fastened Rhodes Death.

Extravagant as is the tale told by the
princess of her relations with Rhodes,
and of how his friendship turned 20
hate and to persecution, yet 1t must be
acknowledged that her statements are
borne out by circumstantial evidence
and that unless her case was a strong
one the eminent lawyers whom she has
retained to represent her interests would
never hare taken it up Moreover, 1t Is
admitted by Rhodes friends that the
trouble with the princess has>ened his
death.
That she had an altogether fair trial
in South Africa one is inclined to doubt
Il was a question between her veracity
and that of Rhodes. and aside from his
overwhelming personality. welding a
predominant influence over everything
in South Africa, and the prejudice Ell
tertained against her as a Russian in
trigante, IT seems perfectly true that
she was prevented from calling the wit
nesses that she needed, and that she
was afraid TO bring back from Europe
TO South Africa the papers which would
have cleared her.

late this afternoon. When asked if he

With reference to the discussion con-
corning his attitude in connection with

the following statement to the Associ-

that the brief statement above quoted

among those close to the senator, that
he still doubts the advisability Of the
adoption of a resolution endorsing
