The revolution failed because ttho-
nonmetal-acre could not come to terms
with Mr. llhodcs. The expression “meet-
ing of shareholder ' in the “cryptogram”
referred to a moot ng projected for Jan. 5
fat Johannesburg to uninri the British
flag.
Mr. Rhodes intended to do the whole
thing under thc British flag, because he
was surc of sanction for his acts if he suc-
ceeded. He hoped to become president of
a United States of South Africa.
The Transvaal Plot. '
LONDON, hilly il.—'l'ho house of com-
mons was crowded with members, and
the pccrs' and strangers’ galleries were
iillcd with visitors upon the occasion of
the presentation of the colonial estimates.
Sir William Harcourt, the leader of the
' opposition, reminded the government that
an quiry had been promised, with the
chic ’t of ascertaining whethcr or not the
British South Africa company was in the
hands of fit anti proper persons to be in-
trusted with the administration of affairs
of the company’s territory.
The trial of the members of the Johan-
nesburg reform committee in Pretoria,
Sir William said. had disclosed important
circumstances, and the government now
owud the country an authoritative stntc‘
merit. In tho present condition of affairs,
he said, he would confine his remarks to,
tho position of the Chartered company.
into which inquiry was absolutely neces-
sary because it affected the relations bo-
- twccn Great Britain and the South Afri-
can republic and the relations between the
Inglish and the Dutch in South Africa.
in the light of the recent disclosures the
case of Dr. .lnmcsou had fallen directly
into the background. What the govern-
ment had to consider was the matter oi
the instructions under which Dr. Jameson
had acted. From the cipher telegrams
which had beenintcrprotcd audpublishod,
‘ he declared. it ”was obvious that the whole
affair had, been conducted between .lchnnv
nosburg and Cape Town by the principal
and responsible direction of the British
South Africncompany.~
Sir William said that the whole story
was "an inoxprcssibly revolting. sordid
and squalid picture of stock jabbing im-
perialism." '
Jeopardizcd England's Interests.
Mr. Chamberlain said that tho deplora-
iilo result of Jumoson's raid had been to

l
land’s main policy. He was. aonvinc
be raid. that therb had been faults on both
sides. but until they had got to the bot-
tom of the matter the government could
not properly Judge the merits of the note.
There had been irsaucat Boer invasions,
be said. not msroly‘ihto territory ontuids
of, the ‘ransvaal, but also into British
ferrite . Furthermore, the Boers had
shown a great want of consideration for
the rights oi the ultlanders.
Mr. Chamberlain iurther said that a'
harmonious settlement of the caution oi
the rights oi the ultisnders had long been
Mr. Bhodos’ dearest object. If he could
only have found a cow rkcr in President
Kruger. the rennin: won d have been benef-
iccnt in promoting the federation oi the
South African states. wherein local rights
would have bccn fully regarded. Though
recent events had sadly interfered with
titers objects, their accomplishment still
remained the government’s chief aim.‘
' Preildent Kruger'a refusal to come to
England at the government's .re cost to
modify the convention of 1884 ha ended
the prospects oi a private conference upon
the loading diflicultlcs. What then be
asked-ought to be the right step? it had
been suggested that the government ought
to have sent an ultimatum to President
Kruger. This would certainly have been
rejected and would have led to war. The
government. he declared, could not think
of resorting to war in order to enforce in-
tcrnpl reforms in the Transvaal. ,
llad Npt Threatened Kruger.
This declaration was received with cries
of “Hoar. hea'rlk' '
Mr. Chamberlain said that he had not
threatened President Kruger at ‘all, but
had assorted the right to make friendly
representations. President Kruger prom-
ised to consider those representations, and
the government awaited the fulfillment of
his promises. In the meantime Sir Hor-
culos Robinson. the governor of Cape Col-
ony. had been rcquostod to come to Eng-
land. but the request for him to come was
not intended as a recall. In regard to thc
Chartered company, he. said he did not
dispute the authenticity of the cipher tele-
grams which the Transvaal authorities
had published. although there were as
yet no legal proofs that they indicated
complicity on the part of the directors of
tho companv.
“Considering the disturbed state of
Rhodesia anti the influence of Mr. Rhodes
in that territory, ldo not blame thcdi-
rectors for their show of confidence."
Mr. Labcuchcrc, Radical. member for
Northampton, who followed Mr. Cham-
berlain, made a violent attack upon the
British Chartered South Africa company.
110 wps inclined to believe, he said. that
if Mr. Chamberlain had been given a free
hand they would not have heard much
more of Mr. Rhodes and his company.
The entire prose, he want on, had con-
spircd to blind the real truth. The out
come of tho situation was that they had a
gang of gamblers and financiers, headed
by l‘ccil Rhodes, who wished to rob tho
public. .
Mr. Labouohoro charged Rhodes with
lying to conceal his complicity with the
invasion of the Transvaal and with usipg
his position to advance his personal and
sordid interests. With incrcdiblé infamy.
said the editor of Truth. be allowed his
