At the boor of taking recess, the
election of a eade commissioner was io
progress.
Daring the balloting for State
librarian there waa some confusion io
the bsck of the' bail,. and Lient Gov
Tillman ordered that the door be
elosed.
After lae balfott bad been taken,
there were members in the lobby who
wanted to get in to vote oo tbs next
ballot. Mr Moses called the a;;ention
of the chair to the fact that the
doorkeeper had the door still looked,
although oo ballot was in progress.
I Mr Tillmaa ruled that the door
should be kept locked dnriog a ballot.
Mr Moses said that the mles of the
joint assembly would not sustain this
ruling.
Mr Tillman-I would suggest to the
gentleman from Sumter that he st&dy
the rules.
Mr Moses later stated that he had
been a member of the geoeral assembly
for 15 years and had never heard of
such a ruling. The rules of the joiot
assembly did eot-uphold the presiding
officer, he declared.
The incident was not taken very
seriously, as eo issue was at stake, and
thc vote was oot at any time close
enough to be exciting.
At the evening joint session the
election for cods commissioner was
concluded. Mr V?. H. Townsend, cf
Barnwell, was elected. The other
candidates were : G P Logan, of

THE HO?8E.
The house of repr?sentatives took
important action on the division of
profits accruing from the sale of liquor.
The outcome of this may be that those

Wien the dispensary Uw wat given

! waa-taken io this direction when it ww

CHINESE SITUATION.
Pekin, 8a!nrd8y, Jan 19?, delayed
in transmission -Prince Ching says
be considers tbe Chinese requests
reasonable and feels sore that tbe
United States will agree to them as
well as most of the other nations
"The question of indemnity," says
Prince Ching, "bas two sides Some
of the allies bave conducted warfare
in a fashion unparalleled in the bis
tory of civilization Chinese mer?
chants and private citizens assert
that valoables have been looted
amounting to immense sums ; and it
would not be fair to fail to take these
largely into consideration when the
question of indemnities is discussed
"Tien Tsin, Pekin and all the
cities and towns between have been
absolutely stripped, while priceless
treasures belonging to private idivid
oals have been confiscated, irrespect
ive of all ideas of modern warfare
I feel confident that the good feeling
of allies will make a doe allowance,
and I look forward to getting a satis?

foreign envoys Monday (January

Republicans Cannot Agree on
Reduction of War Taxes.
: Washington J?o 24.-Tb?re ts very
grave doobt in regard to the passage of
(be war tax redaction bill at toit? session
ol coo g reba. The bill drawn bj tbe
boose differs radically from, thai dravo
by (be senate, abott tbe ooLy point of
resemblance between tb?m being tbe
faet that eaoh reduces the reveooe by
aboot |40,000,000, whereas Secretary
Gage asserts that tbe government cao-.
sot afford to restrict its iooome by more
than $30,000,000 Sinee boto, booses
persist in oodereottiog thia to the
extent of aboot J10;0.0?,$00, it ts be?
lieved that the administration woold
not regret to see tbe whole matter go
over till next session. Certainly, the
behaviour of certain senators weald
give one this impression.
M oreo vi r, if congress ooo tin oes to
nile ap the appropriations as it is doiug
eveo $30,000, redaction will be too
tri nob. it is estimated that $750,000,
000 will be expended at this session.
Over $720,000,000 were expeoded at
tbe last one, making the total nearly a
billioo and a bali The river aod har?
bor appropriation bill provides for an
expenditure of $60,000,000 ; the naval
bill is equally extravagant, and the
advocates of the ship subsidy bill insist
that the government shall give to the
beneficiaries of their scheme a sam
estimated at $9,000,000 a year for a
long torm of years. Instead of re?
trenchment and tax redaction the ten?
dency seems to be toward extravagance
and the perpetuation of excessive war
taxes.
The advocates of "lib?ral appropria?
tions" contend that the oonotry bas
passed beyond the stage of moderate
expenditures, even in the piping times
of peace, and that government disburse?
meats keep pace with tbe growth of
populaci?n The argument of those
who attempted to defend the extrava?
gance of the first "billion dollar con
gross" was, in substance, that ''this is
a biliiou dollar countryV There is
sinai! c >oofort io such ressonin? for
p:rson9 of limited meaos, ?o whom
increased taxation represents some de
gree of deprivation.
For instance, the war tax cf 10 cents
a pcund on tea, an article which cvsry
bod) use?, is estimated by the treasury
ro be about 80 per cent on the impon
value. How muon satisfaction does ir
afford the poor mao who bas to pay
this to be told, cn tho authority ot
Senator Frye, that if be wi 1 coniica:
ro bear thc burden meekly provi.-ion
xiii b? made io subsidize American
?'iirs so that one great company, at
leas:, will bo able to pay ita siocl'hold
ors S'S per cent, dividend. The OJ an
who rn-: . pay 35 cecta z pound for an

Tbe republicano r.:e determined to

seasioo, th? republicans will fcc io \i

bilis ci?o fail?, and an extra session

Then congress bas met-to appropriate

Thus tba president will bo freed from

and yet the ship otveer will be benefit

So everything wili bc lovely and the
taxpayers will have :o shell out.
Meanwhile thc treasury bureau cf
e . a ; ? ? t ; os is congratulating the cocotry
that American exports have increased
from ?857.502,548 in 1890 to ?1,478,
050,584 in 1900. This is a fine shew?
