TERMS TOO DRASTIC DISPENSARY GRAFT ALLEGED. Russia Kicks on indemnity and Cession of Sakhalin. CREDENTIALS AN ISSUE PETERS SUSPENDED S0CIAL EQUALITY AEFAIR ON THREE ARTICLES Dove of Peace Fluttera Hesitatingly Over Conference of Plenipotenta- res at Portsmouth Navy Yard. Muddle Over Credentials. A special from Portsmouth says Russia’s reply to the Japanese terms of peace was delivered by Mr. Witte to Baron Komura at 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning. The re* ply is written in two texts, one in French and the other in English. Upon two crucial points, indemnity and Uie cession of the Island of Sak halin, tho reply is an absolute non possimus. Other points are accepted as bases for discussion, while others are accepted conditionally. The reply is rather long, because enumerating the conditions upou which d ! scussion is admitted and those upon which consideration is de clined, reasons and arguments are given. The tactics of tho Japanese are in scrutable. They have shown through out the war this ability to guard their secrets, military, naval and diplomat ic, aud now not the remotest clew comes from behind their closed doors as to whether they are prepared to make substantial concessions. Silence and secrecy are their watchwords. A very remarkable state of affairs exists regarding the credentials of the Japanese plenipotentiaries, and the end is not yet. Notwithetaud'ng the previous ofll- cial statement that with the exchange of credentials all diittculties on that point had been removed, btie Associat ed Press learns authoritatively that the matter stlli is in issue. After the failure of Baron Komura to produce his credentials at the first session on Wednesday, an English copy was com municated to M. Witte with the state ment that it was a copy, but that it was in no Vise attested. At Thursday’s session, Baron Ko mura submitted the original in Jap anese, but, of course, no member of the Russian mission could read it. M. Witte's credentials, on the contrary, while An Russian, were aecoropontpd bv a certified copy in French, which bore the signature of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs. M. WMtte has returned to Baron Komura the copy of the latter’s credentials In the expectation that he would forth with receive *n attes’ed copy of the translation, but up to noon Friday he had received nothing. The difference in the powers con ferred on the two plenipotentiaries also raises a delicate point, and one of the grea'est moment, in the Rus sian credentials the emperor pledges his word of honor to sign any treaty which receives the approval of M. Witte. The power conferred upon M. Witte to negotiate and conclude a treaty of peace is absolute. Baron Komura’s credentials, on the contrary, specifically provide that any treaty negotiated by Baron Komura must ret-clve the imperial ratification of th® emperor of Japan. This divergence in tho character of tho credeutin’s is so vital that M. Witte has communicated to Baron Ko mura an official diplomatic note wdiere- 1n he notifies the Japanese chief pleni potentiary that, while he stands ready to exercise the full powers conferred npon him, in view' of the limitation placed upon the powers of Japan’s chief negotiators, he regards it as only proper that he should consider his powers limited in the same way. In other words, unless the powers of Baron Komura are increased to make them coequal with those conferred upon M. Witte, Emperor Nicholas will have the right to ratify or reject any treaty that is negotiated. South Carolina Legislative Committee Begins Its Probing Work. The committee appointed at the last session of the South Carolina general assembly to investigate alleg ed graft In connection with the sta e dispensary and which has for severai months been working secretly, held i’s first public session at Spartanburg Tuesday. John Henry Morris, formerly dis penser in Spartanbirg, testified to the effect that he had contributed to a-fund to purchase the Influence of a Spartanburg paper in behalf of the dis pensary. He testified that he lost his job ae beer dispenser because he complained of the quality of beer sold to him by a certain ooarpany and be cause he had refused to pay C. O. Smith, chairman of the county board, the amount that Smith demanded. Witness swore, further, that in making final settlement with the brewing company the contern was represented by Cole L. Blease, who had said: ‘ You toys could have kept from tell ing so much." Blease is a member of tho investigating committee, beipj; the author of the resolution, whicti created the committee. Morris test! fled that H. H. Evans had nsked h ! ,m *o “chip in” $300 to tho election of legislators Ri Spartanburg county, promls’ng to refund it. Witness bad never been reimbursed, although lib had spent money on the advice of Jesse Mahnffi'y, former member of the legislature, who had told Morris that Evans was good for the amount, as (’luring the aess'on of the legislature Mahaffey had twenty blltp stuffed into his pockets by Evans, during the campaign incident to Evans' re-eiec tion. Evans is chairman-of the state board of contiol. The committee then adjourned un‘U Wednesday. Vice-President of Cotton As sociation Asked to Resign.

ENGINEER DAUCHEY RESIGNS. Woods Searched for Young Woman Supposed to Bs Dead. Scores of men and boys of Ro.-iS- vilie, Ga., about six miles from Chat tanooga, searched the woods in that vicinity Tuesday night for the body of a woman named Sarah Jackson, who is supposed to have been fatally wounded by a man named Charley Cat r. When last seen ths woman was run ning into a dense thicket with her throat cut end blood pouring over he' body.

As soon as she could get away from him she rai. into the woods. President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Asosciation has demanded tha resignation of E. 8. Peters, vice pres ident of the associa'ion. The action of President Jordan meets with the approval of the exec utive committee of the association, he having consulted the members of the eommiltee by wire before taa- ing action. After hearing from IT members of the committee President Jordan telegraphed to Vice President Peters at Washington demanding his resignation and suspending him as an officers of the association. The action of the president is base! upon certain utterances made by Col. Peters at Washington July 31, and his actions there since that time, where ho has since remained. Presi dent Jordan declares that Col. Peters’ statements and actions clearly indi cate that he is not in harmony with the president and Secretary Cheat ham In their efforts to push the in vestigation of the bureau of cotton statistics, nor in harmony with the vi».vs of the members of the Southern Cotton Association. It is also charged that he is a partisan of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, whom he openly defends. the guest of John Wanamaker, for mer postmaster general, and acted as escort to JJts.

Statistics compiled by the bureau o; statistics of the department of com merce and labor show that the ex ports of manufacturers In the fiscal year just ended amounted to $543,620,- 297, ns against $452,415,921 in tm preceding year, $433,851,750 in J'Oih and $153,595,743 in 1595. Of manutac tures the expor s for the past fiscal vear were the largest on record. Sop is Handed Out to Standard Oc topus by Railroads. Sweeping reductions on northbound freight rates on petroleum produc's so as to make the tariff northbound ?.nd southbound uniform, especially noteworthy in view of recent charges of a combination between railroads and the Standard Oil company for ex acting higher rates northbound, were announced in new schedules filed with the Interstate commerce commission at Washington Friday by the Illinois been agreed to by Mr. Witte and Bar on Rosen on behalf of Russia, neither of the two articles to which Mr. Witte in his reply returned an absolute neg- nlngham, m a statement made Mon- a t} ve w , as cached. The crisis, there- day night, vigorously condemns the fore Js stil ^ 0 tome . action of Booker T. Washington in dining publicly with John Wanamaker and his daughter at Springs. “His conduct in accepting those at- the press, are, in substance, as fot tentions from northern white people..': lows: said Lieutenant Governor Cuningham, “First—Russia’s recognition of Ja- “proves conclusively that he is an un- pan’s ‘preponderating influences’ and wise leader of his race.

The reductions are: From New Orleans to Chicago, from 41 cents a hundred pounds to 23 cents; to St. Ix>uls, from 35 cents to 18 cents; to Cincinnati, from 89 cents to .22 1-2 cents, and to Louisville, from 33 cents to 18 cents. The charges of combination were made in a complaint recently filed by the Gulf Refining company of Port Arthur, Texas, which alleged that the difference in the rates between northbound and southbound petroleum operated as a bar to Texas and I-ouis- iann oil entering the territory of the Standard Oil company, but did not permit the Standard OH company’s products to enter territory In the south. ROOSEVELT AT CHAUTAUQUA. President Delivers Interesting Address Before Ten Thousand People. President Roosevelt delivered a no table address at Chautauqua, N. Y., Friday. Through a line of 800 boys and girls the president was escorted to the as sembly amphitheater, his way being strewn w4th flowers. When he ap peared on the platform, President Roosevelt was greeted by 10,000 peo ple with cheers and the chautauqua salute. Bishop Vincent introduced tha president to the great audience in a few simple sentences. The president was given an ovation. The Monroe doctrine, trusts. San Domingo affair and regulation of cor porations were the principal features of his address. Dr. Stagg Blames Washington. Dr. J. W. Stagg, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Birmingham, said the action of Booker T. Washing ton, in Saratoga, Sunday, will retard the union of the northern and south ern branches of the church for many years. “John Wanamaker, with whom Washington dined publicly, is a prom inent member of the northern Presby terian church, and all southern mem bers of the church ^will resent his ac tion. I blame Washington more than all nations in that province (open door).” “Third—The cession to China of the Chinese Eastern railroad from liar- tin southward.” There was never any question about tbe acceptance on the part of Mr. Witte of these “articles,” the first two ervering in more emphatic form tbe contentions of Japan in the diplomatic struggle which proceeded hostilities. The third is a natural consequence of tl^p result of war. The cession of the Mr. Wanamaker.

Yellow fever figures for Monday in New Orleans were surprisingly smali/f considering that nine’een of the cases reported really belonged to Sunday’s list, having come in after the closing of Sunday’s report. Monday has usu ally been a heavy day for new cases or account of hold-overs from Sunday, and if the number of new cases for the next few days continues small, then it can be said that the situation is really improving. The official report for the day was as follows: New cases, 55; total cases tc date, 1,018; deaths, Monday, 12; total deaths to date, 166; cases un der treatment, 356. NORWAY VOTES TO BREAK AWAY former is to he remunerated, and through this financial operation, Japan might have a very considerable por tion of her claim for the “expenses of the war” liquidated. The railroad is ostensibly the property of the Russo- Chincse bank, although built by gov ernment money advanced through the bank, and since its completion, oper- atdd, managed and policed by the Rus sian government. Japan cannot take the railroad her seif. To place herself in Russia’s shoes regarding the railroad would be mili tarily to control the destinies of thc- three provinces of Manchuria, which she has promised to return to China. NEW COUNTY BILLS PASSED. Georgia House Finishes Its Part of Most Important Legislative Work. Fully sustaining the report of iis committee on new counties, the Geor gia house of representatives Monday completed Its work on the new coun ty bills, passing each one of them just as the committee recommended. The new county business was cou- Secession from Sweden Approved by an Overwhelming Majority.

Thousands of women who did not have the right of franchise, signed petitions in the streets indorsing the dissolution. riding for the establishment of eight now counties, all that are allowed un der the constitutional amendment. The matter of new counties is now up to the senate. SIXTY-EIGHT NEW CASES. Panama Another Canal Official in Gives Up His Job. A Panama dispatch says: W. E.

Thursday's advices from New O.- leans stated that the situation dots not look so good in the face of such a steady augmentation in tho number of new cases and new sub-fcci.

LUSTER ADMITS FOUL CRIME. Says He Placed Pistol to Wife’s Head and Pulled the Trigger. "Yes, I killed her. I bought a powder at the drug store to make her sleep, but she would not. Then, when she was not looking, I put the gun to hei head and fired.” The above is the confession of Per cy Luster, who killed his wife at Guthrie, Kv., about two weeks ago, to Chief of Detectives Pender, at Og den, Utah, Friday morning. Luster will icturn to Guthrie without requisition papers. He is a complete nervous wreck. ABOLISHES COLORED MILITIA. OCCUPATION TAX FOR GEORGIA. FRENCH CLAIMS ALLOWED.

The senate amended the measure phovidlng that the reformatory should be located at the prison farm. Opposition to President Was Not of Sufficient Fc'ce to Defeat Him. Despite the sentiment against Pres ident Cornelius P. Shea, which haJ been plainly manifested at various times during the convention of the International Bro'herhood of Team sters at Philadelphia, there were enough delegates favorable to his ad ministration to secure his re-election. SOUTH CAROLINA l 2 STATE NEWS ITEMS. Accepts Challenge of Tillman. C. P. Sims, a lawyer of Spartan- lurg and a stanch prohibitionist, is willing to accept the challenge mad® u few days ago to meet Seagdor Till man in joint debate on the whiskey question, and has sent him a letter to that effect. Charleston Greatly Interested. Tho revelations of the dispensary in- | vcs'igation were especially interesttns to Charleston. Charleston county has the largest number of dispensaries, ho tel privileges, retail beer establish ments, two beer bottling works and a brewery and the opportunities of gnaft i are consequently greater. His Citizenship in Doubt. John Leonard,'' tbe insane man of t Anderson county, who has figured in the newspapers owing to the fact that the asylums of the states of North Carolina nud South Carolina have re fuged admittance to him because of an uncertainty of his citizenship, is confined to the jail in Spartanburg, having been transferred from Ander. son. Excursions 'Under the Ban. The board of health of Charleston has put the week-end excursions from Augusta, Columbia and other places over the Southern railway under the ban, calling off all special excursions, on account of the lax regard which has characterized the issue of healta certificates at the interior ci'ios and towns. The board thought that the chances were too great. To Discuss Trolley Line. There was a meeting in Piercetown last Tuesday in tbe interest of the proposed trolley line between Easley and Anderson. The speakers for the occasion were R. S. L’.gom, M. L. Bon ham, J. A. Brock, Fred G. Brown, Dr. S. M. Orr, and Dr. George Coughlin, of Anderson; Dr. Frank Smith and WL M. Hagcod of Easley, Hon. J, F.

Orders from Washington have been received at the Philadelphia mint to cease operations and dispense- with the services of the 600 employees, ex cept those necessary to attend to the affairs of the institution when coinage is stopped. The 1,000,000 pesos being ecJned for tbe Panama government will be fin ished in a few days, and there is no more bullion to hi Cbtlaed. , , REFUSE TO ARBITRATE STRIKE. Railroad Officials Have Said Final Word to Telegraphers. There will be no arbitration of the strike of the telegraphers against the Great Northern railway. That was finally decided Thursday by General Superintendent Slade, who sent word to the reporters that eo far as the j Great Northern was concerned strike is a closed Incident. the Horrible Fate of Negro Who Attempt ed Assault on Little Girl. A negro, charged with criminally assaulting tho daughter of a widow, was caught and burned at the stake in the court house square at Sulphur Springs, Texas, Friday, before an im mense crowd of excited citizens. The name of the negro was Tom WilliamE. He ettemp'ed to assault a 14-year-o!d girl. Little resistance was made to the mob by the officers. erything was feund O. K. by ♦he i”- i'erai hours, wfiTi il (JUUH'il^ie gathering of a large, curious crowd. The result of the investigation is very gratifying, especially in view of the fact that a great deal of rottenness is being unearned in other local dis pensaries. Held on Forgery Charge. E. H. Durham, a young man of Gaff ney, has been arrested and lodged in jail on a charge of forgery. He is al leged to have signed Magistrate Brid ges’ name to the probate of a chattel mortgage. Durham claims that he signed the probate with the permission of the magistrate. After preliminary examination by Magistrate Spear, he was committed to jail in default of bond for $300. lie gave bond later and is now at liberty. Delay in Calling Election. Count y S upervisor Miles has not yet passed on the petition calling for an election on the question of dispen sary or no dispensary for Spartanburg. He said that he was ready to begin the work of verifying the sigua’ures with the names of those on the regis tration books, but it seems that those advocating the voting out of the dis pensaries want him to use their I sis in his work. Mr. Miles agreed to comply with their their requests if the accuracy of the names could be certified to in pi'oper manner. This was refused, so unless a list is furnished within thc next few days the registration books will be used. Probing the Rice Blast. Dr. Havin Metcalf, state botanist and special agent of the United States agricultural department, is prosecuting an investigation of the rice blast which has made its appearance on several plantations in the vicinity of Charles ton. The planters and dealers are look ing forward to a very successful yea-, since a good yield is promised, if the blight does not spread and cause se rious damage. The existence of yellow fever Louisiana will cause a scarcity of la bor on the plantations in the south west and will otherwise militate against thc- sale of the western rice, thus benefiting the Atlantic coast plante; s. Alleged PostcfFce Robber Jailed. Thomas H. Lacey, who is under in dictment in the fedeial court on three charges of conspiracy to rob, breaking into cud robbing a postofflee at Mc- Cail, this state, has been brought from Raleigh, N. C-, and placed in the jail Spartanburg, to be more accessi- .e when the time of his trial comes. District Attorney John G.

Smith Created Sensation. C. O. Smith, who figured prom nent- ly in the d spensary investigation at 'par anbv.rg in the testimony of other witnesses, was put on the stand. There were two sensational incidents in h s testimony’. He testified that he found J. H. Mcrris, who had testified against Smith, in a house of 111-fame drunk. “You ara a liar,” said Morris, who was in the room, and arose from his seat promptly. “You’re another,” retorted Smith, and the chairman rapped for order and finally objected to it. The other sensational incident was the admission of Smith that he had offered £500 to Wall, another member of the hoard, to support Thaokstonw for election as beer dispenser. Wall was not in tho court room, but an affi davit read by Mr. Lyon said practi- fally the same thing, although it did net mention Srai'hs name. Smith also, under the examination of Mr. Lyon, said that while he bad made mistakes he had tried to enforce the law, and denied that he had re ceived any money from Toland. He admitted accepting a watch from To land, however, after an election. To land was a former beer dispenser. Engines, Boilers, Cotton, Faw.
