A Fitting Tribute to the Memory of

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 27th, '96.
 70, for the touch of vanished hand and the sound of voice that is stilIed.
 It is not for us to question the ins- crultable ways of the supreme Being, nor to ask why our friend was taken in the first flush of his young manhood, he being but thirty-two years of age, with promise of a life of much useful ness in the world, nor why a fond mother should be bereft of a good son. a wife of faithful husband. an idolized boy of kind and indulgent father. We only have the promise that God doeth all things for the best.
 l.. l.. Morse was a native of Grant county, Wisconsin, the youngest of four brothers, one of which died in Tucson one year ago last June, of consumption. At present, ore is living in his hatlve plecs, and another in Erie, Pa. In 1889, the deceased was married to Mise Sadie Weber, of Bellevue, Iowa, she has been in shadow and sunshine the devoted wife and encourager, making smooth the rough places and enhancing the pleasure of trancient joys and now mourDs his absence.
 MT. Morse removed to Los Angeles, from Tucson last September hoping to improve hIs financial condition by going into the train service, but found no place to work, and ID other business ventures was unfortunate which dis couraged him greatly and bore on his mind continually. At last he complain ed of feeling i'll, consulted a physician , n the 1st of March, and was thought better, but became absent minded, at fines insane on certain subjects, and at last was so violent as to be nfined in the asylum under the constant care of phy ysioaus and nurses, never gaining consciousness, save for a moment at a 22nd inst. The doctors in consultation pronounced the deceese tuberculosis the brain.

 The deceased was known and beloved among the railroad boys on the Tucson division, as he was whole souled snd companionsble friend, and 8 man of worth. Like many railroad men, the heart he had was too large to allow the laying up of much wealth, ,and unforiun- ately had only small insurance with the D. R. c. lodge of Tucson on which the family alone can realize liveli- hood.
 MT. Morse was constantly employed in the train service for many years, and pleased not only the companies be work ed for, but was known as a man of un- doubted integrity and honor smong his fellow-laborers, and a staunch order man.

 Everyone in Cochse county, end in fact the southwestern part of the terri tory knows Jack Lasseter, more familiar. ly and widely known as "Ssn Simon Jack,' for 8 more genial, good-natured cowooy would be hard to ind.

O: Lhe occasion of horse race within @ radius eff 100 miles around the obiqui- tous "Ssn Simon Jack" was ever among those present.

THE INVASION Crushing Evidence Found Among the Papers of
 Lionel Phillips. CAUSED A SENSATION. The Reasons Which Actuated Jameson in Crossing the Frontier When he did
 Remain Clouded in
 Mystery.
1 CAUSED A SENSATION,

LONDON, May 1-The Times has
 dispatch from Paris. quoting dispatch
 to the Temps, from Pretoria, whicf
 says:
 "The government found among ths
 papers of Lionel Phillips, president o
 the Johannesburg chamber of mines {
 letter bearing date July l, 1894, to
 London finsncier, providing that during the visit to Johannesburg of Sir Henry Brougham Loch, then governor and
 high commissioner of Cape Colony,
 asked Phillips whether Johannesburg could hold out for six days, and what arrangements be possessed, and he of fered to spin out the Swaziland con vention negotiations for SIX months to enable Johannesburg to prepare and bring troops for an invasion of the Treansvasl."
 It would be difficult to over estimate the sensation which has been caused Tn England by the publication of the suO- stance of telegr6m5 and documents which came into the possession or the authorities of the South African repub- lic. The weight of evidence which they furnish against the persons to whom they were addressed and by whom they were signed being engaged ln the conspiracy to overthrow the Trsnsvaal, Is admitted to be crushing. The opin- ton of the press very generally condemns them. But strenuous efforts are made to prevent sweeping condemnation of the authorities of Cape Colony and of the British chartered south African colony, other than the individuals whose names are included in the docu- mentary evidence.
 The Times, in an editorial on the sub ject, says ''it is impossible to ignore the gravity of the conclusion to which the published telegrsms paint. They es- tRblish beyond the possibility of doubt that Cecil Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony, MT. Alfred Reit, director Of the British South African com psny, and Rutherford Harris, secretary of the British South African company were privy to the movement against JOhn"- Lesburg and that the leaders of the move ment counted upon their help d. q coun tenance to insure success. The telegrams must be taken to prove that Rhodes approved the revolution which was desired in Johannesburg. but noth- ing in the correspondence goes to show that the actual crossing of the frontier by Jameson under the circumstances under which it eventually occurred was known te Rhodes or carried out with his approval
 ''The reasons which actuated pr. Jameson in crossing the frontier when he did remains clouded in mystery"
