Li: ? iV}..iure of lo-dcy's meeting was the story of the f.^at at Wounded Knee, v.h ch was told by Turning Hawk, and American Horse. In beginning :iis story Turning Ilav. k described n picturesque language how "a certain falsehood," the Messiah erase a;: J ghost dance, came to his agency from the west, and how,after a time, he-ring of the approach of soldier.-. and frightened because of ir, the Iiidii-.ns <kd into the :>ad Laud, and how Lr.t-v v.-(-re induced to return by their iriends. Ti.rnii-g Ilawk then continued: ' \\ hen our people, who had been frightened away, were returning to l'me ltidge, and when they had almost reached the agency, they were met by soldiers and surrounded and linailv tsken to Wounded Knee Creek, and triers at a given time their guns were demanded, and when they had deliverer them up Ihe nun were separated from their families, from their tepees and taken to a certain spot, their guns having been given up. "Vvhtn the guns were thus taken, and the men thus separated there was a crazy uian, a young man of very I ad influence, and in face nobody, among a bunch of Indians, fired his gun, and of course tl.e tiring of the gun must have been the breaking of a miliary rule of som<; so.t, because immediately the soldiers reiumeu the fire, and an indiscriminate killing foil v.ved." The commissioner here interrupted to ask: "Did the man fire at the soldiers. or did he simply shoct in the air?" ittfrl TI?-kT?#?- ??hnf. an nftinpr in (the army. The first shot killed this officer. I was a. voluntary scout at that encounter, and 1 had just asserted that I saw exactly what was done, and that was wba: I noticed, that the first shot killed an officer." Ccmn issioaer: "Did the soldiers return the fire immediately, or did the Indians keep tip their firiDgV" ?:<jtt'. d Horse: "As soon as the first shoi .vas fired the Indians immediately L-.-ga:i drawing their knives, and they were exhorted from all side to desist*, bui. this was not obeyed. Consequently the firing began immediately en U.e part oi the soldiers." Turuirg Hawk: "All the men who wero in the lunch were killed right ther.-,those who escaped that first fire got into a ravine, and as they went along up the ravine for a long distance ?!,<_ 'ovMrciio/! r>n ttr s;ril ' diers an.; shot down, us the dead bodies shoved -/iterwards." __ ^^ Ccmru.ssicner: "In this light did the woman takeany part?" .

Turn;j:3~ rfKwk: lli tfiink a man vwwud be very blind if he could not tell: be difference between a man and a woman. I have told you that the women were i-tandinjj oil "at a different place fixm tii.it where the men were stationed, and when the firing began those ol the men who escaped the lirst onslaught went in one direction up the (ravme, i i:cl then the women, who were bunched together at another place, went an entirely different direction ?- through an open Held, and the women fan d the same fate as the men ;vho went up the deep ravine." Commissioner, to Interpreter: "Tell * those that are present I would like if he (Turning Hawk) makes any s'atemeni which they do not accept that they will correct it. I want to get at the truth." American Jlorse: "The men were sepuiiited. ;.s has already been said, from the women, and they were sur-i rounded by soldiers. Then came the next village of Indians, and that was entirely surrounded by soldiers also.

These Door ! Indian people did not have that oppor- < tunity to protect and fight for them-. ' selves. If that is an indication of the spirit of a number of men in that company 1 am sure the Tth cavalry cannot be free from any charge of going there with other than the kindest of motives simply to bring these poor people back."

Twenty-Seven Years in Bed. Mitchell. Ind., Feb. 3.?Mitchell j has the most stubborn man in the country. ^bout twenty-seven years ago i ihcrc lived near Paoli, Ind., a family of ( colored people named Bond, consisting c of mother, two daughters aud a son \ | Darned John. They were in comforta- t I ble circumstances, owning their own ? j farm, &c. The mother decided to sell \ the farm, but upon making her decision , known to the children, met with opposi- { tion from her son, who declared if the farm was sold he would go to bed and \ never get up again. But no attention c was paid to his threat. The farm was } was so Id and the family moved to ] MitchelJ. The first night they staid m t their new home John went to bed as usual. but in the morning refused to rise, c and has stubbornly fulfilled his threat r for about twenty-S'jven years, with one c j exception, that be nu at the time of the L deatit of his mother. At first Bond's h ("1CI1 /.nnci/lortihlo Crttlinipnt and i _ | ph\sicians examined him and iu perfect ? health. AH efforts were made to get him t out of bed. but every scheme proved j futi!e. V.'hen told the house was on lire c or that, burglars had broken in, he made j no effort whatever to arise. For the ? last few. years his health has been grad- { uallv failing, acd he lied with his head | and" body covered, speaking to no one j unless spokeu to. The Hiccoughing; Girl Saved. y in'c.tam.

London, Feb. 11.?The SI Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Tele-1 jraph telegraphs important facts in con- i lection with the possible result of tho j eturn by the Czar, without comment, >f the Guild Hall memorial in favor of; ,he unfortunate suffering Hebrews of Russia. He says: 1'British sympathy has aggravated the 1 Jews' hard lo , which was already so j svretched that it seemed impossible for [ t to be woy.se'. Yet provincial govern- j >rs have redoubled the severity of the j aws. Wherj the statutes were inappli-j ;able the governors have issued circu- i ars and ukases to replace them. The Jews bitterly repent the British wellneaning but injudicious zeal which has ixasperated instead of soothing the Rus- j sian JJmr. 'ij^e daily severity nnic,iced against toeTaillllilAi1 WWlOfjii'T nen, women and children are incredible j ind wanton. I ' Russia's reply to the Lord Mayor's respectful petition consists of secret cir- j ;ulars ordering her officials to rigorously j ulminister the anti-semitic laws and to I supply legal deficiency by their own de- j visions harmonious with the Govern- j nent's intolerant spirit. The Poles, al- i ;er the rebellion of 1S64, were less cruilly and less inhumanly treated than the Tews after the London indignation meet* Ag. k'Gen Gurko, Governor of Warsaw, las issued a circular regulating how Jewish recruits are to be brought 1'or | nedical inspection. The Jews, through ;he wretched lives they are forced to ead, are physically degenerate and become the most striking embodiment of luman life continuing in spite of the gradual decay of the vital functions, rhe majority ot Jewish recruits are found ;o be unfit for service. In the event of Christians being found unfit to perform :he duties of a soldier they are sent home md are finally released from military service. Jewish recruits, on the other land, are worried to death. They are sent nome ana are suDject uurmy a pci- j od of three years to be recalled at any nomenton suspicion ol'malingericg. A recruit consequently returns to his home, hundreds of miles away, resumes his :>ccupation and a month later is suddenly ordered to reappear for medical examination. This process is repeated at ntervals of a few months during three years. Gen Gurko considers this method to beinsuflicient, as it !??aves the Jewsh conscript the option of transporting limself, on foot or otherwise, to the town ,Yhere the medical committee sits, and jives him dangerous liberty and oppor.unity to simulate illness. The result s that thenceforth the police are orderid to convey the Jews on foot to the town where the committee sits. The police are to arrest and imprison the recruits until a convict srang arrives, ?~ thrt .Villi WL11UI wicy iuc ytuwtu ?.v lext prison in company with murderers md the dregs of society until they reach ,heir destination. ''Young mea beginning life are subect to a repetition of this process during ,hree years, until the youth wishes himself a soldier, serf or gaily slave to save limself from the society of murderers and .hieves, who, while Jewish recruits are in their gang, have the power of lite or leath over them, can blackmail them, svhip them, maim them, even kill them ivith impunity. The victims are frequently in delicate health and include consumptive patients whom Kussian loctors declare are unable to bear the wardships of military service." An Interesting Exhibit. Washington, Feb. 11.?The estinates of the numbers and values of farm mimals made at the end ol each year and eturnable in January to the Departnent of Agriculture have been consohiated.

AVattcrson's letter was prompt- ! ed solely by his own convictions and without the least ? consultation with j any one. It is as loiiows: |. "CouiiiEu-JounNAL OrriCE," j mi Louisville, Xov.21, 1800. M i'?i 1 i',b" leave to address you tlTis letter" "Olib d some millions of Democrats who never sought or held oflice, and who could , not be induced to do so, but who are deeply concerned in the party welfare and who believe you to hold the key to it. Outside of the State of New York there is a well nigh unanimous demand among the rank arid file of the Demo- ' crats for the nomination of Cleveland. This is too strong1 for party leaders and managers to resist. I think I have some iniluence in Kentucky, but on that point I should be overwhelmed in the State convention. If you should come to the National Convention vrith , the New York delegation solid against it, you would be overwhelmed. You , are powerless to prevent it; but you can defeat the election of the ticket. "There are Democrats in everv Dart of the Union who believe that you (lid this in 1888. 1 know that to be false. I know exactly what happened and have steadily defended you in public and in private. But it will cling: to you ' as long as you live?even as the bargain, intrigue and corruption story clung to Clay?and will meet you in every national convention, if it be not dissipated by some act on your part great enough to blot it out. In defease of this, if you have any hope of the Presidency, it will defeat that. "My judgment is clear that if you could*reconcile it with your judgment . and feeling to make peace with Cleveland and to take the delegation to the . National Convention in 1S92, to put , him in nomination, you will save the ( paiiv aju uian: >uuiouii. u|/uu ?u , tion you can never attain if you fail to do it. You would be received by the , country with enthusiasm; be accepted ! at once* as a Warwick, and L do not see how you could be kept out ot' succes sion." On the other hand, even if you j succeeded in deteating the nomination ( of Cleveland, you will stand upon sin- . ister and dangerous ground, with a stormy future before you. "These are plain words and 1 have no relations with you which give me the right to offer" you counsel. They ' may be disagreeable words and I have ( no desire to obtrude upon your privacy. But they are true words, and I claim j ( the right of a Democrat who has some j. knowledge of the country at large and has given some proof of intelligent de- , votion to party interest to ignore cere- ' mony and send them to you. In con- ! elusion, let. nie sav that I shall in any i event be glad to know you better, and that meanwhile I am" most sincerely , your friend. "(Signed) IIenuy Wattersox. "The Hon. David JJ. Hill."

Watterson is a good Demo crat and a gentleman, aDd 1 believe him incapable of addressing any such in- 1 suiting and impertinent communication to me.

AVatterson Wrote It. 1 Louisville, Feb. 12.?Mr. Walterson did write that letter to Governor : Ilill. This afternoon he prepared the ; following statement for the press: "I wrote tiie letter to Governor Ilill, 1 and I was impelled to do so by motives the sincerest and most disinterested. 1 There appeared in many of the great newspapers last .Sunday a sensational account of how a caucus of United j Statf-s senators had resolved upon retir- : iDg Governor Ilill from the Presidential arena, of how I had been selected ' as the instrument of these senators,{and ; of howl had dispatched him a letter potent enough to alter his plans. , Whence this story emanated, I cannot ' divine; but it is so absurd, and did such injustice to both (Joyernor Hill and ; myself, that I. thought, as 1 still think, , that there could be no objection on the , part of anybody to the publication of . the truth, which llutly contradicted it. "I was induced to this by the circum- 1 stance tint Governor ITill had seemed to have adopted a course suggested by ; considerations alike honorable to his I! character and creditable to his judg-1 i orient, the more so,indeed, since the iet-1, ffr m nn?st.ion furnished him and his :. friends impartial testimony to answer i, md refute a most odious and widely L circulated calumny. "1 confess that 1 am surprised that the governor should make such haste to disavow and disown a course which, however prompted, gratified every ( Democrat in the United States outside \ the state of New York, removing him ; it once from the field of mere political I scheming and self-seeking, and placing trim in the front rank o!' statesmen \ having tli'; good of their country and |j party at heart. h "1 ani equally distressed by the repre-1< sensation that Gov. Hill should regard i my plain but friendly words as impertinent aud insulting, i did not so in- j tend them. I cannot help thinking the , same words might be, with propriety, tddressed to him or any Democratic as- j ] pi rant by the humblest Democrat in J; the land, and i still hope that, annoyed . hv m niil?lins>tinn which nnnoved me as ! well, he has proceeded on a misappre- < tension of facts of the case. \ "1 can assure him that neither in the writing nor printing of the letter was there any purpose to take advantage of him, and least of all to do him injustice. I am no man's man, and exist in do man's interest. To use his own hap-1: py expression "I am a Democrat" who has passed a lifetime in service of principles and policies l'rom which 1 have never sought the slightest personal recognition or reward. lam only humiliated by the rejection that this service was not sullicient in the estimation of j Governor Hill, to protect me against!; his displeasure, arid that in the harsh | construction which he puts upon a! genuine, and not a forged letter, he visits me with what I must regard as unmerited suspicion.

The Ex-President j \v$5te as follows: 8VJ Madison Avenue, Feb. 10,181)1. ?"K. Ellery Anderson?My Dear Sir: 1 have this "afternoon received your note inviting me to attend to-morrow evening a meeting called for the purpose | ol voicing the opposition of the bus:-) Dess men of our city to the l'ree coinage j' of silver in the United .States. I shall i not he able to attend and address the ! meeting as you request, but 1 am glad j that the business interests 01 ew York are at last to be heard on the subject. It surely cannot be necessary for me to make formal expression of my j1 agreement with those who believe that i the greatest perils would be initiated j by the adoption of the scheme em- j: braced in the measure now pending in Congress for an unlimited coinage of I Silver at our mints. If we have devel- j oped an unexpected capacity for the assimilation of a largely increased volume of currency, and even if we have h demonstrated the usefulness of such ah j increase, these conditions fall far short | of insuring us against disaster if in the prerent situation we enter upon the dangerous aud reckless experiment of free, unlimited and independent silver coinage. Yours very truly. i Geoveu Cleveland. The following resolutions were passed unanimously: Resolved, That the first requirement 1 of a sound metalic currency is that its value shall be permanently "stated. liesolved. That the equality of value between 4123a grains of standard sil- 1 ver and 25 N grains of standard gold asserted in the bill for the free coinage of silver is untrue in fact, is contradicted by the record of the market price i or silver ouiiion lor many years uriu cannot be sustained, against the tinancial policy of all civilized naMons. liesolved, That the free coinage of silver on the basis of equality of value at the ratio stated, in our judgment, j will cause a premium on g:;ld and its 1 immediate banishment from circula- 1 tion, and will debase the v; lueof our i :lollar to the bullion value oT the silver : it contains. ' llesolved, That the proposed debase- ^ meat of our currency is dishonest, it 1 will impair private and public credit, ] it will confuse and hamper our commercial relations with goid paying ' countries, it will curtail legitimate ] business, it will violate the obligations ' i'f existing contracts and disastrously i ifleet many industries. I'. will full ] with peculiar severity on depositors in savings banks and trust companies, ' and those holding life insrrance and! J mutual benefit policies. It will lessen 1 the purchasing power of money in j < which are paid the earnings of laborers,11 ind of the salaried classes. It will ; benefit no one except the temporary 1 Dwners of silver or silver mines, who may secure an enhanced price for their ( nroduct and nronerties. and the holders ' Df gold or of gold values at financial i centres, who would be enabled to dis- 1 iharge their obligations on debased i currency and retain the advantage of ; the premium oil gold. J ltesolved, That we shall oppose with 1 all the means at our command the pending bill, or any one which favors < the free coinage, of silver without the 1 so-operation of other nations. A committee of ten members of the ] Reform Club will be appointed by 1 President Anderssn to go to Washing- 1 ton and oppose the passage of the silver ' bill. j Gen, Jackson's Cup. I; Xew Yoi:k, Feb. 12.?The Sun of a j recent date says: Col..1. J.Martin is[' one of the twenty survivors of the old j ] Palmetto Regiment of South Carolina 11 who are running a life race for ahistoric trophy. Just after the war of 1812 m the ladies of South Carolina presented I < (ien. Jackson with a beautiful and cost-' < [y cup indicative of their appreciation 11 of the bravery and gallantry displayed ; by him .at the battle of New Orleans. ! When Gen. Jackson died his will order- i ed the cup to be given to the bravest i soldier from South Carolina in the next 1 war which should occur. The cup was ; i;cireiuiijr put ciy>uj m \.uu ?.i v,ui.?v.o at Columbia to await the outcome of ; the next war. < The next war was the Mexican war. South Carolina sent out the Palmetto 1 Regiment, 1,100 strong. It fought in . many battles, and only 300 cf the 1.100 \ went back. Then the question as to t who should have Jackson s cup arose. 1 The legislature appointed a commission to decide the matter. The commission ( Liould reach no conclusion. Every mem- j ber of the regiment had fought well. Not one had "run away or shown the VI tun ell itiiu, C4.1H.1 IV/ ??c?o found impossible to award the trophy. 1 Thereupon the legislature dcidedthat < the cup should go to the last survivor of < the 300. There are only 20 U i f, and it is i the esj)t-cial ambition of each to outlive ? the others so as to v>osess this trophy. ?X. V. Sun. Shot His IVife :mrt Him-elf.

Cleveland's better on the Subject Discussed in the House. Washington, Feb. 12.?The House this morning went into the committee oi the whole on the legislative appropropriation bill. In speaking to a verbal amendment, Grosvenor sent to the Clerk's desk, with bis hearty endorsement, an account of the meeting at Cooper Union last night, unci the letter j:ddressed by Grover Cleveland to E.Ellery Anderson. The letter having been read, Grosvenor said he had thus placed this important and statesmanlike documert in the permanent records of the country, r.o the end that in the coming campaign it should be available under the frank of the members of the next Congress to be used in disseminating information throughout the country. [Republican lainrhter.l Kerr also commented upon Cleveland's letter. Inland?"I thought the gentleman was in favor of free coinage." Kerr?"I am." Diana?"Then you ought to be called Young-man-afraid-of free coinage, for you rever vote that waj." Kerr?'I never had a chance, tnoiigh I wns a member of the last Congress when the gentleman was Chairman of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures." JilanJ. You had a chance the other Jay, but you did not vote with us. Now that Cleveland has been con urraea 111 his views by sucn a great statesman as the gentleman from iowa, 1 cannot see how he can ever change his views and be converted." In speaking to a verbal amendment Ilooker referred to tne printing of Cleveland's letter in the llecord and said that for one, and speaking only lor himself, he was not disposed to permit that letter to become a part of the Congressional llecord of the country without saying something in regard to it, so that he might express the sentiment of the people he in part represented. lie had very great deference for the views of the distinguished statesman, lie had very great deference for the rlistfntriiishwl rnpn tvhn in thp ntht-r branch of the Legislature had declared that the judgment of the American people, as experienced on many occasions, and especially at the last election, was unalterably lixed in favor of the free coinage of silver. (Applause.) And although the business men of the great metropolitan city of New York uny have met and resolved that it would disturb the business interests of the country, he thought they ought to pause a moment and rellect that in that ?reat city not one brick would have been piled upon smother had not the ?re;it agricultural interest of the counrrv <sf?vvn in crr.nrl ctflsnti 'ax\<\ lirnnrrht its produce to the seaboard. It was something for New York to be a metropolis. .'She would be like a king without subjects to obey her if agriculture did not bring its" produce to her port. It must be remembered that while business men might shake, there was a power behind the throne of business men, behind the banks, behind the gold men and behind the silver men?the power of the people of the country, who had declared in unmisiable terms that they were in favor of the reissu ;ince 01 the silver dollar, the dollar 01 the fathers, the first unit of value on this continent. It could not be said that 'hose who were in favor of free coinage of silver and bi-metallic currency 1 were in favor of displacing anything that had a superior value to silver, because silver constituted the orignal unit of value. The people had arisen in denunciation of the outrage perpetrated in Congress when silver was demonetized by a fraud upon the government so tlagrant that the President did not know it and Congress did not know it. lie wished to say (while he would not call in question the opinion Df men who differed with him) that there was no man in the country, whether he had held a distinguished position or whether he had the :<mbi.: ^ u .7 4-u * u;^.u ~: 4-; + uiv. wlUli IU liUlU llic iUJ^UCSt JJU2>1L1UL1 WAClilll :he gll't ol' the American people, (be he Df one party or another), who could lay lown the law to the great masses of this country who thought for themselves.

Whatever might be the opinion of anyone man, whether he had occupied an eminent position in the past or expected to occupy it in the future; whatever might be the opinion of any one man .whether he sat on the Republican or Democratic side), no one man had the right to speak tor the great laboring interests of the country, which stood to ;he back nn.l behind the (jonstitution tncl law.

Will He )>e Hart by Having The Courage of His Convictions? Washington, Feb. 12.?The letter of Ex-President Cleveland, committing himself against the free coinage of silver policy, was the absorbing topic of lUbCUSblUU UL 11HJ ^iipUUi LU-UUV. J.0 ? CIS a lively day, too, for the representatives of the press, and the opinions of leading men from all sections of the country were solicited, the intention being to telegraph these expressions to all news centers in the United States. A variety of opinions were obtained, for while many of the leading Senators and Representatives would not talk, the ayarn era ^er^-roceor? o rlam rJaA will au (V U\.VAUVU. >1 ija ingness to be interviewed on so important a subject. As a rule the Democrats from the Eastern and Middle States agreed with Mr. Cleveland in his opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Senator "Wilson, of Maryland, nHC Of tile ?ew-Democrats who recently voted against the free 2iH2giLbill, expressed himself cautiously and conservatively. lie said that Mr. Cleveland had a right to his views on the question, and called attention to the fact that the Democratic party had never yet in a national convention decleared for free coinage. Senators Gorman, Vest and many others, who were prominent in putting through the bill tha'. recently passed tne Senate, ^referred not to "be emoted. Other Southern Senators were, however, not so cautious, and they freely expressed their opinions. Senators Pugh, Regan, Coke, Barbour, Vance and others declared emphatically that Cleveland by his course had not only alienated many of his hitherto stanchest supporters.. but his views on this great question * disposed of his chances for the Presidential nomination in 1892. Quite a number, while not agreeing with Mr. Cleveland, cculd not help admiring his boldness in. . ming out squarly against a policy that is so generally p'opuJar in the West and South. Among the members of the House there was a, wide difference of opinion. The Xew York members commended the Ex-President for his course, and so did Mr. "Wilson, of "West Virginia, Mr. Dargan, of South Carolina, and a few more from the South, but the great body of Democratic members from the South and West expressed the opinion that Mr. Cleveland had practically lost the nomination in 1892 by writting such a letter. Others took a more modified view and seemed to regret that the Ex-President should have adopted this course when the overwhelming sentiment of the partv is for free comacre. Among the prominent Democrats of the House who do not agree with Mr. Cleveland may be mentioned; Messrs Bland, Hatch. Dockery, Heard and Tarsney, of Missouri: Crisp, Blount and Turner. of Georgia; Wheeler and Gates, of Alabama. Bynum and others?New and Courier. Hurrah for Gov. Northen. Atlanta, Ga., Peb. 12.?While Jay Gould was being wined and dmed in this city Saturday the noticeable absence of Governor Xorthern from all mention in the programme was several times commented upon. The receptions were mu nicipal, commercial and social in character, yet neither at the city council receptioh'nor at the Capital City Club luncheon, nor at the evening reception tendered by Hugh T. Inman did the Governor or any member of his family appear. It was at first supposed that, owning to Governor Xorthen's limited personal acquaintance in the city, his name had probably been overlooked. It was agreed on all sides that there was a mistake somewhere. Some Alliance men were disposed to think that a slight was intended, as Xortken had been olected Governor by them. The facts leaked out to-day. It seems that Governor Xorthen did not meet Jay Gould because he did not wish to. lie was duly invited to join the citizens of Atlanta in doing honor to Mr. <iould. It was represented to him that Mr. Gould's visit to Atlanta meant much in a business sense; that Georgia would gain by his proposed transcontinental alliance with the Richmond Terminal system more than any other State, since it meant the pouring of the grain shipments of the "West into the ports of Savannah and Brunswick. "I did not want to meet Mr. Gould," was the Governor's reply. "His visit here has no otlicial character. While I 1 rl lilrfi f r\ aai- f ]-i c* /~vf Ti nr rpanti^niDT) vuiu zmt iv tilt. \jlh^a. ^wiuwuivu of the party, I cannot do so because of the presence of Mr. Gould. I object to him personally, because I disapprove of his policy of monopoly and liis business methods. I regret to be forced to this inclusion, but the common people owe Mr. Gould nothing, and as chief executive of Georgia I cannot do him reverence." This is why Governor Xorthen's name appeared nowhere on the list. There is ** A. /I T J -x* - _ 1 4.* great diversity 01 opinion in reiraru 10 his course. Help for Clem.-'Oii from Hampton. Pendleton*. Feb. 11.?The Clemson college received a lew clays ago from Senator Hampton some three hundred books. We have not seen them, but we are told they are very valuable, being mostly books of reference. We are also informed these books, being the lirst donation to the Clemson college library, they will be numbered and the honored donor's name will be duly enrolled on the library register. There is something peculiar about; these books. Some time in September last Senator Hampton wrote to Colonel Simpson, president of the board of trustees. informing him of his desire to donate these books to the Clemson college and requested him to designate to whom and where they should be sent. ]3ut for unaccountable reasons this letter was not received r?y coionei mpsuu umu about two or three weeks ago. Where it was all this time no one can conjecturc. but from the number of post ollice stamps on the envelope it has had mauy ups and downs be!ore it reached its destination. Colonel Simpson immediately j answered the letter so long delayed, and the books were promptly received. Senator Hampton has also in the last few days scut to Dr. 1'. II. H.

Gibson .was taken before United States Commissioner Hayne, and. w2.vm? ?xaruination, was yS held in S20.C00 bonds. w. J* ^ Among other rumors i v3^8-g?*tpd? that the plot was to blow up ShufeTdt's distillery. Gibson was arrested upon the complaint of Solicitor Hart, of the internal revenue bureau, who arrived here this morning. Solicitor Hart tells the story of the plot as follows: "Some months ago the treasury dfr: norf monf Woe oconrcic] fKof fKtr?n?e nrAt?fl \jcli tuiruu M ao floouicu luao iuiuxo ncic not just straight, from the fact that the trust people tried their best to have a . certain man appointed inspector of the ^ department for this district. We set a watch. Soon after this Dewar was communicated with, and this man, Gibson, opened up a correspondence with him; we have the correspondence. Gibson felt his man cautiously, teliing him at first that Shufeldt's concern?" was in the way and that they were trying to get it out ot the way." He got a little bolder soon, and finally, led on by Dewar, who was all the time in consultation with the department, he made a straight proposition. He offered Dewar S10,0U0, and then increased the offer to 625.000, to blow up the concern. Gibson'stated that he had a dynamite machine that could be located just outside v - ~ ^ ^ 4-\~ ~4- ~ ? <ji uue ui cue xaiye utna.3, su mai/ a iew moments after it was placed it would explode. There would be plenty of time, Gibson told Dewar, for him to get away, and that he was the only man who could place it, because of the fact that as a Government officer he had access to all parts of the building. "The result of the success of the conspiracy," continued Ilart, "would have b'een that the machine would have exploded between two of the immense tanks, making terrible destruction and leaving a sea of alcohol on fire. "Gibson lied when he told Dewar that the machine would not go off until he had time to get out, for it would have exploded at once, killing the man who placed it at the very instant, before he could possibly get away, thus destroying the only evidence against the trust, nermle. and at, the same time saving to them the $25,000 that Dewar was to have received. In addition to the destruction of Dewar and the buildings the success of the plot meant unquestionably the death of one hundred and fifty men working in the place. "As I say, Dewar under our instructions went to the length of Be conspiracy to the point of doing the diabolical deed, and when Gibson w?s arrested he was waiting uneasily, expecting to hear the explosion and destruction of ?? ail those lives and all that property. "We have in our possession all the w evidence to substantiate Dewar's story, the dynamite machine, the letters, the contract between Dewar and Gibson, in fact everything. The case is practically over, so far as our department is concerned. The case is made." "Have you any evidence to show that others besides Gibson were implicated in the conspirac) ?" Hart v?as asked. "Gibson is secretary of the Trust, and while we might say Gibson was not alone in this, and that somebody higher up in the Trust was the responsible party, we have not a bit of evidence tending to implicate anvone else." -V '"Everything we have points to Gibson, and to no other person. The machaine, the materials to make it effective and the inculpating 'documents were in a satchel which Gibson carried. At the time of his arrest some unknown person who had knowledge of the conspiracy warned the owners of the distillery on Monday of the danger which beset them, and "fixing the date for the explosion for yesterday or today, and they were carefully guarding the premises day and night." Two previous attempts, which were attributed to the "Whiskey Trust, but y. not proved, were made to destroy Shufeldt's place with dynamite. One of them occurred two years ago last fall. Detective Couglilin, of the city police force, was detailed in the case, and it was while at work on it that he made the acquantance of a little German, ; _ "~^nj John 1J. Kunze. Both oi them were afterward tried for complicity in the assassination of Dr. Cronin. Coughlin is serving a life sentence for the crime, but Kunze was acquitted. This afternoon Gibson was taken before United States Commissioner Herne and released on bail of 820,000. lie declined to make anv statement in regard to the matter. " The Comptroller's Opinion. Comptroller General EHerbs holds the opinion that-^'iere should be but one disbursing otlleer in the State, and iiis opinion is'based on sound reason and judgment. ? The sinking fund commission, ihe penitentiary board, and the Aujutantand Inspector General under the pressent law, are disbursing officers with our- oona. in speaking 01 mess oiu* cers Gen. Ellerbe says: "They ought all be made to deposit their money in the State treasury, and ? the expenses of either the commission or the penitentiary ought to be paid. j upon the warrant of the Comptroller General. The penitentiary has a pri, vate treasury, and in neither instance I is a bond given.
