According % his testimony Thursday
ex-Sta'e Senator III Parker made that
remark In London on Jan. 90 where he
saw Howard on the street. Mr.. Parker
explained that the reason he had said
this was that Howard was not at Lon.

The defense Is resting its case on the

prosecution that the shot came from the

PRESIDENT in BAD HEALTH.
For this Reason Vice Presidency Is
Source of Worry.

New York, May 2l.-Republican
members of congress who were in the
city last Sunday night said the selection
of candidate for vice president to run
with President Mckinley was as per-
picking as ever, and that the matter had
taken a new phase.
This Is caused by the state of the
presidents health. The information
that comes from Washington is tha%
while the president S health is not alarm.
ing, 1T Is of Il character to cause uneasi-
ness among his intimate friends, to
whom the facts are kgown. They will
not even breathe a doubt that the prcsi-
dent Is likely to serve four years more,
yet they are satisfied that moro than
usual care must be taken in providing
for the presidential succession.
Usually the vice presidency has been
thrown as sop to the defeated faction.
This will not be tho case this year.
AT recent conference in Washington
1t was assumed that Governor Roose-
welt was entirely out of consideration
and his name was not presented. In
explaining this 1T may be said that there
are very large numbers of Republicans
III and out of the state who still believe
that the governor will "bo drafted" at
Philadelphia. Still at the meeting in
| Washington other names were oonsid-
cred, among them being those Of G. N.
Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long, SEN
ator Lodge, Senator Collum of Illinois,
Senator Wolcott of Colorado and Gen
| eral l.. S. Otis.
When all was said and done it was
| agreed that the candidate for vice presi-
dent who met all political and other cx-
egencies had not been discovered.

News of Relief Confirmed.

king was relieved Wednesday.

LONDON, May 19.-The whole British
empire has been carried off its feet by
the news of the relief of Mafel1ing. The
demonstrations on Ladysmith day pale
before the transports of delirium re-
corded in cablegrams from all parts of
the world, where floats the union jack
Overstrained feelings have found vent
in an expression of heartfelt enthusiasm,
which, starting from the various CEN
tens, spread like prairie fire through
the United Kingdom and the colonies
and converted every community into an
aggregation of shouting, cheering sing
ing, half frantic, but, for tho most part,
orderly humanity.
The empire is enfete and most of the
people i'll the United Kingdom are tax
ing a holiday in honor of the defenders
of the little outpost.
The advance information of the relief
OF Mafeking fails to raise doubt, as the
parliamentary secretary of war, George
Wyndham, had in the house Of COM
mons announced that no official an
nouncement could be expected for at
least 4S hours after the relief he'd been
effected. However, further unofficial

ENJOYS SEE THE PRESIDENT
Bocrs Are Informed That America
Cannot Intervene.


WASHINGTON, May 80. Messrs.
Fischer, Vessels and Wolmarens, the
Roer ENJOYS, who are now in this coun-
try, visited the White House at 10
o'clock, according to previous arrange
ment, to ray their respects to the presi-
dent. No official status was given the
visitors and they presented no creden-
tials.
Tho ENJOYS were received in the blue
parlor, no one being present but them
selves, the president and Secretary Cor
telyou. At the first the conversation
touched upon variety of subjects.
President Kruger's name finally was
mentioned and the visitors then stated
their purposes i'll coming to this coun-
try. They said they understood that
what Secretary Hay told them was final,
and that the United States could not in
terfcrc with the present struggle in
South Africa.
The president confirmed this view.
He said that the action he took some
time ago (when, ut the request of the
government OF the Transvaal that this
government should intervene, he offered
his good Offices to England to bring
about peacc), he did with great pleasure
in the hope that it might possibly bring
the conflict to all end. This offer had
been declined by Great Britain, and ho
said there was nothing further that the
United States could do in the premises.

J. c. w. BECKHAM GOVERNOR.
United States Supreme Court Decides
In Favor of Democrats.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-Thc Ken
tuc!ly governorShip case was today
decided by tho United States supreme
court in the interest of Beckham, affirm
ing the decision of the court of appeals
of Kentucky.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and the case was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. He
said the court should be tho last to over
step the bounds limiting it's own juris-
diction and that the determination of
cases of this character, contests for state
offices, must necessarily bo seettled by
the political branch of the government.
That branch had acted in the Kentucky
case when the general assembly took ju.
risdiction. There was no appeal from
the assembly's decision, which was ia
vorable to Goebel and Bcckham, except
to the tribunal of the people, which tri-
bunal the chief justice said, was always
i'll session. He also said the case was
purely n state case-that Kentucky was
Iii the full possession of it's facualties as
a member of the Union and that there
was no emergency at this time calling
for interference.
The opinion was not unanimous JUS
tices Brewer. Harlan, Brown and Nc

Schubert, representing n syndicate of
capitalists with headquarters at Fosto-
ria, o., has just closed a contract with
the city of Florence, whereby the city
will get an electric light system and

Seige of Pretoria.
PRETORIA, May 20. - An open air
meeting has been held by the local Hol-
landers, go Of whom were present, to
consider the situation in the event Pre-.
toria should be beleaguered. A commit.
tee was appointed to secure place of
safety for the women and children.
The consul general Of the Netherlands,
Mr.. Nleuwenhuys, was asked to advise
his government to take care Of it's sub.
jects.
One speaker said the position was
most dark. The British, he declared,
would be masters of the Free State and
Transyaal; might would be right; the
capitalists would dominate; the Door
would be the sufferers and the Holland.
ers would have no chance.
DIR. Heymans contradicts the REPORTS
received regarding the health of Presi.
dent Kruger, which he says is good.
MIR. Kruger is transacting all the work
Tor the presidency.
In accordance with the understanding
between General Botha and the presi.
dent. circulsr was issued stating that
should the enemy succeed in gaining a
position in the Transvaal and. take pos.
session OF one Of the districts the inhabi.
tants should be free to decide whether
they should leave. The men must re.
main with the commanders.
