TO the Headlight the manager Of the

DADY TURNED DOWN.
Judge Speer Refuses Injunction
Sought Against Georgia and
Alabama Road.

At Macon, Ga, Saturday, Judge
Speer, in the case of Dady against the
Georgia and Alabama railway, refused
the injunction sought to prevent the
consolidation of the Seaboard Airline
system. He referred to the fact that
causes sub bstantially similar were pend
ing in the federal jurisdiction Of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, holding that
the court which first took cognizance
the case should carry it to its termlna-
tion.
He further held that only majority
vote of stockholders was necessary for
such consolidation in Georgia and that
it was not properly maintainable, that
because the defendants, John Shelton
Williams, occupied the position OF q
member of the voting trust, president
of the Georgia and Alabama and of
the Florida Central ard Peninsular,
that the merger or consolidation
brought about through his instrument
tality should be enjoined.
An interesting part Of the decision
is that which bears upon the competi-
tive character of the two roads. Trac-
ing their general trend and calling at
tention to the fact that after leay-
ing Savannah they are in nowisee
connected save through the interme-
diary of one or two shallow rivers on
~~A:ch small steamboats, occasionally
ply and t;sct intervening the two lines
are powerttn competitive systems, he
says: lit is not difficult -to-pereeiye
that the contemplated system of the
Seaboard Airline, instead of tending
to defeat competition, must inyaria-
bly, tend to preserve it."

QUAKER DEMOCRATS
Agree On Bryan In Advance For
Presidential Candidate In
Coming Campaign.

$OllilAlS S0itpoIShs
The Pennsylvania state Democratic
committee, at ameeting at Harrisburg
Thursday, agreed to make W. J. Bryan
its choice for the presidency in 1890.
This action was taken blythe committee
while Colonel Bryan was on his way to
Harrisburg from New York to attend
the meeting and confer with the party
leaders.
This is probably the first time in the
party's history that the Democrats OF
Pennsylvania have indicated their
choice for president in advance OF the
state convention. There was a large
attendance of Democrats from all over
the state to meet Bryan and hear him
discuss the issues on which the COM
ing campaign will be waged.
The etate convention will be held in
Harrisburg on April 5th, and will
adopt platform along the lines laid
down by the Nebraskan in his speech
Thursday night before 5000 people
at Kelker street hall. The platform
will iudorss the Chicago declaration
of principles, deuounce the trusts and
imperialism, advocate ballot reform
and pure elections and condemn ma
chine politicians. The convention will
also nominate candidates for auditor
general, congressman at large, the
nroe;dont;al electors and elect eight
delegates to the national convention.

MR.. MASON ANGERED
British Consul at New Orleans
Criticised American Officers.
THE FACT IS AIRED IN THE SENATE
Foreign Relations Committee Roasted.
Tillman Makes Speech On Phil
ippine Policy.

After some routine business in the
senate, Monday, Mr.. Mason, of Illi-
nois, rising to a question of personal
privilege, hal read an interview pur.
porting to have been held with the
British consul at New Orleans, in
which the Illinois senator was criti-
cised for his speech in sympathy with
the Beers. Mr.. Mason severely criti-
cised the British government, not the
people, saying that not one-tenth OF
the English people favored the pres
eut war in South Africa aud that 95
per cont of the people OF this country
sympathized with the Beers.
He said that it was not the first
time British diplomats had interfered
in American politics, and be desired to
have attention called to this matter
now before it could iujure the present
administration as it had injured Mr..
Cleveland.
Mr.. Lodge said he did not think the
diplomatic or consular officer of any
government had the right to criticise
a senator or representative or any Of
ficer of the government. Mr.. Lodge
said the gallant fight the Beers were
making stirred the heart of every man.
Mr.. Mason criticised the foreign re-
lations committee for taking no action
upon the resolution Of sympathy.
Mr.. Mason then resumed his criti-
cism of England. He said England
had made the war for the purpose of
getting the rich mines OF South Africa.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, said at
the close of Mr.. Mason's speech that
he wished to enter his protest against
"the abuse of free speech on the floor
of the senate"
Mr.. Pettigrew, speaking on a reso-
luton relating to contraband OF war,
said that the doctrine that q beligerent
might seize foodstuffs even if it paid
for them, would mean that in case of
war between our two best customers,
our trade with both would be des-
troyed.
At l :45 p. m. Mr.. Tillman, of South
Carolina, took the floor and made a
speech on the Philippine question. It
was vigorous deuunciation OF the
administrations Philippine policy.
He denied that the blood of the SOL
diers in the Philippines was upon
those who favored Imperialism. The
president of the United States, by ne
gotiating the treaty of peace and
''buying the Filipinos and those
senators who assisted in ratification of
the trea'y were responsible for the
present war. Mr. Tillman said that
the United States cannot govern any
territory that does not belong to the
United States, and where our flag
floats the constitution and the princi-
pies of the declaration of independence
must be in force.

BOERS AGAIN R0UT BRIT0NS
Fifteen Hundred Dead Left On Battle Field
About Spion Kop.

horses were left under the first terraces
of rocks.
Scaling the steep hill the Beers
found that the British had improved
the opportunity and intrenched heavl-
~. Between the lines of trenches was
an open veldt, which had to be rushed
under heavy fire not only from rifles,
but from lyddite and shrapnel from
field guns. Three forces ascended the
three spurs, co-ordinately under cover
OF fire from the Free State hrupps,
a Creusot and big Maxim.
The English tried to rush the Beers
with the bayonet, but their infantry
went down before the Boer rife fire
as before scythe.
The Boer investing party advanced
step by step until 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon when white flag went up and
$50 men in the front trenches surren-
dered, being sent as prisoners to the
head laager.
The Boer advance continued on the
two kopjes east Of Spion kop. Many
Beers were shot, but 80 numerous
were the burghers that the gaps filled
automatically. Toward twilight they
reached the summit Of the second
kopje, but did not get further.
The British Ma1ims belched fame,
but wall of fire from the Mausers
held the English back. Their center
under this pressure gradually gave
way and broke, abandoning the posi-
tion.
Firing continued for some time and
the Fusiliers and the Light Horse
serving as infantry, threw up th:er
arms and rushed out of the trenches.
The British dead left on the battle
field number 1,500.
The effect of the abandonment OF
Spion kop by the English can hardly
be gauged as yet, but it must prove to
be immense.
GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
All the editorials in London papers
of Sunday morning breathed the calm
of determination. No one will allow
that one reverse could deter the coun-
try from the object it has set itself to
attain, whatever the sacrifices which
may be involved.
Very frank criticisms of the govern
ment, however, is beginning to be-
heard even in quarters that have hith-
erto refrained. The Daily Mail bodily
throws all the blame upon Sir Michael
Hieks-Beach, Lord Lansdowne and
Lord Wolseley.
