CECIL RHODES FORTUNE.
Bulk of 1t Left For the Promotion OF
His Plan Of Education.

London, March 29-The Daily Mail
says 1t is in position to assert that
the late Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of
his fortune. except some personal and
family requests. to tho promotion of
his vast imperial plan OF education
This project embraces every land
where the union jack flies. Its purpose
is the intellectual betterment of the
British race throughout the world,
and the fostering of the imperial SEN
timent
The Daily Mail adds that this idea
of better fitting younger Britain" to
cope successfully with rival nationali-
ties was long a dominant scheme with
Cecil Rhodes, but even his closest
friends little imagined the absorbing
hold it obtained upon him until this
was disclosed by the terms of his
will. The details OF this plan of educa-
ton will be made public in few

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
The Damage to Railroad and Other
Property Is Enormous.

Memphis, Tenn, March 31.-Ad.
vices from the flooded districts in Mis-
sissippi are that the waters are slowly
receding and it is believed that the
worst is over. the damage to rail
roads, farms and other property will
foot up an enormous sum. 1t is report
ed that many Negroes lost their lives
but the exact number can not be Civ
en- at present.
Meridian, in the eastern part of the
state, has had no railroad communica-
ton for several days. Railroad traf-
fic continues paralyzed in that sec
ton. Not one of the five railroads en-
tering the city have yet been able to
get trains through either north or
south. Mail. however, is being trans
ferred on the Alabama Great Southern
at Narkeeta creek. where the bridge
was swept away. Large forces are at
WoLk-6G all washouts and traffic may
be resumed north of Meridian Monday.
The damage south on the Northeast
ern. Mobile & Ohio, and Alabama &
Vicksburg is more disastrous than first
anticipated. and 1t is doubtful if traffic
will be resumed inside of eight and
possibly ten days. The railroad Off
Gals are having difficulty in securing
HoTkmen.
