Cape Town, March 26.-Cecil Rhodes
died peacefully at $50 p. m. He slept
during the morning and again in the af-
tcrnoon, but his breathing became more
difficult and his strength perceptibly di-
minished until he passed away.
Mr.. Rhodes was conscious until 5:55 p.
m, when he muttered a few words and
sank quickly. The immediate cause of
his death was two successive attacks OF
heart failure.
Mr. Rhodes last words were the names
of his brother and some of the others
~)fesent which were meant to be good
byes. The only person who attended him
during his illness and who was not pres
ent at his deathbed was Dt. Stevenson;
all the Others his boys and personal ser
wants, were admitted at the last
The body will be taken to GTooteschuur,
the residence of the deceased near Cape
Town, on a special train tomorrow. There
it will probably lie in state for day or
two and the public will be admitted to
view the remains. 1t has not yet been
determined where he will be buried.
The features Of the dead man are placid,
and a death mask of them will be taken.

London Little Affected

London, March 26.-The news of Mir
Rhodes death reached London too late
TO excite comment either on the stock
exchange or in the afternoon newspapers
The bulletin announcing his demise
which was sent from Cape Town, at 6:35
p. m, reached the newspaper offices just
as the final editions We're going to press
Some of the half penny sheets soon
turr ed out posters announcing the event
but a number of last editions did not
contain even the bare announcement of
Rhodes death.
Throgmorton street was deserted when
the news arrived, so there was not even
a flutter in the curb market. The "tick-
ers" soon disseminated the news in the
clubs and hotels, where it formed the
main topic of conversation, but the event
had been so thoroughly discounted that
it can hardly be said to have created a
ripple of excitement

New York March 26-J. Pierpont Nor
gan gave evidence today before Special
Examiner Mabry in the suit of Peter
Power against the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company. He was questioned for
two hours and a half by George Alfred
Lamb, of counsel for Power and during
that time he answered questions rapidly
and without the slightest appearance of
reserve. Only once or twice when ques-
tions were asked concerning the relation
ship of J. p. Morgan & Company with
the firms customers did he decline to an
swer.
Before the hearing was opened Mr.. Nor
gan objected to the presence of num-
Der of photographers and they were di-
rected to leave the room.
During the examination Mr.. Morgan
leaned back heavily in his chair his left
hand thrust from time to time deeply in
his trousers pocket. He toyed with an
envelope impatiently, now knocking it
against his knee. now against the table
on which his right arm rested. His eyes

were being put to him, but the moment
he was ready TO answer they fixed them

price Of Northern Pacific did not go
above its real value while his firm was
buying it in May, 1901

that he had to stop to control himself

came to deliver the stock, but not when

At another point the witness was asked

only to be expected. The papers had
much in them about railroad interests

days we bought every railroad in the
United States" And Mr. Morgan laughed.
After his examination had been finished
Mr. Morgan was conducted through sew
eral Railways to Judge Wafiaces private
chambers whence he made his way out

to get away from a number of photog-
raphers who were waiting in one OF the
Railways to take the fnancier's picture as

POPE HAD AUTHORITY
Madison Postmaster Withdraws Indictment,
Holton's Opinion.
Especial to News and Observer)

Winston Salem, n. c., March 26.-It
was learned this afternoon that Post
master Lewis, of Madison, who had Mr..
D. X. Pope, prominent lawyer of Char
lottc. arrested in Roanoke, Va, on the
charge of swindling had withdrawn the
Indictment and the matter was amicably
adjusted. In response to kilograms from
Pope and Lewis, District Attorney Hol-
ton went to Madison this morning to i'll
vestigate the trouble. Mr.. Holton had
lao particulars when he left here, but he
was of the opinion that the Madison post
master had made a serious mistake in
having Pope arrested. as the latter was
authorized to solicit funds for campaign
purposes. Mr.. Holton said that all sub
scripJions were to be voluntary and Mr..
Pope was not limited to office holders.
The District Attorney did not think
Pope had done anything to be prosecut-
ed for.

Committee returning from the meeting in

today and consideration of the bill under
the five minute rule begun. During the
debate Mr.. Burleson, (Texas) renewed
the attack upon Secretary Hay on ac-
count of the allegations regarding the
Boer relief funds subscribed in Illinois.
Mr.. Hit (Illinois) replied briefly, saying
there had been no developments in the
matter, and that the Secretary had done
all that was possible. Several other brief
speeches were made, some in criticism
of different provisions of the bill.
At the beginning of the session the
House passed the Burleson resolution
calling upon the President for informa-
tion relative to the application of Gen
eral Miles to go to the Philippines.
Mr.. Burleson in his speech said Secre-
fary Hay had been charged with being an
.'Anglomaniac" who had used this gov
ernment to further the cause of Great
Britain in South Africa. He conuended
that Secretary Hays letter to Mr.. Hit
relative 10 the application on behalf of
Dr. Thomas was disingenuous and pro-
