VIII Remain at Havana.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee consul-general at Havana, has given
up his proposed visit to his home in Vir-
gnia, which he had expected to make
within the next few days. The determina-
ton to remain at his post is understood to
be due to the reports current in the United
States that he was dissatisfied with his in
structions and desired to be relieved. AS
his return might give seeming approval to
the reports. the consul-general determined
to give up the vacation he had planned, al
though he is much in need OF change of
scene, owing to the hardships of the Ha-
vana climate during the last six months.

1T GOES TO ENGLISH
THE CRAWFORD COUNTY-SEAT WAR
Is FINALLY At AN END.
Supreme Court Holds the Act Chang
ing the Seat from Lenvenworth
Is Not Unconstitutional.

The town of English has at last won its
controversy over the location OF the county
seat of Crawford county. The fight has been
on for ten or twelve years The old county
seat. Leavenworth, has fought the fight of
deportation in it's attempt to retain the
scat of county government, which is prac-
tically all that made it a town. English
has a railroad and is a thriving business
town. The effort to move the county seat
was first made a number of years ago, but
every effort was fought by the Leavenworth
property owners. The Legislature of 1889
passed an act, special in its nature, giving
the people of English an opportunity to
move the seat The County Commissioners
were for the removal and so decided. The
case then went TO the Circuit Court on APP
peal, and a change of venue was taken. The
Circuit Court decided in favor of English,
and an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court 1t was contended by the Leaven-
worth adherents that the act of the Legis-
lature was unconstitutional, because it was
special. This was the only question before
the court. Judge McCabe, who wrote the
opinion, holds that. although the act is
local. II is Of such class of local laws as
cannot. on account of the subject matter,
be made general, and are, therefore, not
Unconstitutional. The court says:
Though the act of 1889 be local and spe-
cial. as We think it Is, yet being on a subject
not embraced in Section 3 Article T. of the
Constitution the determination of the Leg
islature by enacting the law, that one of
general and uniform operation throughout
the State could not be made applicable. is
final and conclusive upon the courts"
The town of English has already built
a new courthouse and made full prepara-
tons for the removal of the seat of govern
mpnt.

that so popular a man as DR.. Rondthaler

work of the Father of Our Country.
Dr. Shepardson spoke of Washington bio
graphically, and then. referred TO his great
work. The tempestuous condition of affairs
at the time the new States were breaking
away from their mother country was re-
called. Above all was observed the guiding
hand OF Washington, who not only planned
military battles. but directed the formation
of the government after the victories had
been won. Washington, as a statesman.

archy. and the fact that the new states
were united and bound together. are largely
due to the influence OF Washington. The
policy OF the infant government was out
lined by him ana he seemed TO see better
than others what was in store. The lecture
by DR. Shepar0son was rich in historical in
formation which furnished information
from which came his conclusions. The pa
triotic talks will continue, all dealing with
the history OF the Nation, and much of il
will be political history.
