SLOT MACHINES, Except Those Where There is No Element of Chance, ARE DEAD IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The Franchise Tax Bill Passed. Several Other Bills Receive Their Third Reading; in the Senate. At the morning session of the sen ate Wednesday two bills of much i m portance were disposed of. The slot machine bill provides with certain amendments that no machines shall be'either operated or kept on any one's premises. The exemptions made are as to machines in which the coin put in gets a certain and uniform return and in which there is no element of chance. The other bill is that to tax I the franchises of corporations, that is, I on a basis of the amount of business I dune. Both of these bills were sent I to the house. ? As said, the slot machine bill was amended so as to exempt weighing,' measuring, musical and vending ma chines and all machines which give for the coin a certain fair and uniform return and to which there is no ele ment of chance. Thus it is seen that slot gas and electric meters, telephone booths, shoe lace, chewing gum ma chines, weighing machines and those of a like kind will not be shut out. The exemptions were made through amendments by Senators Hydrick and Sheppard. The bill also provides that none of the machines not exempted shall be kept on anyone's premises. There was a very lengthy debate on the bill, some senators wishing to j iexempt the slot machines indicated, | j others wishing to kill the use of all i I and others taking the position that the bill was striking against the rights of the individual. The matter of Chief Boyle's raiding the machines in Charleston was closely linked with the debate. The immigration bill with its1 amendments was received by the sen ate, which concurred in the amend ments. The tax commission's house bill to require corporations to pay annual license fees and to report their sta tistics to the secretary of state came in for discussion, Senator Raysor wishing the reports to be made to the comp troller general. His amendment was adopted. Senator Peurifoy opposed the one half mill tax on the property values of corporations as he was convinced that it would keep out of the State foreign corporations and force some domestic ones to suspend business. Senator Walker made an expected move when he proposed to kill the bill. He did not think that the State should - enforce double taxation and that was what che bill amounted to. John Smith, the merchant, cannot be taxed but if his firm is the John Smith com pany he is subject to taxatiou unless protected by ''limited liability" which Senator Walker thought was really meant by the constitutional convention as a help to corporate interests. He could understand the taxation of the intangible property of the express, telegraph and telephone companies, but the railroads own tangible proper ty which could be taxed. Senator G. W. Ragsdale said he did not think this was the right way to raise money and that he agreed with Senator Walker. He did not think it would be just to exempt merchautile institutions. It is not right to make one pay a tax which his competitor does not and thus it, is not right toex i empt any. I f money had not been ex pended so extravagantly in the past 10 i years there would be no need for the j bill. Senator Hood thought there were some corporations which enjoyed such | ! privileges that they should be taxed. ] : Others, however, enjoyed no more' i privileges than individuals and they should be exempted, lie wanted to ; strike out. the section providing thati lall State corporations other than those ; of a quasi public nature be charged the J j one-half mill tax. , Senator Raysor spoke against any j I distinction of this kind. He thought any corporation of any kind should be willing to pay I he fee for the privilege J of being incorporated. Senator McLeod announced thai he j 'was personally interested in mercan tile concerns and that he though I it ; perfectly fair for tlieui to be required I I to pay this fee. They are not now re Iquired under the present laws to bear ! their proper share of taxat ion. ! As a member of the committee ? which framed the bill. Senator Mower explained it purposes clearly audio-, tell igen tly. He .said thai ii was, I merely a tax on the franchise of the (corporations. The line was drawn j bei ween qtlasi public corporal inns and I ol hers. The commit lee bad made l he inosl equhuhle disposition lhal . ii 1 could: nothing was taxed in the bill I which is uiifaxed under t he laws of the State for t ho reason ton I r bis one-j i all mill lax is placed on 1 he right of the corporations to do business and the only tax now existing proper ty tax such a-. 00 I'tillmaii it?m panies. ct<\ Senator Walker's motion to kill the bill was rejected. Seitatoi Mm id's mo tion to strike out wr.i.iun four of the act did not med with favor. Me then movett to reduce the laxon certain companies, but ibis was also killed. Another amendment tabled was that of Senator.). W. Ragsrlale to include in the bill only corporations enjoying condemnation arid universal domain. Senator Hood sent in an amendment to hang up the applied inn of the bill until Jan. 1, 1005. The bill was then read a third time and sent to the house. At the night session several changes, were made in the supply bill as fol lows: Charleston, regular levy changed ? il tu 1- mills: Darlington from mills, and -j mill I'oi court ? ? : 1 iiMlviiic ff'oiu 'ij in 1 and : mill for convicts and roads: Newberry from :i to mills and ! mill for indexing court house r ? ords. j ? mator Dean's vagrancy bill was so j a mdedas tobe satisfactory to its j exponents and was sent to the house. I It now means that a vagrant can es cape being jailed if he wishes by get ting a bondsman, who will stand In the sum of -S500 for his good behavior for a year. He cannot, however, be employed by his bondsman unless the magistrate sees that a regular con tract is entered into. This is to pre vent peoange. The following third reading bills were read to allow RobertStephenson Simons to apply for admission to the bar. Mr. Simons is a minor but will be of age in one month. To allow the State veterinarian to destroy and regulate the care of animals with contagious diseases. To raise the salary of the adjutant general; to amend the traveling expenses of the county superintendent of Abbeville: to extend the deer hunting season in Darlington by beginning in January instead of 1 February; relating to magistrates in Kershaw; to grant lands in Columbia, Spartanburg, Georgetown and York to the govern ment for federal buildings; to pay L. M. Mahaffey past due school salary: to determine the county line between Suraterand Lee. Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh. Medicines Sent Free.

When asked by the Washington Post for an expression on Senator Hanna's death, Senator Tillman said: "Senator Hanna won a place for himself in the senate eqalled by few men among us simply throught his manliness. When he came to the sen ate he was painted in lurid colors, and the senate was suspicious of him. He won the day in short time, bow ever, through his manly and straigh foward character. "He was one of the true type of progressive, aggressive and capable American manhood that does things. We have had men in the senate more brilliant, but few who equalled Sena tor Hanna in plain, honest manliness and effective ability. He was at one time a very much maligned man; in fact, during one of the latest talks I had with him we laughingly discussed our relative grievances In that re spect. I remember that I remarked to him that if we were both as bad as we were sometimes made out to be we ought to be hung. " 'Yes, senator,' he replied. 'I, have been quite relieved since I came here to find that you were not such an un speakable scoundrel as 1 thought you were." Ancient and Modern Advice About how to Acquire Wealth.

The Whole Truth About the First Fight at Port Arthur. JAPS LOST THREE WAR VESSELS. What an English Correspondent Says About the Losses of the Rus sians and the Japanse War Ships. There has been a great deal written about the first battle between the Japanese and Russians at Port Arthur. It was claimed that the Russians lost three vessels, while the Japanese loss was nothing. These dispatches came from Japanese sources, as was censor ed to suit them. It now appears that the Japanese lost more than the Rus sians. The correspondent of the Lon don Morning Post, which paper is op posed to the Russians and in favor of the Japanese, cabling from Manchuria to his paper on Wednesday says: ''I have just reached here by special train from Port Arthur, and, to save.' time, have written my account while traveling on a locomotive. About midnight on Monday. Feb. 8th, the town was roused by the Bring of big guns. 1 hastened to a hill battery and saw that six Japanese torpedo boats had approached within half a mile of the Russian fleet and were showing lights, funnels and signals just like those of the Russians. The Japanese torpedo boats crept quite close to the Russian ships before they were discovered. Each of the Japanese boats dis charged torpedoes, three of which took effect, striking the battleships Tsarevitch and Retzivan and the cruiser Pallada. The three damaged ships returned to the harbor to avoid sinking. Notwithstanding the continuous lire from the ships and forts, four of the Japanese torpedo boats escaped. One, however, was sunk, and another, which was in a sinking condition, was deserted by her crew anr7 was after wards captured by the Russians. The action ceased at :i a. m. The loss on the Russian ships was eight killed and twenty wounded. Apart from the disablement of three Russian ships, the damage done to the lleet and forts was not very great. ? There were many Russian torpedo boat de stroyers in the harbor, but they were not ready to resist the attack. The Japanese, in fact, created a great deal of surprise, not only by their unex pected onlslaught, but by the prompt ness and bravery with which they acted. On Tuesday morning, Feb. 9. news arrived from Dalny that the Japanese fleet was steering westward, in attack formation. It came in sight about 11 a. m. There were in all fifteen ships, two lines of battle?six battleships, six first-class cruisers and three sec ond class cruisers. The Russians had outside thirteen large vessels, under Admiral Stark, on the flagship Petro pavlovak, and Rear Admiral Prince Moktompsky. on the llagship Peres viet, excluding the Pallada and the Tsarevitch, the latter the flagship of Rear Admiral Mol las, and the Retvi san, which was lying aground across the inner harbor entrance. It was low water. The action was commenced by the big guns of the land battery. The morning was dull, with a light wind, and the heavy smoke rendered it diffi cult to observe the details of the ac tion, but J witnessed all that was pos sible from Beacon Hill, opposite the entrance to the harbor, in line of the lire. Two shells fell near us and about twenty others fell in the old town and the western harbor where many steamers Hying neutral Hags were anchored. After the commence ment of the action all of the people lied toward a hill outside the town, under protect ion. A little while, after the first shell was tired a big 12-inch one exploded, j smashing t he office fronts of t be Suen-1 berg's Valu Concessions Company, and the Pusso-Chinese bank. The si reels were then entirely deserted bill the local police kepi splendid order. There was no looting: women and children were very brave. On both sides I encountered over .'?uo shells, few of which reached t he mark. (Ubers did not explode. During the action several merchant steamers out side the roads moved their position, but none was allowed to leave its an chorage in ihe harbor. Regiments from the adjoining bar racks and camps came pouring through the town to take up defensive posi tions in the event of the Japanese landing. The Japanese warships steamed slowly past, in line of battle, to the westward and about lour miles oil', each vssel beginning to lire when opposite t he Russian ships, which were i two miles oil shore. The. action be came general. There was no maneu vering, simply heavy and fast tiring. Tlie IIring ceased at noon, i he Ja panese >hips withdrawing to the southward, having lost one battleship ami one large cruiser pul out of act ion. ( >ne small boat was eba ?.*d and sunk by the Xovik (Russian}, which afterward received a shell at thewa-j tor line, but reached im ill all right. ! Admiral Stark signalling "Well done" | while all the rest of the lleet cheered her arrival. Even the three Russian ships aground lired iluriiuj I he an ion. Afterward the Tsarevitch got . at high water ami was lowed into a large basin, where she is now Isdng repaired- The Pallada ell'eeled her , ? .mi repairs and rejoined the lleet. The Retvisan was still aground when I left. The casualties on tlie Russians side were t wenty-l w'o killed and si xt \ - four wounded. Nearly half of the casual! ies occurred on t he I 'allada and ,' the Sovile. The Japanese Meet sailed southward at 1 p. hi. and all was quiet. The wounded were brought ashore and re-, moved to hospitals. Aller Monday night's action many Japanese lorpe does were found Moating outside Hie harbor. They were secured and their mechanism was extracted. During! t he aft ernoou V iceroy A lexielT ordered all the women, children and non-com batants lo leave. The slow special trains were crowded and ran as often as possible from Dalyn. The women and children were immediately remov ed in an English steamer. ORRINE A'Scientific Cure for Drunkenness.
