FIGHTING TAXES WITH FIRE. Terrtble tbreak of the workinsg Cles in Sicily. RoM, January 2 -Dispatches re. Geived from Sicily today show that the auti-tax movement has made great pro gress in the province of Trapani. Sev eral days ago the discontent in Campo. bello, a town of 6,000 inhabitants, near Trapani city, had become so threaten ing that the town council passed a ros olution abolishing the wheat octroi. As protests against this action the millers refused to reduce the price of fiour and the bakers announced an in crease in the price of bread. When these measures became known yesterday morning about a thousand men and fifty or more women of the working class gathered from the town and the surrounding country and be gan marching through the streets. The police who tried to disperse them were put to fight. The rioters set fire to all the public buildings except the town hall. From these buildings the fire spread to private houseb. While a lar district was in flameg the mtob le; the owners and officials alone to fight the fire, marched to the prison and took it by storm. All the persoi:s were liberated. The soldiers who had been continev in their barracks were driven out b fire and then turned their attention t t saving the rest of the town. The-) were very forbearing and did not 1ii or use their bayonets upon the ioib. Nearly a third of the town is now iii ruins. Many families that were buri ed out walked the streets all last night . The whole towi looks as if it had sut fered from a bombardment. Amoi.g the buildings destroyed were every mill and miller's house in the place. At Salemi, a town of 15,00o ilhalbi tans, in the same district wi Ii Caiiipo. bello, ires were started by inti-t;ix rioters shortly before dark vest erday. and half a dozen building were burn* ing by9 o'clock. Fires were ie! b) rioters in several smaller towns also, and In the early evening the whole di trict seemed ablaze. The troop:4, al though provoked by the rioters retpeat edly in Salemi, did n ,t lire. Sevcril rioters were arrested aftel a si rgii . A private was shot in t1w ch-v L aid a captain in the stomach.

SAN ANTONrO, Tlex., D)ec. 30.-A grand bail in celebration of the hooh days, was given at the ranch of .Jose Pamerce, in Pecos county, near the Rio Girande border, Thursday night, It was attended by the Mexican cow boys for many miles around. There was a great scarcity of y oung women. and there were a number of rows dur ing the evening among the surplus of young men, as to whose turn It was to claim the girls for the dances. Li quors flowed freely and the b)all broke up in a general fight between the young Mexicans, in which three young men were killed. The rmurderers live on the Mexican side of the river, to which place they made their escape. A Deserved Rebuke We clip the following from the St. Matthews Herald of last week.

W As111INOTON, Jan. 2.--Mr. Wilso the leader of the Democratic forces I the House of Representatives has ima one New Year's resolution, whicti 11 proposes to live up to in spite of tt calamity howlers in the House an Senate. IIe has resolved to pass tl .,riff bill prepared by the ways at means committee through the Ilou during the present month. In that e fort he will have the support of eve true I)emocrat in Congress. lIe sa: the bill in its present shape may I quire certam amendments, but lie I not the slightest doubt of the final pu sage of the bill substantially as it w reported from the committee. It is expected that the Republical and some of the Democratic ProtA tionists will vigorously oppose ai change in the present tariff that mig be suggested, but Mr. Wilson and the who stand ready to help him carry o the policy of the Democratic party, not intend to be frightened by t threats of the opposition. There w( inany Republicans in the House a Senate who voted for the passage the McKinley bill when they knew a openly declared that it was not wha majority of the people of the coun wanted. It was made a party meast by the Republican leaders, the pa whip was applied and every Repul can stopped up to the rack and cast vote in accordance with the dlctate8 the Republican bosses. There are a nuier of good I)ei crats who do not favor all the pros ions of the Wilson bill, but they do i propose to repudiate their party gratily their political opponents. 'I Iepublicans have contiaded from I very day that Mr. Clevehud was lcted that the )emocrats did I possess the required amoit of nei to revise -the tartiI. If they have vested their money in support of th judgement in that direction they v probably have occasion to regret ti they had so little faith in the decla tions of the Democrats. During the present week, it is urnd stood, the Domocratic mneimbers of I louse will hold a cauci.s and( indit in a general family talk. Some of I lepublicins who profess to have I gift o anticipating what Will happ in caictis predict that the minj;)rity the )imocrats will eithor decide to < feat the Wilson bill outright or vote recommit the bill to the ways a mieans committe for fur lier revisiot I hlive discussed the subject w many of the aolust Democrats in t Hiouse during the past two or thi days and they pronounce such st.a ments too silly for serious conside tion. One of the men, who exerci: more i-iluence with Democratic me burs than anyone else in the louse, 4 cept Sp-aker Crisp told ine that the tion of the coming caucus will not binding upon thos., who participate it. It is thought to be desirable come together and talk over the po icA sit.uation in the louse and mi such suggestions as will result ii tettex unier.tanding of the ditty i volvlng upon the I)emocratic majori I f the Republicans fancy for one i ment that Speaker Crisp, Messrs. I son. Catchings, Turner of Georg Culberon, Breckinbridge of Arkans McMlillin, flatch and the other Deu cratic members are going to let t minority rule in the present Congre they might as well resolve early in t new year to change their plans. A distinguishe Democratic Senat who is generally supposed to be host to sonme of the views entertained the President on certain questio voices the sentiment of all of the D)e ocratic Congressmen who are willii to bie (quotedi whern he says: " This i: I hmocratic Administration, back up by D)emo.,ratimc major'ities in t Senate ar.d House of Ilepresentativi andl we propose to go right ahead ai c(oni:luct the goverm nent in accordan with D)emocratic principles as we u derstand them." Some of the llepr. licans are endeavoring to Dromnote d cord iln the D)emocratic ranks by co fusling the issues involved. P'reside Cleveland is not on trial, as some them wvould have it appear. lHe is t leader of the D)emnocratic party and lore the present Congress adjourns wvill be demonstrated that the D)em racy is able to shape its own polic without any Republican interferene --News and Courier.

The Greenville News says that on account of the very large number of applications for admission into Clemson college at the next session many more , than the college can possibly receive, a n great many persons interested, both e parents and students. are constantly e making inquiries as to what methods e will be adopted to determine which d ones will be admitted. The board of ke trustees have adopted several rules .d regulating the governing the admission se of students. All young men will be C. required to stand examinations as at ry colleges. They will also be required to s stand physical examinations, and such 0. as have contagious diseases and who as are physically unable to fultill the du , ties required of them will not be ad as mitted. Applicants who are qualiiled to enter the college proper will have Is precedence over those applying for ad c. mission into the preparatory depart ly ment. According to tho best informa It tion obtainable about three hundred of se the old students will return. They, of ut course, betag already in the college, do will not be disturbed. The board has he not yet decided how many students ire will be admitted at the next term, but nd there v:ill be room for two or three of hundred new ones in addition to those n1d already there. It is their purpose to t a distribute admission to the college in Sry the counties in proportion to their ire representation in the lower branch of rty the legislature. Therefore any county )li. which has its quota in the students al his ready in the college will not be entitled of to any additional students until the ap plicants of those counties which have ao. not their quota has been fully supplied 1,- Then again it would be impossible tc lot accommodate the applicants even foi to one night at the college when they ,he have gone there to be examined. Th( ,he board has therefore decided to havE re- examinations conducted in the coun lot ties of the State which will be presidec ve over by one of the professors of Clem in. son assisted by competent residents of eir each place and the successful appli rill cants will be f Urnished with evidencE ,at entitling them to admission. ThesE ra. examinations will begin about the middle of January and ample notice ol er- the time and place will be given s he that all interested may attend them All applicants, whether they be pay he students or not will be required t< lie stana these examinations. The nexi en session will begin Thorsday, Feuruar3 of 15th. to- A Fight to the Finfidl, nd A unique feature of the Keeley n Treatment is the fairness with which I th it treats the enemy.

It cannot,'be very pleasant to stand in imminent danger of losing one's place on ac count of some body's notion that or., is not doing all he can to crush out "blind tigers." The mandate has gone forth and to day Governor Tillman, who in this case has a right to be a prophet, said that some of the worthy justices would be dismissed within the next sixty days. Governor Tillman said he would remove the first trial justice in whom he found the slightest inclination to de viate from the law. If he heard of any of thei patronizing "bhna tigers" that would be cause for immediate and un ceremonious removal.

The stat utes, as construed by the Supreme Court, require that cri minal cases com ing within the jurisdiction of trial jus tices shall be tried by a jury on the demand of the defendant, otherwise by the trial justice himself. Jurors are to be summon(d by the constables after six names have been drawn from a hat in which eighteen names have been placed by the constable. It will be the duty of trial justices to see that no names are put in the hat except those of men who will find a verdict accord ing to the evidence and not perjure themselves through prejudice against the law. Trial Justices who do not act with promptness and vigor and en deavor to enforce the law may as well send in their res1gnations, as no negli gence or favoritism will be tolerated. Enclosed will be found a search war rant, as well as a form for beginning nuisance proceedings tinder Section 22 of the Act. As it is impossible for State consta bles to cover the entire territory, trial justices are expected to see that their constables seize all contraband liquor and make arrests of parties breaking the law as provided by the Act. Every seizure thus made must be reported to the State commissioner, who will send a certificate for the shipment to him of the contraband liquor. For such work constables will be paid a reasonaule fee upon reporting the facts to the Governor. Special attention is directed to See tion 20, giving the right to examine suspicious packages. Trial justices will in every case ar rest and proceed against express agents and railroad agents or other railro d employees, who lay themselves liable under the provisions of the law. The right to search without a warrant ap plies only to places of business or pub lic places. In all cases where liquor is believed to be in a private residence and is being sold search warrants must be issued. Peisons are not allowed to buy in other States and bring into this State any quantity greater than one gallon. The searches must be conflued to de pots, and nO car will be entered to make search, unless by express ordlers of the Governor. Attorney General Iluchanan has pre pared the warrant.

Given under my hand and seal thi: --day of--, 189 Will Stup the Fight. JACK SONYILL E, Fla, Jan. 3.-Th( sensation of the day in sporting circiet was the action of Solicitor Christie representing the State, in refusing t proceed this morning in the case. against Corbett and Mitchell. It i well uncerstood that Christie wai forced t,hIs action by Governor Mit chell, at whose will lie holds oflice The Governor charged "collusion" on the part of Duval County auttorities when the cases were brought and it if said that Christie had received an inti mation from the executive that if thE cases were not dropped, he (Christie) would lose his oflicial- head. Christie did not have enough of sporting bloo to stand the gubernatorial gaff, and s( he dropped the case. Christie's announcement in courl that no information had been filet against Corbett and Mitchell meanl practically that the case had been no prossed. It knocked the pins from un der the club so far as testing the law ir relation to prize fights is concerned. The club had depended upon thit test case to put the lighters beyond ar rest. As it is now the fighters can b arrested at the last moment and o: course everybody knows that an ar rest at that time means that the figh shall not taKe place unless the club tie: the hands of the sherifT so that lie can not touch them. The members of the club, however in spite of the falling through of th test case, are showing no signs o weakening and say that if the English man coin be induced to sign the amend ed articles they will yet pull off th contest in Floritla. Just whit th course of the club will be no one seem. to know. Some say their next step I to secure the arrest of the principal: by soine justice of the peace, in ordei to have the habeas corpus proceedingi gotten betore the Circuit Court. Thosi proceepdings, which were to come of tomiorrow, are done with inasmuch a: tue principals are out of custody, bu the <luest ion is whether a justice'of thi peace will be found to go where thi county solicitor fears to tread. Mana ger Bo.vden of the Duval Athleth Club. was found shortly after the open ing of the court. and informed by thi Sou .hern A.4sociated lress correipond ent of. what had been done. Vhei asked what the club's next actiot would be, Mr. Bowden answered tha ne was not at all prepared to say, sav that it looked very much as if the Oii cials were af raid to give the case a fat test and allow the club to find oul whether or not the contest was withlir the law. Cantinuing, Mr. Bowder said: "The action of the solicitor is a prac tical victory for the club. It stiowe that the Govern Jr is afraid to let th( courts to pass on the law in regard t< prize lights. H 1 knows that the decis ion of the courts would be favorabli to us and he wants to keep the ques tion Open so ie can interfere withou running counter to a court decisioi Y on may s,iy," addfd Bowden, "that i the tnglishmin sticks we will hav this light in Florida. We know tha there is no law against it and we in tend to go) right ahead arranging fo the contest, always provided Mitche] signs theu amenderi articles." ImpostriIg Prtocems10n. A LBA NY, N.
