the policy of holding the PHILIPPINES,

licans as Mason and Hosr, and some
people expected him to follow the ex-

good"
DIR. L. w. Habercomb, who had
charge of the republican German lit

but the figures may disprove the guess.
Let US examine the electoral vote.
There are 447 electoral votes in the cleo
toral college. 1t will require 224 to con-
stitute a majority and the candidate
that receives this number or more will
be the next president of the United
States.
The following states are absolutely
certain to cast their votes for Bryan,
this fact being conceded by both parties:

An interesting case that had it's amusing

istrate Nathans yesterday. The plaiptiff
was Mrs. Christie Lucas. who charges that

Liberty. at o'clock in the morning, ap-

but short time and speaking little Eng
lish, besides being very much excited in
the bargain made the hearing one of
many difficulties for the magistrate and
the lawyers who represented the two
sides of the case.
Three interpreters who were brought in
to help elucidate matters were evidently
jealous partisans to the quarrel and &C.
cused each other in a Datois of choice
Hellenic explosives and good English
oaths, of being everything from a bare
faced scoundrel to a consummate liar.
The word perjurer or its Greek synonym
was banded about during the entire hear
ing and applied indiscriminately to prin-
cipals, witnesses and interpreters.
The evidence in the case was given with
the utmost precision and with the great
est regard to details. The defendant stout
" denied all of the charges but the mag
istrate was sufficiently impressed by the
statements Of the plaintiff to remand the
case to the Superior Court

and emphatic denial of the charge.
Mai. Ruthers was depot quartermaster
here during the encampment of the troops
and for some time after and Savannah
ians were surprised that his name should
be connected with such story as that
told by Holland, the alleged government
detective, who made the charge to the war
department 1t has never been believed
here that there was any truth in the story
and Maj. Ruthers' denial, emphatic in its
language was unnecessary SO far as any
credence being given the charges. His
high business and social standing disered-
tied the story at once. In his letter MAI
Ruthers said:
I'm all my experience as man. l nave

son:

and connects my name with, was SOLD by

Il presume the war depaftmeut was hot
fast enough for Mr. Holland, 50 he gave
his yarn to the yellow journal. 1 do not

Whether it is campaign lie against Sen

of Mr.. Z. H. McLaws against Capt John
