The English government Wednesday
published its promised statement
of its dealings with the revolting officers
of the Third cavalry brigade
and the House of Commons held another
heated and disorderly session.

and tlio various statements drawn
from cabinet ministers, vital facts of
the affair were made clear. They reveal
a comedy, or tragedy, of errors
perpetrated by Col. Seely, secretary
for war, and Sir Arthur Paget, commanding
the troops in Ireland.
Col. Seely took all the blame on
himself. He frankly declared be bad
made a great mistake. His written
assurances to (Jen. Hubert Hough
that to use all the forces of the crown
in Ireland or elsewhere to maintain
order and the support the civil powers
in the ordinary exercise of their
duty but has no intention whatever
to taking advantage of this right to
crush political opposition to the policy
or the principles if tho homo rule
bill" was given without the knowledge
of the cabinet and contrary to
its policy.
The war secretary tendered his
resignation to Mr. Asquith but tho
premier refused to accept it. The
governments has withdrawn Col.
Seely's guarantees. Thus the situation
with respect to Gen. Hough and
his 5 9 comrades who sent in their
papers is still in a state of suspence.
The most important revelations of
the day were that the government
did plan an important military and
naval demonstration on Ulster. Win,

tho admiralty, confirmed report.* that
he had ordered the third battleship
Bquadron and a torpedo flotilla to
Irish waters but explained that when
the military arrangements had not
been carried oit he countermanded
the orders by wireless?an explanation
which tho Unionists received
with Jeers.
The blunder Gen. Paget made appears
to have been in giving a practical
ultimatum to officers of the cavalry
brigade, to say whether they
would take active service in Ulster.
The cabinet Monday framed a general
statement of the officers' position
and duty under the law, and Col.
Seoly freely admitted that his error
was in yielding to Gen. Cough's demand
for a written assurance that
the army would not be used to sup
prcBB the covenanters.
Premier Asqulth's statements that
the otiicers should return to duty unconditionally,
it is declared, -were
made in good faith. The prime minister
made plain to the House of
Commons the government's position
regarding the army, declaring he
would not assent to the claim of any
body of men in the service of the
crown to demand assurances of what
they would be required to do in circumstances
which had not arisen.
Sir Edward Grey spoke even more
strongly. He said: "The government
is prepared to use force to whatever
extent is required to make the
will of the country prevail. That
is a contingency which can not arise
for a long time, and we will labor to
avoid it."
Much of the debate in the House
of Commons consisted of fiery denunciations
of the military aristocracy.
Government members were placated
by revelations, but there remains
among Radicals and Laborites a
strong and outspoken dissatisfaction
with the whole affair. Many think
the matter would have been allowed
to rest except for the almost unanimous
attacks by the Liberal press
over wliat they speak of as Gen.
Gough's victory.
All talk of a compromise on the
home rule bill for the time is suspended.
Conservatives hold that recent
events have shown that no compromise
is possible, except on (he unconditional
exclusion of Ulster. The
"Liberals say that would not bo compromise,
but surrender. Col. Seely's
transfer to another cabinet post is
predicted and the announcement and
acceptance of tho resignations of
Oen. Paget and Cen. Cough would be
no surprise.

Girl's Alleged Traducer Victim of
Seven Angry Relatives.
Horsewhipped, covered with tar,
and otherwise roughly handled by
seven assailants, one of them a woman,
who charged him with making
derogatory remarks about a thlrteenear-old
girl, Arthur Bryan, seventeen
years old, of St. Helena, Md., had an
exciting experience Sunday night. According
to young Bryan, he was passing
a church on his wav to a nartv.
when he was met by John Hughes,
who told him Mrs. Hoare wished to
see him behind the church.
He went there and was immediately
seized by six of the persons named,
Hughes joining the party at the same
time. While two of the Hoare boys
held him, shaking him roughly, the
father and mother, Bryan says, charged
him with circulating injurious reports
concerning their daughter, Emma.
Bryan was declaring his innocence
of this, when his hat was knocked
from his head, and, firmly grasped
by his captors, ho was dragged to
whore a bucket of steaming tar was
standing, Mrs. Hoare beating him
with the horsewhip all the while.
Hot tar was daubed all over his clothing,
and then on his face and hair,
ho says, until the pain caused him to
lose consciousness.

SHOWS TWO THINGS
SENATE VOTE ON THE SUFFRAGE
A >1E N DM K X T 1N TE HESTIN (i.
MAY LEAD TD SURPRISE
Only Hope I/Oft for Suffragists is to
Agitato Repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment, Tlius Securing Solid
Southern and Western Support in
Their Cause.
East. Thursday's vote in the Senate
on the Ashurst resolution to submit a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
States from discriminating on the
ground of sex in their suffrage restrictions,
together with the vote on
the amendments submitted to the resolution
by the Mississippi senators,
leaving to the States the choice of restrictions
in all respects except sex,
made two points plain.
The first is that Senator Borah of
Iowa was right in warning the woman
suffrage advocates that they
could not hope to accomplish their
purpose through the Federal constitution
while tho Fifteenth amendment
remained in that instrument,
complicating the question of sex with
that of "race, color or previous condition
of servitude." Many believe,
with Mr. Borah, who is the giant of
tho Republican side, that racial
amendments in tho constitution absolutely
preclude the adoption of woman
suffrage by Federal internosi
Hon.
Others, however, see hope for the
short-cut attainment of woman suffrage
in the possibilities of the second
point, which was made clear by
the vote of last Thursday. That is
the demonstration that the Southern
nnd sonio of the Western senators
are ready to vote for a woman suffrage
amendment if it ho coupled
with repeal of tho racial suffrage
provisions of the constitution. Some
observers in Washington, including
anti-woman suffragists as well as
"pros", look for a juncture of these
two currents of political thought
which will have an effect in increased
force like that of tho juncture of
tho Mississippi with the Missouri.
Thursday the suffrage senators
mustered thirty-five votes for their
proposition. About a score of senators
who voted against it voted for
the amendments coupling it with the
repeal of the racial suffrage provisions
of the constitution. If these two
forces had been united there would
have been a total of over fifty votes,
possibly fifty-four votes, for woman
suffrage.
To carry the resolution for submission
of nn amendment to the
states "would have required twothirds,
or sixty-four votes. Without
such a union of forces it would be
even harder to get a suffrage amendment
ratified by the states than It
would bo to get it submitted by congress,
because the ratification of the
constitutional amendments requires
the affirmative votes of three-fourths
of the states, casting their ballots as
units.
There are Southern senators who
admit privately, though not themselves
advocates of woman suffrage
as a separate issue, that they regard
the adoption of a constitutional
amendment ,by the combination just
described as among the reasonable
possibilities of the present decade.
They believe that the suffragists will
profit by the object lesson given by
all of the Southern and some of the
Western senators in Thursday's vote
and undertake to furnish the South
and Pacific West the necessary "quid
pro quo".
It is amusing to supporters of the
Wilson administration to hear the
outcries that proceed successively
from thfc two Republican rings of the
political circles because of the alleged
purloining of "tricks" by the
Democrats in the big central ring.
When President Wilson made his deliverance
early in the session in favor
of presidential primary elections, the
Hull Moosers emitted a loud yell to
the effect that this was avowedly and
originally "Progressive Republican"
doctrine, and that the Democratic
president was committing political
larceny in appropriating it without
any acknowledgment.
The administration has never taken
any notice of this complaint, the
existence of any foundation for it being
entirely a matter of opinion. It
is, no doubt, the view of the majority
of the Democrats in congress, perhaps,
that it would bo best to leave1'
to the Hull Moose the business of advocating
such a primary by constitutional
amendment and make the
Democratic movement one towards
accomplishing the same result by the
Independent action of the states.
Now the regular Republicans are

with tho charge that the administration
policy of establishing nn interstate
trade commission, provided for
in tho Covington bill, recently introduced,
with tho president's backing
is an infringement upon tho regular
Republican patent. Tho Republicans
point out that their platform of 1912
contained a specflc endorsement of
the interstate trade commission idea,
whereas neither tho Democratic nor
the Moose platform had anything on
WILSON IS CONFIDENT

+.
Impresses Callers That He is Hnxious
for Ilis Party to Take OH' Exemption.
President Wilson declared Monday
that in seeking the repeal of the
Panama tolls exemption he not only
was seeking that the nation do what
it was hound in honor to do, but was
going the way of tho majority in the
Democratic party. He pointed out
that when the Panama canal act was
passed a majority of tho Democrats
then in tho House of Representatives
voted against the tolls exemption,
and that only by a coalition of a
minority of Democrats with a number
of Republicans did the measure
become law.
This announcement was taken in
administration circles as the president's
answer to the argument at the
Baltimore platform made the tolls
exemption Democratic doctrine. The
president is understood to believe
that the majority opinion of the Democrats
in the House, as last expressed,
was a result of more deliberate
consideration of tho question than

The president made no secret to
callers of liis anxiety for the repeal
measure to come to a vote. Asked
if lie thought influences were at work
to prolong debate unnecessarily, Mr.
Wilson said lie did not know, but it
certainly appeared to him as if there
had been lilibusterng; that minorities
always flilibustered and disclosed
themselves in filibusters.
The president is confident that he
will have the majority of his party
behind him in the House when the
repeal conies to a vote, lie has been
assured that at least 200 Democrats
and many Republicans will support
him. Senator James of Kentucky
has informed the president the vote
in the Senate would bo at least 5 8
to 2 4 in favor of the repeal.

CAUSES OF FIRES.

Sparks on Roof, Defective Flues and
Carelessness Responsible.
In the report of the Insurance companies
made to the State department
of Insurance for fire losses during
the month of February, appears also
a very interesting table showing the
causes of 108 fires which had been reported
to it. The cause of these fires
property, 6; Carelessness, 21; Coals
from grate or fireplace, 8; Defective
flues, 16; Defective electric wiring,
4; Explosion of gas stoves, 2; Explosion
in moving picture machine, 1;
Explosion of lamp, 1; Foreign substance
in machinery, 2; Lightning,
1; Matches in cotton, 1; Rats and
matches, 4; Sparks from locomotive,
1; Sparks on roof, 27; Spontaneous
combustion, 1; Stoves, 2; Suspicious
or incendiary, 3.
The total losses paid by insurance
companies in the State during February
covered 158 fires, and amounted
to $85,352.65. Out of this, the
amounts paid in the towns in this
part of the State was as follows;
Bowman, $27; Cope, $1,2 60; Orangeburg,
$76.50; Sally, $9,450. This
does not mean that there were not

As the Republicans are going to

Monday that the whole affair was

This misunderstanding, it was inferred,
although they did not directly

of the government's plan by the commanding
general, Sir Arthur Paget,
whereby he informed the officers in
Ireland that they were to move on

Gen. Paget and throe senior officers
from the Currngh camp?Gen.
Gougli, Col. McKwan and Col. Parker?were
summoned to London for
a conference. According to official
statements the misunderstanding has
boon cleared away and these officers
returned Monday night to Ireland.
Prior to -their departure they said
they were entirely satisfied. The
terms or which the officers remain at
their posts were not disclosed, but the
general belief is that they were assured
they would not be compelled to
fight against the Ulster men. This
is considered a distinct surrender by
tho government.
The Unionists firmly believe that
the government has participated in
a fiasco. They think that the most
enterprising spirits of tho cabinet,
David Lloyd George and Winston
Spencer Churchill, were tho chief
movers in the plan and that the government
proposed a wholesale movement
of troops into Ulster to overcome
the covenanters by the display
of superior force and tho arrest of
their leaders and that the plan was
frustrated only by tho opposition of
the officers.
Some of the Unionist members assert
that Andrew Bonrr Law recently
received a letter quoting one of the
highest officers in Ireland as saying:
"Py Saturday there will be hundreds
of dead in Ulster." The Unionists
also accuse the government of making
a scapegoat of Gen. Paget for their
own "colossal blunder".
The future of the home rule hill
is in doubt. <No declarations of "full
steam ahead" nor "meeting force
with force" were heard Monday from
the Liberals in the debate in the
House of Commons. None of the fire
and firmness which permeated the
speeches of ministers only last week
was in evidence. The army has
checkmated the government, accord-!
ing to the Unionists' view, and the
covenanters of Ulster have won their
fight.
No one will be surprised if the government
soon relinquishes armed
force, as its action had the immediate
result of striking a shower of
sparks of class jealousies.
Liberal newspapers of high standing
and influence, like. The Daily
Chronicle and The Daily News, print
bitter denunciations of the officers as
part of the Tory aristocracy which insists
upon the prerogative of ruling
ino couniry against the will of the
people and demand the democratization
of the army and that the system
of officering it from the sons of the
rich be superseded by a system
whereby officers may be promoted
from the ranks.

WITH THE CONS I'M 10 ItS.
The I'nited States Post Ofllco Department
is Perfecting Plan to lteduce
the Cost of Living.
Preliminary stops have been taken
by the post olliee department to perfect
its plan for reducing the cost of
living by having parcel post carry
farm products direct to the door of
consumers. Ten cities were selected
to begin the work of establishing direct
connection between producer and
consumer. Postmaster General Burleson
already having issued an order
permitting the use of crates and boxes
for butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables
and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders Saturday went to the postmasters
at Boston, Atlanta, St. I,ouis,
San Francisco. Ralt5r"ore, Detroit, Lacross,
Wis., Lynn, Mnss., Rock Island,
111., and Washington, directing
them "to receive the names of persons
who are willing to supply farm
produce in retail quantities by parcel
post." Printed lists of these names
will be distributed among town and
city patrons.
"By the use of the lists," said First.
Assistant, Postmaster General Roper,
"the city consumer can get in touch
with a farmer, who will fill his weekly
order for 'arm produce. The consumer
will receive the product fresh
from the country and the farmer will
be relieved of carrying his produce
to market, as the rural carrier will
make daily collections at the farmer's
own door of the retail shipments
to city consumers.
"The point has been raised that
difficulty will be experienced in the
return of hampers and other containers.
The farmer may use inexpensive
hampers whose value would
not warrant their return nr ho mo?
use the higher grade hampers for
which he may include an additional t
charge to be credited to the consumer
on return of the hamper by parcel
post.
"The postmaster general is convinced
that this plan is the one thing
necessary to enable the people of thia
country to enjoy the potential benefits
of the parcel post. The postmaster
general's plan is designated
to provide for the most economical
distribution of those products which
are consigned in the form and condition
in which they are produced."
