Even after the returns are complete from Cincinnati.

C\, Special. ? For the pist year, nnder instructions from the President, the State Depart ment has been quietly negotiating for the consummation of American interests in China. The officials of the State Department flatly refuse to make any statement relative to the mea/ure of success that has attended their efforts, though it is admitted that the subject is so far still open, although the prospects of ultimate success are regarded up highly en couraging. A government official in high reputation who has large expert ence In Chinese questions, Is au thority for the statement that our government does not apprehend any Immediate injury to American in terests from tho political moves that are being made in China. On the contrary, the conditions are such in the Flowery Kingdom that there is reason to believe that ho far from restraining the operation* of the United States in the matter of trade extension In that quarter, nations whioii havo under one or another pretext seized upon portions of the Chinoso coast, would actually wel come our advent as calculated t?> ma terially assist their own efforts to break down Chinese conservation and open up vast markets In the interior of China to tho trade of clvllIzoU na tions.

Some thought this commit tee might got In (;:i tho ground floor and start an investigation in behalf of the General Assembly and get come data on which the members could work when they got here. It Is stated that tho legislative com mittee would have liked to have gone to work examining witnesses and finding out what there was In tho qharges of Mr. Oir/.ts and others. Th$- committee did not care to go ahead without full authority and. upon making proper Inquiry, found that its powers were restricted to '?\amining and reporting oil tho books, accounts and stor^ /?<?' the in stitution. and that it had no right or power to examine witnesses or brlu-s papers and persona before it. It will take a special legislative committer, with full authority, to get Into the dispensary mess and muddle. The Roller mil Industry. The roller mill Industry Is geeilng to bo nn import mil one in South Car olina, keeping pace with tho determi nation of the farmers to sow more Wheat than for years past. There^'s every evidence that ihe wheat crop l IfV year will bo largely Increased, although thi~ g"!txl result of recent agitation may bo somewhat changed j by the tempting price of cotton, as the I advance in price ot the staple is likely to lure many farmers Into a chase af t( r a fleeting phantom. Then, too, when one farmer &<os another sowing grair.g, the first thinks he will be very sly and plant more cotton, as the do I eroased acreage will mean an increas ed price. The result, of course, is that there is no decreased acreage. Hut the flour mills an* becoming so numerous thnt there is bound to be a local demand for wheat, and farmer* will bo worne than foolish If they do not take advantage of the opportun ity. Most of the mills in this State arc comparatively small/ and their business is done on an exchange ba I sis. Br/idy Shot l-'ive Times. ,, Abbeville, Special. ? A B. Brady, n son of former representative Wright Brady, of Sumter county, was shot and very seriously wounded on the street. here by Win. Gales. Brady had been abusing Gates for having arrested him about two years ago, when the latter was marshal of Abbeville. They were uolng out of (own to settle the difficulty when Brady suddenly assaulted Gates with a knife, and the latter fired live phots, each taking effect. Brady was wounded in thn neek, shoulder, stomach and both arms. Gates was arrested and te in the Jail, but It Ik generally believed the hhootiiiK was done In self-defence. Superintendent of Education Mc Mah^n was busy Saturday sending outjrhc circulars announcing^- tho meeting of the eounly superintendents of education In Columbia during fair week. It is likely that a largo unr bcr will attend, aw the many attrac tions at the fair will bring many of them to Columbia any way. Governor AfeSweency granted a pardon to Jno.

Ojlnions of Mi.i witnesses were frorly taUon as t<? tho capability of Filipinos for self gove;nmont, as t(? tho form of gov ernment best suited to thorn, and as to their hnb't*, customs, condition and int'.illgt nee. In addition tho com in I >n Id n received a great nnmhor ( f papois and cnmniunicaiions oa many pending questions." Here follows n historical sketch ol tho Islands chlet'y relating to rebel lions against Spain, unrcdeefed prom ises of Spain, and her government of the islands; also a memorandum of Dewey's relations wlt.h Agulnaldo, which was furnished by Dtnvey. In this Dewey tells <>r permission being given to Agulnaldo to come from Hong Koug to th<; Philippines and of his arrival and boarding tho Olympla May 19th, and Kavs: "No alliance of any kind was en tered with Agnlnaldo nor any prom ise of indepundenee made to him then or any other time." Tho memorandum goes on to brief ly review events preceding the out break of Filipino* against Anieri"ins, and tells of persistent attempts mr.de to provoke American soldiers to *1 r<*. th^>FllipinoB' contempt for Ameri can sentinels and their ignoring their orders. It briefly reviews tho out break of hostilities February It!), in Kiigurated by a party of insurgents attempting to pass the American lines, and says the commission is of the opinion that there had been no time since the destruction of the Spanish squadron when 1t was possi ble to withdraw our forces front the islands, either with honor to our selves or with safety to th^ inhabi tants." When they reached Manila, the re port continues, the situation in tho city was bad. Incendiary fires occur red daily, and in many provinces there was absolute anarchy. The commission then relates its ex perience in establishing civil govern ment in a number of towns In Luzon, and says that governments were or ganized with most satisfactory re sult?. In a number of towns. At tho time of its departure, the commission says, ? large volume of business was being done, and the streets were ho crowded as to be hardly wife. In regard to conditions in other Islands outside of 'Luzon, the commis sion reports : "The only island, apirt from Luzon, where serious trouble threatens is Panay, to which a con siderable force of Tagalog soldiers wag sent before the outbreak of hostili ties. The island of Negros Is desesv Jng of special mention. Its civilized inhabitants iiro exceptionally pros perous and enlightened." The commission declares that tho re bellion is not a national movement, and says that throughout the archi pelago trouble only existed at points to which armed Tagalogs had been sent. Business was at a standstill and a regln of terror prevailed. Referring to the issuing of the com mission's proclamation, the report says: "Objection was raised by Insurgent* that the Spaniards had promised even more than we did, and had done noth ing. They asked for acts. The com mission was anxious to meet this very Justifiable demand, and as n flr.rt. step strOngly urged the re-establishment of law court*. This action greatly aided in the restoration of public conlidcuco. A tlow of population soon beg?,n to set toward the city." With regard to the Filipinos' capaci ty for self-government, tho commis sion conculdes that 5 after ueveral months of study, self-government can not be assumed without considerable previous training and experience un der the guidance and tutelage of an en lightened and liberal sovereign power. Should our power by any fatality be withdrawn, the commission believes fhn government of the Philippines would speedily lapse into anarchy. Wo caunot, from f?ny point of view, escape tho responsibilities of govern ment which sovereignty entails, and the commission is strongly persuaded that the performance of our national duty will provo the greatest blessing to the people of tho Phllllppine Islands." A The commission j?A.ys a glowing trib ute to tlK^sailors 4nd soldiers la the war, and concludes by declaring t h - 1 the Philippines are rich in agricul tural and forest products, as well ?s mineral wealth, and predicting ?fhat they arc destined to become one of the great trade centers of the East. The report continues: "Our control means to the Inhabit tants of the Philippines internal peace and order, a guarantee against foreign ?egression and against the dismem berment ol their country, coxaoifcicl*} and industrial prosperity and as targe a share c I affairs of governnwet as they shall prove fit to take. When peace and prosperity shall have been established throughout the arcbtpc- j logo, when education shall have bo vouie general, then. In the language of ?a lead?*g Filipino, bis people will, under oar guidance, 'become mora | American than the Americana tbem JKlvea.'
