Defeated by the Japanese. 18,000 Chinese Engaged and Routed by the First Army. LONDON, March 3 -Tbe Hai Cbeog correspondent of the Central News telegraphs under the date of February 28 : "The First army to-day attacked the enemy encamped between the Liaoyang and New Cbwang roads. The Fifth brigade entered the right wing, rooted it and drove it back toward Daifoon. The main colaron attacked and routed the enemy at Chang Hoai. The Sixth brigade marched aloog the Liaoyang road, joined the main di? vision, and with it occupied Tung Yuentai and the immediate neighbor? hood in the direction of the Liaoyang. The Japanese loss was 10 killed and 82 wounded The Chinese left 150 dead OD the field." LONDON, March 3.-Official dispatch? es received at Hiroshima confirm the above report. The Japanese occupied after the fighting, the entire district to Saiyenti-Tafuton, and further move? ments were projected for March 1. The official Japanese reports of Feb? ruary 28, said that the enemy bad 15,000, men and ten guns. Gen. Yih was io command. During the action, a second Chinese force of 3,000 men made an attack on Hai-Cheug from tbe eastward, but were repulsed without difficulty. On March 1, Geo. Nodzu reported from Hai-Cheog. "The third divisioo began the ad? vance at 8 a. m. The advance guard engaged and repulsed 2,000 of the enemy. Geo. Hayashi's brigade theo joined the main division, which routed the Chinese and captured Konsbinho at noon. The advance guard theo drove 3,000 other Chinese from Saotisu. The Japanese outposts oow guard Mairsu, Loshofctao aod Kun Fan tea. The Chinese retreated and, afterward the final Japanese advance, their maia body lay but a short distance from the Japanese front. Throughout the morning of the 28th it snowed heavily. The storm bas not abated on March 1." A Central News dispatch dated at Seoul on March 1 says that the Corean war minister and other exalted officials have received permission, in response to their own request, to accompany the Second Japanese army throughout the rest of the campaign in China The will be attached to General Noggi's staff. It is reported in Tokio that the Chinese peace envoys will be received at Simooosaki aod the negotia? tions will be conducted there. A Central News dispatch from Pekio says that Li Hung Chwang, the head of China's new peace missioo, is still at the capital. He has conferred with ail the conspicuous officials and most of the European diplomatists. There is a unanimous desire of men of influence in Peking that United States Minister Denby help the Chinese I mission by acting as intermediary in arranging for the meeting of the nego? tiators and the course of procedure. The care with which Li Hung Chang is preparing for his duties gives the best evidence of the earnestness of China's purpose. The government bas given abundant proof io the last few days that it will make a sincere effort to secure peace. The Central News correspondent in Chee Foo says that the Japanese are advancing steadily upon New Chwang. The Railroad Commission. The railroad commissioners were io j . .session nearly all day yesterday aod | wheo night had come, they had not yet j finished their work The trouble seemed to be in formulating the reasons j for not changing the freight rates on fertilisers. What was the exact oause of the delay was not given to the pub lie The commission did transact some business, however. The most import? ant to the public was the displacement of Secretary Bartlett and the election cf D^Arcy P. Duncan to be the secre? tary of the board. Who ver Col. Dun ran's friends are, they will doubtless be pleased with this additional good for? tune. Meanwhile, the whole com? munity will regret that Capt Bartlett did not get the place in which he has dooe good service for so long a time. The petition of the people of Dar? lington asking that the Charleston, Sumter aod Northern and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroads be required to run into a union depot in Darlington was received. The commission de? cided to continue the matter until the next meeting when an ord?r in com? pliance with the request of the Darling? ton people will be issued.- The State.

Culture of Tobacco. Mr. B. M. Brown, of Cam? den, Gives His Experi? ence With the Plant. Editor Wateree Messenger:-I offer the following for farmers who con? template planting tobacco the pres? ent year, and at the outset let me say that better raise 4c. cotton than poor tobacco. This being so, the aim of the farmers should be to rai9e fine tobacco, and the farmer or planter who will not give his tobacco crop constant and intelligent care had bet? ter not plant it, for be will be sure to fail in raising a paying crop. Taking it for granted that the "plant bei^'bas been properly prepared, and the seed sown, and the cover put over the Bed, the most important considera? tion is the selection of the proper land for raising fine tobacco. 1st. Select light gray or sandy land with yellow sub-soil (not clay) with na? tural drainage. This is very impor? tant, for there is no plant with which I have any acquaintance that will show the effect of too much water sooner than the tobacco plant. If the roots are sobbed by too much water it will com? mence to "French,M and then goodbye to all your bright hopes. Having selected your land, break up flush with turning plows as early as the latid is in proper condition to work; then lay off rows three feet three inches and bed out as for cotton; reverse your beds two or three times before j 1st of April. About 10 days be? fore you are ready to "s^et out" distribute your fertilizer and cover with ''double foot plow." Wheu your plants are large enough to trans? plant finish beds by throwing two more furrows with seven inch turning plow, run roller on beds if dry to settle the land. If there is a season in the land knock off the top of the beds with a board. The beds are now ready to receive the plants, which set thiry-four inches apart if land is in fair state of product? iveness; if thin land is used set plants thirty-six inches on bed. The plant is ready to set out when the stalk is .the size of a common lead pencil. Very small plants do not com? mence to grow as soon after trans? planting as those indicated *above, re? plant as soon as possible in order to have tobacco as near the same age. In some instances the second replanting is necessary. Don't wait for rain, but set plants and water them. J pint of water if properly applied wul save a plant io the dryest weather. As sooo as the plant shows signs of living stir the land with the hoe, which hastens the growth and destroys any young grass that may have made its appear? ance. Keep the land well stirred with sweep; I never have used any other D40W. Some planters use the turning shovel, which may be necessary wh$n the land has not sufficient natural drain? age to take the water off rapidly enough. As the plant leaves expand be careful not to bruise them, for a bruised leaf will be sure to show up in curing; therefore it is to the interest of the far? mer to select the most careful and trust? worthy hand on the farm to do the plowing These may seem small mat? ters, but they will tel! when your tobac? co is put upon the warehouse floor. About the last of May or 1st of June ! the worms wake their appearance. Now comes the tug of war. If you expect to succeed there must be no putting off uniil to-morrow, but be on the offensive and continue there. Not only kill the worms but brush the eggs from the leaves. Now is the time the personal supervision of the farmer or manager is absolutely necessary. To destroy the eggs that produce the worms it is only necessary to brush them from the plant to the ground; when they batch, there being nothing for them to subsist on of course they die. Some farmers have the eggs mashed, which consumes time and is entirely unnecessary. Come as near completely destroying this first army of worms as it is possible to do, thereby lessening tbe next army, wbicb will make their apearau.ee in about four weeks after the first. It is of the greatest importance to get your plants out early and push the growth to maturity as rapidly as possible to escape the August crop of worms, which is more numerous and ! more destructive than those already I disposed of. I The worms I have been treating of i is known as the Horn Worm, but there is another and more destructive little fellow called the Bud Worm, which attacks the plant in the bud and unless taken out will eDtirely destroy every plant attacked. This worm is very small when first commencing its depredations and unless very careful will be overlooked. The riext important period is the "topping," and this requires the roost intelligent judgment up to this tittie in the lite of tobacco plant, as you may lose in fopping too low or you may lose in toppiDg too high. The great object is to have tobacco of "ood size with plenty of "body" but not "bony." No definite instructions can be given for topping. To illustrate, one plant might hear sixteen leaves and the next would not do io top higher than eight leaves. The vigor? ousness of the plaut must be considered and the farmer exercise his best judg? ment. This is a part of the manage? ment of the crop which is ou ly acquired by experience and intelligent observa? tion. As a general thing the time to commence "topping''' is when the "but? ton'' or seed vessel makes its appear I aoce. lu a few clavs after topping the fuckers make their appearance and will be found where the leaf grows from the , stalk. They must be kept off or broken ; off as sooo after they appear as possible, j When tobacco is highly fertilized the ! sucker will appear before the topping. Never let them get over an iuch long if you cso prevent it, for what goes to sustaio the sucker should go into the leaf. If you are not an expert you will oot detect the damage from the sucker until your tobacco is taken from the curing barn, wheo you will find you have a large leaf with a desirable color but DO "body'' and when sold will be classed as "strips," wheo with proper care you might have had a wrapper or a nice waxy white lemon "cutter.v Later 00 I will give you hints on gathering, curing, packiDg, shipping aod selliog. Will take pleasure io answering any questions or giviog any information to farmers that I may be able to give, provided they ask pointed questions and enclose stamp for reply. The above is not theory bat knowl? edge gained by three years practical experience with tobacco. Yours truly, B. M. BROWN. Camden, S. C. * Farmers and Farming in the Souttt. A writer in the February number of Lippincott, a Northern man we sup? pose, undertakes to show that the farmers of our country are sinking gradually into ignorauce and illiteracy. He thinks that the down I ward grade is manifest that they will : finally be estimated in the United States as the peasantry of Europe who farm as mere tenants. That the farmers as a class may not be so high? ly educated and cultivated as they should be is true, but the Northern writer takes a very limited, oue-sided view of the situation. The West is bad oft'and the farmers out there may be so handicapped with debts, mort? gages and interest as to be practical? ly wage-earners only for the large land owners But this is not the case in the South to the same extent, and by a very great" deal. While it is true that the prices of farm products have been steadily de? clining for years under bad Republi? can Legislation that has been ab? solutely hostile to the great farming j class, it is also true that the farmers in the South are still independent taken as a body, and are in no danger of becoming tenants or of degenerat? ing in the condition of European peasantry. Farming bas had much to depress it in the South, but it has yet been able to make some progress, and now that farmers are returning to the good old way of raising what they cousume-bread and meat-hog and hominy and the other good, toothsome things, they are better off than Northern pessimists may think. The Jacksonville Times Union has the following pertinent statement of facts : "The census reports will show that in the South, while the' agricultural ?age has vastiy increased during ! la.e years, the size of the farms re ; mains about the same, and that so 1 far from farming lands passing into ; the hands of a few, the number of i small farmers is constantly growing, and the pre emption of public lands '. as homesteads bids fair to soon absorb j this entire territory thus reserved. "In the South the mortgage system j is largely of the chattel or crop lien i character, the land itself being com I paratively unincurabered. And j further than this, the climatic ad I vantages, wonderful versatility of Boil, p'id the variety of products pos? sible, render the farmer self-support? ing, and the only causes which can bring him to a state of servitude are ? his own thriftlessness and profligacy.''' The South under favorable laws, ! with fairly remunerative prices, would I rush forward in the line of progress j that would excite admiration and I astonishment. In most of the South j the farmer can work out of door6 ; eleven months, or more, in the year. ; Labor is cheap, lands are abundant, ; climate is delightful, every thing is propitious but low prices by reason i of vicious and stupid legislation. The Southern farmers would greatly pros? per if tocaceo, cotton, corn, wheat etc , fetched two-thirds as much as j they did a few years ago -Wilming? ton Messenger.

From The State. AUGUSTA, GA., March 1.-Seeing ex-Governor Tillman passing through Columbia to-day en route to his home j at Trenton after his Northern trip, I ! bearded the train and came through : with him, with the object of securing j bis views on the new political conditions I which have developed during his ab sence with regard to the coming Coo ! Btitutional Convention 6ght-Irby's manifesto, etc. The Senator talked freely for the press and paid his re? spects to Senator Irby in a bold man ! ner. When asked about, his Northern trip, in the interest of the Woman's College. Governor Tillman said : "We remain? ed three days in Washington and then made a flying trip to Baltimore on Sun? day evening, going on to Philadelphia that night, where we made a thorough examination of the methods of work i and the organization of the Drexel In I st i tate, one of the finest industrial j schools in the United States. Tuesday we examined .the Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, N. Y., another very fine institution of this class. Wednesday we started to tbe college for teachers in the upper part of New York city, another very fine school. Altogether, I thiok we have obtained many valua? ble ideas as to our own college at Rock Hill. I returned to Washington yester? day morning, finished my business there and left for home last night, while Governor Evans went on to Bos? ton with Professor Johnson to examine the Massachusetts school of technol? ogy " "What do you think of the outlook j for an extra session of Congress ?" "There appears to be a desire on the part of the leaders of both parties, in? cluding the President, to avoid if pos? sible an extra session. The Senate is uow holding night sessions to try to dispose of the appropriation bill, and j unless something unexpected occurs, there will bc no extra session, at least that is the impression I got.'1 "Have youseen Senator Irby's inter? view, and if so, what do you think of it?" "Yes," said the senator, "I have seen it ; I read it io Washington yester? day and was considerably surprised, as when we parted with him on Sunday he gave no intimation of any purpose to antagonize the effort for an adjustment. There are in it some errors of fact which it is not necessary to particular? ize, and some uncharitable and un? reasonable assertions and deductions. It seems to me unfortunate that the chairman of the Democratic State executive committee did noe see proper to join in our effort. If I understand j the situation in South Carolina, we ; must have mutual coocessions.and make I due allowance for the prejudices and j feelings that have been so deepiy! i aroused, io trying to adjust our politi- j cal matters so as tc prevent a struggle . between the majority of the white peo I plc on one side and a minority, in | ! alliance with the negroes, on the other, j Aud any man who cannot rise above ? his personal feelings at this juncture \ will be unsafe to foliow." "Io this connection ? notice in this j j morning's papers an interview with i j Congressman Wilson, which, boiled ! down, means that we must have a i fight and that it cannot be prevented. I have great respect for Mr. Wilson's judgment, but it seems to me he has ignored the only factor of any prime j importance in the case-that is, the j uegro. The people of Spartanburg can with all saftety, have a fight, for the whites outnumber the negroes two to ooe in that county. They have never understood the necessity and impor? tance of tbe Constitutional Convention with its one overmastering purpose of getting rid of the oegro in politics, be? cause they have never suffered from j negro domination as the middle and lower counties did during the recon? struction period. If Mr. Wilson bad j taken a broader view and considered the entire State he could not dismiss j so flippantly this vital issue. If the j condition were throughout the State as i be pictures it, there would be no need tor a convention at. all. I realize as ! he does that the people will settle ail j these matters, either at the primary or ar the general election. What I ! j had hoped to do, and what I still j : hope to see done, is to have the white ; I people uoite in the primary and have , : all abide by it. Then the whites will ; present a united front to the negroes , io the general election. If Mr. Wil- j ; son's idea prevails that a fight is ine? vitable and best-which I deny-then i a large uumber of whites will not go j into the primary at all, and if their anger aud passions shall prompt them j to lead the negroes to the polls, we I ! can easily imagine, when we reinem- j . ber what, occurred at the last State ' election, that the State will presenta, spectacle alike disgraceful to both fac I tions, and no matter which wins, there I will he woumts to the body politic that will tioi heul for a half century. "To prevent this I am willing to sink all personal feelings, al! personal ambitions, all considerations of vindic? tiveness, or revenge, and make such concessions as are just and proper If Senator Irby and Mr. Wilson shall suc? ceed in forcing \ fight, I still hope that their cooler judgment wiil show them that it is neither patriotic nor wiso to do so I have faith io the patriotism and good sense of the masses who are in ! terested io no man's political fortunes j sufficiently to take such dreadful risks. . This is not an ordinary Srnre election and cannot affect ei'her Mr. Wilson or Senator Irby. Il the Reform move? ment cau't live without a perpetuation of strife and bitterness), then ir ought to die. I do not believe any such stui? myself. I have always relied ou irs principles and the wisdon of the pol? icy which has been pursued. Our peo pie have been educated tn politics to know what their rights are and they will always sustain their rights when properly presented to them. >enator Irby charges that he bas been betrayed. I for one deny having taken him into consideration wheo arriving at aa agreement with.the Barnwell committee, and the Reform movement is stronger to-day than it bas ever beeo." When fold that the opposition to the ! scheme of the ultra-Conservatives was i that they did uot wish to subscribe to the conditions proposed io the Hemp hill coofereoce, Senator Tillman said : "That's not at all surprising because DO one expected them to be reasonable Their programme all along has been rule or ruin, aud I would join Irby in a battle for the cootrol of the conven? tion by the Reformers alone if that idea prevailed generally among the Antis. We will never have a Constitutional Con? vention with my conseot which will disfranchise the poor and ignorant white man aloog with the oegro. As I have already said ooce before, the practical men on both sides must get together aod hold down the extremists. In concluson, Senator Tillman said : "There is ooe other poiot io Mr. Wil 80Q;s ioterview which I think worthy of notice ; that is that the plan outlined by me bas failed already, because the Spartanburg Herald, the Greenville News and The Columbia State have re? fused to eodorse it. 1 thiok he will find that ju?t the reverse will be fouod to be true I did oot expect uoaoimous consent, least of all from those sources -io fact would doubt my owo saoity aod hooesty of purpose if I received such baokiog." Wheo I asked the Senator if he was willing to take the stump against the Irby and Wilson forces if they brought about a fight, he replied: "If the issue is presented in such a way as lo re? quire it, I will take the stump. I have already said this and it was no Pick? wickian utterance. It was said in down? right earnest." Senator Tillman was then questioned as to the proposed National Reform movement aod replied he had heard nothing of it in Washington to amouot to anything, as such movements ema? nated from the people and not from such men as were in Washington. He declared that the movement was coming aod added with great emphasis that it was "Not a long way off either." ?E. J. WATSON. Desperadoes in Georgia.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Represeo tative Bryan of Nebraska abandoned at a late hour this afternoon, his inten? tion of securing a conference of the free silver Representatives and Sen? ators with a view to issuing a call to the democrats of the country, laying down the proposition that a majority of the Democrats favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and calling upon this majority to take control of the party organization. He decided, instead, to circulate the call among such of the House Demo? crats as favor the free coinage of sil? ver, with a veiw to securing their en? dorsement. About twenty gentlemen had signed at the hour of adjourn? ment. These were representatives of fifteen States, Mr. Bryan's purpose being to wideo interest in the call as much as possible. A number of Demo? crats declined to sign, for one reason or another, but Mr. Bryan believes that in the end a very considerable number will affix their signatures to the paper. A copy of the call will also be circulat? ed io the Senate to-morrow. It is pre? sented only to Democrats and not to Populists or free-silver Republicans. Mr. Bryan believes that if this mat? ter be squarely presented to the Demo? cratic voters of the country, the effect will be seen in the party organization in future campaigns, and that it will re? sult in giving the control of the party machinery to men who really represent the majority-namely, the free si.ver element. The cali is addressed "to the Demo? crats of the United States, and reads as follows : We the undersigned Democrats, pre? sent for your consideration the follow? ing statement : We believe that the es? tablishment of gold as the only mone? tary standard and the elimination of silver as a full legal tender money will increase the purchasing power of each dollar, add to the burden of all debts, decrease the market value of all o:her forms of property, continue and inten? sify business depression, and finally., re? duce the majority of the people to finan? cial bondage. We believe that no party can hope for enduring success io the United States so loog as it advocates a single gold standard, and that the advocacy of such a policy would be especially fatal to a party which, like the Democratic party, derives its voting strength from those who may without reproach be called the common people, and we point to the overwheming defeat of the party in 1894, to the opposition aroused by the veto of the seigniorage bill, and to the still more unanimous protest against the issue of gold bonds as proof that, the Democratic party cannot be brough1; to the support of the gold standard bolicy. We believe that the money question will be tbe paramount issue in 1896 and will so remain until it is settled by the intelligence and patriotism of the American voters. We believe that a large majority of the Democrats of the United States favor bimetalism and realize that it can only be secured by thc restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio and we assert that the majority have, and should exercise, the right to control the policy of the party and re? tain the party name. We believe that it is the duty of the majority and within their power to take charge of the party ornanization and make the Democratic party an effective instrument in the ac? complishment of needed reforms. It is not necessary that tbe Demo? crats should surrender their convic? tions on other questions in order to take an active part in the settlement of the question which at this time ear passes all others in importance. We believe that the rank aod file of the Democratic party should at once assert themselves in the Democr&tio party and place the party on record in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of f old and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage existed prior to 1373 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, such gold and sil? ler coin to be a full legal tender for all debts public and private. We urge all Democrats who favor the financial policy above set forth to associate themselves and impress their m views upon the party organization ; we ; urge all newspapers in harmony with the above financial policy to place ic at the head of the editorial columns and assist in the immediate restoration of bimetallism. The signatures to the call were not made public, but it can be stated that Evans P. Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, while in the city to-night signed the document and said the Constitution would take up the fight 1 on the lines laid town in the cail.
