DR.. william FOrsythe Bynum.

Live Oak mouns the death Of one
of her oldest and best citizens. She
has cause to shed tears of sincere
sorrow, for never has there lived in
Suwannee county q man more uni
versislly loved and trusted than DR..
William Forsythe Bynum.
On Monday afternoon at 8 o clock,
after a lingering illness OF several
weeks bis spirit crossed over the
river and 10 resting under the shade
of the trees.
DR.. Bynum was born iu Meclen-
burg county, Virginia, in 1926 and
was 79 years Of age. He moved to
Live Oak in 1864, and has resided
here continuously ever since. In
1854 be was married to Miss Ann
Poesy, in Worth county, Ca, to
which union two sons were born, j.
II. Il. Bynum, Of this place being
the only surviving one. His second
wife was Miss Mary j. BriDson.
His third wife was Miss Fannie P.
Anderson, who survives him.
DR.. Bynum was a member OF the
Baptist church for 81 years, and
lived a consistent christian life, He
was a Past Grand Master Mason,
and the Grand Lodge of Florida
took charge of the funeral services
Wednesday and inferred him with
the highest honors. This wos a
beautiful tribute to bis memory. i'm
asmuch as the Grand Lodge Of the
State ordered his burial as a testimo-
nial of his worth and standing, and
the entire Masonic fraternity of
Florida dedicated this day TO his
memory.
He was skilled in his profession;
consistent in his daily practice; kind
to everyone he met; charitable to
every worthy cause; honest with his
fellow man; true to every principle
of duty unyielding 70 the right and
condemning the wrong always;a low
ing husband, an affectionate father
and a citizen above reproach. Truly
such o man deserves the highest
tribute Of praise.
DR., Bynum was Chief Clerk o.
the House Of Representatives OF
Florida for fifty years and was elect
ed without opposition at nearly ev'
cry session.
This is sufficient testimony Of his
faithfulness to duty, and his popu-
larity with his fellow men, and wien
again the legislative halls shall he
opened and the representatives OF
Florida shall meet TO form laws fol
our guidance, the familiar form and
genial smile Of DR.. Bynum will ee
greatly missed. Sad, that such a
character could not live on and on
The remains were inferred IN An
tioch cemetery on Wednesday, and
many were the weeping friends who
gathered there to pay last tribute
of respect to their beloved friend

TENSION UNRELAXED.
BUT SITUATION CHANGED.
Russian AdmiraPs Report PreUents
British UItimatum.

The complications in the situation between
England and Russia are such as to puzzle
the most astute of diplomatists. Had il not
been for tho report of Vicc-Admiral 10
jestvensky, setting forth that his vessels were
led to fire by the presence of two hostile
torpedo boats near his feet, the matter would
probably have been settled by the presenta-
ton of British ultimatum if the Russian
government had not acceded to the demand
for the punishment Of her officers
The report of the Russian officers regard
ing the presence of strange torpedo boats off
the DOgger fishing banks was cOrrObOrated
by the fshermens statements Of the appear
ance of torpedo boats near them, the Russian
battleships and cruisers not having the torpedo
boats of the feet in company with them.
A report from Copenhagen set forth that the
marine authorities were informed and credited
the statement that vessels chartered by the
Japanese were at Hull, intending to attack
the Russian squadron, but the Japanese Min
lister at london denied that his government
had chartered any vessels for that purpose
The Spanish authorities allowed the Rus
sian vessels at VigO to take ON 400 tons Of
coal apiece with which to proceed to Tangier.

R0JESTVENSKY'S REPORT.
The AdmiraI Sticks to His Story OF
Foreign WarshiDs.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 2S.-The naval general
staff publishes the two dispatches from Vice.
Admiral Roiestvensky The first dispatch fol-
lows:
The North Sea incident was caused by two
torpedo boats advancing to attack. without
lights. under cover of darkness. against the
vessel leading the detachment When the de-
tachment turned on its searchIights and opened
IRE the presence of several small Steamb boats re-
sembling steam fishing boats discovered.
The detachment endeavOred to spare these and
ceased firing as soon the torpedo boats were
out of sight.
The English press is indignant because a tor
pedo boat left by the detachment on the spot
until morning did not aid the victims. Now.
there was not a single torpedo boat near the
detachment and none was lsft behind. COnsa-
CUently the vessel remaining near the small
not sunk but only damaged.
The detachment did not aid the little steam
boats because We suspected them OF compHcity.
on account OF their Obstinately cutting into the
order Of the positions of our vessels. Several
of them showed no lights and others only very
late.
The admiraPs second dispatch says:
Having met several hundred fishing boats
the squadron showed them every cOnSidera ton
except when they were in company with foreign
torpedo boats of which one disappeared while
the other. according to the fishers own evil
dence, remained among them until morning
They supposed it was "A Russian, and were In
