Tillman OD the Situation. What He Thinks of Keed. A. . Nothing Will Be Done for the Cubans by Republicans. From the State, March 14. Having attended the meeting of the board of trastees of Clemson college aaa adjusted things to bis satisfaction at that institution, Senator Tillman paid a flying visit to hts home at Tren? ton and yesterday afternoon passed throagboat the city on route to Wash ingtoc. He spent two or three boars in ike city. He is now keeping boase in Washington at the corner ofv|7tb and R streets and was in first-class con? dition and humor wheo seen yesterday afternoon. Wheo asked how long be thought tbe extra session of congress would last Senator Tillman leaned back in bis $bmtr and exclaimed : "Well, it's problematical as to how long the Bes? sie a will contioue;it all depends on iba Republicans in tbe house and whether Reed appointa the standing committees or not." Then he added tfithsoaie vigor : "This is the first tia!? tn the history of tbis government that any speaker bas made the attempt to withhold his committees and say whether there shall be general legisla HOD or not. Reed's action is resented by the Democratic senators and won't be tolerated. We Democratic senators have a right to talk and we can draw the session oat to October if we make up our minds to do it. It's no use to tamper with Reed. Reed has been making himself obnoxious any way by hanging op just claims that have passed the senate. We are simply tired of one man power in the other end of the capitol. The members of the bouse have been coming to us acd appealing to tis. We passed the Newberry eibl? lege claim twice ; Reed held it up both times and would not let a vote be tau SD Then 1 got it on tbe deficieucy bill The iioase, under Reed's manipulation, ?nay try to control the course of legisla? tion." . When; be was asked about the gee? bera! outlook under the new administra? tion be said: "Nobody expects any improvement tn the condition of the country. The Republicans make - claims, bat they have no faith in them." As to Coba be said: "My judg? ment is that Sherman and McKinley are as mach auder the direction of Wall street as Cleveland. There may be mere protection for ?merioao citizens, but as for Coba itself I dont't antici? pate any official action." Looking to the financial and political future of tbe United States, Senator Tillman thought for a while and then said: "I believe that conversions from the gold bug to the Bryan idea are go? ing oo every day now The attitude I of tbe Republicans themselves in trying to push the international conference on bimetallism shows that they are uneasy. Tbeyt wish to say *We tried to carry out our platform.* I won't be surprised to see them talk free silver io two years' time. Their only trouble and drawback is that they arc so dominated by capitalists that in doing so their party will disintegrate I look upon it sis a certainty that we will elect a Damoeratic Presideot in four years. The only thing that can defeat us will bea change of front. Ail we have to do is to stand by the Chicago platform ; stand to its every plaok. All the an? archy and so on in it is the very essence of Dearocracy." Chief Constable Bahr bas ordered tbe hotel dispensaries to close at 6 o'clock. The Columbia Ereniog News sus? pended publication on Saturday. An income inadequate to tbe necessities cf the business was tbe prime cause of tbe suspension. * The London Chronicle claims to have authentic information that the powers will commence the blockade of the Cretan and Greek coasts on Wednesday. A Havana dispatch says that 25, 000 troops are to be withdrawn from Coba for service in the Philippines The withdrawal of this number of troops would give the Cabans an ad? vantage that would speedily end the ? war. Hopkinsville, Ky., March 14. Last night at 9 30 o'clock Policeman Tayne was shot and ir itantly killed by Waiter Merritt, a gambler, who was in tara killed by two policemen. Merritt was drinking and had been disorderly and Tayne tried to arrest him Atlanta, March 14.-A special from Macon to the Constitution says tbat Dr. James A. Etheridge died there to-day just as surgeons were about to operate on him. They ex? amined him before he was pisced on the table and they decided that he could take an anaesthetic. Almost at the very instant it was applied he expired. The surgeons were shock? ed, but a postmortem showed that death was caused by paralysis. Dr. Etheridge was a prominent physi? cian. Little Rock, March 14 -Governor Jones bas decided to issue a call for an extra session of the legislature. He said the appropriation bills have not been passed and he bas no funds with which to ron the State govern next two^years. Business of a Week. Dan & Go. Satisfied, But Say the People Are Not New York. March 12 -R G Dan & Co. will say tomorrow in their Weekly Review of Trade : It is a curious illustration of human nature, this continued discourage? ment even while the increase of pro? ductive industries and of legitimate business steadily grows. No gen? uiner lasting improvement could come otherwise than slowly and step after such a depression as the past four years have witnessed, and the most hope Jil feature of the situation is that the gain is so nearly devoid of elements which involve unsoundness and probable reaction. The money markets continue especially favorable to industrial recovery, and there is no such speculative epidemic as to lock up an excessive share of availa? ble capital. Cotton is not active, thought a sixteenth higher, for the curtailment ol' consumption by many mills does not yet -help prices ia the least, nor the suspension of print cloth reports, and dealers so generally hold back orders for other goods that the tone is weak. The speculation in wool continues and sales for the two weeks have been 17,903,900 pounds, whereas the larg est previous sales for tba same period were 12,017,676 pounds in 1892 While there is much trade between dealers, manufacturers show by pur? chasing far beyond i heir present wants the belief that larger business is coming. Iron furnaces March 1st were pro? ducing 169,986 tons weekly, 7.027 tone, or 4 per cent more than Feb 1. and although visible stocks have in creased 30,024 tons in four weeks, still more furnaces have started this month. The demand for finished pro? ducts still lags behind the supply of pig iron, except in the great steel works, whose stocks are not reported but their orders without doubt coyer full production for several months Bessemer pig is a shade lower, but no other change in quotations ap? pears and there is gradualv increase in the demand for plates, sheets and all the wire family of products With the advent of spring weather and outdoor work, much more busi? ness is expected The starting of the Maryland rail works under con? tract with the Carnegie company in order to make shipments by water more cheaply is significant. The volume of business shown by clear? ings is but 1.8 per cent, smaller than last year. Failures for the past week have been 256 in the United States against 300 last year, and 61 in' Canada against 60 last year. Drowned in a Tub. Beautiful little Lena Alberta Ki od, the 16-monthi?-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Artie Kind, was a picture of health when she aro3e yesterday morning. Her soft golden hair flatter? ed io the breeze,, as, clad in ber neat little pinafore, she toddled out into the yard about ll o'clock to play. Little did ber devoted mother, who fondly watched her childish glee as she passed out through the door, dream that a: that very moment the angel of Deaih was hovering near the loved little one Bat such was the case ; io a short U> min?tes the eyes were forevt-r closed upon the world ; the life of the lovely little flower had fled. Soon after the little Lana had gone out her mother asked some one where she was. She could not bc found. She hud disappeared. The mother and others about the house instituted a search, going out into the street and al) over the neighborhood. Finally they returned to the yard and going to the rear, where an ordinary tub was sitting, the mother was horrified to find her little one's body. The tub had beea used for washing on some clothes and some dirty water bad been left therein, to a depth of not more than six inches The child had gone to the tub, and, while bending over the side had lost ber balance, falling headfirst into thc dirty water. When the child was re? moved from the tub, there was no sign of life. The little body was cold and still. Io great baste Dr. Knowlton was summoned and he was quickly on the scene. A hasty examination convinced him that the child was dead, but he did everything known io bis efforts to bring her baok to life all the same. No efforts were of any avail. The mother was almost prostrated by the death of tbe child.-The State. Frazier Tuggle was eliot and fatally wounded by a young man named Dozier in ROCK Hill on Sun? day night There was a $750,000 fire in St. Louis yesterday, several firemen were killed Fifteen men were killed and 21 wounded by the explosion of a gun on board one of the Russian war ves? sels now on duty in Cretan waters. Postmaster General Gary has made an announcement of interest to Demo? cratic postmasters whose terms expire on various dates under the new ad? ministration.

Whole families of the animals are sometimes asphyxiated in their dens. A wolf of the gray variety generally makes its home by getting on the side of a dirt gulch and burrowing-straight inward until a safe distance from the surface is reached. There her young are born and raised tc sturdy cub estate. When a cowboy locates a den in which he believes the entire family to be gathered, a composite mass of cotton, saturated with damp flour sulphur and other noxious smelling substances, is thrust into the den and set on fire. The mouth of the hole is then filled with clay tamped down solidly, and the im? prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated within. In this way from ,6 to 10 and ll wolves, young and old, aro wiped out at one stroke. Another effective method is to boro four or more holes in a flat piece of board and plug them up with beef fat soaked in strychnine. The odor of the fat attracts any wolves that may be in the vicinity, and they lick the fat vora? ciously until the leavening of poison does its work upon them and they drop dead. Very often as many as a dozen wolves are killed off by this process be? fore the fat in the holes is exhausted. Strychnine inclosed in capsules is a ho used. The capsule is thrust into a slit cut in a chunk of beef, and the wolf, bolting the meat whole, falls an easy victim. Steel traps, baited with raw beef, are also tried with fair success. Denver Republican. Chivalrous Mr. Fields. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in her book, "Chapters Trom a Life," pays the fol? lowing tribute to Jame? T. Fields : "Mr. Fields was a man of marked chivalry of nature, and, at a time when it was not fashionable to help the move? ments for the elevation of women, his sympathy was distinct, fearless and faithful. In a few instances, we knew, and he knew, that this fact deprived him of the possession of certain public honors which would otherwise have been offered to him. "He advocated the political advance? ment of our sex, coeducatiou and kin? dred movements without any of that apologetic murmur so common among the half hearted or the timid. Kis fas? tidious and cultivated literary taste was sensitive to the position of women in letters. He was incapable cf that liter? ary snobbishness which undervalues a woman's work because it is a woman's. A certain publishing enterprise which threatened to treat of eminent men came to his notice. He quickly said: 'The time has gone by for that! Men and women! Men and women!' " THE AR YA SAMAJ. It will he cf interest to all earnesl people to knew that our antipodal neigh? bors are thinking cn tho great sut ject o* religion and reaching conclusions thal are in harmony with many of cur own. Below is given tho general beliefs ci the Arva Samaj, a branch of reformed Hindooism: First. -Ged is thc original source o? all true knowledge and of things com? prehensible by it. Second.-Ged is all existence, all in? telligence and all biiss. He is incor? poreal, omnipotent, just, beneficent, unincarnate, infinite, unchangeable, without beginning, incomparable, sus? tainer of all, Lord of all, omnipresent, omniscient, undecaying, immortal, fear? less, eternal, holy and maker of the universe. He alone should be worshiped. Third.-The Vedas are the books o? true knowledge. It is the prime duty o? all Aryas to read and teach them, to hear and preach them. Fourth.-We should always be ready to accept truth and give up untruth. Fifth.-All our actions must conform to Dharma-that is, we should act after a thorough consideration of right and wrong. Sixth. -, he primary object of the Arva i-:::. ..j is TO do good to the world -i. e., to contribute to thc physical, spiritual and social progress of all. Seventh.-Every one should be treat? ed with suitable regard and considera? tion. Eighth.-We should dispel ignorance and advance knowledge. Ninth.-Noone should rest contented with his own welfare, but should seek for it in the welfare of others. Tenth.-In matter i which affect the social well being of all we should not allow our individuality to interfere, but in matters, strictly personal every one may have his own way. Ionia Items. Iooia, S. C , March 15.-We bave a great deal rain io this section Farmers are badly bebind with tbeir work, more so than I have known for several years, and we doo't know when we will Le able to plow agaio, as the weather rs not settled. If we plant corn this year io March, ii will be the last days. Mrs. Mary Smith died yesterday, a?.d was buried this afternoon at Spring Hill. Rev J. C. Rushton preached the funeral to a large congregation. She was about 86 years of age , and has 175 grand children, great and grea-tgreat grand children. She li red all of ber life in the neighborhood ot Spring Hill. I don't suppose that she was ever 50 railc3 from where she wes born, and she was buried io lesa than half a mile of the place of ber birth. She bad 10 children, of whom only foor are liviog, three sons, and one daughter. Mrs. Elizabeth Collins, of Spring Hill, is lying at the point of death. The health of our community is much bet? ter than it bas been. Hope it will r*_ in so, as I tbiok the grippe bas grabbt nearly everybody. Those that didn't have it, thought they did. Yours ?tc. _ _ Dar JIM. Boad8 at Elliotts. Elliotts, S. C , March 13 -The public roads io thia section are in bad condition with boles and washouts such as to cause one to be very careful io driving in order to keep from breaking bis vehicle. The bridges, many of them, have broken planks witb a rall stuck up in road as a danger signal. Tbe road across Lynches River is impassable and bas been so for some time, and those wbo wish to cross at Garters bave to go to Field's or Bisbopville in order to get into Darliog* ton. We think that partiality is indulged in by keeping the chain gang within a few miles of Sumter for months while the citizens of this and the other townships pay their pro? portionate amount of taxes. CITIZEN. ? i -?.? The DesChamps-Bhame Homicide. We think it proper to state that owing to the many rumors which grew ont of the la? mentable killing of Thomas K. Rbame by Ralph S. DesCbamps. there was nothing in the testimony adduced on tbe witness stand which aives the slighrest foundation for scan? dal. The entire testimony from both sides showed DesCbamps to have acted io self de fence against a man whom be bad the kind? est feelings for, but who, unfortunately, must have been crazed by strong drink and did not know what be was doing when be shot at bis friend and guest.-Manning Times. OHIO BIVEB AND CHARLES? TON. Extension Of the Line Prom Blacksbarg to Gaffney. President Samuel Hunt of the Ohio River and Charleston Railway in a letter to the Manufacturers' Record says that work on ibis line from Blackabnrg to Gaffaey, S. C , is to begin in the near future. He adds : "It will make it possible to develop Cherokee Falls water-power, and thus offer opportuni? ties for the location of manufacturing in? dustries with the combined advantages of railroad transportation and water-power.r' While the extension is not many miles in length it will be one of the most important short railroads yet built in tbe South. Tbe water-porer to which Mr. Hunt refers bas been described in the Manufacturers' Record. It is one of the finest in the South, and by the completion of tbs railroad parties in terested in mill projects will have excellent transportation facilities should they build here. Tbe line will start from Blacksburg, a growing town, at the junction of the Ohio River and Charleston and the South? ern railroads, aud extend to Gaffoey City where an extensive cotton mill will originate considerable freight for the new line, and will also develop very large raine properties near Blacksburg -Spartanburg Herald.
