South Africa.

New York, Nov. 9.-Lord Pauncefotc.
British ambassador to the United
States, arrived here to-day on the
Oceanic. He said he was glad to get
back to this country.
II have lived here for 10 years. he
said land I feel that l am quite an
American"
Asked if he was doing anything to
further the good feeling between this
country and England, he replied:
"Nothing-nothing more than l have
been doing for the last 10 years. I am
a great believer in the most friendly
relations between our Anglo-SaXons.
Our interests are in many respects the
same"
Lord Pauncefote inquired eagerly
after the news from the Transvaal,
wanting to know particularly if the
British troops at Ladysmith had held
their own.
He said: Il am glad that Ladysmith
has not fallen and 1 believe the sstua-
ton there will soon be relieved. Cen
eral Butler is coming up to relieve Cen
eral White and this will change the
situation there. There have been re-
verses, it is true, but these things are
to be expected in war.

British ship Powerful cannot be over

IT TOOK A NOVEL TURN
An Interesting Point in the Johns
Case.
BARRED BY LIMITATIONS
The Suit Has Seventy-Six Defendants

In the answer filed yesterday In the

Enoch Johns and wife and about = 9TH

taken in law suit that has become quite
celebrated.
The suit is the old one in which Enoch

southeast of the city, sought to dispos-
sess Cannon and others of it. they hav-
ing filed placer locations. The contro-
versy was as to whether the land was
subject the more properly to mineral or
homestead location. Johns filed home-
stead and took the matter before the
land commissioner at Washington, where
he first obtained a decision. which was
however. reversed later. When the mat
ter was fought out in the land depart
ment and Johns was defeated, he carried
the fight into the United States court.
where it hung fire for a very long time.
IT was finally decided by Judge Knowles
adversely to Johns during the last term
of the United States court here.
Joseph V. Long and c. w. Cannon. who
had been among the principal defendants
in the other suit, then became the plant

trict court to recover possession of the

awaiting a final settlement had sold
various parcels of land in the tract, and
the suit Of Long and Cannon was to
evict all those who then held possession.
The answer of the defendants filed yes
terday raises a rather interesting point,
as the attorneys for the defendants Dan

vantage of the fact that the plaintiffs
won their title by claiming the ground to

that the cause of action of the plaintiffs
is barred by the statute of limitations,
which precludes suit to recover pos

An affidavit was filed in the district
court yesterday by Susan Christian in
which she represents that on Oct. l of

the sheriff had tried to satisfy it, he had
been unable to do so. She alleges the be-

he recovered from the shock to hurry to
his engine and draw the fire, thus pre-
venting an explosion.
The accident was the result of a de-
liberate piece of work by unknown train
wreckers. and happened at a point just
beyond a short trestle. Where the rails
spread it was found that the bolts that
had held the fishplates had been unscrew-
ed. The nuts were lying on the ties and

ORCHESTRA FOR
MAY FESTIVAL
Prot. Guckenberger Goes to See
Cincinnati Musicians.
AFTER THIRTY-FIvE MEN
Boston Orchestra's Bid Still Under Con-
sideration-Meetin of the Assoc
citation Will be Held Soon
to Make Selection.

Professor Benjamin Guckenberger left
for Cincinnati yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of negotiating with thirty-five
members of the symphony Orchestra of
that city to play under his baton at the
May festival.
The Festival association has proposition
from the Boston Festival Orchestra, and
when Mr. Guekenberger returns from Gin
ctnnati it will have definite proposition
from him as to the orchestral force and the
soloists
Should the association decide to close
with the Boston organization, among the
brilliant virtuoso attractions would he DE
Pachmann, the Russian pianist. There
would be many singers besides.
Should the Cincinnati contingent be en-
gagged instead of the Boston Festival Or
chestra company, several great vocal stars
would be included in the contract In Ell
Their event-Boston Festival Orchestra or
Guckenberger Cincinnati combination, Mr..
Guckenberger will be the musical director
of the May Festival.
There will be meeting of the May Fes-
tival association the latter part of this
week to consider and agree upon plans.
Within the next week or two Mr. Quicken
berger will call a rehearsal of the festival
chorus and begin the study of Mendels-
sohn's splendid oratorio, Elijah"
The Boston Festival Orchestra, under Mr..
Mollenbauer, numbers thirty-nine perform
ers. The orchestra that Mr.. Guckemberger
would have under his conductorship,
should the Cincinnati musicians be en-
gagged would number forry-oue perform
ers-thirty-fve from Cincinnati and six
from this city.
While the Boston Orchestra, taken as a
whole, is excellent, the Cincinnati must
clans are said to be even better when indi-
vidual players are considered. The first
violin players of Cincinnati rank very high,
and the brass and woodward artists are
said to be unsurpassed in the United
States.
