ExoNeRATING THE DECEASED

GreenyilIe May 1S.-(Specal. 1.-The sen sation in the Gafford trial today was the testimony of Mrs. Miller, sister of the de- fendant. Mrs. Miller seemed very little embarrassed, answering questions pro- pounded to her in low but clear tones.
 She testified that she was sister of the defendant that she had known deceased s.nce childhood; that she had had illicit relations with the deceased; that these re- lations commenced in Dec. 1896, while deceased was a member of the legislature; that through the deceased she obtained employment as copyist of legislative work; that she remained there about four days and afterwards visited Montgomery several times.
 She also testified to the deceased going armed and that deceased had stated that he or the defendant must die.
 On cross-examination the witness admit ted writing letter to F. D. Lloyd, but said 1t was copied from letter written by Dr. Lloyd, father of the deceased, that the contents of this letter had been agreed on between witness and Dr. Lloyd after she had sent for him, and that 1t was then joint creation. She also testified that Dr. Lloyd knew of the relations existing be-
  as follows:
 The Famous Letter
 Greenville, Ala. Aug. 2S, 1S97 MT. David Lloyd, Selma, Ala:
 Permit me, sir, to say in vindication of my character which others either ignorantly or maliciously would injure, that the statement now going the rounds of the press that my brother, John A. Gafford, killed MT. F. B. Lloyd to avenge a sisters wrong, is in no sense true. He has never wronged me but on the contrary, has always shown to me during an acquaintance that dates back to childhood the same respect have ever felt for him, and I can do nothing less than join his hosts of friends in their expressions of deep re- gret at his untimely deoth. I desire further to say that in my opinion the sad event is only the outcome of a diff fcuity that occurred between them eighteen years ago, which you and other members of your family well re- member and which from expressions repeated from time to time during these long years by my brother, am sure he never forgot or forgave. About one year :. ago some scandal in which Mr. Lloyds ~ name was connected with relative of of our family reached us and he my brother then threatened MT. Lloyds life and with an oath remarked he had never had any use for him and it would just suit him to settle with him. Re- spectfully, K G. MILLER.

Ksumakapili church WAS filed
to the doors last night with an
audience comprising most of the
music conpoisseurs of Houolulu.
The oratorio concert arranged BY
Wray Taylor, st. Andrews catbe-
dral organist and leader of the
Amateur orchestra, was carried
out in a manner that gave the
large assemblage enthusiastic
pleasure.
The opening number was
Haydn's chorus, 1.-THE Heavens
are Telling" by the Amateur or
chestra with organ accompaniment.
Then came tenor solos, by Handel
and M ,ndelssohn, vocalizsd by
Chas. E. Elston. Mrs. Royal D.
Mead gave a largo from Handel
on the violin which gave intense
delight.
Mrs. Geo. w. Macfarlaue sang
"The Lost Chord" by Sullivan, in
a way to thrill all hearts. T. y
rapturous encore she merely how
ed, which WAS all the audience
could in reason have expected, as
Mis-. Mac'arlane was down for
mother selection on the pro.
gram. This was the air "Angels
Ever Bright and Fair" Handel's
beautiful hymn that she sang n,
the fuoeral of Princess Ksiulani.
This time the recall refused to b.
Quoted until the vocalist came
forward and sang "Home Swee,
Home"
The orchestra and organ made
two appearances besides their
opening one, the selections being
an intermezzo from Mascagni's
"Cavalleris Rusticana" and the
war march of the priests from
Mendelssohn's "Athslis." Their
playing on every occasion was a
great treat. Homer Smith was
the oreanist of the evening.
Great pleasure was given by
Miss Halstead, Miss Scott and
Mrs. L. Damon 10 their singing
Of the terzetto, "Lift Thine Eyes"
by Mend.lssohn. Harold Mott
Smith with violoncello solo, air
from "Riosldo," by Handel, sim
ply emphasized his already won
reputation as master of that
instrument. He received one OF
the warmest encores of the even
ing, to which he cheprfully re-
sponded with selections.
Kaumakapili and Kawaiahao
church cboIrs sang "The Radiant
Morn" by Woodward, with
beautiful effect, Prof. Theo. Rich
ards directing and Mrs. Richards
accompanying.

well for the country and for the Re-
publican party. 1t means that the
executive and legislative branches of
the government are TO work together
much smoother than they did in the
last Congress. The President and Mr..
Reed were never untriendly in their
personal relations, but there were sew
eral important questions of party poll
cy on which they were not only not in
accord, but we're actually antagonistic
in their opinions. This naturally led
to some embarrassment, and in some
cases to the failure altogether of legis-
lation which the President favored but
would not push, in the interests of party
harmony. In the coming Congress,
the President and the Speaker OF the
House will work together in all things,
and the result is bound to be beneficial
both to the country and to the party.
Senator Edmunds has been some
thing of a comfort to the anti-imper-
ialists, and his words have often SOL
aced them in their work of bucking
their unprotected heads against the
granite wall of public opinion. Mr..
Edmunds now expresses the opinion
that the United States has become the
sovereign over the Philippine islands
and "the situation must be dealt with as
it is, not as we might wish it should
be-" The rebellion against Spain, al
the time the treaty was made, "had
not reached that stage of success which
had produced the recognition by the
powers OF even state of belligerency.
The consequence is that "the United
States is responsible as sovereign tC
all other nations for the security Of
their subjects, and in respect to al
international rights" AS Mr.. Ed
munds had been the chief authority O.

that Spain could not transfer sover

the interests and the wishes of the
people of the Philippines. His personal
ambition has thus far been an insur-
mountable obstacle in the way of a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties
which have since arisen"
Professor Worcester shows that
Aguinaldo, while proclaiming iudepend-
ence to his people by American as
sistance, admitted to members of his
cabinet that no American had ever made
any such promise. He promised his
followers the opportunity to loot Ma
Mia, and he organized within the city,
as we'll as without, his plans for MUIR
der and pillage. He never forgave the
Americans for defeating his schemes
by driving back his forces at the point
of the bayonet when Manila surren-
dered.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
Review of the Situation After the
Events of the Past Week,

LONDON, Nov, 19.-The situation
in South Africa presents few new fea-
lures at the beginning of another week.
The news Of the last twenty-four hours
is mostly made up of belated dispatches
from both the British and Boer sides.
The most important item as regards
the campaign in Natal is the official
announcement from Pretoria that the
Bulwer railway bridge across the Tu-
CELIA river at Colenso was totally des-
troyed last Wednesday. BY this, either
retreat or advance is cut off Tor the
British, and the transport for the re-
lievIng force, whenever it moves, will
have 10 be by baggage animals, pre-
senting long drawn out trains liable TO
continual interruption by the Beers,
especially in the rougher country
South of the Tugela the Beers appear
| TO be in considerable force in scattered
attachments continually on the move,
demonstrating and accommodating the
country between the Tugela and Moot
Hills behind Estcourt, near where, at
Ennersdale, strong body with sever
al field guns is reported to have taken
up position, while another was post
de at Weenen covering the passage OF
the Tugela by the Ladysmi.h road from
Estcourt. Another force is reported
on the main road going west from
Estcourt toward the Basuto Hills and
the southwestern passes Of the ORA
kensberg.
North of the Tugela the Helpmakaar
pass on the Greytown Dundee road is
held by strong force with artillery.
This place was an old Boer stronghold
in the days when they occupied Natal
before the last trek into the Transvaal.
The object of the occupation of Help
makaar is 10 guard the flank of posi-
BILE retreat before an advancing British
force from south of the Tugela; it also
holds in observation the passage of the
Tugela; it also olds in observation the
passage of the Buffalo river at Rorke's
Drift, the scene of the great fight with
the Zulus in 1877.
AT Ladysmith the position appears tc
be unchanged, the garrison being re-
ported in good spirits and supplies still
ample. The bombardment continues in
termttently, but apparently with little
effect, while the British garrison SCENE

orr for Manila.

The Forty.Sixth U. s. Volunteer regi-
ment is now modified at San Francisco
and Is to sail for Manila in two sections
George N. Seguin Of this city, who is now
acting as corporal in Company d, writes a
friend here that his company and Com
pany A, of which #. I. Austin is first lieu
tenant, sailed last Monday. Sergeant
f. S. Melgs OF Company NJ, who is in the
third battalion, will sail to-day as
the men were not then fully equipped. He
writes that at the examinations held at
San Francisco recently several men were
rejected because of physical disabilities.
Among these were Clyde Densmore and
Frank Cummings of this city, who are now
in the general hospital. The latter is to
have surgical operation performed upon
one of his knees.
Mr.. Seguin confirms the reports of dis.
satisfaction among large number Of the
men OF the Forty-sixth and says there has
been a number of assertions and frequent
riotings. The guard house was filled to
overlooking. He thought many would go
on board the transports in irons. The men
were paid off November for the first time
since their enlistment Large numbers
went into the city and started in for q regu-
lar spree.
AS lot of hard work in drilling, ETC.
was being done by the troops before sailing
for Manila, this state of affairs was very
dscouragDg Some companies when call
ed out for drill would fall far short Of theil
complement of men and had TO be filled
with men from other companies. One com
pany called out for drill reported only
twelve men present. Mr. Seguin says d
large number OF the men are tough char
&C ers but those from Vermont are orderly,
| attend to business, and have the conhdenc,
of their officers.

The pass over the Storm Berg Noun
tans between Molteno and Sterkstrom
has also been occupied, thus cutting off
direct communication with the north
beyond Queenstown on the East Lon
don line. Gen Lord Methuen is said
to have left Cape Town for the OrArge
river, which probably means Hope
town, as there is no British force east
ward of the Cape Town-Kimberly rail-
way. 1t is from there that the onward
move to Kimberly is being organized.
There are now arrived in South AT

Buffers army, but they have been 80
dispersed in Natal aud Cape Colony

until the arrival Of the troops COM
posing the second corps, and The drafts
to fill up the losses incurred since the
beginning of the campaign. The want
of sufficient cavalry force is severely
felt on the British aide and initiates
against a vigorous offensive.
The employment of the Bamang-
watos under Khama by Col. Plummer
in Rhodesia against the Beers, is like
ly to seriously complicate matters. A
| large section of the Basutos are said to
be preparing to rise against the Brit
ish, while the Pondos of Pondoland,
about midway between East London
and Durham on the east coast, are re-
ported preparing TO rise against the
white settlers. The natives in Zulu
land are aso said to be becoming uu-
ruly and threatening the whites. This
perhaps is he most serious news OF the
moment, and may become an impor-
tant factor in the general result of this
war. The calling out of the volunteers
in some of the Cape Colony districts is
regarded as intended to test the senti-
ment of the Dutch Afrikanders and
their response is awaited with great
Interest
The success of the next move or
either side will depend more on strate.
gy than on superior numbers. The
Beers have three lines of action open
They can hold the railway, with the
force they have at Ennersdale, falling
slowly back before the British advance

the second place, they can advance
from Weenen and try to carry Est

Franklin to the Fore.

The county Of Franklin, in the first
district, throws its castor into The ring
in which five counties out of the seven
which compose the district are contend
ing for the honor of its representation
in Congress. Lamoille has, however,
two contestants, so that, considering
Grand Isles geographical extent, or
lack of extent, there is close on to an
average of one candidate from each
county.
The Messenger of ST. Adams, in its
issue OF Monday, announces that Col.
A. A. Hall of that city has definitely
determined TO become candidate for
the office of Representative of the dis
trict. The suspicion that there might
be an element of comedy in this last
entry is allayed by the declaration that
Col. Hall has = ade his decision to be-
come candidate "only after careful
elaboration, and in response not mere
ly to justifiable and commendabe
ambition, but to the requests and coun
8 els of many friends throughout the
district"
