tic Burial Place. LONDON, April 5.-The will of Cecil Rhodes provides for the establishment of colonial scholarships and two Amer ican scholarships to each of the present states and territories of the United States.
 The will of MT. Rhodes also provides for five scholarships for students of German birth at Oxford to be nominat- ed by Emperor William, and comment ing on the bequest, MT. Rhodes ill a codicil, telegraphed from South Africa, said:
 Tor a good understanding between England, Germany and i. the United States will secure the peace of the world, and educational relations form the strongest tie"
 All the Rhodes scholarships-Ame can, colonial and German-are at OK ] ford.
 | MT. Rhodes divides the f100,000 be- | queathed to Oriel college into several l funds, indicating concisely how he wishes them to be applied, and adds this characteristic sentence: 1 And finally, as college authorities l live secluded from the world and so are like children as to commercial mat ters, would advise them to consult my trustees regarding the investment of these various funds so far as they would receive great help and assist ance from such advice"
 Regarding the American scholar | ships Mir. Rhodes said:
 | sGX{yhorooS doSira fo onoo1Ira a nd foster an appreciation of the adyan- tages which, l implicitly believe, will result from a union of the English speaking peoples throughout the world and to encourage in the students from the United States who will benefit by l these scholarships an attachment to the country from which they have sprung, but without, I hope, withdraw ing them or their sylnpathies from the land of their adoption or birth"
 The will provides that the executors may at their discretion delay establish ing any territorial scholarships until such time as they may think it, but it provides also that the territorial schol- arships once established shall not lapse upon the admission of the territory to statehood.
 Another provision is that no student shall be qualified or disqualified for I election to scholarship on account of race or religious opinions.
 MT. Rhodes will is remarkable and lyoluminous document of more. than $500 words. Even this is not the en- tire will, as the executors gave out only the portions which they consider to be of public interest. It was executed in 1896. There is a codicil attached on the day of the deceased's last depar- ture from England, and another cabled from Cape Town leaves f4,000 yearly to keep up the spot in the Matoppo hills where his remains are to be buried.
 The will further directs that a rail- road extension be made into the Ma toppo hills, so that visitors may go
 there at the week end to inspect the
 majesty and glory of their surround
 ings.
 Mr. Rhodes explicitly says he is to be
 buried in an aperature cut in solid
 rock, surmounted by brass tablet
 bearing the words:
 Here lie the remains of Cecil John
 Rhodes"
 No one else is to be buried there who
 has not deserved well of his country.
 MT. Rhodes bequeaths all his landed property near Bulawayo and Sails
 bury, both in Matabeleland, to trustees
 whom he directs to cultivate the land for the instruction of the people of
 Rhodesia. His celebrated country
 place at Grootschuur, not far from Cape Town, MT. Rhodes leaves as q residence for the "prime minister o1 , the federal government of South Af l rica," with f1 ,000 yearly for its main tenance,
