Schur, a beautiful country seat near Cape
Town. His sister Alice presided over
his home for him. He never married,
aud had the reputation of being a woman
hater. He is supposed to have been i'm
mensely wealthy, but he was always a
man who had little to say about his
wealth and his affairs and estimates Of
his fortune have varied widely.

premier in the Cape cabinet. His political
opinions favored self government
throughout the British empire until with
In very recent years, when financial am
bitinn swerved him back into imperial

monetary power We're combined in the
promotion of imperialism, but for time
on federal principles. He predicted new
political community to be called ''United
South Africa" of which he expected to
be president or king. In combination with
DIR. 'ainiason ile organized a reactionary
party in South Africa, whose purpose
was to absorb the wealth of the country
for the carpet baggers who preferred to
refuse citizenship in the local govern
mcli:s., which by the use of capital and
cunning they expected to merge abso-
lutely i'll the British empire. This design
culiEiiated in the difficulties which led
to the treaty of 1884 between the Trans
vaal Republic and the British govern
ment. of which Mr.. Gladstone was then
the head.
The treaty guaranteed the independ-
encc of the Transvaal on condition that
it should enter. into no treaty with any
other foreign power without the consent
of the government of Great Britain.
British patriots like John Morley, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and James
Bryce have repeatedly asked, but in vain,
for evidence that the obligation assumed
by the Transvaal had ever been vio-
lated.
The South African raid directed by Mr..
Rhodes and led by DIR. Jameson was only
the preliminary slSirmish opening up the
prolonged war whose end is not vet in
sight. Its object was to secure posses.
sion of the diamond mines by force and
depend upon diplomacy at London to
make the seizure political sovereignty.
