BOER RESOLUTIONS LOST.
South Carolina Remembers Friends
of Mason and SlideII.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 16-The House of
Representa- es gave two hours of the 1T
tie time remaining before adjournment to-
night to debate ON resolutions of SYM
pathy for the Beers and Filipinos.
The first resolutions were offered some
days ago and resolutions declaring the war
in the Philippines was unjust and that the
army should be withdrawn and the Fill
pinos protected from other nations, were
offered as an amendment The amend
ment was lost, with but five votes in its
favor.
An eloquent debate followed on the pro-
Boer resolution the strong opposition be,
| ing unexpected. The arguments that the
| Beers were fighting for the same freedom
and against the same grasping and I'M
| just country as America a century and
a quarter ago did not outweigh the SYM
pathy for the Anglo Saxon, and the graft
tude for the sympathy given the Southern
| Confederacy by Great Britain.
How can a South Carolinian," exclaim-
| ed one of the speakers, remembering the
incident of Mason and Slidell, give his
| vote against the friends of those DAYS.

Bids for a Plant to BE Opened-Green
Sent to Jail.

Tallahassee. Fla, Feb. '16-The City
Council met Thursday night to open bids
for an electric light plant for Tallahas-
see. Bids were made by only four or five
companies but they submitted from three
to thirteen bids each.
The city voted to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for an electric plant, and
the first bid read out was $5O, 361. The
lowest bid was $50. 1t is said that the
bids, leaving out the highest bid, will av-
erage about $1,000.
The Gas Company holds an electric light
franchise in this city, and it is understood
that Lawyer George b. Perkins, represent
ing the bondholders of the gas company
will at once file bill before Judge John
NJ. Malone of the Second circuit, praying
for an order to restrain the City Council
from entering into a contract with any
company or person for an electric light
plant. Application for an injunction will
