Gov Conner has not yet decided

MORNING SESSION.
Hearing of Evidence FOR state is
Commenced.

The trial of this heart-breaking, I'M
fortunate and most unhappy lawsuit,
is beginning to give an earnest of
what is to come. The presence of
woman, sad faced, black robed, tear
ful-eyed woman, arrayed, not against
each other but in defense of their
own gives the pathetic colofing to
almost every trial wherein the life or
liberty of man is involved; for there
is no man, young or old or however
wayward, but some loyal, loving wo-
mans heart is made to bleed for every
offense that he commits or for every
wound that another gives to him.
In the court room this morning
and throughout all these weary days
doubtless they will come and stay and
suffer,-were the sister of the defen-
dant, Mrs Hugh Foster Of Union
Springs, Alabama, accompanied by
her aunt, Mrs. Agnes Kittrell; while
sitting on the other side among the
attorneys for the state was Mrs. Mat
tie Long, mother of the young man
who was slain, and the prosecutor.
Bent with age and sorrow, her fea-
lures hidden behind heavy black
veil, her mean and dress and manner
all bespoke the sorrow that had en-
tered into her life.
The train bringing Judge Hart from
Nashville, was late this morning, and
1t was one quarter past ten before the

TERRIFIC BATTLE
TRENCH WIN sPIENDID VICTORY
 OVER 1zOORs.
The Engagemcnt Occurred rs . Ravine Wsth Many of the Arabs Killed and Twenty Preach Sei-
 dicrs Wounded.

Tangier. Jan. is--News has reached here of a terrific ten hour engage- ment in a ravine near Settat yester- day. between a French column under the command of General DAmade and a column commanded by Mulai Raehid. forces. The French gaihed splendid victory in the face of heavy odds. suc- ceeding in dispersing the enemy and occupying settat. Twenty of the French soldiers were wounded but
 many of the Arabs were killed. The latter not only offered a dogged and fearless defense, but returned repeat- edly to the battle after they had been routed and attacked by the French from three sides.
 In the later hours of the lighting. Mulai Hafd's column was suddenly reinforced, by the powerful Chaouia tribe, which figured in the massacres at Casa Blanca and which had arrived from the mountains at the very mo- ment when Mulai Rachid was about to retreat.
 Under the combined charge of the now-confident Moors, the French not only held their ground. but steadily threw back the enemy, driving them eventually in mad haste to the hills. The engagement between the French and the Moors followed immediately upon a twenty-ivo hour march of Gen eral D'Armade's column, and under these trying circumstances the French forces are considered to have shown more than ordinary stamina and bray cry. The French wounded include three officers.
 After destroying the camp of the enemy at Settat. General D'Armade pushed forward and occupied Kasbah Berrohid.

ChaneeIIox von BueIow Speaks At the
 Prwnmfmm Diet.

Herlin..Jan. Ie--Chanceilor von /Bue- low spokeNn the Prussian Diet today in support of Authorizing the government to enforce the sale to the so-eaIted set- clement commission Of lands in Prus- sian Poland held by the Poles. in order that Germans might be settled upon them with the aid of the State.
 The Chancellor said that if the Ger maniEation of Poland was to continue this measure must be adopted. It was a sharp weapon, he said. but the ait. nation in Poland required that 1t be used. In conclusion. Prince von Bue- low thanked the national liberals and the two conservative parties for their support
 The Chancellor was interrupted frer ouentIy by the Polish members of the Diet with murmura and ironical re- marks.
 It appears certain that the bill will pass the Diet by large majority.
 While the measure was being con sidered in the Prussian Diet the mem bers of the Reiehstag were discussing it from the constitutional standpoint. {. The socialists and the Poles contesed the bill as barbarous and reactionary and as putting an end to progress In the Poliah provinces. On the other hand. the supporters of the government were of the opinion that the existence. security and peace of the Empire de- nended upon the measure.
