12 THS. SUNDAY OREGONIAjS, PORTLAND, MARCH 30,, 1902. THE LOBENGULA TREATY NOT RHODES, BUT "METABELE' THOMPSON MADE RHODESIA. The Late Financier' South African Holding Estimated at $75,- 000,000. IiONDON, March 23. Amid the mass ot biographies, character sketches, criticisms and eulogies of the late Cecil Rhodes, which continue here, a letter was pub lished today which throws netf light on the historic Lobenguela treaty, by which Mr. Rhodes made Rhodesia, It Is signed "One Who Knows," and points out that relther Mr. Rhodes, ilr. IMagulre nor Mr. Rudd deserve credit for the famous con cession, but that It belongs to F. R. Thompson, member of Parliament for Wynbery, Cape Colony, known as "Me tabele" Thompson. As proof of the writ er's assertion, this characteristic letter of Mr. Rhodes to Mr. Thompson, dated London, July, 18S9, is adduced: "Dear Thompson: Stick to It I trust you alone. Upon you depends the whole thing. The concession I consider to be your work. The charter Is mine. "Without the latter the former would be unworkable. Nature abhors a vacuum. I ask you, Is there a better chance In the world for you? Besides being one of the richest men In the colony, you will have the kudos (glory). Napoleon was permitted to chare the world so long as he got Europe (to work on these lines. Can you give the (whites who are in the, country something? lifter all, they deserve'somethlng. If any doubt your power, ehow them this. G. will pay all checks you draw I feel you jwon't fall me. Stick to the post." "One Who Knows" adds: "Without Mr. Thompsons IS months of dally palaver end peril at the King kraal at Buluwayo, tthere would have been no Rhodesia to 3ay." A financial authority of the Dally Tele graph estimates Mr. Rhodes' South Af rican holdings at over 15,000,000. J. P. Morgan's famous painting by Raphael (the Madonna of St. Anthony of Padua), from the Colonna gallery, is attracting- considerable attention at the National Gallery here, where all comers xnay see it free. Commenting on Mr. Morgan's kindness in letting the picture for six months, one paper reflected some what sadly upon the fact that he paid more for it than the British Nation ever gave for a single picture, though, In stead of paying 100.000, the National Gal aery was offered the picture years ago at a humble price, which It refused to pay. It is said that the picture will probably remain in Mr. Morgan's English home, af ter it is withdrawn from the National (Gallery. The Outlook, dealing with the rumors to the effect that Mr. Morgan has pur chased the White Star Line, says: "If the Morgan syndicate or other Amer ican combines accomplish even a quarter of the projects with which they are con nected by rumor, the world will shortly 5e so Americanized that nothing will re main but to adopt the Stars and Stripes as the common flag for the great powers." The Outlook, however, declares that American "hustling" is provoking com petition In Europe and cannot fail to be beneficial, especially to Great Britain. Abstaining from eating meat during Lent Is quite going out of fashion In London. This apparently is due more to the high price of fish than to a decline In religious feeling. There have never been so many special religious services, and they have never been so largely attend ed, and never was there a Lent or a holiday week in which the butchers were busier. Owing to the stormy weather which prevailed during March, the fisher men were unable to send full supplies of fish, hence the scarcity and high price of the usual Lenten food. Apart from trade reasons, society's attitude had probably something to do with London's consump tion of food, for the restaurants were nightly crowded throughout Lent with non-abstaining notables, while the num ber of social dinners enormously exceed ed those of former years. Only as re gards marriages has London's old-time ob servance of Lent remained. None of any importance has occurred. The royal family did not Join in the gaiety this week, but King Edward was the guest at a dinner given by Major General Fisher-Paget and Mrs. Paget. Another American woman, Mrs. Adair, gave a cotillon March 25, which was one of the most brilliant events of London season. Queen Alexandra, who Is at present at Copenhagen, and who until lately has never cared for cards, is now a devotee of bridge whist. She was so desirous of becoming an expert that she paid a tutor to teach her, and acquired such profi ciency that her playing at Lord Far quhar's recent royal party was much com mented upon. Her Majesty paid her losses out of a little gold purse, hung to her waist. King Edward has long been an expert bridge whist player, but the .Queen's conversion causes some comment. According to a statement made today "Blr Thomas Lipton is responsible for the Idea of King Edward's coronation din ner to London's poor. It was Sir Thom as' wish to furnish the money himself. He offered to place a sufficient sum in the hands of a responsible committee, but the Idea seemed such a happy-one that tho King decided to Identify himself person ally with it and so supply the funds from the privy purse. It was at King Ed ward's personal request that Sir Thom as Lipton joined the committee of May ors, who will superintend the dinner. The correspondent of the Pall Mall Ga zette at Rome, referring to the meeting at "Venice between the German Imperial Chancellor, Count von Bulow, and the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sig ner Prinetto says: "They made last touches to the renewal of the Drcibund. The most important modification of tho old treaty, so far as Italy is concerned, relates to the Medl terranean, Italy claiming that If she re mains in the triple alliance her political Influence at Tripoli must be recognized and her allies must bind themselves to help her In the event of an attempt ofvany other power to seize it, such an at tempt being considered a casus belli. Al though Tripoli is thus recognized to be In the Italian sphere, Italy has no In tention of occupying It. Her policy is wholly against colonial expansion, after the experience in Etritrea, and the gov vernment would be immediately over thrown if it embarked on such an -enterprise." The revenue of the United Kingdom for the quarter ending March 31 shows an Increase of 4.618,913, due entirely to the additional two-pence placed on the income tax. Charles Frohman, having concluded ar rangements to retain the management of his London theaters. Is now trying to ar range American tours, in which he hopes to Include Charles Wyndham. Bcerbohm Tree and Mrs. Langtry. Mr. Tree said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Having sought so many years to build up this big theater (Her Majesty's), I am at last leaping In gladness, and naturally hesitate to attempt an American trip. However, fate is stronger than the will of man, and fate Is Frohman." Mr. Frohman said in part: "If the new musical play by Leslie Stewart, tho au thor of 'Florodora,' and Paul Potter proves better suited to Edna May than Her part in the forthcoming 'Three Little Maids,' she will make her appearance In the former during her American-Australian tour." The GIllette-Frohman season at the Ly ceum will close April 12 with 20,000 profit. Mr. Gillette April 1G will give a dinner of welcome to Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. After a six weeks' provincial tour Mr. Gillette expects to go to Paris, Berlin and other Continental cities. Mr. Frohman has secured a new play, entitled "Two Schools," by Alfred Capus. He has also secured a new drama by the author of "Zaza." The first touring company in "Arizona" will open In the provinces March 3L Mr. Wyndham, according to rumor. Is among those who will receive coronation honors. GER3IAX MEAT PROHIBITIOX. "Sot Especially Aimed, at the United States. BERLIN, March 30. The North German Gazette this morning contains an authori tative expression of the government's po sition in relation to the prohibition of meats prepared with boracic acid, with special reference to the assertion that the prohibition is aimed against the United, States. The article begins by calling at-' tentlon to statements in the press that the view prevails in the United States that tho prohibition Is due to economic rather than to sanitary causes, adding that such an assumption's wholly Incorrect. "There-can be absolutely no tails," con cludes tho article, "about the measure being especially directed against the Unit ed States. It is equally against the do mestic and the foreign product. More over, Germany is not the only state pro hibiting meat 6o prepared, as In France, Belgium and Switzerland a similar prohi bition Is already In force." The BrItIsh-Boer Xefrotlatlom. NEW YORK, March 29. Some little time Is likely to elapse before the result of the consultation between Messrs. Schalkburger and Steyn can be made pub lic, says a London dispatch to the Trib une. It is generally presumed that the Boer leaders In the Transvaal are ready to accept the Inevitable, but if Mr. Steyn and General Dewet are In the same frame of mind as Dr. Leyds, thero Is no imme diate prospect of peace. The British Government is being warned by its supporters In the press against tho danger of granting conditions, which, while seemingly innocent, would yet hang like a millstone around the neck of fu ture administrations of the new colonies. The Saturday Review considers that the attitude of the Boers themselves and the attitude of the Continental powers and the United States makes it imperative that no terms should be granted which could by any possible process of distortion be twisted into an admission on the part of England that she has not been ablo to achieve all that she desired by forco of arms. StoTve Knows the Cause ot "War. ' KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 29. Colonel James G. Stowe, ex-United States Consul General at Capo Town, South Africa, in an address lost night, said that he had returned to this country with tho inten tion of writing and publishing a book on the South African war, but that-ho had been requested not to do so by John Hay, Secretary of State, and that he had there fore given up the project at least for the present. He said he would not do so until after the close of hostilities, If at all. Ho declared that he knew the causes of tho war, but that he did not Intend to tell them at his time. British "Were Severely Handled. LONDON. March 29. A casualty list published this afternoon records a hith erto unreported fight In the Rhenoster "Valley, near Southland, Cape Colony, March 24, when the British were evident ly severely handled. They lost eight men killed, had 10 men wounded and 29 men were captured. The latter have since been released. Arbitration In Australia. SYDNEY, N. S. W., March 29.

Another General Storm in the Rocky Mountains. DENVER, March 29. A general storm prevails on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Snow has fallen continuously In Denver and vicinity for the past 24 hours. At some polrfts on the mountains the storm has reached the pro portions of a blizzard. Cattle on the ranges In the northeast portion are suffer ing severely, being In a too weakened condition from exposure and lack of water to withstand the present storm. Con ditions in that section are extremely se rious and great losses ore almost sure to come. Trouble over the fencing in of the water holes by small herd owners is likely to break out any time, unless the larger stock owners are allowed to drive their cattle to the watering places. Snow in Missouri and Kansas. KANSAS CITY, March 29. A heavy snow storm has prevailed In Western Mis souri and most of Kansas slnco midnight Winter wheat and pasture will, it is be lieved, be immensely benefited, as the mer cury has not fallen below 3S deg. Suggestion to Captain Uobson. New York Sun. One of the most noticeable speakers at the annual banquet of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation the other evening was Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, whose career during tho past four years need not be described. It was very late when he was called upon to Address the company, although 1 was stated on his behalf that ho was called out of his turn because he had a train to catch. The Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna nad yielded to him not only precedence but a considerable part of the audience, for jruesls are accustomed to leave In almost arithmetical retrogression at the end of every speech made after H o'clock. And even then Captain Hobson, remaining until tho proceedings were all over, was one of the last persons to leave. Captain Hobson's speech was pictur esque and accurate. His statement of the present efficiency of tho Navy Department was striking and Just. His arguments for the trade advantages which he thought a great Navy, a commensurate Navy, would bring to this country and keep here, were such as ought to have ap pealed to the minds of the business men t whom he was speaking. To be sure, there was a certain diffuscness about the whole utterance that was not in harmony with tho lateness of the hour. But the speech wasn't a failure because It was too long. And certainly a speech which causes most of Its hearers to kick one another under the table and to smile behind their hands through most of Its length is a failure. The trouble lay with the young man's oratory. Captain Hobson has an admirable voice for speaking. He uses too much of it. His right hand has done noble work for this nation in time of war. In time of peace It saws the air too 'much. And his left Is like unto it. His conduct on his feet reminded one of tho gentleman with a sandy goatee who goes among the coun ty fairs of Vermont selling a composition which combines all the virtues of toilet soap and axle grease. At times one with the mental power of isolating Captain Hobson, the orator, from the surroundings of the banquet hall might easily have be lieved that he was engaged in an effort to dispose advantageously of second-hand clothing. Arbor Day In 3Iontana. BUTTE, Mont., March 29. Governor Toole today set aside May 13 as Arbor day. In his proclamation the Governor asks that one tree be planted in the mem ory of the late President McKInley. " Funston Is at Oalcland. OAKLAND, Cal.. March 29. Brigadier General Frederick Funston Joined his fam ily here today. After visiting a few days he will go to Denver to assume command of the Department of the Colorado. NEGROES OF SANTA CRUZ OXE PHASE OF DANISH RULE IX THE WEST 1XDIES. Blaclc Insurrection la the Island In 187S Terrible Punishment In flicted on the Xcgrroes. The obliging planter who shows the vis itor through the town of Chrlstlansted, In Santa Cruz, the largest of the Danish West Indian Islands, will willingly call attention to the ruins of "many buildings and Inform him with great volubility how many people wore killed In "each, with many other details cf the damage done by the hurricane of 1S9S. But, every now" and then, one will come across a ruin quite different from the others, whose blackened stones tell plainly that fire, and not the hurricane, was the cause of its destruction. If asked the cause of this destruction, the guide at once becomes evasive and noncommittal. Without act ually saying so, he will try to give the Impression that it was tho work of the storm; If. however, like' the writer, the visitor "had seen these same dismantled warehouses 13 years before, the guide, under persistent questioning, will murmur something about an insurrection many years aso, and at once chango the sub ject his whole bearing that of a man forced on the witness-stand to reveal the family skeleton. And, Indeed, these sharp points of smoke-stained walls that persist In towering above the wealth of glossy green which kindly Nature has striven to throw over them are, after all, the un sightly jdbs of disgrace that your planter friend would fain forget. To the cheerful sound of hammers arid clinking trowels the storm-razed buildings are being restored to their former state. But on these fire-crumbled stones a curse seems to have fallen. They are memorials of a negro insurrection. Accurate Infor mation on the subject is very difficult to obtain. The books published about the West Indies barely mention the Insurrec tion, or ignore It entirely. The semi-official West Indian Almanac, published at St. Thomas, skips deftly over it with a brief sentence. The foundation of the trouble was really laid, by an error of the government In 1S4S, a mistake which has never been forgotten by the negro. At that time It was announced that slavery would soon be abolished. As was the case In all the other Islands, this news proved too much for the negro's mental equilib rium. As the appointed date drew near he refused to work, and, taking first to drink ing, quite naturally wound up the cele bration by a bit of rioting. Had the disturbance been put down with a strong hand, no permanent harm would have been done. But, Instead, against the protest of the cooler heads, the govern ment. In a panic of unreasoning fear, pro claimed the liberation of the slaves at once, ahead of time. The rioting imme diately ceased, but the negroes had tasted the sweets of sower. Though they were but yesterday a mass of whlp-drlven slaves, now they could rule their former masters with the scourge of the mob. Although they waited 20 long years, they did not forget the lesson. Slavery had been suceeded by the labor law, under which every negro laborer was compelled to sign a contract with some planter on the first of each October binding himself to work through the ensuing year for 10 cents in cash and 10 cents In food a day. Any found after the 2d of October who had not signed such a contract was pun ished. Even this unsatisfactory arrangement was eo much better than previous condi tions that at first there were no com plaints. Each October, however, dissatis faction grew stronger, until, in 1S77, tho mutterings of a gathering storm were heard. To allay It the government an nounced a repeal of the law, to tako effect three years from date. Again tho negroes had triumphed. The leaders of tho uprising of 1S48 recalled the easy victory of the past. Three years was a long time to wait, but still they hesi tated. As the 1st of October, 1S7S, drew near, it was noticed that a new spirit of insolence had appeared among the labor ers. As they assembled In the towns, where the contracts wero to be renewed, there was much disorder. On the morning of the 1st, the planters were surprised to find a well-organized opposition to the renewal of the contracts. Arguments, threats, promises, all proved unavailing. Every hour fresh bands of negroes, armed with machetes, marched into town, chanting fragments of wild African melodies. Toward dusk tho mer chants, fearing trouble, had put up their heavy shutters, and the townsfolk retired to their homes. A swift sloop there was no cablo then set sail for St. Thomas, bearing urgent appeals for help from the tiny Danish garrison there. At first the mob was contented with marching up and down the deserted streets, howling the rallying cry, "No more 10 cents a day." Shouting was a thlrst-produclng exercise: a rumshop door might perhaps be broken in. Yes, it was quite easy; there was refreshment for all at no ex pense. The torches of resinous wood be gan to wavo unsteadily In the hands of their bearers. How easy It would bo merely to lay one of the torches against the huge wooden doors of the sugar ware house! Yes, dry with age. It caught fire quickly. Like children, terrified at their- own wlckednesp, they paused a moment; the red fire leaped through tho building, In a twinkling the soft blue-black of the mid night tropic sky was hidden by a veil of crimson smoke, shot through and through with dazzling streaks; with rum seething in their veins, they danced the wild Jun gle dances of their forefathers to Jts light. With brains awhlrl, they staggered from one building to another. Brighter grew the glare; back Qn the hillsides an answering glare appeared. Long tongues of flame crept up the hills from the burn ing fields of cane. The sides of the plant ers' homes were marked by brighter, higher flames. Wilder and madder grew the chanting, merely hoarse howls of sav age joy now, all semblance of articulate words lost. The morning came unseen save for the lighting up- of the dense blue smoke that filled the streots. A planter rode bravely WE CURE Strictly Reliable I m &"& Special attention given to Varicocele, Contag ious Blood Diseases and Acute and Chronic Urethral and Prostatic Inflammations.

Third San Francisco Offlce, Into town, forgetting that these Conner slaves had tasted freedom and power. Maddened at the ruin of his estate, he rode straight Into "the mob, lashing Tight .and left with his heavy riding whip. For an Instant the crowd fell back, the old In stinct still strong. For an Instant It, seemed that daring would succeed. Then a hugo negro, his face bleeding from a cut of the lash, and working with pas sion, leaped forward and seized a stirrup. In an instant It was all over. A-swirl of half-naked black forms, the neigh of a dying horse, the death cry, half scream, half curse, of a human being, and It was done. Seized by a strange panic", the mob turned and fled. Of the deeds done that daV there re mains no record. Gaunt chimneys, tow ering like seared, ungainly monuments above the mouldering ashes of the fac tories around them, mile after mile of black, unsightly fields veiled In a deep blue smoke these alone could tell the tale. Strangely enough, the planter was tho only one to lose his life. Then the troops arrived. There were only 200 of them. Yesterday they would have been powerless against 6000 savages, but now reaction had set In. Frightened at their own daring, the negroes fled before the soldiers. Swiftly, relentlessly, the rioters were hunted down. There Is no record of the number that satisfied the thirst for vengeance with their lives, but tales are told of black forms lying huddled on burned cane heaps that were burled with scant ceremony, and presently some 600 were hanged by process of law. Yet, even In Its hour of triumph, the government repeated Its mistake. Tho labor law was declared abolished again, ahead of time. Although this happened 20 years ago, the planters still feel ap prehensions on the subject of the negroes. The conditions and surroundings of plan tation life are practically the same now as then. The negro child, from 6 to 13 years of age, Is compelled, theoretically, to attend the public school: practically he escapes much of It, as every year the family moves Into a new district In search of work, and It must all be begun over again. During this time he has learned, what? To stumble through the Srst reader, the most elementary geograpny, arithmetic only as far as fractions, and a few words of Danish, learned by rote and almost Instantly forgotten. After that he must take up his machete and begin the dreary hunt for work. There Is practically no place open to him save the cane fields and, in these dark days with the slender profits of tho sugar crop dropping, fraction by fraction, it is none too easy a matter to find work, even there. Hundreds nave left in the past few years, and the other islands have sent notices, conspicuously posted on the custom-house doors, stating that further emigration is useless, as they are no better off themselves. In this competition for work, wages have natuar ally dropped, and 20 cents a day is not an uncommon rate everywhere. The plant ers complain bitterly that the negro will work only when he pleases. About five days a week Is his average. A Httlo thought will show that this Is not sur prising. As a slave, he worked only when he had to; as a freed man, he works only long enough to satisfy his cheaply-supplied wants. It is not a pleasant task, this laboring in tho cane fields. While men have tried it, and died quickly in the effort. In planting time, the fierce sun beats remorselessly on his bended back. Ice cold showers sweep down, without warn ing, from, the mtmntalns and drench lilm through and through. At harvest he must take his place In the long line and swing the heavy machete hour after hour, cutting the thick stalks. With the per clslon of an army, the long line of black figures, naked to the waist, sweeps over tho vast field, the overseers, like officers, following with watchful eyes to detect a straggler or shirker. From a distance they look like a procession of huge black ants gnawing their way through a field of tender grass. Soon a deep, mellow voice begins to hum a familiar air; quickly It is taken up by tho others, until, swell ing Into a weird chant. It sweeps down the line, the flashing steel rising and fall ing In unison with its strange barbaric rhythm. The dry dust rises beneath their tread and settles in their nostrils, no breeze penetrates the dense cane growth, it Is stifling hot With the perspiration streaming from every pore, they move on, on, all through the weary day. Perhaps five days a week would satisfy the best of us. When the negro, fresh from the schools, finds labor such as this, he straightway settles down and takes unto himself a wife, wltlror without the formality of a wedding, as may seem most convenient. A wretched hut of palms and cane Is built well named a "trash" house and. his life work has begun. Small wonder if the rumshop, where the strong native liquor that brings forgetfulness at 2 cents a glass may be obtained, attracts him In his leisure hours. Still smaller wonder that the little knowledge he has gained fades utterly from his brain. As for his religion, well, the church Is very far, but the obeah man very near. Indeed. The parish priest, the Lutheran minister, they are, by all means, to bo respected, on occasion, heed ed, but they live In their neat houses near the churches. Well, the obeah man, with his whne hair and charms, he lives but two huts away, and is to be very greatly feared, indeed. A close friend of that terrible devil you hear so much about in tho churches, he can make your hair fall out and your flesh rot, with a few muttered words. He can even. If occasion requires, and you have sufficient money, give yeu certain curious herbs which, properly mixed with a rival's food, will end all trouble from that quarter. So his life runs, work, drink and constant dread of the obeah man. Bad Fire at Indian Reservation. EVERETT. Wash., March 29.
