RHODES ESTEEMED AMERICANS

In paying touching tribute to the
memory OF Cecil Rhodes Mr.. Hofmeyr
said that 1t was through Rhodes that he,
Mr.. Hofmeyr, was in the United States,
for on the very morning of the day OF his
death Rhodes, who had a warm regard
fox Americans. made the request that he
should visit this country and speak to the
people on matters connected with South
Africa.
Rhodes, he said, had been the subject
of attack by those who did not know him.
Those who did know him, said Mr.. Hof-
nleyr, were aware of his greatness, not
alone an empire builder, but as a
friend, philanthrOpist and public spirited
man. His will, said Mr.. HOfmeyr, proved
that his fortune had not been accumulat-
ed for personal reasons. The greater part
OF his vast wealth he had left for the
advancement of his fellow men.
The Rev. Mr.. Hofmeyr will give an
other lecture at the Young Mems Chris
tiOn Association tomorrow evening, when
lie will tell Of the Boer war and also ex-
plain his position as envoy for Lord
Kitchener.

TELLS CHARACTER
Of CECIL RHODES
Rev. A. Hofmeyr Talks
of England's "Em-
pire Builder"
Describes Perilous Journey
Into the Interior Of
South Africa.

The Rev. a. Hofmeyr OF South Africa,
friend of the late Cecil Rhodes and the
representative Of that statesman with the
exploring party which planted the British
flag in Matabeleland gave his first lee
ture last night in San Francisco at the
1oung Mems Christian Association. w.
Courtenay Bennett, the British Consul
General, occupied the chair and intro
duced the African explorer to the audi
ence.
The Rev Mr. Hofmeyr, a man Of gigan-
tic height and commanding presence, with
a fluent delivery. quickly took up the
subject Of his address. The recOuntins
OF his "reminiscences Of travels soon in
terested his hearers and spontaneous ap-
plause came frequently and heartily
whenever he mentioned the name, of Ce-
Gil Rhodes as connected with enterprises
which were, as he said, not personal. but
for the welfare of the whole English
speaking people of the world.
In dramatic manner he told OF his COM
mission from Cecil Rhodes, which COM
manded him to go into Matabeleland and
by gentle and friendly means take pos
session of that part OF Africa in the name
OF the Queen, Victoria Rhodes, he said,
was indeed a great empire builder.
PERILs OF THE DESERT.
He knew what was necessary for Eng
lands supremacy in that country. Mr..
Hofmeyr gave a graphic and necessarily
sensational description of the expeditions
travels. He told of the prfvations suf-
fered before reaching the far Off point,
described the stampede of their bullocks,
through which they were left waterless
and almost died on the scorching desert.
He told of the succOr that miraculously
came many times to their aid when their
position was fraught with danger.
Against all obstacles, he said, they battled
peacefully and without complaint, push
ing on and on until they reached the part
Of the country which was to add histori-
cal interest and Importance to British
possessions on the vast African conti-
nent. During the exploration the little
band representing Cecil Rhodes made fast
friends with the Kaffirs. who aided them
materially in the prosecution Of their OBJ
ject. Mr.. Hofmeyr told how, with the aid
OF runners, they kept Cecil Rhodes posted
as to their progress and how the states
man aided them throughout their peril
Gus journey. Coming down to later days.
Mr. Hofmeyr spoke about his capture
during the Boer war by the Beers and his
long imprisonment and also told of his
subsequent mission as peace envoy, hav-
ing been sent by Lord Kitchener to treat
with the Beers.

At first they were only allowed to ap-
pear before the King and House of Lords
on bended knees and humbly present their
views. As their wealth and Importance in
the Kingdom grew, they insisted on be-
ing treated with more consideration, and
hnally gained the point In the course of
centuries that all questions Of taxation
must be referred to them, and they would
devise the ways and means for furnish
ing the King with the money he required.
II was the violation of this by Charles 7
which led to his being dethroned and be-
headed. He attempted to levy taxes with
ont the consent of the Commons" and in
the war which ensued, the Commons"
not only affirmed for ever their right to
originate all bills for raising revenue. but
they went still further and secured the
right TO appropriate" the money raised
that is, where before they had given the
King the money in a lump sum and he
spent it as he pleased, henceforth they
would give certain amounts for certain OBJ
Jects. and they could be used for no others.
The moment they gained this point, the
House OF Commons became the real gov
ernors of the Kingdom. II was n long
struggle lasting for centuries more. but
the Commons held tenaciousIy the ground
gained, with the result that to-day Eng
land Is virtually governed by Committee

Right on the heels of that declaration

there will be a "time" before they are es-

Government Printer and the Administra-
ton when he puts those machines in, and
though the kicking Printers Unions cum
not have any influence upon him here in

placing these in the hands of the recip-

600.
With view TO handling the seeds bet
ter, the country has been divided into six
districts, and seeds and plants particu-
larly adapted to that section will be sent
there much earlier than ever before.
There has been much complaint in the

placing seeds, and that Minnesota was as
likely to receive seeds and plants that
would grow only in the latitude of
Florida, as any other way.

of these packages. Each NJ. G. will also
