WIMPERLS (Vice-President of the Royal Institute) ¡SNOW OPEN IS NOW OPEN at Mr ALFRED FRhKE'.S, 12, DUKE-STREET, CARDIFF. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. THE "TIMES" SAYS Mr Wimperis, one of the best-known members of the Institute, belongs to the school of David Cox, whose methods he follows without any slavih imitation." The PALL MALL" SAYS j-The exhibition of such work as that of Mr Wimperis is the best con- futation of the groaners who say that the English art of the present day is entirely dominated by French influence. THE TELEGRAPH SAYS ;-Among the first. class -pecially worthy of notice—the class of accepted artists giving us work even above their wont—are Mr Wimperis, &c., &c." THE STANDARD SAYS Mr Wimperis, like David Cox, is not dependent on scenery that is pretty any more than on scenery that is grand. Noble form or dainty form is a thing of indifference to him as an artist. Indeed, it is not form at all, or, at all events, not form that is permanent, that interests him seriously. It is flying lights and the shadow of a cloud over a great land Mr Wimperis is the poei, of the everyday country. The thing lives—but by how few strokes ? Art like this, as much in painting as in writing, is the Art that interests us the most in the end." THE "GLOBE* SAYS A more satisfactory exhibition of a single artist's work has not been lately seen than the series of drawings by Mr E. M. Wim- peris." ?' TRUTH" SAYS Mr Wimperu is, in my opinion, one of the most truthful and conscientious andscape painters that we possess. 9349—792e Síi:ï;PHERDS í5ECOND ANNUAL )? ATHLETIC SPORTS and FOOTBALL TOURNA.

The Man About Town. I Here is the First of May, but where is II the May Pole and the Queen of the May ?" Had we lived in Rural Britain a long time ago," as the story books tell, we should have been" up in the morning betime to gather a garland for the May Festival and returned ere now from tile woods with the dew upon our feet, festoons jl of green branches and flowers in our hands, and the sweet breath of Spring in onr lungs. Lack-a-day the merry May-pole dance I has died away. It fell away from favour and was accounted disrespectable. Then the sweeps took the festival to themselves, but it disappeared finally because the times were out of joint." It is now celebrated by a cart horse parade and a Labour Day pro- cession. The times are out of joint, for Scientists talk learnedly of the three cold days in May, and if we had to gather in a garland of May blossoms, where should we find them on the first of May ? True, the orchards are blooming with the blossom of apple and cherry, the black I thorn is still radiant in its snowy garb along the hedgerows, the kingcup is golden in the meadow with the purple orchids the pale primrose and the lordly daffodil may be gathered still. In the dingles the Lady smock stands erect with face to the skies, and the dainty anemone and the frail and sylph-like cuckoo pint, with the pun- gent bluebell, await our pleasure. But these are early spring blooms and not the May lfowers with which the May Pole was decorated. Here is the first of May welcome to the Merry Month, and to the Exhibition, which opens to-morrow. To- morrow shall be the May Day for South Wales Here's a how-de-do The Corporation should immediately decide whether the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princesses Victoria and Maud are call- ing at Cardiff to honour the few gentlemen who happen to be the Councillors and Aldermen of the Borough for the time being and to shake hands with the Town Clerk, or whether it is the Borough itself that Royalty is desirous of favouring with their presence. Is the Royal Party to be cooped up in that wretched apology for a Town Hall during their all too brief stay, and the presentation of the Freedom to be made in the presence of the members of the Cor- poration and officiais, or shall this public ceremony be carried out in a public place, to which the citizens of Cardiff will be admitted The conduct of the busi- ness thus far has been more worthy of a Little Peddlington than a Borough which craves to be a City. If the presenta- tion of the Freedom is made in the Town Hall it will be a miserable fiasco the people will not be able to witness the principal part of the ceremonies. When Lord Windsor announced the decision of the Prince to visit Cardiff the Mayor expressed the wish that everything should be done to enable the people of Cardiff to participate in the pleasures of the Royal Visit. It was to be a popular visit, and the Councillors cried Hear, hear." Municipal dignity, has stiffened since then, and now we have the spectacle of a Corporation deciding to hold a most important ceremony in an impossible place, to which only the Corporation and a very limited number can be admitted, simply because it is the right thing to hold it in the Town Hall. If we had a Town Hall in which to conduct a public ceremony, well and good but shall we imprison the Royal party and shut them off from the view of the citizens in Municipal Buildings that might do credit to Cwmscwt or Pwllypant, or pass muster as I a refreshment room and shelter if removed to the Roath Park It has not been finally settled where the pre- sentation shall take place, but the temper of the Corporation has been made clear— many of them desire to convert the visit into a nice little pic-nic with the Royal party and do honour to their noble selves. Public opinion is justly incensed against such a proposal, and the men at the Docks are rightly indignant. If it is understood that the Freedom of the Borough is to be presented at the Park Hall, or better still ,the Rosebery Hali in the Exhibition grounds, the subscriptions from the Docks will come in generously and right royally, but not for a Corporation private ceremony. No ceremony, no subscriptions. That is the very sensible attitude of the Docks business men, and the public will applaud their public spirit. If the decision is arrived at to make the presentation in a large public hall, all difficulties can be smoothed over, and the Royal visit made to afford pleasure to a very large number of the Cardiff Public. Is it necessary to ask whether this is not better than that proposed little private Corporation picnic with Royalty present in the Town Hall ? Cardiff is not Ta-ta Land," exactly. One doesn't mind the Corporation playing in their own back yard occa- sionally, nor whether they amuse themselves by calling down the Aldermanic" rain barrel, or "sliding on" on the Coun- cillors' cellar door;" but on the rare occasion of a visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales and their popular daughters—well, the public just want to come in and enjoy the fun, and to share the dignity and the honour I found the following little poem lying on my table this morning. A graceful tribute to friendship. Though it is addressed to "Mr O. Phillips," of the Hamadryad Hospital Ship, it will do for any good friend. Cut it out and place it inyour scrap book:— God give thee speed— And, oh be fair whatever path be thine No flints or thorns that out or pierce, and shine With sorrow's mimic gtream. May fortune wait, With weloome smiles, to greet thee at the Thou hast deserved the guerdou, dearest friend Good luck attend thee at thy journey's end. God ftive thee speed— We would have had thee linger yet awhile; Thou art too dear—too precious is thy smile, Thy cheery word, thinn optimistic view, To barter for untried acquaintance new. As light.! glow brightest ia the deepest gloom, So hearts like thine illume our tost hope's tomb. God give thee llpeed- Thou hast our warmest wish—most ferveut pray'r We could not give thee less for all thy care. o light of days which but for thee were dark 1 God give thee speed, [lnd trim thy hopeful baiqua To tnck and task till lee shores are behind, And stonr.5 surrender to a lasting summer wind. —E. P. It is necessary sometimes to state, re-state, and reiterate a tact in order to keep it before the public unclouded by specious argument and superfluous" ex- planation." I notice this morning that Mr Campbell, the secretary of the Miners' Provident Fund, has been presented with a letter of absolution from the Lord Mayor's Secretary, who deems it necessary to call attention to Mr Campbell's services to the Miners' Provident Fund, added to which is a little quite unnecessary disquisi- bon on the undesirability of having an ?successful appeal for charity on behalf of the Widows and Orphans of unfortunate Miners. First of all, there is no need to relieve Mr Campbell from personal responsibility, because the Board of Management have accepted that responsi- bility, and with it must go the blame. Mr Campbell acted not as a privata person, but as an official supported by the Board of Management. Secondly, Mr Campbell's past services to the Permanent Fund and to the miners have never been questioned or denied and thirdly, there was no question of the possibility of an un-successful or im-desirable Mansion House Fund in the case of Tylorstown. The Permanent Society's officials have now admitted that on the day after the Tylorstown accident—before the extent of the disaster was known—they de- cided that no appeal to the charitable public was necessary, and they hindered appeals being made. These are facts as hard as ada- mant and as sharp as a splintered flint. No explaining away," or specious argu- ment or references to past action will be allowed to obscure the facts. The exoneration of Mr Campbell personally by the Lord Mayor's Secretary is polite, but it is quite unnecessary and does not bear on the question of the action of the Board of the Miners' Permanent Society. These polite letter writers—this is the second—should give the Miners of South Wales credit for possessing sufficient intelligence to enable them to distinguish a sprat from a mackerel. There is just the sp-me sound commonsense, the keen, shrewd, subtle intelligence engaged at the face of the coal in South Wales as there is employed on the Board of Management of the Colliery Companies. This is a fact frequently forgotten. J The sole point in this whole business is that the Permanent Society hindered sub- scriptions being gathered for the Tylorstown ¡ sufferers; and that the hindrance immedi- ately followed their being stopped in a I grab "at the Albion money. The sole conclusion which the miners draw from the whole circumstances is that they must themsslve8 take over the management of their own society, and not leave it in the hands of men who act as the board acted to the Tylorstown sufferers. There has been from time to time a good deal of adverse criticism on affairs connected with the Roath Park, but I think it will be difficult to find fault with that circular portion beyond the lake which Mr Petti- grew will have ready for opening about the middle of May. The site of the park as a whole did not by any means lend itself to an artistic laying out, and when Mr Pettigrew undertook that work the odds were against him he had not a favourable start. Nevertheless I think it is admitted that he has done his portion of the work with considerable ability and shown not a little artistic taste. In this new section to which I ref er he has had a  mote equal contest, with the result that the piece now nearly ready for the public Is I certainly the prettiest part of the whole park. In leaving the development of this wild bit of the Park to their head gardener, the Committee, it will be agreed bf eve"ne when they have seen the resul, have exercised a wise discretion. A more charming spot it will be difficult to find, and it has the advan. tage of being natural. The brook meanders through this section beneath overhanging trees. It looks an ideal trout stream, and sitting on the well-placed seats the visitors will hardly imagine that they are in close proximity to a thriving seaport. I am assured that this part will prove, after the ever popular lake, the most frequented portion of the park. Nothing could be prettier than the views obtained by looking up or down the stream from the rustic bridges. Altogether the result which has been effected here redounds to the credit of the Head Gardener. Referring to the lake reminds me that bathing commences to-day, but I hope there will be no actual necessity for the expert swimmer who .has wisely been engaged by the committee.

Women of the Day. I Miss Frances Power Cobbe was born in 1822, ab Newbridge, in the county of Dublin. She is thus au Irishwoman, though of English descent, for she came of an English fitock which settled in Ireland in the 18th century. Her father nobly MISS OOBBB. served under Welles- ley in India, and, on his retirement from the Army, became an Irish landlord of tho noblest and most generous type. Her mother again was a lady of exquisite gentleness, though in very delicate health. On the death of her father, Miss Cobbe took a loi;g journey across Europe to the Hoiy Land. After her return from a year's pilgrimage she settled down at Bristol to help Mary Carpenter in her Reformatory and Ragged School work. After spending some time in this service, she found a fresh field' of activity in workhouse reform. She visited many of the English workhouses in 1859, and found that the sick lay on wretched beds, in filthy wards, and that thoy were nursed by pauper women of the lowest class. The pauper children were also nob only without the tenderness (,f motherhood, but with- out toys, or flowers, or anything which could gladden and sweeten existence. For her efforts in this matter she deserves the blessing of all who are interested in child life. In the year 1863 Miss Cohbt,'s attention was called to the fearful torture inflicted-by the vivisectorsof the Continent upon helpless animals, not forellume purposes of research, but solely for purposes of demonstration and experiment. At once she took up a pen barbed with steel and fledged with fire Against these iniquities. Her first article was pubhehed by Mr Froude, in Eraser's Magazine, in 1863, It wa* entitled The Rights ot Man and the Claims of Brutes." This began the warfare, which she has continued until the present time.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARDIFF I STREETS, Whioh Affects the Water Supply. f A Sensible fiesolu-tion. I A meeting of the Water Works Committee of the Cardiff Corporation was held in the Town Itall to-day under the presidency of Alderman David Jones (deputy mayor), there being also present Aldermen D. Lewis and W. Sanders, Councillors E. Beavan, J. Comley, S. Mildon, W. S. Crossnan, George David, F. J. VeaIl, W. H. Allen, Illtyd Thomas, and Mr C. H. Priestley, water works engineer. Mr Priestley reported that the water mains in Gloucester. street, Riverside, and many of the streets adjoining were in very bad condition through corrosion, consequent upon the streets being made up of scavenging refuse. He submitted speci- mens of the three-inoh mains and the lead service fittings, which were corroded right through. Such corrosion, he explained, was constantly occurring in streets similarly made up, parti- cularly in Riverside, Grangetown, Saltmead, and Splotfc districts. He asked for the instructions of the committee as to this matter, so that the corrosion might be prevented in future. In the course of a brief dis- cussion Councillors Veall, G. David, and Mildon called attention to the fact that several streets in other parts of the town were being made up in a similar way to Gloucester-street and Councillor David said the stench in the last named place was so bad that the workmen could hardly execute the necessary repairs. It was further stated that there was considerable leakage, and that the water supply »o some of the houses had been contaminated. The lower side of the pipes being laid on a bed of clay were intact, and all the corrosion was on the top, which shows that the dangerous chemical element is in the made-up ground above. On the proposi- tion of the Chairman, seconded by Councillor Veall, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to That the Water Engineer, baving called attention to the state of the water main in Gloucester-street and submitted portions thereof ai d of the service pipes, sh>.wins; great corrosion resulting from chemicals known to existjin the ashes- and refuse with which the street is made, this committee strongly titges the Council not in future to permit any street to be formed with ashes, town refuse, or other deleterious material.

I Muswell Hill Murder. j LATEST REVELATIONS, FOWLER TURNS ON MILSOM, A sequel to Milsom's confession, not altogether unexpected, has (says the Daily Courier) been provided by Fowler, who has, it is stated, made some remarkable admissions since the proceedings at Higbgate on Wednesday. The prisoners alone knew what was actually stolen in money from Muswell Lodge, and Fowler has stated that it was j6112. Fowler has not yet made a full confession, but so indignant and bitter did be become after realising the effect of Milsom's statement that he has been unable to restrain himself from expressing his opinion of his companion in custody, and he is anxious now to make a statement privately, but only on condition that it will not assist the police. In his anger he is alleged to have declared that Milsom was the man who actually delivered the first blow at Mr Smith, and that while the victim I was lying prostrate on the floor Milsom put his foot on th9 old man's neck, Fowler's Condition, I Fowler's condition last night was far from well. He is very weak and dejected, so much so that it is nob improbable that he will have to become an inmate of the prison infirmary. In the prison every precaution has been taken with him. Milsom is described as being chetrful and in his ordinary cell, but Fowler has been placed in a specially prepared cell, and is under the closest medical attention, besides the ordinary prison guard. Sir Edward Bradford, the Commissioner, and Colonel -Mansell, chief constable of the Metropohtan police, have visited Holloway Prison. Milsom and his Solicitor. I Mr H. Piersoo, solicitor, who has up to the present conducted the defence of Milsom and Fowler, is seriously considering his position in view of the confession made by the prisoner Miisom to Detective- Inspector Marshall. Mr Pierson has arranged to interview the prisoners at Holloway Gaol, when the course to be adopted at the subsequent bearings of the case will be decided upon. He is placed in a somewhat difficult position, seeing that the prisoners appear to have conflicting interests, whereas prior to Milsom's statement they were identical. Both Milsom and Fowler, notwithstanding the confes- sion, have expressed their willingness that for the meantime Mr Pierson should continue in the defence of both. It has been decided that, on the prisoners being committed for trial, their defence shall be conducted by separate counsel. Discrepancies in the Confession." I The police authorities have decided not to make any distinction in the charges brought against either of the prisoners, in consequence of two or three serious discrepancies in Milsom's confession respecting the actual perpetration of the crime. Milsom stated that he knew nothing of the planned burglary at Muswell Lodge until a few hours previous to their setting out. He also stated that he saw Fowler come out of the room with his bands, face, and clothes covered with blood. Fowler then went upstairs and ransacked the room. With regard to the first statement, Miss Kate Alioe Goode identified both prisoners &8 having asked her on the Tuesday before the murder—February 11th-whether there were any means of egress from the houses in Tetherdown- lane into Coldwell Woods. With regard to the second assertion, the police have come to the conclusion that it would have been impossible for Fowler to have ransacked the room with blood all over his hands and clothes without having left some traces behind. None were discovered. Dead Men Don't Speak!" I Alfred Milsom, the brother of the prisoner, stated, too, that he had an interview with his brother in Holloway Gaol, where he told him that be bad decided to make a confession, and that he (the prisoner) had begged of Fowler not to kill the old man, but that Fowler replied Dead men don't speak." The statement, re- garded from the police point of view, is wholly inconsistent with the one made by Milsom, to the effect that he was never in the house, and that he did not know what Fowler was'doing until he he heard the old man scream Police, Thieves, Murder." The police oonsider, however, that there is one point pre-eminently in favour of Milsom. This is the statement of Mrs Whenton, that on the morning before the murder was committed she saw two men close to Muswell Lodge, one of whom was the prisoner Fowler, but the oLr wa: not Milsom. I

THE TYLORSTOWN DISASTER. Mansion House and Mr G, L. Campbell. I We have received for publication the following letter from Mr W. J. Soutsby, for many years private secretary to the Lord Mayor of London, to Mr George L. Campbell. J.P., secretary of the Central Association for Dealing with Mining Accident Distress, and consulting and Parlia- mentary secretaiy of the Monmouthshire and South Wales Miners' Permanent Provident Society :— The Mansion House, London. April 28th. 1896. Dear Mr Campbell,-Someone has kindly sent me the Cardiff newspapers of yesterday, con- taining a roport of the miners' society's meeting, when I am sorry to see you were" hauled over the ooali "for the advioe we elicited from you in relation to the Tylorstown disaster. I think those who blamed you showed a remarkable forgetfulness of what^ou have done tor miners generally-and for Welsh miners especially-in years past. On many occasions you have been the firfit to prompt us to start relief funds, and your annual conferences here have kept alight the flickering flame of enthusiasm and interest for miners in their times of distress and need. An unnecessary Mansion House Fund-or one that is a failure—does more harm to future appeals than can be imagined, besides removing the healthy stimulus of local effort and local self- respect which are so essential. I hope one re, 's uit of the meeting will not be to make you chary of giving us advice when next we invite it, for, if ib is, we shall certainly have lost a wise counsellor, and the miners an excellent end far-seeing friend.-I am, yours very truly. w.

Rhodes and the Raid. i EXPOSURE OF COMPLICITY. Astounding Revelations, A GRAVE SITUATION. DEATII BLOW 10 THE Cm/V.TuREC COMPANY." Kruger and the Sentences Scratohel Them at Once." Despatches from South Africa, published through Reuter's Agency this morning, shed tht clearest light that has yet been thrown upon events in South Africa, and it is impossible t<r ignore the gravity of the conclusions to which- they point. The despatches consist of a series of telegrams coded in cypher which passed in the month of December last between Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pitsani. The Boer Govern. ment obtained possession of these documents. A code captured on the field of Doornkop among the effects of Dr. Jameson's force has given tht required key for their translation, and they were put in evidence on Monday last at the trial of the members of the Reform Committee at Johannesburg. The correspondence establishes beyond the possibility of further doubt (states the Times) the fact that Mr Rhodes and Mr Beit, twev directors of the Chartered Company, as well a* Mr Rutherford Harris, the secretary of the company in South Africa, were privy to a move. ment which was taking place in Johannesburg, and that the leaders of the movement counted upon their help and countenance to insure success. Not content with having approached Mr Rhodes and Dr. Jameson with a request foi sympathy in amovement justified,in their opinion, by the circumstances, the Reform leaders < £ Johannesburg appear to have felt tbr need of substantial help and sabive direction from outside. Money, men, and armc seem to have been asked for and supplied. No one, adds our contemporary, will very seriously blame Mr Rhodes for having regarded the movement of his fellow countrymen without disfavour. But in the position which he held of Premier of a neighbouring State and managing director of an Imperial enterprise, he had responsibilities of a wider kind which should have restrained him from mixing himself actively in their concerns. Success might possibly have excused it could not have been held to justify the part he played. Direct Implication of Rhodes and Others, A telegram from Cape Town, forwarded by the special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, states Telegrams and documents produced during th* Reform trial directly implicate Cecil Rhodes, Rutherford Harris, and others in the Jameson invasion. Feeling is very excited throughout the country on this matter. Can They be Genuine P A more astounding set of documents never saw the light. As to their genuineness wef Daily Chroni cle)can,of course, express no authoritativeopinion. It is within the limits of possibility that they may be clever fabrications palmed off by some unscrupulous person upon the Transvaal Govern- ment. On the other hand, a few hours' search will tell whether or not the originals of them are preserved at the various telegraph offices. The Boer authorities declare that they are cypher despatches interpreted by the aid of a key found in Dr. Jameson's baggage at Doornkop. If they are genuine, then the worst suspicions against the Chartered Company and every one ot its chief organisers and promoters are more than confirmed. The documents, as they stand, reveal a complete entente among all the parties. How the Plot Miscarried. The facts established by tbe correspondence are, in the opinion of the Standard, damaging enough without assuming that the business in hand was a ooiossal Stock Exchange transaction. Unless the messages are pure fabrication, it appears certain that Dr. Jameson's colleagues and ohief (Mr Rhodes) were privy to his purpose of entering the territory of the Republic at the bead of his armed band. The plan was that he should arrive simultaneously with the rising at Johan- nesburg. How did this bold and crafty combina- tion miscarry ? There appears to have been some little friction, leading to delay, as to a pledge from Mr Rhodes that the authority of the Imperial Government was not to be insisted on." But the real cause of the breakdown was the superior sagacity of the Boer officials, and tbe tardy discovery that local sentiment was not likely to declare itself as largely in favour of the pohey of force as the organisers had fancied it would be. Dr. Jameson was ready to push on. the special letter of invitation for which he had stipulated having been duly sent to him. Bub as the day approached for the great meeting of protest that was to be the beglDDing of the action in which the co-operation of the company's troopers was needed, it was found necessary to postpone it. Then there was a change of parts. The Johannesburg confederates did their beat to prevent the premature start. But the Chartered Company's Administrator was impatient and went forward. The rest is mabter of recorded history. Went Off at Half-Cook." According to the Daily News a reader of the long correspondeuca uow issued might be deluded into thiukicg that he was following the plot of a farce, rather than of a plot in real politics -a plot fraught with the gravest cousequenose tc individuals and to States. As such it is no laughing matter, and these very serious telegram* will commaud the closest attention, not only from the public, but from her Majesty's Government. One point which seems to come out clearly from the telegrams is that the leaders at Johannesburg wanted to postpone things, and in fact that tb, revolution went off at half-cock. The pare played by Mr Cecil Rhodes.Mr Beit, Dr. Harris, and the Chartered Company is important. "If it can fctf proved." said Mr Chamberlain on December 31st. 1895, "that the British South Africa Company set Dr. Jameson in motion, or were privy to hit marauding action, her Majesty's Government would at once have to face a demand that the charter should be revoked and the Corporation dissolved." We do not say that the telegrams do actually prove what Mr Chamberlain thus specified, but unqur«t!onac.y they go very neat to it. Death-Blow to the Chartered Company. This is the heading given by the Datly Couritf to its article discussing the revelations. If, it adds, the telegrams be genuine, a self-inftictec. deathblow has been given to the British Soutt Africa Company. Documents of a more damaging character could not have been invented by a novelist who set himself to describe an intricate plot of finance and politics, moving towards a culmination which should carry with it the utter ruin of his imaginary conspirators. What is the vital meaning of the telegrams which passed between the officers of the Chartered Company at Cape Town, Dr. Jamesou at Pitsam, and Colonel Rhodes ab Johannesburg i It is that these parlies were engaged in planning a revolu- tion in Johannesburg, and an armed invasion of the Transvaal. That is the central fact, thrust forward in the strongest light. If it be estab- lished, the Imperial Governmentwill be compelled to cancel a charter which has beeu so grossly anø¡t. criminally abused. It must not be forgotton that it has been hinted that the Boers issued certain supposibitouf telegrams, by which they hoped to crush th* Chartered Company and ruin Mr Cecil Rhodes. We would place credence in this suggestion rather than believe the damning story of bad faith to tbt Queen which the telegrams tell but it must be confessed that there is no evidence on which tc charge the Boers with wholesale forgery. Thf documents seem to be genuine. The story it blacker when we remember that at this time bit Cecil Rhodes was not only a member o5 the Queen's Privy Council, but also Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. If the telegrams be genuine, ho was engaged in a colossa' deception. This right honourable, trusty, aae: well-beloved servant of the Queen was deoeiving the Queen's representative, Sir Hercules RobIn. son, and the people of South Africa. He waf playing fast and loose with the interests ot ttul Empire. He was the head and front ot a CO" spiracy which might have brought us within an ace of war with a great European Power. He was so, that is to say, if the telegrams are not the Boer forgeries we would fain believe them to be. The truth must be tested. Mr Rhodes should have music of another kind to face than two hours' conver-ation with bIt Chamberlaiu, and we shall be surprised if it is not provided for h!m by the law oiffcers of the Sovereign ivhnse truss he is alleged to have betrayed.
