The South African Colossus
Seems to Be Winding
Up His Career.
LONDON MARK6T
Is Much Troubled and a Syndicate
Has Been Formed to Prevent
a General Crash.

LONDON, March H.-Reports from
South Africa indicating that Cecil
Rhodes is liable to die at any moment
have about upset London as much as
the news of the capture of Lord Me-
thuen a few days ago.
1t has been known for some time
tnae Rhodes was a pre,.y sick man,
but. his physician, the famous DR..
Jameson, who led the raid of the
Outlanders. few years ago, assured
his friends here that his life was in no
immeuiate danger.
Private dispatches from Jameson to-
day, however, as well as kilograms to
the relatives of Rhodes make 1t clear
that his chances of recovery are very
doubtful
While it is generally accepted here
that Rhodes had more to do with
bringing on the South African war
than any other individual in the en-
pire, the news of his anticipated death
has been shock to everyone. There
is not doubt that he has been the
bulwark of British interests In South
Africa. He has organized all the great
companies doing business in Cape
colony the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State. The district of Rhodesia
has heeen named in his honor, and IL
is owing to his influence that British
jurisdiction in South Africa has been
so much extended
Various estimates are made here OF
Rhodes wealth. One conservative au-
tnority says that his estate will value
at $50,000.0o0. Others put 1t at more
and some at much less.
Fearing general dlslocatlon OF
South African values in the Loadon
stock market in the event of the death
Of Rhodes. a syndicate of South Afri-
can magnates has been formed for the
purpose of taking over all his share
holdings This syndicate represents
millions and may be able to hold up
the market if Rhodes dies.
Rochfort Mcguire. an Irish nation
list. member OF Parliament, who is

ent in Cape Town wires his father-in-
law, Lord Peel. formerly speaker of
the House of Commons that Rhodes
cannot live. Lord Peel has made public
the dispatch and ii has created gen.
