C., May 13.—There is Btill much talk about the two decisions of the United States court alTcctin<r the two most important laws in the state. Although nearly every one concedes that the knocking out of the feature of the dispensary law, preventing liquor from being brought into the state, is practically a death blow to the law. Governor Kvans is declaring that the profits will not be affected. This is in the face of the claim that better liquors can be delivered here from points out side the state at lower rates than the dispensary rates. The elTect of the registration decision Is of more vital concern in view of the negro majority in the state and yester day the state democratic executive com mittee, controlled by the dominant ele ment, was called by the state chair man, Senator Irby, to meet here on Wednesday night next. It is evidently for the purpose of arranging to face the new condition of affairs. What. Governor Kvans Says. 0Lnst evening, Governor Kvans gave to the representatives of the Southern Associated Press the following inter view, designed to express his belief as to the future of the dispensary law and the effect of the decision upon it. The governor said: The practical operations of the dispensary are not interfered with lu the slightest. The great nuinher of patrons of the dispensary aro people who tire In sympitliy with the law. Those who have* been forced to patronb.e it belong to the class who ernnot afford to import for their own use. The source of n emie is from the-ale of the cheap- r gniib •< -f w ti -hy In (ptantitl - of otjo-!i:’lf plat. Tin --c people cannot afford to Import. The only competition that could come would bo from blind, tigers and old t.b My dealers, who under the also of Inutorilng for their own use. will endeavor to supply the - :!. Thi - will bo cheek-mated by a more str'-nuous ef fort than keretofor • to p-osecitlc them under section .’•J, of the i •pen- try law. This is the section with h provide - : r injun-ti n, and the entiro vigilance of the Ispcn-ary force will be centered up on the !Te ’ tfat'deker. Ono or two convictions will . > a put an < n ! to tb- tradle and this will be done without rteotir.-o to juries. Metropolitan I’nSlee Idesk If we find that th‘-poliei of the towns do not co-operato with us in i-i- s-in ; the lllirit sales of whiskey. 1 will imim da.lely p/nee every town in the state umjpr the operation of the metropolitan police law. This will be of Amter advantage to the enforcement of the la^than the employment of the constables, and will save to the state ?-l.a 0 :i month which we are now cxp< ndit.g for the constables. The row ef the illicit tradicker will be a liiird n:td Stumpy une. end the resources for making it so are abundant. 1 shall not hesitate to use them. So instead of being a d* nth blow to the dispensary, if this decision is sustained by the supreme court of the United Strtes—and I ran hardly see how it ran tie—-yet, we will make it an advantage to the law. by reason of this saving in expense of its execution. There Is no opposition to the law in any part Of the state except in tie-cities of Charleston and Columbia and very little in the latter city. The foreign element is the bone of contention In the former city, and they will never become reconciled to onr institutions. In spite oT the fuel ilii'L the great benellts of thed.ispen-r.ry hew are reaped by our entire "people.

Test Case Heine Made. Let not the friends of the law be discouraged: its success is assured and they will livetosoe its adoption by a majority of the states of the American Union. The days of the bar-room are over, and the influence of the bar-keeper destroyed In South Carolina, and I am satistied it will he In the nation at no late day. A test case is already being m ide in Charles ton to carry the law to the supreme court of the United States, and we expect a d eislon in twenty days. We will take the case up on habeas corpus proceedings. In the me - rit ime, the constables will watch the shipt:'-"ts of liquor Into the state and will not si bm any packages unless they have drong grounds to believe that it is not for personal use. Ids to the decision In the registration case aid our position on that matter, tJovernor Kvans said. "I will simply say there will lie a straight light now between the white p an end the nlgge-r. and God save the white man that goes to the negro. Heyoud this. 1 have noth ing more to say than I have already said." While giving the above interview, Governor Evans received notice that a UnitediStates marshal had arrested one of his liquor constables who had made a seizure in Ucaufort in defiance of Judge Simonton’s injunction. What will be done about it is not known as yet. Assistant Attorney General Town send is now in Charleston at work on the case Governor Kvans refers to. r r«;ni New rort to *« out 1* A Washington, May 10. boat Cushing left the Wa- it:, parti yesterday' at half o'clock for Key West, 1'!:;.. its to m ike the voyage as i *ible without going it to > ocean, with Mich : jveii a '■ d! i n-.u . it to return to Newport, K.

May 10.—The Drooklyn Jockey club handicap was run at Gravesend yesterday and was won by Hornpipe.

Washington, May 10.—Secretary Car- ;b le is receiving numerous invitations to deliver “sound money” speeches in various parts of the west and south west, but on account of public business will be unable to accept any invita tions other than those already an nounced. Among the cities which in vitations have been received are Cin cinnati, ().; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Nash ville, Tenn.; Russellville, Ivy., and Lex ington, Ky. Secretary Carlisle, it is understood, has two distinct objects in view in the stumping tour in question. He goes to Memphis to present t in; administration tiido of the money question, and he goes to Kentucky to square himself with those of his old democratic constitu ents who, with or without authority, insist upon the charge that since as suming his present oiliee he lias revers ed himself ns to silver. The one speech, therefore—the Memphis speech — will be addressed to the country at large, while the speeches delivered in Kentucky will be in a certain sense local in their topic and treatment, but not improbably, it is thought, the Ken tucky speeches will exceed Hie Mem phis speech in interest. The adminis tration’s attitude on finance is already understood. Mr. Carlisle, at best, and with all of his powers of clear state ment, can only hope to emphasize it.

Washington, May 1(5.—The Spanish government has notified the Cramps, shipbuilders, of Philadelphia, that the gunboat contracted for to be used on tiu* river Canto, in Cuba, will not be needed, ns the Cuban rebellon is practi- eally at tin end. This is due to reports made by General Campus, commander- in-ehiet of th" Spanish forces in Cuba, that no further ships or materials of war need be sent him. The gunboat ’.va- to have been of the latest design of swift and .‘mall craft, suitable for navigating the shallow water of the ( auto, which is a main artery of com munication to the interior of Cuba. She was to be capable of transporting 400 troops inland, ! :i) tons burden, and to draw not more than four feet of water. Minsister Dupuy de j/ome of Spain says the Tampa story ns to a bloody battle, in which 1.000 or more Spanish troops were slaughtered, is absurd. He does not regard a denial necessary, but he expresses surprise that the public should l>e misled into crediting a trag edy, widen, if true, would be of such magnitude ns to be known by the whole world. Mfmphis, Tenn., May Hi.—Yesterday was Arkansas day at Camp SeholieM, the seat of the great interstate drill and encampment lu progre s here. Six thousand people gathered t » see the companies drill, fully ".<> m coming from Arkansas. Little Rock was well repre sented. The Fletcher Zouaves of that city drilled first and made a fine im- * prossion. Later came tiie Morton < ti- i dots, of Washington, D. C.. who per haps eclipsed anything in the way of drill work done here since the big affair began. They stand a good chance of winning first prize and the famous Galveston cup which the Na tional Fencibles, of Washington, now hold. The McCarthy Light Guards, of Little Rock, who have a national repu tation because of their many victories at interstate drills, drilled last yester- 1 day. Barring an error, that of omit ting to give inspection orders, their drill was excellent, and the Arkansas I contingent manifested its delight fre quently. Company 1), Third United , States cavalry, gave an exhibition drill | during the afternoon. Today the Chickasaw Guards and the Governor's Guards, of this city will drill, as will also the Thurston FitVs, of Omaha. The wcaA'.er h: ■ been ideal and the atteu lane.’ large.

Sir Walter responded nobly ami again his name rang in the air. La*z/.arone came ttgain and war, promptly challenged by Hornpipe who had crept up almost un observed. A desperate struggle en sued. Tho task was too great for Laz- eiroiie. He faltered under the fierce attack of whip and spur. This cost him the race. Hornpipe, running true to the last, won by a good neck. Lnz- Z'lro te heat Sir Walter a length and a hall for the place. Counter Tenor, the . three-year-old, who went begging at fifty to one, was ridden in and around his field its if he were a polo pony and was fourth. In the hands of a capable jockey this colt would have given Hornpipe an argument. Tn speaking of the race afterwards, ' Murphy said that when he began to tn »ve up with La/./.arone he got so much mud in his face he deluded to rush him to the front at onee. Hamil ton, who rode the winner, said that the other jockeys rode their racing at tho start tind he did his at the finish. Hornpipe pulled up lame but cooled out all right. Hecould not have gone a mile on a dry track. Taral said that Hornpipe was a better horse than he had any idea of, but considered Lazza- rone the best horse iu the race. He had no excuse to make for Dr. Rice's defeat. ____________ THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE. I'Rlriim) ’.Vtinner. WaBHU’CV IN, May 15. I - .

China, on our trade relations with that empire. Noting a falling off in the im portations of domestic cottons from the United States as ’.veil as Great Britain, Mr. Jernigan advances the opinion that the manufacture of cotton cloth by China and Japan is responsible for the decrease. In 1 Stilt the first spinning mill was erected in Japan with 5,456 spindles; in iss:; there were sixteen mills with 4:t,Ti)0 spindles, and in 1*95 there were forty- six mills with some 600,000 spindles. The statistics regarding the industry in China have not been published, but a very conservative estimate is that the end of this year will witness 660,000 spindles, o.ooo looms, besides numerous cotton gins ready to operate in fifteen cotton mills.
