POLITICS IN GLYNN.
MIR. Beach's Appointment VIII Be
Followed by a stIr-Up.


Brunswick, Ga. Dec. 22.-The appoint
ment of Clerk of the Superior Court J. l..
Beach to the prison commssionership
means another hard political fight in
Glynn county within the next sixty days.
Present Deputy Clerk John c. Lehman
will be candidate for the clerkship, and
receive the solid support of the admins
tration faction. Harry f. duBIgnon will
be candidate, supported by the Good
Government Club. Mr. duBignon is a
young man of high moral character, and
splendid standing in the community, but
the chances are that Lehman will defeat
him in the coming race by
a good majority. The entire strength
of Prison Commissioner Beach
will probably be thrown to Leh-
man, although the good government adj
herents do not think that official will mix
in local politics hereafter. The election
must be called by the ordinary within thr-
ty days after the office Is declared vacant;
it must occur within thirty days after be-
ing called.
Friends of Hon. Thomas W. Lamb view
the Brunsw wick political special in The
Morning News correspondence yesterday
as a semi-officiai announcement of his
candidacy for county treasurer. This Is
not just to Mr.. Lamb. He has never an
nounced his intention of running for coun-
ty treasurer or any other office. At pres
ent he is collector Of customs and political
godfather of the Good Government Club
Despite the fact that he has never ex-
pressed himself and objects to the publ
cation referred TO- the Morning News cor
respondent claims ample justification for
the publication.

WOLCOTT MAY RESIGN.
The Senator Put in a Peculiar Posi-

The Senator Put in a Peculiar Posi-
ton by MIR. Cages Attitude.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The publication of
Senator Wolcotts threat to resign from
the United States Senate has created a
sensation here in political circles. While
many believe that his indignation may
sufficiently cool to prevent the actual re-
linquishment of his seat all agree that
his return to the advocacy of free and I'M
limited silver coinage is certain. The po-
sition in which Senator Wolcott is placed
is well understood by all those who realize
the peculiar situation which has developed
with respect to the administration and
the monetary commission, of which the
Colorado senator is chairman.
Either President Mckinley and Secre-
tary Gage are at variance or Senator VOL
colt and his sympathizers are utterly de-
ceiVed as TO the Presidents attitude. Mr..
Wocott has, since his return from Eu-
rope, talked long and earnestly with the
President, and yet ne defends the Presi-
dent, while taking position of open an
tagonism to Secretary Gage. The asser-
ton is made by Mr.. Wolcotts sympathiz-
ers that Secretary Gage misrepresents the
administration and were it not for the
political disturbance it would cause Mr..
Gage would be forced to retire from the
cabinet

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
No Protest Against Annexation Made
by the MiIxado.

No Protest Against Annexation Made
by the MiI<adO.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Minister Hoshi of
Japan was in conference with Secretary
Sherman at the state department to-day.
The status of the Hawaiian negotiations
has changed materially since the minis
ter's return from Japan. There is no fur
Their protest on the part of the japanese
government to the annexation of the ISL
ands. and. indeed, it is asserted that ia
pans policy never went to the extent of a
positive protest. In any event, that branch
of the question is considered closed and
the present purpose of the Japanese au-
thorites is to secure specific assurances
from the United States that in case Ha-
wall annexed, all Japanese interests will
be fully protected.
In the last letter Mr.. Sherman wrote to
Minister Hoshi on the subject of annex
alton, he made prominent the assurance
that all Japanese interests in Hawaii
would be amply safeguarded The desire.
therefore, is to convert this general assur-
ance into specific guarantees. 1t is said
thit this does not include an assurance of
the continuance of the existing immigra-
ton treaty between Japan and Hawaii as
it is revocable by it's terms in six months
and the revocation would apply in case
Hawaii became a part of the United
States. There is likely to be considera Bile
difference of opinion and rather prolonged
negotiations over the exact extent of the
guarantees to be given Japan.

AUGUSTUS NEGRO HIGH SCHOOL.
Right of the Board of Education to
Cut 1t Of Denied.

Cut 1t OF Denied.
Augusta, Ca, Dec. 22.-The Ware High
school case was decided to-day by Judge
Galloway adversely to the board of educa-
ton. Last summer the board of educa-
ton discontinued the Ware (negro) High
school, declaring it was not sufficiently
patronized by the negroes to warrant the
expense, and they would devote the money
more advantageously by giving. the ne
eroes larger common school advantages.
After trying in vain to get the board to
reverse its decision, the negroes took the
matter into the courts, alleging that the
board had no right to discriminate, and If
the negro high school was cut off, the
white must be also. The matter has been
argued at considerable length and the case
excited much interest. Judge Galloway
has had the case under consideration for
weeks past, and to-day rendered a decis-
ion, in which he enjoins the board of edu-
cation from employing funds raised by
taxation for maintaining white high
schools unless they also maintain a high
school for the negroes. The case will be
carried to the supreme court.

The benefit given for Mrs. John
Hanley and children at Piper's Opera
House last evening was attended by
the greatest success that has mark
ed any affair of the kind on the Com
stock for a long time. The house
was packed to the doors and the pro-
ceeds are supposed to exceed the
hopes of the most sanguine of the
promoters. The lions share of the
credit is due to the A. .. U. w, who
got up the ben fit and to Mrs. Hirsch-
berg, who arranged the musical and
literary programme, but it was the
generosity of the Comstock people
that swelled the proceeds. Before
the curtain rose Jack Burke made a
few highly appropriate remarks.
The programme which followed
was participated in by the best of
Virginia and Gold Hill talent and
every number was enjoyed, as the
liberal applause attested. The dance
which followed was well attended
and kept up until late hour. The
Divide band furnished excellent
music, as usual.-7Enterbrtse.

This has been done gratuitously,
with the hope that it would put a
little new life into the Order in this
Jurisdiction. So far, we believe
some little good has been done, but
the remuneration has been small,
and but few members have taken in
terst enough in the work to even
send US an item about the workings
OF the Lodge. We would like to
have the Recorders of every Lodge
in the Jurisdiction send us short
report of their meetings, and any
other items of news that may be
interesting to the members. 1t is
but little trouble to do this, and if
the work is to be continued by us, it
must be shown that some interest is
being taken to help the work along.
Let US hear from you, gentlemen.
