had dual aim: First, put
ting the youth of England in intimate
/ touch with what he terms the two most
progressive nations of the world, so
| they might be broadened and spurred
to more strenuous efforts; secondly,
bringing the best specimens of Ameri-
cans and Germans on such terms with
the English people and customs that
they might become missionaries of
letter international understanding
When the trustees can meet and all
the preliminary details arc solved a re-
quest will be made to several promi-
rent Americans to form a committee in
the United States to act in conjunction
with the English body and assume a
certain responsibility for which the
executors are palpably unified both by
absence from the United States and ig-
/ norance of its customs.

Washington. April 5.-It is learned
that the Russian government has not
asked the assent of the United States
government to the convention 1t has
Just concluded with China regarding

government already has expressed its
objections to certain features of the

our government would not interpose
any objection to the ratification of the
existing document, even If its assent
were necessary.

cuLLoM's BILL MAY FAIL.
House Shows no Interest in Measure
for New Federal JUDGE.

IOT NOW UG0OT0t O0O8Ss
Washington. April 5.-There is little
prospect of the house passing the Gull
lom bill for an additional United States
circuit Judge in the Seventh district.
Senator Cullom introduced this bill at
the instance of Chicago lawyers, and
secured its passage by the senate. The
senator is anxious to have the bill be-
come law, and is said to have al
ready selected his candidate for judge.
The bill was referred to the judic-
tary committee in the house, and the
senator sought to impress members of
that committee with the Importance of
the bill this morning. The Illinois
members have shown no interest in the
bill, and Chairman Ray of the judic-
iary committee has not referred 1t to
sub committee for consideration. He
says that until the Illinois members
ask for the considerations of the bill he
can not presume to report it favorably
and the Illinois republican members
say they are not interested in the bill

CORRUPT OFFICIALS.
Grand Jury in Final Reports at st.

ST. Louis. April 5.-Most sensational
charges are mad, by the grand jury
which has been investigating bribery
and official corruption in the municipal
assembly, in it's final report today
The report declared the people OF the
city have but a vague conception of
the extent to which corruption and
venality have for the past ten years
existed among the officials and public
servants. 1t finds the true condition
of affairs almost too appalling for re-

came convinced that they should pe

unanimous for the bill. The only ques-
ton raised was whether or not the bill
does not cover private banking firms or

specifically cover the cases where

The senate yesterday turned itself
into a school of instruction in parlia-
mentary practice. All afternoon was
spent disposing of various notions on
the bill to create board of optometry
at a salary to examine those who want
to become opticians. Healey fought the
bill hard and earnestly and he came
very near winning. But before 1t was
thru the senators had taken sides on
the question, and while many of them
cared little for the bill they fought the
game to the end. The bill was finally
passed.
A good deal of question has arisen as
to the osteopathy bill, which was final
| ly passed yesterday afternoon. Gov
ernor Cummins received a telegram
from the officers of the Sioux Valley
Osteopathic Association asking him to
veto it, and one D. n. Gilmour came
down from Sheldon to fight it. After he
found the bill had not passed and II
was explained to him he expressed sat
isafction. 1t recognizes osteopaths as

MARY MACLANE AND A TIP.

Among the little foibles of the
remarkable young lady from Butte
is one which is told by former sec
retary of Edmund Clarence Sted-
man, who lunched with Mary Mac
Lane at a downtown restaurant re-
Gently After lunch was over Mary
MacLane said to her friend:
"Now, you just let me fix the tip
the way / want"
Then Mary signaled the waiter
and, producing a quarter, SAID
blandly:
"Waiter, I'll match you for the
tip"
With a look of establishment on
his face the waiter produced a quar-
ter and laid it down. Mary won.
Then, with the same calm air, she
continued:
'Now I'll match you for that
quarter"
Mechanically the astounded wait
er deposited his quarter. Again the
luck favored Mary, and she quietly
pocketed the coin.
"You see, my dear" said she to
her companion, eve really do things
better in Butte" New Y ork Times.

the and Lieutenant Hildebrandt, re-
Gently had a remarkable experience
in the heart of a thunderstorm.
They assembled from Tegel at 3
o'clock in the afternoon and, pass
ing through a mist, came suddenly
into a thundercloud. From a height
of $50 feet the balloon was shot a
mile upward, and then as suddenly
it dropped half a mile. They make
the curious statement that although
they did not see the lightning they
were deafened by the thunder, while
pelted with rain, hail and sleet. The
balloon leaped and plunged SO swift
ly that at times the car was on a
level with the gas bag and the tow
rope was above their heads. After
about half an hour of this experi-
ence the balloon fell from height
of 1920 feet, descending upon a
thick wood of beeches, branches OF
which broke the fall and saved the
lives of the Adventures.

Maximum Value of Land.

The maximum values of land in
the north Atlantic states were
reached in 1880, and the falling of
during the past decade has been
specially marked. In the south At
lantic and south central states farm
values reached a high mark in 1860.
The heavy drop of ten years later
reflects the havoc of civil war; Since
that time the trend of values in
these states has been upward. In
the west the values have rapidly adj
vanced. The only apparent excep-
ton is the last decade. But the low
er figures for 1900 are due to the
large amount of cheap land thrown
open to the public.-Mahin's Maya

Insurance Figures.

Few people have any idea of the
enormity of the insurance business
of the United States. 1t not only
exceeds that of any other country,
but is twice as great as that Of all
the rest of the world combined. At
the present time there is in the
United States about $12,00O,OO0,-
900 of life insurance in force, in
Guiding assessment business, says
Leslie's Weekly. This means over
$160 for every man, woman and
child in the country. or $500 for ev-
cry family. The annual risks writ
ten by the fire insurance companies
are estimated at $2O,OO0,000, which
is $3.50 per capita, or $3.50 per
family. Thus it will be seen that
every family in the country on an
average has insurance assets of over
$4,000.
