Ilis majesty has abandoned hit inten tion of visiting the riding class of the oflicers of the Potsdam cavalry regi ment. In the attack upon Emperor William by Dietrich Weilaud, whilo the former was being driven from the Ilathskellar to the railroad station, the emperor was struck on the cheek just below the right eye. He was not seriously injured and refrained Irom commenting upon the subject. The burgomaster, who accom panied a member of the staff to the sta tion, pointed out that his majesty’s cheek was bleeding. Assailant Is Insane.

After tho surgeons’ visit to his maj esty a bulletin was issued as follows: “The wound is in the right check and about an inch and a half long. It passes over the zygoua and penetrates to tho bone. It has the character of a contused wound. There has been much bleeding, but tho wound has been closed with bandaging, without sewing. The emperor passed a fairly good night, is free from headache and his general condition is good.” The emperor has been obliged to fore go his projected visit to Koenigsberg. The News In the Heiclising.

The members of tho reichstag in at tendance stood during the president’s speech. The socialist members were not present. In tho lower house of the Prussian diet, the pre-idem, Herr Von Kroecher, announced that the emperor’s wound was not serious, but that he would be obliged to keep his bed for a few days. Tho president also expressed horror at tho damnable act and callod for three bochs for his majesty, which were given with enthusiasm. Development of Wireless Telegraphy In Belgium. Washington, March 7.—An interest ing account of the successful experi ments with wireless telegraphy is con tained in reports received at the state department from Uouaul Georgo W\ Roosevelt at Brussels, Belgium. ^ The experiments wore conducted by Emile Guarani, inventor of an automatic re peater. He first attempted to transmit wireless messages direct from Brussels to Antwerp, a distance of io miles, and thoroughly established the futility of attempting to send messages over such a distance without the aid of captive balloons or masts. He then turned all his attention toward the transmission of the electric rays by relays, and in this, it is stated, he was entirely suc cessful. He telegraphed from a struc ture in Brussels to one on the tower of St. Rombant church, in Mnliues. Nu merous messages, says Consul lloose- velt 4 were received and transmitted with great distinctness and two mes sages were received at the time when communication with the ground from tho transmitter had been interrupted. This was tho first instance on record where wireless messages were ex changed between two large cities with the apparatus placed on high monu ments and without the help of captive balloons or kites. Tho rays arriving at Maliues traversed several towns— Schaarbeek, Hnreu, Vilvorde, Eppe- ghem and a large part of Mallnes itself— over chimneys, monuments, woods and other obstacles which tend to stop or weaken tho electric radiations. Mr. Guarani’s system involves the method used in ordinary electric teleg raphy of relays and translators, the ap paratus at intermediate stations repeat ing the messages automatically as re ceived. Mr. Guarani presents a formidable argument against tho hope that dis tances will be traversed with a single flash. “The world is round,” he says, “and the rays spread in a straight lino.” FRIGHTFUL WORK OF FLAMES BOGUS BEGESFORD TURNS UP AGAIN Now He Is.

SOUTH CAROLINA S. S, ASSOCIATION. Held in Newberry February 25th to 27th. ANNUAL CONVENTION. Murder, Treason nnd Other High Crimes and Misdemeanors Are Ram pant lu Philippine Islands—3trlklug Instances of Misplaced Confidence. Washington, March 7.—A large mail has been received at the war depart ment from General MacArtbur. It in cludes the record of many cases of mur der, treason and many other high crimes and misdemeanors ou tho part of native Filipinos. A native named Lucino Almndia was convicted by a military commission of flagrant violations of the laws of war and sentenced tc hard labor for 29 years and to pay a fine of 20,000 pesos. Gen eral MacArtbur commuted the sentence to deportation to Guam. It appears from tho evidence that he was a pro vincial chief or president of La Unione at the time of tho occupation of that prov ince, holding office from the insurrec tionary junta In that official capacity ho called on the officer commanding the American forces and offered his services to aid in the work of pacifying the province. His offer was accepted iu good faith and ho was allowed to con tinue in office. While thus acting the role of a friend of tho American cause, the presidente and those under him in authority were, with a common secret understanding, actually administering their offices under the orders and in the interest of tho insurrectionary chiefs. Whenever they collected lawfully im posed taxes they also sought to impose and collect a like or larger amount of taxes for the benefit of the insurgent forces, and in some instances they di verted the public funds derived from taxes legitimately collected to the same treasonable uso Further Treachery. Another case of treachery reported by General MacArtbur is that of Oatalino Lindayaa, who was convicted by a mil itary commission of violating the laws of war and giving intelligence to the enemy and sentenced to 15 years’ con finement at hard labor. General Mac- Arthur says that the evidence in the case shows that the accused accepted the y,fico of presidente of the pueblo of Gui- guinfo from insurgent authority at a time when the office was lawfully filled by a presidente appointed under the au thority of the United States, and that while the accused was acting the part of an amigo he was by letter advising the commanding general of the insur gent forces in his vicinity of the number aud means and defense of the American ji Guiguinta partment com man prisoner for every rifle surrendered, insurgent who surrenders his gun will be permitted to name the prisoner to be released, provided no exceptional cir cumstances require this man’s deten tion, in which case another selection will be allowed. It is rumored in the local press that the Carman case will be referred to Washington and that a statement on certain matters concerning the case will be obtained from Major General Otis. The Federalists report that as a re sult of the uegotiations with the insur gent General Trias, who is iu southern Luzon, Trias will probably surrender.

Xi* DlHtluKiiiMhed Delegates Were Present and Song Service Was Led by a Famous Singer and Composer—Cherokee Ably Represented. The 24th annual convention of the South Carolina Sunday School As sociation was held in the Lutheran church in the city of Newberry Feb. 25, 26, 27, 1901. The meeting was opened with singing by the entire congregation, accompanied by organ and piano. This song service, as were all others during the convention, was led by Prof. E. O. Excell, of Chicago, the famous Sunday School singer and composer. His skillful leadership in these exercises won for him an in-* ternational love second to none of tho great singers of the land. The greeting of the Newberry con vention to the assembling conven tion was then extended by Dr. Wm. ; E. Pelham, chairman of the local committee on entertainment, in ' Kind words of welcome made the in ternational party, delegates and vis- ; itors to feel secure in their respective homes, (aud let it be said by way, of : parenthesis, that they did, of a truth. | Know how to entertain in these homes) which was responded to by Dr. T. H. Law, of Spartanburg, in his own touching style. Prof. Geo. B. Cromer, President of Newberry College, then took the chair and in troduced the first speaker, Rev. B. kV. Spillman, of Raleigh, N. C., sec retary of Baptist Sunday school work. Mr. Spillman has been a Sun day school specialist since his gradu ation at Wake Forest College in 1891. He is now field secretary of the North Carolina Baptist Convention and has added to his church each year an average of eighty new Sunday schools and 5,000 scholars. He handled his subject, “The interna tional work,” w.th much force and insisted that denominations should put their heads together in this great wor* instead of discussing the differ ent modes of worship. The exercises of the evening were closed by singing, after which a few minutes were passed in pleasant hand-shaking. The opening exercises of the ses sion on Tuesday morning found the president in the chair. He intro- d Mr. Marion Lawrence, of ai general , cepted the no tary of the Ohio Sunday Schoo sociation and at once brought it to a foremost place. For many years be has been superintendent of the great Washington Street Congregational Sunday school of Toledo, which is largely the product of his own skilll and in 1899 he was appointed genera, secretary. The subjects assigned him were, “The modern Sunday School,” and “The year reviewed,” of which he in his clear-cut, Presbyterian way, spoke simple and plain and always made one feel that he knew of what he spoke. Prof. H. M. Hamill, D. D., of Jacksonville, Ind., international field secretary, was next introduced. In bis own quaint way he told us of his first Sunday school work at his old home in Alabama when a boy. At the age of sixteen he was under General Lee and in 1868 he gradu ated at Auburn, Ala. He entered the ministry in 1885, organized the normal department of the Illinois Sunday school Association in 1888 and after five years work was ap pointed field worker and field secre tary. The work assigned him, “The front line in State Sunday school work,” seemed as an every day occur rence in his life, as he was so gentle and self possessed in his remarks that a little child or an ordinary Sunday school worker could under stand. A primary round table for pri mary and intermediate teachers only was conducted by Mrs. H. M. Hamill. She has been her husband’s assis tant in Sunday school work since 1885 and is also president of the primary union, of Jacksonville, and secretary of the Illinois normal de partment and member of its staff. At this meefng several primary anions were organized among the different delegates representing their counties, to be perfected when these said delegates shall have time to awaken interest in their home work. Wednesday afternoon in the ab sence of Mrs. Mary S. Whilden, su perintendent of primary work, Charleston, S. C., Mrs. Hamill came to the rescue and gave an interesting talk to the children, about three hundred in number, on “Progress in primary work”. She Is gentle, but finds she ^iust bear many crosses in her work. At the seventh and last service of this very interesting and instructive convention the following subjects were discussed: “The unreached and unsaved masses,” and “The Sunday school as a soul winner,” were brought out and made the bouse feel that these men had, of a surety, been with Jesus. At the close an open and free collection was asked and $1,000 was given for the support of the convention in our own belovt-d State. After a few brief words on parting we hade farewell, to meet in Greenwood, S. C., at our next annual convention. Cherokee Delegates.

Manchester, Va., Feb. 26, 1901.— Your correspondent from this section has been laid up with la grippe for several weeks and is just able to get about again. This disease has spread to an alarming extent in this section , this season. It is estimated that there have been over eight hundred cases in the city of Richmond, with a corresponding number in Mancbes- i ter; almost every family lias hud some one down with it. Wo have also had a good many cases of small pox (so-called) in both places, hut I believe they are on the decline. Richmond city is making some rapid strides in the way of improve ments. Her city council has recently appropriated $60,000 to improve her parks, and furnish music on them for the summer season. They intend building a new jail. The new Elec toral Power Company is nearly com pleted, which will furnish the city with cheaper lights.

MORGAN RESUMES SPEECH Supports Ilis Resolution Providing For the Abrogation of tbe Clayton* IJultver Treaty—Declares It Would Not Affect NTcura'tuaa Canal. Washington. March 7.—When the senate couveued today, the galleries were crowded with spectators. It was evident that Vice President Roosevelt's warning that he would direct the galle ries to be cleared in the event of another demonstration of applause had had its effect, us not a ripple disturbed tbe quiet when the vice president entered the chamber. The vice president announced the ap pointment of Messrs. Cullom of Illinois and Cockrell of Missouri as members ol tliQ board of regents of the timltbsonias institution. At the conclusion of routine business, Mr. Morgan resumed his speech, began yesterday, in support of bis resolution declaring the abrogation of the Clayton- Buhvcr treaty. Mr. Morgan read that part of the Ciaytoa-Bulwer treaty which relates to tbe Nicaragua canal, and also tbe protocols of an agreement for the construction of the canal made between the United States government and the Nicaragua aud Colt* of An Honest Medicine for La Grippe. George W. Waitt, of South Gar diner. Me., says: “I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vender. Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy is the only thing that has done pny good what ever. I have used one bottle of it and the chills, cold and grip have all left me. 1 congratulate the manu facturers of an honest medicine.” For sale by Cherokee Drug Co. governments Rica. lie said it was perfectly clear that tha protocols entered into lust fall by this government were a distinct violation of the C’layton-Bulwer treaty. It wad equally evident that the United States must abandon its plignted faith with Nicaragua aud Costa Rica, in order that the Clayton-Buiwar treaty might be fastened permanently upon this govern ment and hang like a pall over it, or take such a stand as will sustain the president in his patriotic aud noble ac tion. The protocol entered into expressed tbe defiance by tho president of thd Clayton-Buiwer treaty and his disre gard of its provisions. They undertook to place the government on the high ground that tho Clayton-Buiwer treaty is abrogated by this government. “It is our duty,” insisted Mr. Mor gan. “io declare that that treaty is not in tho way of our legislating for the Nicaragua canal. If we hesitate today, it will be the same a year hence, and the provisions of that treaty will b« fastened upon us.” Mr. Morgan urged that hts resolution be adopted, iu order that tho president might understand the situation of the senate so thoroughly that ne would feel justified iu proceeding along the lines looking to the construction of the Nica ragua canal while congress was in its long recess. At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan’s speech, the senate, without taking any action upon the resolution, on motion of Mr. Lodge, at 1:10 went into execu tive session. • At tho conclusion of the exeontiT* tmator William P.
