The General Assembly.
Columbia, Febuary 19 -Tbe attend?
ance upon the Boase to-day was not as
large as usual. Some of tbe members
had not quite recovered from tbe fa
* ligues pf tbe Charleston trip, others had
not managed to get their la od legs on,
and a few wanted to catch up on sleep
Bat alt who did come to the State
House, and it was a large majority, as
those who postponed their appearance
until the night session, were unanimous
tn singing the piaises of Charleston
and their treatment by the committee
Every one is delighted with the trip,
and a good deal of time was spent tell?
ing jokes and reminiscences about the
memorable invasioo of the "City by
the Sea." '
The most important action of the
House to-day was the adoption of a
resolution fixing the 27th of the month,
at 10.30 o'clock, as the day for final
adjournment. There was some slight
opposition to the adoption of tbe reso?
lution, but the desire to get home was
so very manifest that nothing could
have stopped the adoption of tbe reso
ia ti on.
The important announcement was
made by Mr. Yeldell, of the ways and
means committee, that the committee
bills to raise revenue by an income tax,
a graduated license bill and a tax on
insurance would be presented in a few
hoars, and he wished to have these
measures considered in the matter of
fixing a final day. He also announced
that the committee had about finished
tbe work on them, and further, that
unless such bills were passed there
would-have to be a considerable increase
in the ?evy for next year. The House
- subsequently passed without debate the
five mills" levy for State purposes-this
money will be distributed by the next
General Assembly, and it is stated that
it will not be sufficient without dis?
pensary funds to pull the State through
Those who are interested in the fight
on the graduated income and license
bills had as well look into the matter,
although it may not pass at this ses
V sion.
The House to-day passsed to its third
y reading the appropriation bill and after
some little fight the bili consolidating
> the A. C. L properties io this State.
A resolution of thanks to the city of
Charleston for the hospitality extended
to the members of the Legislature on
the occasion of their visit to the city on
the 18th was adopted.
The special committee appointed
to make an examination of the books
" of the State Treasurer and the siok
iog food reported.
The bill providing for the payment
of the claims of Judge Mackey was
postponed until the nrzt session.
The supply bill was taken up and
partially oousidered.
Gov. Eilerbe has approved the bill
- requiring railroads to check bicycles as
g baggage.
THE SENATE
The Senate was not in working trim
lo day and no great amount of debate
was iodoiged io.
By consent all second reading bills
were passed to a third reading without
debate or amendment.
A House bill to provide punishment
for laborers who violate either verbal or
written contracts after having received
supplies, was ammended to provide
that the law should apply to verbal con
' tracts only when there were two disin?
terested witnesses present and the bill
passed.
Mr Connor's fertilizer tax bill was
- the special order, and was debated at
length by Mr. Archer aod others, lt
was finally continued to next session.
The Seventh Week.
Unless Minds Are Changed
It Will be the Last.
If the senate does not hang UP thc |
bouse concurrent resolution to aojoun. ?
sine die at 10 30 a. m to-day week the I
"long session" of the South Carolina i
general assembly wit! terminate at that
1 time aod the taxpayers can draw a sigh !
. of relief And speaking of the tax
payers, a great many of th?m herc
abouts, already heavily taxed, are con !
sumed with anxiety to know what the !
legislature is going to do with the three !
very radical reveoue measures that !
have just b<*en introduced almost as the ;
session is about to come to an end !
The members of the administration who |
prepared them have made them so far
reaching, in many instances providing
for double taxation, that the general be?
lief is that the legislature wili not. pass !
them this session ia the face of tho 5 :
mill levy already provided for io the |
supply bill. AU three of the meas- i
ores have been plaoed on tbe special
order calendar on a footing with the ;
legislativa appropriation bill They so
revolutionize the system of taxation to ;
which the people in this State have
been accustomed to for years and years j
that they will necessarily be exhaus
tively debated. Hence it is thought
that the legislature will be more than
likely to continue them to the next
session. The advocates of these meas- !
ares declare that without them the 5
mills levy will be insufficient to raise ;
the necessary amount for the running
expenses of the government and that ;
there will be a deficiency of many thou
sands of dollars under the levy fixed.
They state farther that without these
acts the levy next year will have to be !
at least 6 mills.
In view of all the talk in the last six
years about reducing the taxes of the j
people, tbe present crisis, which none I
can deny is a serious oce, is of more
than ordinary interest to the public
How it will be settled of conree no ooe
can tell. Judging from all tbat can be
beard, however, the taxpayers will
wail if all the taxes and licenses pro?
posed are imposed. The situation is
one that all realize will require most
careful and judicious handling.
With these measures going oyer to
the next session there is no reason why
the general assembly cannot adjourn on
the day fixed. Nearly all the bills of
consequence are on the special order
calendar and with the new five-minute
role as to speeches being enforced the
debate should not consume very much
time. The house on Saturday night
showed how it could work when it took
a notion to do so.
The dispensary question has been
practically gotten out of the way.
Legislation io^ regard to that matter
will end with the passage of the Garr?s
"administration" bill The hou3e has
already considered that bill pretty fui ly.
It bas been amended so as to do away
with ..tasters" on the board of control
aod Mr. Winklers amendmeot that the
profits on liquors offered for sale shall
not be more than 33 1-3 per cent, of
the original oost thereof is pending.
It is understood that nooe of the other
dispensary bills will be pressed at this
session. Neither Senator Mayfield or
Mr. Barns are io the* humor to press I
their bills, and Mr. Mauldin has al?
ready had his continued to the next ses?
sion. What Mr. Childs will do about
bis prohibition measure remains to be
seen ; he is not here now, having been
called away by sickness If the body
adjourns by the time contemplated he
wi.4 be unabb to get the bill consider- ?
ed at this session.
The appropriation and supply bills
have been disposed ot by the bouse
The bouse cut the South Carolina col?
lege appropriation dowo, but i,n the
fight over it practically settled the ques?
tion of chargiog tuition fees in the edu?
cational institutions cf the State so far
as this general assembly is concerned.
Mr. E D. Smith has had his bill on
the subject continued until the next
session. The senate finance committee
bas recommended that all these appro?
priations but those for the salarie? of
state house clerks be restored to the fig?
ures presented by tbe committee on
ways and means. Ir: some instances
additional sums overlooked have been
provided by this committee
During the past week a radical meas?
ure was introduced through the com?
mittee on affairs-one that is demoed
to drive whiskey distillers out of busi?
ness in this State. It is a biif to pro
hibit the distilling of liquors containing
alcohol in this State and providing fines
from $500 to ?1,000 or imprisonment
from two to five year?.
The senate did not have very much
to doduriDg the week jusfrended. It con?
tinued until next session Mr Connor's
bill to reduce the privilege tax en fer
tilizers, thereby settling the fate of sev
erat such bills now pending. Then it
passed the bicycle baggage bill and ir
became a law to the joy of the wheel
men It killed the anti-cigarette b'll
and the bill to repeal tbe anti-frf?e pass
act. It has passed fhe bill rejuiriog
all railroad passenger* trains except
through ve8tibu'ed flyers, to stop at all
stations, after putting a proviso so as to
provide for at least one mixed train a
day. This week the bouse promises to
give the senate all it can do day and
night
The most important measures aside
from the appropriatioo and supply bills
to pass the bouse last week was the
Kibbler bill providing for a banking
aod insurance commission. The print
ing bill weni over to the next; session
and the Atlantic Coast Line bill was
passed ; so was the general bill relating
to boards of health.
In the senate Senator Archer's at?
tack on Clemson college was one of tue
features of tbe week.
Tbe bouse has passed tbe anti Greek
letter fraternity b:ll, concerning which
o*"haps the least said the better.
J?dge Macke y's claim has beeu dis?
posed of for this session, though it has
gone through io a sbapa that its advo?
cates little desired.
Mr Gage's supplementary school tax
joint resolution is siil! or? j he calendar
A great many bills are up as unfinished
business.
To-day there will be no session of
either house, ir being Washington's
birthday and, therefore, a legal holi?
day.
Tomorrow the two houses will fcegin
the seventh week's work. They have
a large amount of work before them,
but with hard work and less talk, with
night as well as day session, there is
no reason why the fioal adjournment
cannot be had in time for members to
depart for their homes by Monday's
outgoing trains.-The State Feb. 22.
A Precious Negro.
Atlanta, Feb. 18.-A special from
Hogansviile, Ga,, to The Constitution
says that Anthony Hill, a uegro want?
ed in Alabama for murder, was killed
in Meriwether county, Georgia, yester?
day. Hill Ind killed the sou of the
Sheriff of Randolph county, Ala , and
fled to Georgia. Three men named
Johnson, Clark and Brazell went to
arrest bim. Clark ordered him to sur
render. Kill advanced with an axe
and Clark walked backward, but stum?
bled and fell. Hill kept on toward
him with the ase. Clark fearing Hill
would strike him fired from the grouod
and emptied a load of shot into the
negro. Hill threw the axe at Clark,
but missed him Johnson and Brazell
fired as he threw the axe and Hill fell
dead. There was a reward of $500
for bim. \
The Greeks Aroused.
Fierce Resentment at the Ac?
tion of tbe Powers.
Athens, Feb 19.-The proposals
of some of the European powers to
take coercive measures against
Greece to enforce their prohibition
of Greek action in Crete have aroused
fierce public resentment throughout
the kingdom, and popular demands
that the government resist the action
of the powers at any cost are being
made in all quarters The govern
ment, backed by the unanimous senti?
ment of the people, still insists that
the Greek flotilla in certain waters
shall be allowed to act in accordance
with the purposes for which the ves
sels were sent. If the European
squadrons should prevent Greece
from acting against the Turks by sea,
a revolution in Macedonia and Epirns
is certain to follow.
The attitude assumed by the Libe?
rals in the British parliament
in regard to Crete is hailed with great
enthusiasm here. Greece has relied
and still relies upon an appeal of the
people everywhere in her behalf,
and this feeling of confidence in the
sympathy of Europe generally goes
far towards explaining the defiant
course she has taken.
The Greek cruiser Spizia, with
full steam up, is lying in the Piraeus
awaiting orders to proceed to Cretan
waters, and advices from Macedonia
say that ali of the principal bridges
and roads in that territory are mined ?
in readiness to destroy them in order
to prevent the advance of the Turks
A dispatch from Canea states that
three of the great powers are in favor
of a union between Crete and Greece
It is reported that King George will
appeal to the Hellenic race for a
great loan to meet the expene.es of
the military and naval preparations.
A British ironclad has prevented the
steamer Junon from embarking pro?
visions intended for the use of the
Greek troops in Crete. The miii
tary operations on the part of Greece
continue. Two more classes of the
reserves have been called out The
king openly favors resitance to the
demands of the powers ,
In the course of a debate in the
chamber of deputies last evening,
Premier Delyannis slated that the
government was seeking to discover
the reason for the operation of Greece
in Crete As a result of their in?
vestigations, he eaid the cabinet had
arrived at certain conclusions, which,
however, he was not yet able to com
municate to the chamber further than
to declare that Greece would persist
in her policy and course of action in
Cr^te
The Greek steamer Han Hellenic,
conveying munitions of war to the
insurgents in Crete, has been stopped
and turned back by a British cruiser
The action of the British vessel has

Orders of the Admirais of
Foreign Fleets Alleged to
Have Been Disobeyed.
Canea, Feb 21 -The admirals
commanding the foreign fleets here J
yesterday visited Colonel VnK.-os, the I
commander of the Greek army of
occupation at his camp at Aghia
What transpired there has not been ?
made public, but upon the return of j
the admirals they invited the com- {
mander of the Greek warship Na - j
varchos Miaoulis to visit them The j
invitation was accepted and when i
the commander met the admirals he j
was informed that an attack would I
be made upon the Greek troops and
the Greek warship if Colonel Vassos j
advanced into the interior.
Subsequent to the interview the j
commander, accompanied by Rear j
Admiral Harris, commanding the
British fleet, proceeded to the camp !
of Colonel Vassos, who was informed
as to the decision that had been ar?
rived at by the commanding officers i
of the foreign fleets This morning
the insurgents in tue vicinity of
Canea began firing on the town, de !
spite the warnings that had been
given. The firing was continued for
some time, whereupon the admirals
of the foreign fleets ordered their
vessels cleared for action and soon
the guns of the fleet were throwing
shells into the insurgent camp A
British cruiser was the first of the
warships to open fire, vessels of the
other nations following in succession.
Forty shells wet!- fired The forts
fired blank cartridges at the Greek
dispatch boat Penielos. which had
exchanged shots with a Turkish
frigate After shots had been fired
by both vessels, the frigate with- i
drew. The German warship Kaiserin
Augusta has arrived here and landed
marines who will share iii the foreign
occupation of the town.
It has been learned that the ulti?
matum of the admirals to Col Vassos
was against his attacking ('anea . Ir j
apparently did not forbid him frfepi ?
' \
marching into the interior of the
island where Col. Vassos' purpose
was to occupy several strategic
points.
One report states that the ultima?
tum declared that if the Greek troops
! or the insurgents approached any
nearer to Canea than they were the
fleets would 6hell them, but if they
were quiet they would be permitted
to land food.
Col Vassos replied that he did not j
intend to attack Canea or the fhgs of
the powers He would remain on j
the defensive unless he was attacked, j
Notwithstanding this assurance, fight j
ing took place to day on the h?ls to j
the east of the town The combat- j
ants, who were Ctetan Christians;
and Mussulmans only, were in plain
view from the ships in the harbor ,
The reply of tthe Mussulmans to the !
fire of the Christian*) was very feeble,
and it could be easily seen
that they would be com
pelled to abandon their posi?
tions if the Christians passed them
Their gun practice was so very poor
that it excited ridicule on board the
ships. The main position of the
Christians was in a hamlet on the
ridge of the hills, where they had
hoisted the flag of Greece This po?
sition was about 4,000 yards from the j
warships.
At half past 4 o'clock the flagship j
displayed signals for the Dryad, Har
Her and Revenge, and one vessel I
each of the Italian. German and Rus?
sian squadrons to open fire upon the
Cretan position. The order was
quickly competed with The Brit?
ish vessels fired 40 shelis and the i
other vessels about 30 The aim of j
the gunners was very good, and it
was soon seen that the position of the
insurgents was becoming untenable
In about 10 minutes the Greek flair
was hauled down and as soon as it
dissappeared the order "'cease firing"
was given and the guns of the fleet
immediately became silent.
Thereupon the flag* was ag-ain
hoisted on its staff The hills in the
vicinity were crowded with Cretans.
The Mussulmans, encouraged and
emboldened by the assistance that
been given to them b> the fleets of
Christain Europe, now began a lively
fusilade on the Cretans who were f ?
gaged in removing their wounded
The Christians were evidently dis?
pirited by the action of the fleets and
made no attempt to return the fire
The action of the foreign warships
has caused the deepest indignation
here and the supporters of the sultan
are bitterly denounced on all side?.
It is declared that the powers in
upholding Moslem rule by force of
arms have made a melancholy and
degrading spectacle that Greece will
never forget
KNOWING HER DUTY
Greece Will Dare Do It De?
spite Obstacles.
Athens, Feb. 22.-The indignation
caused by the bombardment yester?
day of the insurgent position near
Canea by the foreign warships has
increased and the action of the pow
ers is denounced on every hand as a
gross outrage and a wanton disre
gard of the rights of Greece A
very largely attended indignation
meeting was held to-day at which
strong protests were made against
the interference of the powers, who,
it was declared, were pitting their
might against Greek right The
speakers vehemently asserted that
the country was now more firmly re?
solved than ever to spend its blood
and treasure for Crete. Prime Min
ister Delyannis addressed the meet
ing. He declared that the cabinet
was in Derfect accord with the na?
tion The government knew Us
duty fully and would perform it in
the face of every obstacle
The audience was carried away by j
the warlike words of the speakers, j
who were frequently interrupted by;
the cries for war. There is no de ;
riving the fact that the whole Ilel- !
lenin nicole are in a temper which ,
would make war welcome even j
against overwhelming odds They ?
are determined to uphold Greek
rights and honor, and will persisr in I
helping the Christians in Crete not- j
withstanding the attitude of tue j
powers in supporting the Turks
It is reported that Col Smolentz, j
minister of war, has resigned
M. Skouses. foreign minister, vis- j
ited the foreigh ministers to day und
I protested against a bombardment and i
tlie consequent encouragement of
the Turks It is stated that several
Christians were killed or wounded by
the shells fired by the foreign war?
ships, and that great havoc was done
to property
One hundred Turkish pi isoners, in?
cluding several officers, are in the 1
i
camp of Vassas. the commander of,
the Greek army of occupation ?
Korakas, a Greek, at the head of
5,000 Cretans, has invested the town j

who feared to remain in the town.
The consuls state that they were
unable to negotiate with the com
b?tants who were resolved to fight
to the end Both sides, Moslems and
Christians, refused to be hampered
with prisoners and therefore massa?
cred all their enemies who fell into
their hands.
Two thousand Chilians and 25.)
Turkish troops, with three guns. rare
still holding Selino against the Chris?
tians, but the position is critical
When attempting to approach
Canea, the consuls were fired upon
by the Christians, despite the fact
that they were bearing a white flag.
The Christians had been advised of
their an i val and this made their firing
on them all the more inexcusable, as
they could not plead that they
thought their carrying of the white
flag was a trick on the part of the
Moslems. As they returned to Se
iino, the Christians there fired on
their boats. Nobody is reported to
have been injured! Greek troops
have saved the lives of a number of
Mussulmans who were captured by
the insurgents at Kisamo Kastele.
The Island of Crete.
The island of Crete is situated
in the Mediterranean sea, to the
south of Greece, and is the most
southerly portion of Europe. It is
about 160 miles in length, while its
breadth does not anywhere exceed
35 miles, and in some places is only
10 or 12 miles The greater part of
the island is occupied by mountains,
some of which reach to a considera- >
ble height The intervals between
the mountain groups are filled up for !
the most part by undulating tracts. ;
consisting of hills of comparatively
low elevation. There are to rivers
of any importance That part of the
island which is not mountainous is. of
great fertility. Granges and lemons :
and other tropical fruits abound The
island also produces cotton, tobacco,
olive oil. wine and silk. Under a
better form of government the island
would, no doubt, be most prosperous.
The population of the island has,
been very much diminished At one ;
time it numbered 1.000,000, In 1885 j
the last census reported that it has
dwindled down to 300,000 and about
50,000 are Mohammedans nearly all
the others being Christians belong
ing to the Greek church, which has
eight bishops in the island. The lan?
guage spoken by both Christians and
Mohammedans is Greek.
Its chief city in Candia, which was
formerly the capital The present
capital is Canea, which is the seat of
a Greek bishop, and the officiai resi?
dence of the European consuls In
1469 the island was besieged and
conquered by the Turks, and it con?
tinued subject to the Ottoman rule
until the outbreak of the Greek revo?
lution in 1821 At that time the
natives made themselves masters of
the country, and drove the Turks or
Mohamedan population, to take re?
fuge in fortifications. This contest
was prolonged without any decisive
result until ?n 1831 the allied pow?
ers of Eurpe transferred the island to
the government of Mehemet Ali,
viceroy of Egypt It thus remained
until 1840, when it was taken from
Mehemet Ali and replaced under the
dominion of the Turks.
St. Paul visited the island Crete
and planted a church there. Ilence,
a large number of Christians in the
island lo this day. In 1866 the
Christians revolted against theTutks,
anc demanded annexation to the
kingdom of Greece. The war ex?
cited much sympathy among Chris
tians but the Cretans were subdued
in 1869.
The Cretans have declared their j
independence and appealed to I
Greece for aid The Christians have
long desired an union with Greece, j

CALLING TIME ON SPAN?
IARDS.
Gen. Fitz Lee Demands the
Active Support of the U.
S. Government.
Key West, Feb. 21.-Rumors have
prevailed all day here that something
stirring occurred in Habana yester?
day, though it cannot be confirmed
as yet in anyway The story is that
Gen Lee is weary cf his work and
the insolence and inattention shown
him there and is ready and anxious
to resign if the administration will
not back him up in his latest case
that of freeing, all American politicaj
suspects now m
geons, or at least securing them
speedy civil trial such as they an
entitled to
The case of Dr. Ruiz, it ii
claimed, brought this up. Gen. Lee]
investigated the so called suicide re?
port and thought it fishy He cabled
his suspicions to Olney and was told
to* investigate. Then he demanded
of the Spaniards that the body be
disinterred and a post mortem bc had.
This they refused. Olney upheld Lee
and finally it was conceded by the
Spaniards The post mortem was
held yesterday While it revealed
no actual trace? of foul play, yet Lee
decided that his information was such
as to almost prove it. It is reported
that be and Spanish officials had
6harp words on the subject. Lee
than cabled Olney that the adminis?
tration must uphold him in his de?
mand for the instant release of all
Americans unjustly imprisoned as
political suspects or given a speedy
civil trial, this demand to be enforced
with the presence of American war?
ships. If not, then he would resign.
It is stated that the demand made a
sensation in Washington
Lower Tobacco Rates.
Some time ago the Railroad Commis?
sion took up with the diff?rent railroads
traversing the State the matter of the
equalization of the rates on tobacco, or,
in other words, the placing of rates on
the same basis with those accorded the
tobacco raising States
South Carolina having of late come
into some prominence through its efforts
io cultivation of tobacco, the cern mis?
sion suggested to the raiiroads that the
rate equalization could be effected with?
out recourse to arbitary measures beiDg
taken, and all the roads assented to this
proposition with demur.
The Atlantic Coast Line is the first
toad, however, to send in a revised tariff
of rat(8 of freight on leaf tobacco
prized (released) io hogsheads and
tierces. This tariff was received by
the commission yesterday, and the re?
duction made may be readily seen
wheo it is stated that the rate on a
five mile or under haul, which was for
mely 12 cents per hundred pouods, is
now placed at 7 C20ts, with rates io the
same ratio of reduction for longer
hauls.
A-sensation bas been created in Vi?
enna by a young Bohemian physician,
Dr. Cukula. who cures short-sighted?
ness by means of a simple operation.
The university authorities approve of
his . method, but refused his
application for a professorship, on
the ground that be is not properly
qualified theoretically.
