Scraps aiul ?a(ts. ? The consideration of the naval appropriation bill has been the most interesting business before the house of representatives (luring tlie past few days. Representative Hobsnn of Alabama, has been working hard to secure the authorization of four battleships this year, and President Roosevelt sent in a special message urging provision for four battleships. Mr. Hobson insisted in his speeches that there is danger of war with Japan and other foreign countries and the president urged that preparedness is the greatest security of-peace. The house, however, was unwilling to stand for four ships or three ships. A proposition to provide for only one battleship was voted down. Two battleships were authorized. ? Says a New York dispatch of April 14, to the Philadelphia Public Ledger: The Royal Baking Powder interests, which recently purchased the $2,400,000 plant of the Western Glucose company of Roby. Ind., nave Degun war on the Corn Products Refining company, an $N0,000.000 Standard Oil concern, their most powerful rival. The baking powder concern announced today that a discount of 15 per cent on all glucose and other products would be given to its customers. The Corn Products company hitherto has sold the Baking Powder trust all of its starch, which makes up about 85 per cent of baking powder. When it became known that the Royal Bilking Powder interests were about to make their own starch and sell their surplus corn -products in the Corn Products Refining company's territory, the Standard Oil Interests retaliated by announcing that the Corn Products company would start the manufacture of baking powder. ? New Orleans, April 15: A report 1 that about Kt? whites and Indians have been killed in Nicaragua in bloody bush warfare waged by Mosquito Indians was brought here today by W. I R. Coft'nian of Bloomington, 111., who i , was a passenger on the steamer Dicta- I tor from Central American ports. The < death list of whites numbers about 20. < The lighting started over a month 1 ago on the Caribbean coast, where the Indians live. Late in February about 100 Indians attacked Prinza- > polca Ber, a small town. They hid behind bushes, trees and other shel- < ter, pouring into the village a fire > whicli killed two men. A long, hard i fight resulted, soldiers and citizen i volunteers finally driving the assail- i ants back, about a dozen of the In- i dians being killed or mortally wound- i ed. The other Indians fled but many of them were captured and after being severely beaten with raw hides, . chains were placed about their legs j and they were imprisoned in an im- , ]>rovised stockade. Another engage- 1 ,iu-nt took place at Cape Gracas, near the border of Nicaragua and Spanish Honduras. Here the casualties among the troops were five, but the Mosquitos were no more successful than before and tied to retreats in the mountains. Since then, Mr. Coffman said, many troops have been sent into the Mosquito district and several skirmishes have occurred. It is reported that treachery and cunning have been used on both sides. Wherever a par- ( ty of white men get a chance they generally kill the Indians without mercy, and the Indians have slain several soldiers whom they caught in the forests. ? Washington, April 15: James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, will make one of the leading addresses at the White House conference in May on the conservation of natural resources. His subject will be, "The Relation Between Rail and Water Transportation." It is understood President Hill's subject will lead him into a discussion of the competitive relations between the railroads and canals of this country. President Hill is one of the five distinguished citizens who have been personally invited to attend the conference. The others are Grover Cleveland, William Jennings Bryan, John Mitchell, and Andrew Carnegie. These guests, with th? governors of the states, will be entertained by President Roosevelt at a dinner on the evening of May 12. The session will begin the following morning. The plan is to hold two sessions a day for three days. President Roosevelt will open the conference with an address and he is also expected to preside at each session, if m?t throughout each session. The meetings will be held in the east room of the White House. Indications already are that that room will be crowded. Each governor will be attended by-three delegates and some forty great national organizations will be represented, t'abinet members, the justices of the supreme court and members of congress, and the inland waterways commission have been invited, and arrangements will also be made for the accommodation of newsj?aper and magazine writers. The importance of the conference and its notable personnel, as well as its nonpartisan character, is indicated by the fact that it happens that practically all the Republican and Democratic presidential possibilities are on the invitation list. Tuft and t'ortelyou will be there in their capacity as cabinet members. Knox and Lafollette are invited as senators. Fairbanks 1 " 1 ........

Kryan is one of the five to receive a personal invitation. Johnson has the same standing as Hughes, by virtue of being governor of Minnesota. Judge tlray will attend as a delegate from Delaware. ? fjreat Falls. Montana. April 15: A great flood is rushing down upon this city caused by the breaking of the great Hauser I-ake dam on the Missouri river. The town of Craig, lying directly in the path of the uncontrollable volume of water, is reported wiped off the map. The 400 inhabitants, it is thought, escaped, having had warning of the approach of the flood. The population of this place is 15,000. All living in the valleys are fleeing to the mountain sides for safety. The Boston and Montana Smelter, one of the largest in the world, is thought to be doomed. Five hundred men employed there worked all night constructing a wing dam, but the works, being located on the river bank, are directly in the path of the flood and the weak earth works will be of little avail in saving them. The town of Cascade, 4 00 population, on the north of Craig, is under water and in danger of being entirely swept away. Undoubtedly there has been i loss of life and the peril is becoming greater every hour. The river is thickly strewn with the debris of ranch houses and the carcass 's of drowned cattle. That cattle were drowned is an indication that the flood caught the cattlemen unawares and there was no time to drive cattle to safety. As a last resort the dam at Great Falls, from which the smelter receives its power, will be dyna- i mited so as to let the water down stream and make room for the flood racing in this direction. The great Hauser dam is in a mountainous region and there is no room for the spread of the water. Spring freshets and the melting snow taxed the dam to its greatest strength. A break was reported yesterday and efforts were immediately made to repair it. The water broke through with a mighty roar and tlie men on tlie structure had barely time to escape. It is not known whether till of them reached safety. The great body of water backed up for miles leaped through the break and raced down through the small ravines, growing in volume. Ranchmen meed ahead warning the occupants of the danger and urging them to escape to the hills. There was no time to save property. People | on the mountain side suffered greatly | from exposure. The night was cold and many of the families are entirely without shelter. <?hr \|oihi'iUr (fnquirrr. Entered at the Postoffice in Yorkville as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE, S. C.: FRIDAY, APRIL 17. I'.IDS. Mr. Featherstone has announced his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race. The idea of sending discreet men to China to open up a market for American cotton goods strikes us as the most practical remedy for the present depressed condition of the textile industry. If our esteemed friend the Columbia State will pardon us, we will suggest that it take a lesson from the experience of that poor fellow out in Macon. Mo., and not require the members ;>f its staff to go unshaven until Mr. Bryan is elected president. The Caffney Ledger promises to give the members of the State Press association the greatest time they have ever known at the meeting in Limestone college this summer. But the thing that puzzles us is how the esteemed Ledger expects the members of the association to stand a bigger time than some of those they have already had. There is being builded some public sentiment along the line that the senatorial race is entirely between Hons. John Clary Evans and D. C. Heyward. There is very good reason in the opinion of The Enquirer, to think that these two gentlemen are stronger than the others; but to assume that there is nobody else in the running would be a very serious mistake. Smith, Johnstone and Martin all have followings, and they will cut no little figure in the general result. Watch. Representative Aiken is trying to secure the refund of about $60,000,000 cotton tax collected from the south during the fii =t few years following the war. The tax was imposed directly on cotton and one of Its principal objects was to make the people of the <outh bear the whole financial burden of the war. In the course of time the tax was declared unconstitutional as everybody knew it was from the first, and then the northern people began to work the protective tariff idea stronger and stronger to the same end. That the cotton tax should be refunded there is absolutely no question; but as to whether it will ever be is very doubtful. However, Congressman Aiken is to be commended for his efforts to secure justice in the matter. ARRIVED AT SAN DIEGO. Long Trip Around the World Nearly Completed. A parade of blue jackets and marines landed from the American battleship fleet, 5,000 fighting men fresh from a cruise of more than 13,000 miles?marked today the ceremonies of official welcome to the state of California. Sixty-four companies of sailors in their togs of the sea and 16 companies of marines formed this most notable of the navy's land display. The procession that the men of the navy formed was more than two miles long. They marched from the water front to the city park, over three miles of streets canopied with decorations which combined the red, white and blue of the nation and the gold and white of the state. At the city park the sailors passed in review before Hear Admirals Thomas. Sperry and Emory, and Governor Gillett and his staff. Three thousand school children waving flags and banners were massed directly in front of the reviewing stand and their songs and cheers were one of the prettiest features of the day's celebration. Governor Gillett in a brief speech supplemented his words of welcome spoken yesterday on the Connecticut, and Rear Admiral Thomas made formal response. Admiral Thomas then graciously accepted, in Admiral Evans' behalf, a golden key symbolical of the freedom of the city. The token will be forwarded to Admiral Evans at Paso Rubles. There will go with it a gold mounted and jeweled naval sword presented today to Admiral Evans, through Admiral Thomas, by the patriotic fraternities of the city, including the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate veterans and Spanish war veterans. n't .i.%\{?nlo Tl?Amoo ^norrv nnrl 1 t ? . \ U I I I I I Cl I ^ 1 I I < ' I 1 I 14 J ??|7V* ?

Mr. Bryan Draws Distinctions Between Himself and Roosevelt. Mr. Win. J. Bryan made a speech in the opera house at C.rand Rapids, Mich., last Wednesday night and among other tilings said: "I do not blame President Roosevelt for the financial depression. If 1 had been president 1 would have been blamed for the trouble. Roosevelt says he only turned on the light. I only blame him for having a gas fixture so bad it lias taken liiin live years to turn it on. The Republican party sold the country to Wall street In 1S96 ami delivered the goods. When a gambler in Wall street gets cold today the whole country has to shiver. No one in the I'nited States gets more pleasure out of what the president has done than I do. I think I am his greatest beneficiary. He has made my ideas respectable. And the people use me better, too. The papers speak more kindly of me. The cartoons are not so bad. They used to make such horrible pictures of me that I was afraid to have the papers come into the house." Mr. Rryan described n cartoon show ins him as a featherless bird sitting on a limb beside a nest in which th( president, depicted as a bird, was sittins And the president's nest was feathered with feathers taken from thi Bryan bird. Only <>ne feather was left?tariff reform?and this the president had given warning lie would tuk< after elect ion. "Well. I'm willing to raise feather if the president will use them." saU Mr. Bryan. lie said that the action of fjovernoi Hughes in vetoing the 2 cent fare ir New York and in his expressed opinloi that the levying of great fines on cor porations works an injustice to stock holders, showed his sympathies to b< with the corporations. "Mr. Hughes has said that the indi vidual violators of the law should bi given jail sentences," said Mr. Bryan "but we don't see any of the trus lenders in jail." Mr. Taft he declared to be the heir apparent to the Roosevelt monarchy All of the other cabinet officers ha< been exposed to reform, he said, but i did not take, and in Taft's case he be lieved it to be only varioloid. Taft hat condemned Bryan as being in favor o trust "extermination, said Mr. Bryan whereas Mr. Taft stood for trust reg ulation. "Destroy the trust and you destroy the industrial system," says Mr. Taft "Well, the Republican party has beet regulating the trusts for eleven year and the trust family has continued t< grow. It is one family to measure uj to the president's measure of a family Mr. Taft is either Ignorant or lacking in candor when lie advocates trust reg ulation." Mr. Bryan condemned the admlnis tration's Philippine policy and eriti cised the rapidly increasing army am navy budgets. MFRE- MENTION.

From the frequency witl which stock yarns are offered, and thi prices at which sellers are willing ti accept business, it becomes more an( more apparent that pressure to sell i stronger than ever. In this and othe markets, stocks are said to have ac cumulated to a marked extent, am holders of these stocks realize tha they must dispose of what they hav< at the best possible prices they cat get. regardless of the original cost. While in some quarters orders an reported as slightly better than the; were a week ago, the demand is no large, and the prices at which th< yarns are changing hands are by m means satisfactory to the seller. Man; forced sales at low prices are report ed, while other offerings at equatl: low figures are still left on dealers or spinners' hands. Knitters in somi sections have been attracted by thi low prices named, and have takei some supplies for lightweight goods On the other hand spinners claln that there are many knitters who re fuse to accept deliveries now due 01 orders placed sometime ago at highe price levels. \W;ivpts do not annear to be inter ested iii taking further supplies, n< matter how low the priees named ma; lie.

The developnents in these quarters yesterday are ! uimmarized in a New York dispatch ?f last night as follows: Trading in cotton was not active tolay and prices eased off under com- < mratively moderate offerings, with the ,t close barely steady at a net decline of , ) to 14 points, which carried the mar- ' <et hack to within 3 to 5 points of the * owest for the season on active months. Sales were estimated at 175.000 bales. , The market opened steady at an advance of 4 to 6 points in response to { Inner Liverpool cables and a renewal ' if yesterday's covering movement. But here was no snap to the buying, and .vhile there was talk of cooler weather 1 n the south there seemed to be nothng in the weather news to excite ap- < >rehension as to the crop outlook so . ?arly in the season. At any rate the liarket eased off under realizing by re- 1 cent buyers for a reaction, who may lave been disappointed by the failure , >f a more urgent demand from shorts :o develop, and after midday prices croke quite sharply following the anlouncement of the failure of a local \ cotton commission house. This firm ,vas generally known to be embarrassed earlier in the week, the heavy liquidation of Monday having been at- i tributed to it, and the news of the suspension had no influence on looal ' ?entiment. The circulation of the 1 datement through the'country seemed ! :o bring in some selling orders from ( )utside sources, itowever, and the close , ,vas within a point or two of the low;st of the day.'

On May 1st they rill both give their lives for the horible murder of Mrs. Paul Ellisor, at 'ayce, across the river from Colum>ia. Perhaps never before in the hisory of this state has a trial been onducted under Democratic rule with . military guard. It has been done In ither southern states to prevent mob iolence, but not In South Carolina. Jovernor Ansel, however, took the trecautlon to have the two negroes aken to Lexington, twelve miles from ,'olumbla, on a special train this norning and brought back here toilght and with them went Capt. Joeph R. Allen with fifty men of the llchland Volunteers, with fixed baymets and loaded guns, besides Sheriff 'orley, of I^exingfon, and his deputy md Superintendent Crlfflth and Capuln Roberts, of the penitentiary ruard. The train took the prisoners [board as near the penitentiary as >ossible and they disembarked at the ame place and were escorted Into the >rison by the same guards. There vas a crowd of over one thousand (fcople In the little town of Lexington >n yesterday, many of them from [ear Cayce, and it was not to be aserted that precautions were useless.

When Irst arrested the younger brother wore his elder brother was not presnt at all, but that a stranger was the ?ne who killed Mrs. Ellisor. Later 10th confeased to Superintendent Jrlfflth, and Captain Griffith today elated their confession. As soon as he verdict was announced, Judge De ore pronounced sentence, fixing May st as the date for their execution, and ourt was adjourned. Under guard if the volunteers the prisoners were aken to the station and put on the pecial for Columbia, which was at he penitentiary by 7 o'clock. NEGRO IN POLITICS. curious View Attributed to Hon. Leon F. Livingston. There must be some mistake In the tory sent to the New York Sun from Ltlanta that the Hon. Leonidas F. jivingston, Democratic member of ongress from the Atlanta district, Is dvlslng his supporters to vote against he constitutional amendment framed o disfranchise the negroes because he hinks the Democrats will need them o defeat Thomas E. Watson, the Popilist leader." In a recent speech in !ampbell county Mr. Livingston Is luoted as saying: "I advise you not to vote to djsranchise the negroes for we'll need hem in a short time to defeat Tom Vatson and his crowd, which the ne* :ro calls poor white trash. With the legro disfranchised Watson would ominate the state." We can hardly believe that Mr. Jvingston holds the views thus attributed to him, but, if he does, the eople of the Atlanta district ought to etlre him from their service at Washrigton. We think Mr. Watson is radially wrong in his political opinions, ut he has at least the courage of his onvictions, and, whatever may be aid as to the errancy of his political ourse, surely he is not to be attacked n the ground that he belongs to the lass described by Mr. Livingston and he negroes as "poor white trash." Ir. Watson is a lawyer by profession, gentleman by education. He is also n author of some note, and is probbly almost as sound in his Democracy s Mr. Livingston himself. Moreover, e is a white man, and even if it be rue as Mr. Livingston says, "with the eg ro disfranchised Watson would ominate the state," that would be ar more desirable than to have the egro made a factor in the determintion of political contests in Georgia, lesldes, if there should be a scramble or the negro vote in Georgia Mr. Vatson would probably be able to ote as many negroes as Mr. Livington.?News and Courier.
