THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1896. HAD PLANNED TO CAPTURE KRUGER Plot of Jameson and His " British Freebooters Exposed. T0 ANNEX THE RAND. Were to Have Taken Pretoria and With It Transvaal’s President. RHODES THE PRIME MOVER. Damaging Telegram Sent to the South African Premier by John Hays Hammond. LONDON, Ex6., May 5.—Truth claims to have unearthed additional details of the conspiracy leading up to the Jameson raid, which paints the participators in the plot in still darker colors than have the dis- closures made by the Transvaal Govern- ment. Truth says it is credibly informed that President Kruger possesses evidence that the intention of Dr. Jameson was to march upon Pretoris first, to seize President Kruger and then to proceed to Johannes- burg with the President as a prisoner. In an editorial the paper ailates in still more embittered terms on the Jameson raid. It says: “The main object of the raid was to annex the rich mining district of the Transvaal to Rhodesia. It is obvious that the first news of the raid would cause a fall 1n shares. I am prepvared ‘o prove that a syndicate was formed just prior to the raid, including a leading director in and one of the chief officials of the British Chartered South Atrica Company, for the purpose of making large bear sales. “The seed having thus been sown for securing & profit bv the immediate fall, and an ultimate profit by rebuying when the raid was successful and a rich slice of the Transvaal had been added to Chartered land, steps were taken to carry out the conspiracy. “The tenor of the ‘cryptograms’ shows that there was a divergence of opinion be- tween the Rhodes (Cecil Rhodes and his brother Colonel Francis Rhodes) and Al- fred Beit, representatives among the re- formers, and that those not connected with the gang were responsible for the failure of the scheme. “These telezrams are damning alike to the Chartered Company and to Mr. Rhodes. Itis clear that the raid was planned by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit and the secre- tary of the Chartered South Africa Com- pany. The telegram from Hammond to Rhodes, saying, ‘Cannot arrange respec- tive interests without Beit,’ shows that the aim was purely for a stock exchange deal. “These miscreants, therefore, planning a raid which must have led to the death of many, and which was based on robbery, were actually already disputingin regard to their respective shares of the plunder.” The article then proceeds to attack Cecil Rhodes, comparing him to Jabez Balfour, ‘‘the first statesman to apply to imperial volitics the methods of the shady com- pany promoter.’ Truth then concludes as follows: *‘Had Cecil Rhudes remained Premier of Cape Colony, I am convinced that as soon as it suited his purposes he would have turned on us (the British Government)and sought to cut the chain which binds us to South Africa.” eetigts il IN WITH A BAD CROWD. How John Hays Hammod Came to Grief in the Transvaal. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 5.—Fletcher Webster Jewell, wno secured the signa- tures of thirty-five members of Congress to a petition for clemency for John Hays Haromond, the American sentenced to death for treason by the Transvaal Gov- ernment, is in this city. Mr. Jewellis an American, but has lived in Johannesburg three years and is a personal friend of Mr. Hammond, Mr. Jewell will start for the Transvaal Baturday and will take the petition with him. “Iam a Transvaal man through and through.” Mr, Jewell said to-day, “but Il naturally feel a great deal of sympathy for my countrymen in prison. They are suffering because they got into a bad crowd and were misled. They got into the revolutionary schemes too deeply to withdraw without the imputation of being traitors and cowards. It is possible that decisive action will have been taken when I reach Johannes- barg, but I shall present the petition tothe President unless the prisoners have been liberated. To obtain any concession from the Boer Government it must be dealt with fairly and respectfully. Nothing can be gained by dealing through the English officials. The Boers hate the English, but they favor Americans. Hammond has done great work in the gold fields and was one of the popular men in the Transvaal, but he was fearfully misled. He was anxious for reform. but should have waited for reforms obtained under the Boer Government. *‘Cecil Rhodes and Jameson were anx- ious to annex the Transvaal to the British sessions. The only ones in Johannes- 3375 who were fully cognizant of these ghns were Colonel Rhodes, Lionel L. hillips, Charles Leonard and George Karrar; but the Americans, when they finally obtained knowledge of the real ob- ject of the risine, refused to join init. I lieve the imprisoned Americans will be ireed soon. They may be excluded from the territory as a punishment, but I don’t think this course will be taken with Ham- mond, as he is too valuable a man for the development of the mining resources of the country.” KRUGER MAK 4 SPBEQH. In Opening the Volksraad He Reviews the Recent Events. - PRETORIA, Sours ArricA, May 5.— The Volksraad was opened yesterday afiernoon. President Kruger in his ad- dress to the Chambers reviewed the events of the year. He began by saying that re- cent events, which had been due to malevo- lence and selfish objects, had interrupted the rest and peace of the country. “It has ever been my object,’ he further said, *‘to promote the development and prosperity of the republic in a peaceable manner, acd I expect with the fullest con- fidence that during this session the Volks- raad will assist in restoring rest and peace so that through our united co-operation the country may. flourish and become pros- perous to the benefit of all. Despite its 1roubles, the country continues 1o be in friendly relations with the foreign P President Kruger also expressec hope for a closer union with the Orange Free State and declared that the mining indus- tries of the country were pros us, the native affairs peaceful and the financial condition of the republic sound. The presidents of both chambers were re-clected. —_—— PARLIAMENT MUST PROBE. Sir William Harcourt on the South Afri- can Kevelations. LONDON, Exg.,, May 5.—Sir William Harcourt, leader of the opposition in the House ot Commons, spoke at a meeting to-nignt of the National Liberal Club. In the course of his speech he said the state of affairs in South Africa was deplorable. The recent grave and momentous revela- tions must be discussed by Parliament in order to get at the bottom” of the transac- tions which bad cast a dark shadow on England’s name. The Liberals, ne added, would support the Government, as he be- lieved it would take measures to clear the nation’s reputation from complicity in the Transvaal raid. The Standard will to-morrow say that Mr. Chamberlain bas received a message from Cecil Rhodes, in which the latter states that he places himself unreservedly in Mr. Chamberlain’s hands. Mr. Rhodes offers to resign his membership in the Privy Council, to retire from the director- shir of the British South Africa Company and to return to England if Mr. Chamber- lain advises him to do so. It is understood the matter was discussed by the Cabinet Tuesday, and it is said that Mr. Chamber- lain will announce the decision arrived at in the House of Commons on Wednesday. The Daily News will to-morrow say it is understood that before he returned to Africa, Cecil Rhodes left his resignation with the directors of the British South Africa Company, to be tendered whenever desired. — Lord Leech Again Acoused. PARIS, Fraxce, May 5—The Pretoria correspondent of the Temps reaffirms that Sir Henry Brougham Leech, now Lord Leech of Drgaw when Governor of Cape Colony and British High Comuissioner in South Africa, offered to aid a revolution- ary movement in the Transvaal, and this in face of Lord Leech’s denial of the origi- nal report. REBEL LOSSES REPORTED. Spanish Accounts of Victories in Recent Skirmishes—Filibusters Ordered Shot. HAVANA, Cusa, May 5.—Two rebel bands attacked the town of Guanajay, but were repulsed with heavy loss.

O e GAMBLED WITH HIS PILFERINGS. Theodore Graham's Shortage Believed to Exceed Three Hundred Million Dollars. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 5.—Noth- ing is known of the whereabouts of Theo- dore Graham,a member of the firm of Young, Smith, Field & Co., importers of hosiery, notions and white goods, who dis- appeared at the close of business on Thurs- day. The fact that Graham, who was the financier of the house, appropriated a large amount of the firm’s money was reiterated to-day by Isaac 8. Smith, the elder mem- ber of the firm, but the amount of the peculation Mr. Smith refused to state. It is believed, however, that Graham's shortage is between $300,000 and $400,000, and it is said that all of this was lost in stock speculation. It was stated by Mr. Smith that the transaction took place several years ago, and that Graham had succeeded in covering the shortage. No effort is apparently being made to capture the absconding partner, and Smith declares that the affair will not embarrass the firm. As an outcome of the discovery of Gra- ham’s misappropriations, John Field, tte other member of the firm and ex-Post- master of Philadelphia, will resign the vresidency of the Mechanics’ National Bank in order to devote his whole time to the firm’s business, and Mr. Smith, who was in California on a pleasure tour, was bastily called to Philadelphia. Grabam is 59 years old, and, with his wife, has been prominently identified with Presbyterian church affairs. He had been amember of the firm for a number of years and was trasted implicitly.

A NOTABLE CHARACTER Reaped Fabulous Wealth From the Nitrate Beds of Chile and Peru THE PRINCE OF WALES' BANKER Patronized the Turf on an Elaborate Scale and Made Some Hend- some Public Gifts. LONDON, Exc., May 5.—Colonel North, the nitrate king, died to-day in the ofl;ces of the guano syndicate. He was seized with an illness after partaking of some oysters and died within half an hour. The shells of the oysters which he ate were taken possession of by the police for the purpose of ascertaining if the cysters were fit to be eaten, though the general supposition is that Colonel North died from heart trouble. Colonel J. T. North was a native of Leeds, and owed his sobriquet to the fact The Late Colonel North. [From a pliotograph.} of his having accumulated immense wealth through nitrate beds lying partly in Peru and partly in Chile. Through clever maneuvering Colonel North and his syndicate obtained govern- mental concessions which confirmed him in possession of these valuable deposits and in this way secured a practical mo- nopoly of the trade of the worid. The profits, long unsuspected, were tremen- dous. They made of Colonel North, other- wise an adventurer, one of the wealthiest men in the British empire. The assurance of this wealth made him socially ambi- tious. It is said that he contributed vast sums mn the shape of gifts to the Prince of Wales and it is undoubtedly true that helet that gentleman in on the ground floor in various enterprises which mar- velously fattened the princely exchequer. In the course of time he became one of the recognized friends of the Prince oi Wales and patronized the turf on a scale of liberality which others might envy but could not hope to excel, In January, 1889, he presented Kirkshall Abbey and grounds to his native town, and also made handsome contributions to the funds of the Leeas Infirmary and the Yorkshire College of Scierce. He received the honorary freedom of the borough on January 25, 1889, In his way he wasaremargable man, but with peculiarities which prevented him from either being beloved or becom- ing popular. WOMEN ND THE CLERGY, Progress of the Controversy at the Methodist Episcopal Conference. “Race, Co'or or Sex Should Not Exciude Any One From Church Offices.” CLEVELAND, Osio, May 5.—Bishop Andrews called the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church to order this morning at 9 o’clock. A committee of nine will consider the interests of the American Bible Society. A contest be- tween the lay and ministerial delegates took place over the appointment of a committee to consider the rights of lay delegates. A dozen motions and amendments were offered and a number of sharp speeches were made. It was finally decided to ap- point & committee consisting of one lay and one ministerial delegate for each con- ference district to consider the posi- tion of the lay delegates. It was moved that when committees are to be appointed having equal lay and ministerial mem- bership the lay delegates select their ;mn members of the committee. This was ost. At 10 o'clock the debate on the woman question was resumed. Daniel Stevenson, president of the Union College of Ken- tucky, spoke for the admission of the women. He said: “The time has gone by when anybody shall be excluded from chm'?h offices ‘on account of ruce, color or sex. The Rev. Dr. Neely of Philadelphia, who is leading the fight agaiust the women, said: “This question i not one that in- volves chivalry or popular demand. You can’t ordain women. It isa part of Meth- odism that the governing power is with the men,” John F. "Coples of Portlang, Or., said: “I came from a land where the grand women of the Metnodist church bavedone 80 much for Methodism that it is time we men think of it and take off our hats.” James Harlan of Towa, ex-United States Senator and member of Lincoln’s Cabinet, said: “Ministers and laymen constitute | the membership of this body. The wiole uestion turns on the question, Who a decided that laymen are all those who are not members o¥the annual conferences. ““Women are not members of the annual conferences. Now, by what right or what interpretation of the law of the church do fou intend to keep women out? The word aymen means non-professional, and in the Methodist Church it means all mem- bers except those who are professional.” The Rev. Dr. Buckly of New York said: “The only time the conference has ever undertaken to do so violentan act as it Dow proposes to do was before the war, when it bisected the church. Thatact has been condemned to-dsy by the leading Methodists. *'If you admit these women in the in- ts of peace it will be tne peace of air. It will disgrace the conference stir up men to do as they please. Pause, brethren, before you commit this awlul mistake.” ‘Warm speeches were made by President Harris of the East Maine Uonference, James F. Chaffee of Minneapolis, J. R. D‘E of New York, Rev. Dr. Emery Miller of Des Moines, Judge H. R. Brill of Min- nesota and others for and against the ad- mission of women. The Rev. Dr. Jacob Rothweiler of the Central German Conference said: *“I am looked upon as the representative of the Germans. We, as a people, do _not be- lieve in seatiment, and we think it neither right nor constitutional to admit women to the general conferences. ‘It has been charged that we Germans defeated the women in the annual con- ferences. If we have, I am proud of it; I rejoice in it, because we have saved the lay delegates.” If we adopt the ma{'lority report you will demoralize the church.”” The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Stafford of Iowa moved that 1 vote be taken on the ques- tion at 10 A. M. to-morrow. Rev. H. L. Gaw of 8t. Louis wanted more time. Rev. Stafford’s motion ordering the previous question was laid on the table. The cenference adjourned until 8:30 to- morrow, when the debate on the woman question will be resumed gy LOWERED A STATE RECURD. Bridget Clipped Off Half & Second in a Five-Furlong Race.

Four New Battleships Are De- manded by Almost a Two- Thirds Vote. A CONFERENCE AGREED UPON. The Depleted Condition of the Treas. ury Is the Argument Used by the Minority. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 5.—The battle over the naval appropriation bill was fought in the House to-day again, and there was more vigorous opposition to the provisions authorizing the construction of four battleships than was made when the bill was originally under consideration— when the fight was between four and six battleships. But the effort to concur in the Senate amendment, reducing the num- ber from four to two, was defeated—ayes 81, noes 141. The fight was not at all par- tisan. Sayers (D.) of Texas made the motion to concur, and was ably supported by Cannon (R.) of Illinois, chairman of the Commit- tee on Appropriations, who pointed out that, with only two battle-ships provided for, the revenues of the Government for the four years of the next administration —which he said would be that of a Re- publican President—would be mortgaged by the appropriation bills of this session to the extent of $25,000,000 a year. Boutelle (R.) of Maine, chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, stoutly maintained the desirability and propriety of constructing four ships, and he was assisted in the argument bty Cummings (D.) of New York. The latter gentieman arraigned the Senate for its action upon appropriation and revenue bills in the last Congress, asserting that it had virtually violated the provisions of the constitution in respect to the former, and as to the latter, it bad compelled the House to agree to a tarift bill full of blunders, from which the country had ever since been suffering. The request for a Senate conference on the naval appropriation bill was agreed to after the vote upon Sayers’ motion. The question of concurring in the Sen- ate amendments to the naval apppopria- tion bill reducing the number of new bat- tleships was called up by Boutelle (R.) of Maine and Sayers (D.) of Texas addressed the House in favor of his motion to con- cur. He expressed the opinion that this was a business question and that no poti- ties were involved. He directe ! the atten- tion of the House to the estimated reve- nues for the next fiscal year, which were placed by the Secretary of the Treasury at $464,793,000 including the postal revenues. The appropriations that had passed the House amounted to §386,000,000. If to these be added the permanentap- propriations, amounting in round num- bers to $119,000,000, there was a total appropriation of $505,000,000, as against estimated revenues of $464,000,000. Boutelle (R.) of Maine expressed regret that the gentleman from Texas and those who agreed with bim had not vouchsafed these economical views at a time when the attitude of Congress and a part of the pub- lic press might have been described as “flamboyant.”” There was no tel ing, he said, what influence they might have then had upon legislation and good sense. He referred to the action of the House at the time the bill was passed, stating that the Committee on Naval Affairs found from its first meeting a pressing demand from members of the House, a beliigerent aggressiveness, that it should go beyond what it recommended. There was a great deal of Cuba in the air then. Cummings (D.) of New York followed Boutelle in opposition to the motion to concur. He recalled the action of the Sen- ate lust year on this bill. After further debate, Sayers’ motion to concur in the Senate amendment, re- ducing the number of ships from four to two, was rejected—ayes 81, noes 141. Boutelle moved that the Senate’s request for a conference be concurred in, and it was agreed to. And then, on motion of Dingley (R.) of Maine, the House at 4:15 P. M. adjourned until to-morrow.
