MACRUM's EXPLANATION.
Claims His Position In Pretoria Wa
Insufferable.

InsunerabIe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In a state
ment issued yesterday Charles Macrum,
former United States consul to Pre-
toria, says:
1.-The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official, | could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as to
the exact conditions in South Africa;
secondly, as a man and citizen of the
United States, l could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-re-
spect and that of the people of Pretoria,
while the government at home contin-
ued to leave me in the position of a
British consul and not an American
consul. want to say right here that
there was not a single request made of
me through the department of state
looking to the care of British interests
in Pretoria which did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders.
On the other hand, American interests
in South Africa were in a condition
which demanded that the department
of state should be cognizant of them.
II issued the statement received
from the state department that
Americans must remain neutral. In
the face of this Americans were con-
tinually going to the front and taking
up arms in the cause of the Beers. |
could not help but know that many
of these were citizens of the United
States. also know that many of
them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own government were
taking the oath of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic. When affairs had
reached that stage that my vice consul,
Mr.. Van Ameringen, closed up his bus.
mess, took the oath of allegiance to
the republic and went to the front as
burgher, | thought the time had
come when | should make report of
these conditions.
He goes on to explain that his mail
was opened by the British authorities.
He therefore asked leave of absence
and came to Washington to report the
conditions, but was surprised upon his
arrival to learn that he was no longer
in the cosular service and that the de-
partment of state expected no report
from him.

The following extracts from letter

years.

spring there were % quarter-sections

one last spring, with six more to go up
this spring. This is only sample OF
what Is going on all round. We intend
to build a church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strictly
in line. 1t would have amused you to
have been here last spring. There
were crowds OF land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie Is not
very inviting, and Of course lots we're
discontinued. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which
he never would have come here. AMI
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got place and today claims he would

out. so l am glad he Is satisfied.

Zulua and Basutos.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Mr. Chamberlain's
announcement in the house of COM
mons of the intention of the govern
ment to encourage the Zulus to defend
themselves from the Beers is a contin-
gency the Beers seem to have antici-
pated, as they have been doing every
thing in their power to win the good
will of the Basutos, who have thous-
ands of good rifles. The Beers gave
1000 Basutos a safe conduct. II the
British let loose one tribe the Beers
will probably let loose another.

Death of r. M. Lothian.


For many weeks past this commun.
lty have lived in expectation of the sad
announcement which came Monday
morning, Aug. goth. At about Z a. m
of that day the news was spread
through our village that II. M. Lothian
was dead. For many months the de-
ceased has been in failing health, and
had for this reason closed out his bus
mess, sold his home and planned to
seek relief in change of climate
But so rapid was the progress of the
disease, consumption, that in all these
months there has not been time when
it was deemed safe to undertake the
journey. AS consequence, for long
time now he has not gone beyond the
bounds of this vicinity.
The active and marked symptoms OF
his disease began to show themselves
almost year ago. His strong will
and brave struggle for health has no
doubt prolonged his life for weeks, if
not months. But his effort was all in
vain. During most of the summer he
was mostly confined TO the home and
his bed, and has not been able to ride
out much since the early part of the
season, and of late not at all.
IL. Nj. Lothian was born in Canada
| about 45 years ago. AT an early age
he came with his parents and settled
in the pioneer home at Mt. Salem. On
| September "a, 1884, he was married to
Miss Lizzie Rose, his now bereft
| widow. To this union two children
were born, Bruce and Lizzie.
This death is the 18th one which has
occurred in the family in the space of
a few years, four of these, father,
mother, Robert and brother-in-law,
having transpired in less than two
years. This record of family sorrow is
remarkable in that the majority of
these deaths have been by consump-
ton.
II. NJ. Lothian was for many years in
business in this village, and as mer-
chant and buyer and shipper of stock,
he enjoyed wide circle of acquain-
lance in this region. AS a business
man and citizen, he was known and
trusted far and near. The esteem and
respect was attested by the immense
throng of people who attended the OBJ
sequies on Wednesday. Business was
suspended and the stores all closed for
the funeral, The Masonic lodge of
Yale attended in body and the de-
ceased brother was accorded the rights
and honors of Masonic burial. The
ritual service of the order was impress
lively rendered at the church and
grave. The sermon was by the Rev.
j. b. Keith who was assisted in the
service by Rev. L. Clark. A select
choir rendered the solemn funeral
odes.
Of those in attendance from a dis
lance, we note the names of Frank
Lothian, nephew from Tawas; w.
w. Grinnell and wife, of Baldwin; w.
G. Brown, and wife, of Richmond.
The only remaining brother John, we
are sorry to say, is in such feeble
state of health that he was unable to
stand the journey, and could not be
present at the sad rites.
In behalf of themselves and all the
relatives, Mrs. r.. NJ. Lothian and chill
dren, extend thanks to the friends and

TUESDAYS ELECTION.
National Republican But Florida Demo-
cratic landslide.

National Republican But Florida Demo-
cratic Landslide.
Titusville presented livelier appear
ance than usual on election day this year;
one reason for this probably being that
we had so much voting to do IN one day.
Four years ago the state election came in
October, the national election in Novem-
Der and we held no real primary election.
Teusday, we had the state and national
tickets all in one, and aside from this, ii
most interesting primary election.
Quite large number Of our dOwn-river
friends came up here by every means
possible to get the telegraph bulletins; so
that the town was quite lively, but order
~ in every respect, and not an intOXicat-
ed man was noted during the whole day.
Ticusville redeemed herself from the
Republican majority which she gave TO
Mckinley four years ago of eight ballots
by giving a majority this year of sixty
three for Bryan. If the same good work
as this had prevailed in the northern
states, the Democratic candidate wonld
have been all right.
Arrangements were perfected for re-
ceiving the bulletins of the Western
Union Telegraph company at the opera
house, a special wire being carried into
the hall for this occasion, where Mr.. WE.
Jibb, acting as special operator, and as
sisted 10y Mr.. W.R. Buie, furnished them
right off the wire and they were announc-
ed by Judge ID. l.. Gaulden and others.
The first few bulletins from New York,
about 8 O'Clock were disheartening TO the
Democrats, Us it was tO be plainly seen
that Mr.. Bryan stood no show of carrying
that state; and later on all the doubtful
states, except Kentucky and Nebraska,
were Republican.
This Was the time for the pendulum of
popular opinion TO swing back TO the
Democrats; but il failed 10 do so. The
land slide predicted by the Republicans
came OH with a sweep and by IL O'Clock
Mr. Mckinley was congratulated by mem
bers of the Republican national commit
tee and AT 1870 a. III. the president made
short address 10 his friends from his
residence in Canton, y.
The states that are sure for Mckinley,
with their number of electoral votes, rs
well as those that are for Bryan, are
shown in the following table:
