This is a digital copy of a book thaï was prcscrvod for générations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's bocks discoverablc online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose légal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia présent in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journcy from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE 

It is not without certain misgivings that the first édition of the Anglo-Afrioa 
Who and Biographical Sketch Book is offered to a critical public. The fie 
it is intended to cover is an enormous one. It includes a continent, and emb 
représentatives of diplomacy, administration, politics, arms, literature, fina 
commerce. It would therefore be not a little surprising if this first édition c 
références to ail those who are justly entitled to a place in its pages, and t 
with the satisfied approval of those who are responsible for its production, 
may perhaps claim that, incomplète as it is, it contains many records of Anglo- 
which are not readily obtainable in any similar work of référence, and it is only n 
to add that we hope to remedy its sins of omission and commission in future <

Town Quard during the late Boer War. He 
has always been an enthusiastio i^)ortsman, 
and has during the last f ew years been Capt. 
of the Maritzburg Golf Club. He was married, 

1876, to Alice, dau. of the late Hon. John 
Millar, M.L.C., of Durban. 

BECK, Db. Johannes Hendricus Mehono, 
M.L.A., has represented the électoral division 
of Worcester in the Cape Législative Assembly 
for some yecurs. He is a member of the Bond, 
and was last retumed unopposed at the General 
Election in 1904. 

BEHR, H. C, Consulting Mechanical Engi- 
neer to the Consolidated Goldfields of S.A. He 
was the fîrst winner of the gold medal and pre- 
mium of 50 guinects for the best paper contri- 
buted on Deep Level Mining questions to the 
Institution of Mining and Metallurgy. His 
subject was " Winding Plants for Great Depths." 

BEIT, Alfred, of 26, Park Lane, W., of 
Jewin Water, necu* Welwyn, Herts, and of 
London Wall Buildings, E.C., was bom in 
Hamburg in 1853, and after receiving a sound 
commercial éducation, went with a few thou- 
sand pounds to Kimberley, where the great 
firm of Wemher, Beit & Co. was originally 
f ounded. But the disoovery of the Rand Gold- 
fields greatly increased the sphère of the firm's 
opérations. Already exercising the greatest 
influence over the destinies of the De Beers 
Mines, of which he is a Ufe govemor, Mr. Beit 
Boon began to acquire the control of a large 
proportion of the pick of the Rand outcrop 
daims, supplementing thèse holdings with a 



more or less continuons Une of deep level daî 
€tlong Ûie main reef séries, which were ao 
merged in the huge mining corporation kâo> 
as the Rand Mines, Limited, of which B 
Beit is a Johannesburg director, with a se 
on the London Committee. To mention t 
other mining undertakings which come entire 
or partly under the œgis of Mr. Beit's fir 
would be to name some thirty or forty of tl 
most prospérons and best managed of the Rat 
properties, although of thèse, in addition to tl 
Rand Mines, Ltd., he only figures on the Boeux 
of the Robinson Coy., and the " H.F." C03 
He is also a director of the Consolidated Co 
Bultfontein mine. 

But Mr. Beit*s interests are not limited t 
gold and diamonds. From the inception of th 
Chartered Co. he has been one of its most activ 
directors, aad a strong supporter of Mr. Rhodei 
in his policy of Impérial, territorial, aad railwai 
expansion. His eamest désire to ccury oui 
the partly completed projects bequeathed te 
him by his friend aad colleague, led him to makc 
an extended tour through Rhodesia in the 
autumn of 1902, the immédiate effect of which 
was the removal of the more pressing hind- 
rances to the prosperity of its colonists, more 
especially those which affected the working 
élément. The old faulty mininglaw was to be 
amended ; the 50 per cent, clause to be reduced 
to 30 per cent. ; diamond prospecting to be 
allowed ; post and telegraph rates to be reduced ; 
department for native affairs and agriculture 
to be instituted, etnd railway construction to 
be pushed on. 

A man with such responsibilities and interests 
needs to be something more thetn a financial 
genius, and perhaps one of his most fortunate 
attributes is his perspicuity in judging character 
and associating himseif with the right people. 
Thus it is safe to say that no other fimi contains 
such a combination of men of brains and finan- 
cial probity as the firm of Wemher, Beit & Co. 
€md the aJlied firm of H. Eckstein & Co., who 
a^t as their Transvaal représentatives, and 
between them they are perhaps second only to 
the house of Rothschild in the magnitude of 
their opérations and the amplitude of their 
finemcial resources. Mr. Beit's firm is of course 
not free from those attacks which are periodi- 
C€dly directed against the great financial houses. 
In the case of the libel uttered by Mr. A. B. 
Markham, M.P. (q.v.)> which was so unre- 
reservedly withdrawn, it is characteristic of the 
firm that they abstained from asking for the 
costs in the case.

Anglo-African Who's Who 



Mr. Beit himself is reserved and soxnewhat 
délicate» as most men are who develop their 
intellectucd strength at the expenso of their 
physical force. Neverthelees, he has an extra- 
ordînary capacity for haxd work, and while he 
commonly calculâtes in millions he has that 
grasp of détail which ensures bis schemes being 
sucoessfully oarried through. Although Ger- 
man by birth, he is a naturalized Englishmeui, 
and apart f rom the huge tract of country which 
he has helped to bring under the British âag, 
he has large ide£is on such questions of national 
importance as technical éducation, to advance 
which his firm has contributed in princely 
fashion. 

During the late S.A. Wcur he was a 
munificent supporter of the I.L.H., and it wa^ 
owing to his generous fînancial aid that the 
régiment was, after the relief of Ladysmith,, 
re-horsed in time for it to take part in the relief 
of Mafeking. 

Bramfontein Forest, Parktown, near Johan- 
nesburg, consisting of about 200 acres of free- 
hold ground, was recently presented to the 
Johannesburg Town CouncU by Messrs. Wem- 
her, Beit & Ce. and Mr. Max Michaelis (a 
former partner in the firm) for the purposes of 
a public park, which will be known as the 
Hermann Eckstein Park. Mr. Beit has a fine 
collection of pictures, and meûntains a racing 
stable in Germany.

. BELLINGHAM, Hon. Païupca Solouon, 
H.L.C., was bom in 1S34 at Ultenhoge, which 
be repreaented for many yeara on the Diviaional 
CoiincU. He was an offico-bearer in the D.R. 
ChuTch, and ci prominent Bond leader in his 
division. He was retumed at the head of the 
poU in 1891 for the South-Eastem Province 
in the Cape Législative Council. Mr. Bslling-

BELLI8, l^ouAa K-, of Croydon, Surrey. 
was bom in Liverpool in 1841, and çducated at 
the Liverpool Coll. At the early âge of Sfteen 
he entered the Liverpool office of MeasrB. Forbes, 
Forbea A Co., Eaat India merchants of London. 
Mr. Bellis shortly afterwarda came to London, 
nhero he entered seriously upon a buaîuesa 
career. For eighteen yetu^ he remained nith 
a well knonn fina then doing an important West 
Indian trade, and rose from the loweBt pOBitiiin 
tothatot manager. On the dissolution of the firm 
in the Weat lodia trade, be atarted for himself 
in 1874, and foraeeing the great future nf the 
turtle trade, he kept it well before hiro in the 
midat of hia other undertakint^a. To a man of 
bis enterpriaing character and business capocity 
a, scheme for the importation of the lii'ing tuùm^ 
upon ft scale never before attempted, was no 
Booner thougbt of than he made extensivo 
arrangementa to carry it out. Mr. Bellis has 
earned the sobriquet o£ " Turtle King." That 
title is beyond dispute, for throughout the 
length and breadth of the land there is not 
another merohant dealing on the same colossal 
scale, as a visit to the présent offices in Bury 
Street, St. Mary Axe. will quickly prove. Every 
fortnight the West India Royal Mail bringa a 
Bupply, dealers througbout the coiintry looking 
to Mr. Bellia for the fulSlment of their orders. 
Not onlj' ÏB he acltnowledged asthehead of the 
business in England, but his famé ia eqnally 
recognized throughout Europe, and he contrôla 
the achooners which catch the turtles from 
amongst the coral islands in the Heiican Gulf. 
\nth the energy and enterpriae characteristic 
to him, Mr. Bellis bas not limited his effort; 



to one brandi of trade. He is oow toking m 
keenly active part in opening a trade witb 
Tarkwa, on the Oold Coaat, and the resulls up 
to the firesent time bave amply justiBed his 
foremght. He haa also for the paat seventoen 
years been engaged in importing Turkish leaf 
tobooco, at first only on a small saale, but it 
haa developed very conaiderably, «nd is now 
quite an important business. He is pro- 
moter and director of the Tarkwa Glold Cosst 
Trading Co.^now a succesaful oompany. Hia 
name ia alao well known in connection with 
the exploitation of Uie Welsbach Incandeeconl 
Light. Many other minor inventions were 
also brought out by him, including the Fleuss 
Tubelese Tyre, the original syndicale proving a 
great success, as nas the case with ail the ven- 
tures to which he haa lent his name and given 
his oonaideration. Mr. BeUis bas remded for 
many years in Cioydon, and bas taken an active 
part in the local lïFe of the towo, but has never 
been perauaded to accept public office in Croydon 
or elsewhere.

BIRCHALL, Chables, of Liverpool; n 
bom in 1842, and entered the service of t 
London and North-Westem Railway Compai 
at a very early âge» and the business traudi 
he recMved in the few years he remained wî 
that concem stood him in such good stead th 
the intricacies of conunercial life thereafti 
ceune extremely easy. At the end of tweni 
years' f aithful work in the service of the f ound 
of the ** Journal of Commerce," he became soî 
proprietor of this well-known orgcui. 

In a quiet and unobtrusive way he has don 
a great deal towards the improvement of Sout 
and West Africa, for as proprietor of the lAven 
pool and Manchester " Journal of Commerce ' 
and Chairman of the company which owns th 
" Financier and BuUionist," ail the weight c 
his influence has for many years -past beei 
exerted in the direction of promoting a bettei 
knowledge of the Dark Continent on the pari 
of Englishmen, and a greater development ol 
the vsust resources of AMca by the aid of Britisli 
capital. At a time when Western Africa was a 
terra incognita to the vast mass of the people oi 
this country, the newspapers which Mx. Birch- 
all so ably controls in the North of England 
loudly proclaimed its great possibilities, and 
boldly €uiked for railways, better govemment, 
and more gênerai récognition, an advoccKîy 
which can claim to hâve been the chief means 
of the wonderful latter-day development of 
such places as Ashanti and the Gold Coast. As 
one of the principal personages who r^gulate 
the policy of the *' Financier and Bullionist," 
both South and West AMca hâve to thcmk him 
for the uncompromising and unflinching manner 
in which the interests of that country hâve 
always been placed bef ore the public, wMlst his 
belief in the future of Africa htis ever been 
very practically demonstrated by the posses- 
sion of large fînancial interests in many of the 
concems at présent engaged in gold production 
and gênerai development. Mr. Birchall is 
one of the most populcir and influential men 
in the city of Liverpool, where, besides pro- 
ducing the " Journal of Commerce," he con- 
ducts a large advertising and printing business. 
The whole of his commercial career has been 
Uved in the great city on the Mersey, and a 
nearly equally long residential connection with 
the Wirral Peninsula on the other side of the 
river htis led to his taking quite a number of 
pubUc duties, including that of County Council- 
lor for Cheshire, €uid Chairman of the School 
Attendance Committee of the local School 
Board. Perhaps Mr. BirchcJl's future repu-

Anglo-African Who's Who 



tation rests more on his philanthropie work 
than on anything else, for in establishing the 
famous Christmeis " hot-pots " at Liverpool, 
he haâ founded a benevolent scheme whose 
famé has travelled ail over the world. In 
almost every plan for helping the poor and the 
needy in Liverpool and in Wirral he takes the 
keenest interest, and on the School Bocird and 
the County Council, with which he has been so 
long associated, there is no harder worker.

by which the latter aeknowledged the supremcMîy 
of Great Brîtedn in Matabeleland. Mr. J. Scott 
Keltie, in his book, *' The Partition of Africa," 
Baya it would seem that the first person to actually 
step forw£Lrd and make proposais to the British 
Govemment with regard to obtaining conces- 
sions in Matabeleland was Mr. George Cawston, 
who on May 4, 1888, wrote to the Colonial 
Office, as printed in the South Africcui Blue Book : 
" It is the intention of myself in conjunction 
with others to send a représentative to Matabele- 
land to negotiate with Lobengula for a treaty 
for trading, mining, and gênerai purposes." 
Fnrther correspondence took place between Lord 
Knutsford and Mr. George Cawston and his 
friends, with the resuit that the Exploring 
Company was formed for the purpose. But, 
adds Mr. Keltie, though Mr. Cawston seems to 
hâve been the first to approach the Govt., and 
although he lost no time, after he had satisfied 
the Colonial Office, in sending out Mr. Maund, 
another compÉiny or syndicate, the moving 
spirit of which w£is Mr. Rhodes, was already 
on the spot, and thus had the advantage of him. 
An arrangement between thèse syndicates was 
subsequently come to, and the Exploring Co. 
applied to H.M. Govt. for the grant of the 
Charter, which was made on Oct. 31, 1889. 
Mr. Cawston was one of the signatories of the 
application for the Charter, cuid became one of

Sir T. Shepstone, he did much to bring 
the burghers to an appréciation of the 
condition of the country, which called for con- 
fédération or euinexation. He advocated the 
latter in préférence to the then desperate con- 
dition of his country. Nevertheless, two years 
later he was put in prison by Col. Sir O. Lanyon 
on a charge of sédition, because he attacked the 
Administration for its f ailure to keep the promises 
made at the time of annexation.

andria — ^the first and only institution of thi 
kind in Egypt in which the foreign colonies thei 
established in Alexeuadria were combined witt 
the native élément for ad r inistering the affaizf 
of the city. In 1892 he was appointed Director* 
Gen. of the Municipality with the office of Près, 
of the Executive. It was under his administra- 
tion that the town was most f uUy developed by 
the opening up of roads and tramways, the 
installation of the eleotric light, construction of 
quays, resulting in the most beautiful promenade 
of Alexandria, and by the création of a fine 
quarter formed on land previously intended for 
the deposit of town rubbish. He occupied thia 
position for eleven years, during which period 
he was frequently conmiended in the reports of 
Lord Cromer. At the beginning of 1903 Chakour 
Pacha retired from the service of the Egyptian 
Govt., sinoe when he has devoted himself to

to make a hostile invasion), and that the rank 
and file of the conm^ttee should plead guilty 
to co\uits 3 (distributing arms, guns, erecting 
defences, etc.) and 4 (arrogating the functions 
of Government in Johannesburg, arming their 
own Police Corps, etc.) ; that counts 2, 3 and 4 
should be withdrawn against the former and 
counts 1 and 2 should be withdrawn ag£Ûnst the 
latter. Dr. Coster admitted that the effect of 
this would be making the charge against the 
rank and file purely nominal, while in the case of 
the four leaders he iindertook not to press for 
exemplary punishment. Nevertheless, at the 
triai Dr. Coster, in a violent speech, depicted 
in the blackest terms the action of those men, 
and claimed that the Court should apply the 
Roman-Dutch Law in préférence to the statutes 
of the S.A.R., and demanded the severest 
penalty that could be imposed under that law 
and under the Thirty-three Articles and the Qold 
Law. Dr. Coster resigned the State Attomey- 
ship in conséquence of an insulting référence 
of Président KJriiger's to his coiintrymen. 

COWEN, Charles, is the only surviving son 
of Joseph Cowen, of Bryajistone Street, Port- 
man Square, London, cind of Catherine Louisa, 
his wife, of Merion Square, Dublin. Mr. Cowen 
has been identified with our colonial life from 
1853, when he arrived in S.A. Having 
been, from a very early date, associated with 
educationcd organizations in England, and with 
the Press, he soon foiind a new sphère for his 
énergies Gifter landing at Cape Town, where he 
inaugurated, with others classes, conducted 
gratuitously by some of the best members of 
the community, for elementary instruction, as 
well as for advanced young men, in modem 
languages, the olassics, literature, and some of 
the arts. He cdso occupied himself as a lecturer 
and joumàUst, and in 1874 becsume Secy. of the 
Port Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce. Broken 
down in health, about the end of 1886 he left 
for the newly opened goldfields, paying visita 
to the Free State Territories and other parts.

executive until 1875, Bro. Cowen was influenticd 
in obtaining the warrsuat for the first Brit. L. 
under the Cons. of the Q.L. of England for 
Johcuinesburg, and was elected its first W.M. 
When Mr. Rhodes, having passed the Glen 
Grey Act, décide to visit the Trans-Keian 
tribes, to explain to them the merits and re- 
quirements of it, Mr. Cowen met him at Butter- 
worth, as the " Cape Times " représentative, 
and accompanied hun on the tour, and then 
stayed behind to watch the practiccd working of 
the new mec^ure. In 1892 he was associated 
with the Editorship of the " Cape Mercury *' for 
a while. In 1898 he went to the East ; later 
settled in Rome, cmd came back to England at 
the close of 1902. He is an Hon. Life Member

East London, and of the Civil Service Club, 
Cape Town ; is the son of Capt. Frederick Crewe, 
17th Madras Infantry, and is descended from 
the Crewes of Crewe, Cheshire, of which family 
he is one of the few maie représentatives re- 
meûning. He was bom in London on Jan. 11, 
1855, and was educated privately. Col. Crewe 
has had a v€iried poUtical and military career. 
He went to S.A. in March, 1878, and joined the 
Cape Mounted Rifiemen, serving with this 
régiment through the Kafir War, receiving for 
his services medal and clasp, 1878-79. He again 
saw service in the Basuto War of 1880-81, re- 
ceivÎDg medal and clasp. In 1881 he retired 
from the C.M.R., and commenced farming. In 
1898 he stood for Aliwal North for the House of 
Assembly and was only defeated by two votes. 



In May of the f ollowing year he was retumed to 
the Législative Assembly for East Griqualand» 
and devoted himself to Uie reorganization of tha 
Progressive peoty. At the gênerai élection in 
Feb. 1904 he succeeded in ousting Mr. J. W. 
Sauer from the représentation of Aliwal North, 
and on the résignation of Sir Gordon Sprigg'a 
Mimstry immedUately after the élections he 
joined Dr. Jameson's Cabinet as Colonial Seo. 
On war breeiking out in S.A. he raised the 
Border Horse Regt. (Feb. 1900), and served first 
as Major commanding and was promoted Lieut.- 
Col. in May 1900, and full Col. in May 1901. He 
for many months commanded a mobile column 
of Colonial troops in the O.R.C.» cmd later on

CROMER, Earl of, and Viscount Ebbino- 
TON, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., K.C.S.I., CLE., Ist Class 
Medjidieh ; of Cairo, and of the Turf, Brooks*, 
Travellers', St. James', and Marlborough Clubs, 
is son of the late Henry Baring, M.P., and 
Cecilia Windham. He was bom at Cromer Hall, 
Norfolk, Feb. 26, 1841, and was educated at 
the Hethel Hall, Norfolk, The Ordinance Sch.» 
Carshalton, and at Woolwich, and is Hon. 
D.C.L. of Oxford. At the âge of seventeen he 
joined the Royal Artillery, retiring with the rank 
of Major in 1879 for the purpose of taking up 
his duties as one of the Controllers-Gtoneral ap- 
pointed in Egjrpt in 1879 by England and France, 
when Ismail had been deposed by the Sultan» 
and his son Tewfik had succeeded on the Khedi- 
vial throne. Previously Mr. Evelyn Baring, as 
he then was, had acquired much useful expérience 
to fit him for his responsible post. He had acted 
as Private Sec. to his cousin. Lord North- 
brook, when that nobleman was Govemor 
General of India, and during this period had 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



obtaîned a close însîght înto the praotical art of 
govenunent. While he held a oommissionership 
of the Public Debt in Egypt, he waa enabled to 
greatly extend his finsuicial knowledge. The 
powers held by Mr. Baring suad his fellow con- 
troller, M. de Blignières, were very considérable. 
They were admitted to the Ministerial Council ; 
they had the right to advise in ail matters of 
fin£Uice, and they were authorized to appoint 
Résident Inspectors. The success of his work of 
that period in Egypt was borne witness to by 
Lord Granville in the House of Lords in 1881, 
when he stated that the syst^n " had un- 
doubtedly worked €ulniirably for the finances and 
eulministration of Egypt." Towards the end 
of 1880 Sir John Strachey's résignation left 
vacant the post of Finance Minister of Lidia. 
Mr. Baring received the appointment under the 
Marquis of Ripon, who was then Viceroy» and 
during his tenure of office framed and ccuried 
three successful budgets. In 1883 he was made 
a K.C.S.I., suad became and has since remained 
Consul-Genercd and Minister Flenipotentiary in 
Egypt. Sir "Evelyn Baring had not been many 
years in Egypt before the mémorable financial 
crisis occurred. It had been évident for some 
time that the fincmces of the country must be 
again taken in hand by the Powers. There was 
the question of meeting the heavy Hability of 
the Alexandrian Indemnity, as well as the debts 
due to the rébellion and to the war in the Sudan. 
The question also aa to the distribution of the 
Revenue between the Government and the Bond- 
holders had assvimed an acute phase. The law 
of liquidation under which the Public créditer 
" steurved the Government " could not be altered 
without the consent of the Great Powers. To 
raise a new locm required the consent not only 
of the great Powers, but of Turkey. As an 
initial step towards procuring thèse consents the 
British Government appointed a Committee, of 
which Sir Evelyn Baring was one, to examine 
and report. A Conférence was held in London 
for the purpose of discussing the schemes put 
forward by this Committee, but the Conférence 
broke up without coming to any agreement. 
After many negotiations an arrangement was 
corne to whereby a losua of £9,t)00,000 sterling 
was agreed to be issued. In connexion with this 
trsuisaotion Sir Evelyn rendered one of the 
most valuable of his msuay importsuat services 
to the prosperity of Egypt. £8,000,000 of this 
new loan was applied to the Liquidation of the 
Indemnities and to wiping out the déficits of the 
three previous years. The remaining £1,000,000 
was the sum of money which enabled the Consul- 



General to work such a marvellous change 
the économie condition of the country. Tt i 
life emd death to Egypt to put the great < 
Works upon which the irrigation of the cuut» 
depended into proper order. This extra mi 
provided the necessary capital to save the ir^ 
tion System and with it the finances of Egypt. 
sooner was the financial position of the 0( 
dealt with than Sir Evelyn Bcuing entere^i u 
his long struggle for ref orms ; how he has suu- 
ceeded the présent state of prosperity of th» 
country is suffîcient proof. In 1892 Sir Evelyn 
Baring was raised to the peerage under the titl» 
of Lord Cromer, and in the same yeetr occurred 
the untimely death of Tewfik Pasha and tho 
descent of the Khediviate to his son. It waa 
not long before Lord Cromer's struggles again 
conmienced. In Jan. of the foUowing year 
Abbas declared war, so to speak, with the British 
Government. A sharp but short struggle ensued, 
but it was foUowed by the complète victory of 
the Consul-General. Before this was, however, 
accomplished. Lord Cromer had to invite His 
Highness to look from a window of the Abdin 
Palace on a British régiment parading on the 
square without. Unquestionably it was by the 
Consul-Gtoneral's firmness at this critical jiincture 
that British prestige and po wer were not seriously 
threatened. But the truce was of short dura- 
tion, for in January of 1894, the EQiedive oom- 
plained publicly and pointed out to the Sirdar, 
Genered Kitchener, the military ineffîciency of the 
force under his command. The British Consul- 
General waited on the ELhedive and there de- 
manded that he should issue a gênerai order 
expressing his approval of the discipline cmd 
efficiency of the army, and his satisfaction with 
the offîcers whose authority he had so deliberately 
attempted to overthrow. He was also required 
to remove Maher Pasha from his post at the 
Wajc Office. Thèse demands were complied 
with and from it may be dated a cessation of 
the struggle of the Khédive to emancipate him- 
self from British control. Lord Cromer received 
his K.C.B. in 1887, his G.C.M.G. in 1888, and 
was raised to the peerage as Baron in 1892, as 
Viscount in 1 898, and Earl in 1 901 . He msuried : 
first, in 1876, Ethel Stanley, daughter of Sir 
Roland Stanley Errington, Bart. (died Oct. 16, 
1898); and second, Lady Catherine Thynne» 
sister of the présent Marquess of Bath. 

CRONJE, PiETEB Abkoldus, ex-Command6uit 
of the Potchefstroom District, Transvaal, of 
Palmietfontein, Schoon Spruit, Klerksdorp, 
Transvaal. During the War of Indepeiidenoe he 



36 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



commanded the Boer forces at Potchefstroom. 
At that time he ordered the siimmary exécution 
of several British subjects who were suspected 
on wholly insuffîcient grounds of being spies ; 
he caused prisoners of war to work in the trenches 
where they were shot by their own comrades, 
and refused to allow women in délicate health 
to leave the fort to obtain médical aid and food. 
When the gênerai armistice was declared he 
treacherously withheld the news from the 
besieged garrison, until, in order to save the 
lives of the wounded and the women and child- 
ren, they were compelled to snrrender. 

Many yeara later (Jan. 1896) Comdt. Cronje 
was in command of the commando which beat 
Dr. Jeuneson's forces at Vlakfontein, and received 
his surrender on condition of sparing the Uves 
of the entire force. This condition when known 
to Comdt. Malan caused the greatest anta- 
gonisme and Cronjé was accused of neglect of 
duty for accepting such a condition. Seeing that 
Comdt. Cronjé stoutly maintained against ail 
opposition that the condition should be loyally 
recognized, it was probably strong Government 
pressure which induced him later on to stretch 
the terms, explaining that the promise to spare 
the hves was only to hold good until the prisoners 
were handed over to the Comdt. -General. 
He succeeded Gen. Joubert as Superintendent 
of Natives, and was given a seat on the Execu- 
tive. Comdt. Cronje was married, and no less 
than thirty-three of his descendants were either 
killed or cÛed of disoase in the field or concentra- 
tion camps during th3 last S.A. War. Mrs. 
Cronje herself died of paralysis at the âge of 
64 at the latter end of 1903. 

CRONWRIGHT-SCHREINER, Mrs. Olive, 
of Hanover, Cape Colony, is the dau. of a German 
Missionary of the L.M.S., and has written a 
number of interesting stories of South African 
life, besides frequently using her pen in further- 
ance of her poUtical sympathies which are 
decidedly pro-Boer. She married in 1894, Mr. 
S. C. Cronwright, who thereupon adopted the 
sumame of Cronwright-Schreiner (q.v.). 

CRONWRIGHT-SCHREINER, Samuel C, 
M.L.A., of Hanover, Cape Colony, is son of the 
late S. C. Cronwright, who for many years

lature. Mr. Cronwright-Schreiner is a mem- 
ber of the Afrikander Bond, and came over to 
England during the late S.A. War to lec- 
ture and represent the views of the pro-Boers. 
His tour was a complète failure, however, as no 



British audience would give him a hearing. In 
Dec. 1902 he defeated the Progressive candidate» 
Mr. Macfarlane, at Colesberg, and at the 
gênerai élection in Feb. 1904 he was elected for 
Beaufort West. 

He published in 1896, " The Political Situa- 
tion," jointly with his wife. Olive Sohreiner 
(q.v.) whose surname he added to his own on the 
occasion of his marriage in 1894.

DAVIES W. D., of Johannesburg. "Karri" 
Davies (as he is generally called) was one of the 
two Reform prisoners who, when the question of 
petitioning for some mitigation of their sentences 
was raised, consistently ref used to sacrifice their 
self respect by making such a supplication to 
the Govt. which had treated them in what they 
deemed to be a dishonest and treacherous 
manner, Those only who can comprehend the 
terribly insanitary condition of a Boer gaol, 
where blacks and whites were huddled together 
as ordinary félons, fed on the worst of fare and 
continually subject to the harsh treatment of 
the gaolers, can appreciate fully such a sacrifice 
to principle when a word would hâve effected their 
release. He took part in the récent S.A. War.

Cambridgeshire. Sir George began his business 
career in the engineering firm of his uncle oè 
Bedford, and early in life went out to the Cape 
Colony. But the discoveries on the Rand soon 
attracted him thither. Sir George took full 
advantage of the opportunities that ofîered, 
and it was not long before he became the head 
of one of the principal groups of mining under-

to death. This sentence was commuted, cmd 
after a few months he was libwated (1896) on 
pa3nnent of a fine of £25,000, £hnd on his under- 
taking not to meddle with the politics of the 
State for fifteen years. '

his brother, Capt. Percy Farrar, took an active 
part in rcùsing colonial' corps, to the expense 
of which his firm contributed very large amounts.

July 24, 1862. He is the son of the Hon. 
James Coleman Fitz-Patrick, an Irish bar* 
rister, who supported the poUtical fortunes of 
Daniel O'Connell in bis declining yeeurs, as well 
as those of the Liberator's son, John O'Con- 
nell, £hnd who afterwards beocune Judge of the 
Suprême Court of the C.C. Sir Percy was 
educated at St. Gregory's Coll., Downside, 
near Bath, and went to the TransvaeJ in 1884, 
where he bas resided practically ever since» 
either on the alluvial diggings, or trcMling» 
hunting, or prospecting. In 1886 he settled 
at Barberton, leaving there three years lat^r 
for the Witwatersrand. He accompanied the 
Randolph Churchill expédition through 
Mashonaland in 1891, and in 1892, on retum- 
ing to Johannesburg, took charge of the Intel- 
ligence Department of the firm of H. Eckstein 
& Co., of which he became a partner in 1898, 
representing the firm on the boards of mcuiy 
of the premier mining Cos. of the Rand. 
Few men are more conversant with ail the 
detcûls of the mining industry, or with the 
gênerai afEairs of the Transvacd than Sir Percy, 
as those will know who remember his évidence 
before the Industrial Commission in 1897, and 
subsequently before the Concessions Com- 
mission. He was one of the first to become 
associated with the Reform Committee in 
1895, to which he acted as an indefatigable 
Hon. Secretary. For his participation in that 
movement he was arrested in Janueury, 1896, 
and with other ringleaders was refused bail. 
He was put on trial in April for high treason 
against the Govt. of the S.A.R., and waa 
condemned to suffer two years' imprison- 
ment, to pay a fine of £2,000, or as an eitema- 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



tive another yeaor's imprisonment, and there- 
after to be bajiished from the State for a period 
of three yeaxB. This sentence was reduced to one 
year's imprisonment in the folio wing May, but 
he wafi released during the same month. 

In 1897, when everybody thought (and 
rightly) that the IndustiicJ Commission was 
intended merely as a farce. Sir Percy never- 
theless pressed hard for the Uitlcuiders to take 
it seriously, if only for the purpose of once 
more putting their case on record. In Feb., 
1899, although this fact is not generally known, 
it was he who suggested to the Transvaal 
Qovt. a conférence between Mr. Kriiger 
and Lord Milner, and another between the 
Govt. and the people of Johannesburg. 
This was a most eamest and sincère efiorb to 
avert war, as Sir Percy plainly stated, and his 
suggestions resulted in the "' Bloemfontein 
Conférence " and the " Capitalist Negotia- 
tions." However, thèse meetings were tumed 
by the Boer Govt. to purposes other than 
pea.ce. As évidence of his party*s sincerity, 
he proposed, in order to remove causes of con- 
stant friction, that the mining people should 
forego their Bewaarplaatsen Rights, cuid buy 
them at a valuation instead of going to law 
cmd to the Rend for restitution in toto, and 
should also acquiesce in the Dynamite Monopoly, 
*^ provided the profits, as origincJly intended, 
should go to the Gk)vt." ; in îact, that the 
terms of the original concession should be 
enforoed, if the Govt. would introduce the 
reforms in administration of the Liquor cuid 
other laws, as recommended by the Indus- 
trial Commission, and make some équitable 
concession of poUtical rights to the Uitlanders. 
When the Capitalist Negotiations came about 
the Govt., at first through Mr. Lippert, 
and afterwards through Dr. Leyds and Mr. 
Reitz, refused to allow Sir Percy (although 
a partner in the leading house of Eckstein) 
to take part. He was the one b£urred. As 
soon, however, a^ the Government tried to 
introduce the Franchise question, the other 
représentatives of the Capitalists refused to 
take pÉurt until Sir Percy Fitz-Patrick and 
some other représentatives of the Uitleuiders 
were admitted. After some delay the Govt. 
gave way, but Sir Percy would not par- 
ticipate in the negotiations without a written 
invitation which would release him from the 
condition of three years' silence which had 
been imposed on him in connection with the 
Reformers' sentences. This was given, cmd Sir 
Percy, having been authorized by the repré- 



sentatives of ail classes to voice their ca 
went into the matter heart and soûl, incidenta 
proving step by step how the Govt. h 
authorized the negotiations, and showing t. 
devices by which they had sought to invei 
the negotiators into a false move. Sir Pe*, 
drew up the five years' Franchise memorandu 
which was embodied in the Capitalist Nego- 
tiators' documents (published in Mckrch c^ 
April, 1899), and which afterwards served as 
the basis of Lord Milner*s Bloemfontein pro- 
posais. Before sending this mémo, in, ho 
showed it to the State Secy; and State 
Attomey in Pretoria, who both said that it 
was absolutely just, but that Mr. Kriiger 
would never be induced to agrée to it. Sir 
Percy's answer to this was, " Well, let us try. 
Let it be a basis for discussion, to bring us 
together, and avert trouble." 

Sir Percy, as spokesman for the guarantora 
of the War Locui and représentative of the 
public committee, took a principal part in 
the War Debt negotiations with Mr. Chamber- 
lain. He is one of the non-official members 
of the first Transvaal Législative Council, and 
was elected by that body as one of the two 
Transvaal Représentatives on the Inter- 
Colonial CouncÛ of the Transvaal and O.R.C., 
from which he resigned in 1904. He was 
Près, of the Witwatersrand Chamber of Mines 
in 1902. 

Sir Percy has a facile pen. He was years 
ago éditer of the " Barberton Herald," and 
besides many able contributions to the Press

GILL, Sœ David, K.C.B. (1900), Order of the 
Medjidieh (1876) ; of the Royal Observatory, 
Cape of Good Hope, and the AthensBum, Cale- 
donian, and Ci'val Service (C.T.) Clubs; 
w£is bom at Aberdeen, Scotland, June 12, 1843. 
He is the eldest son of David Gill, of Blairythan, 
Aberdeenshire ; was educated at Marischall 
CoU. and Univ., Aberdeen, graduating LL.D., 
and soon applied himself to |the study of 
astronomy, and its aJlied sciences. He under- 
took the direction of Lord Lindsay's private 
observatory at Donecht, near Aberdeen (1872- 
76) ; organized Lord Lindsay's Transit of 
Venus Expédition to Mauritius ; made a séries 
of heliometer observations there of the opposi- 
tion of the minor planet Juno (a new and original 
method of determining the Solar Parallax), con- 
nected the longitudes of Berlin, Malta, Alex- 
andria, Suez, Aden, Seychelles, Mauritius and 
Bodriguez, and measured a base-line for the 
Geodetic Survey of Egypt. In 1877 he organized 
an expédition to Ascension for determining the 
Solar Parallax by heliometer observations of the 
planet Mars. In 1879 he was appointed H.M. 
Astronomer at the Cape, and was identified with 
completing the records of his office and the 
more accurate Geodetic Survey of Natal and 
ce. 9 the latter work alone, begun in 1883, 
taking eleven years to accomplish. Thus aM the 
accurately determined longitudes on the East 
and West Coasts of Africa, as well as the longi- 
tudes of Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles, were 
established on the initiative and authority of 
Sir David Gill. In 1885 he commenced the work 
of photographing ail the stars to the lOth 
magnitude from 18° S. to the S. Pôle, aâsisted 
by Prof. J. G. Kapteyn of Groningen, and as a 
resuit three large volumes of Annals of the 
Cape Observatory were published showing the 
places and magnitudes of 454,875 stars. In 
1886, in conjunction with Admirai Mouchez, he 
carried through an international scheme for 
photographing the whole sky and cataloguing 
ail stars to the llth order of magnitude, and 
Sir David became senior member of the per- 
manent committee, whose reunions he attended 
at Paris in 1887, 1891, 1896 and 1900. In 
1881-83 he conducted a séries of déterminations 
of Stellar Parallax, and in 1888-90 observations 
on a larger scale were carried out at Cape Town, 
ail the principal observatories of the world co- 
operating, and the conclusions as derived by Sir 
David in his final discussion of the whole seiies 
were adopted for use in the nautical almanacs 
and astronomical ephemerides of ail nations at 
the Paris International Congress in 1896. In 



that year Sir David Gill was entrusted by the 
British and Gtorman Govts. to détermine 
the boundary between British Bechuanaland 
6uad German S.W. Africa, and the necessary sur- 
vey opérations hâve been in progress sinœ 1897. 
He took the initiative in interesting Earl Grey 
and Mr. Rhodes in a Geodetic Survey of Rhodesia, 
and the project of carrying the work along the 
30th meridian from the South to the Médita- 
ranean is already being extended towards 
Tanganyika under his direction. The exécution 
of the Great African Arc of Meridian is perhaps 
the pet scheme of Sir David'slife. Meanwhite» 
owing to the munificence of Mr. Frank MoClean, 
the Cape Observatory has been fitted with a 
complète equipment for astrophysical research» 
and Sir David has been able to greatly extend 
the scope of his opérations and the volume of his 
work, and under his direction the observatory 
has become by far the most important one in 
the Southern Hémisphère. 

Sir David Gill is a F.R.S. — one of the twenty 
Hon. F.R.S. .Edin. ; correspondent of the Inst. 
of France (Acad. des Sciences) ; corresponding

(1882), Valse Medallist of the Inst. of France 
(1882), and in 1900 received the Watson Gold 
Medal of the Nat. Acad. of Sciences, Washington, 
and the Bruce Gold Medal of the Astronomical 
Soc. of the Pacific for distinguished services to 
astronomy. He is Près, of the S.A. Philosophical 
Soc. and of the S.A. Assoc. for the Advancement 
of Science, and he originated the invitation 
extended to the British Assoc. to visit S.A. in 
1905. He is one of the three trustées of the S.A. 
Muséum, a member of the Cape Gtological Com- 
mission, and J.P. for the county of Aberdeen, 
Scotland, and for the Cape Division. 

He has published : "A Détermination of the

great knowledge of practical railway work led 
to rapid promotion. At the âge of 23 he w€is 
appointed Traffîc Manager of the Royal Arsenal

of Lord Kitchener discemed in young Girouard 
the very man to undertake the construction 
of the railway across the Soudan, which was 
to enable Lord Kitchener to push forward his 
advance from Dongola to Khartoum. Col. 
Girouard ceuried out this work as Director of 
Sudan Railways, and afterwards was appointed 
Près, of the Egyptian Railway Board. In 1889 
he cuïcompanied Lord Kitchener to the Cape

Anglo-African Who's Who 



GREEN, John Dampier, F.R.G.S., M.Inst. 
CE., of Johannesburg, is a descendant of 
William Dampier, one of the earliest ciroiun- 
navigators of the world, and was bom in London 
March 23, 1850. He was educated at Chester 
Coll., of which he is an old King's Scholar. 
He commenced his engineering career on the 
Dee (Chester) Réclamation Works on the Dee 
Estâtes, of which he was a part owner ; waa 
owner of copper lead and coal mines and lime 
smelting works in North Wales, and lef t England 
in 1886 to assist in the construction of the Cape 
Central Railways. On completion thereof he 
fitted out an expédition to Malmani Goldfields. 
While there, in conjunction with others, he 
organized aa expédition for the taking of 
Matabelelsuid. Some numbers of O.F. State 
and Transvaal Boers expressed a désire 
to join the enterprise, but the Home Govt. sent 
Word that " Her Majesty would look with grave 
displeasure upon any armed force leaving Bech- 
uanaland to molest the natives," and in déférence 
thereto the undertaking was abandoned. Mr. 
Dampier Green is Hon. Curator of the 
Mineralogical and GeologicfJ Dept. of the 
Transvaal Chamber of Mines, and Hon. 
Treas. and Secy. of the Geological Society 
of S.A., Johannesburg. 

GREENE, Sœ William Conyngham, C.B.

Stuttgart, Darmstad, The Hague, and Brussels ; 
as Secy. of Légation and Chargé d'Affaires at 
Téhéran 1893-1896, but it WAa when he was 
appointed Agent at Pretoria in Aug. 1896, with 
the rank of Chargé d'Affaires in H.M. Diplomatie 
Service that he first came prominently before 
pubUc attention. It will be remembered that 
Mr. Steyn roundly accused him of " decoying " 
the Transvcud Govt. into making a conditional 
offer of the five years' franchise. It was Sir 
Conyngham who told Mr. Kriiger that, 
whether he said " suzerainty " or not, suzer- 
ainty there would hâve to be ; but that " if 
the présent were a bona-fide endeavour to settle 
the poUtical rights of our people for good 



and ail, we should neither wish, nor hâve 
cause, for interférence with the internai 
affairs of the Transvaal." At 5 p.m. on 
Oct. 11, 1899, Sir W. C. Greene's officiai duties 
at Pretoria came to and end. |He received the 
ultimatum of the Transvacd Govt., and having 
asked for and received his passports left

to hâve been rendered to the Cape Colonial 
Govt. no notice was taken of the recommenda- 
tion by Lord Kitchener. In Johannesburg 
he is a Director of several Cos. ; he was for 
yeaxa on the Conunittee of the Stock Exohange,

GREENLEES, Thomas Dunoan, M.D., 
(Bdin.), F.R.S.E., J.P., of the Residency, 
Qrahamstown, and the Albany Club, Grahams- 
town, was bom at Kilmamock, Scotland, Sept.

ment at the City of London Asylum from 1887

GREGOROWSKI, Judob ; formerly a Judge 
of the O.F.S., he was in 1896 State Attor- 
ney to that Republic when invited to pré- 
side over the trial of the Reform prisoners at 
Pretoria, although having no status in the Trans- 
vacd. He was accordmgly provisionally ap- 
pointed to a seat on the Transvaal Bench. 
He was noted for the pecuUar severity of his 
sentences on ail except Boers, and it is asserted 
that he came to the trial of the Reformers with 
the full intent of stretching the law to its utmost 
against the prisoners. In sununing up he stated 
that he held the signatories of the letter of invita- 
tion to Dr. Jameson to be directly responsible 
for the shedding of the burghers' blood at 
Doomkop. Notwithstanding that the Com- 
mittee had offered to guarantee with their persons 
that if the Govt. would allow Dr. Jameson 
to come into Johannesburg unmolested, he would 
leave again peekcefully as soon as possible, and 
setting aside the spécial statutes of the State, 
he p€U9sed the death sentence upon them under 
Roman-Dutch law. The Judge then pcissed 
sentence on the other prisoners, the rank and 
file of the Reform Conunittee, condemning them 
to two ye€ffs' imprisonment, to pay fines of 
£2,000 each, or as an alternative to sufîer an- 
other's year's imprisonment, and thereafter to 
be banished from the State for a period of three 
ye€ffs. Mr. Gregorowski resigned his judge- 
ship to fill the post of State Attomey vacated 
by Dr. Coster. When a law was passed (No. 1 
of 1897) empowering the Govt. to exact assur- 
ances from the judges that they would respect 
ail resolutions of the Volksraad as having the 
force of law and déclare themselves not entitled 



to test the validity of a law by its agreemei 
or oonflict with the Constitution, and empoweno 
the Président to summarily dismiss the judgei 
Mr. Gregorowski emphatically stated that n 
honourable man could possibly sit upon th 
Transvaal Bench so long as that law remcûne 
upon the Statute Book. Nevertheless on havin, 
to décide the question of costs which was referre< 
to him in the case of Brown v, the State, he gav 
a judgment which practically brought the caa 
under the opération of the obnoxious law 
Furthermore, when Chief Justice Kotze was 
dismissed by the Président under the summarj 
powers of Law 1 of 1897, Mr. Gregorowsld did 
not find it inconsistent to eujcept the office oi 
Chief Justice. 

GREY, Eabl, LL.M., J.P., of 22, South St., 
Park Lane, W., of Howick House, Lesbury, 
Northumberland, and of Brooks' Club, is the 
only surviving son of Gen. the Hon. Chets. 
Grey, and nephew of the 3rd Earl Grey, 
K.G., P.C., who was the eldest son of th© 
youngest of the accusers who impeached Warren 
Hastings at the Bar of the House of Lords in 
1788 and the six foUowing years. Albert 
Henry George Grey, who is now the 4th Earl, 
was bom Nov. 28, 1851, and was educated ai 
Harrow and at Cambridge, where he greatly 
distinguished himself. He began his political 
career under curions circumstances. It was 
in 1878 that at a by-election in South Northum- 
berland the Libéral party selected Mr. Albert 
Grey (as he then was) to contest what was 
generally regarded as a safe Conservative seat. 
However Mr. Grey's popularity won him a 
majority of two at the poU over his rival, Mr. E. 
Ridley, Q.C., but as the extra couple of voting 
papers were found to be irregular, the High 
SherifE decided to reject them, and mcMle a 
double retum, each opponent being retumed 
to the House of Commons without having the 
right to speak or vote. As the Parliament was 
nearly at an end, the Libérais resolved not to 
incur the expense of a scrutiny, and the Conserv- 
ative member was allowed to keep the seat 
until the dissolution in 1880, when the présent 
Peer was elected by a large majority. In 1885-6 
he represented the Tyneside Division of his native 
county as a Liberal-Unionist, but in the latter 
year he was def eated by a Gladstonian candidate, 
and did not subsequently seek parliamentary 
honours. 

Earl Grey sucoeeded to the title in 1894* 
He was one of the original directors of the B.S.A. 
Co., and in 1896 he went to Rhodesia as Ad-

Anglo-African Who's Who 



ministrator, filling this high office with considér- 
able success during a troublous period which 
saw, euoaongst other things, the setuement of the 
peace tenns with the Matabele chiefs, which 
put an end to the rébellion of 1896. Lord Grey 
for a time took an active part in the field against 
the Matabele, and it is not generally known that 
he was very neeurly eut ofE by the rebels at the 
battle of Sepula's Kraal in the Matoppos. He 
retumed to England in 1897, and soon after 
became Vice-Pres. of the Chartered Co., a post 
which he has filled ever since. He is aàso one of

of four prominent Rhodesians who were killed 
in the late S.A. War, viz., Jack Spreckley, Fred 
Crewe, Claude Grenfell, £uid C. J. Knapp, 
removed to Chcui^erland for re-interment 
hard by the tomb of Cecil Rhodes in the Ma- 
toppos. But the great philanthropie movement 
with which Lord Grey h£LS been identified 
from the commencement is the formation and 
organization at home and abrocul of the CentrcJ 
Public House Trust Association, the chief aims 
of which are to promote the higher tempérance 
by the conversion, wherever possible, of the 
public house from a drinking bar into a house 
of refreshment for the supply of wholesome 
f ood €uid non-alcohoHc liquors as well as of béer 
and spirits, and to provide such an organization 
as will enable the licensing authorities to secure 
that ail new licenses, with their high monopoly 
values, shall be administered as a trust in the 
interests of the public, cmd not by private 
individuals for their personal gain. In 1877 
he mcurried Alice, youngest daughter of the

imphcitly, he was at one time the hope of the 
Modérâtes and peraona grata with the Colonial

residing there until Dec. 1862, he retumed to 
Liverpool from which city he has conducted 
business with West Africa until the présent 
time. On his various visits to the Gold Coast 
he was struck with the prospects of gold mining, 
and early in 1878 he began the first systematic 
development of that industry, which resulted 
in the formation of the Effuenta and of the 
Abbontiakoon Gold Mining Cos. Thèse enter- 
prises were not then sucoessful owing to in-

JAMESON, Dr. The Hon. Lbandeb Stabb, 
M.L.A., C.B. (1894), of 2, Down St.,Piccadilly, 
W., eind of the Beefsteak Club, waa bom in 
Edinburgh Feb. 9, 1853, and is one of many 
children of the late R. W. Jameson, W.S. H» 
was educated at Godolphin Sch., Hammersmith, 
and studied medicine at London Univ.,. 
graduating M.B. and B.S. 1875, M.R.C.S. Eng. 
1875, and M.D. 1877. He then went to America, 
and on his retum to England was oSered th& 
post of Consulting Physicicui to the Kimberley 
Hospital, and a partnership in the prekctioe of 
Dr. Prince of that town. Proceeding there 
he was soon recognized as one of the leading- 
members of his profession, with what waa 
probably the best practice in S.A. From 
this period dates his friendship with the late 
Cecil Rhodes. In 1881 Dr. Jameson c€une to 
Europe on a holiday, and from the time of his 
retum to S.A. began his interest in the historié 
movement known as the Northern Expansion. 
He cuîcompanied Dr. F. Rutherfoord Harris and 
Rochfort Maguire, M. P., on a spécial mission 
to Lobengula (whom he treated for goût) ; and 
it was perhaps owing to tliis fact that the mis- 
sion was successful in accomplishing its objecta. 
On his retum to Kimberley Dr. Jcuneson again 
resumed the practice of his profession until 
Sept. 1889, when with Major Maxwell, Major 
Frank Jolmson, and Mr. Denis Doyle he un- 
offîcially accompanied another mission to 
Lobengula. On the occupation of Mashona- 
land, Mr. Colquhoun was administrator of 
that territory, but Dr. Jameson held Mr. Rhodes* 
power of attomey. During thèse early days 
he had to endure a course of self-denial so severe 
that nothmg but the most single-minded dévo- 
tion to his self-imposed duties could hâve 
ccurried him through. Long wanderings through 
the ''ây-belt" with Major Johnson in searoh 
of the Eeist Coast route, endless troubles with 
his sorely-tried pioneers, imminent prospeot»

(sometimes recJized) of conâicts with Boer 
trekkers, Matabele ajid Portuguese— thèse were 
some of the propositions which required his 
infinité patience, tact, courage and hard work 
to combat. 

Eventually reaching Rimberley again, Nov. 
15, 1890, he left once more for Mashonaland 
on Dec. 2 with some officiais of the Chartered 
Co. At Rhodes' Drift he met the Boer expédi- 
tion organised by Gen. Joubert to set up a new 
republic of Banjai in Chartered territory, and 
with great tact and firmness prevented the 
Boers from crossing the Crocodile River. 

On Sept. 18, 1891, Dr. Jameson succeeded 
Mr. Colquhoun as Chief Magistrate and Ad- 
ministrator of Mashonaland ; he took over also 
the administration of Matabelelatnd from Sept. 
1894, and in Oct. following was appointed 
Résident Conmiissioner of the territories along 
the western border of the S.A.R., north of 
Bechuan£Jand. Thèse posts he relinqmshed 
in 1895 in conséquence of his complicity in the 
Raid. 

It is diffîcult to say when Dr. Jameson* s con- 
nection with the Transvaal Reform movement 
first originated. He possibly for years had in 
view the part which he was to play. However 
that may be, curcmgements were msMle between 
the Reform leaders and Dr. Jameson as early as 
Sept. 1895, that he would mcôntcôn a force of 
some 1,500 mounted men with Maxims and 
field artillery on the western border of the 
Transvaal (ostensibly in case of diffîculties with 
the Bechuanaland natives), and the seizure of 
the Pretoria fort and the railway was planned 
in conjunction with local levies. That was the 
original idea, but the arrangements were modi- 
fied. The Johannesburg leaders appear to 
hâve somewhat regretted that they had invit-ed 
outside aid, €tnd it waâ agreed with Mr. Rhodes 
in Nov. 1896 that the B.B.P. and other troops 
should be kept £U3ros8 the border only as moral 
support or for assistance in case the Uitlanders- 
found themselves in *' a tight plaise,'* for which 
eventuality an undated letter, signed by the 
leaders, was hcuided to Dr. Jameson towards 
the end of Nov., setting forth the condition of 
aff airs and inviting him to oome to their assist- 
ance. This letter was mainly to justify the 
doctor bef ore the British Qovt. and the Diiectors 
of the Chartered Co. Dates for the invasion 
were tentatively fixed, but the Secy. of the 
Reform Committee bas reoorded that the pri- 
mary condition of thèse arrangements was 
that under no ciroumstancee should Dr. Jame- 
son move without receiving the word from the 



Johannesburg party. Doubts were then ei 
tained as to whether there was not some ui 
l3dng intention on the part of Mr. Cecil Rhi 
and the doctor to corne in under the Bri 
âag, and so strong did thèse suspicions beC' 
that emiss£udes were sent to Mr. Rhodes ( ». 
25) to get his clear pronouncement that u 
were co-operating for a reformed €tnd rep&o- 
sentative repubhc only, and the next day 
officers were despatched to Dr. Jcuneson to 
emphatically prohibit any movement on hin 
part, and explaining the âag diffîculty and the 
unpreparedness of the Uitlanders. But the 
doctor began to reveal an impatience which no 
protest either from the Committee, from Mr. 
Rhodes, or from individuals at Johannesburg 
coTild restrain. On Dec. 28, 1895, he wired 
" I shall start without f ail to-morrow night," and 
he left accordingly with 8 Maxims, two seven- 
pounders, one twelve-pounder, ajid about 480 
well mounted men. Such was the consterna- 
tion produced by this act that the first impulse 
waa to repudiate the doctor' s interférence. 
But that was of course impossible. Maxims 
had already been placed in position round 
Joh€Uinesburg, and some 2,000 rifles distributed 
and now earth-works were thrown up and 
défensive measures hastily taken. The force 
left Pitsani at about 5 p.m. on Sunday, €tnd in 
spite of messages received from the High Com- 
missioner, the British Agent, and the Reform 
lesMlers, waming Dr. Jameson to withdraw his 
troops, he continued to Ejrugersdorp (150 
miles), which he reached at 3 p.m. on Wednes- 
day. Near hère, at the Queen's mine, the 
invfiwiers suffered a small reverse, cuid with- 
drew, the firing being carried on until 11 p.m. 
During the night the Boers were reinforced 
with guns, Maxims, and men, bringing up their 
numbers to 1,200 or 1,500 men. Dr. Jameson 
seemed quite unacquÉÛnted with the locality, 
and relied on the guidance of a local man, who 
led him into the strong position held by the Boers 
at Doomkop, Vlakfontein. He made a despe- 
rate attempt to break through, his men behav- 
ing with great gallantry. But the position was 
unassailable, and the force surrendered as 9.15 
on Thursday moming, conditionally on the 
lives of ail his force being spared. The casual- 
ties were 18 killed and about 40 wounded, while 
the Boers owned to 4 killed and 5 wounded. 

Dr. Jcuneson was handed over by Mr. Bjriiger's 
Govt. to the British Grovt. for trial in London. 
Following on the police-court proceedings, he 
was tried at Bcur on the charge of having con- 
travened the Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870 

o

by organizing cuid heading a hostile expédition 
from Pitsani-Pitlogo against a friendly power. 
The trial commenced on Jiine 20, 1896, at the 
High Court of Judicature, and lasted seven 
days. He was foiind guilty and sentenoed to 
imprisonment as a first-class misdemeanant for 
fifteen months. He was, however, released 
from Holloway in the foUowing Dec. on account 
of iUness. 

After a partisJ retirement for some years, 
Dr. Jameson retumed to S.A., servlng in the 
war (1899-1900), during which time he was 
besieged in Ladysmith, doing useful work until 
he was himself laid up with enteric. In 1900 
he was elected a member of the Législative 
Assembly for Kimberley, and made his maiden 
speech in the House on Aug. 28, 1902, in which 
he hoped that the Raid nûght now be forgotten. 
Seceding from the Sprigg party, he identified 
himself with the Suspension movement, and 
was eventually (June 8, 1903), elected leader 
of the new Progressive party which, after 
a long and difficult struggle, entailing considér- 
able organizing powers, tact, control, and 
restraint, he led to viotory at the gênerai 
élection in Feb. 1904, himself being retumed 
as member for Grahamstown. The Progres- 
sives being in a majority of five in the new 
assembly, and of one in the Council, and Sir 
Gordon Sprigg havîng been defeated at the 
poil, the résignation of the Ministry followed 
as a matter of course, and a new Cabinet was 
inmiediately formed by Dr. Jameson, consist- 
ing of himself as Premier with charge of Native 
AfEairs, Col. Crewe as Colonial Secy., E. H. 
Walton as Treasurer, Dr. Smart as Com- 
missioner of Crown Lands and Public Works, 
Victor Sampson as Attomey-Gen., Arthur 
Fuller as Secy. for Agriculture, auid Sir Lewis 
Michel! as Minister without portfolio, ail of 
whom are referred to more particularly in 
other pages. The Premier will hâve to exercise 
ail his qualities of leadership to achieve the 
objects of his party, the immédiate task being 
the passing of an équitable redistribution bill, 
and the ultimate aim the ImperiîJ fédération 
of British S. Africa. But in spite of certain 
limitations, he possesses that knowledge of men 
and €b£Fairs, patience, sobriety of thought and 
action, imagination, capacity for hard work, 
and that necessary amount of da>ring which 
make for success. If he has not the magnetic 
power of a commanding personahty, he certainly 
does not fail in inspiring friendship and zeal, 
courage and persistence. He is a^îcessible and 
suave, well able to bear extrêmes of fortune. 



and haa never yet forgiven his one great failure. 
To the depeurtment over which Dr. Jameson now 
présides he brings a close knowledge of native 
oharacter and a keen appréciation of the neces- 
sity of raising the status and usefulness of the 
native. 

Dr. Jcuneson is a Director of the British 
SA. Co., and of the De Beers Consoli- 
dated Mines, and by the last oodicil of Mr. 
Cecil Rhodes* will, he was appointed a oo- 
executor and trustée thereof. He is not 
married.

C.M.G. (Apr. 1901), M.V.O. (1901), of 66, Park 
Street, Grosvenor Square, and of the Carlton, 
Marlborough and Bachelors* Clubs, is the eldest 
son of Sir Lewis Jarvis, of Middleton Towers, 
King's Lynn, where he was bom, Dec. 26, 
1855. He was educated at Harrow, and repre- 
sented King's Lynn as Conservative M.P. from 
1886 to 1892. 

As a member of the firm of Partridge & Jarvis, 

he was actively interested in the formation and 

control of a large number of Rhodesian under- 

takings. He was in Rhodesia when the Mata- 

bele RebeUion of 1896 broke out. He then 

accompanied the Volunteer forces in an un- 

attached capacity, but took command of a 

squadron on its leader being mortaHy wounded 

(medal). He was again in Rhodesia when 

the S.A. War opened in 1899, and joined the 

Rhodesian contingent under Col. Plumer, 

taking part in the relief of Mafeking. On 

leaving Plumer*s force at the end of 1900, CoL 

Jarvis came to England, but retumed three 

months later in command of the 21st Battn. of 

I.Y. serving with Col. Rimington's and Sir 

Henry Rawlinson's coliunns, during which time 

he took part in the successful drives under Gen. 

Bruce Hamilton, from the beginning of Nov. 

1901 to the end of Jan. 1902. Towards the end 

of the war Col. Jarvis was employed in putting 

up the Block-house Unes from Ermelo to 

Carolina in the North, and from Ermelo to the 

Swaziland Border on the East (S.A. medal 

and four clasps, €tnd King's medal and two 

cleisps). At the conclusion of hostilities his 

battn. was disbanded, but Col. Jarvis was 

given the hon. rank of Lient. -Col. in the Army, 

together with the dignity of C.M.G. On retum- 

ing to England he exchanged from the Derby- 

slure Yeomanry Cavalry to take command

Anglo-African Who's Who 



Hall, Ledbury, Herefordshire, and of the Junior 
United Service auid Turf (Cairo) Clubs, was born 
in Dublin, Aug. 15, 1846. He is son of the 
Yen. Eveuis Johnson, Archdeacon of Fems, euid 
Mary, dau. of Willicun Henry Heaton Armstrong, 
of Mount Heaton, and of Fcimey Castle, Ireland. 
He waâ educated at Cheltenham Coll., where 
he was in the Cricket XI. in 1864-5. He passed 
for Woolwich in June of that year, ajid joined 
the R.A. in January, 1868 ; went to India with 
the 9th Brig£Mie in 1869, and held charge of the 
Quetta Arsenal during the second Afghan Cam- 
paign and seige of Elandahar. He was several 
times thankedfor services by resolutions of the 
Bombay Govt. ; was mentioned in de- 
spatches, and his services were a second time 
brought to the notice of the Govt. of India by 
the Bombay Govt. He had charge of the 
Grand Arsenal, Bombay, from the close of the 
war, till invalided in 1882 (Afghan medal 
1879-82). He acted temporarily €is R.M. in 
Ireland, but resigned that appointaient to join 
the StafE of Gen. Val. Baker in Egypt in 1883. 
He served as Deputy Inspector-Gen. of 
Gendarmerie and Police for severeJ years there ; 
was made Lewa (Maj.-Gen.) by KhedivieJ 
decree in June, 1885. On the reorganisation of 
the Ministry of the Interior he joined the Ministry 
of Justice as Ohief Inspecter of Native Tribunals, 
but gave up that position in 1902 to undertake 
the establishment of model workshops, which 
were intended to serve as Technical Schools for 
Egyptien ctrtisans on a S3^tem suggested by 
him. 

About the year 1895, Johnson Pasha com- 
menced to dévote a portion of his spare time to 
the revival of the atncient ceramic industries of 
Egypt, which hcbd been almost abandoned, with 
such success that several potteries are now 
doing a fairly profitable trade in glazed pottery, 
and the industry shows promise of extensive 
development. llie development of the mining 
industry which has recently taken place in 
Egypt is also largely due to Johnson Pasha*s 
initiative. Between 1889-95 he spent most of 
his holidays in visiting the ancient mining 
centres in the Eaatem Désert, which he found 
to be muoh more numerous than Imd been 
supposed. 

As Capt. Johnson, he was secy. of the 
Mhow Tent Club from 1873-76, and won the 
sportsman's oontest at the Mhow Rifle Meeting 
in 1875. He published (1887) a translation of 
the Gulshan-i-Rckz in bleuik verse with some of 
the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayycun. A second 
publication (1893) oonteôns the Gulshan-i-Rckz, 



the introduction to the Diwan of Be-Dil, i

JOHNSON, Major Frank, of Finsbury Pa\ner 
ment House, London, E.C., and Erin Hotue» 
Clapham Park, S.W., was born in Norfolk In 
1866 ; was educated at King's Lynn Gram.. 
Sch. ; went out to S.A. in 1882, and for 
two years was a member of the Cape Civil 
Service. In 1884 he joined the 2nd Mounted 
Rifles imder Colonel (now Gen.) Sir Frederick 
Carrington, cuid took part in the Warren Ex* 
pedition to Bechuemalajid, at the close of which 
he joined the Bechuanaland Border Police, in 
which corps he met his future partners, Maurice 
Heany «uid H. J. Borrow. Drawn north by the 
reports of wealth in the interior, he left the 
B.B.P. early in 1886, and at Cape Town formed 
a small syndicate to obtain concessions in the 
Protectorate of Lobengula's country. He was 
successful in getting a big concession in Khama*8 
territory, which led to the foundation of the 
BechuaneJand Exploration Company. He then 
went to Lobengula's kraal, where he was one of 
the first white men who deired to ask the sable 
chief for a minerai concession. In 1889 Mr. 
Rhodes obtained his charter, and in the follow- 
ing year set about the effective occupation of 
Maâhonalajid, making, on somewhat original 
Unes, a contract with Frank Johnson to carry 
out the occupation, in which the latter waa 
aâsisted by two troops of B.S.A. Police, F. C. 
Selous acting as Intelligence Offîcer, and Frank 
Johnson getting the Colonial rank of Major — 
in other words he was pra,ctically, and came to 
be known as, the " Contracter " for Mashona- 
land. The chief commander of the whole ex- 
pédition was Col. Pennefather. After the occu- 
pation of MashoneJand he settled down in part- 
nership with He€uiy and Borrow, and a»cquired 
a number of mining and landed interests, which 
Tiltimately were merged into the United Rho- 
desia, Ltd. Capt. Borrow was killed at 
Shangani in the first Matabele War, euid Major 
Heany afterwards associated himself with the 
Partridge & Jarvis group. From 1890 Maj. 
Johnson made his headquarters at Cape Town, 
where he held a commission and took an active 
int«rest in the Cape Volunteer Forces. 

In 1896 he was one of the two Colonial officers 
chosen by the Cape Govt. as members of 
the Commission appointed by Parliament to

Anglo-African Who's Who 



inquire into the defences and forces of Cape 
Colony, the other members being Impérial offi- 
oers. The scheme of defence fînally recom- 
mended by the Commission was chieây based on 
that of Canada. At the end of 1896, at the out- 
breeJc of native troubles in Bechuanaland, Maj. 
Johnson was appointed Staff Offîcer of the 
Colonial Forces at the headquarters in Cape 
Town, and when cui expédition was finally de- 
spatched to the Langeberg e£trly in the ensuing 
year, under Col. Dalgetty, of the Cape Moiinted 
Biâes, Maj. Johnson was appointed Chief Sta£E 
Offîcer. At the close of the expédition he wa« 
specially thanked by the Cape Govt. for 
lus services. For the next three years he re- 
sided with his family in Salisbury, Bhodesia, as 
Managing Director of the Mashonaland Consoli- 
dated, Limited. In 1900 he retimied to Eng- 
land, and settled down in London as a Rhodesian 
financier and company director. He is now 
Chairman of the Bhodesia Consolidated and the 
Soottish Africfikn Trust, and is on the Boards of 
the French South African Development Co., 
Golden Valley (Mashonaland) Mines, Me^hona- 
land ConsoUdated, and the Bhodesia Cold 
Storage Co. He also took a leading part in the 
formation of the Bhodesian Landowners* Asso- 
ciation. He is a good game shot, an habituai 
motorist, and is married.

was educated in Canada and at Dulwich Collège, 
England. He has travelled extensively in 
Europe, North and South America and North 
fiuid South Africa. Conunercially his career

identifîed with many philanthropie works, and 
is on the Executive Commit tees of King Edward' s 
Hospital Fund and the Boyal Normal Collège 
for the Blind. Having seen so much of the 
British Empire in différent parts of the world, 
it is not surprising to fînd that he is an active 
member of the Council of the British Empire 
League, with the objects and usefulness of whose 
work he is profoundly impressed. An enthu- 
Biastic yachtsman, he is also fond of shooting and 



riding, and is a supporter of ail forms of healthy 
sport. He married, Dec. 4, 1902, Laura, fifth 
dau. of the 16th Lord St. John.

A maji of infinité variety, of high mental 
attainments, an fartist, naturalist, musician, 
student of human nature, and an Administrator, 
Sir Henry has had a career of great distinction, 
and may fairly be numbered amongst the band 
of empire builders who hâve done so muoh to 
make the présent âge illustrions. In 1880 cuid 
the two foÛowing years he explored Tunis, West 
Africa, and East AMca adding very considerably 
to our store of knowledge of thèse countries. He 
waâ in command of a scientifio expédition sent 
out by the Boyal Society to Mount Elilimanjaro 
in 1884. In 1885 he entered H.M. Consuleu: 
service as Vice-Consul for the Oil Bivers and the 
Cameroons ; Acting-Consul for the High Coast 
Protectorate, 1887 ; and in 1889 was appointed 
Consul for Portuguese East Africa. Later in 
that year (1889) he led an expédition to Lakes 
Nyassa and Tanganyika. In 1891 he was trans- 
ferred as H.M. Commissîoner Cj€uid Consul-Gen. 
for British Central Africa, and received gênerai 
récognition for the energy, tact, and sldll with 
which he carried out the délicate and difficult 
mission with which he was entrusted. At the 
same time he was appointed Impérial Commis- 
sioner for Nyassaland ajid Administrator of 
the British S.A. Co.'s territory north of the 
Zambesi. Under his able ctdministration great 
progress was made, raising Indian police, con- 
structing roads, establishing postal services, in- 
augurating schemes for the development of 
the resources of the country, and incidentally 
checking the slave trade which at that time was 
still engaged in about Lake Nyctôsa. In 1897 he 
took up the appointment of Consul-Gen. for 
Tunis, where he remained until 1899, in which 
year he received the appointment of Spécial 
Commissioner, Consul-Gen., axid Commander- 
in-Chief for the Uganda Protectorate, where he 
served with distinction until 1902. He is a 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



Director o£ the British C.A. Co. and was Près, 
for 1903 of the African Society. He con- 
tested the constituency of Bochester at a by- 
electi^n in Sept. 1903 in the Libéral interest, and 
was defeated by Mr. Charles Tuff by 621 votes. 
This choice of party by one whose record has 
been 30 far removed from Little Englandism 
waa received with keen dîsappointment by the 
majority of his Imperialist friends, but Sir H€urry 
justified his action on the grounds of the necessity 
for Fret Trade ajid the callousness of the Con- 
servative Govt. in foreign €kffairs, and more 
especially in what he describes as the physical 
well-being and éducation of Englishmen. 

Sir Hfurry is a fellow of many leamed Socie- 
ties. Be has exhibited pictures at the Royal 
Acaudemy and other galleries, whilst his sketches 
hâve given an additional value to many of his 
books. He has written Essays on the Tunisian 
Question (1880-1); on the Congo River, 1884; 
on Kilimanjaro, 1885 ; History of a Slave, 1889 ; 
Life of Livingstone, 1891 ; British Central Africa, 
1897 ; A History of the Colonisation of Africa 
by Alien Races, 1899 ; The Uganda Protectorate, 
1902 ; and also a number of Blue-books and 
Reports on Central Africa, which may be said to 
hâve introduced a style of writing up to his time 
quite foreign to the prosaic writings of his prede- 
œssors. 

He married, Oct. 15, 1896, the Hon. Winifred 
Irby, dau. of the 6th Lord Boston, and step-dau. 
of Sir Percy Andersen, K.C.B., late Assist. 
Under-Secy.» for Foreign Aftairs. 

JONES, SiB Alfred Lewis, K.C.M.G., J.P., 
of Oaklands Aigburth, Liverpool ; of Pendy- 
ffryn, Llanddiilas, Abergele, North WeJes ; and 
of the Constitutional (London), Palatine (Liver- 
pool) and the Liverpool Ciubs, was born at Car- 
marthen in 1845. He came to Liverpool when 
very yoxing, and received a sound commercial 
éducation at the Liverpool Coll. Young 
men entering on a business career in those 
days had to begin at an early âge, and Alfred 
Lewis Jones started at the bottom rung of the 
ladder in a shipowning and ship-broking firm in 
the great city on the Mersey, and slowly but 
surely mounted up to the top of his profession. 
Comparatively early, however, in his mercantile 
career he joined the famous firm of Elder Demp- 
ster & Co., a shipowning concern engaged in 
the trade between Liverpool and West Africa, 
and the intimate grasp he possessed of every 
branch of the shipping business made him so 
invaluable that he soon became part of the firm. 
From that moment his life has been one long 



séries of trading triumphs, and when the mi 
tude and variety of opérations in which he 
been engaged are taken into account, thert 
scarcely reason for wonder that Sir Alfre<* 
looked upon as perhaps the most succès 
living shipowner in the world. When he joix 
the Elder Dempster firm, the West African tri 
was exceedingîy small, and he very soon j 
ceived that one of the chief reasons for this vrw* 
the neglect by the Home Govt. of our pos- 
sessions in this part of the world. Whilst push<» 
ing and developing his own business with th© 
greatest pluok by building more modem steamers 
of larger cargo-carrying capacity «uid with vastly 
botter p£tssenger £bCcommodation, he also set 
himself the task of sedulously organizing th© 
traders, and at the same time ciiltivating friendly 
relations with the Colonial authorities, both at 
Whitehall and in our dependencies. The resuit 
of this is seen in the admittedly enormous im- 
provement which has taken place in récent years 
in every détail of the «wiministration of the West 
African Colonies, perhaps the greatest of thèse 
changes, and indeed one which has given rise to 
ail the rest being the sélection of the Grovernors 
from an eJtogether more suitable class of officiais, 
gentlemen who are at once practical, energetic 
and firm, €«id who fuUy recognize the impor- 
tance of removing ail needless obstructions to 
the CÉurying on of trading opérations. To 
enumerate afl the reforms which Sir Alfred Jones 
has almost personally been instrumental in 
bringing about in our West African possessions, 
would be to merely write a history of the modem 
progress of that part of the Empire. The word 
" personally '* is used hère advisedly, for though 
he is always ably assisted by the Liverpool 
Chamber of Commerce, of which he has been for 
some years the esteemed Président, yet the 
infinité tact he has displayed in entertaining the 
varions officiais when they paid visits to this 
country, and in approaching from the social side 
ail who h£id the power of helping West Africa, 
is undoubtedly the chief reason for the adoption 
of almost every one of the suggestions put for- 
ward by traders. It is indeed to Sir Alfred 
Jones that the great Colony of Nigeria owes its 
formation, for it is mainly his agitation which 
rang the death knell of the Royal Niger Co. 
as an administrative corporation ; it is cer- 
tainly a f act that there would not hâve been 
a single mile of railway, either at Lagos, Sierra 
Leone, or the Gold Coast, but for his advooacy 
and diplomatie skill, and it is an undoubted 
verity that every nook and corner in British 
West Africa bears testimony in some form or 



88 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



other to the untiring energy and indomitable 
resolution of the man who has been rather aptly 
styled "the Napoléon of West Africa," The 
wonderful suocess of the mosquito theory in the 
fight against the curse of West Africa, mcJaria, 
is mainly due to Sir Alfred's générons and deter- 
mined espousal of the cause, even from the time 
when, as is the case with nearly ail great dis- 
coveries, it is laughed at, and whether in lavishly 
helping forward this magnificent discovery by 
forming and endowing the Liverpool School of 
Tropical Medicine, in establishing educational 
institutes where young West Africans could 
corne over and finish their éducation in this 
country,in providing free passages on his steamers 
to ail and sundry who either wished to go out to 
the colonies or to come from thence to England, 
for the promotion of any scheme likely to for- 
ward the interests of our possessions or its inhabi- 
tants, or in arranging conférences between 
British traders and the varions Govemors, so 
that the a<lministration of the country should 
be conducted with the least possible friction, it 
may be literally asserted that Sir Alfred Jones 
has never rested in his efîorts to make West 
Africa the huge success it now is, both com- 
mercîally and politically. 

On the way to West Africa Ue the Canary 
Islands, and Sir Alfred soon saw the possibilities 
of the development of Las Palmas as a coaling 
station, as well as a valuable dépôt for collecting 
bananas from the varions islands, and filling up 
his vessels with the fruit which has now become 
«o popular in this country. As a coahng station 
Las Palmas is an unqualified success financially 
ajOid in every other way, and so great is the de- 
mand for bananas now in England, that the 
Canaries cannot produce nearly enough to meet 
our needs. Just as in West Africa, everywhere 
one goes in the Canary Islands bears évidence of 
the push and energy of the subject of the présent 
sketch, for he has made the place a mère winter 
annexe of this country by building hôtels, grant- 
ing spécial cheap fares for tourists, and in every 
way promoting the interests of the islands. 

Some years ago an opportunity occurred for 
Sir Alfred to acquire the business of the well- 
known Beaver Line, a passenger and cargo steam- 
ship service, riuining between Liverpool and 
Canada, and into the conduct of this venture he 
threw the same energy and skill that had stood 
him in so much stead in the West Airican trade. 
The possibilities of the Dominion in the way of 
providing food for the Mother-country were at 
once perceived, and he is the first of our ship- 
owners to fully grasp the tremendous économies 



in working which must resuit in such a tradd by 
the use of the modem mcufnmoth sized veisels» 
which carry about five or six times as mu^h as 
did the cargo boats of only a décade ago. It 
is only the other day that this business, then 
in the high tide of its prosperity, was sold 
to the Canadi6ui Pacific Bailway Co. by Sir 
Alfred for a sum which has been several times 
publicly stated at one and a half millions sterling. 
The impetus which is given to the trade of the 
Dominion and to the shipping business ingenered 
by the establishment of this line cannot >e over- 
estimated, for it is shown that with moderato 
freights and a good service, the possibilities of 
the expansion of commerce between Canida and 
Great Britain were far in excess of e^ previous 
estimâtes. 

During the Boer War thèse gigantie veesels 
proved of the greatest service to the State 
in conveying troops, horses and mules to 
S.A. ports from aU parts of the world, and 
the ieuct that his own services were thetehy 
largely disorganized in no way stood in the way 
of the head of the Elder Dempster Line patrioti- 
cally rendering ail possible assistance to the 
British Govt. 

It is natural that to such a man Mr. Cham- 
berlain would tum in invoking the cdd of an 
enterprising shipowner (of whom he is a strong 
Personal friend) to help the West Indies out of 
the dire stress into which it had been thiown by 
sugar bounties and the neglect of the develop- 
ment of its splendid resources, and though Sir 
Alfred has always protested that he got the 
worst of the bargain with the Colonial Secretary, 
the resuit of the establishment of the direct West 
India mail service, with its magniôcent fast 
passenger steamers and its obligation to bring 
home from Jamaica enormous quantities of 
bananas weekly, has been an unqu£jified good 
for the Island and has given a fillip to the trade 
and commerce of the place which, but for the 
récent unfortunate cyclone, would undoubtedly 
hâve soon made of it one of the most prospérons 
of our colonies. The disaster of a short time 
ago must hâve hit Sir Alfred very hard, for with 
his usual enterprise he had opened up hôtels 6uid 
promoted ail sorts of businesses likely to be 
helpful to the place, and it is to be hoped that 
the Government in coming to the assistance of 
the Colony will take into account the material 
service rendered to Jcunaica by the great Liver- 
pool shipowner. The development of the 
banana trade since the line was established has 
been prodigious, and the fa^ît that he is chiefiy 
responsible for the initiation and the présent 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



position of this treiffîOywhich has made the banana 
the f ood and fruit of the pauper as well as of the 
peer of this country, is one of the achievements 
on whioh Sir Alfred may be most sincerely 
congratulated. 

As a publie man Sir Alfred Jones has over 
and over again been asked to stand for Farlia- 
ment, but he knows full well that he C£kn be of 
greater assistance to the Commonwealth out- 
side St. Stephen's and has wisely refused many 
of the safest seats, but as Président of the Liver- 
pool Chamber of Commerce he has inûnite oppor- 
tunities for serving his country, and no appeal 
to his purse or his time in this direction is ever 
met with a refusai. Besides this he is Chairman 
of the Liverpool Steam Shipowners' Association, 
is Consul in Liverpool for the Congo Free State, 
and is Près, of the Liverpool School for the Study 
of Tropical Dise€ises. To find time for ail the 
public work involved in thèse by no mesuis 

sinecurial " positions, and to be Chairm6ui of 
the Elder Dempster Shipping Co., Ltd., the 
British & African Steam Navigation Co., Ltd., 
the Lnperial Direct West India Medl Service Co., 
Ltd., the Bank of British West Africa, and of 
Elders & Fyffes, Ltd. (the great Canada firm) 
would seem a superhuman task, but Sir Alfred 
gets through it ail with the utmost coolness, and is 
withal perhaps the most courteous and approach- 
able man in England. Quite recently he served 
on the Committee appointed by the AdmircJty 
to inquire into the question of our Naval 
Réserves, ajid in récognition of his great services 
to West Africa and Jameûca he was decorated 
in 1901 with his K.C.M.G., whilst Jésus Coll., 
Oxford, has conferred on him the degree of 
Honorary Fellow. 

JONES, John Franz, C.M.G., of 41, Hat- 
field Road, St. Albans, and of the New Club, 
was bom July 29, 1861. He joined the staff 
of the British S.A. Co. upon its forma- 
tion. In 1896 he was appointed Asst.-Secy., 
and when Mr. Herbert Canning resigned in 1898, 
he succeeded him as Secy. In adcStion to that 
post he was made Joint-Manager with Mr. 
Wilson Fox in 1902. He also represents the 
large interests of the Chartered Co, on the Boards 
of several Rhodesian undertckkings. Although 
Mr. Jones' knowledge of Rhodesia was exceâ- 
ingly extensive, he had never been to that 
country until, at the latter end of 1902, he 
accompcmied Mr. Beit, Dr. Jameson, and Sir 
Lewis Mitchell on a trip extending right through 
Matabeleland and Mashonaland, where he 
acquired a practical acqucûntance with the 



country' s conditions of the greatest adv6uit£ 
to him in the interests of the Company he so al 
serves. In récognition of his services to t 
Govt. in connection with the S.A. War he w 
made a C.M.G. in Oct. 1902.

the retirement in 1901 of Sir Jacob D. Barry. In 
1891, during the absence of the Chief Justice from 
the Colony, he occupied the position of Senior 
Puisne Judge in the Suprême Court while Sir 
John Buchcinan was Acting Chief Justice. At 
Kimberley he was Président of the Agricultural 
Soc, Chairmaji of the Public Schools, and Prési-

man worked harder than the hero of Kimberley 
in the defence of that town. Lord Roberts 



was of opinion that the greatest crédit wcks 
to Col. Kekewich for the able dispositions w]i 
he made for the defence of Ejmberley, an 
walled town, spread over a wide area, for 
rapid organization of an auxiliary force whj 
in conjunctîon with the regular troops, enal

govemment being granted to the Colony in 1893, 
and was retumed to the Législative Council in 
1 898. For f ourteen yeaxa Mr. Kirkman haa served 
in the Volunteer force, seeing active service for 
eight months in the Zulu War, 1 878-79. He takes 



an interest in co£Eee planting and microscop 
studies, and was elected a Fellow of 
Royal Microscopic£j Soc. in 1898. He is 
married. 



KITCHTN, Joseph, of Beckenham, Kent, 
was bom at Croydon, Surrey, on Dec. 18, 1870^ 
and is therefore still a young man. Aftar 
leaving school at the early âge of 14} years, ha 
followed the occupations of shorthand writor, 
reporter and joumcJist. Early in Johannes- 
burg's life he became attracted by the progrès» 
of the world's premier goldfileld; he made a 
systematic collection and study of information 
relating to Rand mining, and prepared much 
statistical matter, which was published in seven 
or eight newspapers, one in Johannesburg, 
another in Pcuris, and the rest in London. After 
conunencing the préparation of a work dealing 
with the history and position of S. A. 
COS., he decided, instead of publishing 
a book of his own, to co-operate with Mr. C. S. 
Goldmann in his work on " South Airican 
Mining and Finance," a three-volume work which 
saw the light in Nov. 1895. In September, 
1895, he gave up his scattered joumalistio 
contributions in order to become the Mining 
Editer of the " African Review," a position 
which he resigned in May, 1897, in order to 
enter the service of A. Qoerz & Co., Ltd., 
taking charge of that Company's Litelligence 
Dept. in London. In 1899 he paid a six 
months' visit to Johannesburg in the interest 
of the Company, and before returning to Eng- 
land accomplished some 3500 miles of travelling 
in the sub-Continent, visîting Pretoria, Belfast, 
Barberton, Lourenço Marques, Durban, Cape 
Town and Ejmberley, and gaining a considér- 
able insight into the actual working of the 
mining industry. In Sept. 1899, he was ap- 
pointed a second Meumger of the Company 
in London, and in the spring of 1901 he became 
sole Manager in London. He has now served 
the Goerz Corporation for seven years, at first 
under the lato Mr. Adolf Goerz and lattorly 
under Mr. Henry Strakosch, the two Managing 
Directors who took up résidence in the Metro- 
polis. Since the commencement (on a very 
modest scale) of his business career he has never 
looked back and has consistontly moved for- 
waxd. He is a hard worker, and dabbles a little 
in science. He takes great interest in ail that 
affects the gold mining industry, though being 
of a somewhat retiring nature he does not corne 
much into public view. On January 1, 1892,

KLIMKE, Joseph, Ex-State Mining En- 
gineer of the late S.A.B., a ILnight of the French 
Légion of Honour, Knight of the Prussicm Red 
Eagle, Third Class, Commander of the Portu- 
guese " Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao de Villa 
Viçosa," of which latter order he wears the Star ; 
was bom Oct. 6, 1849 in Upper Silesia, 
Germany, and is the son of a small farmer. 
After tending a two years' course at a collège 
în his native country,he entered at the âge of 
twenty the profession of mining. Left to his 
own resources he did two years* manual work 
as a miner and mechcmic in coal and métal 
mines. At the end of this period he obtained 
two years' instruction at a mining school, 
and therefore he received three more years* 
trstining in engineering and mine surveying 
offices. After being admitted as Gîovt. 
Mine Surveyor, he practised a short time and 
then took up an appointment as captain of a 
zinc and lead ore mine. In 1880 he was ap- 
pointed manager of a gold mining company 
in Guayana, Venezuela. On arriving in S. 
America he vigorously devoted himself to 
attadning a knowledge of the Spanish language 
and the local conditions of the country. Shortly 
after his arrivai he removed to the adjoining 
El Callao gold field. He acquired from the 
Univ. of Caracas the diploma of Civil Engineer, 
and was subsequently instructed to draw up the 
working plans for the once famous El Callao 
a,nd other adjacent mines. In 1887 he re- 
tumed to Europe, but after a very brief stay he 
went on a tour of inspection to the Transva^l, 
arriving there in Feb., 1889, about the close 
of the first boom. Anticipating a great future 
for the Rand he settled at Johannesburg as 
Consulting Engineer, and was appointed in 
Sept. 1891 by the Govt. as State Mining 
Engineer. At that time the position did not 
carry much power or responsibility, but seeing 
that with the rapid development of the mines 
the number of accidents increased at such a 
serions rate he undertook to draw up the ne- 
cess£u:y rules and régulations for the Govt's 
supervision of aU mining opérations, 
and over ail boilers and m£bchinery, and to 
establish a proper technical mining départ- 
ment. Hitherto, the Mining Dept. had 
confined itself to the carrying ont of the pro- 
visions of the Grold Law, consisting chiefly in the 
disposai of minerai lands and water rights, «md 
receiving the taxes from the proclaimed gold 



fields. The oonâicting interests, however, of the 
varions pcurties of the mining publie, and the 
opposition of the Govt. itself ctnd the Volksraad 
to every new measure from which no direct 
pecuniary retums were derived, mcMle it a 
diffîcult t€t8k to obtcûn the object in view. 
After several yecirs of ceaseless effort, however, 
he succeeded in obtaining the Volksraad' s 
sanction to the Mining Régulations and the 
Boiler Law in their latest forms. Sinœ those 
two biUs came in force the use of the metric 
System in plctce of the old measures and weights 
was legaUzed as f af as his department was oon- 
cemed. At the beginning of the war he was on 
leave of absence in Europe when e^ the mines 
stopped working. Some of thèse were imxne- 
diately restarted by officiais of his depcuianent. 
When in the early days of Feb. 1900 ru- 
meurs reaxîhed Europe expressing fear that the 
mines might be blown up by the Boers he re- 
tumed inunediately to the Transvaal, and it is 
stated that he arrived just at the time when 
with the consent of the Grovt. and by the 
order of his représentative bore-holes made 
in some of the working shafts to prépare for 
their eventual destruction. Being convinced 
that wanton destruction of this chareicter was 
very ill advised he inunediately had thèse holes 
filled up. In the meantime as much gold as 
possible had been extreicted. The Govt, 
however had fedled to pay a portion of the work- 
ing cost, while indebtedness to €ui enormous 
extent had been incurred for supplies with 
varions commercial houses of Johannesburg. 
He vigorously pressed the Govt, for an 
immédiate settlement of thèse a^scounts, and 
took measures to put the produced gold under 
proper control. AlS a resuit of this he was sus- 
pended from service, but permitted to retum 
to Europe. Since that time he has been living 
in Grermany and in London, but as an ex-burgher 
of the late repubUc it is iniderstood that he 
intends to settle later on at Johemnesburg. At 
the end of 1903 he was summoned to Turkey» 
on professional business, in connection with the 
Govt. of that country. 

KOCK, Antonte François, is the son of the 
late Gren. J. H. M. Koek, emd grandson of 
Com. J. H. L. Kock. His grcuidfather, who 
was one of the Boer Pioneers (Voortrekkers), 
fought against the English under Warren at 
Boomplaats. His father, Gen. Kock, acted 
before the annexation of the Transvaal to the 
British in 1877 as Member of the Volksraad, 
and in the war of 1880-81 he acted as Vecht- 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



Gen. over the District of Potohefstroom. 
Advooate Kook was bom at Bronkhurstfontein 
District, Fotchefstroom, Sept. 20» 1869. He was 
educated at Potchefstroom and Pretoria. In 
1885 he took the Kepubliccui Scholarship at 
Pretoria, and was sent to the Netherleuids, where 
he attended the Gjnnnasiam at Doetinchem. 
As the scholarship was subject to certain re- 
strictions his father renounced it, giving his 
son a iree hand. In 1891 he went to Scotland, 
and during his stay there he revived the S.A. 
Union at Edinburgh. At that time he was 
endeavouring to establish a Union of ail South 
Airicans in Europe. Aiter remaining seven 
months in Edinburgh he went to London, where, 
in 1892, he was admitted as a student of the 
Middle Temple. He was called to the English 
Bar, and edier a short visit to Paris he went to 
Delagoa Bay in June 1895, and attended the 
inauguration of the Delagoa Bay Railway as 
Member of the Festivities Coniniittee. He was 
admitted e^s Advooate, after aji examination 
in the "LocaX Laws of the Transvaal, to the Pigh 
Court of the S.A.R. On June 8, 1897, he was 
appointed a Puisne Judge of the S.A.R. Among 
other weU known cases he def ended Col. Ferreira, 
who was tried for having " maliciously, wrong- 
fully and illegally pegged ofE the property " 
of J. B. Robinson at Randfontein. He secured 
the acquittai of the colonel. He made himself 
noterions at the trial of Constable Jones (over- 
which he presided) for the murder of the Eng- 
lishman Edgar, by declaring when he discharged 
the prisoners with a verdict of not guilty " that 
he hoped that the police under difficult cir- 
cumstances would always know how to do 
their duty." In the troublons poUtical times 
before the war he showed himself an uncom- 
promising opponent of the British. 

At the meeting of burghers at Paardekraal, 
Krugersdrorp, to discuss the coming war, he 
addressed the burghers urging them to main- 
tain their rights as an independent Republic 
agcdnst Great Britain. At the outbreak of 
the war he accompanied his father, who was 
appointed Assist. Comdt. Gen., and was présent 
at Elandslaagte, and with him when he 
was mortally wounded. A few months later 
he joined Assist. Comdt. Lucas Meyer. After 
being with the Boers before Ladysmith 
for some time he went with Gen. Meyer to 
Colenso, and during the battle of Spion Kop 
he was in command at Colenso, reinforcing 
the Spion Kop position with about 1,500 
burghers, and at the scune time kept the 
Britifi^ at bay at Colenso and the lower peurt 



of the Tugela River. After remaining thi 
months he left Colenso on leave for Pretori 
and was in that city during the retreat of tl 
burgher forces from Colenso and Ladysmit 
He there arranged, in conjunction, it is sai 
with State Secy. Reitz, to destroy the mines ai 
meet the British on their ruins. He was pr 
vented from doing this, and was arrested b 
Dr. Krause on June 2, who in making tb 
ajrest asserted that he £M3ted under instru< 
tions of Commdt; Gen. Louis Botha. Afte 
being confined in a fort he was taken unde 
armed escort to Pretoria, and was lodged in > 
room on the racecourse amongst about 5,00l 
English prisoners of war. He was releasec 
after neurowly falling into the hands of Lorc 
Roberts, and went to join the forces rounc 
Pretoria, where he was sÛghtly wounded in the 
leg. Retreating with the burghers he arrived 
at Machadodorp, where as Président of Courts- 
Martial he tried the Cooper case, at Mcichado- 
dorp, where the prisoner was sentenced to be 
shot for having blown up a railway bridge with 
dynamite on the Delagoa Une, causing the 
death of a night-watch ; and the case of Pienaar, 
a Boer Comdt., who was sentenced to six 
months' imprisonment with hard labour at 
Nelspruit, for attempted fraud on the Trans- 
vaal Govt. Proceeding to Delagoa Bay, 
after an attempt upon his life, he was arrested 
by the Portuguese authorities, lodged in a 
fort for three days, and then requested to leave 
the bay for Europe. He went to Paris and met 
Près. Kriiger. He then visited the Boer prison- 
ers of war at Portugal, and subsequently made 
several attempts to get back to the scène of war 
in S. A. and finally succeeded. He was, 
however, captured by the British and locked 
up for ten weeks, when he was tried as a rebel 
spy. He was found guilty and sentenced to be 
shot, but a^quitted on a légal point rcûsed by 
him and upheld by the State Attomey at Pre- 
toria. He was thereupon banished for life, 
but succeeding in escaping and making his way 
up country as far as Estcourt. He then went 
to Pretoria and surrended himself under the 
terms of surrender, but he was again arrested 
cmd lodged in the Artillery Camp. He finally 
took the oath of allegiance and was Uberated. 
He is at présent practising as an Advooate in 
Johannesburg and editing the newspaper ** De 
Transvaaler.*' 

KOHLER, Chaules William Henby, J.P., 
of Riverside, Paarl, C.C., and of the City Club» 
C.T., is the eldest son of William Kôhler, Archi-

tect, and Mary Fletcher Hutchinson. He was 
bom Oct. 14, 1862, at Calvinia, C.C., and edu- 
cated at Mr. Close's Sch. and (the Rev. 
Hole's) Trinity Coll , C.T. Mr. Kôhler was one 
of the earliest pioneers of Johannesburg ; he was 
Chairman of the Aurora G.M., Co. ; Managing 
Director of the Unified G.M. Co, ; Chairman of 
the Pa€trl Pretoria Co., and Director of the 
Langlaagte United Co, 1888-89. He purchased 
Riverside in 1890, and has since carried on wine 
farming very successfuUy. Mr. Kôhler stood 
for the Législative Assembly for Stellenbosch in 
1895, but retired on nomination day. He was 
nominated by Stellenbosch, Somerset West, etc., 
to contest a seat for the Cape Législative Coun- 
cil, Aug. 1903. He is a Member of the Cape 
Board of Horticulture, and was a Lient, in the 
Paarl D.M.T. in 1901. 

KOTZÉ, John Gilbebt, LL.B., K.C, was 
bom at Leeuwenhof, C.T. on Nov. 5, 1849. 
He is the youngest son of the late P. J. 
Kotzé, who was Member for C.T. in the 
House of Assembly, and was twice Major of 
that city. Judge Kotzé was educated at 
the S.A. Coll. ; took the degree of LL.B. 
at the London Univ. in Jan. 1873, and was 
called to the Béu: by the Honourable 
Society of the Inner Temple on April 30, 
1874. He practised at the Bar of the Suprême 
Court, C.T., and of the Eastern Districts 
Court at Grahamstown ; was appointed Judge 
of the High Court of the Transvaal Pro- 
vince during the period of British annexation 
on May 19, 1877, which appointment he held 
until the rétrocession of the country in Aug., 
1881 ; was appointed one of the Commissioners 
under the Pretoria Convention to investigate 
and compensate claims for losses and 
injuries sustained during the first Boer War, 
and became Chief Justice of the late S.A.R., 
August 9, 1881. He was Chairman of the Board 
of Examiners in Literature and Science of that 
State from 1890-98, and was created a Knight 
Grand Cross of the Order of the linmacuLÉite 
Conception by H.M. the Eling of Portugal in 
May 1896, in récognition of his services in the 
late Transvaal Republic. In conséquence of 
his judgment in the case of Brown v, Leyde, 
in which he held that a VolksraAd resolution 
could not override the Grondwet or Constitu- 
tion of the country, and because he refused 
to renounce the right of testing the proceedings 
of the Executive and Volksraad by référence 
to the Grondwet, he was siunmarily and 
illegally dismissed from office as Chief Justice 



by ex-Pres. Krûger in Feb. 1898. He was 
appointed Attomey-Gren. of Southern Rho- 
desia with a seat in the Executive and Legis^ 
lative Councils of that territory, Aug. 1900 ; 
acted as Administer of Southern Rhodesia 
during the absence of Sir William Milton, 
K.C.M.G. from May to Oct. 1902; and was 
appointed Judge of the Suprême Court of the 
Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, April 16, 
1903. Mr. Kotzé, together with the late Mr. 
Frederick Jeppe, edited the Transvaal Statute 
Book 1845-1885. He has also edited three 
volumes of reports of cases decided by the 
High Court at Pretoria 1877-88, andhastrans- 
lated into English, from the original Dutch, 
Simon Van Leeuwen's Commentcuies on Roman 
Dutch Law in 2 vols, royal 8vo. He married» 
in 1872, Mary Aurélia, dau. of the late Daniel 
Bell of Milton House, Clapham, Surrey. 

E[RIGE, GiDEON JoHANNBS, M.L.A., re- 
presents the électoral division of Stellenbosch 
in the Cape House of Assembly to which he 
was lekst re-elected in the Bond interest in Feb. 
1904. 

E^RÛGER, Stephanus Johaitnes Paulus» 
ex-Pres. of the S.A.R., was bom Oct. 
10, 1825, in the Colesberg District of the 
ce. He was reajred in a hcord schooly 
his rough training on the veld, during 
which his life often depended on his recMli- 
ness of resouroe, présence of mind and 
physical strength, early in life endowed him 
with those qualities of self-reli6uice and resouroe 
which were to prove so useful to him in his 
later years. His boyhood was spent in the 
manner familiar to the Boers of the early days 
— ^farming, hunting, and trekking. There were 
no facilities for his receiving any scholastio 
training, and even now he has added nothing to 
his natural sageuîity by book-reading. Suoh 
as it was, however, Paul liriiger's early trcûning 
encouraged those characteristics which enabled 
him to lead the movement which wrested the 
control of the Transvaal from the most for- 
midable empire the world has yet seen, and to 
hold his own for years in the face of opposition 
bef ore which the boldest might well hâve quailed. 
At the âge of ten he £kccompajiied his father on 
the great trek in securch of a new country where 
they might settle, untrammelled by the re- 
strictions of civilized govemment. At that 
time the territory lying between the Vetal and 
the Limpopo rivers was being raided by Mosili- 
katsi, a Zulu sub-chief who had seceded from 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



the main body of his nation with a large ninnber 
of followers, and young Kriiger — ^then a lad 
of twelve years — saw £as fîrst active service 
under Comdt. Potgeiter. Soon after Mr. 
Kriiger served under Comdt. Fretorius in the 
opérations against Dingaan, and was présent at 
the desperate fight which took place at the 
Blood River <m Dec. 16, 1838, where the few 
Boers gained a great viotory which it has been 
their custom to celebrate every year since then. 
He aiso took part in the primitive expédition 
against Mosilikatsi in 1839. 

In 1841 Mr. Kriiger became a Field Ck>met. 
In 1852 he was appointed Comdt. of the 
Districts of Pretoria and Potchefstroom, and 
in 1856 he began to make for himself a position 
in local politics, associating himself with Gen. 
Pretorius in his attempt to join the three inde- 
pendent commimities of Lydenburg, Zout- 
pansberg, and Potchefstroom under one Govt., 
with a new Volksraad, constitution, and capital 
in Potchefstroom. Pretorius aIso sought to 
absorb the O.F.S., and demanded in the 
Volksraad at Bloemfontein that the adminis- 
tration of the O.F.S. should be handed over 
to him. Being ordered to leave the coun- 
try, however, he retumed to the TrcmsvasJ, 
collected an army» and marohed with it back 
to the Free State, but was met on the bcuiks of 
the Rhenoster River by Free State forces. A 
conférence was afterwards held, and Pretorius 
bound himself not again to enter the O.F.S. 
without permission of its Oovt. Many Free 
Staters who had joîned the northem invaders 
were then tried for high trecuson, and it is on 
record how their sentences were reduced to 
nominal ânes owing to the solicitations of 
Messrs. Kruger and Steyn. As a matter of 
interest in E^owing the trend of Mr. Kriiger*s 
character in those fîrst days of his public 
career, the Près, of the Free State, referring 
to tins invasion, stated in the Raad that hehad 
proof that the raiders had made a hideous 
complot with the Basutos under Mosheshto join 
in the attcMsk against the Orange RepubUc. 

In 1862 Mr. Kriiger became Comdt.-Gen., 
and was elected a member of the Executive 
Council 

Some years later (1877) he pronûsed Près. 
Burgers his support on the question of the 
inévitable annexation of the Transvetal, but 
Mr. Kriiger seoretly prompted the résistance 
of the irreconcilables, and eventually (May 
1877) left for England with Pr. Jorrisen to pro- 
test against the measure. But it was not 
thought that either member of the commission 



reeJly wished the Aot of Annexation to be i 
nulled. In fact on retuming to the Transvj 
they both took office under the British Qo^ 
Mr. Ejriiger only relinquishing his post owi 
to the refusai of the Qovt. to increajse his i 
muneration. 

After the Convention of 1881 Mr. Kriiger . 
Vice-Pres. formed one of the triumvirate : 
whom the Govt. was vested, but in 1882 the o] 
form was restored and he was elected Près. < 
the Transvetal State. From this time M 
Ejriiger's history is the history of the Tram 
vaal. His policy soon began to declfiore itsell 
In that year the fîrst of many laws was passet 
extending the term of résidence for ediens t< 
qualif y for naturalisation from one to fîve years 
Soon foUowed the granting of monopolies, th< 
agitation for the removal of the Suzerainty and 
freedom in their extemal relations, whilst he 
aiso looked coround for new countries to be 
acquired. Thus Mr. Kriiger*8 Govt. annexed 
Mafeking and part of Bechuanaland until the 
Warren Expédition caused a retreat; part of 
Zululand was taken over, and hungry eyes were 
tumed towards Swaziland (the cession of 
which we ultimately permitted). In 1890-91 
an expédition was sent to Chartered territory, 
but was appropriately tumed back at Rhodes' 
Drift. Tongaland was also coveted. Mean- 
while in 1884 the Près, and Mr. Smit proceeded 
to Europe to endeavour to obtain some modifica- 
tion of the Convention and to raise much 
needed funds, in both of which they were only 
pcfftially successful. But the discovery of gold 
at Moodies in 1885-6, and on the Witwatersrand 
later, brought revenue to the country, \iduoh 
enabled Mr. Kriiger to pursue his schemea 
without remed3ring the ill-condition of the 
Govt., or providing for the large population 
which began to flock into the country, and 
without eSlowm^ it, after reasonable résidence» 
a participation m the management of State or 
even Municipal affairs. PoUtical eigitation for 
reforms, improved ways of communication^ 
remission of taxes, security of titles, etc., gave 
birth to the Transvaal Republican Union of 
Johannesburg. The Witwatersrand Chcunber 
of Mines was aJso formed partly to protect 
shareholders' interests, and for eight years this 
Chamber pleaded to the Volksraad for reforma 
and r^reeentation. But Mr. Kriiger remained 
obdurate. Législation was passed making this 
practically an impossibility to the then uving 
génération of Uitlanders who had taken up their 
résidence in the Republic. Railwa3rs were kept 
out of the coimtry as long as possible, and then

construction was only permitted under such 
terms as were granted under the Netherleuids 
Railway ajid Selati Kcdlway concessions, in 
which connection it may be mentioned that the 
Selati Railway Co., in order to obtcôn its con- 
cession» had to pay bribes or make présents to 
many members and officiais of the First Volks- 
raad. The dynamite concession was another 
iniquitous burden upon the industry which had 
built up the fortunes of the country. Près. 
Kruger resolutely set himself against miti- 
gating the abuses which thèse concems im- 
posed upon the legitimate industries on the 
Transv8kal. It is true that he secured the 
Ra€kd's cancellation of the latter concession, 
but in a few months it was renewed in a still 
more obnoxious form. 

In 1888 Mr. Kriiger was re-elected Près, 
without much opposition, Gen. Joubert re- 
ceiving but few votes, but in 1893 he only 
defeated the General by 7,881 votes to 7,009. 
About this time Mr. Krûger's control over 
affairs appeared to be none too sure. Accord- 
ingly, in défiance of the Grondwet (Constitu- 
tion) he appointed Mr. Koch, the Landdrost and 
Polling Officer of Potchefstroom, who had con- 
trived the defeat of Mr. Esselen at the late 
élection, Minute Keeper to the Executive with 
the right to vote, which, with the Présidentes 
casting vote, assured the latter the prédominant 
voice in the council. His position thus strength- 
ened, the Près, tumed his attention to other 
matters, endeavouring, not without some 
success, to subordinate justice in the courts 
to the requirements of his govemment, cur- 
tailing the liberty of the Press, and withholding 
the right of public meetings and political or- 
ganization. However, the attempt to wrest 
trom the High Court the décision in the cyanide 
case while still svb judice miscarried ; the en- 
deavour to deprive the mines of their Bewaar- 
platsen rights only failed after the Minister of 
Mines had, on lus own responsibility, issued 
the claim Ucenses, and so forced the Volksraad 
to face the issue of confirming or reversing his 
action — an alternative which the Govt. could 
not afford. 

Mecuiwhile Mr. Esselen had acoepted the 
State Attomeyship for a short period, during 
which he brought about great reforms in the 
détective and police departments, €uid his 
activity in puttîng down the illioit liquor traffîc 
amongst the natives was so pronounced that 
back-door influence was not long in making his 
office untenable. Dr. Coster, a Hollander, 
succeeded him and was found more amenable 






to the Pretorian oligarchy. Laws were passed 
in défiance of the provisions of the Grondwet, 
and were made retro-active, and on sevrai 
occ€ksions the Près, and Executive forced re- 
versais of the décisions of the High Court. 
Affairs were in this condition when, late in 1895, 
reform was despaired of by ordinary methods, 
and a resort to force was freely talked of as a 
last resource. A Reform party was organized» 
under the presidency of Mr. Charles Léonard, 
6uid eventiially the active assistance of the 
capitalist élément was won over to the move- 
ment. Dr. Jameson was detained on the 
western border of the Republic by Mr. Rhodes's 
orders as moral support, and to come to assist- 
ance in case of urgent necessity, but so quiet 
were the préparations that even Mr. Kruger did 
not realize the length to which matters had 
gone. When at length old Hans Botha wamed 
the -Près, of the danger, he replied in his charcMï- 
teristic way that " 8 they wanted to kill a tor- 
toise they must wait until he put his head out 
of the shell." Meanwhile he received several 
deputations to induce him to make reasonable 
concessions, and then Mr. Krîiger's plan of 
procrastination began to reach a height which 
had never previously been attained. He would 
promise nothing, but said that he would do his 
best to see that duties on food stufîs were re- 
moved pending confirmation by the Volksraad ; 
that equal subsidies would be gramted to Eng- 
lish as to Dutch schools, and that the Nether- 
lands Rcdlway would be approeuîhed with a 
view to the réduction of rates, but that it was 
impossible to grant the franchise to the Uit- 
lander. The leaders, however, could hâve no 
faith in thèse sissurances, and mfiU^ters were 
hastened by Dr. Jameson crossing the border, 
on Dec. 29, notwithstanding his distinct orders 
to the contrary. The following night Près. 
Kriiger, recognizing that the brealong point 
was nearly reached, issued a proclamation wam- 
ing persons from disturbing the pea<^, and 
stating that the Govt. was prepared to consider 
grievances without delay. Delegates of both 
parties met in fa^ît in Pretoria, but their de- 
Uberations resulted in nothing further than the 
Boer members having procured a full list of 
members of the Conmûttee; the Uitlander 
delegates were handed copy of a resolution 
stating that the High Conunissioner's inter- 
vention had been accepted, and that the grie- 
vances would be ecumestly considered. The 
surrender of Dr. Jantôson's force foUowed hard 
upon this, but the Près, thought that he had 
still to reckon with 20,000 armed Uitlanders in 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



Johannesburg, and although the doctor's sur- 
render was acoepted oonditionally upon ail 
lives being spared, he proceeded to let it be 
known that the doctor*s life depended absolutely 
upon aU arms being laid down in Johannesburg, 
at the same time stating to the High Com- 
missioner that disarmament must be précèdent 
to any discussion of grievances. Acoordingly 
ail arms were surrendered in good faith from 
Jan. 6 to 8y and on the foUowing day Près. 
Ktiiger's " Forgive and Forget " policy waa 
inaugurated bytheBeformers to the number of 
over sixty being arrested, tried, and found 
g^lty of high treason, the four leaders being 
oondemned to death and the others to fines of 
£2,000 each, two years' imprisonment and three 
years' banishment. Soon after thèse sentences 
were pronounced Govt. agents were at work 
trying to persuade the Committee to pétition in 
humiliating terms to the ** proved magnanimity 
of the Govt. " ; and to make statements impli- 
oating one 6uiother for their complicity in the 
revolutionary movement, and so on. Mean- 
while the gaol treatment was telling severely 
upon the prisoners, one of whom had already 
died by his own hand. On May 20, ten were 
liberated, and most of the other sentences were 
oommutcMi to lesser terms of imprisonment, but 
so great was the feeling growing throughout 
the country agcûnst Mr. Kriiger's " Cat and 
Mouse" treatment that monster pétitions, 
headed by two hundred S.A. mayors, at 
last (May 30) effected the release of ail the 
prisoners (with the exception of Messrs. Woolls- 
Sampson axid Davies and the four leaders) 
conditionally on the fines being paid 6md each 
binding himiself not to meddle in the internai or 
extemal politics of the State for three years. 
After much bargcûning with the leaders, Mr. 
EjTuger liberated the latter on payment of a fine 
of £25,000 each and an undertaking not to 
meddle in politics for fifteen years. 

Negotiations went on in a desultory way. 
An Industrial Commission of Inquiry was 
appointed by the Executive at the President*s 
request, and a meus of swom évidence was taken. 
In the report which foUowed numerous recom- 
mendations were made with the end in view 
of prospering the industries of the State and 
benefiting the country as a whole, but Mr. 
Kruger £clined to adopt tiie recommendations, 
and even charged the chaîrman of the oonmiittee, 
Mr. Schalk Burger, with being a traiter to his 
country for having put his name to such a 
report. Ultimaiély nothing was done of any 
benefit to the Uitlander interests involved, and 



it became apparent that little was to be gain 
by British diplomacy. Mr. Kruger, who w 
elected Près, of the S.A.R. for the fourth ai 
last time in Feb. 1898, was hurryîng armamen 
into the Transvetal to such an extent that it w« 
necessary toreinforce the British gcurrison in S.i 
The climax was reached when the Près. d« 
livered the ultimatum in Oct. 1899 which brougl 
on the S.A. War, through the early part of whic 
he remetined in the [country, urging and ec 
couraging his people to victory, but when thi 
seemed at length a remote possibility, hi 
fiight to Europe was rapidly decided upon 
ajid the ex-President*s énergies were devoted un- 
successfully to obtaining foreign intervention 
and successfully to stirring up Anglophobia 
on the Continent. But Mr. Kriiger was already 
an old man, and this final blow — ^the defeat of 
his people and the loss of his country — ^mfiorked 
pra^îtically the end of his public life. 

Strong, fanaticàl, obstinate, shrewd and 
autocratie, Mr. Kruger never concealed his 
dislike to, and mistrust of, the Uitlanders. 
When the Barberton rush broùght comparative 
affluence to the country he never once visited 
the town, 6md only on three occasions did he 
visit Johannesburg during nine years, cJthough 
the law of the lemd prescribed that the Près. 
should visit every town and district yearly. 
As évidence of this dislike it is remembered 
that in addressing a mixed crowd at Ejrugers- 
dorp, where some detested ediens might be pré- 
sent, he began " Burghers, friends, thieves, mur- 
derers, newcomers, and others." Neverthelees he 
did not scruple to commandeer their services for 
the war against Malaboch, until diplomatie 
représentations from Lord (then Sir Henry) 
Loch secured exemption for them. Nor did he 
scruple to fill lucrative posts with relatives who 
were quite unfit for the public service, nor to 
appropriate the public revenues for improve- 
ments on his personal estâtes, for which purposee 
he had little difficulty in obtaining the sanction 
of the Volksraad. There is on record the case 
of the éditer of " Land en Volk *' successfully 
sustaining an alleged libel charging the Près. 
with fcaiâ against the State. He is also gener- 
ally believed to hâve brought away with him 
from the Transvetal the State 6md Trust funds, 
variously eetimated at from £250,000 to 
£700,000, of which no satisfactory account can 
be obtained. 

Mr. Kriiger has employed part of his exile in 
writing his '^Memoirs," for, which heissuppoeed 
to hâve received £30,000. They were diotated 
to fifr. A. Schowalter, the éditer of the '* Buren-

LABXJSCHAGNE, Caspeb Jebemiah, M.L.G., 
J.P., of Haasfontein, Cîolenso, Natal, was bom 
at Weenen Ck>unty, Natal, Dec. 8, 1854. He is 
the son of John Hendeiik Labuschagne, who 
fought for the British against Machana and 
the Basutos, on the occasion of their invc^on 
of Natal» and also against Langalibalele. Mr. 
C. J. Labuschagne*s grandfather was one of 
the voortrekkers who left Cape Colony for Natal 
in 1836, and, becoming an officer in the Boer 
Army, fought against Bingcian in 1837, and 
afterwards against the British in 1842 at Con- 
gella, Durban 

Mr. C. J. Labuschagne was appointed J.F. 
in 1892 and M.L.C. in Nov. 1898 He is 
a member of several Rifle Associations ; has 
won several prizes, and on one occc^on won 
a gold medsJ for the best aggregate score. 
He married, in 1877, Miss Hatting, the youngest 
dau. of J. M. Hatting, of Blauwkrans, Natal, 
on whose farm Lord Roberts* son is buried. 
Mr. Labuschagne lost his fîrst wife in 1902, 
and then married Mrs. Pieters, eldest dau. of

LAGDEN, Sm Godfrey Yeatman, K.C.M.G. 
(1897), C.M.G. (1894),M.L.C.,Memberof Execu- 
tive Council, and Conmiissioner for Native Affeûrs, 
Transvaal ; of Blandf ord, Park Town, Johannes- 
burg, and the Sports Club, London ; is the son 
of the late Rev. Richeurd Dowse Lagden, Bal- 
sham House, Camb., and Sherboume, Dorset. 
He was bom in 1851 and educated at Sher- 
boume Sch. A bare récital of his officiai 
appointments shows that he haa had a dis- 
tinguished pubUo career. He entered the Civil 
Service in the G.P.O., 1869-77 ; became Chief 
Clerk to the State Secy. of the Trsuisvaal under 
British Administration in 1878 ; Private Secy. 
tothe Administrator, Sir OwenLanyon, 1878-81 ; 



and Secy. to Executive Council ; we^ présent 
at the siège of Pretoria and afterwards became 
Private Secy. to Administrators Sir Evelyn 
Wood and Sir William Bellairs ; Secy. to Trana- 
vaal Sub-royal Conmiission on Compensation

as British Commissioner, Swaziland» 1892; 
Résident Conmiissioner, Basutoland, 1893- 
1901. It will thus be seen that Sir Godfrey 
Lagden has represented this country on varions 
missions, but it was as British Résident in 
Basutolctnd that he made his réputation. " To 
use the power and influence of the chief as a 
means of goveming and guiding the nation '* 
was the motto of his rule, and it is daimed that 
his success has shown how a black population 
may be moulded and gov^ned with its own 
consent. No greater evid^ice exists of Sir 
€k)dfrey's remcorkable faculties for indncing 
in the native mind an appréciation of pro- 
gressive measures them the resuit of the intro- 
duction of a Native Savings* Bank and re- 
mittance agency estabHshed in the Transvaal 
in Sept. 1902, of which the natives hâve taken 
f ull advantage from its initiation. He indulgee 
in most games and sports, and haa had oon- 
siderable expérience of big game shooting; 
waJked from the Cape Coast to Coomaasie 
through the Ashanti country in 1883, shooting 
and collecting spedmens. He married Franoes 
Rebeoca, dau. of the Rt. Rev. Henry Brong^iam 
Bousfîeld, Bishop of Pretoria.

F. W. Lambton, late of the Scots Guards, and 
of Lady V. Lambton, dau. of the 2nd Eazi 
Cawdor. Capt. Lambton was educated at 
Wellington Coll., and entered the Worcester 
Regt. in 1895, gaining his Captaincy in 1900. 
He served in the S.A. Weur 1900-02; was présent 
at the occupation of Johannesburg aiul Pïre- 
toria, and took part in the opérations whicdi 
resulted in the surrender of Prinsloo in tho 
Brandwater basin. He then continued figjht» 
ing in the O.R.C. and C.C. ; was présent 
at the action at Bothaville, and subséquent^

served under Gren. Sir C. Knox until April, 
1902 (despatches, D.S.O., Queen's medal with 
four olctsps, KiDg*s medal with two dasps). 
Capt. Lambton is unmetrried. 

LAWRENCE, James, M.L.A., J.P., of Kîm- 
berley, Muizenberg, and of the Kimberley

at Georgetown, C.C., in 1852. Educated at 
C.T. and Cradock, he has represented Kim- 
berley in the Cape Colony House of Assembly 
since 1894. He is a Progressive Member, ajid 
waa last re-elected in Feb. 1904. For fourteen 
yeeurs he has been Municipal Councillor, and 
M&yoT of Kimberley in 1889, 1892 and 1893. 
It will thus be seen that Mr. Lawrence has 
been prominently associated with the muni- 
cipal affairs of the great dicunond city. His 
other public positions indude that of Chaîrman 
of James Lawrence & Co., Ltd., Director of the 
Board of Executors, Kimberley, and Senior 
Whip to the Progressive Party in the Cape 
Parliament. He eSao served on the Peninsular 
Commission in 1902-3. His récréations in- 
dude riding and driving. Married, in 1880,

1904. He sits in the Progressive interest. 

LENFANT, Capt., the French explorer, 
retumed to Paris in April, 1904, after an adven- 
turous joumey from the West Coast of Africa, 
up the Niger, along the Benue (a tributary 
of the Niger), through the Suburi marsh country, 
thoQ,ce along the Shari river to Lake Chad, the 
retum joumey only occupying sixty-five dajrs 
as agaînst five months by the Congo route. 
Capt. Lenfant's white party consisted of ten. 
They were oonfronted with innumerable diffi- 
culties, hostile natives with poisoned arrows, 
and much sickness. He made many scientific 
observations, and discovered a monstrous 
silk-spinning spider, a spécimen of which he 
brought home. 

LEYDS, Dr. Willbm Johannes, LL.D., 
Knight of the Portuguese Order of Villa Vicoza, 
Commander of the Légion of Honour, Knt. 
of the Second Class, wibh Stcor, of the Prussian 
Red Eagle, and Commander of the Orders of 
Jesiis Christ, St. Charles, Orange-Nassau, and 
Leopold of Bdgiam ; of 25, Wilhelminapark, 
Utrecht» HoDaiid, and of the Club de la Haye, 



The Hague ; was born at Magelang, Java, 
May 1, 1859. He is second son of W. J. Le} 
who was youngest son of the Rev. Leyds, 
VeandcMtl, Holland, by Nine, second dau. 
the Rev. R. van Bessningen van Helsding 
Dr. Leyds came to Europe at the âge of e 
and received his éducation at Haarleni a 
Amsterdam. His original intention was 
become a teacher, and in 1874 he passed t 
final examination in the Govt. school for t 
préparation of tutors. Four years later 
qu£jified as a teacher of drawing ; took a Qoi 
diploma for gymnastics, and passed in matb 
matics in 1879. He graduated LL.B. in 188 
and after a further two years of study toc 
the Doctor's degree cum ktude at the Uni 
of Amsterdam. In 1884 Dr. Leyds went 1 
the Transvaal as the agent of the conoessionairi 
of the Netherlands Rcdlway, to advance the 
interests, at the same time tcddng office undc 
the S.A.R. as Attomey-Gen., a dual positio 
which, it was said, he could not occupy wit. 
justice to both the State and the Concessionairei 
He appears to hâve dropped the former office 
but was appointed Qovt. Commissioner witi 
the NetherlandB Railway Co. in 1887. He wai 
made a J.P. for the whole Republic in 1889 
and in the following year was deputed Qovt. 
Syndic with the National Bank of the S.A.R. 
Meanwhile Dr. Leyds had given ample évi- 
dence of his talent for diplomaoy, and m 1890 
he rdinquished the office of Attomey-Gen. for 
the State Secretaryship, to which he was re- 
eleoted in 1894, and again in 1898. The office 
carried a seat in the Executive Coundl, and 
was, after the Presidency, the most onerous 
and responsible in the service of the Republic. 
During ail thèse years he had been filling the 
public offices with lus own countrjrmen — a 
more or less necesscuy step, seeing that English- 
men were practically barred in important 
positions by the Kriiger régime^ and the Boers 
themselves were incompétent to adequatdy 
participate in the task of govemment. But 
this influx of HoUanders was not welcomed 
by Boer or Briton, and the State Secy.*s in- 
oreasing unpopularity, added to the anti-HoUan- 
der feeUng, made it expédiait for hhn to resign. 
Dr. Leycfô had already been sent on politioal 
missions to Lisbon and Berlin, his skill in 
diplomacy had been tried, cmd Mr. Kriiger 
appointed his able and useful Secy. Minister 
Plenipotentiary in Europe. Dr. Leyds had been 
for years the President*s right-hand man, and 
it is doubtful if his influence on affairs, so far 
as concemed the Uitlanders, was as malign 



102

as was ofttimeB stated. His position was 
a délicate one» and it is not surprising that he 
created feeliii^ of resentment amongst the 
Britifi^. 

Dr. Leyds is the author of " De rechtsgrond 
der schadevergoeding voor preventieve hectenis " 
(1884). He married, July 10, 1884, Louisa, 
second dau. of F. Roeff, Mathematician.

their Kimberley branch in 1889, in which year 
he was appointed J.P. for Komberley. He 
became Manager of the Kimberley branch of 
the Africeui Banking Corporation in 1892, and 
was promoted to the management of the Johan- 
nesburg branch in 1898, which position he 
still fîlls. He remained in that town during 
the war, and was appointed J.P. for the Wit- 
watersrand in 1903. He married, in 1890, 
Miss Harvey, of Aliwal North.

has been to popularize the Impérial idea. As 
early as 1876 he contributed leculing articles 
to the "Natal Mercury" advocating the 
annexation of the Transvaal. His works 
especially dealing with Impérial subjects begctn

services he rendered in Central Airica that he 
soon after was given the command of the Somali- 
land Field Force, which post he filled from Nov. 
1902 to July 1903. He had many diffîculties 
to contend with, owing chiefly to want of trans- 
port and water. In spite of a serious reverse his 
subordinate. Col. Plunkett, sustained, his ser- 
vices were retained after Gen. Egerton was ap- 
pointed to the suprême command. Since then 
he has been doing good work, and has greatly 
added to his alreàdy high réputation in oulitary 
cirdes. General Manning is immarried. 

MARAIS, EuGENB, was formerly éditer of the 
Dutch paper " Land en Volk,*' in which he con- 
sistently and patriotically raised his voice in 
support of a puie and enlightened Govt., 
and spared no one in the exposure of abuses, 
notably in the jyynaxxdte case, when he accused 
Mr. J. M. A. Woîmarans of accepting a bribe of 
le, per case (estimated at that time to amount to 
nearly £10,000 per an.) on dynamite as a con- 
sidération for nia support in the Executive 



Coimcil of which he was a member. This cl 
was not denied. Then there was the case o 
successfully sustaining his alleged libel that 
Kriiger had defrauded the State by chai 
heavy travelling expenses for a certain tri] 
which he was actually the guest of the ( 
ColonieJ Govt. Subsequently (in 1893-4) 
exposure of thefts of Govt. stores by Landd 
Kock, a satellite of the Elruger régime, at 
forced a private investigation, though the ( 
was not eJlowed to be brought before the coi 
of the country. At the time of the Raid, wl 
matters heul assumed their most threaten 
appearance, Mr. Marais and Mr. Mcdan hastex 
to Johannesburg fully authorized by the Exe 
tive to confer with the Reform Conunittee anc 
possible to avert a conflict. Thèse genUen

with a commission in Pretoria having for : 
object the removal of some of the chief grievanc 
of the Uitlanders.

wood Hall, Mansfield, was bom in 1867, and ha 
represented Meoisfield in the Libéral interee 
since 1900. He is chiefly notoriotis for hii 
antagonism to Rand capitalists, and for having 
in the course of a speech in the House of Gom- 
mons made charges against Messrs. Wemher, 
Beit & Co. of crinmial misconduct with référence 
to their ânancial opérations, and declaring that 
they were nothing more nor less than swindlers. 
Mr. Markham repeated thèse statements outside 
the privileged precincts of the House, whereupon 
Messrs. Wemher, Beit & Co. instituted libel pro- 
ceedings. Mr. Markham, however, unreservedly 
withdrew and apologized for the charges, whicJb 
he admitted were without foundation. He 
mcurried, in 1898, a dau. of Capt. Cunningham.

beginnings Mr. Marks established a big position 
in the Kimberley diamond fields, which, how- 
ever, he left in 1881 for the Transvaal Republic. 
From the first he was persona grata with Mr. 
Kriiger, and it was no doubt partly owing to 
his influence with the ex-President, added to 
his natural endowments, that he was enabled 
to assist in building up so rapidly the immense 
interests which the firm now has in S.A. 
Concessions for the exclusive manufa<ïture of 
spirituous liquors, préserves, etc., were S/Cquired, 
and kept up more as a hobby than as a source 
of profit ; coal properties were developed on a 
large scale, agriculture was encouraged, and 
of course mining interests in gold and diamonds, 
€Uid the possession of real estate swelled the list 
of the finn's main enterprises. Mr. Marks him- 
self is on the Boards of the Schuller Diamond 
Mines, Vereeniging Estâtes, Transvaal Consoli- 
dated Coal Mines, Great Eastern CoUieries, 
East Rand Mining Estâtes, Geduld Proprietary

MATHERS, Edward P., F.R.G.S., F.G.S., of 
6, Queen's Gâte Terrace, S.W., and of the 
Thatohed House, Royal Societies, Colonial, 
Caledonian, and Lnperial Colonies Clubs, is the 
second son of the late David Mathers, newspaper 
proprietor, of Edinburgh. He was bom at 
Edinbuivh on Aug. 19, 1850, and was educated 
at the High Sch., Edinburgh, and Edinburgh 
Institution. Mr. Mathem followed the pro- 



fession of an EngUsh joumalist until 18' 
when he migrated to S. A., where he commenc 
work on a paper in Durban, and at the sai 
time acted as représentative of a London dai 
paper and also of " The Scotsman." He w 
there at the time of the Zulu ceunpaign and r 
mained in S.A. for ten years. To him is largel 
due the pubUcity which has so greatly contr 
buted to the enormous development of the S.i 
Fields. It was in 1883 and 1884 that the nei« 
of the discoveries of gold in the De Kaap Distric 
roused enormous interest throughout S.A 
With a small party of explorers he found hi 
way through an unknown and unhealthy regioi 
to the new Gold Fields, proceeding by stectmei 
to Lourenço Marques, whence they plunged intc 
the interior and began their perilous joumey. 
The diffîculties of the task were vividly described 
in his letters to the " Natal Mercury," for which 
he was acting as SpecicJ Commissioner. Many 
of the party died upon the way, but Mr. Mathers 
retained his good health despite the trials of the 
joumey and the privations it was necessary to 
undergo. Arrived at the gold fields, Mr. Mathers 
pursued his busy career in connection with mining 
and financial joumalism, spreading the know- 
ledge of the early discoveries. His letters 
naturally attraxïted a large amount of attention, 
and were subsequently coUected and published 
under the title of a " Trip to Moodie's '^ in 1884. 
The rush to the Barberton District continued 
until 1887. Then, when the Rand began to claim 
attention, Mr. Mathers revisited De Kaap and 
the Rand and wrote a further séries of letters 
which hâve been published in an interesting 
volume entitled " Goldfields Revisited, 1887." 
In the f ollowing year he lef t for London. He had 
come to the conclusion that the Transvaal was 
going to be a great mining centre, and that as 
its capital for the development of the mines must 
come from England, it was necessary to bring 
London into doser touch with S.A. His chief 
intention was to organize a newspaper in London 
in the interests of S.A., and retuming to England 
he started the journal known as ^^ South Afrioa.*' 
He has been more than a joumcdist, however, 
he has travelled and explored a good deal in 
S.A., and has shown in a remarkable way th» 
possession of the fa>culty of foresight. His paper 
has been very successful ; he has written 
'' Golden South Africa " and " Zambesia " ; he 
founded the South African Dinner, which haa 
proved a useful and popular eumual function in 
London. Mr. Mathers is thoroughly imperiaUstic, 
and having a hearty distrust of Boer metbods, 
he foretold long before the war againot Krâger

the inevitableneBs of a final and deeperate con-

Anglo-African Who's Who 



Clubs, was bom at Street, near Glastonbury, 
Somerset, on March 15, 1841, bis father having 
being the Bishop of Grahaznstown. He was 
educated at Dive C!oll., Bondebosch, and at 
Radley ColL, Oxford. Mr. Merriman is a land 
surveyor by profession, but he has made politics 
the principal business of his life. He entered

tinuously from that date until the gênerai

Treasurer-Gen. — a portfolio which he subse- 
quently held in 1899-1900. 

Mr. Merriman is a good debater and an ex- 
ceedingly able man, but he is a mass of pré- 
judices, which hâve inclined him to every 
extrême — Bond-friend and Anti-Bond. No 
party, consequently, has felt that it could 
absolutely dépend upon, or trust, him politically. 
His natural etsperity of manner and innate 
disagreeableness are disadvajitages which he 
appears to cultivate for the express purpose 
of alienating support and making enemies. In 
fact, he h«« been described as an excellent type 
of a gentleman who has deliberately cast o& 
the manners of one. 

As an apologist for rébellion, he urged that 
Cape ColoniïJs who rebelled during the late 
S.A. War should receive full compensation for 
losses caused by the invasion of the Colony. Mr. 
Merriman is a member of the Council of the Univ.

ORPEN, Joseph Miixabd, F.R.C.I., o 
Sfidisbury, Rhodesia, and Avoca District, Barkii 
East, ce, is the son of the late Rev. Charle 
Edward Herbert Orpen, M.D., F.R.C.P. Lon 
don, F.R.C.S. Dublin, was bom in Dublin 
Nov. 5, 1828, and educated privately. 

Mr. Orpen is probably tbe oldest of the S. A 
Parliamentarians, and was until late in 1903 
Surveyor-Gen. of Rhodesia, having administered 
its Dept. of Lands and Agriculture since 1896. 
He was also a member of its Législative and 
Executive Councils. 

On Dec. 24, 1846, when just tumed seven- 
teen, he arrived with three of his brothers in 
Table Bay. Thence they went to their elder 
brother's farm, " Taaibosch-fontein," in the 
then Colesberg Dislaict, between Naauwpoort 
and De Aar. After a few months' study with 
his father, who arrived in the Colony with his 
wife and the rest of the family in «fan. 1848, 
Mr. Or|>en, in 1849, passed his theoretical and 
practical examinations for a Cape Grovt. Laod 
Surveyorship, and rec^ved that appointment 
as well as a Justiceship of the Peace early in 
1851. In the Kafir War of that year, he served 
as a Lient, of Volunteers. E^ly in 1852, he, 
with his eldest brother, F. H. S. Orpen, under- 
took to survey for the (îovt. of the then " Orange 
River Sovereignty " the Harrismith or Vaal 
River District of that Colony. In Aug. 1853, 
H.M. Ministers announced, through a Spécial 
Commissioner sent to Bloemfontein, their 
intention to abandon the territory immediately, 
calling upon its European inhabitants to elect 
delegates and constitute a Republican Govt. 
Mr. Orpen and his brother were elected dele- 
gates at Harrismith, and received instructions 
from their constituent» to protest against and 
resist abandonment. This Asnembly of Dele- 
gates, of which Mr. J. M. Orpen is the only 
surviving member, met on Sept. 5, 1853, and. 
after a short session, passed a unanimoos pro- 
test against abandonment, and elected a s tand- 
ing committee to represent them permanentiy 
in so doing. Of this committee Mr. Orpen 
his brother, who had each taken a prom 
part in the Assembly's proceeding».

eleoted membere. The committee supported a 
public deputation, whioh prooeeded to England 
to pétition Govt. against abskndonmeiit, but 
on Sept. 23, 1854, H.M. Speoial Ck)mmi8sioner 
formsdly abandoned the territory, removed the 
troops and Govt. officers, and handed over the 
administration to those who had, under his 
encouragement, organized a movement in favour 
of abandonment. In the Convention whioh 
thus created the O.F.S. Republio, it 
was, however, stipulated that an élective 
constituent and Législative Council should be 
oalled together within three months, and Mr. 
Orpen was at once re-elected by Harrismith 
to represent it in the first Volksrctad of the Free 
State. He then took a leading part in the 
£raming of the Constitution of that State, which 
lasted, with little modification, till the récent 
fall of the two Republics. After the proro- 
gation of that Volkrsaad (of which Mr. Orpen is, 
likewise, the sole survivor), he was appointed 
by the Près, to conduct negotiations and open 
up friendly relations with Moshesh, the aged 
ohief of Bosutoland, which had been received 
under the Queen's sovereignty and then aban- 
doned by H.M. Govt. After Mr. Orpen had 
successfidly opened thèse negotiations and 
relations, the Près, at the public request of the 
inhabitants of the District of Winburg, induced 
him to accept the position of Landdrost of 
that district. To it the District of Heirrismith 
was annexed by a resolution of the Volksraewi 
in its next session. Thus Mr. Orpen was given 
the fiscal and magisterial administration of 
two-thirds of the Freè State, which, being 
bounded by the Vaal River, then included a 
considérable territory afterwards comprised 
in the Transvaal RepubUc. His position in- 
cluded an ex-officio membership both of the 
Volksraad and of the Suprême Court of Justice 
and Appeal, which was called " The Court of 
Oombined Landdrosts," and consisted of three 
of those officiais. In this court Mr. Orpen at 
times presided, being then only twenty-four 
years of âge. Within a few months of his 
appointment (in Sept. 1864), Mr. Orpen had 
to deal with the first attempt on the part of 
the adhérents of Comdt.-Gren. Marthinus 
Pretorius, of the Transvaal, to overthrow the 
Govt. of the O.F.S. By diplomacy, however, 
Mr. Orpen was successful in frustrating this 
attempt, though it was renewed, in an armed 
invasion by Pretorius and Krûger, a few 
years later. Co-operating with the Pciramount 
Chiof of the Basutos, Mr. Orpen produced a 
satisfactory state of affaira on the whole 



Basuto border of his District, while he suooess- 
fully repreased attempts by burghero of the 
Free State to kidnap native children beyond 
and within its borders. In connection with this 
practice of kidnapping, Mr. Orpen was sent on 
a mission to the territories north of Natal, and 
so demonstrated the extensive nature of that 
practice, that législation against it was passed 
in the Cape Pe^licunent and the Free State 
Volksraad. In 1856, Mr. Orpen was deputed 
by the Près, to represent him in giving diieo- 
tiens on the spot to offîcers of a Free State 
Commando, sent to coerce the native ohief, 
Wietzie, and remove him from the Harrismith 
District, where he was occupjdng farms granted 
to whites during the British régime. During 
this commando, Mr. Orpen (with difficulty and 
by his own action alone) restored to their 
mothers a number of native children who had 
been seized by members of the commando. 
The first expeditionary force, having broken up 
without accomplishing its objeot, the Près. 
gave Mr. Orpen authority to raise coid take 
command of another commskndo, with whioh 
he carried the opérations to a successful oon- 
clusion. In the Presidential speech at the 
opening of the next session of the Raad, thèse 
services were brought to the notice of the 
Assembly, and at the conclusion of the session 
a vote of thanks for thèse and other service, 
waa accorded to him. He soon afterwards 
resigned and retired to the District of Aliwal 
North, in the C.C, where the Govemor, 
Sir George Grey, entrusted him with extensive 
surveys. Seeing that a war was imminent 
between the Free State and the Basutos over 
a question of disputed frontier, he used hia 
influence with the Paramount Chief, Moshesh, 
to induce him to propose to the Près, that ail 
questions at issue should be referred to the 
arbitration of the Govemor of the Cape. This 
proposai was not accepted, and the Près., after 
repulsing an invEtôion by Pretorius and Krûger, 
declared war upon Moshesh, but being unsuo- 
cessful, eventufidly proposed to Moshesh the very 
médiation which he had before declined, also 
begging Sir George Grey to prees it upon 
Moshesh. The latter at once accepted it, 
and, acting on Mr. Orpen's advice, oonmienoed 
a séries of pétitions to the British Gk)vt. to be 
again taken under its sovereignty. This, aStet 
some yeeuB and another we^, led to the ulti- 
mate sumexation of Basutoland to the British 
dominions, 

Mr. Orpen, in 1863, CKsquired landed property 
in the District of Aliwal North, upon whioh he

etill C£UTieB on fanning opérations on an exten- 
sive scale. In Feb. 1872, he was chosen (in a 
bye-eleotion) to represent the division of Queens- 
town in the Cape House of Assembly. Both be- 
fore and after lus élection, he strongly advocated 
the graduai and steady extension, with the con- 
sent of the native tribes, of British authority 
over the countries lying outside Colonial juris- 
diction between the Cape Colony and Natal, 
where native relations existed, entailing serions 
responsibilities, without practical means of 
fulfîUing them. Murder and intertribal blood- 
shed were rife, and gênerai misgovernment 
prevailed. Dnring the sessions of 1872 and 
1873, Mr. Orpen pressed his views in the Assem- 
bly, and moved for sélect conunittees to con- 
sider the state of the Colony' s native relations, 
and elicited much information through the 
reports of those oonmiittees. He voted 6igainst 
the introduction of Party Government, on the 
grounds that it would lead, with disastrous 
résulte, to native affairs becoming the football 
of party politics. 

After the dissolution of the Cape ParHament 
in 1873, Mr. Orpen was asked by the first 
Ministry of the C.C. to take office as British 
Résident in the territory between the Umtata 
and Natal, with the object of developing and 
extending the authority and jinrisdiction of 
Govt. there. That territory was in a state of 
war on his arrivai in it in Aug. 1873, but before 
Nov. of that year British authority had so fïir 
advanced that on the outbreak of the rébellion 
of Langalibalele, in Natal, Mr. Orpen was able 
to raise a native army €knd take part in the 
movements for suppressing the outbreak. 
His servie^ in this respect were honoiu-ably 
mentioned in 1874, both by the Natal and Cape 
Govts. in their reports to their respective 
Parliaments. Without extemal support Mr. 
Orpen succeeded in establishing authority, 
junsdiction, and just administration as far as 
the borders of Natal, and was able to punish 
some of the chiefs in those territories placed 
under his charge for murders committed under 
the pretext that the victims were guilty of 
witohcrait, and thus to a great extent suppressed 
that cruel System. Mr. Orpen's administration 
in the territories mentioned, lasted from Aug., 
1873, to June, 1876. The last territory an- 
nexed during that time was Griqualand Ecist, 
at that time govemed by Adam Kok. He and 
his people, the Griquas, had been permitted to 
occupy it (it being land ceded to Govt.) on the 
written stipulation that they should eventusklly 
be placed under the direct administration of 



the Govt. Adam Kok in Council now asked 
and caused the request to be recorded, that h 
should be either placed under direct administra 
tion or made whoUy independent. Govema 
Sir Henry Barkly thereupon, acting on th< 
advice of his ministers, proceeded to Kokstad 
declared the Govt. of Adam Kok at an end 
accorded him a retiring pension of £1,000 £ 
year, and placed the administration in the handf 
of Mr. Orpen. In 1875, after very honoiu*abl€ 
mention in the Govemmental report to Parlia- 
ment, Mr. Orpen resigned his office and returned 
to farming and the practice of his profession. 

It was while he was engaged in a large siu*vey 
for Govt. in the District of Hay, in Griqualand 
West, that a rébellion of the Griquas, Korannas 
and Kafirs of that territory broke out in 1878. 
Mr. Orpen was appointed at first Capt. of the 
Corps of Guides, then Chief of the Intelligence 
Dept. on the Staff, and afterwards Maj. in com- 
mand, as well as a C.C. and R.M. over the seat 
of the rebelUon. He held thèse offices for six 
months till the close of the rébellion and the 
Bechuanaland War. He was engaged in several 
battles and honourably mentioned in despatches 
by Lient. -Go vemor Sir W. O. Lanyon, and by 
Gen. Sir Charles Warren, on whose staffs he had 
served. 

In 1879, Mr. Orpen was re-elected member of 
the Cape House of Assembly for the Division of 
Aliwal North. He retained that seat till Aug. 
1881, when, after the impotent close of the cam- 
paign in Basutoland, Col. C. D. Griffith, C.M.G., 
who had, before the rébellion, been a most suo- 
cessful Governor's Agent and Chief Magistrate, 
retired, cts he did not consider the restoration of 
authority possible by him, under existing circum- 
stances. He advised that Mr. Orpen should suc- 
ceed him, as he believed that only under his 
administration was there any possibiHty of 
success. In the admittedly difficult task of 
administering Basutoland without extraneouB 
support, Mr. Orpen met with a considérable 
measiu*e of success. He collected a Icirge 
amount of Hut Tax, punished the Chiefs Jona- 
than and Joël, who h£kd fought against each 
other, and restored authority over a considérable 
portion of the population, but one of the Basuto 
chiefs, Masupha, being opposed to the establish- 
ment of Colonial authority, the Ministry gave 
up the attempt to enforce it, withdrew ail 
magisterial jurisdiction, and determined to 
appeal to the Impérial Govt. to undertake itself 
the govt. of Basutoland, and allow the repeal 
of the Act annexing it to the C.C. XJpon 
this, Mr. Orpen was retired, in March, 1883,

with expressions of high regcird, and shortiy 
afterwards Basutoland reverted to the direct 
rule of the Impérial Govt. 

Mr. Orpen then went to réside on his property 
in what is now the District of Barkly East. In 
1S89, he was again elected Senior Member for the

Pretoria gaol with a âne of £25,000, he refused. 
to give lus undertaking not to meddle in the

RICARDE-SEAVER, Major F. L, Knt. Com- 
mander of the Royal Military Order of Christ, 
Knight Commander of the Order of Isabella 
the Catholic, ËJiight Offîcer of the Impérial 
Order of the Rose ; member of the Athenseum 
Club ; was bom in 1836 at Hand Park, Rush, 
in the County of Dublin. He was early intended 
for the law, but his inclination being in the 
direction of Natural Science the idea of a légal 
career was abandoned, and he applied himself 
to the study of chemistry, electricity, geology, 
mining and engineering. At the ctge of twenty 
he proceeded with the late Prof. Forbes» 
F.R.S., to the Andes and adjacent territories 
in S. America, for the purpose of studying 
the geological conditions, and to ascertain, if 
possible, the probable minerai wealth of the 
country. At the conclusion of the mission he 
was appointed Govt. Assayer at Vàlparaiso, a 
position which he retained for severàl yeetfa. 
At the âge of twenty-six he «iccepted the position 
of Inspector-Gen. of Mines to the Argentine 
RepubUc. For twelve years he laboured to open 
up the country by means of railways and tele- 
graphs, with such success that in 1874, 1,600 
miles of rails were in regular traffîc, and 3,000 
more were in course of construction, while 
8,000 miles of telegraph wires were available 
for communication between the various parts of 
the Republic. He also initiated the laylng of 
the Trans-Atlantic Cable via Brazil to Europe. 
Thèse twelve years of his life were how- 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



ever not spent entirely in peaceful pursuits, 
for when war broke out with Paraguay he was 
created a Major in the Argentine Army, and 
served with distinction through that long and 
severe campaign. During this period he made 
several business visits to Europe for the purpose 
of conducting important negotiations more or 
less of a fînancial character on behalf of the 
Republic. In 1871 he raised in London a loan of 
£6,000,000 for the Argentine Govt., the whole 
of which sum wàs devoted to the construction 
of railways, telegraphs, and other public works. 
In 1874 he retumed to Europe in a Consular 
capacity. He then devoted Imnself to science 
and literature for some time, publishing, amongst 
other works, what is still a standard work of référ- 
ence, " The Minerai and other Resources of the 
Argentine Republic." He also €U3ted as Spécial 
Correspondent for various papers in S.A. 

Maj. Ricarde-Seaver is a strong Imperialist, 
and in the year 1888 he took up the subject 
of S. African development. The expansion 
of our Empire north and west of the Transvaal 
was due in 'some measure to his foresight and 
energy. He obtained a concession of 400 square 
miles from Khajna in Bechuanaland and suc- 
ceeded in obtaining the financial support of 
Lord Rothschild and other capitalists, who sub- 
scribed £50,000 to carry out explorations right 
up to the Zambesia and beyond. In conjunc- 
tion with Lord GifEord, V.C., and others he 
organized an expédition to proceed to Bulawayo 
and obtain from the King Lobengula the right 
to prospect and work gold and other mines in 
Matabeleland and Mashonaland. It was at this 
period that he was brought into contact with 
the great Imperialist, Cecil Rhodes, and on the 
suggestion of Lord Rothschild it was arranged 
that their efforts should be devoted to obtaining 
from H.M. Govt. the charter to administer 
that great territory known as Rhodesia. He is a 
Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Edin., of the Geo- 
graphical Soc. of London, of the Royal Greo- 
^aphical Soc, a member of the Royal Institu- 
tion of Great Britain, and an Associate of the 
Institute of Civil Engineers. Mr. Ricarde- 
Seaver married first, in 1863, an English wife, 
whom he lost in 1875, leaving an only son; 
secondly, he married H.S.H. the Princess Marie 
Lousie de Looz et Corswarem, née Princess 
Grodoy de Bassano of Spain. The Princess died 
in 1880, and in 1891 Mr. Ricarde-Seaver 
married the Mctrquise de la Laurencie-Charras, 
of Paris and Château de Charras.

SCHREINER, Olive {see Mrs. Cronwright- 
Schreiner). 

SCHREINER, Hon. W. P., K.C., C.M.G., 
was bom in the Wittebergen Native Reserve, 
now part of the Herschel District of the 
ce, in 1857. He is son of the late Rev. G. 
Schreiner, a German missionary of the L.M.S., 
and brother of the celebrated S.A. noveHst, 
Olive Schreiner, now Mrs. Cronwright-Schreiner 
(q.v.). ]VIr. Schreiner was educated at Cradock, 
Bedford and Grahamstown, and at the Univs. 
of Cape Town, Cambridge and London, 
where he distinguished himself in scholarly 
attainments. He took a Senior in Law Tripos 
and the Chancelier' s Légal Medal in 1881, cuid 
was called to the Bar of the Inner Temple in 
the following year, when he was also admitted 
an Advocate of the Suprême Court of the 
ce. In 1885 he was appointed Parlia- 
mentary Draughtsman ; became Légal Adviser 



to the High Commissioner in 1887, fiUing this 
appointment until 1893, when he joined the 
late Cecil Rhodes' second Ministry as Attomey- 
Gen., having in that year been elected as 
Member for Kimberley in the Cape House of 
Assembly. He resigned the Attorney-G«neral- 
ship later in 1893 ; was elected member for 
Barkly West by the aid of the Bond vote in 
1894, and again became Attorney-Gen. in 
Sept, of that year. His relations with Mr. 
Rhodes, which had been for many years of a 
cordial nature, were broken oiï by the Jameson 
Raid. He left the Cabinet, refusing to join 
the new Ministry imder Sir Gordon Sprigg. He 
became, however. Premier in 1898, retaining 
that position until June, 1900. In the gênerai 
élection in Feb. 1904, he failed to be re-elected 
to the House of Assembly. 

To the student of S. Africem politics it haâ 
not always been clear whether Mr. Schreiner's 
attitude was pro-Boer or pro-British. His 
tendency seems to waver between the two ex- 
trêmes. Without being an actual member of 
the Afrikander Bond, he has on occasions been 
a supporter of that organizatîon ; in fa<}t, he 
has in some quarters been suspected of an 
inclination to follow the extremists in their 
désire to constitute S.A. an independent 
Republic. However that may be, it may be 
said that during his Premiership he neither 
prevented nor prpmoted the S.A. War, though 
a strong'^man in his officiai position might pos- 
sibly hâve done either. He is said to hâve 
resisted British measures of coercion, and to 
hâve given no encouragement to anti-British 
aims. He neither stopped arms going into the 
Transvaal, nor permitted an early organized 
defence of Kimberley and the Cape Colonial 
frontier, nor did he, by a display of resolution, 
appear to aim at convincing Près. Kruger that 
the Colony would tolerate no disloyal actions 
on the part of British subjects in the event of 
his issuing an ultimatum. In short, his halting 
methods of conciHation in the pre-wctr period 
stood a very good chance of being misinter- 
preted by a large section of the British. Gène- 
rally, he is looked upon as a man of high attain- 
ments and chcuracter (somewhat hampered as 
a politician by a " cross-bench ** habit of mind), 
with a racial bias towards the Dutch propa- 
ganda, and an intellectual sympathy with 
British methods and charcKîteristios. Mr. 
Schreiner has been delegated at vcffious tîmes 
to conférences between S. African Govts. ; was 
a Member of the Jameson Raid Committee, 
and gave évidence before the B.S.A. Committee 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



of the House of Gommons in 1897. He is a 
man of the keenest intellect, of brilliant parts, 
a practised speaker, and a successful lawyer. 
He married a sister of Mr. Reitz, at one time 
Près, of the O.F.S. 

SCHREINER, Thbophilus, M.L.A., repre- 
sents Tembuland in the Cape Législative As- 
sembly. He has for many years been a pro- 
minent politician, and sits as a supporter of 
the Progressive party. He was last re-elected 
at the gênerai élection in 1904. 

SCHULLER, Welhelm Chmstian, of Johan- 
nesburg, S.A., and 25, Paulinen Strasse, Stutt- 
gart, Germany, and of the Royal Colonial 
Institute, was bom Jan. 18, 1842, at Stuttgart, 
and was educated in his native city and in 
London. In 1889 he went to S.A. and 
proceeded direct to Johannesburg. It is 
claimed that he and his son, Oscar H. Schuller, 
were the discoverers and pioneers of the now 
famous Pretoria Diamond Fields. In April 
1897, father and son took up and prospected 
the Farm Rietfontein 351 (District Pretoria). 
On Aug. 2 his son discovered the first diamond, 
and vigorous work resulted in a true diamond 
pipe or crater being opened up. A great deal 
of local incredulity was displayed, both Mr. 
Schuller and his son being designated swindlers, 
salters and rogues. Undaunted, however, they 
persevered, and proved that the mine was 
genuine. The gênerai impression seemed to 
be that it was impossible to find diamonds 
outside of Griqualand West and the O.F.S. 
Près. Kriiger also threw every obstacle 
possible in the way, but subsequently he modi- 
iSed his attitude, and helped the owners with 
législation, as he was afraid that the late Mr. 
Rhodes might step in. A company was âoated 
and named after the discoverers, " The Schuller 
Diamond Mines, Ltd., of which Mr. Schuller 
was a Director. He is also now a Director of 
Byeneestpoort Dicunond Mines, Ltd., the Rand 
Reefs G.M. Co., and other similar undertakings. 
Mr. Schuller has done much to promote gym- 
nastic exercises, and has given many prizes and 
trophies to the Wanderers' Gymnastic Soc. 

SCHUMACHER, Raymond William, of 
Pallinghurst, Johannesburg, second son of Mr. 
and Mrs. Erwin A. Schuma<}her, of Porchester

was educated at Eastboume under Mr. F. 
Schreiner, brother of the ex-Premier of the Cape, 
and at Harrow. He studied banking and 



fincmce in London, and for some years oi 
Continent before going to Johannesbui

firm of Eckstein soon after his arrivai, 
became a partner of that firm, together

one of the Reformers, he gave evidenc 
Pretoria at the trial of the Committee in 
1896, and was imprisoned for a few houn 
refusing to divulge his thoughts ! In 1 
before the war, he became Chcdrmem of 
Johannesburg Relief Committee. One of 
last to leave Johannesburg when war broke 
he quickly returned, and served with the R 
Rifles as Capt., taking an active interesi 
encouraging rifle shooting among the Bri 
population on the Rand, and in the Transi 
Volunteer movement. He is now Maj., . 
second in command to Sir Godfrey Lagden 
the T.R.I. He also takes an interest in n: 
forms of sport. He is chairman of a le 
number of leading gold mining cos., i 
director of several more, and a member of

G.C.M.G. (1902), P.C. (1897), of Wynberg, near 
C.T., was bom at Ipswich, Eng., in 1830 ; 
he started business in a shipbuilder's office» 
afterwards joined Gumey's shorthand staff» 
and in 1858 went to S.A. for the benefit 
of his health. He settled in the Division of 
Esist London (C.C), and entered the Cape 
Parliament as member for East London in 
1873. He was appointed Colonial Secy. and 
Premier on the dismissal of Sir J. C. Molteno 
in 1878, and resigned in 1881 on the Basuto 
question. Li 1884 he became Trea8.-Gen. 
in Sir Thomas Upington's Ministry, and suc-

ing year Mr. Sprigg, as he then was, was made

1898. In June 1900 he succeeded Mr. W. P. 
Schreiner as Premier, also combining the office 
of Treas. Li the gênerai élection in Feb. 
1904 Sir Gordon was defeated by Dr. Smartt 
at East London (C.C.) by a majority of 954» 
and the Progressives being in a majority in the 
new House of 50 against the Bond 45, he teii- 
dered his résignation of the Ptemiership, Dr. 
Jameson being called upon to form a new 
Ministry. 

Formerly the political chief of the P lr oyea - 
sives, he was throughout the diffîoult tunes 
following the Boer War accused of pandenng 
to the Bond party, whose tolérance ooly 
enabled him to maintaîn a majority, he being 
repudiated by five-sixtha of the Pr o g r o a Bi vea,

who seoeded on the Suspension question. It 
is certainly on record that Sir Goidon and his 
entire Ministry voted with the Bond on more 
than one occasion. This alliemce, however, 
was simply a makeshift, and although it suited 
the Bond party to keep Sir Gordon in power, 
it did not deter that orgauization from assist- 
ing in four Qovt. defeats on divisions during 
the last short session of 1902. He created much 
dissatisfaction amongst his earlier foUowers 
by his refusai to sanction a fresh regis- 
tration of voters in view of the fact that 
in many districts hundreds of disfranchised 
voters were still on the register as late as Sept. 
1902. On the occasion of his defeat (Nov. 
3, 1902) on the question of increasing the Cape 
Colonial Forces, however, Sir Gk>rdon Sprigg's 
appeal to the Bond caused their withdrawcJ 
of the amendnient and the passing of the vote 
as originsdly printed, and eUcited the Premières 
thanks to the Bond for its generosity. Since 
then Sir Gordon has been wavering in his 
allegiance between the Bond and the Pro- 
gressives, and has thus not been a source of 
strength to the Loyaliste in Cape Colony, 
although his dogged adhésion to office in the 
face of many real diffîculties may hâve saved 
them from still greater dangers. 

Sir Gordon is a practised and effective Pfiff- 
liamentary debater, and has cultivated a less 
aggressive manner than marked the parlia- 
mentary methods of his earlier political days. 
His range of ideas ccuinot be said to be broad, 
but his dévotion to the business of the Colony 
has £jways been most exemplary. 

He was created G.C.M.G. on the occasion 
of the King's Coronation ; he is D.C.L. of 
Oxford, and Hon. LL.D. of Edin. Univ. He 
is a widower, having married a dau. of Mr. J. 
Fleischer. Lady Sprigg died in 1900.

** During the retum of Major Gough's column 
to Danop on April 22, 1903, after the action at 
Daratoleh, the rear-guard got considerably in 
rear of the colunm, owing to the thick bush, 
and to having to hold their ground while 
wounded men were being placed on camels. 
At this time Captain Bruce was shot through 
the body from a distcmce of about twenty 
yards, and fell on the path unable to move. 
Captains Walker and Rolland, two men of the 
2nd Batt. King's African Rifles, one Sikh, 
8uid one Somali of the Camel Corps, were with 
him when he fell. In the meantime the column, 
being unaware of what had happened, were 
getting further away. Captain Rolland then 
ran back some 500 yards and retumed with 
assisteuice to bring oS Captain Bruce, while 
Captain Walker and the men remained with that 
offîcer, endeavouring to keep off the enemy, 
who were eJl round in the thick bush. This 
they succeeded in doing, though not before 
Capteôn Bruce was hit a second time, and the 
Sikh wounded. But for the gallant conduct 
displayed by thèse offîcers emd men, Captain 
Bruce must hâve feJlen into the hands of the

Bchemes with which Mr. Williams 



i64 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



is the construction of the railway from Lobito 
Bay, under the Benguella Concession, to open 
up the minorai areas and evontually probably 
oonnect with the Cape to Cairo railway System, 
and if he succeeds in satisfactorily financing 
this, the Une should absorb nine-tenths of the 
S. African passenger traffic to and from 
Europe. But in view of Mr. Williams' previous 
success in carrying out his projects it is not 
probable that this scheme will fail for want of 
support in the proper quarters. Mr. Robert 
Williams is a man of enormous enterprise, who 
has worked wonders \vith the aid of such small 
opportunities as hâve presented themselves, a 
small syndicate of his with a capital of but 
£5,000 having been greidually developed into 
the Zambesia Exploring Co., from which ulti- 
mately sprang the Tanganyika Concessions. 
A protégé of Cecil Rhodes, who strongly sup- 
ported his daring and ambitions schemes, he 
has aLso received great assistance from the King 
of the Belgians and the King of Portugal. He 
was further seconded by the well-known firm of 
Hilder & Paul. Given a sufficiency of ânancial 
support, we may yet see Mr. Robert Williams fig- 
uring as theCecil Rhodes of Northern Zambesia. 
He is personally very popular, and fond of shoot- 
ing and yachting, and was formerly the owner 
of the yacht Rosabelle He drives a double 
tonneau Panhard motor, and still plays a good 
game of cricket, and it will be remembered that 
he captained the team at Bal-na-coil which 
played and beat the S. African XI. in 1901. 
He married Margaret, dau. of Mr. Bayne, of 
Kimberley. 

WILLMORE, John Selden, M. A., of Zeitoun,

the then great Quaker Sch. at Newton-in-Bolland, 
Yorks., was born at Chester in 1844, and was 
educated at the Merchant Taylors' Sch., and

went to Alexandria, Egypt, and joined the fîrm 
of the Egyptian Commercial and Trading Co.» 
Ltd., and later, that of Messrs. Bobt. Corkling 
&. Co., Ltd., of Alexandria and Mansourah. At 
the latter place he was for some tîme Acting 
British Vice-Consul. 

In 1870 he started the weU-known firm of WiUs, 
Manche & Co., Stecimship Agents at Port Said cmd 
Suez, now called WiUs & Co., Ltd. His firm, be- 
sides representing many of the principeJ British 
and foreign steamship cos., was aiso coal con- 
tractors to the British Govt. for some seven con- 
sécutive years, and especially during the eventful 
time of the Arabi Pasha revolt. During this 
time they had to supply the coal to the immense 
fleet of hired transports on their way through thé 
Canal with the troops, etc., to Ismailia just prier 
to the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir, when the power of 
Arabi was broken once for ail. Later on they 
had to supply ail the coal to the fleet of hired 
transports taking out railway materi£d for the 
projected Suakim-Berber Railway for the relief 
of Gordon Pasha at Kliartoum,which however was 
abandoned, and the ships with their cargoes re- 
turned to England by order of the Gladstone 
Govt. 

The subject of our sketch was for about twelvo 
years Hon. Vice-Consul at Port Said to H.M. 
King Oscar of Sweden and Norway. One of the 
interesting events during his term of offîce was 
the retum of Prof. Nordenskjold's expédition to 
the Polar régions. Capt. Pallander, R.N. (Nor- 
wegian), the Conmaander of the Expédition, 
during a visit to the Vice-Consular Office gave a 
very graphie viva voce outline of the joumey in 
English, from the time the expédition left home 
until its arrivai at Port Said. This the subject 
of our sketch translated Verbatim into French as 
the narrative proceeded, and it was teJsien down 
on the spot by the représentative of the loccd 
French paper and duly appeared in extenso in 
the next day's issue. This was the first authentio 
account that appeared in the public press, and it 
made interesting reading.

brilliant career extending over half a œntury. 
He Mitered the Royal Navy in 1862, and was 
severely wounded while serving with the Naval

not an unfortunate décision which induced him 
to reeign the service in which, young as he was, 
his Personal gallantry had made him oonspicuous, 
and to enter the comy in which he has done suoh 
splendid work. After serving in a Light Dragoon

which he exercised between the Chajrtered Co. 
on the one part and the settlers on the other. 
The difficult questions of land tenure, native 
labour and other matters which were the subject 
of local agitation owed much to the attention 
which he gave to them, and to the care with 
which he endeavoured to reconcile conflicting 
différences of interest. In 1901-2 Sir Arthur

land on the mountcûn side at Muizenberg, in 
the £iffairs of which he always took a keen intor- 
est, whilst any movement having for its aim tho

advance of éducation invariably found in him 
a staunch supporter. 

GORDON, Frederick, was the well-known 
Chairman of the Gordon Hotels, Limited, and 
Director of other important Cos. Mr. 
Frederick Gordon* s death removed a notable 
man from commercial and financial circles, 
The enterprise with which his name is most 
natiirally identified is the huge combine known 
as the Gordon Hotels, of which he was Chairman. 
Closely allied, although the undertakings are 
distinct, is the Frederick Hotels, Ltd., from 
the equipment of which the fîrm of Maple & 
Co., Ltd., heis drawn so much business. Mr. 
Grordon, besides being a Director of Maple' s, 
was a great personal friend and financial asso- 
ciate of the late Sir John Blundell Maple, and 
together they represented the original monetary 
strength behind the group of West African 
mining Cos. of which the Ashanti Gold- 
fields Corporation is the chief. Holbom & 
Frascati, Ltd., of which Mr. Gordon was Chair- 
man, was a promotion of his, quite apart from 
his other hôtel interests. He was on the boeurd 
of such important industrial Cos. as Bovril, 
Ltd., A. & F. Pears, Ltd., and Apollinaris & 
Johannis, Ltd. Recently he became a Director 
of the big English steel combine of Guest, Keen 
& Nettlefolds, Ltd. 

GOUGH, Col. Bloomiteld, late of the 9th 
Lancers, who was killed in a carnage CMîcident 
in July, 1904, had a notable mihtary career. 
He fought in the Afghan War of 1878-80, 
taking part in Lord Robert»' famous march to 
Kandahar, and in the first part of the last 
S.A. Weur, in which the incident occurred 
which resulted in his retirement from the 
service. During Lord Methuen's advance, just 
before the action at Grctspan, he refused to go 
forward on the grounds that his men and horses 
were too exhausted for further duty. As a 
resuit of his protest he was recalled to England, 
was refused a court-martial, although his per- 
sonal courage was never disputed, and his re- 
tirement foUowed. 

HAMILTON, Francis Joseph Carroix, 
took up a commission in the Cape Colonial 
Forces in 1874. He served as a Capt. in the 
Gaika-Galeka War, and was the chief colonial 
Staff Offîcer sent to King Williamstown to meet 
Gen. Clark, at the commencement of the Basuto 
War, through which he served in command of a 
troop of Lonsdale's Horse, receiving a medal euid 



clasp. While in King WiUiamstown he 
largely instrumental in re-forming the 
vétérans into what are now the KafiEr 
Rifles. He died at Maritzburg in 1902, ai 
long and painful iUness, at the âge of 70. 

HARPER, Capt, E. Moore, served in 
Ashanti Expédition of 1873-74, and in the f 
Expédition. He also took pcurt in the Ba 
Zulu, and Boer campaigns. While empl 
in the Congo Free State from 1883 to ISSi 
received the Orders of the Congo Star an( 
Leopold. He entered the service of the I 
Company in 1886, organized the civil p( 
and axsted for a time as chief magistrate. 
consequently held several Consuleur positioi 
W. Africa, and died at Plymouth, Sept 
1902. 

HARRISON, Major Esmé Stuart Ersk 
D.S.O., son of the late Gen. Broe^ey Harr 
of Kynaston, Ross, Herefordshire, was boi 
Sept. 1864, and entered the Army as a L 
in the llth Hussars in 1885. He served ir 
last Boer War, being twice mentioned in 
patches by Sir Redvers Buller, and rece 
the D.S.O. for his services. He died sudd 
during a polo game at Cairo on Nov. 1, 190i 

KRÛGER, Stephanits Johannbs Pau 
ex-Pres. of the S.A. Republic, a summar 
whose career appears on pp. 96-100, had 1 
in bad health for severcd months, whec 
July 14, 1904, he expired at his villa at Cleu 
Switzorland, death being due to senile de 
hastened by an attack of pneumonia^ 
three months the ex-Pres. had been only ] 
alive by continuons massage. But at lasi 
felt the end coming. Five days before 
death, he took to his bed and Bible, and 
rounded by relatives and friends he bade t 
ail farewell, a Dutch pastor administe 
the sacrament. Two days later he breal 
his last. He had previously made a pit< 
but ineffectuai appeal to the British G 
to be allowed to end his days in the Trans'v 
But his désire to be buried in Pretoria by 
side of his wife met with a ready acquiesce 
from the Govt. It is curions that the Bri 
Minister through whom his last appeal 
made was Sir W. Conyngham Greene (q, 
who received from Mr. Kriiger, under 
différent circumstcmces, the ultimatum of 
Trcmsvacd Govt. before the great Boer V 

LAURENT, the well-known savant

botanist, died at sea on board the Albert- 
ville from malaria. When the news of the 
death became known the passengers were filled 
with consternation. Mr. Fuchs, the Vice- 
Govemor of the Congo, and M. Sparrow, the 
capt. of the Albertville, established the fact 
of the death and transacted the légal formalities. 

LISTER, Capt. Hon. T., D.S.O., late of the 
lOth Hussars, was the heir of Lord Ribblesdale, 
and entered the Army in 1879, and served in 
the S.A. War, taking part in the relief of Kim- 
berley and actions on the march to Bloemfon- 
tein, receiving the D.S.O., and the Queen's 
medal with six clasps. In 1903-4 Capt. Lister 
served under Gen. Egerton in the Somali Field 
Force as spécial service officer, and was killed 
at Jidballi in Jan., 1904, in his 26th yeax. 

LOVEJOY, Capt., who was one of the 
youngest captains in command of the Congo 
steamers, died from fever early last May. He 
was 28 years of âge, and his death was greatly 
regretted in the Belgian Colonial service. 

LUCAS, William Tyndall, who died at 
Albany, C.C., in 1902, aged 70, was the son of an 
Englishsettlerof 1820. At theageof seventeen 
the deceased gentleman fought with the 
Grahamstown Volunteers in the Kafîr War of 
1848, and in the campaign of 1856-58 he 
served as an officer in Sir Walter Currie's police, 
being severely wounded. He married a dau. 
of Gen. Bissett. 

O'RIORDAN, Capt. Daniel Patrick O'Con- 
NEiiii, of the Antrim ArtiUery, who was killed 
in 1904 in the opérations against the Aga- 
popo tribes at Lakoja, in Northern Nigeria, was 
in his 35th year, and was the eldest son of 
Daniel O'ConneU O'Riordan, an eminent Q.C. 
of the Irish Bar. The deceased officer was a 
Gold Medallist of Trinity Coll., Dublin, and 
had served for five years in Southern Nigeria 
under Sir Ralph Moore beforo being transferred 
in Oct. 1903, to perform fduties under Sir 
Frederick Lugard which hâve brought such a 
tragic close to a promising career. 

PAULING, Habold, Assoc. M. Inst, CE., 
late of Rondebosch, C.C, died last June 
from peritonitis. The deceased gentleman 
was a son of Mr. Henry Pauling, late chief 
engineer of the Cape Govt. Railways, and a 
cousin of Mr. Geo. Pauling, of Victoria Street, S. W. 
He was bom at the Cape some thirty-nine yeeurs 



ago ; conmienced his professional career as a 
Govt. civil engineer, and then devoted his 
abilities to railway construction and contract- 
ing. He weis practically the principal of Pauling 
& Co. in S.A., and under his direction some 
2,000 miles of railway hâve been constructed 
in Cape Colony and Rhodesia. Mr. Pauling 
W81S to hâve left Cape Town for the north for 
the purpose of formally handing over the 
Une to the Rhodesian Railway Co. Few 
men had more friends, or hâve been more 
generally respected. 

PEACH, Major Edmund (Indian Staff 
Corps) ; served with the Burmese Expédition 
from 1885 to 1887, and weis wounded in the 
course of the opérations. In 1897-8 he took 
part in the Tirah Expédition. He was selected 
for spécial service with the Rhodesicm Field 
Force in Meurch, 1900, and took part in the 
opérations in Rhodesia in May, and in the 
Western Transvaal from July to Nov., including 
the actions at Eland's River in Aug. He also 
served in the O.R.C.,and the northem partof 
Cape Colony. He was mentioned in despatches 
and obtained brevet of Major dated Nov. 29, 1900, 
receiving the medal with three clasps. In Feb.» 
1902, he resumed the position of Deputy-Asst. 
Quartermaster-Grcn. at the Headquarters of the 
Army in India. Maj. Peach was a quaJified 
interpréter in Russian, and was also acquainted 
with French, Hindustani, and Persian. He 
wrote the history of the Burmah War for the 
" Encyclopaedia Britannica," and published a 
workon** Tactics: Savage Warfare." He died 
in London, Dec. 17, 1902, at the âge of 37. 

PRINSLOO, Gen., was a native of the 
O.F.S., and his name will live in S.A. history 
as the only Boer General besides Cronje who 
surrendered with a large force to the British. 
With Comdt. Olivier he had about 6,500 mounted 
men and eight guns, and in July 1901 waa 
in the neighbourhood of BethlehenL Gen. 
Hunter had charge of the opérations agcùnst 
this force, and with the aid of columns under 
Grens. Rundle, Cléments, Paget, MacDonald, 
and Bruce Hamilton, he nursed the Boers 
to the south of Bethlehem, and eventuaHy 
rounded them up in the Brandwater Basin, 
where Gen. Prinsloo surrendered on July 30 
unconditionally, but Olivier declined to be 
bound by the action of his superior, and broke 
away with 1,500 men and five guns. Thare 
had been considérable friction in the Boer 
camp, and in Gen. De Wet's book, " Three 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



Years' War," a strong atta^k is made upon 
Prinsloo, whose right to coininand the force was 
<lisputed» because of irregularities in his élection 
in the field, and whose surrender was attributed 
to treaohery. Gen. Prinsloo was the most 
important of the " hands-uppers.*' and his 
«onduct in making the surrender — ^though 
the circumstanoes were, in a military sensé, such 
as afforded him no reasonable alternative — 
drew down upon him the detestation of the 
•extrême section of his countrymen. 

RHODES, RiOHT HoN. Ceoil John, P.C., 
late of Qroot Schuur, neeur Capt Town, came 
from a stock which records some two hundred 
years old state to hâve belonged to the yeoman 
class. The flrst of Mr. Rhodes' ancestors who 
•can be traced with any oertainty was a man 
of some substance flourishing at the beginning 
of the eighteenth century. He acquired an 
estate in Bloomsbury, where he had considér- 
able flocks. By the time the late Cecil Rhodes' 
grandfather appeared on the scène the family 
had already attained to a prosperous position. 
Samuel Rhodes, great-grandf ather of the great 
Englishman whose death has left so serions 
a void, founded two county fcunilies in the 
persons of his sons Thomas and William. 
William Rhodes was succeeded in his estate by 
his son, the Rev. Francis William Rhodes, 
Vicar of Bishop's Stortford, Herts, and Cecil 
John Rhodes weis bom at the Vicarage on 
July 6, 1853, within a couple of years of the 
time when the Treuisvaal State was accorded 
its full independence under the Sand River 
Convention, cmd a few months after the British 
Govt. decided to abandon the sovereignty of 
the O.F.S. For eight years he attended the 
Bishop's Stortford Grammar School, pursuing 
his studies with that diligence and dogged déter- 
mination which was one of his most striking 
characteristics, and, in spite of some physical 
weakness, taking part in fîeld sports. He left 
school at theendof 1869, and shortly afterwards 
developed a serions lung affection, which was 
responsible for Mr. Rhodes taking a longseatrip 
to S.A. On Sept. 1, 1870, three years after the 
discoveryof the first diamond, which led to the 
opening up of the Diamond Fields, in the subsé- 
quent exploitation of which he waa destined to 
play such an important part, he landed at Durban, 
Natal, and joined his eldest brother Herbert, 
who was a cotton-planter in the southem part 
of the Colony. Here,thank8 to the favourable 
elimatic influences, before many months had 
passed he was restored to health and vigour. 



Having tired of the proscdc life of cotte 
planting, the elder brother in 1871 went 
the Diamond Fields, where he engaged 
the more exciting occupation of diamon 
digging, and a few months later Cecil Rhod 
joumeyed to Kimberley for the purposeof see 
ing his fortune in the same industry. Tl 
brothers worked a claim between them for 
time, when, in 1874, Herbert left the Diamon 
Fields on a himiting and exploring expeditio 
in the interior, in the course of which he m( 
with an untimely and terrible death, near th 
Shiré River, through the buming of his hv 
during the night. 

Between the years 1873 and 1881 Mr. Rhode 
was very successful on the diamond diggingE 
and it weis during that period that he laid th< 
foimidation of the great wealth he subsequentb 
acquired and so liberally spent for the purpost 
of promoting and carrjdng out those schemei 
of Impérial expansion which hâve made hit 
name a household word even to the most 
distant parts of the Empire. But Mr. Rhodeg 
was more than a diamond digger. With one 
eye on his work and the other on his books he 
managed to complète that éducation which had 
been begun at Bishop's Stortford, and from 
1873 to 1881 he put in a portion of each year 
at Oriel Coll., Oxon, where he graduated B.A. 
and M. A., and where he became acqucûnted 
with Mr. Rochfort Maguire, who subsequently 
became associated with his political and com- 
mercial enterprises. At the same time he 
stored up that intimate knowledge of Colonial 
politics and questions aifecting British interests 
in S.A., which in later years proved to be of 
such immense practical value to him. 

When he first be^an to take £Ui interest in 
S.A. polities Mr. Rhodes recognized the im- 
portcmce of British expansion northwards, and 
of the eventual fédération of the vanoua 
Colonies and States in S.A., and he determined 
to dévote his powers euid his énergies to the 
attainment of those objects. Influences were 
at work, the aim of which was practically to 
confine Great Britain in S.A. to Cape Colony 
and Natal ; and it was in the hope of being 
able to circumvent the enemies of his country, 
and to secure the lion' s share of Africa for the 
British^ that Mr. Rhodes resolved to attain such 
a position as would enable him to carry ont his 
aims. For this not only peurliamentary power 
was necessary but, what was even znore 
important, great wealth. Fortune, in the early 
days in Kimberley, had smiled somewha 
liberally upon him, and he was making money 



i86 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



and building up a réputation as a young man 
possessed of more than ordinary foresight and 
ability, when, in the latter part of 1880, he 
was elected to represent the district of Barkly 
West in the House of Assembly. He con- 
tinued to represent Beurkly West to the day 
of his death, the large majority of the electors, 
in spite of strenuous opposition and misrepre- 
sentation at élection times, loyally supporting 
their distinguished member, in whom they 
took more than an ordinfiury interest, After 
the death of his brother in 1877 Mr. Rhodes 
entered into partnership with Mr. C, D. Rudd 
(q.v.), who, like himself, had gone out to S.A. 
in search of health as well as fortune. In 
addition to working haj>d in their diamond claims 
and oajrrying on their business as diamond 
merchants, the partners engaged in a variety 
of schemes, nothing coming amiss whieh pro- 
mised a profit. About the same time Mr. 
Rhodes formed that friendship with Dr. Jame- 
son which was destined to hâve such remeurkable 
conséquences. In those earlier years of schem- 
ing and money getting Mr. Rhodes never lost 
sight of the idea of northem expansion, and 
his friends knew how intensely he longed to 
see the British flag carried forward to the 
Zambesi. His principal confidant in politics 
seems to hâve been Dr. Jajneson (q.v.), and 
while thèse two were discussing this question 
of British Expansion in Africa, the late Mr. 
Krûger was dreaming dreams of an equally 
ambitions nature. There were thus two pro- 
minent expansionists in S.A. in those early 
days — the one aiming at securing the hinterland 
for Great Britain, and the other seeking to 
extend the Boer flag as far as the Zambesi. 
Very early in his political career, therefore, 
Mr. Rhodes realized that he was confronted 
with considérable difïiculties, as the Cape 
Dutch strongly sympathized with the aspirations 
of the Boers of the north, and he recognized 
that extrême caution was necessary, and that 
particularly he would hâve to show the Cape 
Dutch that their self-interest was being served 
by supporting his efforts at expansion. 

Mr. Rhodes took his seat in the Cape Législa- 
tive Assembly in 1881, and he was soon re- 
cognized as a man of extraordinary promise 
who was destined to attain a high place amongst 
S.A. poUticians. His maiden speech was against 
the proposai to disarm the Basutos, and it 
was while serving as a member of a commission 
to compensate the natives of that country 
who had not taken up arms against the Cape 
of Good Hope that Mr. Rhodes formed that 



friendship with Gen. Gordon which endored 
until the latter' s death. One of the fiist im- 
portant occasions in which Mr. Rhodes pitted 
himself against the ex-Pres. of the S.A.R. was 
in connection with the Stellaland Commission 
of which he (Mr. Rhodes) was a member. A 
number of Transvaal adventurers had set up 
some small republics in parts of Bechuanaland» 
more or less with the connivance of Mr. Eruger, 
with the intention of barring British progress 
northwards, and expcmding the border of 
the Transvaal in a westerly direction. This 
was the interprétation which Mr. Rhodes 
placed upon the présence of the freebooting 
Boers in Stellaland, and Goshen, and subséquent 
events showed that he was right. After muoh 
negotiation, the freebooters were cleared out 
by a bloodless expédition under Sir Chco'les 
Warren, and the first step in the direction of 
northem expansion was gained. This helped 
to bring the question of a Protectorate .over 
Bechuanaland to an acute stage, Mr. Rhodes 
being assisted in this by precipitate action on 
the part of Germany. The ambition of that 
Power to obtain a foothold in S.A. — an ambi- 
tion foreshadowing a possible German-Boer 
alUance — stirred the Colonial Offîce into activity. 
The Protectorate was authorized at the time 
when the London Convention of 1884 had 
been granted to the Transvaal, and mainly at 
the instance of Mr. Rhodes ; but it was almost 
too late. Mr. Krûger boldly annexed Montsoia's 
country. The Impérial Government, however, 
refused to recognize this ax3tion, the boundariea 
of the Republic having been fixed by- the new^ 
Convention, and demanded the withdrawal 
of the proclamation. To strengthen the demand 
Sir Charles Warren' s troops were moved north- 
wards, and Mr. Kriiger was immediately brought 
to his bearings. He came to Fourteen Streams 
to discuss matt«rs with Sir Charles Warren and 
Mr. Rhodes. 

Mr. Rhodes' share in clearing the Boers out 
of Bechuanaland directed attention to his 
expansion scheme, and the ideas which in- 
fluenced his conduct in this aSaâi were set forth 
in one of his speeches at the time. He said : 
'' Do you think that if the Transvaal had 
Bechuanaland it would be allowed to keep it ? 
Would not Bismeurck hâve some quarrel with the 
Transvaal, and without resources (ânanoial 
collapse in Pretoria was then imminent)» 
without men, what could they do ? Germany 
would come across from her settlement at Anatek 
PequefLa. There would be some excuse to pick 
a quarrel — some question of brandy, or gons. 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



or something — and then Germany would stretch 
from Angra Pequeûa to Delagoa Bay. 1 
was never more satisfied with my own views 
than when I saw the récent development of 
the polioy of Germany, What was the beur 
in Germany* s way ? Bechuanaland. What 
was the use to her of a fewsandheaps at Angra 
Pequeûa ? And what was the use of the arid 
déserts between Angra Pequeûa and the interior 
with this English and Colonial bar between 
her and the Transvckal î If we were to stop 
at Griqualand West, the ambitious objects 
of Germany would be attained/' Bechuanaleuid 
was, in tact, the key to the question of British 
suprenmoy in S.A., and, Mr. Kriiger having been 
defeated in his endeavours to extend the borders 
of his RepubUc, and Germany* s ambition for 
empire in Africa having been curtailed, the road 
was opened for the northem expansion, which 
had for years been Mr. Rhodes' high idéal. 
In pursuing his policy he did not lose sight 
of the faxst that he could only be successful 
by having the eo-operation of the Dutoh in 
Cape Colony, and by cultivating good political 
relations with the Transvacd ; but although 
the Bond was ail powerful, he resolutely re- 
fused to work in subservience to it. He never 
for a moment tumed aside from his plan of 
extending the Empire to the north, and of 
establishing a United South Africa imder the 
British flag ; but this could only be done by 
welding the two whito races together, by sink- 
ing ail différences, so that the native question 
might be dealt with independently of the friction 
between Dutch and British, and on uniform 
principles throughout the States of S.A. The 
part Mr. Rhodes played in checkmating Kruger's 
designs in Bechuanaland was his first con- 
spicuous service to the Empire ; it was the 
first of a long séries of splendid successes in a 
direction which continued without intermission 
down to that date at the end of 1895, when his 
direct power for usofulness was checked by 
the fact that he associated himself with the 
movement for the reUef of the Uitlanders which 
resulted in fcûlure. 

Mr. Rhodes first attedned Cabinet rank on 
Meurch 20, 1884, when he joined Sir Thomas 
Scanlan's Ministry as Treasurer of the Cape 
Colony. This Cabinet, however only lasted 
until May 12 of the same year. On July 17, 
1890, he became Premier and Commissioner of 
Crown Lcuids and Public Works. He relin- 
quished that portfolio on Sept. 23, 1890, but 
retained the premiership until May 3, 1893, 
when he formed his second Ministry without 



portfolio. Tliis lasted until Jan. 12, 1896, wh 
the raid made his résignation necessary. 

The success which attended Mr. Rhodx 
efforts to bar the cunbition of Mr. Kriig 
to draw a cordon aoross the British advance 
the northwards spiirred him to continue : 
the path he had marked out for himself, ac 
strengthened his résolve to keep open the ros 
for the Empire. It was not only the Dutc 
he had to fear ; Germemy had shown tha 
given a favourable opportunity, she woul 
s woop down upon Mashonaland and Matabelelanc 
At that time the minerai resources of thés 
countries were not suspected. The désir 
of the ultra-Colonial party at Berlin to posses 
themselves of this territory was largely due U 
those ulterior motives Mr. Rhodes so clearli 
foreshadowed in the speech already quoted 
Ail the time he was bending his énergies U 
acquire money he was thinking of the main 
purposes for which he desired it, and maturing 
his schemes for bringing those purposes to 
maturity. It would occupy too much space to 
attempt to give hère the history of ekll the 
movements which led up to the occupation of 
Lobengula's territory. Suffice it to say he 
succeeded in checkmating the designs both 
of Mr. Kriiger and his satellites and of the 
powerful Berlin Syndicate, secretly bsusked 
by a great firm of German bankers. He de- 
cided upon applying British red to that portion 
of the S.A. map lying between the Lunpopo 
on the south, Lake Tangcmyika on the north, 
and the Portuguese possessions on the east and 
west. 

Meantime, however, a simileur idea had oo- 
curred to Mr. George Cawston (q.v.). A few 
months later, Mr. Rhodes induced Mr. C. D. 
Rudd (q.v.) to make a joumey to Bulawayo, 
with the object of obteûning a concession over 
those régions ruled by Lobengula. In this he 
was successful, and obtained from the Matabele 
chief a concession embracing the whole of 
Matabeleland and Mashonaland. Subséquent 
treaties with other native chieftains, and 
absorption of other concessions, increetsed this 
area to about 750,000 square miles. The 
romantic story of the occupation of Mashona- 
land by Major Johnson* s Pioneer Force, guided 
by Mr. Selous (q.v.), is too familiar to need 
répétition hère. The terrible privations en- 
dured by the settlers in the new country hâve 
been referred to in the lives of Dr. Jameson 
(q.v.) and Major Frank Johnson (q.v.). But 
the '* African Review *' has recordeid how, in 
the face of much discouragement and great 



i88 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



diffîculties, the gold districts were opened up, 
townships were built, agriculture was initiated, 
and law and order established in a land which 
had been made hideous during the preceding 
half century by scènes of Matabele rapine and 
bloodshed. In the settlement of Rhodesia, 
Mr. Rhodes carried the Cape Dutch with him, 
at ail events in a large measure. He had pre- 
viously conciliated them. He had shown him- 
self in the Cape Parliament extremely mindful 
of the interests of the Dutch f^irmers. It took 
him a considérable time to bring the Dutch to 
his side, but he succeeded in the end. 

Having gained the concession from Loben- 
gula, the next step — procuring a charter from 
the Impérial Govt. — was fraught with 
considérable diffîculties ; but twenty months 
after the original concession was granted, the 
charter of the British S.A. Co. came into exist- 
ence. Then foUowed a period of active 
pioneering ; the settlers, when the pioneer force 
was disbanded, spread themselves ail over the 
land. However, the greater diffîculties were 
still to corne. The Matabele War of 1893 was 
a small matter compared with the rébellion of 
1896. But the way in which Mr. Rhodes 
grasped the fact that the game of war was not 
worth the candie, and, recognising this, the 
readiness with which he completely changed 
his plan from fighting to " deaUng '* are tellmg 
©xamples of his resourcefulness and judgment. 
The plucky way in which he went unarmed into 
the Matoppo Hills to treat with the indunas will 
ever be a subject of admiration to the Anglo- 
Saxon race. Mr. Rhodes' next move was the 
acquisition of Barotseland, which was another 
step in the direction of henuning in the Trans- 
vaal with British territory, and keeping open 
tho northem route for the great Cape to Cairo 
Railway, which, it was his aim, should run 
through ail British country. The Airikander 
Bond tried to make a condition of their sup- 
port the stipulation that any further extension 
northwards should be by the way of the railway 
from the Cape through the Boer Republics. 
But it was not in Rhodes' scheme of things to 
give thèse RepubUcs the oontrol of the interior 
trade. Presently he got the Une extended as 
far as Mafeking. The Bechuanaland Railway 
Co. was formed, and, notwithstanding ail the 
obstacles presented by the Matabele Rébellion 
and the rinderpest, Bulawayo was reached in 
due season. Concurrently télégraphie com- 
munication was pushed on, going in front as 
the harbinger of the r€iilway. Ail manner of 
evil prédictions were adventured, but none of 



thèse prophecies hâve been fulfilled. In con- 
structing the telegraph Une Mr. Rhodes' chief 
concem was to make it the advance guard of 
the railway, that great linkiag agency between 
man and man of modem civilization ; but he 
also had an eye tothe fact that as a commercial 
enterprise it would prove an extremely re- 
munerative affair. In the prosecution of this 
work, Sir Charles Metcalfe rendered Mr. Rhodes 
effective service. It may be said hère paren- 
theticaUy that Mr. Rhodes had to the full that 
pecuUar instinct which enabled him to choose 
his friends and co-workers with unerring judg- 
ment, and that his magnificent successes axe 
as much due to this faculty as to any other 
cause. He was not destined to see the accom- 
plishment of this great scheme, the Cape to 
Cairo Railway ; but he Uved long enough to be 
assured that he left it in hands which might be 
oounted upon to bring it to a successful issue. 
The greatest diffîculty Mr. Rhodes had to con- 
tend with in the prosecution of this great design 
confronted him when he found that in the 
varions international arrangements made with 
Belgium and Germany the British Govt. 
failed to make provision — at whatever cost, it 
should hâve been made — for the rétention or 
acquisition by Great Britain of a strip of terri- 
tory, however slender, which would conneot 
her possessions iu Central Africa with the 
territory under her protection in North A£rica. 
In order to get over this obstacle, Mr. Rhodes 
came to an arrangement with the authorities 
of the Congo Free State ; but, to make assur- 
ance doubly sure, he sought and was accorded 
an interview with the Kaiser, and so impressed 
the Grerman Emperor with the soundness of 
his case that, while guaitling to the full ail 
German interests and rights, he gave Mr. 
Rhodes permission to carry his line through 
German territory. 

There are innumerable aspects of the varied 
and complex personaUty of the subject of this 
memoir which it is impossible to deal with at 
length. It would, in fact, be interesting to 
foUow Mr. Rhodes' ceureor as a Cape Colonial, 
ÎQ contradistinction to an Impérial, poUtieian; 
but obviously the only part of his ceureer which 
has any particular gênerai interest ontaide 
narrow limits, seeiag that such détails are quite 
uninteresting as conceming the giants of the 
ImperifiJ ParUament, is that part of it whioh 
has to do with those great Impérial problems 
which temporarily were localized m Cape 
Colony. It may be noted, however, that lus

Bplitting his opponents into groupa when he 
could not convert them to his views. By hook 
or by crook he elîminated his political enemies. 
Indeed, he achieved some success, employing 
similar tactics, in regard to the statesmen and 
poUticians of the Old Country. Eminently 
practical in ail that he did, he bent himself to 
the task of conoiUating the Dutch, and 
endeavouring to bring them to a sound ap- 
préciation of their own interests. Witness the 
Scab Act, which afterwards, vitiated by per- 
missive clauses, has failed to exercise the 
beneficent influence it would hâve exercised 
but for those later amendments. The pro- 
visions of the Scab Act in its purity would hâve 
saved the Dutch and English farmers — and as 
the farmers are mostly Dutch, this was a 
measure especially conceming the Afrikanders 
— from the cruel loss which the prevalence of 
disease among the sheep of the country inflicted 
upon them. Then, as regards the natives, Mr. 
Khodes approached them with sympathy shom 
of sentimentaUty. The Glen Grey Act, a 
masterpiece of constructive statesmanship, 
though primarily designed — that is to say, on 
the face of it — in the interests of the white 
settlers, and especiedly the employers of labour, 
W81S really a measure pregnant with happy 
auguries for the natives themselves. If the 
natives continue to increase and multiply in 
idleness in their kraals, discontent must in- 
evitably resuit, and discontent must breed the 
poison of sédition and rebeUion. In the rup- 
ture between whites euid blacks which would 
inevitably follow, the blacks would be the 
greater and the flnal sufferers. The Glen 
Grey Act, and indeed ail Mr. Rhodes* législative 
and philanthropie actions in regard to the 
natives, were based on sound common sensé, 
infused with sympathy and sustained by know- 
ledge. Like ail Mr. Rhodes* public and private 
a/Cts, his attitude toward the native question 
was tinctured with imagination. Mr. Rhodes 
in this, as in ail things, looked not merely to 
the requirements of the immédiate moment ; 
he was never content to patch up a convenient 
modtia Vivendi which left out of account the 
future. On the contrary, he discounted that 
future, and his policy was eJways conceived 
and carried out with a view to its ultimate 
eSect. 

As we understand political parties in Eng- 
land, Mr. Rhodes was a Libéral. He believâ 
in the policy of according the varions com- 
ponent sections of the British race the fullest 
measure of local self-govemment possible, so 



long as this liberty did not in any way impi 
upon the Impérial unity he desired so fervei 
to further, and did so muoh to conserve, 
had, of course, an ulterior political motivt 
giving those muoh-debated chèques to 
Pamell and Mr. Schnadhorst. But he 
primarily infiuenced by his prepossession 
favour of the idea of local decentralization ] 
Impérial centralization. In this, as in om 
two other matters, Mr. Rhodes allowed 
proleptic quality he possessed of projeci 
himself into the future to carry him a\( 
Home Rule for Ireland la conjunction wit! 
gênerai scheme for the readjustment of 
local and Impérial govemment of the Em] 
is an exceedmgly sound proposition. As 
ta<;hed therefrom it is a political impossibil 
This Mr. Rhodes would hâve been the firs 
allow. Unfortunately, he permitted his s 
guine spirit to make him for the moment 
** previous.'* 

It will always be a diffîcult matter to une 
stand Mr. Rhodes* true connexion with 
Reform Movement in the Transvaal.

eubjects. So strong was this feeling on the 
question of the flag that spécial emissaries 
were sent to Cape Town to obtcûn assurances 
from Mr. Rhodes on the point. Thèse assiir- 
ances were given, and Mr. Rhodes telegraphed 
to Dr. Jameson to restrcûn him from taking 
that independent action which his impatience 
had threatened («ce Dr. JameaorCa Life). But 
little is to be gcûned now by dwelling at length 
on that unhappy business. The provocation 
must not be forgotten. To a maii of Mr. 
Rhodes' tempérament and power of looking 
into the future it was well-nigh impossible to 
eit down quietly, while successive Impérial 
Govemments and Cape Ministers paltered with 
the situation in S.A. Mr. Kriiger and his 
friends and myrmidons were leaving no stone 
untumed to make the position of the British, 
and, indeed, of ail aliens other than their own 
aUies, impossible in the Transvaal, and to 
eliminate the Impérial fa,ctor in S.A. gene- 
rally. Ail efEorts at redress in the S.A.R. 
proving abortive ; the Uitlanders repeatedly 
told from this side that if they wanted relief 
they must take steps to secure it from within, 
IVIr. Rhodes ultimately determined to lend 
them a helping hand. Arms were smuggled 
into Johannesburg, and Dr. Jameson' s armed 
force was stationed on the border. It is im- 
possible to say whether, given fair luck instead 
of *' rank bad luck," given discreet subor- 
dinates, this ill-judged attempt, would or could 
hâve proved successful. In any case, it re- 
sulted in dire failure, and it is not too much 
to say the event itself, and what grew out of 
it, must hâve had the effect of shortening by 
many years the most useful life in S.A. In 
dismissing it, it is sufficient to quote and en- 
dorse Mr. Chamberlain' s famous statement in 
the House of Commons, which, while recog- 
nizing the political fault, asserted that nothing 
«xisted *' which affected Mr. Rhodes' personal 
character as a man of honour." 

A man of honour Mr. Rhodes undoubtedly 
was. The '* Airican Review," in an excellent 
appréciative memoir of this great man, has 
recorded in words which we cannot attempt 
to improve upon how loyal he was to his friends, 
and just to his enemies. He always set before 
him a high standard of conduct, the standard 
set up by Aristotle, which he was so fond of 
quoting. He aimed for himself, and, so far 
as lay in his power, set the idéal before his 
fellow men, to achieve that realization of the 
highest spiritual good that was in him through 
the S3rstematic and strenuous training of the 



best qualities of his manhood. His statee- 
manship was conceived on thèse Unes. Hé 
desired to see the British Empire great and 
prospérons, not in a merely material and sordid 
way, but great and prospérons by reason of 
the aggregated greatness and well-being of its 
individuel citizens. He worked unceasingly 
to this end, sparing himself nothing, and to 
this noble ambition he sacrificed his life. Almost 
his Ifitst public service to the country he loved 
so deeurly was rendered during the récent war. 
Those who were with him during the Kim- 
berley siège know with what singlenesa of 
purpose he threw himself into the defence of 
the town. There, as on so many other occa- 
sions, he displayed the true nobility and altruism 
of his nature. For, strongly individuel as Mr. 
Rhodes was, he was in no sensé, save the porely 
superficial one, an egotist. He lived for his 
race. He knew that his race needed him, and 
this nerved him to make a splendid strug^e 
with death when he became conscious of lis 
near approach. ** There is so much to be 
done," were almost his last words. Nevor- 
theless, he met the spectre with résignation 
and with the f ortitude of a pagan hero. When 
I am dead," he once said, *' let there be no fuss ! 
Lay me in my grave. Tread down the earth 
and pass on ; I shaU hâve done my work I '* 
Though not a briUiant orator, he was a most 
convincing speaker ; excelled in knowing what 
to say, and when to say it, and always carried 
his audience with him. He won the con- 
fidence of the Cape Dutch under the leadership 
of Mr. Hofmeyr, and did not despair of ulti- 
mately winning over the TransvcuJers» untîl 
the unfortunate raid made his temporary 
withdrawal from S.A. politics necessary. Few 
Ënglishmen hâve had a larger f oUowing of hero- 
worshippers, and it is fortunate for our pré- 
dominance in the Cape that he had not to 
encounter such opposition from British Minis- 
ters as might seriously hâve impeded the 
fruition of his schemes. This was largely due 
to his almost hypnotic power of impressing his 
ideas upon ail with whom he ceune in contact. 

We hâve previously referred to that earlier 
period in Mr. Rhodes' career when he was fizst 
building up a place amongst the mining and 
financial magnâtes. The smeJl claims were 
becoming unworkable owing to thousands of 
tons of débris falling from the walls, and Mr. 
Rhodes quickly perceived that the only pos- 
sible way to continue working was by amal- 
gamating the holdings into one workable oon» 
cem. This process was initiated [nntil the 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



ic 



Kimberley claims were oontrolled by four 
companies, and eventually in 1888 the great 
De Beers Consolidated Co. was formed to 
absorb even thèse. It was not without en- 
countering exceeding diffîculties that Mr. 
Khodes carried through this great scheme, 
meeting with much opposition from the late 
Mr. B. I. Bamato, who, however, ultimately 
came to terms with the colossus, Messrs. Rhodes 
and Bamato each being one of the four life 
govemors of the Co. In addition to the extra- 
ordinary financial energy displayed by so young 
a man in building up this gigantic diamond 
corporation, his ability must also be recognized 
in such détails as the compound System 
diminishing thefts by nigger workers, and the 
syndicate controlling the price of diamonds. 

During the final years in which Mr. Rhodes 
was working on this, his great and initial scheme, 
his attention weis also attracted by the opening 
of the goldfields in the Transvaal. There is no 
doubt that, inunersed as he was in his De Beers 
and northem ideas, he did not dévote so much 
attention to the Band as his financial genius, 
with so stupendous an opportunity, would hâve 
desired. But, in conjunction with C. D. Rudd, 
he formed the great ConsoUdated Goldfields 
of S.A., in 1887, with a capital of £250,000. 
Mr. Rhodes' personal supervision was, of 
course, not prominent, and the properties at 
first acquired were, from subséquent Trans- 
vcmJ mining expérience, not first-rate. But 
the Co. quickly found its true footing, and the 
Consolidated Goldfields of to-day ranks with 
the Rand Mines as having for years held the 
pick of the coming mining areas on the Reuid. 
As évidence of the mannerin which, in ail Mr. 
Rhodes* schemes, the success of one was made 
to haâten the success of another, ail on the road 
to the acquisition of Rhodesia, one may mention 
the well-known financial share which the De 
Beers Co. has had in the baxsking up of the 
Chartered Co. ; while the Consolidated Gold- 
fields of S.A. gave similar assistance. In 1889 
it acquired a half-interest in the Rudd Con- 
cessions, presently represented by eight and 
a-half units out of thirty in a Consolidated com- 
peuiy, merged once more into a company with 
a very large share capital, and to be absorbed by 
the Chartered Co. Under this arrangement the 
Goldfields were to receive more than a queirter 
of a million shares. In addition, the Goldfields 
took 102,500 shares in the Chartered Co. Then 
the capital was inoreetsed by 130,000 shares to 
acquire the Johnson, Heany, & Borrow rights 
in Mazoe, Hartley, etc., in Mashonaland. It 



was in this way that the astute genius of M 
Rhodes, working its way stubbomly throu^ 
a maze of financial intrigues, used the ui 
rivalled financial power of his earher compeuii< 
in a country where financial opposition was ne 
to be feared — for those men who had alread 
attained financial importance in the earlies 
gold and diamond days he had arrayed besid 
himself — in carrying through the vast scheme 
which, had he stood alone, would hâve beei 
too weighty even for himself, while his politica 
power also played an important part in th< 
matter. 

So far, however, as the personal finance ol 
Mr. Rhodes is concemed, in 1892, on an amal- 
gamation with other companies, and on the 
raising of the capital of the Goldfields to 
£1,250,000, the foimiders (Messrs. Rudd and 
Rhodes) received 80,000 shares, while in 1894 
their rights to two-fifteenths of the net profits 
were extinguished, by the payment to them 
of 100,000 shares. From this point onward 
it may be said that the career of Mr. Rhodes, 
so far as the building of his personal fortune 
was concemed, was finished. Thenceforward 
his schemes concem the provision of ways and 
means for the great Northem undertaking. 
His hand was ever in his pocket, euid it wUl 
probably never be known how much, from his 
private means, he has contributed towards the 
exigencies of the infcmt territories. Especially 
was this the cajse in regard to the northem 
extension of the rctilway towards Rhodesia, 
and on its way to Cairo, and on the preliminary 
telegraph Une which is already so far advanced. 

In October 1901, Mr. Rhodes' health, which 
had been in a preccbrious state for a yecur pre- 
viously, began to show a serions tum for the 
worse. Acting on médical advice, he started 
for a trip in the Mediterranean, CMîcompanied 
by Mr. Beit and Dr. Jameson. He then visited 
the leuid of the Pharaohs ; retumed to England, 
still an invaUd, and soon left the English winter 
for Muizenberg, a f avourite watering place near 
Cape Town. Hère Mr. Rhodes developed heart 
trouble, and eventually he had to lay aside ail 
business, although no serions resuit was antici- 
pated, the médical attendants hoping that the 
patient' s vitality would prevail sufficiently to 
enable him to undertake a voyage to England, 
arrangements for which were axstually made in 
one of the mail steamers sailing from Cape 
Town. Mr. Rhodes, too, was anxious to pro- 
ceed to England, but his condition was such 
that travelling under the circumstances was 
absolutely out of the question. During the last 



192 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



few days of his illness it was patent that he was 
growing weaker and weaker, and although 
there was a slight improvement occasioncJly, 
Mr. Rhodes' friends prepared themselves for 
the worst. From the Sunday before his death 
he took little or no interest in matters which 
before then he freely discussed ; but he was 
constantly dozing, and the continually increasing 
dropsy working upwards showed only too 
plainly that the end was not far ofE. On Tues- 
day, March 25, 1902, the first serions crisis was 
surmounted ; but it left the patient so weak 
that, when he had another severe attack on the 
following day, it was évident the struggle was 
almost over. Death, which was perfectly pain- 
less, occurred at three minutes to six, conscious- 
ness being retained till within three minutes of 
the end. A few minutes previous to passing 
away Mr. Rhodes faintly muttered the names 
of his brother and some of the others around 
him, evidently meaning to say good-bye. Dr. 
Jameson, Dr. Smartt (Commissioner of Public 
Works), Sir Charles Motcalfe, Colonel Elmhurst 
Rhodes, and Mr. J. Walton (member of the 
House of Assembly for Port Elizabeth) were 
by his bedside, while ail his attendants and 
" boys" were also présent. Of ail those who 
attended Mr. Rhodes during his illness Dr. 
Stevenson was the only one absent at the end. 
Among Mr. Rhodes' last utterances were the 
words, " So little done. So much to do." A 
poat-mortem oxamination of the body revealed 
an extensive aneurism of the heart. The place 
of Mr. Rhodes' burial was not ill-chosen. In 
a solid tomb in the Matoppo Hills, known now 
as the World' s View, the remains of the founder 
of Rhodesia lie at rest. 

Mr. Rhodes' will and codicils were character- 
istic of the man. He made large provision for 
scholarships for the advantage of American, 
German, S.A. and other students, and set aside 
ample sums for expérimental farming, irriga- 
tion, forestry, etc., and for the endowment of 
an agricultural collège. His executors are Lord 
Milner, Lord Rosebery, Sir Lewis Mitchell, Lord 
Grey, Mr. Beit, Mr. B. F. Hawksley and Dr. 
Jamoson, the latter name having been added 
in the last codicil. Mr. W. T. Stead had been 
named previously as an executor, but that 
gentleman' s " extraordinary eccentricities " led 
to his being removed from such a responsible post.

went to Jamaica, where he spent about twenty 
years in varions positions. EUs duties feU

selected for Sierra Leone. There he dia much 
good work in investigating and combating 
tropical diseases of ail Hnds ; and what he has 
accomplished in this important brazich of 
médical science has proved of the highest value. 
On leaving Sierra Leone, Sir David was pro- 
moted to the important office of Surgeon-

and expérience hâve enabled the C^vt. to 
practically couvert what many regaided as a

of the Judges of the Appellate Court of the 
Province of the Falatinate. He waa educated 
at the Jesuit Institute of Neuburg, on the 
Danube, was a Latin prizeman at that academy, 
and entered the ranks of the Bavarian army as 
a private, but with the privilèges of a gentleman 
cadet. He fought on the Royal aide in the dis- 
turbances of 1850-2, and was made a Sub-Lieut. 
in récognition of services in the field ; he volun- 
teered to serve in the Crimea with the Grerman 
Légion. He went to the Cape in 1857 with the 
rank of Ensign ; was for some time a teacher 
of German before being appointed Grerman 
Interpréter in the office of the R.M. at King 
WiUiamstown. Later he started as an 
auctioneer, and from 1859 to 1866 took an 
active part in opposing the annexation of 
KafEraria to the Cape Colony. He was one of 
the accused in the famous Cedabash case, and 
waa fined £100 for shooting a Ke^ sheep- 
stealer. He was elected a member of the Cape 
Assembly in 1868. Li 1872 he failed in business 
and went to the diamond fields, to Lydenburg, 
the Limpopo and Matabeleland, eventually be- 
coming éditer of the Bloemfontein ** Express." 
He left Bloemfontein (having been bumed in 
effigy there), and retumed to King WilUams-

War ; was appointed Comdt. of the Amatola 
Division ; volunteered for service in the Zulu 
War, and commanded at Luneberg, being 
présent at the engagements of Zlobane and 
Kambula, and distinguishing himself at the 
Pemvani River. In 1880 he accompcmied Sir 
Gordon Sprigg to Basutoland to raise a police 
force, but retired when the Sprigg Ministry was 
overtumed. In 1882 he was elected M.L.C. for 
the Eastem Circle ; was re-elected two yesurs 
later, and in the same year joined Sir Thomas 
Uppington's cabinet as Commissioner of Crown 
Lands and PubUc Works, and continued this 
office in the second Sprigg Ministry. He 
succossfully contested King WiUiamstown at 
the General Elections for the Cape House of 
Assembly in 1888, 1894, and 1904, and was 
also a life member of the Executive Council 
of the Cape of Grood Hope. Col. Schermbrucker 
was a keen Imperialist, a clever speeiker, a great 
admirer of Cecil Rhodes, a loyal supporter of 
Dr. Jameson, and a tower of strength to the 
Progressive p£urty. He was deoorated with the 
Pope' s Order, **Pro Pontifice et Eoclesia," and 
wore the medals for the Gaika War, the Basuto-

his time and abilities. Though of a literar, 
bent of mind, Mr. Sheffield did not find th 
time to dévote attention to literature. Hit 
one production, entitled ** My Impressions o:

capable writer. Ai ter a long illness Mr. Sheffield 
died at Johannesburg on Feb. 6, 1904, leaving 
a wife and a large family of daughters. 

SHIELS, Thomas, who died on March 10, 
1904, was for many years a Director of De Beers 
Consolidated Mines, and a strong supporter of 
the late Mr. Rhodes. Owing to failing heolth, 
Mr. Shiels resigned his seat at the De Beers 
Board in 1903, and at the time of his death his 
holding in the company had for some time 
been quite a small one. When he died at Edin-

completing his 70th year. Mr. Shiels was one 
of the pioneers of the S.A. Diamond Fields, and 
at Kimberley, where he resided for a long period 
of years, he was greatly respected for his many 
good qualities. 

SHIPPARD, Ser Sidnby Godoi^phin Axbx- 
ANDEB, K.C.M.G., who died at his résidence in 
West Halkin Street, London, on March 29, 1902, 
from the eSects of inâuenza, was well known in 
S.A., where for many years he filled responsible 
positions. He weis educated at Kin^s Coll. 
Sch. and Oriel and Hertford Colis., Oxford, and 
was called to the Bar at the Liner Temple 
in 1867. From 1873 to 1884 he held varioua 
judicial appointments in Cape Colony, and in 
the Isist-named yoar was appointed Adminis- 
trator of British Bechuanaland. The next year 
he became Résident Commissioner for Bechuana- 
land, holding that post until 1895. On the 
résignation of Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Beit from 
the Chartered Co. after the raid, Sir Sidney

Anglo-African Who's Who 



was appointed a Director, a post which he held 
up to lus death. Sir Sidney was a distinguished 
jurist, and many of his judgments are regarded 
as masterpieces of their kind. He was the 
Brîtish Commissioner in tho Angra Pequeûa 
dispute with Grennany, and was created a 
K.C.M.G. in 1887. Few men enjoyed a better 
deserved popularity throughout the Cape 
Colony, for Sir Sidney Shippard was a man of 
culture and refinement, who made his influence 
felt in whatever position he wsis called upon 
to fill. 

SKINNER, Db. W. A., who died at Pieter- 
maritzburg, Natal, in the summer of 1904, was 
bom in Scotland, graduated at Edinburgh Univ., 
and took honours in London. He went to 
Natal in 1900, and obtained the post of 
Asst. Médical Officer at the NataJ Grovt. Asylum. 
Dr. Skinner held this appointment until his 
death, which occurred in lus 31st year. 

SMITH, NiGEL Martin, who died in 1904, 
was well known in financial circles as a Director 
of the Standard Bank of South Africa, and upon 
the amalgamation of Smith' s Bank with the 
Union Bank of London he was elected on the 
board of the joint concem. He was a member 
of the conunittee of the Victoria Hospital for 
Children, and closely identified with other 
similar institutions. He took a deep interest 
in the young men employod in the banks, and 
in their sports and récréations. 

STANLEY, Sm Henby Mobtôn, G.C.B., 
D.C.L. of Oxford, Camb. and Durhajn, LL.D. 
of Edin., Ph.D. of Halle ; late of 2, Richmond 
Terrace, Whitehall, London, and of Furze Hill, 
Pirbright, was bom about the year 1841 in 
Denbighshire, so far as is known, for his early 
years are clouded by much obscurity. But it 
is understood that he spent many years of his 
childhood in the workhouse, and at the âge 
of fourteen shipped as a cabin boy for New 
Orléans, where he found a générons patron in 
the person of a Mr. Stanley, whose name he 
adopted. On the outbreak of the American 
War in 1861 Henry Morton Stanley joined the 
Confederate forces, but afterwards fought on 
the Fédéral side. In 1867 young Stanley went 
as correspondent of the " New York Herald " 
with the British troops in Abyssinia, and after 
the fall of Magdala he represented that journal 
in Spain. It was while he was there that a 
telegram sununoned him to Paris in October, 
1869, and he was commissioned to go and fînd 



Dr. Livingstone. He started on this vague 
enterprise immediately, attending, en rouie, 
the opening of the Suez Canal, visiting Sir 
Seunuel Beiker in Upper Egypt, running over 
to see Capt. Warren in Jérusalem, visiting 
Stamboul, going over the old Crimean battle- 
fields, visiting Trebizond, Tiâis and other places, 
and eventuaUy joumeying through Persia, and 
finding his way overland to Bombay, where he 
embarked in Oct., 1870, for Mauritius. Thence 
he procured a passcige to Zanzibar, and began 
in Jan., 1871, his inland joumey in seeurch of 
the great missionary. In the following Novem- 
ber the intrepid party found themselves on the 
eastem shores of Tanganyika, and hère» at a 
village called Ujiji, they encountered Dr. Living- 
stone. Upon lus retum to England, the beeurer 
of Livingstone' s diary, Mr. Stanley (not jret 
knighted) was universally lionized. The Queen 
presented him with a gold snuff box with the 
V.R. in brilliants. The King (then Prince of 
Wales) gave him an audience ; King Huxnbert 
of ItaJy presented a portrait of himself, while 
from Victor Emmanuel he received a gold 
medal. Leamed societies and illustrions per^ 
sonages showered addresses, gifts and invita- 
tions upon him, and Stanley realized to the fnll 
the meaning of famé, and enjoyed the nation's 
reward for long months of daiiger, fever, toil 
and privations endured for the suocour of a 
fellow man. 

A year or two later he retumed to Afrioa to 
represent the '* New York Herald '* in the 
Ashantee War, and on his retum the ever- 
enterprising "Daily Telegraph" joined with 
the "New York Herald" in sendmg Stanley 
back to complète the discoveries of Speke, Sur 
R. Burton and Livingstone (who was now 
dead). As a resuit of the libered means sup- 
plied by Mr. J. M. Levy and Mr. Edward L. 
Lawson of the " Telegraph," and Mr. James 
Gordon Bennett of the " Herald," Mr. Staidey'B 
expédition resulted in the Ckccomplishment of 
three great achievements, each one of which 
would hâve meule the lifelong réputation of 
any ordinary explorer. The Victoria Nyaasa 
was for the ârst time circumnavigated and its 
shores accurately mapped out. The Tangan3r£lca 
was also circmnnavigated, and the resolt of 
the expédition showed, what before had baen 
unknown, that thèse two great inland seas wece 
not in any way connected with eeboh other. 
But the greatest of his African exploits remains 
to be chronicled. Striking due west, Stanley 
met the River Lualaba, followed the xnys- 
terious stream northward along its banks» and 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



i< 



ultimately embarked on its waters, finally 
emerging by it on the Atlantic Océan at the 
mouth of the Congo. No more momentous 
geographîcal discovery has ever been made in 
modem days than the proof thus given that 
the Lualaba and the Congo were the same river, 
and that the latter wa.s almost continuously 
navigable, and certainly capable of being 
utiUzed as a high road for future African com- 
merce. During a great part of the joumey 
through Central Airica Stanley was accom- 
panied by the great slave trader, Tippoo Tib, 
and many conflicts with natives took place ; 
but, although they met with censure in some 
quarters, they could only be regsurded as part 
of the price of the advantages to science, civili- 
zation, religion and empire which ultimately 
a^ccrued. 

In 1879 Mr. Stanley (as he still was) was 
deputed by the newly formed African Inter- 
national Association, of which King Leo- 
pold II was the founder, to establish trading 
stations and open up the land bordering on the 
Congo, with the main object of promoting 
commerce. In 1884 was founded the Congo 
Free State, referred to in Mr. Stanley' s ** The 
Congo, and the Founding of the Free State" 
(1885), and the first Govemorship of this terri- 
tory was offered to, but declined by, the ex- 
plorer and pioneer of commerce in West Africa. 

In Jan., 1887, the Egyptian Treasury placed 
£10,000 at Stanley* s disposai for the relief of 
Emin Pasha, upon which he set out from the 
Congo with many able lieutenants, pushing on 
to the Aruwhimi River, where he established 
a base. Stanley then took the greater part of 
his force northwards, and after seemingly end- 
less obstacles — death, disease, hunger, desperate 
conflicts with natives, struggles through virgin 
forests, etc., he at length met Emin, and 
brought him back in triumph. 

But many and fatiguing joumeys through 
the worst parts of Africa, punctuated with over 
a hundred attaoks of fever, were telling upon 
the exploreras heeJth. Many tempting offers 
of profitable employment were made, but he 
resolved to settle down in England. He mar- 
ried Dorothy, a dau. of Mr. C. Tennant, of 
Ceuloxton Lodge, Vale of Neath, Glamorgan- 
shire, in 1880, and after one unsuccessful 
attempt to enter Farliament, was eleoted in 
the Libéral Unionist înterest as member for 
North Lambeth at the gênerai élection in 1895, 
retiring in 1900, a yectf after receiving the 
honour of knighthood. In 1898 he paid one 
more visit to Africa on the oocaedon of the 



opening of the railway to Bulawayo. Sir Hem 
died on May 10, 1904, and was buried at PL 
bright, lamented by numberless friends, an 
honoured by ail. Beside the book eilread 
referred to, he was the author of '* Coomassi 
and Magdala," *' How I found Livingstone,' 
"In Darkest Africa," "Through the Darl 
Continent," and " Through South Africa." 

STOKES, Gênerai. Sm John, K.C.B., th€ 
gallant soldier who so distinguished himsolf îd 
the Kafir War of 1846, and who did suoh fine 
service for Lord Beaconsfield in connexion with 
the Suez Canal in 1875, was bom when George IV 
was King, and was in his 77th year when he died. 

STRAKOSCH, Rudolph, of Johannesburg, 
was a junior member of the Johannesburg stafi 
of Messrs. A. Goerz & Co., Ltd., He waâ an 
engineer of considérable promise, and came by 
his death on June 7, 1904. 

TARBUTT,'Peroy, late of 23, St. Swithin's 
Lane, London, E.C. who died early in 1904, wa«i 
originally in partnership with Mr. Cecil Quenton. 
The latter some years ago retired from the ôrm, 
and, devoting his leisure to his favourite hobby, 
haâ since become famous in the ya<3hting world. 
Mr. Tsurbutt, on the other hand, haâ died in 
hamess. On his own account he devoted him- 
self more assiduously than ever to business, 
and his directorship of the Consolidated Gold 
Fields of South Africa, which he held till the 
day of his death, was the first of a long séries. 
His capacity for work, his mastery of détail, 
and what may be called his generalship, were so 
remarkablethat he heldsimultaneouslydirector- 
ships of no fewer than twenty four mining 
development, and investment cos., not ail of 
which were African. He waâ ohairman of 
three of those cos. — ^namely, the British 
Gold Coaât Co., Limited ; the Mashonaland 
Agenoy, Limited ; and the Village Reef Gold 
Mining Co. As a director he waa able in 
administration, with the advanta.ge of practic£kl 
skill in mining matters, and he was not the 
sortof man to be esisily infiuenced by timid 
counsels or peevish protests when he had made 
up his mind for what he oonsidered the beat. 

With W. African enterprises, however, he 
had been pre-eminently associated. He was 
a pioneer of the movement for the development 
of W. Africa' s gold resources — a movement 
which, though uneventful for the time being, 
is still fraught with great potentiaUties. Those 
potentialities were foreseen by him befoie the 



igô 



Anglo-African Who's Who 



big boom in W. Africans, and, being early in 
the field, with his friend and colleague, Mr. 
Edmund Davis, he had become a Jungle mag- 
nate, with large and widely ramifying interests. 
Professionally, the late Mr. Tarbutt was most 
intimately associated with Mr. Edward Janson, 
his partner in the firm of Tarbutt, Son & 
Janson, civil engineers. 

THOMPSON, W. J., J.P., late of Kippington 
Green, Sevenoaks, Kent, founder of the firm

Kippington, of which his son, the Rev. H. 
Percy Thompson, is vicar. 

TUDHOPE, HoN. John, late of Dulwich 
Wood Park, XJpper Norwood, was of Scottish 
birth and parentage, and went to S.A. with his 
father and family in 1840. Mr. F. Tudhope 
was one of a band of teachers selected from the 
Scottish Universities to introduce the Herschell 
System of higher éducation, and was for twenty- 
five years the principal of the Pubhc Sch. at 
Grahamstown, where his son was educated. 
Mr. John Tudhope began his business career 
in King Williamstown, then the capital of the 
Crown Colony of British Kaffraria, and took 
an active part with Col. Schermbrucker, Mr. 
Joseph Walker and others in its pubUc affairs. 
He was one of the founders of the British 
Kaffrarian Bank, the Public Library, and other 
local institutions. He afterwards resided in 
Port Elizabeth, Aliwal North and Uitenhage, 
representing the latter division in the Cape | 
Parliament for six years, and becoming a mem- I 
ber of Sir Thomas Uppington's Ministry as 
Colonial Secy. in 1885. This post he occupied 
for four and a-half years, and during that time 
identified himself with educational and agricul- 
tural measures of great benefit to the country. 
Amongst other things, he introduced, not with- 
out considérable opposition, the first Scab Act ; 
the Agricultural Coll. at Groot Constantia was 
begun under his Ministerial control ; and he was 
instrumental in introducing farm schools and 
other useful and progressive measures in the 
Education Dept. over which he presided. 

In 1889 he resigned his position to take up 
the important post of General Manager of the 
newly formed Johannosbiu*g Consohdated In- 



vestment Co., a concem which has grown froxn 
modest beginnings to a financiekl institution of 
the first importance during Mr. Tudhope* s con- 
nexion with it. During his résidence in Johan- 
nesburg he soon became identified with the 
poUtical movements then beginning to agitate 
the Transvaal under the old régime. He was 
the first Près, of the now celebrated Transvaal 
National Union, and occupied that position 
during two and a-half exciting yecurs, when he 
retired in faveur of Chsurles Léonard. He 
thoroughly identified himself with the publie 
life of Johannesburg, taking part in many useful 
movements. He was Chairman of the Public 
Library for" four years; on the Managing Com- 
mittee of the fine Hospital for a simileur period ; 
chief of the Caledonian Society for several years, 
and belonged to many other bodies of a useful 
and philanthropie character. He subsequently

SOME PROMINENT ANGLO-AFRICANS 
AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS. 



In the biographical section of this book we hâve referred, in some cases at considei 
length, to undertakings with which the subjects of our sketches hâve been ident 
But a diffîculty has constantly conf ronted us, inasmuch as in a large majority of < 
it would be exceedingly invidious to ascribe the success (or failure) of a parti 
enterprise to any one individual, and, in the lines devoted to his career, to crédit 
with achievements in which he bas been equally aided by other members of his 
or temporarily allied, groups. In South Africa especially there are few cases ti 
one strong man stands out pre- ^ ninently above lus cooirères, and who might 
justice say " Alone I did it." Mr. J. B. Robinson in the Transvaal, Mr. R< 
Williams in Northern Zambesia, and Sir Alfred Jones in West Africa, are instfi 
of the latter which immediately occur to one. But in the vast majority of cases 
more suitable to deal with South African enterprises as the joint achievemen 
numerous workers, combining their forces for a common end, be that end the dev 
ment of industries or the expansion of an Empire. 

THE BRITISH SOUTH AFRIGA COMPANY. 

The sub-Continent is particularly indebted to joint-stock enterprise. 
Rhodesia, a country larger in area them France, Germany, Austria and Italy 
bined, is administered under what is for ail intents and purposes the Joint Stock ( 
panies Acts. At a time when more than one European Power was anxious to esta 
itself in Africa, the British Impérial Parliament could not undertake the vast resp 
bilities involved in the acquisition of such an extensive territory as that whicl 
for years borne the name of Rhodesia ; and had it not been for the f oies^ht 
patriotic enterprise of Mr. Cecil Rhodes and his associâtes in the formation, o 
Ghartered Gompany, Matabeleland and Mashonaland would probably hâve f 
to either one of thèse Powers, or would hâve become part of the South Af: 
Republic. Early in 1888 Lobengula entered into a Treaty with Great Britain ; 
Messrs. G. D. Rudd, Rochfort Maguire and F. R. Thompson went to Matabek 
to obtain concessions, with a view to the formation of the Ghartered Gompany. 
Rudd Goncession was obtained from Lobengula in October, 1888, and the I 
Charter was granted just a year later. 

The Gompany having decided, on the advice of Lobengula, to open up Masl

land first, organized a pioneer expédition under Major Frank Johnson (Jane, 1890), 
consisting of about 200 Ëuropeans and 150 native laboiqrers. The aim of the expé- 
dition was to eut a road 400 miles long from Macloutsie, passing through the south 
of Matabeleland and terminating at Mount Hampden, in Maahonaland. This was 
duly accomplished, and having founded Fort Salisbury at a spot twelve miles south- 
east of Mount Hampden (September 12, 1890), the column was disbanded, and 
immediately set to work prospecting and occupying the country. 

Much was done by the Company in the next four years to develop the country. 
Mr. A. Colquhoun assumed the a^inistration of Mashonaland in October, 1890, 
there being then about 1,000 white men in the country. Mining Gommissioners weie 
appointed, townships laid out, roads constructed to différent pcui», a postal System 
inaugurated and measures taken generally for the settlement of the country. Mr. 
Colquhoun was succeeded by Dr. L. S. Jameson, who was appointed Chief Magistrate 
in September, 1891. For the protection of the conmiunity forts wete built at Toli, 
Victoria, Charter and Salisbury, and a miUtary police force was enroUed. The 
strength of the force in 1891 reached 650, but was reduced as soon as possible to 140 
whites and 16 native police, and a volunteer force (" Mashonaland Horse ") 600 strong, 
raised locally by Major Forbes, took its place ; the remainder of the settiers forming 
a burgher force in case of need. The Chartered Company arranged for the extension 
northwards of the Cape telegraph and railway from Maieking, and the surveys for the 
Beira Railway, Connecting Mashonaland with the East Coaist, were begun in 1891. 
A commission of prominent South African farmers came up in 1891 to look into the 
agricultural prospects of the country, and gave a most satisfactory report, resolting 
in the organization of the '* Moodie trek " of farmers with their &milies, which left 
the Orange Free State in May, 1892, and founded the settlement of Melsetter, in Gaza- 
land, early in 1893. 

In 1890 and 1891 a number of Boers from the Transvaal attempted to enter the 
south-east portion of Matabeleland and occupy it by force. This invasion was averted 
by the firm attitude of the Company {see lh:e&. Kruger, p. 97). Boer farmers were, 
however, invited to come in and settle peacefully in the country ; they now f orm the 
majority in the districts of Charter and Melsetter, and assisted the Company loyally 
during the native troubles. 

^e same year the Company found themselves somewhat embarrassied by the 
action of Mr. Edward Lippert, a Transvaal financier and banker, who obtained from 
Lobengula a concession to grant titles to land in the Company's field of opérations. As 
the Rudd Concession did not formally provide for more than mining rights, it was 
decided to come to terms with Mr. Lippert and to take over his concession. This 
was accordingly arranged, and the matter received the consent of Her late Majesty's 
Secretary of State, in March, 1892. Other concessions from numerous chieb were 
secured soon after the entrance of the pioneers to the country, the most important 
being those from Umtassa (Manicaland), Lewanika (Barotsel^md), and Oungunhana 
(Gazaland). In connexion with certain of thèse concessions some friction arose with 
the Portuguese, resulting in the temporary occupation of Massikessi by the Khode- 
sians. A modus vivendi was, however, arrived at, and the most cordial relations hâve 
since prevailed. 



Southern Rhodesia 



THE FIBST MATABELE WAR. 

The year 1893 was a most eventful one for the pioneer community. The B 
analand Railway Company had been formed and work started on the Vryburg-] 
wayo extension ; the &rst section of the Beira Railway had been opened, a goâ 
msîde from Salisbury to the railhead, and a telegraph line constructed f rom Mafc 
to Salisbury. A period of steady progress was anticipated. Unfortunately, 
with the Matabele was forced on the Company by the action of Lobengula. 
duties of maintaining peace and order imposed on them by the Charter were r 
most difficult by the existence of the Matabele military System, under which 
Mashonas were periodically raided, their cattle looted, and men, women and chil 
camed into slavery, thus reducing the Mashona tribes to an abject and impoveri 
condition. 

The Company prepared for war, informing the High Commissioner that 
did not wish to ask the assistance of Her Majesty's Government in dealing witli 
trouble which had arisen. Repeated attempts at negotiation with Lobengula pr 
fruitless, and the Company's poUce having been fired upon near Victoria, Dr. Jam 
was authorized by the High Commissioner to proceed as he thought best. On Octo] 
the Matabele fir^ on a party of Bechuanaland Border PoUce, an Impérial force pa 
ling British territory. The High Commissioner immediately ordered Col. Gh 
Adams to occupy Tati with a force of Bechuanaland Border Police and to affc 
junction with the Company's colunm at Tuli, which was about to proceed northwi 
The main body of the Company's forces, consisting of police, settlers and native a 
under the command of Maj. P. W. Forbes, accompanied by Dr. Jameson, enl 
Matabeleland early in October, 1893, being joined there by Mr. Rhodes, who 
hurried up from the South. Décisive engagements occurred at the Shangani I 
(October 24) and the Bembesi River (November 1), in which Lobengula's best 
ments were thoroughly beaten. Bulawayo was bumt by Lobengula's orders and 
in our hands (November 4), while the kii^ himseU took to flight towards the Zam 
Letters were sent aiter him asking him to come back, and guaranteeing his sai 
but no answer having been received before the two da3n3 of grâce had ezpired, 
Forbes was instructed to pursue him. On December 3, at a point on the Shai 
River, eighty-four miles N.N.W. of Shiloh, the pursuers came close on Lobeng 
track, and a small reconnoitring party under Maj. Alan Wilson crossed the i 
which unfortunately came down in flood and eut them off from their compan 
Ai ter making a most gallant stand they were overwhelmed by the king's body gi 
who did not leave one alive. A monument has been erected to their memory cl 
the tomb of Mr. Rhodes in the Matoppo Hills. Owing to the diffîculty of me 
troops in the rainy season, Major Forbes retumed to Bulawayo, while Lobengula 
the remuants of his band retired towards the Zambesi, where Lobengula died. 

Under the altered circumstances of the country it became necessary to < 
its future Administration with Her Majesty's govemment, and a new Co m 
was agreed upon (July 18, 1894), the govemment of the country being camea o 
an Administrator (Dr. L. S. Jameson) and a Coundl of four, consisting of Mr. J 



200 Anglo-African Who's Who 




Vintcent ; Col. F. W. Rhodes, D.S.O., Military Member of Councfl ; A. H. P. Dun- 
can, Surveyor-General ; and George Pauling, Commissioner of Public Works. 

The years 1894 and 1896 were marked by prosperity and peace. The 
and farming industries were pushed on and the railwa3n3 and telegraphs extendi 
The volunt^r force was reorganized, and a native police force consisting entirely of 
Matabele was established. 

The political disturbances, which had long been threatening in the Transvaal, 
culminated in December, 1896, when Dr. Jameson, with a force largely composed 
of the Company's poUce, made an unauthorized incursion into the South African Be- 
public, with a view to assisting the Uitlander population {see Dr. L. S. Jameson's life). 
Dr. Jameson's résignation from the position of Administrator was accepted early in 
1896, and the Bight Hon. the Ëarl Grey succeeded him in April of that year. 



THE SECOND MATABELE WAB. 

Then followed a séries of misf ortunes which might hâve combined to wreck a 
greater country than Bhodesia. A drought of abnormal length and severity had 
prevailed ; locusts devastated the country ; and rinderpest, hitherto quite unknown 
in South Africa, came down from the north, destroying whole herds of native cattle. 
The M'Iimo (the Makalaka deity) persuaded the Matabele that this combination of 

{>lagues was the direct resuit of the malign influence of the white men ; and Matabe- 
eland was once more plunged in war, the natives beginning hostilities with a pre- 
arranged séries of savage murders of white men, women and children, in March, 1896. 

Kie Company's territory, deprived for the time of its police protection owing 
to the Jameson Baid, was at a disadvantage when this second Matabele War broke 
out ; but the danger to the whole population was successf ully averted by the courageous 
and self-reliant action of the settlers. f 

Measures for protecting the community were at once taken. Laagers were formed 
at Bulawayo and Gwelo, and Maj. Laing with his small party also went into laager 
at Belingwe. The existing Volunteer Force was expand^ into the Bulawayo Field 
Force, and under the leadership of Cols. W. Napier, J. Spreckley and Hon. Maurice 
Gifford, Capts. Macfarlane, George Grey and P. C. Selous, numerous patrols were 
sent out in varions directions, and they were successful in bringing in small parties of 
refugees. The great danger to the Bulawayo laager was that the Matoppo and 
Umgusa rebels might combine and rush the town, but on April 26, Oapt. Macfarlane 
engaged the enemy at the Umgusa, and defeated them so heavily as to remove ail 
cause for anxiety. It was necessary to follow up with vigour Capt. Macfarlane's 
victory ; the settlers, however, were not strong enough to accomplish this, and the 
Impérial Government issued instructions for the inhabitants to wait for reinforce- 
ments. Col. Plumer, with a force of Volunteers, left Mafeking on April 12, and 
Tcached Bulawayo at the end of May, after a brilliant engagement at the Khami. 
Simultaneously, a column raised in Salisbury under Col. Beal, and accompanied 
by Mr. Bhodes, left for the relief of Bulawayo. Col. Napier went out to meet them, 
defeating the rebels at Thabas Induna ; and Col. Beal, after a successful action at 



\ 



The Matabele Rébellion 



Mavene, joined Napier's force, and proceeded to Bulawayo, bringing in quanti 
captured stock. 

Sir Richard Martin arrived in Bulawayo on May 21, and took over com 
of military opérations until the arrivai of Gen. Sir F. Garrington on June 3. 
columns under Plumer and Macfarlane were sent out north and south, and a 
was on the point of starting when an impi appeared at the Umgusa, six miles ( 
Bulawayo. Gols. Spreckley and Beal immediately moved against them, 
inflicted heavy loss on the enemy. Spreckley's column then set out as orig 
intended, and the three columns swept the country of rebels. Col. Plumer stc 
and carried the stronghold of Thabas Imamba, where he made important caj: 
of prisoners, grain and cattle, and recovered a quantity of loot taken f rom mun 
settlers. 

The country was now practically free from rebels, except the Matoppo ] 
where they occupied positions which were almost impregnable. Opérations 
successfuUy initiated, but the white losses were heavy owing to the nature ol 
country. Mr. Rhodes, therefore, determined to open negotiations, going five ] 
into the hills accompanied by three unarmed men, and holding an indaba witl 
rebel chiefs. To further allay the suspicions of the natives he moved his camp, v 
was quite unprotected by any military force, to a spot close to the rebel strong 
where he remained for two months, reassuring and conferring with the natives. 
October 13 the Administrator had an officiai indaba with the Matabele chiefs, 
received their formai promises of submission. Col. Plumer's column was disba 
on the 22nd of the same month, many of its members remaining in the count] 
settlers. 

Long before the restoration of peace to Matabeleland, trouble had appeari 
Mashonaland. In June, 1896, a séries of murders similar to those in Matabel 
occurred. 

Mr. Justice Vintcent was at the hestd of affairs in Salisbury, and immedi 
organized a defence committee, and called in aU the population to laager. 

One of the fibrst events which foUowed was the stirring épisode of the rescue 
party of twelve, including three women, who gathered at the Alice Mine, in the 1 
district, twenty-seven nules from Sahsbury. In order to telegraph for assist 
two of their number heroically volimteered to go to the telegraph office. They 
successful in sending their message, but were killed in trying to regain the laager. 
receiving the telegram, Inspector Judson left Salisbury with five men, but foun< 
situation at the laager so desperate that he sent a message to Salisbuiy to say tl 
would require forty men and a Maxim to effect a rescue, as the whole Mazoe v 
was Hned with natives some 1,000 strong. Gapt. Nesbitt, who had gone out 
twelve men to reinforce Inspector Judson's patrol, received the message, and d 
mined, notwithstanding the smallness of his force, to push on. He succe< 
bringing out the party, and for this deed was rewarded with the Victoria Cr s. 
return journey was accomplished under heavy fire, ail concemed displaying ] 
courage. 

A small body of Volunteers from Natal, under Capt. Taylor, who were at Ghi 
on their way to Matabeleland, returned to Salisbury on the outbreak of hostil

-^»- 



as did Col. Beal's column of the B.H.V., which was then at Bulawayo. Thèse 
latter were accompanied by 100 men under Maj. Watts, D.A.A.6., and 76 men of 
Grey's Scouts, under Capt. White. 

Large patrols were now sent out to commence offensive opérations against the 
natives, pending the arrivai of 380 regular troops under Col. Alderson, which had 
been sent through Beira from Natal. They reached Salisbury on August 9, having 
relieved Umtali en route. Col. Alderson remained five months in the country, 
and, although much hampered by shortness of supplies, he effected the capture of the 
important chief Makoni, and attacked and defeated Matshayangombi, who may be 
said to hâve been the leader of this rébellion. 

The Impérial troops left Khodesia on November 29, 1896, but the trouble waô 
not yet over. After the rainy season Col. de Moleyns commenced vigorous opéra- 
tions with a successful attack on the Magwendi rebels, followed up by the defeat of 
Kunzi and Mashanganyika. The Mashonaland forces having been strengthened by 
a detachment of Hussars and poHce from Matabeleland, the country about Salisbury, 
Umtali and Charter was cleared of rebels, and a well organized attieick made on Mat- 
shayangombi (July 24, 1897), when the latter was shot. It was decided to be unneces- 
sary to retain the services of the Hussars after September. This date practicaUy marks 
the close of the campaign, and the police having reached their full complément, the 
volunteers were disbanded and retumed, some to their farms and others to the Tninif ig 
centres. The energetic and self-reliant conduct of the settlers during the war, and 
many instances of bravery, individual and gênerai, form a record in the history of 
the new country of which it may well be proud. 

The Chartered Company generously paid out compensation to settlers for direct 
losses incurred during the rébellion. The Compensation Courts paid out £253,500 in 
Matabeleland, and the awards in Mashonaland brought up the sum to £360,000. 



PROGRESS IN SOUTHERN RHODESIA. 

During the period occupied by the war, the attention of the Government was 
not only devoted to meeting questions of defence and transport. It was felt neces- 
sary to reorganize the Civil Service of the country and to establish it on a permanent 
basis. This work was carried out by Mr. W. H. Milton, who was transferred to Rho- 
desia from the Cape Colony Civil Service in July, 1896, as Chief Secretary to the 
Administrator (Earl Grey), whom he succeeded in July, 1897. 

The native problem was next tackled by the Company, who successfully adopted 
a System of governing the natives through the médium of native salaried indunas. 
Large reserves were set aside for the natives, amounting to 12,114 square miles in 
Matabeleland, and 26,757 square miles in Mashonaland. A period of native pros- 
perity followed, as may be gathered from the foUowing figures for 1903-4, when in 
Southern Rhodesia the natives possessed nearly 100,000 head of cattle and 416,000 
sheep and goats, while they also had over half a million acres under cultivation. 

In 1899 a Législative Council was established for Southern Rhodesia, which 



Railway Progress in Rhodesia 



now consists of the Administrator, Résident Commissioner, seven elected and 
members nominated by the Company, so as to ensure it a majority so long as it re: 
responsable for the finances of the conntry. The names of the members are 
elsewhere. 

Early in 1891 the Impérial Government extended the field of the Oomp 
opérations so as to include ^the whole of the British sphère north of the Zan 
except Nyasaland, now known as the British Central Âfrican Protectc 
Northern Rhodesia is now divided into North-Eastern and North-Westem Rhoc 
and each is under an Administrator appointed by the British South Africa Comps 



THE RHODESIAN RAILWAYS. 

Notwithstanding the natural difficulties of developing a new country, so 
and remote, the progress accomplished during the thirteen years of the histoi 
Rhodesia has been very considérable. 

Two railway Systems hâve been constructed. 

The main trunk line (3 ft. 6 in. gauge) has been continued via Mafeking n 
ward through Bechuanaland into Rhodesia. This forms part of the Cape to ( 
Railway, which was completed as far as Bulawayo in October, 1897. The fu 
construction of the line proceeded uninterruptedly, with the resuit that the Wj 
coalfields were reached on September 21, 1903, and the Victoria Falls on Apri 
1904. The whole line from Bulawayo to the Victoria Falls was opened for t 
on June 20. The river Zambesi is to be spanned by a railway bridge thrown a 
the gorge in the immédiate neighbourhood of the Victoria Falls ; construction 1 
carried on from both ends. The materials are already on the spot, and the foi 
tions hâve been laid in the solid rock that flanks the river on both sides. The 
struction of a further 100 miles of line north of the Zambesi is being proceeded ' 
having as its immédiate objective KaJomo, the présent seat of the Administrât^ 
North-Westem Rhodesia, and arrangements are being made for the extension o 
line to the mining districts of the Eaiue, and thence to the Rhodesia Broken Hîll ] 

A branch Ime, leaving the main line at Heany Junction, seventeen miles i 
of Bulawayo, for the Gwauda district, has been opened for traffîc as far as Gw 
Township, seventy-four miles from the Junction. A further twenty-nine miles, 
practicaUy fînished, will complète this branch line. Other Unes completed ar< 
Gwelo to Selukwe, twenty-two miles long, opened in August, 1903 ; and the i 
line to the Matoppos, built by the trustées of the late l^br. Rhodes, and open< 
November, 1903. There are still further Unes which hâve been decided upon b^ 
directors of railway enterprises in Rhodesia, amongst which may be mentionec 
extension of the Gwelo Une past Selukwe to the Victoria district. 

The East Coast line, originaUy a light railway from Beira to Umtali, was o 
in February, 1898, and was widened to the 3 ft. 6 in. gauge in August, 1900, in < 
to complète a uniform line between Salisbury and the coast, a 3 ft. 6 in. Une 1 
already been opened between Salisbury and UmtaU in May, 1899. 



204 Anglo-African Who's Who 

In addition to thèse Unes a 3 ft. 6 in. line bas been constructed from Umtali to 
Owelo to meet a line 100 miles long from Bulawayo, a continuons overland route 
being tbus established between Beira and Cape Town. Of this line, 2,000 miles long, 
the construction of over 1,400 is directly due to the British South Africa Company. 



THE VICTORIA PALLS. 

THB OBEAT POWEB SOHEBfE. 

In the current year, as has been stated, the Victoria Falls bave been reached by 
the Cape-to-Cairo Railway. That f act is fraught with vast possibilitîes for Rhodesian 
enterprise. That railway is already stimulating the development of Bhodesia, and 
the transformation now quickly coming to pass is one of the most impressive in the 
history of colonization. In the near future, however, there looms the most momentous 
achievement of ail — ^namely, the hamessing of the Victoria Falls. When that c^nes 
to pass — hastened by the facilities which the railway can already afford — ^it will be 
possible to proceed with the biggest enterprise the world is ever likely to see in the 
way of power génération and transmission. The Victoria Falls are about two and a- 
hafi times as high as those of Niagara, and they are approximately twioe as wide. 
If, therefore, Niagara power transmission be revolutionizing industrial development 
in America, the proportionately greater importance of the Victoria Falls to the future 
of South Africa is obvions. English newspaper readers bave, by this time, gained 
some inkling of the project ; but it is safe to say that comparatively few quite 
reahze its import to South Africa, and, perhaps, to the Empire. Indeed, it seems 
necessary to dispel mis-apprehension on the subject. It has been argued that the 
success of the Niagara enterprise is no guarantee of like success for the Victoria Falls 
scheme, inasmuch as the former serves old-estabhshed industrial centres in the United 
States and Canada, whereas the hamessing of the latter looks like being in advance 
of population. 

It is true that old centres like Buffalo are being served with power transmitted 
from Niagara, but it is equally certain that new local development has been encouraged 
in the course of a few years by the Niagara Falls opération, which has already brought 
together a population of half a million — ^a population which is reasonably expected 
to be doubled before long. The natural inference is that wherever abundaiice of 
electrical power is available and cheap, capital and population are bound to be 
attracted. Indeed, if the Victoria FaUs be hamessed in advance of local settlement 
it may be a positive advantage, for, in that case, îndustry will be adopted from the 
first to the most modem conditions, and costly complications will be avoided. It 
needs to be pointed out also that scientific and mechanical skill has made very great 
progress since the hamessing of Niagara, so that very much more remarkable résulta 
are now practicable than were deemed possible in the infancy of electrical power trans- 
mission. This is a highly important considération, for even prior to the growth of 
industrial communities, there is adjacent to the Victoria Falls an assured demand for 
power within the enlarged radius of up-to-date transmission. Within that radius are 



The Robert Williams Group 



some of the finest minerai areas of Bhodesîa and the township o£ Bulawayo, w 
the power may be used for the needâ of tramways, electric lighting, telegra 
téléphones and a number of local industries. It is also anticipated that the raili 
for a considérable distance on each side of the Zambesi may be most cheaply wo 
with electricity from the Falls. 

Far, therefore, from oflFering vague promise in the remote future, the ham 
of the Victoria Falls looks like being an assured success from the start. An 
years to come, when industrial cities spring up north and south of the présent towB 
at the Falls, the fruits of the undertaking may be colossal. It was stated rece 
by Sir Charles Metcalfe, at a meeting of the Rhodesian Railways, that Messrs. The 
Gook and Sons hâve already estabhshed a tour to South Âfrica, including a jou 
to the Victoria Falls. AU things considered, it is not surprising that the schen 
one having a peculiar fascination for men of large prévision like the late Mr. ( 
Rhodes, and that engineers and other practical men hâve become enthusiastic i 
their interest was aroused. 

Ever since the scheme commended itself to expert judgment, the British S 
Africa Company has been keenly interested, and is represented in the manager 
of the African Concessions Syndicate. That syndicate holds the sole concessior

seem to imply a huge monopoly of a natural boon to civilization, but the pionee: 
such an enterprise as the one under considération deserve gênerons treatment. 
original syndicate was an amalgamation, at the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes' suggestioi 
two propositions, namely, those of the Africa Trust, Limited, of London, and of 
H. B. Marshall, of Johannesburg. Under the auspices of Mr. Rhodes, the small ca; 
of the syndicate was doubled ; and the new issue taken by the Chartered Comp 
whose Directors having already done so much for Rhodesia, naturally désire to 
where they hâve sown, and to share in the great benefits which are expected to ac 
from the exploitation of Victoria Falls. The Africa Trust participation at a ] 
stage was acquired by the Rand-Rhodesia Trust and General Exploration Com 
Ltd. The financial position of the African Concessions Syndicate is exceeai 
strong, its unissued capital and readily jrealizable investments representing ne 
f our-fif ths of the authorized capital of the Syndicate. 



THE ROBERT WILLLVMS GROUP. 

North of the Zambesi there is practically only one groupsystematicallydevelo 
the country. This group includes the Tanganyika Concessions, Limited ; the 2 
besia Ëxploring Company, Limited ; and the Katanga Railway Company ; while 
country coming under the sphère of opérations of the group spreads firom Lobito 
on the west coast to Lake Tanganyika far away in the east. It is mainly due to 
initiative and enterprise of Mr. Robert Williams, the Managing Director of the ab 
named Companies, that this huge tract has been thrown open to the pioneer 
civilization. 



266 Anglo-African Who's Who 



The Katanga Railway Company, in which the Tanganyika Concessions Company 
bas an interest of two-fifths, is a concession obtained somo time ago by Mr. WilliainB 
in Bnissels for the porpose of surveying a railway in the neighbourhood of the mines 
of Katanga, in order to make connection with other lines now constructed or in course 
of construction. A survey party bas been sent out with the object of findîng ont 
which is the best route to f oÛow so as to détermine the best means of communication 
with the coast. Satisfactory arrangements bave been made for the conmiencement 
of the Lobito Bay Railway, and it is expected that a start will be made early in 
November, 1904. Men are already at work at Lobito Bay erecting the bridge over 
the Catumbella River, which bas been sent out from England, and it is expected Uiat 
this bridge, which is 219 feet in length, 25 feet high, and 18 feet wide, wïSl be open 
for traffîc before the end of 1904. There is little doubt that this line when completed 
will, besides developing local trade, absorb a large proportion of the carrying traffîc 
to and from Northern, and possibly Southern, Rhodesia, the distances to be saved 
both by sea and land being very considérable. 

The last Directors' Report of the Tanganyika Concessions states that prospecting 
is being actively carried on in the area of the Congo and Benguella Concessions, with 
the object of proving the existence of minerais in the countries in which the Company 
hâve rights. Several important discoveries bave been made, and although the work 
done is small, in comparison with the vast extent of territory involved, exploration 
bas revealed such a variety of minerai resources as to place the success of Tanganyika 
Concessions beyond doubt. In the Ruwe Mine, for instance, the further testing of 
which for some months past bas given very f avourable results, although the testing 
is being done by the somewhat primitive System of treating the ore by means of sluiœ 
boxes, the opérations resuit in a large profit each month, and indicates that, worked 
on an appropriate scale and with modem appliances, the mine would make a handsome 
retum to the shareholders. The output of gold from the sluice up to date was 2,030 
ozs., and an endeavour was being made to increase the présent monthly retums. The 
expense of carrying on this work by présent methods was only about £250. This 
cannot be considered otherwise than satisfactory, when it is stated that the output 
from the sluice boxes alone for August, 1904, was 512 ozs., which will be materially 
augmented when the amount recovered by amalgamation is made known. The output 
for July, including the amount recovered by amalgamation, was 544 ozs. Thèse 
returns suffice to show that, even were the expenses doubled, the Ruwe Mine is yielding 
a handsome profit. Mr. George R. Adams, the company's résident engineer in the 
Congo Free State, reports that the shafts, drifts, and cross-cuts on the mine bave 
developed a large reef of ore, showing ail through, for a distance of 1,200 ft. along its 
strike, some values in platinum, gold, and silver. Above the water level there is 
estimated to be 102,143 tons of ore, the body of ore so far developed being 1,200 ft. 
long and 150 ft. deep, with an average width of 8 ft., a width which augurs well for 
économie working. 

Similar good progress bas been made in the work of opening the company's copper 
mines, and the reports from the properties continue to point to the enormous wealth 
contained in thèse areas. During the year over 3,000 ft. of underground work bas 
been carried out, and since the date of the last report a considérable amount of work 



The Transvaal Gold Mining Groups 



has been done on the properties situated west of the Lualaba River. The engii 
estimâtes the practically proved tonnage of ore above the depths attained in the th 
mines (Dikurwe, Musonoi, and Kolwazi) to be nearly one and a-haJf million tons, 
average value of which, according to the assays, is about 13 per cent, copper. 

The discovery of tin in the Busanga mine is an important one, both as rega 
the value of the métal itself and the f aciHties for mining it, as well as for the f act tl 
it extends over a large area. Mr. George Grey, the company's manager in Afri» 
reports : " The discoveries of tin are of great interest, and I consider of great probal 
value. The existence of stream tin and cassiterite in quartz reefs is now proved 
intervais for a distance of fifty miles." Mr. Adams estimâtes that 9,324 tons 
cassiterite in the area would give a value of 6,920 tons of tin, with a value of £781,44 
To demonstrate the réduction of the ore Mi. Adams satisfactorily smelted a smt 
bar, which he forwarded to London. This was sent to a firm of métal brokers 
standing, who hâve examined it, and they state that they find the métal to be of vei 
good quality, and consider it equal to " Straits " tin. 

THE TRANSVAAL GOLD MINING GROUPS. 

Most people are aware that the control of the mining industry of the Transvaal : 
for the most part centred in varions inâuential financial firms who are chiefly intereete* 
in South Africa, and who hold enormous blocks of shares in, and direct the manage 
ment of, groups of companies with which they are identified. There are certain com 
panies that do not oome within the influence of either of the groups. Thèse are few h 
number, but for ail practical piu*poses the Transvaal gold mining industry may be saie 
to be controlled by a dozen of the leading financial houses. The greatest of thèse is th( 
firm of Wemher, Beit and Co., with which are associated the firm of Messrs. H, Eck- 
stein and Go. and the Rand Mines, Limited. Then come the Consolidated Gold Fields 
of South Africa ; Messrs. Farrar Bros, and the Anglo-French Exploration Company ; 
Mr. J. B. Robinson ; General Mining and Finance Corporation (Messrs. G. and L. Albu) ; 
Messrs. A. Goerz and Co., Limited ; the Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Com- 
pany (Messrs. Bamato Bros.) ; Messrs. S. Neumann and Co. ; Messrs. Lewis and Marks ; 
and the Transvaal Goldfields, Limited. According to an estimate carefuUy compiled 
recentlyby** The African World" — a journal to which the public is constantly indebted 
for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the African continent, and to which 
we are particularly indebted for much détail in the f oUowing articles — ^these firms are 
responsible for a capital expenditure on the Rand alone of a sum considerably in ezcess 
of £30,000,000, and the estimated capital expenditure for projected development 
during the next ten years is put down at not less than £60,423,000, of which £13,000,000, 
it is calculated, will be spent by the Consolidated Gold Fields, £7,700,000 by the 
Robinson group, £6,960,000 by H. Eckstein and Co., £4,900,000 by A. Goerz and Co., 
Limited, £4,040,000 by the General Mining and Finance Corporation, £3,955,(XK) by 
the Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Company, £3,460,000 by S. Neumann 
and Oo., £3,283,000 by Farrar Bros, and Anglo-French Exploration, and £2,680,000 by the 
Rand Mines, Limited. It may, therefore, be taken for granted that when the Band 



268 Anglo-African Who's Who 

is once more working under normal conditions there wiU be such a period of activity 
as was never before known there, and, seeing the developments that are taking place 
east and west on the extension of the Main Beef séries, and north and south on what 
is generally believed to be the Rand formation, it is safe to predict that, instead of 
£60,000,000 being spent on development during the next décade, there is likely to be 
an expenditure of more than double that sum. Although the rate of recovery made 
by the mining industry has been necessarily slow, the value of the gold output for the 
whole of the Transvaal has steadily increased since the war until it reached in Augost, 
1904, a total value for the month of £1,326,468, the total for the eight months up to the 
end of August, 1904, being considerably over ten and a-quarter millions sterling. 



THE WERNHER-BEIT GROUP. 

Foremost among the Transvaal financial houses is that of Messrs. Wemher, Beit 
and Co., with whom are associated the well-known ôrm of H. Eckstein and Go., and the 
Rand Mines, Limited. This powerful combination has unquestionably done more 
than any other to open up the resources of the Rand, especially the deep-level areas, 
and it has enormous interests in other properties the development of which wiU be pro- 
ceeded with whenever the conditions are favourable. This group includes a considér- 
able number of important Rand outcrop mines, but their deep-level holdings are by 
far the most important. The parent company of the producing deep-levels belonging 
to the Wemher-Beit group is the Rand Mines, Limited, which has numerous sub- 
sidiary companies in which its share holdings are enormous, ranging from 20% to 80%. 
Thèse subsidiary companies are the Glen Deep, Ltd., Rose Deep, Ltd., Geldenhuis 
Deep, Ltd., Jumpers Deep, Ltd., Nourse Deep, Ltd., South Nourse, Ltd., Ferreira 
Deep, Ltd., Crown Deep, Ltd., Langlaagte Deep, Ltd., Durban Roodepoort G.M., Ltd., 
South Rand G.M. Co., Ltd., Simmer and Jack West, Ltd., Wolhuter G.M., Ltd., 
Wolhuter Deep, Ltd., City Deep, Ltd., Village Main Reef G.M. Co., Ltd., Village Deep, 
Ltd., Robinson Central Deep, Ltd., Paarl Central, G.M. and Exploration Co., Ltd. 



THE J. B. ROBINSON GROUP. 

The group of companies with which Mr. J. B. Robinson is so prominently identified 
ia probably the largest individual control on the Rand. Some of the larger groups 
associated with the mining industry of the Transvaal, although nominally under the 
control of one firm or corporation, are really subject to a combination of influences, 
whereas the Robinson group stands alone, there being no divided interests in the man- 
agement of the various companies included in it. Of the several companies comprising 
the group, it may be stated without fear of contradiction, so far as those that are pro- 
ducing and developing are concemed, that their prospects are exceedingly bright, 
and promise well from a shareholder's point of view. TÎie management is of the best, 
the producing mines are equipped with up-to-date machinery and plant, and the assay 



The Consolidated Gold Fields Group 



values of the ore that is being mined and developed are above the average of the Ba 
To Mr. J. B. Robinson, together with the late Mr. Herman Eckstein, is due the cre 
of having laid the solid f oundations of that vast and truly Impérial asset known as 
Band mining industry of the Transvaal. From the days in 1886, when Mr. Bobina 
prophetically named the first stone-built résidence in Johannesburg ''Langlaai 
Restante," until now, he has stood, with indomitable trust in the future, at the he 
of his enormous mining and financial ventures as one of the old '' pilots of the Ranc 
whose name will live in the history of the greatest goldfields the world has knoT^ 
Mr. J. W. S. Langerman is Mr. Robinson's principal représentative in South Afric 
and associated with him are Messrs. J. Watson, R. Lilienfield, Jas. Ferguson and F. 
Tudhope. The principal companies controlled by this group are the Langlaagte Estai 
the Randfontein Estâtes, the Block " B " Langlaagte Estate, the Block " A " Ran 
fontein, the Mynpacht Randfontein, West Randfontein, East Randfontein, Fergusc 
Randfontein, Van Hulsteyn Randfontein, Johnstone Randfontein, South Randfonteii 
North RancUontein, Robinson Randfontein, and Porges Randfontein Gold Minic 
Companies ; the Robinson South Af rican Bank, the Orange Free State and Transvai 
Diamond Mines, and the Langlaate Exploration and Building Company, Ltd. Whe 
it is remembered that the total nominal capital of the above companies is well ove 
twelve millions sterling, some idea of the enormous extent of Mr. Robinson's interest 
in South Africa alone may be obtained. 



THE CONSOLIDATED GOLD FIELDS GROUP. 

The Consolidated Gold Fields of South Africa, whose destinies are presided ovei 
by Lord Harris, controls one of the biggest groups'of companies on the Rand. Its 
chief claim holdings and share interests are confined to the central section of the Rand, 
where it has very extensive claim areas, or controls the companies which hâve been 
formed for the purpose of working them, and other important interests are 
held on the West Rsmd and in the Nigel district. The Gold Fields combination is 
a most influential one, and when the whole of its deep-level ground has been developed, 
and ail its companies hâve reached the producing stage, it will, if possible, be a much 
more important factor in connection with the exploitation of Rand rniping industry 
than it now is. Like ail the other groups operating in the Transvaal, the Consolidated 
Gold Fields has sufiEered very severely owing to the scarcity of unskilled labour for the 
mines. 

Amongst those who are mainly conoemed in the direction of this group may be 
mentioned Messrs. E. S. Birkenruth, S. Christopherson, H. W. H. Dunsmure, J. J. 
Hamilton, Leigh Hoskyns, R. G. Fricker-, Col. Ed. Frewen and Major H. L. Sapte. 
Mr. H. H. Webb is their consulting engineer, and the permanent engineering staff 
includes Mr. H. C. Behr and Dr. G. S. Corstorphine. The chief companies in the group 
are the Simmer and Jack Proprietaiy, Robinson Deep, Knights Deep» Central Nigel 
Deep,Luipaard's Vlei Deep, Nigel Deep, Rand Mines Deep, Robinson Deep, Rand Victoria 
Mines, Rand Victoria East, Simmer and Jack East, South Geldenhuis Deep, South 



270 Anglo-Africax Who's Who 



Kosc'^Deop, 8ub-Nigel, Simnier and Jack West, Jupiter, Knights Deep, and TorflEontein 
Ëstate, Ltd., and when it is remembered that the dividends estimated to aoome 
to^'the Consolidated (joldfields on its share holdings in the thiee oompamesfirat named 
should amount to some £400,000 per annum, when normal times arrive, some idea of the 
magnitude of the share assets of the Consolidated Goldfields may be arrived at.'« The 
Company has also a considérable number of claims along the main leef, mainly on the 
central and eastern sections. 



THE BARNATO GROUP. 

Tlie group of companies under the control of the house of Bamato is very longe, 
and includes several powerful concerns, some of which are producing gold and eaming 
considérable profits, while others that hâve not yet reached that much-desired goal 
are possessed of great potentialities. The firm of Bamato Brothers wields a jxiweiful 
influence on the Rand, where it has vast holdings and interests ; and, in the future, 
besides maintaining the efficiency of the properties under its control on the developed 
portion of the Main Reef , it seems destined to take a leading part in opening up what 
may be described as another Rand on the long Une of country in which the Goronation 
Syndicate — one of the firm's créations — ^is operating. 

The most prominent members of the Bamato group are Messrs. S. B. Joël, J. Joël, 
Henry Bamato, Cari Hanau, H. S. Caldecott, H. A. Rogers, J. A. Hamilton, Harold F. 
Strange, E. B. Gardiner and Thomas Honey, whilst the companies which corne under 
their direction are the Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Co., Bamato Consolidated 
Mines, Consolidated Langlaagte Mines, Balmoral Main Reef, Buffelsdoom " A *' OJkf . 
Co., Buffelsdoorn Esta te, Coronation Syndicate, Rand Central Gold Mines, Ginsberg, 
Glencaim Main Reef, New Primrose, New Rietfontein, New Unified Main Reef, Rand- 
fontein Deep, Rietfontein " A," Rietfontein " B," South Cinderella Deep, and Roode- 
poort G.M. Co.'s, the Johannesburg Waterworks, Estate and Exploration Co., and the 
Johannesburg Estate Co., Ltd. 

AU things considered, the Johannesburg ConsoUdated Investment Company, 
Limited, is doing remarkably weU, and Mr. Hanau, who took the chair at the last meeting 
held at Johannesburg, presented a highly encouraging statement for the financial year 
ended June 30, 1903. He stated that the reserve remained at £1,000,000, the total 
iadebtedness amounted to £946,000, cash in hand loans £1,074,000, and stocks and shares 
£3,000,000. The total assets of the company amounted to £6,310,000, and Mr. Hanau 
remarked that, according to his own personal valuation, they were over £10,000,000. 
Investments in real estate amounted to £591,414, the Johannesburg properties being 
worth £284,000, with an annual rent roU of £34,800. An imposing block of new offices 
was being built, a view of which is given on another page ; and the Carlton Hôtel, 
which^would be one of the finest structures in the country, was making progress. This 
demonstrated the board's confidence in the future of the municipaUty. Mr. Hanau 
went on to say that the estimated value of the company's suburban properties was 
1,100,000. He gave a glowing description of the condition of the company's gold

the Leeuwpoort. The Delagoa Bay Lands Syndicate's title had been settle 
owing to the authorities' libéral policy , the town must progress rapidly . The Jo 
burg Waterworks Gompany's financial position was satisfactory. The com] 
paid 10 per cent, dividend, and would continue to pay good dividende. The ne 
of the GonsoUdated Company for the year amounted to £278,316, and the crédit 
carried forward at the close of the year amounted to £666,470, ont of which a c 
of 10 per cent, had been recommended and confirmed. Âfter the payment 
dividend, the amount carried forward was £394,480, which was equal to anc 
per cent. 



SIR GEORGE FARRAR'S GROUP, 

What is known as the Farrar Group — ^that is, the large aggregation of co: 
with which Sir George Farrar, D.S.O., and his brother, Mr. Sidney H. Farrar, i 
nected — ^is one of the most powerful and important on the Rand. Sir Georg 
of the best trusted and most highly respected men in South Africa, and it is fre 
of him that imder conceivable circumstances — ^if a great change or govemmei 
heaval in South Africa should ever come about — ^he would most likely be cl 
tlie first Président of the United States of South Africa. The opérations of th< 
group are mainly confined to the East Rand, chiefly in the district of which tl 
of Boksburg is the centre, and it has done more to exploit and develop that se 
the Witwatersrand goldfields than any other corporation. The principal und< 
of the group is the East Rand Proprietary Mines, Limited, with the fortunes c 
Sir George Farrar and Mr. Sidney Farrar hâve been prominently identified 1 
inoeption, and it is to their administrative ability and untiring energy that the ei 
success of the Company and its numerous subsidiaries is largely due. The pr 
companies of the East Rand Proprietary Mines contain ore of higher value t 
average for the Rand, and the whole of this corporation's subsidiaries are so '\ 
out and developed that, under normal conditions, they cannot fail to yield large 

The companies controUed, or partly controUed, by the group are the ]>ri<

THE LEWIS AND MARKS GROUP, 

The old-established and well-known Southf African firm of Messrs. Ia 
Marks, of Threadneedle House, Bishopsgate Street, Within, London, has E> 
means of founding several prosperous inmistries in the Transvaal, and has mi 



272 Anglo-African Who's Who 



aiisistod in developing the varioiu resources of that colony. To-day MeBsrs. Lewk 
and Markâ arc as active as cver in exploiting the unbounded resources of the Transvaal, 
including mining and agriculture, and they are also building up several important 
industries, which are none the less necessary because they hâve none of the glamom 
of gold-seekingaboutthem. Tlirough the group of companies with virhich they are asso- 
ciated Messrs. Lewis and Marks control enormous land and mining interests, and a 
prosperous Transvaal will bring them and their co-shareholders profits such as are littje 
dreanit of to-day. There is haxdly any interest or branch of industry in the Transvaal 
that can hâve prosperity without some measure of it f alling to the lot of Messrs. Lewis 
and Marks' group, and this fact, taken in conjunction with the recently disolosed 
possibilities of the firmes holdings on the eastern extension of the Rand, augurs well for 
the future of this comprehensive combination. This i9, without doubt, one of the best 
of the groupe operating in the Transvaal, and when the unfavourable labour conditions 
hâve passed away from the Rand, great progress will be made with the miping portion 
of its holdings, and the interests and influence of Messrs. Lewis and Marks will be oon- 
t<iderably extended. 

The property with which Messrs. Lewis and Marks are prominently identified, 
which is engaging the greatest attention at présent, is that of the East Rand Mining 
Estâtes, Limited, which has a very large holding on the eastern extension on the Main 
Reef , including the f arms Grootvlei and Palmietkuil, situated east of Geduld and soutfa 
of Welgedacht, and which is taking a leading part in proving the continuation of the 
Main I^f séries eastwards, and the results it has so far achieved lead to the conolusioii 
that it will eventually develop into a huge undertaking and the parent of many flouriahing 
subsidiary companies. 

The Vereeniging Estâtes is an undertaking of vast extent, of great potentialities, 
and one that is full of promise. There are on the company's estâtes valuable coUieries, 
the coal in which it is well-nigh impossible to estimate ; a récent geological survey has 
revealed possibilities in regard to the existence of other minerais and metals idiich 
cannot fail to hâve an important bearing on the future of this great enterprise, and the 
farming and kindred opérations, to say nothing of the company's interest in the town- 
ship of Vereeniging, amounting to over three-fourths of the erven, are no mean sources 
of revenue. With regard to the coal mines, the New Comelia and the Central are well 
developed, and are producing satisfactorily. 

Coming to the question of the possible existence on the Vereeniging Estâtes of 
other minerais and metals, it must be conceded that the geological survey, made some 
time ago by Dr. Hatch, has yielded important results. This survey was carried ont 
most carefully by the eminent geologist referred to, and it may be gathered therefrom 
that the value of several of the company's farms, and notably Schaapplaats, is likely 
to be very considerably enhanced. Without going into détails, it may be stated that 
there are several other profitable industries carried on by the Vereeniging Estâtes, 
and that the position and prospects of the company are unquestionably of the brightest 
description. Another big coal undertaking with which Messrs. Lewis and Marks are 
associated is the Great Eastern Collieries. 

Of the landed interests with which Messrs. Lewis and Marks are mainly identified 
we must ref er to the Transvaal Estâtes and Development, which owns about 2,000,000 



The Goerz Group 



Acres of land, twenty-three mining claims, stands and buildings in Johannesburg, 
various investments. Messrs. Lewis and Maxks, together with Messrs. Bamato Brotl 
John Ballott and others,are greatly interested in the coal mining industry of the Be! 
Carolina districts on the main raihx>ad to Delagoa, in the development of which 
their enterprising firm is tating a premier place. The Great Sheba Mine, the pioi 
gold-producer of the De Kaap-Barberton fields, along with other local proper 
is under the control of the Threadneedle House financiers, whose industrial and mi 
ramifications literally extend from the Cape to Central Africa. 



THE NEUMANN GROUP. 

Outside those who are intimately acquainted with the subject, perhaps the 
part played by the firm of Messrs.|S. Neumann and Co., in the development of the x 
vaal gold mining industry, is not generally recognized. Almost from the early dajra 
firm of Neumann and Co., in which Messrs. H. J. King and 0. S. Goldmann until rece: 
played a prominent part as partners, has been largely interested in the Rand, and 
materially aided in the exploitation of the world-famous goldfield ; but of late years 
firm's holdings hâve been enormously increased, with the resuit that to-day it ocou 
an influential position in the ranks of the powerful financial groups whose names 
synonymous with Rand development and progress. The more important of the î 
mann group of producing companies include the Treasury Gold Mines, a steady divid 
payer, which has done, and is still doing, wellfor its shareholders ; the Wolhuter ( 
Mines, which, after experiencing a number of vicissitudes, appears to be on the th 
hold'of a period of regular profit-eaming ; the New Modderfontein, which has exoel 
prospects, and to which belongs the distinction of possessing a larger claim area t 
any other purely mining Company on the Rand ; the ConsoUdated Main Reef Mines 
Estate, which will, when normal conditions hâve been restored to the mining indus 
reward the shareholders for the patience they hâve exhibited under tr3rîng cire 
stances ; and the Witwatersrand Deep, which is eaming profits and appears to ha^ 
bright future before it. Among the developing mines of the group, Knight CeB 
and Driefontein Deep are splendid properties ; whilst the African Parms, Limited, 
Oloverfield Mines, Limited, hâve excellent prospects. 



THE GOERZ GROUP. 

The group of companies associated with A. Gk)erz and Co., Limited, which the^ 
Mr. Adolf Goerz successfuUy founded and established on a sound basis, includes sev 
well-known and very profitable mining undertakings, as well as a number of mines 
in the developing stage, and extensive properties on the East and West Rand, 
possibilities of which, owing to their contiguity to proved areas, are enormons. 
controlling company of the group is A. Goerz and Go., Limited, whioh has done an 
still doing an immense amoimt of work in extending our knowledge of , and develojp 



274 Axglo-African Who's Who 



neglected sections of the Kand, and which has been the means of adding veiy consider- 
ably to the workable areas of that celebrated goldfield. 

Messrs. A. Goerz and Co.» Limited, of which Messrs. Amandus Brakhan and 
Henry Strakosch are the managing directors, has an issued capital of £1^25,000, and 
large share interests in the oompanies included in the Goerz Group, and holdinm in 
inany other concems. At the end of 1903, the companyheld 612 claims, most of âiem 
being well-situated deep-level blocks in the western district of the Rand, and its land 
liokUngs consisted of 7,480 acres of unproclaimed deep-level ground in the Western 
and Eastem Rand districts, including the western half of the f arm Witpoort, upon which 
five bore-holes hâve eut the main reef. There are abo other important interests cm 
the Rand. 

Other well known companies in the group are the Geduld Proprietary Minée, 
Lancaster West, May Consolidated, Roodepoort Central Deep, Tudor, Modderfontein 
Deep, Princess Estate, and Lancaster Gold Mining Companies, the Klerksdorp Explora- 
tion Land and Estate Co., and the Rand Central Electric Works, Limited. 



HENDERSON'S TRANSVAAL ESTATES. 

The enormous interests and holdings of Henderson's Transvaal Estâtes, Limited, in 
the Transvaal and other parts of South Africa, place it in the front rank of land and 
mining corporations in that country. Henderson's Transvaal Estâtes, besides carryin^ 
on opérations on some of its own properties in varions parts of the Transvaal for the 
purpose of proving the existence of and developing gold or other ore bodies, contrôla 
several companies, and, generally speaking, as far as présent conditions will idlow, it is 
doing its share to advance the material interests of the country. The capital of the 
Company is £2,000,000, and the directors include Messrs. J. C. A. Henderson (chairman), 
W. Bryson Butler (gênerai manager), Alfred Gaussen, E. J. Halsey, Geo. Lawson 
Johnston, and Roger C. Richards. The local committee at Johannesburg is composed 
of Messrs. T. W. G. Moir, Emrys Evans, C.M.G., Samuel Thomson, G. W. Cooke, and 
William Pott. 

The companies under the control of Henderson's Transvaal Estâtes are : Con- 
solidated South Rand Mines Deep, Limited ; Daggafontein Gold Mining Q)., Limited ; 
Tyne Valley Colliery, Limited ; and the Delagoa Bay Development Corporation, 
Limited. 



THE ALBU GROUP. 

What are known as the Albu Group of companies, under the control of the General 
Mining and Finance Corporation, Limited, which was founded by Messrs. George and 
Leopold Albu, the managing directors, form one of the most progressive combinations 
operating on the Rand. The group, as a whole, is managed on up-to-date lines, and a 
feature in the working of the mines is the introduction of labour-saving and other 



The Ehrlich-Hamilton Group 



appliances, with a view to economizing expenditure. That the controlling com] 
the General Mining and Finance Corporation, is well managed is évident fron 
success which has hitherto attended its opérations. In addition to the General M 
and Finance Corporation, the group consiste of the Meyer and Charlton, Roodej 
United Main Reef, New Goch, Cinderella Deep, Van Ryn, Aurora West, New S 
Estate, West Rand Mines, Sacke Estâtes, Violet Consolidated, and the Midas 
Estate G.M. Co., Limited. 

MESSRS. OOHS BROTHERS' INTERESTS. 

There are very few firms who are identified with a greater variety of , or with n 
substantial, interests in Africa than are the well-known financiers* of Cléments Lt 
London, E.C., and of Paris. The firm, consisting of Mr. Albert Lionel Ochs, Mr. T. 
Dalglish, and Mr. Louis Ochs, has interests, of one description or another, in ey 
quarter of Africa, and it would be impossible for prosperity to come to any part of tl 
continent without benefiting one or other of the important enterprises in which tl 
are engaged. This will in a measure indicate how far-reaching is the firm's influei 
in the development of Africa, but it will, perhaps, be more reacSly understood when 
State that Messrs. Ochs Brothers are largely identified with the Mozambique Compai 
which, under a Portuguese Royal Charter, is goveming and developing a vast territo 
in East Africa, and that they are interested in the Oceana ConsoQdated, New Afrdcj 
Company, New Egyptian Company, the International Ethiopian Railway Trust ai 
Construction Company (which has undertaken important railway work in connectic 
with the opening up of Abyssinia), the Soudan Development and Exploration Compan; 
the London and South African Agency Limited, the Van Ryn Gold Mines, and tl 
Welgedacht Exploration Company, Limited. As thèse companies, with one or tw 
exceptions, are associated with each other, their interests are practically identical, an« 
it requires but very little perception to enable one to realize that such a powerful com 
bination must exercise a great influence in the development of Africa. 

THE EHRLICH-HAMILTON GROUP. 

Although one of the youngest of the financial firms whose opérations are chiefly 
connected with the South African mining industry, Messrs. L. Ehrlich and F. H. Hamil- 
ton hâve associated themselves with an important group of companies, many of which 
are under their direction and control. This firm first came into prominence through 
the H. E. Proprietary, Limited, a company brought out under its auspices for the 
purpose of acquiring and developing several blocks of claims on the Murohison Range 
gold belt in the Northern Transvaal. In ail, the company has over 1,600 claims in 
blocks of varying sizes, and extending over about sixty miles. On some of thèse 
blocks shafts hâve been sunk, and thé e^pstence of a séries of well-defined reefs has been 
established for a distance of forty miles. Other companies coming within the scope 
of this group are the Piggs Peak Development Co., the Frank Smith Diamond Co.» 
the East Rand Deep, and luie Midaa Deep. 



2y(i Axglo-African Who's Who 



TRANSVAAL EXPLORING COMPANY. 

• 

The chief properties of the Transvaal Exploring Land and Minerais Company axe 
tlie proclaimod gold farm Tweefontein in the Heidelberg district, producing a consider- 
ablo income from licenses ; gold farm, Eersteling, in the Pietersburg district ; Excelsîor 
Goal propcrty, Middelburg ; Southern Rand Mynpachts ; Barberton Gold properties ; 
and extonsivc areas in the Garolina, Potche&troom, Bloemhof , Lichtenburg, Lydenburg 
and other districts. It also holds nearly 40 per cent, of the capitcd of the West Rand 
Central Mine, which is making large profits, and building stands in Johannesburg pro» 
ducing rcgular revenue. Thèse properties comprise gold, coal, diamond, and laïkled 
interests in ail the districts of repute in the Transvaal of to-day, from Ventersdorp in 
tlie west to Ermelo in the east, and from " Tweefontein " on the Une of the GoronatiOD 
Reef to " Eersteling ** in the northem gold-zone, where in thèse days the " big houaes " 
are incrensingly in évidence. 

The resuit of sound judgmcnt in a long prooess of acquisition, and of very considér- 
able f oresiglit in the matter of land-futures, the Transvaal Exploring Company of to-day 
makes substantial testimony to the pluck, tenacity of purpose, and consistent faith of 
Mr. Henry Samuel, the managing director of the company and the moving spirit in its 
affairs.^Himself a poineer of the Rand, who saw Johannesburg's first beginning^ ère 
its name was inscribed in the Book of Gold, or even on maps of the period, and who " in 
the early da3rs '* had not a little to do with the big propositions which form the basis of 
the great and représentative concems on the Rand of to-day, Mr. Samuel has ever been 
among the few who, possessing the habit of the " long view," saw a future for South 
African land, and who also insisted and predicted that the " outside districts " or 
" remoter rands " would, ail in good time, come to the front and contribute substantiaUy 
to the country's gold-yield as conditions became more favourable. 



TRANSVAAL GOLD FIELDS, LIMITED. 

The success which has been achieved by the Transvaal Gold Fields, Limited, is 
admittedly due to the unremitting attention which Mr. Julius Berlein and Mr. W. 
Dettelbach, the managing directors, dévote to its business. The company's jHÎncipal 
holdings are in the Transvaal and Delagoa Bay Investment Company, Limited, the 
Windsor Gold Mines, Limited, on whose property a large amount of development work 
has been done, the ore assays giving every promise of good results being achieved ; the 
West Rand Mines, Limited, the Tudor Grold Mining Company, the Roodepoort Gold 
Mining Company (446 claims), and the Pretoria Tramway Company. In addition, the 
Company owns f arms and options on farms in différent parts of the Transvaal, and has 
interests in mining claims, ail of which will at the earliest opportunity be tumed to 
profitable account. 



The Western Rand Estâtes, Limited 



THE WESTERN RAND ESTATES, LBIITED. 

A Company which bas done, and is still doin^, important work in provi 
continuation of the Main Reef, or Randfontein séries, in the extrême western i 
of the Witwatersrand Goldfields in the Western Rand Estâtes. This company o 
inception largely to the energy of Mi*. D. J. Pullinger, the pioneer of the district, w 
thrown himself so thoroughly into the work of proving the western extension 
Main Reef on the properties belonging to the Western Rand Estâtes, that loca 
Johannesburg and elsewhere along the Reef, the companies boring and prospect 
the Far Western Rand are generally described as working on the " Pullinger 
Orîginally the capital of the company was £108,000, in 432,000 shares of the i 
55. each, fully paid up, of which £50,000 was for working capital. Subsequentlj 
ever, the capital was increased to £135,000, in 640,000 5^. shares, Mr. Pulling( 
chasing 81,000 of the new shares at 20*., and having an option over the ren 
27,000 shares at 305. for one year, which bas been exercised. The company pur 
the freehold and minerai rights of the undermentioned farms, situated in the < 
of Krugersdorp, and immediately south-west of Randfontein : — 

Freehold farms : Gemsbokfontein, No. 1 ; Venterspost (one quarter), N^ 
Libanon, No. 396 ; Uitval, No. 663 ; and Blaaubank (undivided half). No. 672 
to 26,222 English acres. 

It also holds minerai rights over the farms : Venterspost (remaining three-qu( 
No. 27 ; Blaaubank (whole). No. 41, equal to 18,816 English acres. 

The gross area of land comprised in the above farms, of which the owners' ri| 
minerais ail belong to the company, is 21,278 morgen, equal to 45,038 acres. W 
exception of the farm Blaaubank, No. 672, of which the company owns an une 
half, the properties are ail in one block, centreing roughly on the farm Middelv 
Southern boundaries of which march both with Gemsbokfontein and Vente 
More recently the company bas acquired half interest in the option to purchfi 
farms Orange Grove and Elandsfontein, which adjoin the farms Uitval and L 
on the south, thus bringing the area of its holdings up to somewhere in the vieil 
51,390 acres, The possibilities embraced in an estate of this area, taken in conju 
with the trend of the Randfontein, or Main Reef, séries, are enormous, and the sj 
results obtained from the boreholes which hâve been put down will, doubtleas, in 
of time lead to the formation of several mining companies in order to adéquate! 
with such a large and rich gold-bearing property. The directors of the com]

GOLD DREDQEK AT WORK IN WBST AFKICA. 



GOLD DREDGING IN WEST AFRICA. 

From the very earliest times, the commonest and most simple meana of obtaining 
gold has been the washing of fine gold from the beds of rivera, and though it ia a 
loi^ step from the simple wooden bowl to the modem dredger, wlth its winches, pumps, 
water-tube boilers, electric light, and its capacity ijf 60 to 90 cubic yards per hour, 
the two processes, both ancient and modem, may still be eeen working practically 
aide by side. The pioneer dredging company under the most modem conditions in 
West Africa is the Birrim Valley Gold Mining and Dredging Co., Ltd. 

The concessions owned by the Birrim Valley Company embrace a portion of the 
Atiwa and the Apedwa ranges of mountaina, and the country immediately between 
them, the entire concession beîng aituated in the province of Eastern AMm. The 
headquartera of the company were established at the town of Kyebi, in the valley 
between the two mountain raines, the Biver Birrim forming a aemi-circle with about 
a two-mile radius round the town. In jt« normal condition the river is about 20 tt. 
wide and 9<n. to 1 ft. in depth. Its bed is for miles composed of auriferous gravel, 
and on eitber bank there is an alluvial flat varying in width from 200 to 900 ft.

THE CONSOLIDATED RAND-RHODESIA TRUST AN! 
GENERAL EXPLORATION COMPANY, LIMITED {Contint 

When the time arrives for the flotation of the groxind sold to the Consolidated Goldfiel 
South Africa, it is expected that this Company will realize a large profit from its interest ii 
Elandsfontein Deep. 

Randt ReefsQold Mining Company, Limited, 14, 609 Shares, fully paid, and Debentu 

The 115 claims owned by this Company are situated between the property of the I 
Mines Deep (alluded to above) and that of the Consolidated South Rand Mines Deep, a 1 
deep level block fioated by Henderson's Transvaal Estâtes, Limited. Ultimately the cl 
of the Randt Reefs Company are likely to be absorbed by a large consolidation of neighboi: 
interests. 

Afrîcan Concessions Syndicale, 7,080 Sliares. 

This subsidiary Syndicate holds a concession for 75 years from the British South A 
Company to employ the water power of the Victoria FaUs, Zambesi River, for the dev( 
ment of electrical power. Récent articles in the Timea and other newspapers will 1 
informed shareholders of the vast possibilities of this scheme, the ultimate commercial \ 
of which can hardly be over-estimated. The total capital of the Syndicate is £50,0( 
which about £40,000 represents cash resources. One-half of the share capital was subsoi 
at par by the British South Africa Company. 

REAL ESTATE. 

Van der Berg's portion of Farm Middeivlei, Witwatersrand. 

This asset consists of freehold ground, in extent about 1 ,200 acres, and yielding a rev< 
of from £1,000 to £1,200 per annum to this Company. A large amount on this accouni 
the period covered by the war is in arrear, but the Company' s Johannesburg agents are 
gaged in collecting the same. 

MINING PROPERTIES (Witwatersrand). 
347 Claims, Randfontein. 

This is one of the most important fissets of the Company. The property has been repo 
upon by Mr. J. I. Hoffmann, late Manager of the North Randfontein Company, as contaû 
in his opinion the extenson of the Randfontein or Main Reef séries. If developments pi 
his opinion to be correct this property should alone be worth the whole capital of the Compi 
Good offers hâve been made from time to time, but the directors hâve not yet received 
which they consider adequately represents its value. 

SUNDRY INTERESTS. 

Estate Finance and Mines Corporation, 39,000 Sliares. 

Tliis Corporation has a capital of £672,778, with large and important cissets, inclut 
real estate in Johannesburg yielding a revenue of £18,000 a year and valued at £260,* 
It has real estate £bssets in England at Edgware, Bromley, and Walmer, and holds a ^ 
substantial proportion of the capital of the Randfontein Deep, a powerful deep-level c 
pany fioated on joint account with Messrs. Neumann, Barnato, Albu, and Goerz. It 
possesses a large interest in the Kamfersdam Diamond Mines, and other interests too numei 
to recapitulate hère. 

Houston Bloclc, 131 Claims on Vlalcfontein and Vogelstruisfontein {IVUwatersrand), 
An interest in the Houston Block is held on joint account with Henderson's Trans\ 

Estâtes and another large South Africati House. 

It stands in the books at a cost of £4,143, and it is considered should yield ultimate! 

handsome profit.
