WHAT Is A FILIBUSTER!
The Supreme Court VIII Define
the Term.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Whether
or not the steamer Three Friends is
filibusler, and what according to strict
legal definition "lilibuster" really is,
are the questions that the supreme
court has made the special order for
to-day. The questions involved are
Of the highest Importance not merely
to the Cubans and their allies in this
country, but to all nations engaged
in commerce on the high seas.
The proceedings have been initiated
by Attorney General Harmon, and
grow ouf of the recent decision of
Judge Locke, Of Jacksonville, which
held in effect that the Cuban insur.
gents were not people, state, dis.
lrict or a colony, within the meaning
Of the section Of the revised statutes
under which was brought the libel
that souget to prevent her taking a
cargo OF arms, ammunition, and vol
unteers to Cuba; and that consequent
ly the expedition was a political one.
The attorney general, or rather the
government, holds ON the other hand
that the Three Friends at the time Of
her being !ibeled was either engaged
on political expedition against a
friendly power, or else was q pirate;
her arms and mounted cannon dem
onstroling that her mission could not
be peaceful one. When the SUI
preme court was asked for q writ of
certiorari, its response vas prompt.

was a most delicate one, and that n

/. ton was involved 10 lis thought chat

CAPITAL DOCKET IN CRIMINAL COURT.
Case of Bunk Lee Passed-Mary Williams Case
 Again Heard

Yesterday the capital docket was taken up in the criminal court, and the case of Bunk Lee, charged with the murder of John Dotson, at Coalburg, was passed on account of the absence of witnesses.
 There is no docket set in the city court this week on account of the fact that the supreme court was to have devoted this week to cases from Jefferson coun- ty. The case of Mary L. A. Williams vs. the Triple Link Mutual Indemnity association, which came over from last week, was again taken up and the pleas are being argued. The case will go to trial today.
 A judgment for plaintiff for property sued for and $6 for detention was rem dered in the case of c. w. Cochren vs. L. Vadebonconer in the second division.
 In the case of Inman, Smith & Co. vs. Harmon Bros, contest claim of exemp- tion, decision was rendered in favor of plaintiff. Mountjoy & Tomlinson rep- resented the plaintiff and John D. Strange the claimant.

WANTED TO MARRY IN A HURRY.
Albert Austin Got His License While the Timid
 Bride Awaited Him on the Steps.

Yesterday evening about 6:3o Albert w. Austin strolled into the sherlff's of- flee and inquired if Judge Porter was in. Being informed in the negative, he vol unteered the information that he and his affianced, Mrs. Emma Clarke, desired to enter the holy bond of matrimony, and that in short order.
 Chief Deputy Warnock telephoned J. P. Stiles to come over and issue a H. cense MT. Stiles was at supper, but promised to be down immediately. Aus tin was very impatient.
 Have you been here long," asked MT Warnock.
 Ever since Birmir gham was an old sag field" replied Austin.
 When asked where the lady was, Aus tin said she was somewhat timid. al- though this was not her first experi- ence, as it was in his case, and on ac- count of her embarrassment remained outside on the court house steps.
 Gall up Stiles again. and tell him fl he don't hurry up I won't vote for him. said Austin. Accordingly MT. WarnocB did so and learned that MT. Stiles would be down within half an hour.
 MT. Austin had especially requested that no reporter be informed of the af- fair One was then present, but no one took it upon himself to inform Austin of the fact.
 The groom-to-be became very restleSs at Stiles delay and said that as long as MT. Stilss was enjoying himself he thought he would go out and eat.
 This was one time the restaurant- keeper got ahead of the customer, fod the couple we're in such hurry that they failed to cat the supper after order. ing it.
 Mrs. Clarke Nves with her sister Mrs Williamson. near the Georgia Pacific shops. It was this sister who was trying to block the game. Mrs. Clarke wat formerly of St. Louis. Austin is the sor of John Austin, who was well knowr here during boom days, and is nephew of Constable c. w. Austin.
 MT. Stiles and Clerk Jackson soor thereafter arrived, and issued the license Mr. Austin and his betrothed then pro. ceeded to the home of Rev. J. A. Bryan Avenue F and Twenty-first street, where the happy affair was consummated.
