C, March 26.-Senat Irby, the charian of the State coi inittee, was sven yesterday and ask for a talk about tho convention, tl nominations, the political situation viewed by himself, and the future the Democratic party of the State. At first he spoke very jokinyly abo these matters, saying that he was sore disappointcd that the convention li made him come all the way here, atnd n, ask him for a primary, causing himi, miss one of the greatest. chanches of I life. 110 laughingly said that his si were not trying to get around the Co stitution, buLt had intended. to let ti other side do that instead.

This actio lie said, also proved the prediction I made some time ago in Washingtt that the light, if any, was to be ma inside the ranks of the Dvmocrat part.y. The platforin adopted by the conve tion he said was very conservative, al under it lie believed that a light in ti party lines, such as Democrats shou make against Democrats, only wou be ma.le. IIe had feared that there would be c treme men in the convention who wou *ndeavor to have the light made out8i the lines, but he was glad to see th those whom he expected to attempt ti had not done so, but had acquiesed the decision of the convention. lie believed that from the men wi had been placed on the ticket they wou see that the opponents ofUillinan abi ed by the result ol the pritary strictl and he was very certain that the frien of 'illma would do lik#wise. lle wisell to emphasize this, howevt lie hoped that the leaders both Bid would prevent all bitterness and thi they would insist on their followers I having themselves in the coming cai paign.

"It is understood thal, you had yoi reply to an anticipated denand for State primary, to ie made by the co ventien, already prepared. What ha you to say to that?" was next asked.

MAD MARCH FOXES. A iCoviVa1 of the Strange Story From 11.11 Hole Swamp. C A ni:STON. S. C., March 28.-The to mad fox excitement of several months t ag-o is still before the public mind. ,o Numerous articles were published from time lo time of the prevailing mania )r among the foxes in the forests around Pinopoils, T nn-ile IIii and other neigh. h boring reions of this great country is where they raise cabbages. The details ol several attacks made by these mad It peits were published at the time in The ly News and Courier. L(l It Iwill be remeniibered that one old I)t to negro was interviewed who came to t*own is with his clothing torn, claiminu, that he 10 haid been attacked by a pack of foxes n1 e that attempted to swallow him. Sambo said that they all appeared to be "crazy re enl de head," but that lie had valiantly )f dispersed tle company with the help of 3f an axe. The narrator also went on to say th it whon he struck one of the ani mllais with his heavy axe it rebounded as it by imagic, and lie was led to the belief r that there was something more than craziness in. the foxes. Ile held thal ,t they were possessed by demons and d were Invulnerable. e Another old African was found who d sai,_ lie was riding his mule along the 0- road, when suddenly lie was set upon b) 'h severeal foxes, who made him dismount, n, ani then they rode oll on his r"ule, leav. i ing him to "foot it." Other and fre in n n quent tales savoring of a Munchauser ic character were current at the time, ant the matter attracted widespread atten. t. tion among the white people, as later id news came in ofrabid foxes having really se been seen in various places. Dogs and Id cattle were found to have been bitten, Wi and in more than one instance the owner killed the anial afterwards, fear x- ing hydropobia. 1d Qmnte a number of gentlemen of un le doubted veracity were seen who sai(i t that there was no doubt of the existence isol mania of some sort among the foxes. in When the excitement had somewhat 0 subsided a party of gentlemen went on id a "scouiini' expedition among the d- swamps of Ten-mile 1ill vicinity, but y, were not rewarded by coming in contact Js with any more raging reynards. An expert gave it, as his opinion that -r: the nia(diess was caused ly thelong and (- continued droughts. Statistics were it looked up and it, was fund that in othei e- places the foxes usually died within twc n weeks after becoming mad. Some time 1g after the first reported breaking out ol ie the mania no more mad foxes wer( seen, and the theory advanced was thal ke they had all (lied. n Last week, however, the news o' s horrible death from hydrophobia leake :Z- out, It anpears ,ibat the .biy me UIt-l;; a few days previously near Monck's 4" Corner by a mad fox. Ile was attended a- by a physician at that place, but tbe id wound did not seem to heal, and symp. n toms of rabies made themselves man - ifest. The boy was accordin2ly brought to Charleston and placed in the City . Iospital for treatment. However, medical selence was of no avail, and ,r soon it became apparent that the patient a was in the throes of hydrophobia. He n- lingered for a little and died from the ie effects of the bite, and thereis apparent ly no doubt of his death resulting from 1e lydrophobia. Id ThIs much of the st.ory of the boy's -i death reached The News andI Courier t on Saturday andl inquiry was made of the it IIospital p)hysicians, but it was thought best to withhold the news. d A Rep)orter was yesterdlay instructed eto again ferret out the matter andI the o tesult of his inquiry was unsatisfactory. y. The authorities were not willing to dlis to c'ose any of the facts in the case, not to wiishing to be instrumental in creat,ing e- any further excitemnt. >)r The matter is given publicit,y by The News ai Courier as it is regarded as d ani important neCws item.

Among the buIld inngs already gone are tho old palace, le the new government telegraph office et andit two convents. The whlole business th portion of the city has been swept so away. >- The loss of life has been between sev at ent,y-fivo and 100 already, so far as i- known, and scores of persons have not -been a(counited for. No search has been madIe for bodies, as the people have been fleeing to the open'i country all day, try ing to save their hlousehiold goods and escape the intense heat which envelops the ruins. They are camping at a dis tance frk the city, without food or hshelter, an d calls for help for them have ~*been sent out by the authorities. ieThe fire is said to have been caused by ~.the coalIs from a fire in a native's hut in fithe lower quarter of the city, There is lno provi bion against fire in the city, and igIhe people did not waft to fight it, but gfled, panic-stricken, before ft. The Ce roads to Amarapura are crowded with re f'g Itives, w ho will seek help in that ctiy ' Thle su ffering will be intens~e. as the rest of thie cit.y wvill be dhestroyed before morning and about 26,000 families will rs. be homeless. ct Chief Secretary Symme has appealed a to the Eniglish in llangoon for aid. lie ar telegraphieu t.hat thousands will die un n, less food and mnedicines for the injured d. are sent at once.

WHY WE WANT FREE WOOL. Democratm and lCepublicaus Discis the Matter. WASHINUTON, March 30.-The House went into committee of the whole on the tarill bill (Mr. Blount of Geor gia in the chair), Mr. Butler (Dem.) of Iowa taking the floor in advocacy of the measure. In speakug of the elements which entered iuto die manufacture of raw materials, lie said that they mainly consisted of cotton, wool, lumber, iron, stone, copper, coal and silver. Of cot ton, the United States produced 5,755, 000 bales in 1880; of wool 155,000,000 pounds; of lumber 118,000,000,000 feet; leather, 16,000,000 hides, and of coal 70,000,000 tons. This country has the best coal in the world, and was rich in its lumber forests and iron mines. Our cotton fields were ample to supply the world. Ile referred to the Intelligence of the American workman, and said that they were more energetic, more ca.pable and more intelligent than in any other country. Mr. Ray (Rep.) of New York inquired who gave them that intelligence. Mr. Butler replied tha', it was God Almighty. Mr. Ray: "And a protective tarill." Mr. Butler said that if the latter be true, then, with a tarill of 1,000 per cent., the people of the country would all be Solomus. [Laughter.] A pro tective larill had never increased the wages of any workingman 1 cent, anld had never decreased the price of any article used by the consumer. Mr. Ray suggested that in those coun tries where there was impoverished la bor, there were no public schools, and the laboring man had to take his little .hildren out of their cradles and put them Into the workshop. Mr. Butler: "And all of these couu tries, except one, is a protective tariff country." [Laughter.] As a Demo crat he was not afraid to say that coi. mercial freedom was the best thing that the country could have for its prosper ity. No tax should be put upon trade except. what should be necessary to meet the necessities of the Government, honestly administered. In closing his speech, whi:h was atten,ively listened to, lie said: "Ye tools of monopolies, ye croakers in the aristocratic garb of beggars, ye pretended paupers in the homes of luxury, rise and declare ia no bler American character; declare your ability to complete on equal terms with all competitors. Put energy im the place of wholesale beggary, and cease wear ing upon your breasts the title of arisLo cratic tramps of the highways of foreign trade." [Applause.] Mr. Lawson (Dem.) of Georgia fIa vored the bill, and said lie had had some experience in the wool industry, and yet he had never realized the necesRity for Irotection for that industry. The rais ing of, sheep was one of tke cheapest and most profitable industries in this country. In Georg. 2 aijeep took carpn f inaelves nine months in U'e year. In 1860 fine wools raised in America sold for 10 cents a pound more than medium wools. In 1867 fine wool began to decline in value because the tarifl'excluded exportation of such wools, and in 1891 line wools were selling for 4 cents less per pound than medium wools. This was on account of the pro hibitive tariff placed on importations of foreign wools, which are necessary to mix with foreign wools to make the fa brics which our manufacturers produce. Mr. Everett (Dem.) of Georgia fa vored the bill, and addressed himself to the cotton tie question, iIe said the Democracy rebelled against the unjust taxation of the Republican party. Pro tection was in favor of classes, and against the masses. i'he policy of the Government for the last twenty-five years was such as to build up a pluto cracy, and the masses of the people were sinking deeper and deeper into the meshes of poverty. Mr. J. D. Taylor (Rep.) of Ohio op posed t,he bill, and said that the McKin Icy bill had not decreased wages and in creased prices. The bill was framed in the interest of the American p)eop)le. While securmng revenue, its provisions were intended to ameliorate, anid did bett,er the condition of the people. It opened new lines of protection. T'hese p)ledges were madle by the Republican party, and they had kept them. Th'le South needed p)rot,ection. ii, would be well if the South should kill all its dogs and raise sheep. It would then be more p)rosperous. iIe p)redicted that in teii years the fSouth would be knocking at dloors of Congress asking protection for its sheep. iIe predicted that free wool would be followed by free woolen in this country, as in England, and that the peCople would resent this conspiracy between the cotton raisers of the South and the wool manufacturers of tihe North to en rich themselves at the expense of our prosperity in time of peace andl our in dependence In time of wvar. Mr. Grady (D)em.) of North Camohmna and Mr. Layton (Dem.) of Ohio spoke in favor of the bill, as did also Mr. Cros by (Dom.) of Massachusetts, who made his maiden speech in Congress. iIe characterized the McKinley bill as a Iraud upon the farmers and wool grow cra. At 5:30 the House took a recess until 9 o'clock. Exodus of Nearoes. M EMPHIxs, Tenn., March 26.-SlX hun dred and fifty negroes left Memphis this morning for Oklahoma. Thu v will make the journey In wagons andl on foot. It is expected that one thousand more will leave for the same place Monday. The exodus is not dlirect ly due to the late lynching. The matter had been talked of betore, but the lynching and the action of the colored mass meeting advising all who could to leave, precipitated and caused many to make up their minds to go who per haps would not otherwise nave done so.

NO CLOTURE RULE TO BE REPORTED TO THE HOUSE. Killed In the House of its Friends-No Final Vote Can be Had an Its Passage Bland, Hatch,'and Others very Mad With the Speaker. WASIINUTON, March 28.-The sec ond day's battle on the Bland silver bill that was expected to take place in the Rouse of 1Representatives to-morrow has been declared oil, and the bill will probably (lie upon the Calendar. The committee on rules declined t: bring in a special rule with a cloture proviso un less a majority of the Diemocrats re quested it, and as this request was not forthcoming the committce willn iot take tie action. Only thirty-oue Democratic members put their names to the petition in fivor of' the cloture or "gag'' rule. At a R)rmal meeting to-day of Speaker Crisp and Meisrs Catching' aid Mc Midlill, comivosing tihe majority of the committee on rules, the conclusion was reached that tile rule proposed by Mr. Bland last Friday could not be reported fivorably unless recommended by a ma jority of the Democratic imembcr-. Durmng the caucus recently licld to consider the silver question an under stamdig was reached that a cloture rule should only be emliloyed When demand ed by a majority of' the Democratic par ty in the house. In consequence of this uniderstandimg and because of the doubt which cuters into the silver ques tion at present the committee on rides notified the leaders of the free silver movement that it would be necessary tiheii to present a petition signed by it least, 1ti members in favor of' the pro posed rule. A consultation between Messrs Bland, Pherce and others followed, and Mr. P'ierce was authoriZed to pass around the follow.ing: "The the Committee oil rules: We, tile undersigned Democratic members ot' the 52d Congress, requeist the c>m mittee on rules to bring in an order fix img a day when a flial vote shall be taken on the Bland bill and amendments, and to prevet filibustering against said bill." At a late hour this afternoon Mr. Pierce abandoned the task, haviug oill secured thirty-one signatures. Several of the State delegations held conft rences and decided that they would tot sign sich a petition on the groind that a "gag'" rule is undemocratic, and would be a stultification of those gentle men who fought atil defeated the force > bill in the Senate by opposing Senator lloar's prposed cloture. Nearly all of' the Virginia, Indiana and Illinois de legattions refised to sign the petition for similar reasons. They argued that they had used every honorable meanps to brmg, about tile pa8sage of a free silver bill, believing that a majority of the Democrats throighout the country de sired such ia measure to pass. The result of the recent vote and the comment it occasioned in every section of the couitry has created a doubt in the mids of mauy of the Democratic leaders as to the propriety of forcing the fight irther. Mr. Bland vas greatly disappointed when lie learned tie result of Mr. Pierce's canvass I. sihuatures, and af ter a further consultatiou with those of his free silver followers who were dis posed to stand by him to the end deter mined to abandon the fight for the pres cut, ie is inlclinled to be severe on thlose geintlemn who refused t,o assist inl forcing the commnittee oni, rules t,o birings in the diesiredl ordler. Msr. Picee says he proposes to puiblish to the world the names of those men who piroless to be in fauvor of free silver who declinled to signl tile petition. Gent. Ilatch, of' Missouri, had an ex citing int.erview with Speaker Crisp oni tile subject., andl as onie of the signers of tile Petition denouniced the Speaker for hesitating to repIort the rule. 11, is saidi lie chairgedi tihe bpeake.i withl posing be fore the countr'y as a f'riend of' free sil ver yet lacking the nerve to take the rc sposibility of giving thle frienlds of' thalt, mteasure a cihnce to get ai lair aund 8'rlarc vote oil tile bill. Speaker Crisp smalid e was prepared to aide by the decision of a laaljorit,y of his party, and if they were willing to sign ai Lpetition rehquesting tile committee on r'ules to brInIg ill antother special ordier oil tihe subject lhe was prepared to do his (luty'.-News and Courier. ioid Iiairglairy.
