MT. Burleson. of Texas. Vents Further
 Vituperative Remarks.
 Washington, March 26.-General de bate on the military appropriation bill was concluded to-day and consideration of the bill under the five minute rule began.
 During the debate MT Burleson of Texas renewed the attack on Secretary Hay on account of the allegations re- garding the Boer relief funds sub scribed in Illinois MT, Hit of Illinois replied briefly, saying there had been no developments in the matter and the secretary had done all that was possi- ole. 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 on the pres ident for information relative to the application of General Miles to go to the Philippines.
 Mr. Burleson of Texas on securing the floor reverted to the resolution passed by the house some time ago calling upon the secretary of state for information relative to the refusal of the state department to grant re- quest preferred some time ago in be- half of Rev. pr Hiram w. Thomas and wife, who desired to enter the Boer lines in South Africa for the purpose of dis tributing relief to on-combatants. In doing so he took occasion to renew his criticism of Secretary Hay who, he said had been charged with being An Anslo-maniac," who had used this gov ernment to further the cause of Great Britain in South Africa He contended that Secret ary Hays letter to MT. Hit relative to the application of Dr. Thomas was dsingenuous and produced certain papers and letters in support of his contention. He said it was not a passport for Dr. Thomas which was de- sired, but he good offices of the state to secure a permit to en- able pr. Thomas to get through the Boer lines. MT, Hays letter to MT EIitt he declared, was an evasion"
 He read a second letter written on March l. to secretary Hay by John O.

ESTIMATES OF RHODES.

London Papers Comment on His Life. London, March 27.-The estimates of the career of Cecil Rhodes and it's ef. feet on the history of the British em- pire are largely colored by the political views of the papers making them But the opinion is unanimous in the press here that in spite of the defects and limita tions of his forceful character, few men have more profoundly impress ed the imagination of their contempora- ries or played a larger part in the worlds affairs than Cecil Rhodes, and that the empire is poorer by his prema- ture death.
 With the expressions of admiration Tor ms great services are mingled kind ly worded regrets for the disastrous mistake made in the Jameson raid.
 The Standard says: There is a cer- tain largeness and magnanimity even in his failings. He remains and inn pressive and inspiring figure, and the real lover of his country, who sacrific- ed much to make England great and powerful
 The Daily Mail describes him as the successor of Lord Give and Warren Hastings and says: "The virulence with which he was hated abroad is the meas ure of his services to England.'
 The Daily Chronicle says: "rhere was nothing in the career of Cecil Rhodes to support the charge that he was a vulgar money grabber There was notli- ing small about him; even his blunders were colossal"
 The Daily News, which bitterly at tacks Mir. Rhodes on account of the Jameson raid, declaring that not even Randolph Churchill shattered a bril- liant career by more conspicuous act of folloy, also defends him from the charge of money grabbing.
 The Daily Telegraph says: "If Cecil Rhodes was guilty of a great bunder in 1895, he paid as dearly for it as his most bitter foe could wish. Now that he has passed beyond the reach of ma lightly or censure, only the magnificent services he rendered the empire he loved will be remembered.
 The newspapers devote much space to sketches of the career of MT. Rhodes. to "reminiscences of the man and the expressions of foreign opinion concern ing him
 Considerable curiosity is evinced as to the probable disposal of his property and interests. The general notion is that the bulk of his property will be be queathed, not to an individual, but to public interests in South Africa and that pr. Jameson VIII be designated tO so far as any one can succeed, to the charge of his Rodesian interests
 It is understood that MT. Rhodes wished to be buried at Matoppo Hills because this was the scene of his histo- ric conference with the Matabele chiefs
 In an editorial on Cecil Rhodes the Times says: With all his undeniable faults and the errors which marred his noblest work Cecil Rhodes stands an heroic figure around which the tradi- tions of imperial history will cling"
 London, March 27--A dispatch from Cape Town published this morning in the Daily Express says that pr. Jame son is authority for the statement that Cecil Rhodes left Grooteschuur, his res

Africa and probably never quite for
 gave Mir Chamberlain and Lord Milner
 for not consulting him or endeavoring
 to utilize the powerful financial -politl-
 cal machine which MT Rhodes un-
 doubtedly manipulated over the whole of South Africa. He grew more and
 more restless and irascibe as the end of his life drew near, and was never ,contented to stay long in one place. His closing days became an unceasingi purposeless quest of change of scene. During his recent trip to Egypt this was particularly noticeable.
 Financially, MT. Rhodes death is not likely to have any very far-reaching re- suits, as all his enterprises were sys- tematized so thoroughly as not to need the master mind which was so neces- sary to their inception. Owing to the great success of the De Beers mines, the British Chartered South Africa company and other great South African ventures. Mir. Rhodes fortune had been steadily accommodating. He lost money over the war. but what inroads that made must have been trifiing compared with the many millions he possessed. He never lost his open-handed, some what reckless emthods of handling money. Not long ago he walked into the office of one of his confidential sub ordinates and threw down a bundle of notes, bonds, etc, said Invest these for me, and went out without waiting to have them looked at Inspection re- vealed the fact that they amounted to more than million pounds sterling. How they were invested MT. Rhodes did not know or care, for that night he went off on one of his wandering tours and refused to allow himself to be bothered with the details of the invest ment of his million until he returned to England.

DoRscHT CONCERT.

First Concert of the Season Fine
Success-A Remarkable Child Yirtu-
Oso-Soloist.
The first Dorscht concert, of series
of four to be given this season, brought
to the Hyperion theater a very large
audience last evening. This is the
eighteenth concert season of the lodge
and the improvement the last few
years, under the able direction of
Frank Fichtl, has been quite remarka-
BILE.
Last evenings programme may not
have been as heavy as some in its his
tory but a better played one will be
hard to recall.
The opening number, an overture,
was effectively done. the exacting
themes for strings being noticeably
fine. Two numbers worthy of any pro-
gramme were an intermezzoz Diana)
by Luders and THE Busy Bee" by
Bendix. The former opens with char
acteristic pizzicato movement which is
followed most effectively by strong
melody for the cello. These two with
the Grieg selection for string orches-
ira showed much careful training and
were the best numbers for the band.
Nevin's Rosary" arranged for orches-
ira, was also choicely given.
Not little interest centered in the
soloist of the evening, Miss Hattie
Scholder of New York. She is a little
pianist, not yet in her teens but is
equipped with technique which would
do credit to any aspirant more than
twice her age. She played Liszt's
Hungarian Fantasia in a masterful
manner. Her tone is full and round
and her Judgment is most remarkable
The orchestra handled acceptably the
difficult intricacies of the accompant-
ment. An encore secured for her hear
ers familiar Chopin waltz, which she
gave with exquisite delicacy, For hel
second appearance the selection was
changed to LISTS Rhapsody No. z
Usually one List number on pro-
gramme is considered adequate but tht
little marvel played this with breadth
and abandonment which would GER
tainly do credit to a professional many
years her senior. Her coloring in this

demonstrated last evening, is capabl
of superb tonal effects in light AM

not act in a decided way and make their
lives count for all that they ought on
the right side. To be decided in respect
TO religion. personal and corporate, is a
primary duty with a man who respects
himself and would serve the commune
~. And indifference to what is really
best and most important in life keeps
men from giving religion her due. Half
hearted friends of religion, persons with
formal respect for the church are not
spiritual power in the world. They do
not get on themselves and they do not
set forward good causes. There are
many who know what is right and are
we'll disposed toward it. But they are
not active and decided and positive.
They are easy going, Indifferent, unir-
terested and until they are quickened
by a new purpose in life they will not
count on the right side. To some who
hear me l may say that the mountain
to be moved out of their way is indif-
ference and indecision. They need to
rouse themselves to action, to do as well
as they know how, to use life and power
we'll while there is time.
Now the most efficient help TO the re-
InOVal of mountains such as L am
speaking of; the distractions in your
way to what is best in life and char
acter is faith. To do anything we'll
man must believe strongly. The men
who have believed in the truth or JUS
tice Of their cause are the men who
have left their mark upon the world S
life. The men who have cast the
mountains, which have obstructed the
, worlds progress or their own, into the
sea have been men of strong faith and
courage, Therefore keep your faith in
God and righteousness and truth
strong. AS your faith weakens you will
grow weak. 1t is not what others do
for you that counts, but what you are
in yourself and mainly by faith. We
can all by more faith and courage do
much more than we are doing to build
up ourselves and to set forward great
causes in the world.
Z Bring this truth about the removal of
mountains to as practical an applica-
ton as possible. Ask yourself what are
D. the distractions and barriers and
hindrances in your way in life, what
things are holding you back from doing
AcCAA
with encouragement on these difficult
ties as if they barred your way. You
are not hopelessly hedged in. Faith and
courage will bring you help from above
and make all things possible for you
And there is in overcoming difficulties
and removing hindrances great spirit
ual exultation. Wherefore have faith
and say to these mountains, be We re-
moved and cast into the sea, and il
shall be done.

stated that Bishop Partridge, while or
visit to this city recently, said thai
he was very much surprised to learr
