GOV- CLOUGH'S BLOOD UP. j New York Politics Greet Oration to Rouse- j \elt: 20.03 Peccle Present Van Wyck M- ' so uivcn a Reception; a Number of Gc!J t Democrats V.teruicd. \ Pakis, France, (Pv Cable.) .'he United States neuce commissioners bo- | gan tbeir usual three hours ses.->icn. a? 10 v clock Saturday mo:niug. They are understood to have taken into consideration suggestions and counter propositions from the Spainiards, of which the Americans now have enough to engage their attention at the daily session. It may be regarded as quite likely that the Spaniards have air6ady outlined their expectations and that they are beyond the line of possible acquiesenee by the Americans. The latter are now acting along well considered iinCs, consistently and with a definite end 1:1 view. They have to some decree dis- | closed Amer.mu expectation and deter- j ruination. i'ue Spainiards, however, I seem unable or unwilling at the outset, to understand or believe the Americans have at the outset put forth their requirements, and that they are destined to remaiu virtually unchanged by liuest-e or counter diplomacy. While the Philippines have not j-et been reached in the deliberations this question is doubtless relatively not far distant,and at that point i- likely to come the full stress of their diplomatic controversy, j Relering to the Philippine phase of the ; negotiations The (.laudios says: ''The question was somewhat touched upon, though not dicussed Friday, but there was enough to indicate serious diflicul lies wueu 11 noes t-urne uj>. Go>crror C!ou?h Incensed. The following telegram was sent by Governor dough, of Minnesota, to the War Department: "Adjutant-Genera!, Washington. No one claims that reenforcements were needed at Walker. I have not been asked for assistance from that quarter, though I do not think that Genera! Bacon has won the victory he claims. The people generally say so. The Indians claim they have won and that is my opiuiou. The people all along the Fosston branch of the Great Northern Railroad are very much alarmed and are asking for assistance for the protection asked of the War Deri n~ti? out Th? soldiers are here and are willing and ready to go, but as you have revoked your order of yesterday, you can do what you like with veur soldiers. The State of Minnesota will try and get along without assistance from the Department in the future. D. M. Clotigh, Governor. I'pou receiot of Governor Clough's message. General Corbin visited the White Honse and "ehj^-ed it to the President. An order wVfeMft to Genera! Bacou, directing him to confer with Goveinor dough, \ and to station troops along the line of { the railroad iu the vicinity of the recent ] trouble, in such numbers as will prevent any danger to tbe people and to allay their alarm. New York Politics. New Yoke City. (Special). An es. J timate of the number of well-wishers that thronged the streets leading to the Union League Club and the club house itself Saturday night at the reception tendered to Colonel Theodore Koose- j velt is 20,000. When the Colonel was about to depart, shortly after 10 o'clock, the crowd began clamoring loudly for a speech. He finally decided to say something from the front steps. A mighty roar went up when he appeared, t'td was introduced as "The Governor." His short address was tumultuonsly received. Justice Augustus Van Wyck. the Democratic nominee for Governor of the State, was aiao given a rousang reception at the Manhattan Glub, as ware several other candidate on the State ticket who were present The occasion was made significant not only by the presence of a great crowd, but by the presence of many gold Democrats, prominent among whom was John G. Carlisle. , Germany's Sentiment Changing. There has been a great change in German public opinion on the subject of the retention of the Philippine Islands by the United States. The feeling toward America, generally, is much more favorable than it was a couple of month ago. l'rivy Councillor Schwartzenstein, formerly of the German embassy at Washington, declares that Germany does not dream of putting obstacles in America's way. Absorbed by American Tobacco Co. After negotiations extending o~:-r several months, the American Tobacco n V?. V. ULU^aujf, vi c?? JLUXO, lid J purchased the immense tobacco works and warehouses ovfued by the Drurnmoud Tobacco Company, of St. Louis, Mo,, of which Harrison I. Drummond is president. The plant is one ot the largest of its kind iu the world. The cash price was $3,457,001', paid by the American Tobacco Company in certified checks drawn to ttie order of Harrison Drummond, president of the now defunct company. The sale cf the Drummond Tobacco Company was outright There were no stock considerations. Indian Troubles Not 0\er. Reports from Walker, Minn., indicate that the Indian troubles are not m over. Grave apprehension prevails among the settlers along the Fosston Branch of the Great Northern, and they have asked for military protection. Two battalions of the Minnesota National Guard have been sent to Deer River and Cass Lake. They are equipped with a Gatling and a field gun for each battery, and each man ear'iee * aabre and a revolver ? WHIPPING POST AT CAMP GFIGER. Col. Tillman Prosecuted for Cruelty ts Little Negroes. Columbia was filled with stories of Lieut. Col. James II. Tillmau'scruelty iu whipping three little negroes, Arthur Fair, Jim Smith and another named Wiley, aged about 14 years, recently, for stealing a pistol from "Cncle George," a trusted and faithful old negro servant wno accompauieu me First regiment oil its travel?. Capt. 0. K. Manlilin oi Company H, and Lieuts. Walter M. JJunlup, Company G, and Wade H. Ligon, Company H, were very active in preferring charges against Coi. Tilixnau aud swore out a warrant for a preliminary hearing before .Magistrate Ciarkson. While the whipping post cannot be condoned, yet viewing the case in the light of facts brought out in the preliminary, the ulfair was considerably exaggerated. Two of the negroes were in Col. Tillman's employ, aud from Col. Tillman's point of view he hud no idea that the men would handle the uegroos as roughly as they did, although tho chastisement was by 110 ineau3 gentle. . -?o? Blessings in Disguise. There islittle doubt that the low price oi cotton win prove a uiessmg 111 <usguise to hundreds of farmers in Vork county. They are arranging to sow tko largest acreage in wheat that Las ever been sown in those parts, and they are not going to do the work iu the usual haphazard style. They will prepare the land properly, sow the grain with a drill and use fertilizer freely. The prevailing method of "sowing" wheat has been to throw the seed ou unpioughed ground, covered with grass, weeds, cotton 01 corn stalks, and then "[dough it in" with a twister plough. The result was that, us a rule, the yield was poor, aud wheat-raising was pronounced a failure. It is easy to predict that with iui[ roved methods there will bj increased yield per acre, and wheat-raising will be put down as a "success." Some farmers say now that they do not expect to plant any cotton ut all next year. The Postoffice Park. Charleston's now Postoffice Park will probably be completed earliear than was at lirst expected. The iron fence has been up for several days and the contractors are getting in the final pieces of the work. When finished the park will be one of the handsomest in the country, and will be a decided ornament in place of of a barren waste, which has been such an eye-sore, near the government building. The grounds will be regularly laid out with walks and pretty fiowers wiil be planted in all the plats. The bronze fountain in the centre of the park will be connected with the water pipes within the next few days. She Broke the RccorJ.

Searching for .Minerals. Some time ago some excitement was created by the discovery of an apparently new niude grave on the land cultivated by 3Ir. Allen Woodle, near j Burnt factory, a few miles north of I liennettsville.

Charlestan, was knocked down, choloroformed and robbed by a6trange negro recently. The negro also ransacked the show cases and attempted to force the cash drawers. X The Fall Festival.

EXAMPLE FOR SMALL PLACES. ! The Milling Company at Ccronacn Meeting With Great Success. The Corouaea ?Jilli*)g company is doing a rushing business now.

K of the First regiment at Columbia. It seems from the facts stated that Young was drunk, and was somowhat insolent when Meetze railed him ' down.
