SiR JOHN WILL0UGHBY'S LETTERS
In Them He Sad He Believed the Jane
son Rad Vas Sanctioned by the
Imperial Authorities.

LONDON, ENG. April 6.-At to-day's
sitting of the Parliamentary South Afri-
can Committee an official from the War
Office produced a number of letters writ
ten by Major Sir John Willoughby, the
contents of which the witness refused to
disclose on the demand OF Mr.. Labou-
chere at the sitting of last Friday.
The first letter read was dated from Hol-
loway jail, where Willoughby was serving
term of len months Imprisonment,
which recently expired. In the commu-
nication the writer said he had taken part
IN the jameson movement in pursuance
OF orders from the administrator of Mata-
beleland in the honest belief that the
raid was undertaken with the knowledge
and assent of the i'm perial authorities.
Major Willoughby was called to the
stand and Sir William Harcourt asked
him number of questions designed to
draw out a statement for his reasons for
believing that the raid had the sanction
of imperial authority, to which he an
swered that his belief was based upon
private conversations which he had had
with DR.. Jameson. The witness was
pressed for a more detailed answer, but
after fencing with his questioner for a
while he finally refused to give any fur
ther answer.
The chairman warned Major Will
loughby that the testimony he was giving
was in direct conflict with that given by
DR.. jameson and asked him to explain to
the committee the reason why the testi-
mouy of the two should be so much at
variance. Willoughby repeatedly de-
clined to make any explanation, and the
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-07

One important fact that tended TO a
quiet cele bration was that a very large
proportion OF the male population is under
arms on the frontier OF Thessaly. Much
relief is felt in Government circles that
the day passed without any attempt being
made to force the hand of the King and
his advisers. There is however, an under
current of feeling against the Government
for lis alleged dilatoriness in dealin5 effec-
lively with the situation, and. though 1t
was not materially felt to-day, there is
no telling when it may break forth and
carry all before it.
In Athens itself the celebration was car
rled on with the greatest enthusiasm.
All business was suspended. The pro-
gramme OF the day. festivities included
TIE Deum at the cathedral in the morning.
This religious service was attended by
King George and Queen Olga, the Minis
ters OF State and foreign diplomats. The
service was marked with more than usual
solemnity, all present feeling that divine
aid was indeed needed to carry Greece
through the troubluus days now confront
ing her.
The route from the palace to the cathe-
dral was lined by the enthusiastic popu-
lace, who were eager to salute the King
and Queen and to give expression to their
sympathy with their ma ties. AS the
King and Queen drove along in an open
carriage they were constantly cheered by
the crowds.
Some of the more ardent advocates of
war had caused to be printed large num-
Der of papers bearing the inscription,
"Hurrah for warr' and these were scat
tered broadcast throughout the city with
the evident intention of further infiaming
the popular passion, ana many of them
were thrown by spectators into the Kings
carriage.
After the cathedral service the day was
given over TO general holiday making.
The people all gave free expression to
their feeling of patriotism, but the day
was marked by an utter absence OF DIS
order
A feature of the decorations in honor OF
the day was the entire absence of all for
eign flags except those which were flying

Republican ranks and the tiocking of the
discontented laboring class TO the stand
ard of silver Democracy. Carter Henry
Harrison was elected Mayor of Chicago to-
day, and great Democratic trump was
recorded. The 500 900 plurality of McKin-
ley over BRYAN was turned into Demo-
cratic plurality OF about So, 600 over Judge
Nathaniel G. Sears, the machine Repub-
lican candidate for Mayor. The almost
complete mayoralty returns show that
Harrison polled plurality of about IS 900
over the next best man, Alderman John
NJ. Harlan, Republican, who ran on the
citizens ticket by himself.
The figures also indicate that the next
Mayor polIed a small majority over all
the three other principal candidates-

whose ticket was called Business Ad-
