OFFICERS OF co. G.
Captain to be White Man-Two
Native Lientenants.

Some thirty-fve members were
present at last night meeting OF the
Hawaiian Republican Club.
The bone of contention during the
evening was the choice of officers for
the proposed Company g, n. G. III.
The house seemed to be about evenly
divided, one side contending that the
captain and his lieutenants should be
white men. others were in favor of
these positions being held by natives.
After long discussion as to the
respective merits of the two systems,
a compromise was effected. The
captain will be white man chosen
from the ranks of Honolulu's we'll
drilled military men. Two natives
from the clubs membership will be
chosen first and second lieutenants.
A meeting to form Company &
will be held next Monday evening in
the Drill Shed.

The Westminster Gazrtte lnIs after
noon, commenting upon the develop
ments IN the East, points out that, in its
opinion, an excellent opportunity is now
offered for making a beginning with
what is described as 1.-The union in the
higher diplomacy of the United States
and Great Britain, to which all thinking
men in the English speaking world so
confidently look forward "
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
remarks.
"America, with ourselves, is pacific
power. For years back the has taken
great interest in the development of
Japan, Oorea and China. The interest
of John Bull and cousin Jonathan is
identical. Neither desires to disturb the
statu quo; both wish to get a fair share
Of what commercial advantage may
be going. Should the Times Hong Kong
despatch be confirmed and the Cars
advisors unfortunately persevere in
their determination to disturb the bal
ance of power in the far east, Japan
will look for friends, and those friends
are, obviously, Great Britain and the
United States.
The little anxiety in the foreign Office
now would be cheaply bought if it is led
thereby to carefully consider the future
diplomatic and naval relations between
the old country and her strenuous sons
across the Atlantic and to realize that
the English speaking world can better
employ its strength rhan in international
squabbling over such petty matters as
the boundaries and obligations of Vene-
zuela and Nicaragua"

Death of Capt. Drummond.

Capt W. F. Drummond is dead.
Fer thirty years he has been passing
from Norfolk to Weldon and Raleigh,
and then back to Norfolk again. He was
known to everybody as the jovisl and
courtly conductor of the SeabOard Air
Line. He was an encyclopedia of every
thing that had happened within his reach
during these thirty years. He remem-
bered and often related funny incidents
that occurred when both himself and the
road over which he ran were young.
He sometimes seemed a little uncivil,
but he was not. He was too noble, too
generous, and too broad minded to be at
any time anything bur considerate and
genteel, what seemed to be indifference
or crustiness, when you knew him we'll
were becoming Characteristic He was
large of statue and his heart was big in
proportion.
He was a consistent Christian and
gave unsparingly to charity and to his
church. He was taken sick in May last
and has been gradually declining until
Thursday night when he quietly passed
away at the home of his sister, Mrs f,

IS NEARING ITS CLOSE
THE DURRANT CASE MAY BE
GIVEN TO THE JURY
THU RSDAY.
DURRaRT's MYSTERIOUS LETTER

1T is Said That Its Contents are known
and That in it Durrant Says he Saw
the Last Details of the Murder and
Saw Pastor Gibson and Another Man
Prominent in Church Affairs Bend
ing Over the Body of Blanche Lamont
.-The Letter Opened by his Lawyers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Gal, Oct. 25.-The
trial of DurTant is nearing its close and
the case will be probably given to the
Jury next Thursday or Friday. Attorney
Dickinson for the defense has said he
will conclude on Tuesday morning, to
which day the case has been continued,
and Attorney Duprey, also for the de
fense, will probably finish for Durrant on
Tuesday afternoon. District Attorney
Barnes expects to begin bis argument on
Wednesday morning aud to complete his
closing address the same day.
Judge Murphy's charge will be long
and exhaustive, and its delivery may
take a day. The exhibits are numerous
and in the cases of some will require
much study on the part of the jury. This
is especially true of the comparison of
the notes of Durrant and those made by
Student Glazer with whom Durrant
auizzed.
1t is understood that the District At
torney will parallel the two sets of notes
and argue that Durrant's could not be
more like GIazar's without having been
copied verbatim The District Attorney
will, it is said, also attack the roll ll-call,
and will call attention to the error in
marking student Gavin present when
he was, in fact, absent The jury will
be asked to judge for itself as to the
alleged similarity between the hand
writing of Rev. George Gib9on, and
that on the package enclosing Blanche
Lamont's rings.
The Examiner says that the contents
of the mysterious letter, which was to be
opened in case Theodore Durrant is con-
yicted, are known. Ia this letter, it is
said, Durrant makes the statement that
he saw the last details of the murder,
and saw Rev J Geo. Gibson and another
man, prominent church affairs, bend
ing over the body of Blanche Lamont.
The Examiner says that though Durrant
requested his lawyers not to open the
letter until he was convicted, they have
opened it, and so remarkable were the
statements it contained, that even they
did not believe then, and refra;ned from
using them in Durrant'S defense.

THEY WILL NOT SUBMIT
NEGROES OF SOUTH CAROLINA
PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW
ELECTION LAW.
WILL APPEAL TO THE COURTS

And if that Fails to Congress-, and If
That Fails to the People of the COun"
try to Compel the State TO Give Them
Their Rights, Says Delegates Whip
per and SmalI--Claim that the State
has Never Been Under Negro DOmi-
nation, not During the DAYS of 1868.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct 26.-In the
Constitutional convention to day, W. J.
Whipper, a colored delegate, of Beau
fort, addressed the convention for two
hours, contending that the negro never
had been responsible for the frauds com
mitted in South Carolina, when they
were in power, but that it was the
work of designing white men for
which the negroes were not res
ponsible He declared that the
scheme of dIsfranchisement before
the convention was gotten up by deslgn-
ing men for their own interest. Though
it would be passed, the negroes, SAID
Whipper, would fight it in the Supreme
Court of the United States and in Con-
gress, and if all these failed, before the
people of the country.
Whipper was prominent in the days Of
negro domination in the State, and hav-
ing an intimate acquaintance with the
men who governed the State then, his re.
marks possessed more interest than they
otherwise would.
He admitted at the outset that the
negro was now the inferior Of the white
man, owing to his lack of educational
advantages aud the fact that he had
been free only thirty years. He denied
that there ever had been negro rule in
the State. True, they had majority in
the convention of 1868 and subsequent
legislatures, but they were but the tools
of designing white men, who directed
them as they pleased even when they
could have elected every officer from
constable to Governor the white man
always had the most offices and no ne
gro was ever Governor, or Judge or
Sheriff or any other high official. He
claimed that in his town Of Beaufort,
where the negro had a majority of
twenty to one of the population they
always elected white mayor and gave
the whites half the council
These things showed, he claimed, that
the bngaboo of negro domination and
the destruction of white supremacy were
but subterfuges gotten up by designing
men who wished to profit politically
thereby. He held that the devotion Of
| the negro TO his masters family and in.
terests while he was away fighting bat.
| ties to forge more firmly the shackles
about his slaves, made the white people
owe him deep debt Of gratitude which
would be i'll repaid by taking away from
| him his rights.
He said the negroes intended to sap tht
foundations Of the Convention itself il
the United States Supreme Court; and il
that failed, to appeal to Congress; and il
that failed, to trust to the people Of the
country TO compel the state to give then
their rights. He was followed by Gen
Robert smalls, also colOred, who made Z
short address endorsing Wnipper's senti
| ments.
Debate on the qaas.ion was adjourned
until Monday.
