Tt bert is satisIlc'd willa h 11s Present 1'oIlllnn. (Special to News and Courier.) Washington, January 8.--Two weeks ago Senator Tillman mado ap ,lication to the navy department to have the Texas docked at Port Royal. The order to this effect was issued, but it was afterwards rescinded be cause it was found that the large amount of coal on board the Texas might cause delay in getting into the dock. Today Senator Tillman learned that the department has or dored the Cmsar, a 5,000 ton colliot, to Port Royal as soon as she has fin ished her present duties, which keep her at Porto Rico. The officials of tho Southern Rail way decided today to grant a request made in behalf of the Clemnson Col logo for a side-track to the college. Col D. K. Norris, president of the Cotton mill at Cateechoo, and one of the Clemson Collogo trustees, spent the day in the city, and ho and Sena tor Tillman had a conference with Vice-President G annon. These gen tlemen went over with Mr. Gannon the conditions at Clemson; they ex plained to him that the College spends at least $2,00() a year in haul ing freight from the depot to the col lege buildings, about a mile away. The action of the trustees last sum mer and the refusal of the railroad officials at that timo to grant the ro quost were referred to and the con ditions fully explained. As the ro cult of the conference. Mr. Gannon .agroed- that the railroad would not only operate a spur track, if it were put in, which had been previously refused, but would lay iron if the col logo authorities would do the grad ing and put down the crossties. This was rather more than the trustees had expected. Under the now ar rangement the college will have its stuff delivered from the depot to the college buildings at the nominal cost of one dollar per car. The now ar rangoment will also increase the at endance upon the commencements, because it will be possible for the railroad to run excursion trains right into the college grounds. The road is already graded and there will be but little cost involved in putting in crossties. Senator Till .nan feels that the p1romised im prove nont will be of value to the college, aot only financially, but every way. It is understood today that Sena or'McLaurin wins in the matter -of tho teeniaus supervisorship, in which hw huaq been a clash between him on the one side and Senator Tillman and Congressmen Wilson and Lati iner on the other, and that the R1ev. Mr. Thomas of Greenville is to get the appointment over Col. Austin, Senators H-anna and Pritchard are mnderstood to have interested them selves in behalf of Senator McLau n's candidate. There seems to be some complica Lion over the matter of the compen sation of Mr Shell, the sapervisor *vho recently died, and, while Sena tor Tillman has no objection to Mr. l'homas, lie will have the confirma tion temporarily delayed until the matter of compensation to Mrs. Shell, the widow, is settled.' He is also anxious to be satisfied with regard to the way in which Mr. Thomas will handle the affairs of tho office, so that there shall be no factional poli tics in it. Senator McLaurin introduced to day an amendment to the Senate cur reoy bill providing for a repeal of the 10 per cent tax upon the issue of State Bthiks. The Senator has ex pressed his determination to push tl-is matter to a vote. He claims th-at the repeal is'pure Democratic doctrine. He has been chafing under the .criticisms of somie of his col leagues for his position upon the ex pansion question. Some of-the Dem ocratic Senators have in the past voted against a ropeal of this Stato bank tax and ho has deteruined to put them on record by forcing ia vote on this amneodment. "I only want," said he, "to find out who the Demo crats are." Sonator McLaurin has been with Congressman Norton to the depart mont of justico and has interested himself actively in the matter of ro opening tho postollico at Lake City. 1- and Mr. Norton have recommend ed 1)r. White for postmaster at Beau fort, and have also obtained the estab lishmeut of the postotlico at Rod Bluff. They have also obtained the promise of tho appointment of these postiastors: At Loris, J. C. Bry ant; at Summerton, H. J. White; at Bucksvillo, Mrs. M. F. Higgins, wife of the dead postmaster. Congroasmao Talbert set at rest today all talk about his being a can didato for any other ollico except that which ho now holds. "1 will be a eandidat.o for re-election for Congress from the 2nd district," said he, "and I have never entertained any other idea. I am perfectly satisfied with this position and i am doing every thing in my power to look after the interests of the poi.l of my district." Colonel Talbert is devoting much of his time to the postotlico depart. meunt, and is looking in person after all of the applications for office, and especially to the interests of people desiring now postoilices to be estab lished. IBUBONIC P'LAOnUE WITIH US. Thrce CaIses in Atnia and Fifteen New Onuo in ionolulu. Washington, D. C., Jan. 8.-The bubonic plague has undoubtedly broken out in Manila.

In order to keep smoked meat in snmmer so that it will not bo bother od by bugs, mold, slime and other enemies, it is a good practice to do it thoroughly and pack in barrels with alfalfa and other chaff. Then roll the barrel into a cool dry room, and the meats will keep ini excellent con dition. Dampness cannot affect the meat packed in the chaff, and in sects will never got io the chaff to reach the pork. This method is het ter than coating the meats wvithi black pepper, paper, muslin sacks and other devices.

It is the season of the year for repairs and renewals. Every implement or picco of machinery should be overhauled and repairs or. dered, so as to be ready for the spring work. An implement that is in good order saves labor and enables the farmer to hurry with the early work when every day is valuable. The farmer who does not place imple muents under cover at this season may he forced to buy new ones much earlier than lie thinks.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.j BOER ATTACK BEATEN BACK, niioDly i; i1ui.s1 OF ATTIMiPT TO :Tolint iAi)Ysnitig.

Thorefore today'1; nows that the attempt of the Boors to capture the town has been decisively repulsed and that the one my lost heavily causes i joy ful reac tion and more happiness than the success itself justifies. 1 t was a bad Sunday for London. Buller telegraphed from the Tugela that his last message from Gonora Vhiet, shut in ILadysmith, dated Saturday was "I amt being hard pressed." It wats evident that i gon oral action was in progress. The ox planation that t he clouding over of the sky prevented the heliograph from further work was accepted skeptically. Everybody believed that Ladysmith had fallon and that the nows of the disaster was being hold back. 1'his morning the war oflice gave out a dispatch from General Buller, dated today, saying: "The follow ing is from General White, dated it Ladysmith Sunday afternoon: "'An attack was commenced yes torday on my whole position, but chiefly against Ciesar's camp and Wagon hill. The enemy was in great strength and pushed the attack with the greatest strength and en ergy. Some of our entrenchments on Wagon hill wero three times tak on by the enemy and rot,akon by us. ''he attack continued until 7 o'clock at night. At one point our position was occupied by the enemy all day, but at dusk, in a heavy rain storm, they were turned out of the position in a heavy rain storm, at the point of the bayonet in a most gallant mannor by the Devons, led by Col onel Park. "The troops have had a very try ing time and have behaved excellent ly. They are elated at having ren dorod this service to the Queen. The onomy was repulsed everywhere with very heavy loss, greatly exceeding ours, which will be reported as soon as the lists are completed." The news of Vhite's victory spread with astonishing rapidity all over London and through England and it caused an instantaneous change in the aspeoct of the metropolis. Smuil ing faces wore seen everywhere, and even in the sedate foreign office and other departments of the goverument great elation wvas shown. The news papers are all jubilant. The con servative journals announced1 in big head lines "Glorious victory at Lady smith." The stock exchange received the news with loud cheers and prices im mediately ascended in all depairt monts. A rumor is now current in the city that General Buller has crossed the Tugela river, captured twelve Boer guns and is now marching on to re lieve Ladysmith. Nothing has been received officially corroborative of this rumor so the report must be taken with reserve. FREREt CAM, Jan. 7.--Beports were received here today that Gen eral White had captured 400 prison ers in the Boor attack on Ladysmith yesterday. Trho Beers, it is said were allowed to come up the South side right to the British lines whoa the British ordered a charge. Be sides the prisoners the Boers lost heavily in killed and wounded. Al though the report is not oficial it is believed here. London, January 8.-A letter from a private of the Irish Rifles, written at Stormberg, where he wams taken pirisoner afteor Galtacre's defeat, says Gatacro was so enraged when he found he had been misled that lie pulled a revolver and shot his guide.
