IN POTTER'S FIELD
. BODY Of BRITT
IS BURIED
FORMER EDITOR OF FLORIDA UN-
ION AND MAN WHO TRADED
WITH PRESIDENT HAYES
DIES A PAUPER.

CHICAGO May 3.-Adrian Britt, for
merly editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.)
Union, in 1876, whose death was published
in yesterdays Journal was buried here
today in the potters field. He died I'M
known and penniless. At the morgue his
body was identified by a detective, who
had known Britt as 'levee" character.
Adrian Britt was a son of Louisiana
merchant, who died leaving an estate Of
S1,000.OO0. The heir to most of this for
tune was only one year old at the time.
Adrian was born in 1874. He grew up and
went to college in New Orleans. and in
1874 removed to Florida, where he got
control of The Jacksonville Union. He
was an active spirit in the effort to wrest
the political control of the state from
the Republicans.
When the Hayes-Tilden campaign was
at its height Britt's paper was the most
powerful organ in Florida. At the time
the electoral vote of the state hung in
doubt he was looked upon as holding the
key to the situation, and when The Jack
sonville Union conceded the election Of the
state to the Republicans, Britt's influence
was credited with leading to the delivery
of the votes to Hayes. The result was
that instead OF Tilden being elected,
enough electoral votes had been swung
over to Hayes to elect him president by
a majority OF one.
From that time-the campaign of 1867
-Britt's career took a downward course.
His paper lost prestige. The spring Of
1871 he sold It and went to Washington
and secured employment in the govern
ment secret service. He came to Chicago
in 1883.

.M'LAURLN WON'T STAND
BY VOTE OF PRIMARY.
Says System Has Become
a Personal Political Ma
chine-Objects to the
Oath Prescribed.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-Under date OF
May 3, Senator McLaurin, of South Car
DINA, has issued an address to the people
of South Carolina in which he says he
Will not enter the coming Democratic pri-
mary.
The primary system adopted in cur
state, through the farmers movement,
has been prostituted and perverted into
political machine for the purpose of ex-
Guiding all candidates who are not in full
accord with the views and wishes Of the
dictator. The vital question, therefore, Is,
VIII the people OF the state submit 70 this
political tyranny and join in this unholy
and unpatriotic work of disfranehising
the intelligent people and excluding them
from our elections?
with such system have no sympa-
thy and feel impelled by a strong sense
OF duty to warn the people against such
tyranny as it encourages and establishes.
With these facts before me, and my con-
victions as to the original purpose OF the
primary system. am driven to the con-
clusion that it has subserved its purposes
and has outlived its usefulness. Il Is,
therefore. matter OF no concern 60 me
what may be the action OF the May con-
vention as to the rules OF the primary and
revision of its pledges"

NEW YORK, May s.-John d. Long.
former secretary OF the navy, who is in
this city. says he does not anticipate any
immediate changes in the presidents cab
met.
There has been more or less gossip
he said. about Secretary Hay and Sec
rotary Root retiring. think they will re-
main. Secretary Hay has been very sue
cessfuI. His services 10 the country have
been extraordinary. and his administra-
ton of the state department has been
marked with many brilliant achievements.
Secretary Root IS a man Of unusual abili-
he was asked.
How is the navy getting along. as COM
pared with. the navies of other nationsT-
he was asked.
First rate. The appropriation bin for
the navy contemplates the building OF
two battleships. This is not so great q
number as some of the nations are build
ing, but It is keeping US along with Ger
many. First comes Great Britain, then
France, and then the United States or
Germany. Russia and Italy have fine ma
vies, too. Our ships are all In good shape
and can give a good account OF them
selves"
AS to his plans for the future. Mr.. Long
said:
81 am going back TO Boston to resume
the practice OF law. ] do not expect TO
travel extensively for some time. This Is
about the first time In 10 years that
could feel that there is no demand upon

SENATE WANTS COST
IN BLOOD AND MONEY

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The war de-
partment after being hammered in a ter
rife manner by Democratic senators, in
the past two days on the charge Of con-
cealing the cost of acquiring and controll-
ing to date the Philippine islands, is to-
day working at high pressure speed to
obtain the figures. The senate has made
more than one demand on the secretary
for the information, but 1t has never been
given out, even to congress. The adoption
Of Senator Culberson's resolution, howev-
err, and the scorching criticisms pronounce
ed on the senate floor by Senators Gull
berson and Carmack have startled the Of
ficials into activity and the figures may
soon be known.
1t is an assured fact that the total will
run away over one hundred million dol
lars. The last report on the cost of the
Philippine expansion covered a period
from May to November of 1898, and that
placed the figures then at fifty-five mil
lions. Since that time, though congress
has sought for information. nothing Of
the cost has been made public.
Every bureau in the department is Ia
boring today, all at the task Of finding
the cost All the force of men have been
withdrawn from their regular duties and
detailed on this labor.

Jan Krige the Boer commandant, who
spoke at the courthouse Thursday nights
Indignant at the attitude which General
Pearson. the Boer agent at New Orleans.
has taken toward him.
A dispatch from New Orleans says that
General Pearson declares that he knows
nothing of Krige and could have known
nothing of him. Commandant Krige de-
clares that General Pearson does know
him and says that his insinuatious about
him are entirely unfair. Commandant
Krige had the following to say In regard
to the interview which the Boer agent
at New Orleans gave out:
THE interview itself refutes all It's IN

Muiden to get a train of provisions and
that he was assistant commissariat me-
ter at the time. 1 obtained the provisiois
from him in person, as he well knows.
After lecturing in New Orleans when
200 miles away 1 learned that my identity
as a Boer officer had been questioned and
returned to New Orleans to put at rest
all doubt In speech before large au-
dience 1 refuted all insinuations and LETT
my honesty and identity TO vote OF the
audience and was given unanimous vote
in my favor / do not understand why
Mr.. Pearson makes these Institutions at
ter have left New Orleans.
'I have nothing againAk Mr.. Pearson at
all and am very proud OF all that he has
done for the Boer cause. l have no de-
sire to rob him of any Of his glory but
do want fair play at his hands. The IN
situation that I am a British spy mas
querading as a Boer is utterly foolish.
NY sister, Rev. Mrs. ENNIS. is now
prisoner with her seven children In re-
concentrate camp at Ermelo, while my
niece. the wife of State Attorney SHUTS
is in a reconcentrado camp at Mere Bank.

shape, and will insist on an increase In
the valuation. If the increase Is not made
he will assess the property for what he
thinks it is worth. This, Of course, will
mean an arbitration, as the railroads gen.

will not confine himself to the, Southern

RETURNS OF CENTRAL
SHOW BIG INCREASE

An increase OF s144.s25 is what the re-
turns Of the Central OF Georgia Railway
company show this year. The returns
were received Thursday afternoon by
Comptroller General Wright and he ex-
pressed great qualification when he went
over the figures this morning and found
that the Central had SCARED skyward In
stead of downward as has been the case
with the other railroads.
And then theaMilIen and Augusta, Cuth-
bert to Fort Gaines, Fort Valley to Co
lumbus and Macon to Americas branches
are not taxable under the Georgia law,
having been exempted several years ago
for a period OF ninety-nine years. The
Central therefore only pays tax on the
rolling stock 1t uses.
Comptroller Wright did not accept the
returns but viii Investigate them before
arriving at any decision. He win COM
pare the returns OF the Central with those
OF the Seaboard Air Line, and the South
ern Railway company and inquire OF the
two latter roads why their property de-
creases when the Centrars increases.
