Healthy rats and mice Inoculated with pare cultures of this becillus succumbed to the typical plagus symptoms; and Yerlin bad thus accom. plished the first steps in his investigation--the Identification of the specffe viras of plague. Versin was at first of opinion that rats were the principal disseminators of the disaner, for healthy mice shut up with a dead plague-stricken rai | rapidly developed the disease and succumbed:; bal be noticed later the curious fact that, in the i little room where he carried out his dost-mortem | examinations, immense numbers of dead files were scattered about in all directions. He, therefore, determined to ascertain if this wholesale slangbier of fles had any connection with plaque efection; so taking some of these insects, and first removing the head, wings, and feet, he pounded up their bodies la broth. An examina- tion later of the liquid exhibited masses of ball closely resembling the now familiar plague microbe; to place their identity beyond denbt ha inoculated some of this broth into mice, with the result that the latter died of plague. That files materially nusisted in the spread of the discase was thus established. With the slender accommodation and primitive meann, at his disposal, it was impossible for Versla to further purase his investigations, and prepare a plague antitoxic, and he, therefore, forwarded cultures of kis bacillus to the Institut Fasteur, and from here, in the course of the following year, was published the memoir de- scribing the production of the anti-piagus serum which is now being so urgently requisitioned far service in India.

THE JAMESON RAID INQUIRY.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND MR. RHODES.
In order to guard the railway lu the Prolectorale, and at first there was a refusal on administrative grounds, Mr. Chamberlain saying that thay Could come to an agreement with the native chiels there would be no objection to the police, You alio asked for a strip for the rallway ?— Yes, and that arrangement was carried out,
FAVOURABLE TO THÉ CHIRE. Meanwhile the chiefs had come to England to protect their faterests, and they were asked to ly to come to terms with, the Chartered. Com- pany 7-Yes, I was told no.
Alier two months no agreement had bern come to, and thereupon negoliniless took place at the Colonial" Odice, kad I was asked to mediate between the company and the chiefs ?——- Yes.
And an arrangement was fually come to. Was that favourable to the chiefs ?--Iiblak very favourable,
So do I, Mr. Rhodes (aughter). This got over my objections, to the transference and I agreed to complete the cession of the territory? Yes.
Tols was no disadvantage to the Government. We saved the cost of the palice. £49,000 year I think it was £60,000.
And we were also to save £200,000 promised you by my predecessor as a subsidy for the ralf- way?—Yes, and be made a most excellent arrangement (laughter).

THE DISCONTENT IN JOHANNESBURG Now as to the discontent in Johannesburg. You had been aware of it for a long while. the discontent confined to the commercial classes) -No; it was general; it was not confined to the capitalists.
Do you think the working men of Johannes- barg shared the feelings of the capitalists 21 am sure they did.

If the reform which, the Ufilanders desired had been conceded to them, and their grievances had been removed, is it possible they might not have cared about the franchise 7-I think they would bave demanded the franchise following that, for © covers everything else.
Did the working men suffer from the educa- tion laws ? They were exceedingly angry that their children had to be taught in the Dutch. language. Suppose we insisted in the Cape |that Dutch children should be instructed through the medium of the English language-wby, there would be a revolution,
·
How far was the agitation substantial, or how. far manipulated from outside ?-I think it was substantial: It had been golog on for years.
Did you think it necessary to start the move ment, or was it already a strong movement ?—
You cannot start a revolution. You cannot in duce people to risk their lives unless they feel a koan Interest There was a strong movement.
As Prime Minister your first duty was to the Cape Colony, and how was the Caps interested in the Johannesburg rewolnilen ?-Oh, if it haď been successful wo should have had free trade for all our produce, and probably a union of Africa on several federal questions,
You considered the action of the Transvaal
Government had been hosille, and that, there fore, a change of Government would have been desirable in the interests of Cape Colony ?—Yes, specially as the leaders of the movement in Johannesburg had agreed that we should have free trade in sil our produce.
How long were "you Fremler -About six years.
THE FLAG INCIDENT, Before this recent trouble, had you any reason to fear conflicts arising out of circumstances in the Transvaal in which possibly the interests of Cape Colony might have been concerned? Do you remember la 1870 the flag Incident 7-Yes in Johannesburg the flag was pulled down. went up with Sir H. Loch and saw the President. There was some dangerous excitement then 7 -Oh, very dangerous.

If, in the ordinary course of business, you had desired to enter upon some new commercial anterprises requiring money, I suppose you would have opined an account with the Char- tered Company ?—Yes, there were matters con- nected with the North, and many other iblogs, and the staff at the Cape kept accounts.
Il you had been working a new claim, and had wanted toco or £20,000, you would not have hesitated to open an account temporally with the company for the money -Certainly.
Occasionally you wore a very large creditor 7---- Q so, and remained so a long time.
Therefore you would not hesitate to take, an gerdraft 1-Certainly not.
When you entered upon the political enter; maize of assisting the rayolution and wanted money, it was therefore in the ordinary course that you opened an account with the Chartered Company?-Exacily, and my
