EXOH?HBF OF RIFLES WILL BEGIN ?T ONCE. State WKtittHft Wi? Have Their Krags ::S.O^rfte?- : Frsst Was Adjutant General Frost returned Wednesday morning from Washington, whither he went last Sunday night on matters Of great concern to the militia of South. Carolina. He expressed him? self yesterday as ranch gratified at the result of his mission, and at the cor? dial treatment accorded him by the officials of the war department. He went on to see if ne could not arrange with the war. department for an immediate exchange of old for new rifles and uniforms for the militia, saving the freight bills for two ship? ments.. He called to see the secretary of war in company with Senator Latimer, and W5S received by Assistant Secre? tary of War Sanger in the absence of Secretary Root. Geni Frost says he was warmly received and after going over the provisions of the new act of congress it was determined that Southi Carolina could at once proceed to ex? change, the Springfield rifles and cart? ridges for the new Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifles. The requisition will go forwatd shortly. Tnt* secretary -of war has been so busy since the adjournment of congress that he has been unable as yet to place contracts for the furnishing of the new regulation olive drab uni? forms, consequently they will not be issued for some time. The department, however, has allowed Gen. Frost to make requisition for khaki uniforms and campaign hats for the State mili? tia for the summer. This requisition will be sent on at once. The present blue uniforms will-?e continued in the service until' the olive drab suits are available. Gen. Frost asked for authority to loan to certain schools- in the State, not having commandants of cadets, some of the old Springfield rifles. He was informed that this could not be done ; that the law only allows the war department to loan rifles to military academies having regular army officers stationed at them' as commandants, and then only upon the filing of an application and a bond fom the tustees of such institutions; that the State cannot loan rifles at ail. This will mean that the Citadel's supply of Krag-Jorgensen rifles will have to be ' called in by the adjutant general soon, and another supply secured in the re? gular way. Under the Dick act also the ex? change of equipments provided for applies only to rifles f and cartridges and not to tents or camp equipage. Gen. Frost also made inquiries about the stationing of an army officer in the office of the ad jutant general. Upon secretary Root's return the department will determine whether to detail active army officers to these positions or ' re? tired officers. ? Gen. Frost talked interestingly of the new uniform regulations of the army. There will henceforth be three styles of uniforms for officers. The first will be the full dress, with frock coat and gold braid in abundance, a heavily gold braided cap and a chappeau. The latter will never be worn while the officer is in the saddle. The dress uniform will be exactly like the present blue fatigue uniform, with the exception that the caps will have bell crowns. The infantry officers will 320 longer wear whit3 stripes on their trousers, but a lighter shade of blue instead. The new olive drab uniform will be the same for officers as for privates save that a small strap will be worn by officers on each shoulder, and the leggins will be leather instead of can? vas. No trouser stripes will be worn by officers with this uniform. ?t is the latter uniform that will be used exclusvely in the service in this State. The members of the gov? ernor's staff alone will wear the dress uniform. All other officers^ will wear the olive drab regulation.?-The State. The Stomach is the Man.

Oil Mills Made Little. Jackson, Miss., March 9.-According to statement from leak, i ag managers the cotton oilmill season in Mississippi, which is now drawing to a close , has not been a profitable one, the high price of seed being out of proportion to the market price of the finished products. The chief cause for depres? sion of the market is said to be the weak demand for export oil. All of the mills in the State will be closed by the 1st of April, and a number are preparing to close within the next few days. About forty mills have been in active operation during the season, and the refined products turned out are estimated in valae at about $25, 000,000. A HAPPY HOME Is one where health abounds.

Winthrop Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, Collecting Photographs- of Confederate Monuments. The Winthrop Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy hace a plan.for sceuring pictures of the Con? federate monuments over the State. ? short*time ?go Col. J. D. Blend? ing, an old veteran of two wars, pre? sented the Winthrop college library frith a handsomely framed picture of the monument in Sumter which bears the inscription, "The Women of Sum tre Bistrict to their Confederate Dead, December 20; I860:". - v?t is ?; be??itful picture with a hand? some black and; gilt frame. Col. Blandinas?gift" was greatly appreciat? ed, and it suggested the idea of a corner set apart in the library for Confederate relics and pictures such as this. At the suggetsion of Col. Blanding the president of the chapter has written to the different chapters over the State wherever there is a monument and requested them to send ,a picture of their monument. The pictures are to be hung in a group, with the picture of the monument in front of "the capitol in Columbia as centerpiece, and at the top a picture of the monument, which we hope will in the near future be erected to the women of the south. We hope every chapter will follow the example of those who have already complied with our request and send a picture of their monument to add to onr col? lection.-Winthrop College, Cor. The State. SETTLERS' RATES SOUTH. Special Coast Line Tickets From the North and West. The passenger department of the Atlantic Coast Line has issued a cir? cular giving one-way settlers' rates from the Ohio and Mississippi River gateways and points north and east of there to the Southeastern territory. The rate for settlers is one-half of the standard one-way fare, plus $2. Tickets will be on sale as follows: March 3 and 17; April 17 and 21 : May 5 and 19; June 2 and 16 ; July 7 and 21 ; August 4 and 18 ; September 1 and 15 ; October 6 and 20 ; November 3 and 17, limited to continuous passage. The circulars cover almost the "entire Southern territory. Speaking of the Atlantic Coast Line, General Passenger Agent Craig says: "It is the greatest trucking road in America, and it provides every facility for getting farm, gar? den and orchard products to the Northern markets in the best possible condition, in shortest time and at lowest rates. " Another circular issued by General Pasenger Agent Craig calls attention to the sale of home-seekers' excur? sion tickets on the same date as given the one-way settlers. These tickets are sold to the leading cities, within easy access of the settling dis? tricts, and are offered at one first class fare, plus $2. They are good for all destinations in South Carolina, but passengers for South Carolina wijl be routed to Columbia and Charleston only. From these two cities, however, the settlers will be able to reach the t ruck-grown i ng sec? tions, as well as other locations where they may be impressed with the facilities for planting. All tickets will have a final time limit of seven? teen days. RIOT IN" KANSAS CITY. Caused by Striking Teamsters Who Demand Higher Wages. Kansas City, Mo, March ll.-Vio? lence entered today into the strike of 211 drivers employed by the fourteen transfer companies of the city, who went out this morning for an increase in wages and recognition of their union. Perhaps half a hundred men were employed during the day to take the places of the strkers, though but little work was accomplished by them. During the afternoon strikers and their sympathizers gathered in large unmbers at several points in the west bottoms and held up wagons driven by non-union men. At the Bur? lington freight depot the police were forecd to draw their revolvers to dis? perse a crowd that had cut the traces of teams hitched to two loaded wagons. At another point Geo. B. Evans, an j employee of the American Express I Company, in attempting to disperse a crowd that was throwing stones at a driver, fired a shot into the ground, N. N. Latin, a striker, interfered and made a move to draw a knife, when both men were arrested. Mrs. Evans, wife of the man arrest? ed, struck with a whip the leaders of a crowd that interfered with the course of a wagon on which she was riding. Later Mrs. Evans took charge of a wagon belonging to the Swofford Dry Goods Company and unaided drove the team through the crowd. Her pro? gress was uninterrupted. In Mulberry street, between 9th and 10th, during the afternoon, a crowd blockaded the thoroughfare and threw stones at the non-union drivers. Much excitement prevailed and the police were kept busy. -Ill ? How a Church Made 723 Per Cent. Mt. Morris, N. i\, March 9.-One year ago the Rev. Walter A.

Their Methods Would Not Exactly Suit air American Housewife. From my friends here I learn that mach of the patriarchal system of living still prevails even in Manila, a writer in The Outlook says. In some large houses there are from twenty to thirty dependdents of all degrees, from relations to cooks and scullions. These persons live about the house, sleeping in corners, and are clothed and fed by the mistress. They marry, have chil? dren and raise them in a harum-scarum way that would drive an American woman to an insane asylum. Again and again I have seen in one of the finest houses here small naked chil? dren asleep behind the parlor door, while large-eyed, placid women nursed babies quite unbashed as tfcfley crouch? ed on the floor in the hallways. Tlese servants have their home, their cloth? es, food and from three to five pesos a month. In a way, I suppose, they earn this money, as they nonchalantly polish the hardwood floors or careless? ly flap the dust from the center of tables and chairs. They sit on the floor in kitchens in front of a pan of water and wash the dishes that are piled up around them, and stack them edgeways along the wall to dry. Surely their ways are not ours, and it is a shock to the nerves to see a kitchen in the heat of preparation for a banquet of which on6 is to partake later. It requires some skill to pass between the various dish? es being prepared on the floor, where cats and dogs and babies, meats and fruits and vegetables, seem hoplelessly jumbled up. I always forget about it later, for a deliciouss dinner will almost always come forth from the chaos. Many of these servants have lived all their lives in one family. They feel themselves dependent on their masters, and the idea of their going away or being dismissed- never occurs to either master or servant. There is consequently a family feel? ing between them, and a freedom of intercourse that we, democrats though we are, Would not tolerate. A friend told me that his head servant always remonstrates with him, when he dis? approves any course of action, and sometimes I have witnessed an alter? cation between a mistress and maid in which thejnaid prevailed. At one house, I remember, there was a differ? ence of opinion at dinner as to the kind of wine to be served, and the servant had his way ; yet they are not considered imertinent by their mas? ters. MILLIONS IN TOBACCO. Enormous Profits Shown by the Three Tobacco Trusts. 1 New York, March ll.-The annual meeting of the stockholders of the American Tobacco Company was held today in Jersey City.

Hoke, of the Clay Hill neighborhood, left at The Enquirer office on Monday some potatoes that were saved in accordance with the plan outlined by a correspondent of the News and Courier last fall and republished in The Enquirer. Mr. Hoke says the plan struck him as be? ing practical, and although he had but a small crop of potatoes he deter? mined to make a trial. He put eight bushels of potatoes in a trench five feet long, two feet wide and three feet deep. Then he covered the potatoes with a hip roof of boards, covered with earth to a depth of six or eight inches, and dug a trench around the sides for drainage. The heavy rains came along and some water> got into the potatoes. As the result of this he made a better covering for the roof. He went into the potatoes a few days ago, and with the exception of a half bushel that had rotted he found them in first-class condition. Mr. Hoke is satisfied that the trench plan is the thing, lt is not only the most economical, but the most effec? tive way of keeping potatoes through ??.he winter.-Yorkville Enquirer. Major Charles H. Smith ("Bill Arp") and his wife celebrated the 54th anniversary of their marriage at their home at Carterville, Ga., on Sunday. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., has recently published figures to show that at thirty-five years old the earning capacity of a man with common school education and special training for his work is twelve and a half times greater than that of an il? literate and untrained man : that the earning capacity of a man with high school education and training is twen? ty-five times greater than that of the illiterate and untrained man; that the earning capacity of a man with col? lege education and traning its thirty seven and a half times greater than that of the illiterate and untrained man, and the earning capacity of aman with university education and training is fifty times greater than tbat of the illiterate and untrained man. So that the value to the commonwealth of the man with university education and proper training for his business is fifty times greater than the value of the illiterate and untrained man.

Hnghson & Co. PUBLIC DEBTS OF SMALL STATES Argentina Protests Against the Co? ercive Collection Of Such Debts, Because the Credi? tor Always Takes Into Account The Probability of Payment When he Makes his Bargain. Washington, March ll.-The follow? ing statement was given ont tonight at the legation of the. Argentine Re? public : "Recent publications referring to the note of instruction sent by the Argentine Government to its minister in Washington. Dr. Garcia Mexico, in regard to some of the features of the Venezuelan incident, give the erroneous impression that Argentine asked for an alliance with the United States, and that its proposal was re-: jected by the Secretary of State. ''In fact the dispatch of Dr Drago, minister of foriegn relations for the Argentine Republic, aimed only to ex? plain to his diplomatic agent in Wash? ington the views of his home Govern? ment relative to the coercive collec? tion of public debts of American States by European nations, and in? structed him to convey those views to Seccretary Hay, expressing his hope that the doctrine of international public law set forth by the Argentine ! Governments should prove acceptable to the United States. "Taking into consideration the real character pf many of the obligations contracted by the Governments of the minor South American republics, the Argentine Government has felt that there is great danger to the peace of the continent if the compulsory de? mand of immediate payment of public debts, or national obligations, is to ?>e accepted in silence, without dis? crimination, as a right of the stronger Powers of Europe to control and domi? nate the weaker and struggling States of Central and South America. "On this point the Argentine minis? ter of foreign relations in his note re? marks that the capitalist who supplies any money to a foreign State always takes into consideration-the resources of the country and the more or less probability that the obligations will be filled without difficulty. Dr. Drago says further on this: 'The compulsory and immediate demand fer payment at a given moment of a pub? lic debt by means of force would not produce other than the ruin of the weaker nations and the absorption of their Government altogether with all its inherent faculties by the powerful nations of the earth.' Dr. Drago also cites enunciations by Hamilton and provisions of the Constitution of the United States in this connection. "Dr. Drago explicitly disclaims any intention to defend bad faith or irre? gularities and deliberate and voluntary insolvency. 'We do not pretend, neither can we pretend, ' he says, 'that these nation shall occupy an exception? al position in their relations with the European Powers, who have the undoubted right to protect their sub? jects a? amply as in any other part of the globe against prosecution or from any injustice they may have been vic? tims of. The only thng that the Ar? gentine Republic maintains is the principle already accepted that there cannot be European territorial expan? sion in America or oppression of the peoole of this continent, because their unfortunate financial condition might oblige one of them to put off the fulfilment of its obligations. The principle which we maintain is that a public debt cannot give rise to an armed intervention, and much less to the territorial occupation of the soil of American nations by any European Power." "Complying with his instructions Minister Meron left a copy of the com? munication received from his minister of foreign relations with the Secretary of State. In his reply Mr. Hay did not express assent or dissent to the doctrine of public law set forth in the note of the Argentine minister of foreign relations. He cited the minister to the messages of the President of December 3, 1901, and December 2, 1902. "Secretary Hay stated further that 'advocating and adhering in practice in questions concerning itself to the re? sort of international arbitration in the settlement, of controversies not adjust? able by the orderly treatment of dip? lomatic negotiation, the Government of the United States would always be glad to see the questions of the justice of claims by one State against an? other, growing out of individual wrongs or national obligations, as well as the guarantees for the execution of whatever award may be made, left to the decision of an impartial arbitral tribunal, before which the litigant nations, weak and strong alike, may stand as equals in the eye of interna? tional law and mutual duty. ' "One of the more important features of the Argentine note is the recogni? tion and endorsement given by the Government of that Republic to the Monroe doctrine, which for the first time is acknowledged and accepted as a principle of American public law by a nation of South America." Vera Cruz, Mex., March H.-Large shipments of Mexico coffee are going from this port to New York. The staamer Havana, of the Ward Line, carried a record-breaking cargo of 1, 350,000 pounds of coffee, and the Es? peranza, of the same line, will leave lor New York with nearly an equal amount. Developments in the coffee market have convinced merchnts here tbat there is no immediate hope for a rise in prices, but on the contrary the tendency will be lower and they are making all haste to unload their sur? plus. ? Arcadia, Fla.r March IL-This morning the jury trying the case of the State against L E.

Williams, made a motion for a new trial, claim? ing that the indictment was defective and alleging as a ground the refusal of Judge Wall to give the instructions requested by the d?fonce on the ques? tion of an alibi. Judge Wail denied the motion, and the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. At 2 o'clock Judge Wall sentenced Cooper t) b hanged. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR RUSSIA. THE PUBLIC HAILS IT AS A PROCLAMATION OF A NEW ERA. lt Is Believed That the Liberty Granted to all Creeds is In? tended to Include the Jews. St.^ Petersburg, March 12.-The czar has issued a decree providing for freedom of religion throughout his dominion, establishing to some degree local self government and making other concessions to the village com? munities. The decree, which was issued in commemoration of the anniversary of the birthday of Alexander UL, is considered to be the most significant act of state since the emancipation of the serfs. The public hails it as the proclamation of a new era, opening' upon bright prospects of the yearly improvement of Eussian internal ad? ministration. THE TEXT OF THE DECREE. "The troubles agitating our country, which to our deep regret have partly been sown by designs hostile to the state and partly engendered by doc? trines foreign to Russian life, hinder the general work of ameliorating the well being our people. These troubles confuse the public mind, remove the people from productive labor, and often ruin farnilies dear to our heart and young energies, among high and low, necessary to the internal develop? ment of the country. In demanding the fulfillment of this our will, while, remaining strongly opposed to any violation of the normal course of na? tional life and having confidence that all will loyally discharge their local duties, we are irrevocably decided to satisfy the needs for which the state has become ripe and have deemed it expedient to strenghen and decree the undeviating observance of the prin? ciples of tolerance laid down by the fundamental laws of the Russian em? pire, which, recognizing the orthox church as the ruling one, grant to all our subjects of other religions and to all foreign persuasions freedom of creed and worship in accordance with other rites, and we are further resolved to continue the active carrying out of measures for the improvement of material position of the orthdox rural clergy, while enabling them to take a larger share in intellectual and public life. "In accordance with impending measures for the consolidation of the national economy the efforts of the state credit institutions and especially the nobles, and peasants banks should be directed to strengthening and de? veloping the welfare and fundamental pillars of Russian village life and that of the local nobility and peasantry. These principles marked out by us for the revision of the laws of the rural population are, when formulated, to be referred to the provincial government councils, so that with the assistance of persons enjoying the public's con? fidence they may be further developed and adapted to the special conditions of individual localities. In this work the fundamental principle of the in? violability of communal property is to be maintained, while at the same time means are to be found to render it easier for the individual to sever con? nections with the community to which he belongs if he so desired. "Without delay measures must be taken to release the peasants from the present burdensome liability of forc? ed labor. "Thorough reform is to be effected in the provincial governments and dis? trict administrations by the local rep? resentatives, while attention will be devoted to securing closer cooperation between the communal authorities and parochial trustees of ths orthodox churches wherever possible. "Calling upon ail our subjects to cooperate in strengthening the moral foundations of family, school and public life, under which alone the well being of the people and the con? fidence of every one in the stability of his rights can develop, we command our ministers and chief officials con? cerned in this matter to submit to us their views regarding the execution of our intentions." Although the Jewish faith is not specifically mentioned in the czar's decree, it is believed that the liberty granted to "all creeds" is intended to include the Jews. The publication of the czar's decree has produced a universal feeling of joyful excitement and is tonight the chief topic of conversation in every public resort. It is generally attrib? uted to the emperor's earnest desire to remove the causes which recently pro? duced such deplorable outbreaks among the workmen and students. Fears, however, are expressed that the pow? erful party of reaction led by Minister of the Interior Pleb ve may delay or frustrate the realization of the czar's aspirations, but great hopes are based on the known fact that Finance Min? ister Witte is a strong advocate of whatever reforms he considers the country ripe for. In any case months must elapse before the pro? jected reforms can be put into execu? tion. It is understood that the czar desires to modify the laws by relax? ing the penalties against dissenters like the students, but that no at? tempt will be made to repeal the law compelling children to be brought up in the orthodox church unless both parents belong to some other denomi? nation. The paragraph in the decree propos? ing to refer the reforms to the pro? vincial government councils is by many regarded as pointing in the di? rection of constitutional government. It is remarked that the decree does not mention the removal of the re? strictions on the press. For the mo? ment, however, among the general public all the difficulties are forgotten in the spirit of thankfulness at the pros? pect of the dawn of a new era. --^*nm>- ???-.-? ~mmm Washington, March 12.-The senate committee on commerce today decided to postpone action on the nomination of Dr. W.
