RHODES

Cecil, ama ed his fortune in the KimDerley mines. He became Premier of Cape Colony in 1890, and first attracted much notice in Britain by his gift of.£10,000 in 1891 to the cause of Home Rule. He was the chief mover in obtaining mining rights in Mash on a land and Mat abele land, and was chairman of the British South Africa Company till 1896. His aim is to unite South Africa in matters of tariff, railways, law, and coinage, but with local governments. Rhodesia is called after him. He resigned his premiership in 1896 after the James on Raid. The coolne and the tact which ensured the succe of those negotiations with the natives, won for Mr. Rhodes the more flattering than pronounceable surname of Umlamulanmkunzi—the Dull that separates the two fighting bulls, otherwise the Peacemaker.
