 of MT. Rhodes's political will and testament, 1t suffices to say that there stands in it's forefront the promotion of the unity of English-speaking races and although 1t is not laid down specifically in his will, in written statements, in which he has expressed his political ideas he has specifically set forth that the key to the practical solution of the question is to be found in d copy of the constitu- ton of the United States: What an awful thought it is.' he writes, that if even now we could arrange with the political members of the United States assembly and our House of Commons. the peace of the world would be secured for all eternity. We could hold a federal parliament. five years in Washington and five in London. The Americans have been taught the lesson of home rule and of the success of leaving the manage ment of the local pump to the parish beadle. He does not burden his house of commons with the responsibility of cleansing the parish drains. The present position of the English House is ridicul- ous. You might as well expect Napoleon to have found time to have personally counted his dirty linen before he sent 1t to the wash and to have recounted 1t upon it's return
 II have said enough, however, to show that MT. Rhodes's last political will and testament is as remarkable as the career as it remains a worthy monument. At least I venture to hope that the world will begin to appreciate the essential greatness of the great man whom It has just lost. w. T. Stead.
 MT. Rhodes divides s5O0,OOO bequested to Oriel College into several funds, indicating concisely how he wishes them to be ap- piled and adds this characteristic sem tence: And finally, as college authori- ties live secluded from the world and are so 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 re- ceive great help and assistance from such advice"
 Regarding the American scholarships Mir. Rhodes says:
 "Whereas, l desire to encourage and foster an appreciation of the advantages which implicitly believe will result from a union of the English-speaking peoples throughout the world and to encourage m the students from the United States who will benefit by these scholarships. an at tachment to the country from which they have sprung; but without, l hope, withdrawing them or their sympathies from the land of their adoption of birth. The will provides that the executors may, at their discretion, delay establish ing any territorial scholarships until such time as they may think fit. but 1t pro- vides also that the territorial scholar ships once established, shall not lapse into the admission of the territory to state- hood. Another provision is that no student SboIl he qualified or diS0uaiified for election to scholarship on account of race or religious opinion
 In a codici to his will, Cecil Rhodes settled the Delham Hall estate on his brother Colonel Francis William Rhodes. and his male heirs, with remainder to his brother. Ernst Frederick Rhodes. and the male of his heirs. In & clause re- ferring to this settlement, MT. Rhodes expressed his objection to the expectant heir developing into @ ''loafer." and says that the essence of proper life Is that every man should have definite occu- patton during a substantial period of his career. In the disposition of the Del ham Hall estate it is provided that the successor to the estate must have been ten years in business or in profession other than the army, or in the case of an infant heir. he must, at his majority. enter business and remain there for ten years, otherwise the entail will termin- ate.
 The will guards strictly against encum- bering the estate.
