A REIGN OF TtRROR NOW EXISTS
Cossack* and Infantry Wert Appan
?ntly Uncontrollable, Firing Wan
tonly Into Crowds of Demonstra
tors, and Workmen, in Retaliation)
Retorted to the Use of Fire Arma
and Bombs.
Warsaw, By Cable.? Nearly one hun
dred persons were killed pr wounded
in disturbances in various quarters of
Warsaw Monday, The troops apparent
ly were uncontrollable, and violated all
orders to act with moderation. They
fired into crowds of demonstrators, and
workmen, in retaliation, resorted to
tho use firearms and bomb#> Many
~ women and children are among the
dead and dying, r What approaches a
reign of terror exists, the city presents
a most felootny aspect, and the temper
o I the Witlre community is augurs ill.
May Day opened with every prospect
that the recent gloomy forebodings
would find contradiction in a peaceful
ending. Olprious weather ushered in
the beginning of~the celebrations and
?ill factories, sjjops'and offices of every
tleworlptlon were closed. The streets
.Xv^re crowded from early In the morn
ing with gaily dressed people and
troops.
No untoward incident was reported
jintil after noon. The first disturbances
occurred between*.! and 2 o'clock p. m.,
when a profession of several thousand
workmeu carrying red flags marched
along .ipfilazna street. The demonstra
tion 'was quite orderly, and>, proceeded
w'.lhout molestation for some distance.
Suddenly several squadrons of Uhlans
appeared, but without interfering with
the procession, and took up a position
~ along the sidewalks while the workmen
passed through the lines. Then accom
pany or infantry appioacned from the
front, and immediately . the calvary
churgod into the procession, driving it
with the flat of their swords into a
disorganized mass. When the calvary
withdrew the infantry fired a volley,
wiiereupou the demonstrators, turned -
and fled. The infantry continued to
discharge volleys . into the retreating,
shrieking multitude. Thirty-one per
sons were killed and many wounded,
and of the latter it is believed that fif
teen will die. '
\ SHOOWNG UNPROVOKED,
i The shooting is described.. as having
tjeeri quite unprovoked. It has aroused
- the most intense indignation among all
elapses in Warsaw. Many of those who
were killed or wounded, wcreshoiin
the back, showing that they were run
ning away when they were struck.
? Ancfther terrible scene was enacted
at 5 o'clock p. m., at the corner of
Belota and'Bosnore streets, when work
men fired from behind a wall at * pa
trol. which Immediately opened fire on j
the passing crowds, killing or wound- j
Ingtwenty persons.
*" The first bomb throwing occurred at
9.35 o'clock, when a bomb was thrown
Into a Cossack patrol -near the Vienna
station. Three Cossacks and one police
? man killed, and two women who
were leaving tbe: station at the time
tvere severely wtnmded by the explos
ion of the bomb. Cossacks and infan
try fired & number of volleys, and It is
reported that many persons were killed
or woundr Troops surrounded the
Whole neighborhood. It has been im-.
possible up to the present time to se
cure accurate Information as to the cas- ,
ualties of this affair.

Union Schools.
?j
Union, Special. ? "The indications tire
tl at the enrollment of pupils in the
graded schools of Union will thin year
exceed by far the enrollment of last
year," said Superintendent Jeffries to
a press representative one day this
week. "In -fact, including the night
schools I have reason to believe that
the enrollment will probably reach
over 2,000. As it now is, Union holds
the rccord In South. Carolina for the
number of children who attend school
in proportion to the population, l>ast
year the enrollment was 1,883 from a
population which numbers alnnit 10.
000, which includes Monarch and A<;t"a.
but doesn't count in Buffalo. "Accord
ing to the national superintendent's di
rectory received tfWs week, I tee thnt
there are but thrfce other places in
South Carolina that hayp-nrTargcr en
rollment than Uttfon, namely, Charles
ton, 8,161, withiUMUt 60,000 population;
Columbia 2,8331 with about 35,000 in
habitants, and fin Spartanburg, which I
believe, claims" some 15,000 people, the
enrollment ip 2,298. The figures show
that Union Imd more enrolled than
had GreonVHfe, 103 mrtre than Ander
son. ana 343 more' than Sumter, the
other towns of the State falling fax be
low these figures. I have not examined
the directory very carefully yet. 'hut an
examination showed last year that, the
record held by Union for the proportion
of her population of those who wrra
seoking an education through her com
mon schools was not excelled by any
other town in the United States. AboGt
our night schools, 1 find that the at
tendance on them is even bettor than
during the day, and now is something
more than 200. The work Is very en
couraging, as all the pupils seem to he
anxtonjr arid" work bard that ttrej inny
derive air the benefit possible from this
opportunity." ?

Wednesday afternoon a terrific storm

that many lives werq not lost is mirac

internally by the falling walls. The
greatest damage was done the spin

Department Observer.
Tin* week ending Monday. May Int.
i ttd practically normal tomperature.
Mt hough the first of the week was
' ;oo|er than usual, th?? lant f?>\v days
were very warm, with maximum tem
peratures above SO degrees on tho 2Klh
There were rains on the 20th, 27th
ind 29th, with hail in a few places,
and destructive high winds in Union
ami Saluda counties. The preclplta-*
lion averaged somewhat over an Inch
for the State, though many places re
ported less than an Inch, but over the
flit Ire State enough moisture wbh hup
plied for the present need of ail crops
and for germinating recently planted
seeds. There wcro excessive rains In
the central and eastern counties that
delayed farmwork from one to three
days, but as a rule, the precipitation
was needed and proved very beneficial.
Plowing and planting were inter
rupted, but made fair progress with
the soil generally In fair condition.
Cotton planting Ih more than three
fourths finished, and early plantings
ure coming up to good stands; some
cotton baa been chopped in tho eas
tern counties. There has been some
replanting done in the central coun
ties where tho nights have been too
! cool. Corn planting Is now confined
to bottom lands, and generally to the
western counties. Early corn has good
stands but It Ih being severely dam
aged by cut and bud worms, necessl
j luting considerable replanting. The
: corn that was out down by the recent
frosts Is coming out again, and will
j not need to be replanted. Karly corn
hi being cultivated.
The wheat crop in being- damaged
, by the flv In several n&tlrWtfaterH
counties, but Ih otherwise^jromlBlngi
Tho ouIh crop was scarcely injured
the frosts, and with the exceptions in
the southeastern counties, is in a
promising condition, though heading
too low In places*
Truck wuk greatly benefitted by thd**
Hhowers of the week, and Ih promising
except peas, which were Injured by
the 'i'old weather of February and
again in Aprllv Some white potatoes
were completely destroyed by the
frost, while the larger portion of the
.crop la making a no\v growth. Large
shipments of strawberries are being
made. 7
Protected pencil and other fruit
trees werci-oufy lightly touched by the
frost of the 17th of April In the ex
treme northwest, while exposed trees
had all their fruit klllod; the damage
Ih Iorr in the central counties and very
small In the eastern ones. Apples are,
not promising. Pear trees are blight/
lng badly. Rice planting has not yey
begun In the Georgetown district, and
la about finished In the other district!.
Tobacco transplanting is well ad
vanced generally, and finished In a
fow sections. Melons and other crops
are Tifm-uluiwg: well. Pastures afford
excellent grazing. The season Ib from
one week to ten days later than usual.

/letter to the trustees Is as follows:
? New York, April 18, 1005. *|
"(ientloniou? I have reached tho con
elusion tli^vt the least rewarded of all
the professions is that of the teacher'
in our higher educational institutions.1
New York City generously, imd Teryj ?
wisely, provides retiring pensions toil
the teachers In her publl^chools, .and;
also for her policeman. ^H^y few, hi
deed, of our colleges are^STe to do so.j
The consequences are grevlous. Ablo
men hesitate to adopt teacblug as a;
career, and many old professors wbosor:"
pjtffccs should be occupied by youngeiS-~'~:
/nen cannot be retired. ' .
"I have, therefore, transferred to
you and your successors, as trusteetf.f v
$10,000,000 live per cont. first mort- ?T~
gage bonds of the United States Steel< -
Corporation, the revenue from which'
is to provide retiring pensions for th'e
teachers of universities, colleges nmt

ada and Newfoundland, under sujpw ...
cohdinbns its von may adopt froj^
time to time. Expert calculations show^'
that tba rovonuos will bo ample for*
the purpose. ?
"The fund applies 'to the three ^
classes of Institutions named, TrttJ&GIlt"

have, howevor, to recognize that State -
and colonial governments- which
established, or mainly snpport univer
sities, colleges, or schools, may prefer
that their relations shall?. ;thr eX?~~
cluslvely with the State. * cannot, ?
therefore, presume to include then>/^"?-^
"There Is another plass wbloh State* "'v/
do not aid, their constltfutlous Su some
cases even forbidding U,
Institutions. Many of these, ^ ?
lished long ago, were truly sectarian,
but to-day are freo to all. men ot
creeds or nouc^-such are not to be
considered sectarian now.
