ANTI-TILLMANFTES IN CONVENTION. The Coneemtlve or Old-Une Wins of the Palmetto Democracy Secede Prom the Coneentlon Adopting the Oenln Platform. Columbia, S. C., September 2(1.—At 2 o'clock this morning the secret caucus in the anti-Tillman convention decided S a vote of 124 to 90 to make nomi na ns in opposition to the state ticket nominated at the regular state conven tion last week at which Evans was nominated for governor, and the Ocala platform adopted, together with the Chicago platform. The same conven tion met here about two weeks ago and did not consider it judicious to make nominations but made certain demands upon the Tillman convention which met one Week later, calling upon them to come out fairly and squarely against populism. That convention failing to do this, the anti Tillmanites issued a call for another convention far last night, it being understood at the time of the first convention that such action would take place. Many anti-Tillman voters participat ed in the recent primary and consider themselves in honor bound to support the ticket nominated by the Tillman convention. They opposed nomina tions, while those who held off are in favor of making a fight. Charleston and Sumter counties, two of the strong est anti-Tillman counties opposed nomi nations and lead the fight against them. There was a tremendous at tendance and much enthusiasm shown. Colonel Dargan, of Darlington, is up for governor. PUGILISTS BEFORE THE BAR. Pllmmer, the Champion Bantam-Weight, and Party Arrested for Disorder. New Orleans.

Havanna, September 25.—A terri ble storms prevails throughout the length and breath of the Island of Cuba. It began last evening and continued with undiminished fury through the night and there are no signs of its abatement. Oreat damage has been done to property, many houses having been blown down, trees unrooted and fences and outbuildings carried away. So far. however, no loss of life has been reported. The shipping in this harbor has escaped injury. Washington, September 25.—The tropical hurricane that is supposed by the weather bureau experts to have de vastated the island of Cuba is now at tacking the southern coast of Florida and lashing the waters of the (>ulf. It is uncertain whether to pursue its northwestern course or eavoin off the land up the Atlantic ip. the tracks of the coastwise trading ver.sels. The bureau has given timely warn ing. and any mariner who during the next two or three days heads his vessel towards the south will do so at the risk of both ship and cargo. This storm is a perfect type of those bred in the tropics during the Septem ber and early October seasons. Its ve locity is unusual, but this is expected to diminish before the wind reaches the northern latitudes. Last night the storm centre was two hundred miles southeast of Key West, the wind hav ing a velocity of thirty-six miles from the northeast. It moved two hundred miles west last night, and today at the rate of sixteen miles an hour, its aver age forward movement previously be ing fourteen miles an hour.

In fact, one day last week we broke the record in doing the largest business in the history of the house, and this la jiaying a good deal.” ■ What is true of that house, in a gen- eral way. is true of almost every other ‘house in the same line, and is also true of the houses in nearly every other line of trade. Further evidence of this picking up of trade was given at the public sale of silk {roods held yesterday. The sale was made of the products of seven silk mills, some of which are located in this country, and others in France, Italy, and Germany, and It aggregated 900 pieces, or about 600,000 yards, which brought in round numbers $500,000, the average prices paid being good. It had been expected that the sale would take at least two days, but so brisk was the buying that it was all concluded within the day. PROTEST AGAINST THE TARIFF.

Y„ September 26.—The state democratic conveotion meet today in the Rink. Several contests are be fore the body and the nominations will not be reached before tonight or to morrow. After the convening of the delegates yesterday, Senator Murphy named David B. HU1 as temporary chairman, and after a prolonged ap plause. the senior senator addressed the convention. He said: "Our opponents by Uae vigorous besting of bogus political tom-toms, and the Insistence upon petty and misleading local Issues, seek to divert the public attention from the unenvia ble record which they made during their recent lour years' control of the federal government. The people have not, however, fargottea the fact that it was a republican adminfetration. which. In that lUfated year of HB0. saddled the country with unwise and vicious legislation, which has since crippled its prosperity, and en dangered Its lloances and augmented Its public burdens. The people remember that the Sher man silver bullion-purchase law was the pro duct of republican statesmanship—against the enactment of which every democrat In con gress voted—a measure fraught with Injury to the business Interests of the country, based upon no just or sound principle of finance, converting a constitutional money metal into a commodity, hastening us on to a single rath er than a bl-metatllc standard, and weakening our national credit at home and abroad. The 1'aaie Republican la Inception. It should be borne In mind that the finan cial panic of 1808 was a republican panic—re publican In Ita inception, continuance and dis astrous effects—a situation largely Induced by the results then existing and impending of that republican legislation which a democratic ad ministration had not part or parcel In enacting, sanctioning or condoning, bnt which it only un fortunately inherited from its predecessor. “The people recollect that it was under a no tional democratic administration that the Sherman law was repealed, not. as promptly as some of us desired, it is true, but nevertheless unconditionally repealed within eight months after our advent to power. I point you to the fact that the democratic party—although entrenched for four years with the distribution of all the official patronage in cident to the execution of this powerful law, yet with patriotic self-sacrifice, deliberately cast aside ail the power, influence and patron age involved therein, subordinating temporary aelflsh Interests to the public good, wiped this odious law from the statute books within the first year of our administration, and at the en suing congressional elections the spectacle will be witnessed for the first time in 24 years, of stale elections conducted as they of right ought to be. without federal Interference, dictation or intimidation. The enactment of the McKinley tariff law was the culminating atrocity of republican recklessness in legislation; a measure so ex treme. so selfish, so unreasonable, that I hazard nothing in asserting that conservative and fair- minded republicans everywhere regretted the party exigencies which seemed to demand Its passage. It was the very personification of protectionism run mad The McKinley law nss gone wncr* tns W saw- bine twineth. gone to stay, never to be re-en acted again by any political party. It is true that there was s vexatious and unfortunate delay, which we regretted, occasioned in part by the antiquated rules of the senate which tolerated unlimited debate—rules which we did not frame but which we inherited, sad which, by reason of our slender majority we seemed unable to change but which I trust In the near future will be abrogated ; but the fact should be remembered that the record shows that we occupied less time, by some months. In repeal ing the-law than our opponenU took in enact ing it in 1890. Never did a political party assume the re sponsibility of government under greater sm- barrassmeuts than did the democratic party in March. 1803 Under such unfavorable and ad verse circumstances, with a slender majority in the senate, with an unwieldy majority in the house, with timidity to contend with on ous hand and radicalism on the other, it Is not to be wondered at that the measure of revision which was finally passed by the democratic ma jority and which is now submitted to tbs Judg ment of the .country does sot In all respects meet the public expectations. "Without retracting a single word which I ut tered In the senate in criticism of the measure while engaged in the effort to perfect it and render it more acceptable, uninfluenced by any personal disappointment or any pride of opin ion. I may be permitted to speak of the meas ure as it is—nothing extenuate—nor set down aught in malice. "Of its strictly tsrm matures, ft may s- truthfully urged that It la a vast Improvement over the McKinley law and will clearly demon strate its superiority as time rolls on and the business men In this country adjust themselves to Its conditions. "The country should understand that any gen. eral or extensive tariff revision is not contem plated by the democratic party now or In the near future. This determination, however, does not preclude the desirability of redeeming by the passage of separate bills, whatever pledges we have made in our platform or other wise. tor free raw materials or the readjust ment of any objectionable augur schedule, yond this, it Is not wise to go much further nt this time, unless the unforeseen necessities of the treasury. Imperatively demand It. "Fellow-democrats of this empire state, and of the country, the duty of the hour is not hnnh criticism of democratic leaders or of democrat ic measures, nor mutual recrimination, conflicting counsels, but it is n time for coact)- intlon. for unity of purpose, for aggressive no tion. Democratic nntlonnl and stats adminis trations must alike, be loyally supported. The American people have not changed their eeatl- mente and the sound find cherished prlnciplee of true democracy will still receive their ap proval, because the democratic cause is the cause of the neople.

The various departments of the national government has been conducted with success end the democratic party ten whole Is entitled to the confidence of the masses of the people whose interests it endeavors faithfully to serve.

Washington, September 96.—The de partment ot state haa received formal notification from M. Mendenca the Bra silian minister of the abrogation, of the reciprocity arrangement existing between the United States and bis own country, to take effect January 1st. The recent tariff law abrogates all the reciprocity treaties without any notices, but the government of Brazil has seen fit to give the full three months notice, and therefore, although Brazilian sugar, coffee, molasses and hides have not been admitted free to the country since the recent tariff bill became a law, all the advantages on manufac tured iron goods, railroad supplies and the agricultural products entering Bra zil from the United States will continue in force until the end of the present year. It is claimed that while the Brazilian reciprocity has been advantageous to Brazilian sugar producers its abroga tion will not work any material harm to American interests in BrazH, as the free wool of the new tariff will create considerable trade between the two countries and the slight increase of duty against those articles which were affected by th6 expiring arrangement will not materially diminish their ex port from the United States. NEITHER ONE THE BETTER. Tks Abbott-Ever hard! Fight la New Or leans Knds In a Draw. New Orleans, September 26.—The entertainment last night before the Olympic club commenced with a friendly exhibition bout of four rounds between young Griffo, the Australian, and Miek Dunn.

WHY THE NAME WAS CHANGED The Explanation for Changing Appomatox I’oslofllce to tha Name ••Surrender.*' Washington, September 25.—There has been considerable comment as to the action of the postmaster-general In changing the name of the postoffice at Appomattox court house., Va.,to Sur render, The change was made last week, and every one who saw the sim ple announcement womlgged, why the change was made. The explanation is that Virginia will still have a postoffice named Appomattox, though not at the famous place where Grant and Lee met. This will hereafter be known as Sur render. The reason for the postoffice department's action Is this: The court house at Appomattox Court House, Va.. has been moved to the town of Nebras ka, shout three miles distant. Nebras ka will hereafter be known as Appo mattox, and its postoffice was so named by an order issued by the postmaster- general Saturday.

The matter was laid before the citizens and the name Surrender was selected and forwarded to the postmaster-gen eral. He authorized the change, and It was made. MARYLAND'S LATE SENSATION.
