000,000 Has Been Saved.
Each house of congress Saturday
night marked its closing hours by
voting for an Investigation of the
Mc^Iurray Indian contracts. Instead
of the usual scene of comparatively
undignified relaxation from the business
of legislation, both houses devoted
exceedingly serious attention
to the charges of attempted bribery
and other forms of improper influence
made In the senate Friday by
Senator Gore of Oklahoma and subsequently
lu the house by Representative
Murphy of Missouri.
Two Beperate investigations are
provided for?one In each house.
Kach body pass*Ml a resolution creating
a select committee of five members
to pursue the Inquiry to the
bottom during recess of congress and
to report whether any of its members
are, or have been, interested In
any of these contracts. Until a lute
honr in the day It looked rather as
If the matter would go by default.
Bat us booi as the two houses reconveyed
at 9 o'clock that night,
after a recess since afternoon, the
matter came up with a rush, and
crowded galleries listened with intense
interest to the proceedings,
which ended lu the vote to Drobe
the charge*.
Vice-President Sherman announced
the following committee to conduct
the senate Investigation: Senators
Jones of Washington; Rdrton of Ohio,
Crawford of South Dakota, Hughes
of Colorado, and Perry of Mississippi.
Senator Hughes In presenting his
Investigation resolution stated that
Senator Gore's accusations were so
grave that they could not be ignored.
The resolution was adopted without
opposition. It is as follows:
"Resolved. That a committee of
five, to be appointed by the chair, be
and it is hereby, directed to Investigate
and report whether any senator
of the United States is or during
his term of office has been interested
or called with or connected
with legislation affecting the approval
of Indian contracts or has done
anything because of said interest and
whether any Improper attempts or
efforts to prevent or to secure a
statute affecting the approval of ludian
contracts have been made at
this session of congress; and said
committee is authorized to sit and
proceed in the vacation.
The bouse adopted a substitute
resolution, offered by Mr. Tawney
(Minn.), creatlug a committee of
flvo to investigate the contracts with
the Choctaw, Chicksaw and Osage
tribes, the inquiry to embrace any
acts of bribery, fraud, or any other
Improper influence. The committee
is to file its reports when completed
with the clerk of the house.
llillion Dollar Session.
The final figures on the appropriations
made at the sec-caul session of
the sixty-first congress, just closed,
analyzed from both the Republican
and Democratic standpoint, will be
Klven out by the house appropriations
committee.
Chairman Tawney, of the committee,
claims the aggregate is less than
a billion dollars, while Democratic
leaders charge an excess of that lim- j
it. The statements have been delayed
because of the latneBs of the
final action on important supply
measures.
Mr. Sultzer, of New York. Democrat,
charges that it has been a Inland
millions more with a venand
millions more with a vengeance."
Mr. Tawney claims that the appropriations
for the fiscal year 1H! 1
are less than for the current year
and that most of the- bills are less
than the estimates submitted for
them. Republican Leader Payne
contends that the appropriations are
a substantial reduction from those
of last year without taking into account
at all any increase accruing
Trom the increased business in the
country.
Mr. Payne declares that while the
appropriation and expenditures for
the current fiscal year are much larger
than that for the last fiscal year,
$4,000,000 has so far been saved by
cutting down administration expenses.
Mr. Payne concedes that many
millions could be saved if one great
business man had the country's
whole business in his charge.
Workmen Found Jars of (lolri.
The discovery of ten earthen jars
by workmen while excavating on the
site of the old Carmne Convent, near
Puebla, Mex., has crested quite t
stir in the republic. It is claimed
the jars contained $500,000 which
the law requires should he paid into
the treasury, but the workmen
have disappeared with their gold.
WAR IN CHINATOWN
AS A RESULT TWO CELESTIALS
WILL LIKKLY DIE.
Another In Shot Through Thigh and
Seven Are Arrested After the Banquet
Proceeds.
The furtive tong war that sleeps,
but never dies In aplte of threats,
promises and solemn treaties, broke
out Sunday afternoon In Chinatown,
in New York City. In ninety seconds
three Chinamen were shot, two of
them fatally, a third was painfully
wounded, and more than 40 shots
were fired. Three minutes following,
seven Chinamen had been arrested.
It happened that the li.OOOth anniversary
of the founding of the Society
of Four Brothers fejl on the
day of rest, and in its honor the
members were to give a banquet iu
Pell street at five o'clock. A monster
scarlet flag, scalloped in green,
floated from the banquet hall and
guests began to arrive early from
all parts of the city and even from
neighboring towns. Sunday Is market
day for Chinamen. Then the
streets are thickest with sightseers,
and the chop suey restaurants thrive
best and in remote inck rooms the
dice rattle faster aud the dominoes
click sharper.
It was in the midst of this restless,
shuffling throng, sown thick
with policemen, that the shooting
began. There is no certainty of the
precise provocation, but it la generally
understood iu Chinatown tha.
the Ong La>ong tong did not relish
the fact that Chu Ilea, recently acquitted
of murder of an Ong Lecug
tong man. was to be the gsesf of
.honor.
The Hip Sing tong. the Ong Leong
tongs and the Four Brothers occupy
each their street, and no prudent
member of one society trespasses on
iuf territory 01 another. Pickets
had been posted at the ends of Pell
atrnet- by the Four Brothers . and
scouts of the Ons Leo tip f .ft p.itrolled
the adjacent boundary of
Mott street. There were note policemen
on the beat tha*> uo i both
because U?is was Sunday ?e. . because
of the banquet.
Somebody stepped over tt ? tine,
somebody bepan to sue >t. It :s
doubtful if any white man .ni!l er

Ion Handed Down Saturday.
A special dispatoh from Union to
j The State says W. T. Jones has been
refused a uew trial.
Special Judge W. B. Gruber, presiding
in the circuit court for Union |
county, Saturday afternoon handed
down his decision in the ease, where-1
in the defendant, convicted of the
murder of his wife, Marion J >acs. .
is denied the right to again present!
his defense to a Jury of his peers.
The application for a new trial,
after the case had been heard by
Che supreme court and determined
adversely to the defendant, is based
upon alleged misconduct of certain
of the trial Jurors and further upon
allegs^'ons that material evidence
unknown to the defendant has been
discovered since the trial oi the
case.
Judge Gruber. in his decision.'
which covers 12 typewritten pages,'
reviews at some length the testimony ;
introduced by the state at the trial
of the case, coming to the points at
issue in the motion before him. the
judge, after reviewing the proce?*uliiiis
before Judge Memrainger for a
new trial in this case, holes that tue
question as to the alleged miscon|1
liol /v?' ' " * ' 1

passed upon by .Iu.ro Meiuniinger
and that this waiter is. therefore,
res adjudicate and that he has no
power if .he had the inclination to
consider this ground ot that-motion
for a new trial.
The second ground upon which the
motion is based, that of after-aiscoverei
evidenae. is fully considered
in the deco?e. Judge Gruber points
out that the after-discovered evidence
must be material, and that u
could not have been discovered by
the exercise of due dilligcnce before
the trial.
He then discussed the evidence
contained in the affidavits submitted,
by the defendant in suppoit of the
motion for a new trial aud holds',
that it does not. in his opinion, meet
the requirements; that he is not ,
convinced the defendant cou.d not
have discovered the evidence in
time to use it at the trial.
He points out. also, that some of
i the witnesses, whose testimony is alleged
to be newly discovered, wenbound
over to attend the trial and ,
others lived on W. T. Jones places. ;
The judge concludes by over-ruliiig
the motion 011 both grounds The'
defendant's attorneys at once gave
verbal notice of an appeal lo the
supreme court.

One In Southern Priuur That is

In southern France there is a concrete
bridge, known as the Font iiu
Card. which was created in "16 II.
C. The concrete employed in the
building is not composed of crushed |
stone or other small aggregate of
the variety now used in such work,
but was of the old style, consisting
of alternate layers of large ami
small stones, gravel, etc., and of
cementitious materials. Virtuvius
d-scribes t.he materials and methods
in use before the Christian era as
do other writers. It Is very improbable
that the Pont du Curd would
have withstood the rigors of our
?wn climate for this length of time
and its actual state of preservation.

specimens of ancient concrete worn

kind is honestly executed it will ,
outlast the requirements of those 1

Trial for IntHBtk-Wo.?llw-fJieo
Mrilful Attention.
Alfred Poole, an aged negro prls- ]
oner confined to the county jail at
Gaffney to await trial at the next
term of court, committed suicide by
drinking bug killer In bis cell last
Friday night, dying from the effects
about one o'clock.
Poole was arrested about two
weeks ago at Cowpens, charged with
being an accomplice in the killing
of a negro baby at his home near ,
Cowpens. He was about 53 years \
of age. t
It has been the custom of the t
Jailer to supply the prisoners with
bug killer at intervals. When the (
disinfectant was given to Poole ho f
saved it until night camo, and th.?n <
drank it. becoming paralyzed at l
once. Although there were two oth- 1
er prisoners In the same cell, both
of them disclaim any kno ledge of (
the taking of the juice and ciuiiu i
that they knew nothing about the i
affair until they became suspicious
of his loud breathing. When they i
attempted to rouse him they found
him dying. Medical assistance was ?
summoned and although everything
possible was done, Poole soon died.
The evidence tended to show that I
the act had been contemplated for
several days, as he had told his ;
son Sam. who is confined in ttn?
jail as a witness to the murder of i
the infant, that he did not intend
to live much longer. This was i
about three days before the act was i
committed. He seemed to be in fear |
of the outcome of his trial for the
murder of the infant. !
