THK CAMPAIGN. (Continued from First Pape ) lie bas been In olose loach with tbe affaire of tho State, and while be dove not wonder at tbe howl raised at in creased aproprlations, lt must be re membered that conditions have great ly ebangrd. Tbe Inequalities In tax assessment are glaring. Ile favors the carrying out of tho recommendations ciauo by the finance committee m or der to wipe our those inequalities. He warns the people agalust tbe in cipient tendency to corruption in elections, which has recently mani fested Itself. Jit ia to bo regretted that tho liquor question should have attained suoli prominence. Tuero are other matters wortnler of attention. He ls not tho otiamplon of whiskey, but he 1B deeply lutereHied in thc moral welfare of the State. He IE not a straddler aud he will not seek to befog the publlo miud on any ls sue. He docs not advocate tho d's pensary as run in the past. Whether the allegations of corruption anti graft in the dispensary are truo 01 not, the people of Soutn Carolina wi! not stand for even tho susplolou ol suoh things. Wm rc there is so mud ?moke there ruust be uomo fire, anti the people of the Sr-atc- will not stanti for the dispensai y as it has been con duoteo.

But that tfhoe of Goviruor ls a purely execu tive ellice aud should lo ba muli Governor he will enforce ihe mw a-> li stands ou tho staune books. The Hon JOHN J. Mt MAMA Nj of Columbia, ino next c.wididate for Governor to address the audience, prefaoed his remarks with the state ment that every man is his brother's keeper, and that it folio .vs, thc ref, re, that every citizen should bj alive to his olvlo duties. Thc scope of gov ernment ha* been largely widened lt la no longer cot.Hued tu mere pohoe regulatlou. We aro shocked as we glance aeout us at the evidences of corruption abiOa-d In the land, b ith within and wltnout our Stuto. When we compare the conditions of today with thu conditions which obtained in the past v>e musu be asiamed ano Burprlhed.

Ile stands today lor every educational reiorm which he has ever advocated. He urged thc importance of the draluane ot the coastal region and advocated the establishment of every county of a raodol farm. Time dees not permit him to discuss tho dispensary. Per sonally he is opt o jed to the use of liquor, but lie doesn't believe prohibi tion practicable. Ho favors the State dispensary, but not the dispen sary as it now exlais. He weuld first have lt cleansed and the rascals lu it placed behind prison bars. The next candidate for Governor to address the Democrats of Doi ohestcr was th Hon JOHN T. SLOAN, of Columbia.

Wornt Cruelty Russia linn Ever Ikea Quilty Of. Jewish Pa titer, Moth er, Daughter and Son Lashed Together by Torturers and Beaten to Death. The massacre of the Jews at hlaly I stck the first of last week must have boon something awful. The corres pondent of the New York Amerloan visited all parts of the town, taking evidence from bath Jewish and Chris tian residents. Here ls what he says: Tho massacre was essentially (to olah The polio*, military holUginB and the Blaok Hundred played subor dinate roles In ov<n* oaso. At a parlol wuen a mass of butohorleB ooourred the p dice and solo lera either aotlvoly assisted or encouraged the butohers. Thcro are many autentlcated oases of soldiers themsc.vcs perpetrating slaughter. In the B >yare district, where the worst matsaores occurred, the soldlore of the Cglltsky, Sixty third Regiment, aooompanled by two lill >orn, massacred sevon Jews at Gop eur's saw mill. Full details of this trpgedy were given mo by the survlv int! maajger. Woen the soldiers wore ccup ed with looting, their vlotlms sought refuge In a sm.tll wooden hou.- o on which at 0 o'clock on Friday even ing tuc soldiers tired suddenly Many Jaws of this dlstrlob, especial ly girls, bi came imane. The i llloors ordered the inmates to come out one by ono. Fivo of them wore shot dead as they emerged from : he house and nix were hacked to plect s by sabres. O.?o retrained in the m use, an old woman named K.iutsoh, >ioventy years of ago, and the soldiers burned the house and she perished In the (lames. In other oases the soldiers were merely onlookers. In Souvenir stn eba a prosperous Jow named PodlatobeiT kept a leather workshop. The pro prietor, his relatloes, named First nnrn, and six others were slaughter ,o I Inspeoted the dabbled with pools of blood and fragmeuts of llesh and hair are stloklng to the walls. Flrst mann was tho tirst killed. He was B mt by a gendarme namid Sohultze. then the Hooligans stripped vh^ corpsi ; carved pieces out of the breast and drove nails into the nose. Four frightened employes took shel ter lu an outhouse tho Hooligans broke lb opt n and be'it them to death. The I soldiers looked on, and tho Hooligans were unmolested. The young son of the proprietor was saved by the sol diers who cried, "Enough; don't kill tue boy 1 ' IIOUSK OF 1IOHK0K. Outside this house I saw a younth wearing tho blood-stained olothes of a jsaughterod mother. In many oases whole families woro exterminated. 1 visited a house In old Boyare, street occupied by Alnsteln, a resp ot td teaoher, who with his mother, daughter and two sons, were done to death by Hooligans undcrthe command <<f a disguised police i Ulcer while BOI (hers wero present. At Brat the sol diers tired Into the house and a polioo man ordered tho family to save them selves In tho lit.lds. There after tying father, son, mothor and daughter to gether, they were beaton to death, the police meantime tiring at ran dom. Two witnesses assure me that nails were hammered into the son's face bo fore his death. In the tl dd are pools if blood. Everywhere lum Ct nt children stand atgulrg beside these ghastly pools, talking about whom eaoh belongs to.

Fiendish tortur es and nutllatlon of thc o/rp s in vari ably followed the masacres with active or pasbive co-operation of authorities. In many cases the pohes tuoibly au th i rlzed the butnery by ordering the Hooligans to spare particular Individ ulla. I Interviewed two person who escaped hy bribing the soldier*). O.e girl, living cn Alexander street, after her father hud ocen btyonnetted, paid a soldier 20 roubles that she might be spared her-elf. Both Jev.s and Christians agrct.

DRAOOIfiD TO ll IS DOOM, A little girl whoso body I saw In ibo Jewish Hospital bad hor leg lawed off whllo she was yet alive.

'ho complicity of olllolals, soldlors nd polios has been established by un* introvertido ovldenca, and will un uestlonahly he confirmed In tho i fil ial report.

Tho appointment by tho Durna of an Inve-Uglying o rn mission oausnd a cessation nh ?hi ugh tor. The small proportion of. wound ed to killed shows the Impunity with whloh the murderers were allowed to finish their vlotims. Some of these were thrice killed by bullet)), kn v, ? and oudgels. Every ravaged house 1 visited shows that the raiders were left in possession for houri. A re markable feature of this msssaore ls the abseooo of outrages ou tho wo men. Though thirty were klUed, there ls no authenticated case of out rsge dlsooverahle. This ls ezplalnee tu cause the Hooligans and troops got their orders only to ''kill." The preolse number of deaths oan not bo learned There are eighty-six dead now In tho Jewish hospital and seven lu tho Christian hospital, but the oorpscs of those draged from the train and killed were burled without being counted. Tho material des tructlon ls enormous. In four im portant streets nearly every window, door and shutter ls broken, except in the Christians houses. M ny of the wealthier Jews cRoap-d, owing to the iron gates of their ocurt yards, but the soldiers flied through the win dows. In one bouse I saw thirty rillo bullet holes In tho windows, though there was nobody within savo an old lady and a woman servant. Tho hon cen Into whloh tho mob broke were lltterally destroyed. Even ihn wallpaper was toro down Too rioters stole everything portable; even children's toys were sraabhed. Tho heavy furniture and tho uusmasnable things were thrown out of the windows. The merchants' acoount books wore burned, and only the bare walls were left. In a bakery, whero the owner was killed, tho mob soaked the loaves of bread in a pool of blood, leaving be hind an Ironioal note. In Levin's mill, where Christians and Jews work together, the mobbltes cut tho oloth and yarn belonging to the Jews leav ing the Christian's yarn untouched. It is estimated that the loss will amount to two million roubles. The relatives of the vlotims have been de prived of everything and are afraid to rc-euter tho houses. They arc begging In the streets of the town. SENATOR TILLMAN X Will Not Cn'l un tho VrcalC nt Until j Ho Ano'oKlzoa. "I have bsen insulted there once and I do not propose to pl&oe myself in this position again if I c*n prevent lt." Theso aro tho words .used by Senator Tillman Thunda; w*s made acquainted with ho presi dent's rcoent utterances tending to indicate a desire for a reconciliation between himself aud the seplor sena tor from South Carolina. Tho unpleasaut ditlloul'.y a few years back between Senators Tillman and McLaurln, and the subsequent withdrawal of Tillman's levitation to thc reception at tho Wolta IIouso to meet Prince Henry, then paying a visit lo this country, are still fresh In the minds of the people who have fol lowed Senator Tillman's oavecr sine he entered the senate. There ls no notion on the part of Senator Tillman of bringing about a reconciliation with tie chief tx cu live, unless .uci'. reo mediation is ao companied by an unconditional apolo gy from *he president, and aa there 1? little urobabillty of this, the matter of a love fea >t, between them is still In the air.

Tue utterances of Senator [''liman that ho would not allow him elf to be again Insulted, are believed 0 represent his real feelings toward he president.

An Arch Murderer Walled Up la a Living Tomb \ND LEFT TO STARVE. A Yelling Mob Sits In the Market Place and Watcb the Budding Up of the Walls Around the Slay er of Thirty-six Young Women. A cablegram from Tangier Moroco, tells how, with such details of fiend Ish oruolty that they cannot bo fully realized, Mohammed Messfewl, tbs arob murderer of Marakesoh, has been walled up alive. It was this same Mesfewl who was to havo bren oruol?cd for bis tremen dous or 1 mes-lt ls known that he murdered not fower than thirty six young women-and who was saved from that fashion of exeoutlon hy tho outcry of tho resldout foregln cnTolals. It would have been better had thc ne name ( lllolals not interfered with Moroccan Justice, for Mosfewl .icforo he died undorwent lingering torturo comparod with which cruci fixion would have been merciful. TIIJC A KC1I-MURDER'S CRIMES. Mesfewl was a cobbler and publlo letter writer. Associated with him In his crimes was au old woman seventy yoars of age named Annah. Many girls of tho city disappeared In thc last days of April aud tho parents of ono young woman traoed her to tho cobbler's shop. Annah was put to the torture and confessed. She told that tho girls, who oame to dlotate letters, wero treated to drugged wine and then beheaded Twenty decapitated bodies were found lu a deep pit under the shop and nix teen more In the garden. Annah died under the torture and Mesfewl confessed. By au ancient Moorish custom ho was oondemned to 0?? orucllled. His oruoitlxlon was set for May 2, but this form of punishment was given up becauso of thc forelgu dam or, and lt was announoed that Mes few! would be beheaded, nis death by the still moro awful process of Im murement shows that tho Morccoan authorities "blludcd the eyes" of the foreigners. Mesfewl was kept lu tho Marakesoh jail until outside attention was dull ed, and then, on May 15, his torturo began. Daily ho was lcd into thc market place and whipped with switches of tho thorny accacla. The cobbler was stripped to the waist, and while two assistants held tho vlotim's arms out stretched, the olty executioner laid ou the spiked rods. Ten strokes wero given each day and eaoh stroke drew blood. The number of strokes wai kept down be oau3c Mesfewl was an old mau and the people of Marakesoh had no ldoa '?f letting him die too easily. MOST MERCIFUL CRUELTY I After'eaoh Hogging tho oobbler's baok was tougnenod and anolutod with vinegar and oil, so that ho might be tit for tho next day's ordeal. So tho dally whippings weat on, and when it was been that despite all ere M.sfewi was falling lulo exnaus tion lt waa decided to oarry out the supreme senteUOd. This wa? that he be wal ed up alive lu thc public market place. Tue currier who brings this news from Manikesoh to Tangier assorts that the order of execution before thc Sultan's own signature, and the fact that LI e semence was carried out lu tue great square or tue olly aud in full view ? f the populaos, shows iliac ?UC e Ul ;.als of Maraketc ; knew the awful programme would nut be inter fered with. Tue day of execution was set for M unlay, June ll, that being the Maraki sch market day. The news ot ? ho execution bau been spread and toe market place was thronged with ihousan s of MoreoJans, who squat bed in the bli. zo g sunlight and wait ed for the ghasuj show to commence. A deatn by walling up alive had not been Seen in M*raxe8Ch for many years, but there was tuose who told otheis mat vlotims had been known sometimes to llvo for a whole week, and so the good no*?i spreid, and thc people brougot their provisions arid che oaravanserles were crowded. Tl IK LIVING TOM ll 18 DUO. Just outsiae the jill where Mesfawl was confined stands the chief bazaar. lt has very thick walls and In ono of Ju ii.-, faolng tho market plaoc, two masons dug a hole tdx feet nigh, two :oct Ide and two feet deop. Meifowl ivas very thin and these dimensions ve the doomed man eiuite a free .paoo and some little air, for just as ,1s fellow townsmen would not let Um slip away by too much Hogging, !0 they did not Intend to smothor dm too quickly. About tnrcc feet up two staple? vitti chains were tlxcd in the back of .hu rt oct,s lu the wall aud two more tapies with chains were attaohod. L'nc purpose of these was to keep the ictlm ereot so that ho might not unidle down out of sight of thc rowd. Mci,fewl had not been told of his atc and when he was brought o;*t of he prison on Monday morning ho bought he was being led forth to his ally whipping. As soon as no saw tho cxpeotant housands, however, and heard their owl? of hate he knew that hi? day ad como. Then ho saw tho hole dug i tho wall, und, being an old man, 0 knew what that meant. Ho had ?ken nh: wnipptngs with fatalistic irdtudo, hoping he might die under ne thorns, but when he wa? dragged >ward the upright tomb ho ?truggl 1 with his jailer? and sorcamed for leroy. Soroamlng ho wai thrust into the ionss in the think wall, and, t cream ig, ho was ohalned up. Thero he aa left for a whllo, for there was enty of time. Tho mason? stoud tide and the orowd struggled ano uglit to get In the front rank, "liing In derision at the creaming d mau and polling bim with the ightful filth and olfal of tho market ace. r?RY Diet.HIERATIC EXECUTIONERS, Then the masons came forward and iry deliberately i?ui un mo nrso urscs of tho masonry. Tue stones id mortar rose to Mcsfowl's knees id then the chief Jailor oame for i ward and gave him bread and wa tor. Phd masons agaiu stood asido aud ?gain the crowds Jeered and no-slab bored the victim. 1 So lt went on, oourse by course, itono hy stone, water and bread, until only Mesfewl's screaming bead was . seen. The last stones were thrust In \ plaoe and Mesfewl's living tomb was . aomplefd. But tbeorowd was not y ot satisfied. . M un to wi was not dead, an . the throng j pressed forward and kept qulat to ! hear the mtfll:d screams for mercy : that oamo out of the wall. Every ; time Mcsfowi screamed the crowd yelled Night -.arno, braziers woro lit, coffee was mado and still Mesfewl screamed and the crowds yelled. Tuesday, j June 12 came In, and the market place was as crowded as ever, aud Mesfewl was still soreamlng tor , mercy. So lt went on all day and all night. Only Mesfewl's soreama were growing fainter. When Wednesday broko those close up to the wall reported ' that the dead-alive was only moaning Ifipally the moaning stopped and the 1 orowd oursed Mesfewl for dying 80 ' soon, and the delayed business of tho market was resumed. So HadJ Mohammed Mesfewl ex plated his crime. i The first njW8 of the terrible off)n- j ces of tho cobbler of Marakesoh oaoae | in a special cable to the New York i American April 29 It was reported i that Haf'J Mohammed Mesfowl was to be oruoified on Thursday, May 3, for an extraordinary series of murders. Twenty'six oorpses ot women had i been found under the cobbler's shop, i and ten in bis garden. i All of Meafowl's victims wore mu- | tllated with dagger outs in order to ! stimulato fanaticism, and it was prov ? ed they had boon murdered for money ? -most of lt in trilling sums. The Koran provides or uol fix ion aa . the punishment for terrible orimes. and though ?hat form of exeouttun has not been used in Morocoo for a generation, it was decided that the cobbler's orimes deserved that classi cal punishment. The next nows oamo in a cable of May 2, saying tho execution by cruci fixion would not take plaoe. Tho rest of the story and Its tragio de nouement ls told in the present dis patch.
