POSTMASTER HAlNES TERM UP
HIS FOUR YEARS COMMISSION Ex-
PIREs TOMORROW.

firmed, and MIR. Haines VIII Hold
Observation-Disclosures DOyIe's Friends
Said to BE Responsible for the
Hold-Up in the Senate, and Are
Hoping to Stave Ii on Until Con-
Rress AdjOurDs.
Mr.. George s. Haines' four-years term
as postmaster expires tomorrow, his com
mission being dated April IL. He did not
assume his position, however, until sew
eral days after the date of his commits
sion.
Mr.. Haines will not cease his service
with the government tomorrow, however.
Although Mr.. BUNS nomination was sent
to the Senate some time ago, it has never
been confirmed. The nomination was re-
ferred TO the committee in the regular
course, but has never been reported upon.
Senator Clay Is a member of the commit
tee having the matter in hand and it has
been suggested that perhaps he is holding
up the nomination.
There has been talk among the local
Republicans here for some time that eff
forts were being made to prevent Mr..
BUNS confirmation. Mr. Joseph F.
Doyle, the former postmaster under Har-
rison, and who was a candidate for the
appointment, is said to be working 10 this
end.
If Mr.. BUNS confirmation can be held
up until the adjournment of Congress in
July the President will then be at liberty
to make an ad interim appointment and
Mr. Doyle is said to have reasons to hope
that in this case he will be the appointee
II Is said that Mr. Blun's opponents have
charged that he is not Republican and
that consequently he is not entitled TO the
plum. So long as the fight keeps up Post
master Haines will remain in charge and
II Is hardly likely that he will shed any
tears over the situation.

GEN. LEE COMING.

Will Pass Through Savannah Early
Tomorrow Afternoon.
The Morning News dispatches announce
that Consul General Lee left Havana yes
terday afternoon at o'clock on the light
house tender Fern, accompanied by Con-
suls Brice. Springer and Barker. The
Fern was expected to reach Key West last
night, and the party will arrive at Tampa
this afternoon at ) o'clock by the steamer
Olivette of the Plant line.
The Plant System has two private sleep
ing cars awaiting Gen. Lee and party at
Tampa, and the start North will be made
with but little delay. If Gen. Lee leaves
Tampa this afternoon he will reach Sa-
vannah tomorrow at las o'clock, city
time. The train stops here twenty min
utes for dinner.
dispatch from Tampa announces that
the whole Cuban population, 10000 strong,
will turn out to greet Gen Lee. The little
city of Waycross is also preparing to make
a demonstration in his honor, and there
will doubtless be other demonstration en-
route.
The admiration for Gen. Lees wise and
manly course in the conduct of affairs in
Havana and the esteem for him personally
is doubtless as great in Savannah as in
any city in the South. proposition for
a demonstration IN nOHOT mere Will uOuDt~
less meet with general appreciation. If
it were to-day that he was to pass
through practically the whole population
would be at the depot to greet him. AS
Gen. Lee was already a popular favorite
and a military hero before he added new
wreaths TO his laurels in Havana, there
is no reason why he should not be re-
ceived with every honor due to one of
the most distinguished of American citl~
| zens
AS Savannah is pre-eminently a military
| city, a turnout of the military in Gen.
| Lees honor would be the natural and APP
| propriate manner of receiving him and the
reception would be one which would excel
| anything else likely to occur en- route. II
| would also demonstrate that Savannah
is prepared to do her full share In main
| tanning the honor of the country so well
| upheld by Gen. Lee at Havana.
AS there are doubtless important reasons
why Gen. Lee should reach Washington
at the earliest possible moment, il Is not
likely that his stay here win be prolonged
| beyond the twenty minutes usually al
| lowed for meals, but that time will be suf.
fcent TO demonstrate TO him that Savan.
nahians have taken keen interest in his
| course at Havana.

with one of the queerest and most unique
alimony suits that has come before him
in a long time.
The plaintiff, Sarah Davis, who was su-
ing Lewis Davis, her alleged husband for
temporary alimony, alleged that she was
married to him in New York in 1891. and
that by him she had one son, Barney
Davis, now boy of years. She stated
that he was a peddler, making sometimes
as much as $50 a week, and that he had
refused entirely to support her She was
represented by Mr.. A. l.. Alexander. and
the defendant by Mr.. Walter c. Hartridge.
The plaintiff and defendant are both
Germans, and ii was found necessary to
have an Interpreter in court during the ex-
animation. The interpreter introduced by
one side was unsatisfactory TO the other,
and the, matter was finally Strengthened
out by getting two interpreters, which
made matters all the more interesting and
complicated.
Sarah Davis said Lewis Davis married
her in New York, which allegation was de-
MED by the defendant. He stated that he
had lived with her for a while, and that
the boy might be his, but that he was
never legally married TO her. Besides that
he said he had a wife living In Savannah

sent for. She appeared in court with q

law, but of course Judge Falligant coulC
