with interested spectators.
Hon. John C. Parker, a former dels-
gate from Southampton, acted as coun-
sci for Mr.. Shands. He opened the pro-
ceedings by. giving a brief outline of
what his side expected ito prove. Mr.
Parker said it would be shown by Demo-
Gratis whose party fealty could not be
questioned that Mr.. Stands, and not
Colonel r. Z. Boykin. was the real nomi-
nee OF the party for the Senate.
There was some discussion as TO the
evidence that would be admitted. The
committee Gid not map cut any line of
policy, but decided to pass upon each
question as it should arise.

LONDON. Jan. 10.-i:l5 a. M.-The War
Office has neither contributed any hSnt
on the situation in Natal nor allowed
the dispatches OF correspondents 10 get
through. consequently the public feeling
finds vent In a discussion OF the conduct
of the war.
The Morning Post demands that the

shall be increased by 5000 men. To this
end it urges that all the trained men the
country possesses, militia and volunteers,
shall be called out. asserting incidentally
thar, although the attitude OF other powers
is correct in the diplomatic sense OF the
word, an invasion, if attempted would
be sudden, and that. now is the time TO
