of Fairfax county. Virginia.. who stated
that the trials of his clients had been set
for tomorrow. and that there is doubt as

Moore suggested that there is strong i'm
preston throughout the state. in the courts
and among the lawyers, that 5uries cannot
be summoned until there Is legislation
amending the present statute. He pointed
out that the present statute provides that
those entitled to vote shall serve as Jurors,
and that under the new constitution no one
will be an eligible voter until the new reg
istration Is begun. He also said it is under
stood that the general assembly now in Ses-
son will amend the statute, but that he
was not advised whether this has yet been
done.

glIment Judge Love stated he would con-
tinue the trial of Marcy until the first

LOYAL BRITISH COLONIES.
Want Reciprocal Trade Relations With
Mother Country.

+ GLASGOW. July 2S.-Premier Seldom OF
New Zealand, In a speech here today, sasa
the colonies had already proved that they
love the motherland by sending their sons
to fight in South Africa. They wished to
go further and give the mother country
trade preference over other nations, but too
much attention was being paid to what
continental nations might think.
What the colonies and Great Britain
should do was to Join In common cause to
meet American competition. Should this
be done the result need not be feared. said
Mr.. Seldom, because the British workmen
and manufacturers were unequaled in the
whole world.

Col. May VIII Not Resign.

The friends Of Colonel May say that the
colonel has decided. in view OF the plainly
evident desire Of the commanding general
to Gust him. TO hurl back defiance, so to
speak. and retain his commission solely to
thwart General Harries plans if for no
other reason.
General Harries has been quoted as say
ing that n" placed Lieutenant Colonel Ross
In command OF the defense for the field
mAneuYers simply because of his knowledge
mat Colonel May was totally incompetent
TO properly command the forces
As the judge advocate general Of the
army has ruled that General Harries is
without power to force Colonel MAY TO sur
render his commission. the matter is apt to
retain its present status indefnitely-or at
FEAST until the expiration of the leave of
absence Of five months granted Colonel
May. In the meantime. Lieutenant Colonel
Burton X. Ross is in command of the Isl
Regiment.
General Harries was asked by a Star re-
porter il he had anything TO say regarding
tne alleged unpleasantness. and said:
There * nothing unusual in this rase
II was entirely proper to assign Lieutena MT
Colonel Ross 70 take charge of the repi
ment during the engagement There was

Albert Salnave entered Limbo yesterday
evening, and this morning he was within
nine miles of this city. after having de-
feated the troops under Gen. Nord, the
minister of war of the provisional govern

is expected, and Cape Haytien probably will
be attacked this evening or tomorrow morn
ing. Foreigners are without protection and
are in danger. The United States gunboat
Machas. which was ordered to proceed
from Colon to this port, has not arrived.
Much regret is expressed that no foreign
power is represented here by a warship at
such a critical moment.
A dispatch from Cape Haytien on July "a
announced that an army from the depart
ment of Artibonite, in sympathy with M.
Firmin, was marching on Cape Hayden
from three sides. The three divisions were
under command of Gems. Albert Salnave.
Emil Gaspard and These Monfiston. It
was feared at that time that the gunboat
Crete-a-Pierrot would land troops in sup
port of NJ. Firmin near Cape Haytien.

Lewis Academy Notes.

As Christmas vacation draws near
every one is lively, enthusiastic and filed
with fond anticipations OF the pleasures
of a period of relaxation.
Ihis weeks work has been more siren
uous than usual. for in addition to their
regular work the students and teachers
have been constant attendants upon the
revival meetings led by Rev. Biederwolf
and Mr.. Seagle. These efforts have been
crowned with blessings. for twelve pupils
have taken a stand for Christ and others
are deeply interested.
The faculty and school some time ago
organized a Christian union something
on the style of the Y p s. c. <. Their
weekly prayer meeting. held during the
noon hour on Wednesday of each week,
having a very decidedly beneficial effect
in training the young people for active
service in the church.
The lookout committee is very active in
those not Christians TO accept
of Christ and enter this service
Since the season for football has closed
the young men are busy exercising and
training in the newly fitted up gymnas-
ium. From the merry laughter pealing
forth from this room during practice hour
one would suppose that all were enjoying
themselves.
The primary and intermediate grades
are arranging for pleasant and interest
ing closing exercises on next Wednesday
forenoon.
The evening lamp may be seen burning
in Miss King studio as finishing touches
are being put on drawings and paintings
for Christmas.
