Monday, there was a most exciting fit between Senator Tillman and his brother George D. Tillman on the ques tion of naming a new oouuty. George D Tillman, on ttetorday, had succeed- ed in getting the county named But ler. Senator Tillman was absent at the time, and on' returning he moved to change the name to Saluda. In a passionate speech he charged Senator Butler with txlug a traitor to the par ty, and said that.to name a county af ter him was an insult to the reformers of the state. George D. Tillman, in reply, taxed his brother with fighting a man whom he had defeated, aud dramatically a trie- lug his breast, exclaimed: "Tbauk God, there is no sentiment in my heart that would make me stoop so low. ” The scene became extremely exciting aud the convention was iu wild cuu- fusion, whion continued until adjourn ment at 4:10 p. m. Senator Tillman, inhisspeeoh, taunt ed Seuator Irby with not replying to his brother, G. D.

Cairn reflection overnight on the part of the financial community at large resulted iu a oou vietton that the general outlook was such as to warrant decided caution. Outside holders of securities Were uot disposed to risk the possibility of heavy liquidation in apprehension of large withdrawals of gold for shipment next week. Up to the close of business for the the week, no news of contempt tied ex ports for next week had been reported, neither had any 'farther deposits of gold by the banks or the syndics e been made. The exchange market snowed no reflection of the heavy outgo of gold aside from an insignificant fractional decline in the rate for demand sterling. The unsettling influence of the gold exports, probabilities and discussion on the treasury situation was snpp o neat ed by rumors of pending advance in the money market. Thus far tho ft: mer tendency of money rates has only Ixen indicated on small loans. i Si ATE OFFICIALS CORRUPT.' A NtW RICHMOND. SONS OF VETERANS. «W. B.

SPAIN WILL CONQUER, Bat Sr nor lie Lome Cm ii not K Hf J u*t When Mie Will Crush the Cuban*. Washington, Sept. 14—Senor Du- pay ds Lome, Spanish minister to the United States, expressed the opinion that the rebellion in Cuba is sure to be crushed. It is impossible, lie added, to say just when, because of the condi tions that exist iu the island. The minister characterizes the metnodsem- p oyed by the rebels as guerilla war fare and declares that it will be impos sible to have a decisive battle under euoh conditions. A great deal of mil- information, he said, has been sent out by the rebels. “It is easy to account for the methods now employed by the Spanish govern ment,” said the minister. "The clim atic conditions of Cuba are very pecul iar. July, August aud September are the three great generals^for the rebels. Two are dead and the third is fast dying. These months iuclude the rainy sea-on in Cuba and the most unheal hy for the Spanish troops. It is impossible to carry on suoc< ss ally a warfare amidst pouring rains. But the Spanish government has been preparing for an aoiive campaign. The second corps of 25,000 men has been landed in Cuba. It is probable, that active movements will not begin however, until the first of October, or until some time daring that month, ac- oording-to the conditions of the weath er. It is some times asked why troops are now landed in Cuba, when they are not to be called into active service for some time yet. "The answer is plain. FromSapt. 20 until Nov. 20 is the cyclone season in the West Indies and there is great dif ficulty in transporting troops, as well as great danger of loss of life. Before the twentieth of September all the troops necessary to crush the rebellion will be landed, and as soou as the rainy season is over, an active and vigorous campaign will begin. There can be no doubt as to the outcome. The small force under the insurrectionists will be scattered and the rebellion ended.” Professor Amos G. Warner Writes an Interesting Article on The Treatment of Prisoners. Denver, Sept. 17 —A sensation has been created in the prison oougre-s by a paper on ’'Politics and Crime, ” writ ten by Amos G. Warner, piofessor of economics and social science in ths Be laud Stanford university of California, aud read by John N. Dry den of Kearn ey, Neb. "If the sta'e itself is under the influence of criminals,” said the doe- tor, boldly plunging into his subject, “how can it hope to reform criminals ? Setting a thiei to catch a thief was an oldtime doctrine, but the plan of set ting a thief to reform a thief has never yet been defended "The representatives of the state with which criminals are most fre queutly brought into contact, are po licemen, police justices, sheriffs, sher iffs’ deputies aud jail keepers, ouly a snade it at ail butter than tue criminals themselves. The hope of cure oi crim inals largely lies in curative treatment in the early stages. Petty offenders and those on the verge of criminality in the large cities seldom or never get beyond tins line ot guards aud live more or less in the»r presence. The police to them represent the slate.” The proles-or illustrated his meaning by giving detailsui tne treatment given tramps, gamblers, prostitutes and the cnmiual classes generally. The papers started a warm discussion and brought out a number of protests. Warden W. E. Hale, of San Qncutin, Cal., who for six years prior to assum ing charge ot the prison had been sheriff of Alameda county, said that ha wanted to brand some of the allega tions as to corruption iu California as falsehoods. Mr. Hale thought it was shameful for a man of the standing of the pro fessor to make suoh sweeping and gen Aa larflaua Maa Wka M'aats la tla Vioa I’miiient Next Tim*.
