A P week ago today, he said, an illicit t diatiller drove from one end of the e town to the other dispensing e whiskey fresh from a blockade f distillery. j <i "The gentleman stated that the 1 s constables had been withdrawn, o and the town authoritiea were a powerless to stop the traffic.

Military circles it) St. Petersburg are snid to be startled by the news, although t)iey were nware of the fact thatsiucp Kojestvensky's Heet was out of the way, tljeie was nothing to prevent tjje Japanese from landing whenever they got ready. The news from Manchuria shows nothing qf .eonsequence as having occurred there. President RooseyeP has taken steps to have the beligerents sign an armistice, but so far has not been successful. It seems, however, that this makes but little difference, as there is not much inoliuatiqn on the part of the forces iu Manchuria to do any heavy fighting. It may be, however, that Oyama will endeavor to cut off Vladivostock, by taking a position on the railroad betiyepu tlio port and Harbin. The situation iu the Black Sea has improved, the mutinous crew of the Kniaz Potemkine surrendering to Roumanian officers.

When the Equitable insurance squabble was begun many who looked beneath the surface came to the couclusiou that whatever might have been the motives at the beginning' which prompted the officials who are waging war 3ti each other, says the Manufacturers' Record, the real fight was between Morgan and Harriinan I For the control of the com nan v I with itR enormous assets. No one imagined that either Morgan or tiarriman proposed to utilize these insets in any but a legitimate way, but how vast is the power which the control of such a company $ivos may be realized from the fact that the $400,000,000 of assets s equal to more than half the nnlioiial hanking capital of the United States. The purohase of a ontrol of the company with Mr. Llyan, and his close association with Mr. Morgan, taken in connection with other tilings bearing mi the mutter, can only be interpreted n Morgan victory, thus entitling Mr. Morgan to add one nore vast aggregation of wealth to his entourage. With the Equit- j ihle and the New York Life close- I y affiliated with Morgan interests. I aid with tho Mutual Life proba- I )ly not unfriendly?in fact, the report now being that the Mutual Life is interested in the purchase >f the Equiluble?the enormous lower of $1,500,000,000 assets iwned or controlled by these three :otn panics is probably practically missed for any active financial Movement. This power is loo vast !or safety and for the good of the .oniitry. , It will be better in the long run liiould the fight in and for the Squitable cause the whole country , o seriously consider the question if insurance. It seems hardly pos nDle to helieve that the purchase ! >f a control of tho stock ami the | ( Management. of thin property by loople who have been bitterly ??h- i ' iniled for alleged illegnl acts will >vercomo the criticisms which lave been called out by the re- i riminntions of tho officers and lilectors, and if the final result f all this trouble should lend to i lessening of tho relative power >f n few of the great insurance ompnnies the country will he bet er off for it. We believe that the i normons drain of money from cv- 1 ry section into the treasury of a I ew big insurance companies is a I i h t i 11 < * I ilisad vantage. It has re ' lilted in too great a concentration < f wealth and power, and at the 1 nm? time in loo grent a cost of nsnrance. For years the South ml the West have poured into < lie Fast millions and tens of mil- 1 om- for insurance premiums. In > lines past this may haw been I' eoessnry, but now the South is ? nanoially strong enough to or- ; i ani-zc its own insurance compnii- . t and it ought to finance many ' ' f its own business undertakings, 1 I ml ought to thiiH concentrate hi it s own companies, banking, in-'t nrnnce nnd others, some of tlie ? ast wealth which i(. has heretofore ' I een helping to pile up in New j I rork. i 4?- 2 The pupils of St. Jntnos Method- t it church, colored, are arranging 1 j'luuc a hig Sunday school picio on Friday, the 21st, in the old ( fhite spring lot, uoith of town. a Tillman Talks Dispensary. While the speech nf Senator Tillman at Greenville on the 4th ingtaftt was popimfbst disappointing to those j^Iio had expected he would take the atatqs of the dispensary as a text fqr his remarks, he has set himself straight in the matter in reply to a request from Mr. F. W. Higgineoa, of Newberry. Senator Tillman sticks to his original text that the dispensary system is the best way to handle u?.. *!. n i:? it _ 11411 vi mi uuuiii v^niuuut}. rj" says, in subgtanee, that the system is as near perfect as possible, but the trouble has been in the management. He admits that there has been corrupt dealings in its management; that the law as it stands upon the statutes haq not been faithfully and to the letter carried out, that it is not the fault of the py3tem, jbut of those who hud the carrying out of the law in their hands, and that it has grown unpopular with the people from this yery fact. He contends thai the towns should not vote out the dispensary, but instead, if the people of the Ctate want to abolish the dispensary, it should be left to tho entire people-. lie does not believe in putting the sale of whiskey into the hands of the people upon the high lioense principle, for this would have the effect to place the business ip the hands of a few rich men, thereby creating a monopoly, lie is not willing for the people to monopolize the whiskey business, but wants the State to continue its monopoly. He insists that tho system is all right and should remain in the hands of tho State; that good men can be secured to carry out the law. Ho Hays if the dispensary be abolished by the people and any other system of selling whiskey he contemplated, he will 8tump?the State for prohibition. He holds the legislature responsible and hints that what changes have been made has done no good toward bettering the management. Fie insistB that the State should control tho s-le of whiskey and that the sale should 1 .. 1- 1 : nave mini resiriouous MR would reduce the sale to a minimum of necessity for its use rather than bb n beverage and profit, ami that this can be done under the dispensary system and not otherwise, not even by prohibition legislation. The City of Odessa. The city of Odessa, the scene of the most startling developetnonts in the growth of revolution in the Czar's empire, is the most important city and seaport, in Southern Prussia and the fourth city of the empiro in population. It is situated in the goverment of Kherson, on an elevation sloping toward an inlet of the Hlaek Sea. Tt lies about 32 miles northeast of the mouth of the Dniester and 038 miles by rail southeast of .Moscow. The general appearance and at- ! mosphere of Odessa are rather European than Russian. The city i was built during the nineteenth century, and is. therefore the youngest among the largo cities of Russin. Tt is regularly laid out around the bay, and has a number of tine streets and squares, from which magnificent views of the sen are obtained. Tlu? most popular boulevard is the Nikolayevsky boulevard, from which a grand stairway lends to the bay. The Russians of Ofie6sn comprise scarcely one-third of the inhabitants of the city, about 150,000 of the residents being .Tews and the reitiAihdtsr Greeks, Armenians, T 1. 1 ' v ? .iiii KH ana peopio oi various European nationalities, In general the members of the lower el a sees of Odessa are persons of the most desperate character.
