THE MAKING OF RHODESIA.-Amid the maze
of biographies, character sketches, criticisms and
eulogies of Cecil Rhodes which continues to appear
here, there was letter published to-day which
throws new light the historic Lobengula treaty
by which Mr. Rhodes made Rhodesia- 1t is signed
"One Who Knows" and points out that Mr.
Rhodes Mr. Mcguire or Mr.. Rudd deserves no credit
for the famous concession, but that IL belongs to
+. r. Thompson, Member of Parliament for Nyn-
berg Cape Colony. known as "Matabele Thomp-
son" AS proof of the writer's assertion this char
acterstic letter Of Mr.. Rhodes TO Mr.. thompson
dated London, July, 1889 is adduced:
Dear Thompson: Stick to it. ] trust to you
alone. Upon you depends the whole thing Inc

"One Who Knows" adds:
Without Mr. Thompson's nineteen months Of

Buluwayo, there would have been no Rhodesia to-
day

estimates Mr. Rhodes's South African holdings at

RhOdesia draws a curious comparison between ule
agricultural possibilities of that country ana thoSe
of Iowa. The selection of Iowa Is due 10 the laCt
that Robert Benson. a director anu ledutn5 syn

Chartered Trust Company and is otherwise largely

omcial Statement by M. Delcasse.
the Foreign Minister.
Paris, March 26.-In the chamber OF
deputies NJ. Cochin 'Rightist question,
ed the government regarding the scope
Of the Franco-Russian agreement in
the far east, asking how far France
was bound thereby and whether her
obligations extended elsewhere in Asia
and Africa. The foreign minister, M.
Delcasse, replied:
I'm order that France shall take ac-
ton in the way foreseen in the last
paragraph of the agreement, the integ-
rity Of China must be impaired and
her development hindered in such d
manner as to create danger to Frances
owr interests. Hesitation on the part
Of great power under such circuln.
stances would be equivalent to abdi.
cation.
IN. Cochin sees particularly peril in
the north Of China, but the storm
might possibly burst . thu south. The
truth is that all the powers are equally
interested in China remaining indie
pendent and open to the free competi
ton Of the minds and capital Of the
entire world. We do not find in the
far east rival forces, but co-opera
ton Of forces toward the common aim
the maintenance of the status quo
and general peace"
M. Cochin expressed regret that NJ.
Delcasse was not more explicit on the
subject of French obligations under
the agreement. But the chamber was
satisfied with the minister's explana.
ton and proceeded with other bust.

ent not to announce the names of four
teen men selected to seek the aid of

London, March 27.-The war Office
announces that General Lord Kitch-
ener has cabled news Of the defeat of
the Boer force under General Delarey

him with. In this dispatch Kitchener
says
"A!l reports are now in. The total
number of prisoners is 1885,"
The British captured five guns, three
Is Founders and two pompoms.
The attack was made in revenge for
Delarey's recent singing defeat of the
British and his humiliating capture of
General Lord Methuen.
Delarey was taken by surprise at day
break on Monday by combined move
ment Of the British columns after they
had marched continuously for twenty
four hours and covered eighty miles.
Details of the Move.

dated March 25 and reads as follows:
AT dusk on the evening Of March %
a combined movement against Delarey
was undertaken by columns Of mount
ed troops only, without guns or i'm
pediments, starting from Commando
drift, on the Vaal, klerksdorp and
Vaalbank. on the Lichtensburg block
house line.
Travelling rapidly through the night,
the troops reached position on line
from Commando drift, through Swart-
bank and back to the Lichtenburg line.
"At dawn March "a the columns be-
gan moving rapidly to the east, keep
ing in a continuous line, with the OBJ
ject of driving the enemy against the
blockhouses or forcing action.
1.-The result is not vet fully known

ers, two ponpoms. nine prisoners. some
mules. carts and wagons. w. Kitchen
er captured eighty-nine prisoners, carts.
