THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.
None of the Recipients VIII Attend
Oxford Before Year After Next.

LONDON. Aug. 16.-It is likely to be 1904
before any of the scholars who receive APP
pointments under the terms of the will of
the late Cecil Rhodes will arrive at Oxford
University. The executors OF the will find
so many intricate details to be arranged
that there is little hope of getting the curl

will make a tour of the British colonies
to ascertain the views of the local authori-
ties and report thereon. The executors
will then draw up regulations governing
the eligibility of candidates for SCHOLARSHIPS
and with regard to other matters involved
in the bequest. So many complicated uues-
tions have been submitted for decision TO
the executors by governors and colonial
premiers that they feel ii would be unwise
to expedite matters without a thorough
knowledge of the opinions OF all the various
shades of thought and nationality embraced
in Mr.. Rhodes scheme.

Former BOer Delegate

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Generals Botha, De
Wet and Delary arrived at Southampton
this morning and met with a great recep-
ton. both from government officials and
the public. The Boer generals looked re-
markedly we'll and evidently were much
pleased at the heartiness of the welcome
accorded them. Soon after landing they
boarded the steamship Nigeria. where
Joseph Chamberlain the colonial secretary,
Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener
greeted them. They were also introduced
to Mrs. Chamberlain and Lady Roberts,
with whom they chatted for some time.
Official arrangements had been made to
permit the generals to witness the naval

to London in order TO reach Holland as
speedily as possible. The generals go to
Holland to pay their last respects TO the

statement that he and his companions will

cheered in the streets. Asked why they had
declined the governments invitation to wit
mes the naval review, the visitors remarked
that they were too tired after the long
war and needed a rest"
The scene at the railroad station on the
arrival Of the Beers was remarkable. An
enormous crowd of people gave them a
welcome as hearty as given to Lord Rob
erts and Lord Kitchener when they arrived
here from South Africa. Shouts of Good
old De Wet" "Our friends, the enemy"
and Brave soldiers ALL" were frequently
heard amidst salvos of cheers. General De
Wet was fairly cornered by a mob and had
to be rescued by the police, who by sheer
force cleared a line of retreat for him.
General De Vets secretary stated to-
night that the Boer generals had accepted
an invitation TO visit King Edward at
Cowes tomorrow. Afterwards, he said. the
generals expected to give out a statement
of their views and plans. The main object
of their tour is the collection of a fund for
the families of Beers who died in behalf
of their country. He added that a circular
would be drafted clearly stating the Boer
case to the British public.

LEGATION Of a number of tentative schemes,
official and otherwise. has not resulted thus
far in any rush Of emigrants. In fact, the
United States embassy seems to nave sup
piled the Foreign Office with a large pro-
portion of the applicants for South African
passes, MANI Americans having registered
applications during the past week. None,
however, could properly be classed as emf
grants. The pro-Boers are quite gleeful
at the apparent fulfllment of their
prophecies that the wages of the whites
would be lower under the British than un-
der the Boer regime. The always acute
problem of working the mines is now more
difficult than ever. 1t is said that the sup
ply of workmen is 10000 short Of the de-

strongly disinclined TO settle down to steady
work after the comparatively large pay and
easy life of army employment. The lack or
agriculturists is equally marked.

American Prosperity.

LONDON, Aug. ia lengthy interview
with former Congressman Jefferson Levy.
of New York, is published to-day. In it
Mr.. Levy dwells upon prosperity in the
United States. which he says is assured
for years by the enormous crops now un-
der cultivation. He says the uncertainty
expressed by some nancia writer's re-
garding the -permanence Of general pros
perity, the financial situation and the in
creasing value OF securities is entirely un-
called for. and that European financiers
pay too much attention 10 the New York
weekly bank returns. which do not fairly
represent bank reserves. The shipping
combine headed by j. z. Morgan. he con-
sidered, will prove beneficial alike to the
commerce of Great Britain and the United
States, so fears of an adverse effect upon
British trade and interests are unneces-
sary."

new FIELD GUN FOR ARMY
UNITED STATES ACQUIRES RIGHT TO
USE A GERMAN INVENTION.
Captain Borup Making an Lnvestiga-
ton Mt Dusseldorf of N Gun That
Is Better than Any Now In Use.

BERLIN. Aug. 16.-The United States
War Department has bought of Herr Ehr-
hardt, a gunmaker of Dusseldorf. the right
TO rearm the American field artillery with
Herr Ehrhardt's new piece. Capt. Heny
d. Borup. Of the United States ordnance
department, is now at Dusseldorf on this
business, probably 10 learn thoroughly how
the gun is constructed. Besides his large
works at Dusseldorf. Herr Ehrhardt has a
branch at Eisenach. He sold to the Brit
ish government several hundred pieces
after experience in South Africa had DEM
onstrated the inferiority of the British ar
tillery.
The gun which the United States has ac-
quired the right to use is understood 10 be
an improvement on the model supplied TO
Great Britain, being lighter and of longer
range. The United States ordnance officers
have long complained that their field gun
was less effective than the French and
German guns The United States ordnance
department learned some time ago that the
Krupps had a new light model and they
were invited to exhibit the piece TO United
States ordnance experts, but the Krupps
declined, giving as their reason that if
they demonstrated that they had the best
piece in the world there was no certainty
that the United States would take it. Herr
Krupp recently made a gun of exactly the
same bore as a certain best American
type. but considerably lighter, and tested
it a few days ago, throwing shrapnel eff
fectively 5000 yards against the American
guns 1900 yards.
Herr Ehrhardt established five years ago
a branch at Pittsburg, Pa, for the manu-
facture of cartridges and shells. but, prov
ing Improbable, it was closed and he
brought the machinery back TO Germany.
Captain Borup is remembered among for
eign ordnance officers as formerly attached
TO the Paris embassy of the United States
and as having been recalled on an intima-
ton of the French government such a step
would be desirable, this being due to his
unusual success in penetrating military Sc
