Captain Griffin Found Dead In Atojar Evans’ Room at Co'umbia, 5. C. Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock Capiaiu John .T. Grifiln, commercial agent of the Norfolk, and Western railroad, ■was shot to death iu the rooms of Major Bernard B. Evans in Columbia, S. C. The arrest of Major Evans subsequently created a pro nonneed sensatiou. The two were alone, and occupants of adjoining apartments were at din ner. Major Evans summoned a phy sician, saying that a mau was hurt in his rooms. Dr. li. W. Gibbes found Captain Griflin lying in a dying con dition and speechless 011 Major Evans’ bed. A 44-caliber Colt’s revolver bul let had entered just above the left nipple. When Dr. Gibbes announced that Griffin was dying, he declares that Evans, who had been drinking heavi ly, became wildly excited and exclaim ed that Dr. Gibbes lied; that Dr. Gibbes and not he himself had killed Griffin. The physician, under pre text of replacing a broken instrument, managed to get out of the room, al though Evans declared that he should not do so. Dr. Gibbes summoned the police and they were refused admittance un til Judge Ernest Gary, a cousin of Evans, arrived and demanded admit tanee and submission to the officers. Evans struck Judge Gary and was taken to jail in a state of hysteria, having declared that Griffin had taken his own life. In the room were evidences of the fact that one or both of the men had been drinking. Aside from this there is no reason why Griffin should have killed himself or that Evans should have shot him. The dead man’s face was bruised on both sides and there was an abrasion of the skin on the bridge of the nose. His walking cane, clotted with blood, was several feet from where blood marks indicated that the fatal shot had taken effect. The coroner’s jury Sunday after noon rendered a verdict that to the best of its belief the death of Captain •J. J. Griffin was caused by a gunshot wound inflicted at the hands of Majoi B. B. Evans. Captain Griffin served in the confed erate army with a company from M con, Ga., and after the war entered the railroad service. He had the position of general freight agent of the Easl Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia at Atlanta, Ga., for many years, and sub sequently went to the Norfolk and Western. Two years ago he was as signed to the South Carolina territory. Major Evans is a son of Brigadier | General N. G. Evans and a nephew of I Major General Mart W. Gary, of the late Confederate army. He is a broth er of former Governor John Gary Ev and, who was adjutant general in 1898, and was himself in the Havana post office department at that time. He is well known in militia and political cir cles, having twice received a large vote for railroad commissioner. He and the present lieutenant governor, James xl. Tillman, fought a bloodless duel in Edgefield some years ago. Captain Griffin had quite a large family. He is survived by a wife and seven children, four sons and three daughters. His famiiy continued to reside in Atlanta up to a short time ago, w hen they joined him in Colum bia. There are many theories for the killing, but none have much to sup port them. It is known that Major Evans was in financial straits. Only a part of the available testi mony was brought out by the coroner, but the jury was unanimous on the first vote, and the verdict has been generally accepted as proper. THAT MANILA SCANDAL. Investigation Reveals That Charges of Big Steal Were Well Founded. A Manila special says: The trial of Sergeant Memson, the first case in the commissary scandals, began with the startling disclosures expected.

Burg hardt Dubois, of the Atlanta univer sity, discussed the negro question from opposite points of view at the afternoon session. At night. Senator Platt, of Connecticut, and Charles M. Pepper spoke on the Cuban and Porte Rican phase of the race question. In Ins address, Mr. Winston said in part: “The two races are drifting apart. They were closer together in slavery than they have been since. Old-time sympathies, friendships and affections created by two centuries ol slavery are rapidly passing away. A single generation of freedom has pro duced indifference, mistrust and prej udices. Unless a change is made the coming generation will be separated by active hatred and hostility. The condition of the negro is indeed piti fill, and his prospects for the future arc tlark and gloomy. There is no so Union for the problem, unless it is dealt with from the standpoint of rea son and experience without prejudice or fanaticism.” CUBANS RELENT. Reconsider Action In Turning Down Piatt Amendment. A special from Havanua says: At Saturday’s secret session of the con stitutional convention Senor Nunez asked that the convention either reject or accept the Platt amendment as the resolution adopted Friday was not. a formal declaration and was misleading. The conservatives considered the reso lution practically rejected the amend ment, while the radicals and the radi cal press maintained that it did not., and Senor Nunez therefore asked that a yea and nay vote be takeu. This was opposed by the radicals, who have always avoided taking a decided stand. The conservatives were pleased at the point, and as a split was threatened among the radicals, a compromise was offered and agreed to by the terms ol which a resolution was adopted that the convention should not express itself either for or against the amend ment and that a commission be sent to Washington to reach the best possible agreement with the president. This commission will not be authorized to settle definitely the question of the relations between the United States and Cuba, but will report back to the convention. OLD SOLDIERS ANUERED.

Washington Officials Think Venezu elan Minister talks Too HucTi. The interviews ascribed to Minister Loomis at San Juan have attracted much attention in Washington and the minister probably will be invited to explain some of his utterances, if he is not able to enter a broad denial of the accuracy of the interviews.
