A minute before the explosion a Chinaman presumed to be the one who placed the bomb, and came out of the laundry and warned a score of children playing In the street away from the scene, telling them that there was soon to be a great explosion. A minute later the laun dry blew up. The Hip Sing Tong of which Sang Lee, the owner of the laundry, is a deadly enemy, was credited by him with the explosion, The laundry was wrecked, but no one was injured. The Astounding RevcUUIons Mnde by Senator Beveridge About the Stealing of the Tobacco Trust. No revelation of the extra session has been more startling than that which Senator Beveridge made about the almost unbelievable graft of the Tobacco trust for eight years, says the Washington Times. That was a case of legislative partnership with a trust in a project to fleece the peo ple. Somebody must have been "fixed," "Greased." "oiled. ,, It is in conceivable that congress will plead guilty to such sublime innocence and Incompetence as would bo testified by the explanation that nobody in congress saw what was being given to the Tobacco trust. Here is wbat happened; When the Spanish war taxes were imposed, the Internal revenue duty on tobacco went up. The law was so arranged that tobacco dealers were permitted to sell underweight packages, de ducting enough from the weight to compensate them for the increase In the internal revenue tax. Thus a “tobacco pound' was considerably less than a 16-ounce pound; but It was legal because of this legisla tion. The tax was thus carried down to the consumer, and nobody partic ularly felt it. ^ But when the war and the need of war taxes passed, what happened? The additional tobacco tax was re pealed, but the trust's privilege of selling underweight packages was not stopped. The trust was left col lecting the war tax from the people, but pocketing It instead of turning it Into the Federal treasury. By this process, in eight years, the trust has got away with 1184,000, 000 of the people's money. That money ought either to have been left In the pockets of the tobacco users or else to have gone to the Federal treasury. In fact, it went to the coffers of the Tobacco trust. It is manifest that to repeal the war tax. but to forget to repeal the shortwelght privilege must have been difficult and complicated. Some skilled person or persons must have steered that thing through congress with consummate cleverness. Who did It? W'as he an “Inside worker or an "outside man?" If he was an insider, his identity ought to be known, so that he can be duly de feated next election by a betrayed constituency. If he be merely smart lobbyist, be should at least be questioned about tl^e methods by which ho Induced committees and leaders and organizations to permit such a tremendous steal. Senator Beveridge has gftne about this business In a fashion which indi cates purpose to stick by it till the whole Inwardness of this strange transaction is bared. The present |2li,000,000-a-year largess of the To bacco trust should first be taken away; then the process by which con gress was either befooled THE PACIFIC OCEAN ed shouts ue investigated. WOMAN SHOT HERSELF. Attempted to Commit Suicide, But Failed to Do So. The Newberry Observer says Mag- K ieWaldrop, a young colored woman, attempted to commit suicide Mon day morning about six o'clock, at th« home of Mattie Miller, wife of Frank Miller, colored. She got hold of a pistol and declared she was go- Wig to kill herself. The other wo man tried to take the pistol from her, and In the struggle It went oft, the ball striking Maggie in the thigh, Imbedding ItaeTf in or near the bone, where it remains. No reason is as signed for the attempt, except that her mind has been a little daft for a day of two. PITCHED BATTLE AT CHURCH. Abe Moseley Stab* John Allen at White Pond.

The Condor, With a Crew of One Hundred and Forty Men, Sailed From Esquimau and Ha* Never Been Heard From Since Sailing Until Foand a Short Time Ago. The wreck of the British sloop of war Condor, whose fate and that of the 140 officers and men forming her company have been one of the mysteries of the sea since Decern ber 3, 1901, has been located, sub merged in comparatively shallow wa ter, abbut one and a half miles off shore at Long Beach, mid-way be tween the southern entrance to Berk eley Sound aad the settlement of Calyoquot, on the west coast of Van couver Island. The wreckage is about fourteen miles distant from the village of Clayoquot and seeming ly rests upon an uncharted reef, of which there are many in the vicini ty of Long Beach and Wreck Bay, which adjoins it. The news of the discovery of the long missing sloop of war was brought from the coast by Bonney- castle Dale, an English naturalist and Journalist, who has communi- cated his discovery to the British Admiralty. He regards the evidence of identity as incontrovertible, and it is expected that immediate Inves tigations will be made by the admi- rality upon his report. The principal obstacle in the way of salvage oper ations Is believed to be the prevail ing heavy swell-met within this lo cality in the calmest weather. A surface wave beyond the line of the barrier reef that fronts the bay marks the spot where the vessel is supposed to lie. A few weeks ago a spar stamped with the admirality mark, with nitches patched with cop per In naval style, after being vis ible four days, floating attached to the wreck beneath, drifted ashore. Upon the same beach some time ago there drifted a Jib boom spar stamp ed "Condor," a life buoy similarly marked and several signal rocket cases marked with the name of the Ill-starred vessel, mute testimony of the whereabouts of the long missing sloop. About a mile and a half out from Long Beach the surface ripples over the ship that is supposed to be the sepulchre of one hundred and forty officers and men of His Majesty's navy. At high tide it is hardly visi ble but at extreme low tide the sea bolls about the obstruction. Half a dozen residents of the west coast who have gone out to the spot in smooth water and at low tide declar ed that the hulk of the submerge' ship Is plainly visible. On the morning of l>.cember 3 1901, the sloop of war Condor, in company wUK ^ M s Warship, left Esquimau, the former never to re turn. The Condor was bound for Honolulu and Tahiti he«vily laden with coal for a long cruise and carry ing a large consignment of mails for the British inhabitants in the isolat ed South Sea Island. In the straits a strong southeast gale prevailed and the war ships parted company, the Warspite con tinuing on her way south and the Condor starting to carry out gun practice at the entrance to the straits prior to making for Honolulu Whether this gun practice was car ried out has never been ascertained Outside the straits that faleful night a terrified storm was raging, which compelled every vessel in the region to tight for life, and In this storm the Condor was seen for a brief moment, laboring heavily and flying signals of distress, by Captain Janies Boyd, now of the Bank line steamer Aymeric, and then in command of the south hound lumber ship Spring- hank. Naturally the name of the strug gling waship was not made out, but there was no doubt of her identity in tho minds of Captain Boyd and his officers. They did not go to the supposedly disabled gun boat's assistance. Indeed, they gave her scant thought or attention at the time, as they were having all they could do to save their own ship and their lives. This was the last seen of the Condor or any of her com pany. The Condor never reached Honolulu and gradually her name passed Into history as identified with one more of the tragic mysteries of the sea. Toward the end of that December stern sqiff and lifebuoy with the name "H. M. Condor ' on were picked up In the neighborhood of Wreck Bay. Theories are numerous as to the fate of the vessel and the 140 lives she carried. The same night was responsible 'or anotner mystery of the North Pacific. The collier Mattewan left Nanaimo for San Francisco op, De- camb^lF 2 and never reached her port. Some believe sbe foundered. Sqm* wy gh ft crashed Info the Con dor and both vessels were sunk. The Condor was M similar type to the Algerine apd the Shearwater, how at EsqulnaalU-BtoUon. -She had a very low free board, and the the ory has been advanced that she ship ped a tremendous sea, and before It had time to run through, the scup pers were struck by another, which caused her to founder. Another fa vored theory is that her coal cargo shifted Ip the gale, and that she turned turtel. An Inveetlgatlon of the wreck beneath the waves off Long Beach may throw light on the mys terious happening and will doubtless disclose the bodies or many of tb# bluejackets penned beneat$ decks ▼hen the ships went to-their doom. ■ 'V. If, on May 1st of each year, the standard of time throughout the United States was advanced two hours, so that what is now five o'clock become seven o'clock, etc., and changed back to our present standard on October 1st, it would add gretaly to the health, comfort and pleasure of all, through the sfim mer, without necessitating any change as to daily habits, or create any more confusion than if a West- era men- went to some point East, having a time one or two hours fast er than that to which he was ac customed, but would give two hours additional light for recreation and health-giving, and the use of two of the coolest and best hours of the day for labor. Americarts, in this manner, would obtain what those in England greately enjoy today, namely, two additional hours of light. This would leave the same number of hours for business aud sleep as now, and would give two better hours for the day's work, and two addit ional hours of daylight to the even ing hours, which today are too short to be of much benefit to those liv ing any considerable distance from their place of business, and, as the hours after business are the only portion of the week-day devoted to pleasure and exercise, the lengthen ing of same would be appreciated by all. Nothing is more conducive to health than outdoor exercise, such as ball, tennis, gotf, boating, bath ing, gardening, etc:, so why not read just the hours devoted to business, sleep, and pleasure to the benefit of all? Thousands of families would, un der these circumstances, move into the country or suburbs, who are now held back by the fact that the men at the present time could not reach their homes until too late to get much benefit from a move of this kind. As elderly persons and children are given to early rising, the break fast hour will become more regu lar, and many annoyances of today will be avoided, and, during the heated term, it should prove of special benefit to the school child ren As a rule, nearly every proposed rule. law. or custom works a positive injury or hardship to many v.ho club together and bring ibout much opposition; it de'.^s and discourages those int«vff.gted in its passage, but, in this' case, as no property is de stroyed or depreciated, no one can be interested in apposing ft, and It is one of the few changes that could be made to benefit all citizens of each and every state in exactly the same proportion, and not call for the expenditure of money by the gov ernment, State or people. Railroads would not be compelled to change their time-tables, as all trains would leave in future at the same hour as today. Local travel would be great ly increased, additional money put In circulation by the purchase of such things as are used for pleasure and recreation, and additional value would be given to what already ex Ists in the way of parks, play grounds, gardens, resorts, boating and bathing facilities, tennis courts, automobiles, carriages bicycles, etc. etc. In England, though they enjoy in summer time the benefits to be de rived from a movement of this kind, they are endeavoring io establish a custom to more closely follow the movements of the sun. which would enable them to gain millions of dol lars paid out each year for artificial light. This change is being opposed, however, by every gas and electric light company, and their stockhold ers in every village and hamlet throughout the kingdom, so that, the proposed movement in America should not be confused with that being agitated in England, and should be accomplished at a compar atively early date, from the very fact that is injures none and would be of great benefit to millions. To be beneficial and not confusing, is-firtrecessary that the law or cus tom become universal throughout the United States. It has no political significance, so all should lend their aid to the movement. Talk it up. See that your friends thoroughly un derstand It. Remember that mil lions In England, for centuries, hav e been accustomed to exactly these same hours and its benefits. If you do not need these additional hours for recreation on yourself, aid in obtaining it for those who do.

Herbert's farm. In Mendenhall township. The mule was being driv en along the road by Wilson Her bert's son, John Henry, and Hiram Nelson. There came a blinding flash and a terrific report, and the mule fell dead. Herbert was rendered un conscious for a good while. Nelson was thrown about ten feet out of the buggy. The mule was a valuable one. In the same section of the county, only a mile away, a cow be- onging to Jake Kinard. colored, was struck by lightning and killed In Mr. Boulware's pasture. Undue Advantage Over the Pro ducer aud the Consumer. Denouncing the pending tariff bill as giving the manufacturer an undue advantage over the American farmer and working man. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, unequivocally ex pressed his faith in a free trade poli cy in an extended ateech while the cotton schedule was under consider ation in the Senate on Tuesday. The following write-up of the speech was furnished The News and Courier by its Washington correspondent: "The whole tendency of this leg islation has been to cheapen the raw material and raise the price of the finished article,” said Mr. Smith, thereby giving to the protected manufacturer a double advantage, lessening the price of what he has to buy and raising the price of what he has to sell. "I am not pleading for, nor shall I vote for, protection for the raw material. I believe a thing is worth what it will bring in the open mark-! ets of the world. What I shall vote against is the iniquitous and inde fensible system of legislating a profit by artificial methods. I believe that American skill and the wonderful mechanical devices operated by steam, water and electricity, our nearness to the source of supply for the raw material makes it possible for u* to compete with the nations of the world." Senator Smith said it was abso lutely idle to talk about the protec tive tariff being a benefit to the cot ton and grain growers of America. In support of his position, Mr. Smith quoted, though not by name, a “lead ing manufacturer of the South,” who, he said, had told him that he be lieved it was right and Just that the protective feature of the tariff on Cotton goods should be entirely wip ed out. The protection of the Gov ernment, asserted Mr. Smith, giving such a margin of profit, has invited and brought into the cotton manufac turing business "a lot of financial buccaneers and plungers, who, by the marvelous profits that could be fig ured. possibly on paper, put on foot impossible schemes, which have re sulted djadstej-onijr f 0 th e milling industry of the country." He said that what is true of the cotton in dustry is largely true of every other 'manufacturing Industry. "The monstrous injustice of this bill is made in two particulars," con tinued Mr. Smith. "This bill de clares that it is for the purpose of encouraging American industries and guaranteeing to them a reason able profit, while on the other hand, in sharp contrast with it in the bill, is incorporated a tax on the very fertilizing element upon which the agricultural laborer is dependent for the enrichment of his soil. This ammonia, or this nitrogenous ele ment that is so costly and so essential in the production of this crop, must be taxed because of a few coke and gas companies, who, already protect ed aud making their millions, can not be denied the privilege of mak ing other millions.out of that which the Government ought to see that the farmer gets at the lowest pov sible price." During the course of his speech Mr. Smith read some interesting figures to bear out his contention that the protective tariff worked a hardship upon the people pf the South, who had to pay most severely for the prosperity enjoyed by the manufacturers. The eleven cotton growing States last year produced $716,352,265 worth of raw cotton, he said, and $90,000.fiO-O w-orth of cotton seed. This cotton they had to put upon the market at a price fixed by Liverpool. That price was fixed in Liverpool upon the basis of the cost of labor In Europe and the price at which they sold the finished product. "Therefore the whole American cotton crop is sold upon the basis of free trade." said Senator Smith "so that, in the cotton growing States, according to the census fig ures of 1900, there are engaged in agricultural pursuits 4,000,000 peo ple, and their average earnings for the year are $133. "Taking the outcome duties on articles imported, such as are used on the farms, there are consumed about $66,357,000 worth. Taking the consumption of domestic man ufactured goods, the proportionate part of the South is $2,885,000,000. The indirect tax paid on this con sumption, due to protection, is $855,000,000. Now this for the en tire South, regardless of the woek engaged in. Dividing this by the population of the South, the taxation capita due to these duties paid on domestic and foreign articles is $6.1 in round numbers.

The Erdman Act provides that should the two arbitrators be unable to agree upon the third member of the com mission, he will be named by Knapp and Ntdll. The decision of the arbi trators is made binding upon both, parties by law. As expected the disagreement came over the retention of negroes. The firemen first demanded the dis missal of all negroes. This was re fused flatly by the railroad. After considerable labor on the part of Messrs. Neill and Knapp, the fire men submitted another proposition. They agreed that those negroes now- employed or who were employed pri or to April 10, should be retained on their present footing. Recent promotions of negroes had been can celled before the men returned to work. They demanded that all white fire men should have seniority over all | negroes. That is, if a white fireman was employed today, he would rank ahead of all negroes no matter how long they were in the service, when it came to promotion to better runs. In addition, they asked that at no time should the total number of ne groes employed exceed 25 per cent of the white firemen on the compa ny's paV-roll. If at any time the number of negro employees dropped below 25 per cent no more were to be employed. It is said that tho Georgia Railroad might have con sented to this were it not for the op position of the terminal company. ^When it was seen that agreement was Impossible the Federal officials gave up the fight and ordered that the dispute go to arbitration. When the men returned to work Saturday afternoon the road agreed that the status of April 1 should be restored. It was upon that date that the trouble began. The company had then promoted several negroes to good runs and removed white fire men to make room for them. Al ready the company has restored tne white firemen to the runs they held or April 10. AH other disputed points and demands were conceded except the senior!tv of white men and tht limitation as to the number of negioo* employed. The white firemen claim that ne gro firemen are not held to a strict enforcement of the rules as are the the whites, and they intimate that the policy of the road seemed to be to discharge whites at every oppor tunity and replace them with blacks, who get less wages General Man ager Scolt denies this and declares his willingness to agree to a strict enforcement of all rules against the negroes.
