straits t > whim tho narri on had
been rr doced. The expectations in
some quarters that the surrender of
the fOrtn as would be f dlo vod at the
oapiti.l by ai ti-war demonstrations
has not been realized. So far as
there hus been any expression of
feeling, io las been for carrying on
the war with all the vigor poss.hie.
At Tokio Tuesday night the sui ree
der of P. rt Arthur was celebrated by
a lan ter u procession and a g?rerai
illumin?tlOD. Tba Jarane e diet will

nation tc Gen. Nogl for lils conduct

Among Russian efilcials there is
a feeling that any proposit ion of peac?
that may bc made with thc fact in
view that In order that pe^cc must be
lasting Japan niust recognize Russia's
right to free transit of its ships
through waters ot the far east. High
Japautse c til rials declare that the re is
no probability of a:lvauces coming
at present from tin ir government
locking toward peace negotiations.
In otliclal quarters In St Petersburg
it is said that no tender of good offices
from a tl led party wiuld be acepten
and .1 at any pr?posai for peace must
come from Japan din cb.

Mr. U. Ii. Hammet, chief constable,
aas submitted to Gov. Heyward his
?cpott for tb? last quarter of the year
1904. Mr. Hamuiet take3 ocoualon to
sall attention to tba ohaiterlrg of so
iial clubs In large cities, and ne de
llares some of these to be flagrantly
delating the law. In his letter sub
nltling ttie report, Mr. Hammet
:ys:
"From the figures given you will
ee that the maintenance of the con
tabulary bas reached a considerable
um, tut when you deduct tho value
f the se'z'ires made and the fines
olleeted, which went to the various
ounclesand towns, that expense bas
een reduced to tho very small sum
f $31 870 3-3, with numerous appeal
d cases yet. tu be heard from.
"Tiie illicit dealing in liquors In
very s ctlon of tho State has benn
ery coi slderab'y curtailed, and while
have nor, been able lo enforce the
iw to the letter, 1 feel that my ef
?rts have been of valu J In that dlrec
on, and reports received (lady go to
low that there is an improvement, in
ic situation almost everywhere. The
ispensary lr... can b: enforced, but it
ill require thc. aid of State c til ;ers BS
ell as municipal, in addition t> the
mstabulary force to accomplish it.
"There seems to be a lack of Inter

innot determine, on the partof'sorm

Dghtrates, but as a rule there ls lit

A SAD STORY
K Wife, Deserted and Ul, in an
Unknown Land.
[8 BEIKG CARED FOE
be Woman ls aa Immliraof fran Peland,
and Comiiiloaer WatioB Mao Taken
Ckai ge ai ii jr Case Although
She Was Not Brought
Here by Him.
Alone in a strange country; deserted
y the man who" had taken ^with her
fe solemn maritaljvows;1ill with the
read which a woman a?one can suf
:r; and unable tn couverse with those
round her. Such waa the pitiable
igbt of a woman who waa found
eak and starving in Columbia Fri
ly. Applying at tho bornes of the
loplc of Columbia, she was unablo to
? ke known her wants, until Anally
c sank exhausted upon the step of
e home of kind fhearted people who
. o In the-moat lespectablc part of
e city. The following particulars
tho sad case we ..take from the
ate:
Mr. E. J. Watson, theconmlsdoner
immigration, was communicated
th at once, and although bo was en
g>d in moving his office effects from
o State house to a temporary ellice
the ! 2-story building, he gave I na
idia te attention tc tbs wants cf th**
Tering woman. With Mr- Franki
ors for an interoreter, Mr. Watson
nt to the home where tho woman
s being cared'.for temporarily, and
be had suspected, tho unfortunate
ature proved to be a native of Po
d.
dr. Myers engaged her In conversa
ra the first time since her desertion
brr husband that she had heard
native tongue The woman told
tory which cannot bc disbelieved.
> is about 30 years of age and rather
icly In appearance, although she
seen, muoh anxiety and suffering
?ntly. She was unable to write,
n in her own language, and her
r.e, as v. ell as could bc guessed
n her pronunciation, is Stsphauki.
'his woman and ber husband, to
im she was married two years ago,
ie to this country from tho pmv
$ of Galatia in Poland three
itlis ago. Two months ago ttey
e brought to GreenviJUiiix.?nrk.in
.ro^""i^;K,*.".rr"."rtbe m.lls there.
? husband obtained work at a re
rierat lon of So a week, and the two
eared to be living happily In ex
tatlon of approaching events until
ce weeks ago wheu she was desert
and left pennlles ? among people
h whom she could not even con
se.
if ter a period of soul-harassing
.lety, tho, woman set ont on foot
C .lumbla, and walked all the way
: was.given assistance by the kind
,rt-:d farm people along the way
i one family gave her a pair of shoes
ich she needed badly for the
lither has been very severe.
iVhcn Mr. Watson wasuotifijd Fr!
?, he found the woman In a state
collapse and exhaustion. She was
weak that she could not keep
ake and kept dropping off to sleep
len through the interpreter Mr
it-son had s cur td the story of he
Terings he s.-t a' out to lind a place
tere she could be cared for until be
lld communicate with the govern
mt authorities. For the federal
vernment mikes prorlson for such
fortunato people as this and she
mid be cared for at the hospital at
hs Island as soon as he could make
e arrangements.
Tho "Door of ITope" ls orowded,
d there was no place for tho poor
unan there. Finally Mr. Wats >n
und a boarding place for the unfort
late creature at a house near the
don depot, and here she will stay
itil she can be sent to Ellis island

ie woman's gratitude was a moving j t
octacle, and Mr. Watson feels many 1
mos repaid for the three hours he
.mt lr. trv-ng to get her located tern
ir illly.
'Tho romantic part of tho story Is
ns: The arrival of the Pole, Frank
ibletsky, In Columbia a.few weeks
;o corresponds with the time that
ie woman was deserted by bel
asband, and lt Is m ire than probable
lat ho ls ttie vagabond who deserted
is wife. Tho woman's condition did
;t permit that she be allowed to con
ont the unfortunate Polo who is lying
i a hospital In this city with one leg
it off as the result of an accident on
ie Southern railway last Sunday when
e was caught walking across a long
.estie a few miles north cf Columbia.
It will be recalled that when Sohle
it came here he was unablo to speak
i English. He was engaged to work
?r a farmer in Richland county and
'as running away when ho was knock
d off the trestle. !b is barely probable
hat bo was trying to get ?back to
I reen ville when he was caught-pro
ided of course he is tho renegrnde
uibaud of tho sufi ring woman. In re
ard to this case Mr. Watson said last
dglit:
'.Tho State department of agricul
ure, commerce and immigration has
ieen placed at a decided disadvantage
iy reason of such a eas? as this. Toi?
vornan was not brought to South Car
dilla by reason of any aotion of the
lepartraent, and I regret that .lt is
inpossible for me, because of her lack
if knowledge of the.English.language
0 ascertain by whom she was brougat
a the State. When,the oall came to
no in the shape that lt did and I saw
Mc pi-or creature and talked with her]
through an Interpreter lt would have j
oeen ueccessary for me to have hud a
iieart of stone not to have attempted
I/o do something for her. Tue poor
ureature was In suoli-a condition that
1 did not believe she could have kept
ber eyes open another half hour.
"After trying several places where
I thought lt would be best for her. to
be, I finally took her to a boarding
house of an English woman, -where
bbe now ls and will remain until auch
t rue aa loan notify the United States
authorities of her caso and arrange
for her removal to tho hospitalis?t
Ellis Island. Thia ia a class of Immi
gration that this d?partiront has
studiously avoided, our efforts being
confined to the higher olass of people
who speak English and who become
after a short time good citizens, asslm
mating readily with our own people
and adopting their views, politically
and otherwise.
"At the same time when such oases
as th!s and that of the Polander, who
carno here recently, are brought t >
our attention it ls right that we
should, acting as South Carolinians,
Bee that these people do nut suffer.
At the same time others, who are act
ing outside of the State department
in the matter of immigration, while
meaning well, are only doing harm to
a great movement for tho upbuilding
of the 8tate, without Interfering witt)
iny existing conditions. The low
price of cotton that now prevails ha,
lerved to oheck the movement of our
)wn people back to the farms, and
?-onsequ ntly the demand for other
abor In the mills has been reduced.Q
"1 hope, therefore, tbat those wh"
?avo been brlngirg in these people of
. tvpe that the department does not
nd will not handle, will restrain
homselves from further ludependent
Sorta and will leave it to tho depart
aeut t:) meet their need Judiciously
'Ith due consideration of the welfare
f cur own working people and the
lanufaoturlug Interests as well. Suob
ases as this arc not only deplorable,
UYJ each one of them serves to retard
ne work of this department is de
g ned to do fur the good people. 1
?c?rely truit that this will be ?sen
