ia Emperor William to DIR. Won Lun-
aus the chief of His Majesty's civil
.aninet, who alluded to the will of Mr..
phodes during an audience with the
rmneror yesterday morning.
II was then pointed out to His Ma
,.s+v that Mr.. Rhodes, while leaving
.recise directions as to the selection Of
ths heneticiaries of the Rhodes schol-
.rsbips in other countries, had left
,be selection of the beneficiaries of the
4fteen scholarships set aside for Ger
mans to the discretion of Emperor
William.
The requests of Mr., Rhodes are re-
garded at court as constituting an en-
during impulse to good feeling between
Germany, Great Britain and the United
states and the colonies of these coun-
tries. and as giving more substance to
the grouping of the Teutonic Powers.
"The earth belongs to the vital, hv-
ing peoples, and these should act as
one when inefficient Powers check ad-
vaneement," is another utterance at
tributed to the German Emperor when
Ne was speaking of Prince Henry's trip
and the need of a better understanding
with the United States.
The Inclusion of Germany in Mr.
Rhodes aims, as set forth in his will,
has brought out some considerate ex-
pressions concerning his imperial pur-
poses from even the Anglophobe jour-
nails, although most of the commenta-
tors on his purposes hold him RESPONSE
bic for the Boer war.
why have not l such a minister?2
Emperor William is said to have ex-
claimed after an interview with Cecil
Rhodes in 1889. This remark is now
widely rcpI oduced and it enables the
opposition agraphists to revile the
present ministry.

WILL BE A BENEFIT TO OXFORD.
viii Tend to Quicken Its Intellec-
tual Life, Says London Times.


London. April 1.-THE Times, in an
editorial on the reception of Mr..
Rhodes plan abroad, says:
1T is unnecessary to discuss the
political aspects of the scheme as it
indicated Mr.. Rhodes aspirations for
a better understanding between Eng
land, America and Germany, but it
cannot be doubted that the effect OF
the change on oxford itself will be
far-reaching and it is hoped invigor-
ating. The influx of Americans and
Germans will tend to quicken the in
tellectual life"
Owing to the absence of most of the
authoritative men FROM Oxford at the
present moment says the Times, it will
be impossible to get an expression of
university opinion on the subject now,
but doubtless the trustees have many
important points to decide under the
large discretion left them.
The Times considers that if Lord
Rosebery would accept the presidency
of the trust. the decision would be gen.
orally welcomed and says that he is
by far the best of the executors for
that office,

REV. Mr.. JAMESON RELEASED,
Griffin Church Permits Him to Con-
Time With State Mission Board.

Griffin. Ga., April 6.-Rev s. Y.
Jameson was to-day released from all
obligations to the First Baptist
Church, and will continue to serve as
secretary of the State Mission Board.
Mr.. Jameson preached here to-day and
after the sermon announced that he
had determined to accept the call
made him by this church IL the mem
bers still wanted him, but he believed
it to be his duty to continue with the
state board.
When he virtually promised to come
to Griffin. protests came from all over
the state asking him TO remain in the
present work and after prayerfully
and carefully studying the situation
he believed he had made a mistake in
changing his labors, but for his words
sake he would accept the call. He
intimated that he could not do his
best work here while feeling that duty
called him elsewhere. His talk was
so clearly an appeal for release that
as soon as he was seated the church
went into conference and unanimously
voted to absolve him from all obliga-
tions, and viii call another pastor
next Tuesday.

turn to Work at Increased Wages.

six months street car strike is at an
end, and the men will return to work

their temporary work and allow the
idle ones to have the places the COM
pany can Immediately provide.
The barn men are given an increase
of per cent. The new schedule of the
car men changes the minimum from IL
to II cents an hour, the maximum from
10 to 1919 cents an hour, and makes
three years instead of five years the
period in which the maximum rate
may be earned.
