Y. English workingmen ju the engineer ing and allied trades are but moderate ly employed at the present time. The scarcity of work in Belfast, ow" ing to slackness in thc linen trade and shipbuilding industries has caused con siderable distress among the working classes. Union upholsterers at Grand Rapids, Mich., have been on strike since Sep tember. The object of the strike is to obtain a nine-hour day, with the same wages, ?2.75. The indubtrial agreement between the Nelson, New Zealand, Painters' Union and the employers provides for a minimum wage of thirty-one cents an hour and a forty-four hour week. The latest report of the British Amalgamated Society of Painters shows an aggregate expenditure of $11,000,000, and only one-eighth of this amount was expended for strikes. It has been calculated that the loss from illness averages 20,000,000 weeks of work in a year, or two and a half per cent, of the work done by the whole population between fifteen and sixty-five years of age.

I Paris, By Cable.-Having wound up the details of the big financial trans action connected with the Panama transfer, J. Pierpont Morgan left Paris Tuesday for Aix-Les-Bains. Before his departure he gave the correspondent ot the Associated Press the main points of the final agreement as follows: The Panama Canal Company wished to have money turned over in Earls in stead of in the United States, and waa willing to pay a!! the expenses inci dent to the payment here. In order to accomplish this the United States has appointed the Morgan company in turn to take a contract with the Panama company, whereby the $40,000,000 will be paid In Paris.- This contract speci fies the Banque de France as depos ltoryvand also the proportion of the payments going to the old and the new Panama companies respectively. The signing of this contract closes the transaction, it only remaining for the Morgan campany to carry it out by making payments from time to time to the Banque de France. This will be done to' cause no disarrangement of the American or French money mar kets. Cannon Won't Have the Nomination.

The week ending 8 a. m., May 2, had a mean temperature of about 64 de grees, which is nearly four below nor mal, due to nearly normal tempera tures during the first and last portions, and very cool weather during the mid? die of the week, with an extreme min imum of 40 at Greenville and Spartan burg on the 30th. Light frost occur? red on that date in parts of Greenville county. The week was generally win dy, and there was less than a normal amount of sunshine, and the lack of sunshine is said to have been detri mental to growing crops. The rainfall was generally light, and places in vairous parts had no rain, but parts of Colleton, Darlington, Chesterfield, Marlboro, ard Pickens counties had over an inch of rain, while counties adjoining these had beneficial amounts, nevertheless the need of a general rain "is indicated for all parts of the State. The drought is severe along the coast. Tho month just ended was the driest April of record since 1870 at Charleston, and the third driest at Columbia in the last seventeen years. Farm work made rapid progress as during previous weeks, except that the ground is too hard for proper prep aration, especially bottom lands in-, tended for late corn. Planting opera^ tiona were pushed, and for staple, crops, are nearly finished. Cultivation, of. corn has become active over most of the State. Corn is all planted except in the extreme west, and on bottoms. It has attained from fair to good stands, except that birds and worms are de structive in many places, necessitat ing much replanting. Much corn looks yellow from the low temperature. Cotton planting is nearly finished except in the extreme, northwestern parts. Germination is slow and un satisfactory, due to the dry- soil and ?ow temperature. Only a small part of the crop is up. The stands are generally poor, and the plants sickly. Replnting has been done in a few places, owing to the failure of the first planting to come up, and because some of the first plants have died after" coming up. Tobacco transplanting is nearly fin ished in a few districts, and the work has stopped in others awaiting rain. That set out is growing nicely. The cool weather was favorable for wheat, but the lack of moisture detrimental . to both wheat and oats. The latter is heading low, and has turned yellow. Truck-was cut short by drought along the coast, although shipments contin ue heavy. It is impossible to deter mine definitely the conditions of the peach crop; many reports indicate ex cessive droppings, some that the crop is uninjured and others that it has been destroyed. Apples, plums and cherries are generally promising. Pastures and garden, as well as all minor crops, need rain and warmer weather. . - Negroes Ruled Out. New Orleans, Special.-After a long and hard struggle the leaders of the lily white Republicans In caucus de cided against the negro, and lt was agreed to send a solid white delegation at large to the Chicago convention, in structed for President Roosevelt. Col lector of the Port Henry McCall and cx-Governor Warmouth fought hard to get a negro on the delegation, believ ing it would be beneficial to President Roosevelt, in the doubtful States, but Chairman Frank B. Williams led a strong fight for an all-white delegation The delegates chosen are: Pearl Wight, H. C. Warmouth, W. J. Beham and L. F. Su thon. Homicide Near Due West. Due West, Special.-A homicide oc curred late yesterday afternoon on the premises of Dr. J. O. Hawthorne, a mile fjom town. A colored boy, by name oj Bell, shot and instantly killed Foster Bradley, also colored. It seems the Bradley negro had gone to the home of Bell and begun winning some joke on him, and without wanyng Bell stepped into the house, got a shot gun and discharged the whole load Into Bradley's head and neck. The Bell boy was arrested and lodged in the Abbe ville jail. Pensions Paid. Chester. Special.-The clerk of the court was busy last week paying out money to the pension claimants in the county. There are 134 names on the roll distributed as follows: Class A 3; Class B 7; Class C No. 1, ll; No. 2. 62; No. S, 13; No. 4,48. The total num ber of pensioners in the county is one less thao on the roll of 1903. so thal Chester contributes nothing to the in-J crease, of 22, as compared with last year's list i Wliat the Conditions f?rW Been I Regard to Agriculture. Mr, J. W. Bauer, sectioh directoir bf the weather "bureaii, ?as Issued- tho following statement in regard to the progress of farm work during the month of March: "The temper?ture during March was variable, but averaged slightly above normal. There was considerable freezing weather in the western por tion, while on the coast the lowest point reached was 4 degrees above freezing, with light frosts itt this s?c tion on the 10th, 16th, and 29th, and heavy frost ott the 17tin Itt the west ern counties the ff?sts Were gen?rally killing ones on those d?t?s? with thin ice on the 10th, 16th ?nd 29th. How ever, over the western half of the State vegetation was not far ?riougii ?dvanced to b? Hurt; although,. itt places p?ach?? were more o?* -less dam aged. The damage to th? commercial peach orchards, in. the "ridge" sec tion, was very slight. The month's precipitation was whol ly in the form of rain, that fell at fre quent intervals, there having been general rains on the second, 4th. 6th, 7th, 14th, 18th, 21st, and 27th. The rains were heavy, in places on the 6th, 7th, 23rd and 24th. A few localities had excessive precipitation, but as ? rule it was slightly deficient) although the soil Was kept supplied with suf ficient moisture for ?asy tillage; Farm work made rapid advanc? throughout the month in the eastern half, and after the 15th in the w?ster? half, especially the preparation of lands for corn, cotton and other staple crops. Planting operations were con fined largely to the eastern and cen tral counties where much corn, con siderable rice and a little cotton were planted, as well as the usual minor crops and gardens. As a rule, plant ing operations made normal progress, with the soil in from good to excelleat condition except in certain rice dis tricts and in a few western counties where there was an excess, of precipi tation that delayed plowing and plant' lng. "The cultivation of tobacco is re ceiving less attention than last year, but the plants in beds are vigorour, though small for the season. "The weather was not persistently warm enough for tbe rapid growth of winter wheat and oats, although these grains made a marked improvement and are in fairly good condition. Spring oats germinated favorably and came up to good stands. "The truck raising districts were favored by the weather, and early vegetables were being marketed by the close of the month. "Pears, plums and early blooming varieties of peaches finished blooming In all but the extreme northwestern counties, where apple and cherry trees only began to bloom during the last decade. "Pastures made slow growth and afforded but scant grazing in the most favored localities, and none in the western portions." Mayfield Withdraws. Senator S. G. Mayfield has with drawn from the congressional race in the second South Carolina district. This leaves Mr. Theodore G. Croft suc cessor to his father in the national House of Representatives. Mr. May field's letter is as follows: "General Willie Jones. Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Columbia, S.

The impact was so great that the big locomotives, as they went together, "reared up" and turned crosswise of the track. The mail car was broken in half. Persons on the passenger train were not hurt One of the engineers and his fireman and a mail clerk were slightly hurt. That the watch of Engineer McMillan, of the freight train, had gone wrong, Is the only explanation for the accident. Offices Abolished.
