NESS? RAKINO OVER Ot.l> r|I,\ROE8.
London, May _1.?There tree a dramatic ?cone to
dny In the committee-room off *.Yestmlnstcr Hull.
The l'nr'iiumentary committee Inquiring- Into the
Tiansvaril raid held another eeeaton, and in tbe
course of the examination of Mr. Rutherford Har?
ris, the former so. rrtary of the British Chartered
South Africa Company, at Cape Town, by Henry
Labouchere. the witness was asked whether ho had
e\?r heard of a ayndttmte erg*aj?aed for the purpose
of dealing in the securities of the Chartered Com
pony Mr. llnrrls replied:
! asa Riad you put that question. 1 bave giren
you a Ions time to prove the charges you made
against me." Then, turning to the chairman. Mr.
H.inis read an extract from Mr. Labouchere'??
apaech In the House of Commons on May 8, 1d??6,
and an extract from "Truth" of May 5, 1896. The
extract from "Truth" was an follows:
The main ob.lect of the raid was to annex the
rich minln?*: districts of the Transvaal to Rhodesia.
It is obvious that the first news of the raid would
can*.? a fall In shar? ?. 1 am prepared to prove that
a syndicate was formed Just prior to the raid, in?
cludine: a leading director (Mr. Harris was a
dlreetor of the companv. as well as Its secretarv
at Capu Town? In and one of th.? chief officials of
the Brtttah Chartered South Africa. Company, for
the purpose of making large bear sales. The seed
having thus been sown for securing a profit by the
1 mmeillate fall and an ultimate profit by rebuylng
When the raid was successful and a rich -lice of
the Transvaal had been added to the charter land.
Bt< ps were taken to carry out the conspiracy. Tho
tenor of tbe "cryptograms" shows that there was a
divergence of opinion between the Rhodeses (Cecil
Rhodes and his brother, Colonel Francis Rhodes?
and Alfred Hdi's representatives among the Re?
formers, and that those not connected with the
gang arare responsible for tho fallur?? of the scheme
These telegrama are damaging alike to the Char
tered Company and Mr. Rhodes. It is clear that
tbe raid was planned by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Bett
und the secretary of thi? Chartered South Africa
Company. ' The telegram from Hammond (John
Hoys Hammond, the American engineer) to
Rhode?, saying "i'annot arrange respective inter?
ests without Belt," shows that the aim wa? purely
for a Stock Exchange deal. Th<se miscreants,
therefore, planning a raid which must have led to
the death of many, and which was based on rob?
bery, were actually already disputtng in regard to
their respective shares of the plunder.
"Truth" then compared Cecil Rhodes to Jabes
Ralfour, "the first statesman to apply to Imperial
politics the methods of the shady company-pro
moter," and concluded as follows:
Had Cecil Rhodes remained I'remler of Cape Col?
ony, I am convinced that as soon as It suited his
purposes he would have turned on us (the British
Oovernment), and would have sought to cut the
chain which binds us to South Afri? a.
After finishing reading Mr. Harris turned to the
chairman and begged him to call upon Mr. Labou
chtre to Justify his statements, "which." Mr. Harris
added, "aro absolutely and maliciously false and
untrue."
Thero was a moment's silence, during which the
members of the committee looked curiously at Mr.
Labouchere. Then the latter said in a subdued
voice: ,,
"In order to give proof I ?hall have to cali a
number ot stockbrokers before the committee
The BecraUry of State for the Colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, thereupon sharply remarked:
"1 think It important that you should do so.
Replying to Sir Richard Webster, the Attorney
Genera!. Mr. Harris reiterated that Mr. LabOU
Chere'a statement was untrue from beginning to
end The witness next read an extract from the
"Oaulols," written last week and signed by Mr.
Labouchere. making similar charges.
Mr. Labouchere sal '. he was pn-pared to prove the
Charges The committee-room wai then cleared In
order to allow the committee to dlr.eus? the matter.
When the session was resumed the chairman an?
nounced that the committee condemnr I Mr. l?ab<?u
ohere for commenting on the rai.i While ihe Inquiry
was proee? Jing. took notice of Mr. Harris's denial
and added that it rested with Mr. Labouchere to
take the steps which he thought fit to meet the
denial
Lord Robert Cecil. coun.?el for Mr. Harris, then
asked leave to epeak. He said:
"Mr. Harris feels his honor and reputation at
F'.ak??. He has now shown that one niemher of the
committee ?? actuated by a violently hostile fi-eling
t war 1 him, and so long as Mr. Labjuchere Is a
member of the committee it is impossible f, r Mr.
Harris safely to commit his honor and reputation to
the committee."
Ti ils remark was greet?-1 with calls of "Or 1er!"
A moment later Mr. Harri, refused to be, furth??r
exAhUfjed by Mr. Labouchere unless the latter with?
dn w his charges.
On the motion of Sir William Hareourt the mm
mlttee-roooa wa? attain cleared. On resuming busi?
ness the chairman said he thought Mr. Harris's posi?
tion In the dispute must be wholly ?ailsfactory to
h!m. and the matter was then dropped.

FATHER KSF.IFP DEAD.
A TRIEST KNOWN TIH.i ?G?',??'FT THE WORLD HY
R___f01f <>F his WATnrt CUKE.
London, May 22. - A dispatch to "The Hilly
Chronicle" from Taris says that Father Knelpp.
well known throughout tl;* world because of his
Watet cure, I?, dead. Re had been suffering for
some days from inflammation of the lur.g?, and re?
ceived the last sacraments of the church a ?reek ng?.
at Woiishofen, Suabla. Subsequently, however, he
rallied, and It was thought early In the WM k lhat
he would recover.
?ehaatlan Knelpp was born on May IT. ltt, In
Stefansrled, Ravarla. He was a weak and siekly
boy. and was expected lo die of consumption In
his youth. He became a weaver, and followed that
trade till he reached his majority, when lie turned
to the Church and to medicine. In IMS he began
his experiment? according to the Ideas that have
since made him noted, and succeeded first in re?
storing himself to perfeet health. Then he hogan
treating the country people about him. and with a
success that caused his reputation to spread rapid?
ly. His work In this way was continued for many
years without pay. Father Knelpp receiving only
his stipend as a priest. A few years ago he pub?
lished an account of his treatment, entitle! "My
Water-Cure." which made him still more widely
known. He had all these years atended to his pa?
tients personally, giving them baths himself nnd
personally directing their treatment. Bo great
were the demands on his time that finally the
Knelpp-Verein was established, supported by char?
ity, to take charge of the work. Two years ago the
Pope Rent for Dr. Knelpp to come to Home nnd
treat him for ailments that nr?,.?.? from a disordered
stomach, and In hla cuse Dr. Kneipp wss highly
successful. The Kneipp Institution is now an Im?
mense affair, caring for twelve hundred patienta,
nnd with all OOnvi niemes, under the direction of
twelve resident physicians.
Father Knelpp a system was Introduced Into this
country last, summer, when s sanitarium accord?
ing to his methods was established In New? Jersey.
The chief elements of the system are the applica?
tion of sunshine, fresh air and water, lis most
striking feature is th?? early morning walk, bare?
footed, in the dew, or ?-ven In the snow, that is re?
quired of patients. Though this has attracted the
most attention, there are other more Important
matti rs Insisted on, ?uch as baths of certain kinds
and frequency, the use of clothing of a sort to ad?
mit light and a!r, the prohibition of alcohol, and
tho limitation upon a meat ?li? t.

(3) That the General Assembly approves of the
acrion of the committee and herewith qleohBfgeg the
Committee of Eleven.
Mr. McDougall began hi? report 'with the state?
ment tha? the report of hia as_ociate? omiU?d what,
in his opinion, wa3 necessary Information, essential
to Intelligent action by the Assembly, llrt differed
also as to the course to be pursued with regard to
the two properties in Fifth-ave.?the Lenox home?
stead at Twelfth-St and the new Stuart property at
Twentieth's*.
The committee had decided to confine Itself to a
conference with the Hoards of Hom?? and Foreign
missione, but Mr. McDougali thought that It was
proper 10 consider the history of the acquisition by
the Boards Of the two properties -and also ?Mrs.
Robert L. Smart's legacies. As the committee had
failed to bring these questions before the Assembly
or even to consider them, he felt that It was his
duty to do so. His conclusion was that the two
Hoards should return to the LSBOS homestead as
their home, and that the great store and office build?
ing should be sold at the proper time and under
wise management, and that Mrs, Stuart'? legacies
Of pW*jOm), now Invested In the new building, should
ba applied to the work of home and foreign mis?
sions. Mr. McDougali published letters from John
S. Kennedy and Dr. W, B. Htibbard. In which Mr.
Kennedy offered to take the Presbyterian Bunding
off the hands of the Boards on the basis of Its cost
to them, srlth interest adjusted at the rate of d per
cent per annum, so that the Hoards could leave the
building without either gain or loss of a single dol?
lar. This offer was made In September, IMC, but the
majority of the Committee Of Eleven reported that
there Is now no pending offer from any one to buy
the property nor haa there been since tho first meet?
ing of tho Committee of Eleven last July. ?Miss
Rachel I_ Kennedy'? prn:???t against th? sale of the
Lenox property and also her offer to place the build?
ing In condition to adapt It to the present ne, ,?s and
osea ?if the Hoards were also Included In the mlnor
Ity report.
GENERAL HARRISON'S ADVICE.
Genera] Harrleon said that the question of the
NeW-Tork building COUld be disposed of In a short
time if the commissioners wouhi look at Its prac?
tical aspect, Leaving himself out of the number,
be Wlahed to eall the attention of the members to
th?? names of the men on the majority report, who
were not exceeded in Intelligence, legal ability,
business ability ?>r consecration In the Presbyterian
Church. Ten of the eleven men said to the ?'hurch,
"Let things alone; do not disapprove the action of
the Hoards" The speaker would not say that con?
ditions might not arise In the business world or In
th? religious world which would chantre the atti?
tude of the Church toward the building in quei
tlon, but, "in the words ot another ex-President,"
lidded ih?? speaker, " ? condition and not a theory
confronts us.' '
it was some time '."fore Qeneral Harri?,,? coni.?
proceed, for the commissioners were qutcn to rec
Ognise the remark of Ihe other President, who, if
not a communicant, is a Presbyterian by birth and
mirria:'?.
Tb?? i,nil,ling in question, continued the speaker,
Is one of th?? ftneSI Offlca ?tru,-tur,-n in New-York
or any other city. The steps leading up to the ap?
pointment e>f in?- Committee of Eleven were then
recounted hastily and the conclusion resetted that
the Qeneral Assembly could not hold up the Hoards
of Home and Foreign Missions to reproach t.suss
former Assemblies had approved th?? action ol these
Hoard??, Bret In purchasing the property and then
in beginning the construction of ih?? new building
He referred to Mr. McDougali'? minority report,
which, h?? said, was the threshing of old straw
from which nothing could eom?? bul blinding dust.
Qeneral Harrison said thai if the question were s
new one, Shall the Boards erect a building? he
would not say thai the committee would recom?
nn nd such a course ?t this time, with business de
pri ion prevalent and wlih debts on the Boards,
etc but It is not a new question, in?- building is

when the question Of adopting a plan to raise the
r.-mainder of tlie money necessary to obtain the?
fXO.000 <?fr?red by John i>. Rockefeller is taken up
en Saturday It is probable that a suggestion
offered by the Baptist Home Missionary Society,
that all tho Baptist missionary societies combine
Snd employ tbe same agents to colleet for all the
societies, Will be agreed to. The money thus col?
lected Is to be paid Into a g?-neral treasury and
divided pro rata among the societies In proportion
to the size of the debt of each. This plan, If
adopted, will result In a reduction of the number of
collectors to such an extent that at bast 175,000 In
salaries and expenses will bo saved during the

RELIEF FOR IRELAND ALSO
MR. BALPOUR STATES THE NEW GOV?
ERNMENT policy.
TO TAKE TAXES OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
PROM THE IMPERIAL EXCHEQUER?IRISH
LEADERS AITROVE THE SCHEME.
London. ?May 21.-The First Lord of the Treasury
and Government leader, A. J. Balfour, made an
Important statement In the House of Commons to?
day regarding the Government's policy, which will
bo carried out next session, the objeet of which Is
to Rivo Ireland an equivalent for the relief In agri?
cultural rates given to England. The Government,
he said, proposes to ptace both the I'oor law and
the county administrations on a broad, popular
basis. The landlords must be relieve of all the
rural rates. At present the land-owners are liable
to half the poor rates, which the Government pro?
poses to pay hereafter out of the Imperial fund??.
The tenants are liable for the other half of the
po,,r rates and tho county cess. ???? Government
proposes hereafter to pay the county cess out of
th? Imperial funds. This double benefit to two
classes, Mr. 1'alfour explained, will enable tho Gov?
ernment to launch a scheme for local Kovernment
which, he believed, would work safely and
smoothly. He could not then give the, details of
this scheme, which would place a large charge
upon the Kxchequor; but, continued Mr. Balfour,
tt was a charge which the country at large and
the Cnlonists would not grudge if thereby the-y
could see thp way to carry out the reforms to
which they had pledged themselves. Mr. Balfour
was of the oplnon that every class of the com?
munity would be disposed to regard wltn favor
what he could not but think must prove on.? of the
greateat reforms carried out under the safest con?
ditions evr suggested In the House of Commons.

say...
"We do not venture the prediction of a practical
?ucee?? for this extension of local government In
Ireland, but Its establishment will, at any rate, de?
molish some plausible arguments for Home Rule."
"Tho Daily News" reminds Mr. Halfour that he
failed to carry a similar Irish local government bill
in U03, and ad is:
"Assuming that the bill passes, It will not be In
any sens.? Home Rule; but the creation of popu?
larly elected councils in Ireland will be a strong
liver In tho hands of the Nationalists. We shall
watch th.? experiment with great Internet."
"Tii,? Daily Chronicle" says:
"Already busy tuliKU'-s are saying that the new
departure Is another victory for Mr. Chamberlain.
If BO, It may be found that the new scheme will
blossom out into the full splendor of his famous
proposal for provincial councils. Anvway, it prom?
ises to help solve some difficult questions; and,
tl?, refer?, wo wish It well."
