RHODES BURIAL PLACE.
Was Selected by Himself and Instruc-
tions About Memorial Were Given.

London March 2S.-In q dispatch
from Cape Town the correspondent
there of the Daily Mail says that Cecil
Rhodes, when he last visited Matoppe
hills, selected the spot where he de-
sired to be inferred and gave instruc
lions to an architect concerning the
memorial to be erected The place of
interment is beneath a natural cairn
of giant boulders, on a kopje adjoin-
ing that on which Major Wilson's little
force made its last stand. The memo
rial to be erected will be a prominent
feature of the striking landscape.
The date of interment is doubtful,
says the correspondent, owing to the
necessity of construction of a special
carriage road from Bulawayo. At pres
ent there is nothing more than bride
path. Work on this road has already
commenced, but it's completion will
require one month.
Continuing the correspondent says
that a death mask of the face has been
successfully taken. The features, which
We're distorted a result of his mall
ady, resumed their repOSeful dignity in
death. After the autopsy, which re-
Vealed an extensive aneurism of the
heart the remains were placed in a
coffin and conveyed at 4 o'clock this
morning to Grooteschuur The body
has since been placed in a shell. 1t
was found impossible to embalm it

The body will lie in the hall at

A PRAYER FOR PEACE.
Chief Feature of the Good Fri
day Celebration in London.

London. March Pa prayer for
peace was the only novel feature of
the observance of Good Friday in Great
Britain. The bishops of London, Ro-
chester and St. Adams issued special
appeals to their dioceses to unite in
prayer that both British and Beers be
granted the temper of peacema kers,
pointing out that similar prayers are
being offered i'll the Dutch churches of
Pretoria.
A Sunday atmosphere pervades here.
All business is suspended and the
churches and open air resorts in the
neighborhood of London are crowded.
No newspapers are published and every
one who could leave town till April l.
has departed. The government offices
are closed and the war office has an
nounced that even Lord Kitchener'si
dispatches will not be issued today or
Monday.

SUITS PAUL MORTON.
Presidents Intention to Enforce
Interstate Commerce Law.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 2S.-Paul
Morton, vice president of the Santa Fe
railroad company, said today:
1T has been published that President
Roosevelt intends to have the interstate
commerce law enforced in all of it's de-
tails, to the end that the act may be
either amended or repealed altogether.
In this intention the president has the
loyal support of every railroad man of
prominence. The law in its present
form should be wiped off the statute
books or so amended that it can be en-
forced. / am one of those who believe
in the interstate commerce law and am
convinced that some act of that descrip-
ton or character has come to stay. The
present law should be trimmed into
shape so that the railways of the eoun-
try may observe its provisions without
loss of business or other penalty.'

DIR. Harding Mistaken.

To the Editor of Topeka State Journal:
The following is an extract from an
article which appeared in your issue OF
last evening, under the heading, plan
New War; in which DIR. Eva Harding
and others are interviewed on the subject
of revoking the permits of druggists 80
sell liquor: THE idea originated from
a speech Judge McCabe made to CHIEF
Stahl, in which he said: There are only
two ways of settling the liquor ques-
ton. One is to induce the women OF
Topeka to withdraw their names from
the petitions. and the other, to employ
spoilers, which will eliminate in a law
suit =" Will you kindly allow me the
privilege of saying to the readers of the
State Journal that there is not the
least foundation whatever for the state
ment attributed to me in the above ex-
tract. Never in my life did l say to
Mr.. Stahl one word on the subject of
druggists permits, Withdrawing the
names of women from petitions therefor
or the employment of spoilers. 1 never
had, and do not have, any such views
or opinions as would be indicated by the
extract quoted. and never made any
such statement, or said anything which
has the least resemblance to such
statement, to any person whomsoever.

NIELS GRON'S MISSION.
He Came Over to Tell Congress What
Was Going On.

Washington, March 2S.-Following is
a staten tent made by Niels Gron, re-
garding the Christ mas statement:
when early in February last, the
contents of Walter Christmas secret re-
port to the Danish government relative
to the transfer of the Danish West In
dia islands to the United States became
public party comprising a large por-
ton of Denmark'S best and most inffu-
entail men and highest interests realiz-
ing that since Christmas had in the
furtherance of the pending treaty serv-
ed by direct authority, first, the secre-
tary of state of the United States and
afterward the Danish prime minister
Mr.. Horring, it would be impossible to
disassociate his efforts from the treaty
or the methods set forth in his report
from the official negotiations; and real
izing further if the present treaty was
consummated and permitted to take eff
feet, Denm ark would be obliged to stand
before the world having made use Of.
and the United States as having ac-
cepted such negotiations as said Christ
mas set forth and describes in the
above mentioned report, and since it
was thought that would place the peo-
pie of the two nations in an unfavor-
able and regrettable light 1 was re-
quested by the party referred to- to
journey with all speed from Copenhagen
to Washington and lay before the rep
resentatives of the people of the United
States the facts touching certain parts
of the negotiations in order that any
toward causing the taking effect of the
treaty in question might be done with a
full knowledge of the situation.
(Signed) "NIELS GRON.
.fWashington, March 81 1902"
1t is said that the answer of the state
department to the Richardson resolu
ton directing an investigation into the
charges made in connection with the
Danish West Indian treaty will dis
close the fact that according to the rec
ord the United States government has
refused to have anything to do with
any persons as a party to the treaty
who were not directly connected with
the Danish government. The depart
ment also placed on record it's deter
mination to pay no commission to any
person on account of the cession of the
islands
1t will be pointed out that our gov
eminent had no right to dictate to the
Danish government as to what it
should do in the matter of paying COM
missions.
AS it has been assumed in some
quarters that the failure of congress
to appropriate the $5.000,0O0 which was
to be the price paid for the islands
would in itself cause a failure of the
transfer of the territory, it may be said
that the construction of the treaty by
the state department is that directly
upon the exchange of notifications the
islands become the property of the
United States without waiting for the
payment of the money, and the failure
of congress to make the appropriation
would simply leave outstanding a debt
of honor against us.
