HEW TREATY WITH ENBLAMD. Substitute for Clayton-Buiwer Treaty Will Contain Mutual Concessions and be Neutral. Washington, Oct. 8.-There has been no , surrender by England to t?e United States in" the matter of the new isthmian canal treaty according to the best authority here." It is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no principle in these negotiations and the effect of contrary statements is deprecated as likely seriously to jeopardize the chances of tho consummation of the convention which shall finally and peacefully settle an issue thai; has been a source of danger for the past fiftv years. It is said that what actually has happened is that each side has pre? served the underlying principle of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and" the new convention will provide for a new waterway, neutral at all times and . open to the commerce of the world. The Ciayton-Bulwer treaty, however, drawn half a century ago, has proved to be defective in mechanism for giv? ing effect to this purpose. The new treaty simply provides this mechanism. England is relieved from the guarantee, which,, in her case was only trouble? some, and which, being assumed by the United States in toto, is quite as effective. As viewed from the Ameri? can point of view, there was no sur? render on England's part in seeking this relief, inasmuch as the above mentioned principle is reiterated and affirmed as binding upon the United States. As for the form of the treatv, it may be stated that it embodies in substance, the amendments to the Eay-Pauncefote treay which were adopted by the senate and beyond that, the changes are believed to be textual rather than substantial. GALVESTON UNDER WATER. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 8.-Galveston was visited by the heaviest rainfall in its history today. It began raining last night, but the storm which form? ed off Galveston did not break until early this morning and from 3 a. m., until lp. m., the precipitation was tremendous. For the 14 hours ending at 12.30 p. m. H. 08 inches of water felL From 8 a. m. to 1 p .p m. three inches felL The rain was accompanied by wind which blew 42 miles an hour at IL30 a. m., from the east. The streets were inundated and street car traffic was stopped, ail business being practically suspended. The actual financial damage cannot be estimated at this time, but it is not belived to be heavy. Some of the buildings on the Strand were partially flooded by water backing over the streets. The tide was only two feet above normal and there was no salt water in the streets. The rain was local, extending only along a poration of the Texas coast and inland for 50 or 30 miles v with less intensity. lata Will Not Withdraw. Wasbintgon, Octobers.- Kepresenta ~:tive Latimer, who is an avowed candi date for the Senate to succeed Senator McLaurin, refuses to consider seriously "the magnanimous proposition of State 'Chairman "Wilie Jones, who is also an ?aspirant for Senatorial honors, that all of the candidates withdraw in favor of the "Grand Old Man," Gen. Wade Hampton. There is not a man in South Carolimi, said Mr. Latimer today, "who has greater respect for Gen. Wade Hampton than I have, and I would go as far as any other man to make his declining years comfortable and happy, but I cannot agree with CoL Jones's suggestion to drag Gen. Hampton back into the excitement and turmoil of political life. It's all very 'well for Col. Jones to invoke senti? mental and patriotic motives in behalf of Gen. Hampton. It has a magnani? mous flavor, which may appeal to the sentiment of a number of people who are entirely unacquainted with the actual conditions entering into the Senatorial fight in South Carolina. Col. Jones has an assured position, which pays something over $5.000 a year, and he doubtless realizes that he can hardly make the Senatorship in the pending contest, so in a "burst of sympathy and zeal for Gen. Hampton he proposes that all of the other candidates who have already stripped for the fray, and have commenced their canvass, shall step aside so that Gen. Hampton may be induced to come out of retirement and again take up the trials and re? sponsibilities of politics. I am frank to say that I will net give my con? sent to that proposition ; and I do not believe Gen. Hampton and his best friends sanction the move made by Col. Jones." Says He 'S7as Tortured.. .

Mr. Hemphill has been considered a prominent candidate for the ofice of United States senator now held by Mr. McLaurin, and some curiosity has been manifested as to what would be Mr. Hemphill's atti? tude toward the proposition of Col. Wilie Jones to make Gen. Wade Hampton Senator. Mr. Hemphill expressed the highest admiration for Gen. Hampton, but said he had not-fully determined upon his course, particularly as Mr. Latimer declines to withdraw in favor of Gen. Hampton. Mr. Hemphill stated that his candidacy was not altogether of his own motion, and before giving up the fight he would have to confer with his friends. He had just come from Spartanburg and declares that he has met with encouragement wherever he has been. He seemed to think that whatever he might or might not have done, the action of Mr. Latimer would prevent any further action among the candidates to withdraw in favor of Gen. Hampton.-The State. VALUE OF COTTON SEED. Marion, Oct. 7.-At a meeting of the farmers of Marion county today the follow ing resolutions were adopted : Whereas from reliable reports the cotton crop is unprecedentedly short, and there being an increased demand for cotton seed, and Whereas the price and terms of ex? change fixed by the cotton seed oil trust are below the real value of cot? ton seed, therefore be it Resolved, That it is the judgment of the farmers of Marion county in mass meeting that the seed are worth for manuring to the farmers 25 cents per bushel, or should be exchanged for meal on a basis of 100 bushels of seed for one ton of meal, and we urge the farmers of this county not to sell or exchange at less than the above prices, and we ask the earnest coopera? tion of every cotton grower in the State to this end. A committee consisting of W. A. Brown, B. F. Davis and L. M. Hasel den was appointed to acquaint the farmers of the State through the pub? lic press of the foregoing action and to urge their cooperation. W. A. Brown, B. F. Davis, L. M. Haselden. Martial Law in Africa. Cape Town, Oct. 9.-The Gazette today proclaims martial law in the districts of Cape Town, Wynberg, Simontown, Port Elizabeth and East London. The proclamation is the outcome of the recent visit of the premier of Cape Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, and the under secretary of native affairs in South Africa, J. Rose Innes, to the British high commissioner, Lord Milner. It places under military con? trol the few points in Cape Colony hitherto exempted and the constitution therefore, is now suspended over the entire colony. The action taken prob? ably foreshadows the commencement of vigorous measures which those on the spot are understood to believe neces? sary to end the war. Martial law will be modified in it? application to the ports, by leaving the docks, railroads and harbors under the control of the civil .authorities. Mili? tary rule will be mitigated in some Dther respects. Miss Stone's Captors. Constantinople, Oct 9.-A trust? worthy report locates Miss Stone's ibductors on the summit of a motm ain at Gultepe, on the Turko-Bulga- \< .ian frontier, near Dubnitza. It is sa?c? ;hat the kidnapping band numbera* ?ighteen. Arrangements have been nade to surround the mountain with turkish and Bulgarian troops. It ha? >een suggested that the abductors ?sf Kliss Stone are members of the old dacedonian committee, actuated by notives of jealousy, and that they are ndeavoring to accomplish the down all of the present committee. The bulgarian government bas promised o act vigorously. 5 A Healthy Sigo. The intention of the? leaders in t?e roposed reorganization of the Alie? nee have not been accepted in goedl ai th by the public at large, because j t is generally believed that the scheme ? one to boost the political interests f certain -parties. At a meeting of the Sumter county dliance last week resolutions ware lassed calling upon Messrs. Wilbozn, Cfird and Elder, the chief organisers o pledge themselves not to run far >fSce. Mr. Wiiborn is quoted as aughing at the proposition and be? laring that he will again ron to suc :eed himself as railroad commissioner. Chis is his natural right, but as one >? the organizers whose expenses are >aid in building up the Alliance he las a splended opportunity to help dong his own canvass. We don't say bat he is doing so, but only refer to ;he chance he has. Mr. Efird, president of the Alliance, s generally credited with having some ? ispirations to succeed Secretary of jj State Cooper, but he recently denied / ;hat his activity in Alliance reorgan zation was prompted by any desire to :urther his own political eaids. Mr. Elder is from York and is. a nember of the legislature, but wheth? er he has any higher political aspira? tion we do not know. But it is a healthy sign that the rank and file of the Alliance want the order to be a | business organization, and nat one j wherein and whereby certain men may rise to political power-Columbia Record. Suing for Rich Oil Reids. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 9.-W. A. Humphreys of Waco, Tex., Marcus and T. M. Humphreys of Anniston and their relatives, have begun suit for the possession of oil fields at Beau? mont, Tex., upon which are situated fourteen wells. In the suit that has been brought against the capitalists now controlling the property, it is claimed by the prosecution that when the oil fever struck Texas Capt. C. M. Lucas, J. M. McFadden and twenty-three others took posesssion of 5,750 acres of oil land south of Beaumont. The value of the land is said to $25,000,000. This property according to the heirs, rightfully belongs to the Humphreys estate and suit is entered against the capitalists for $25,000 per year from each defendant for trespass upon the land besides 85 cents per barrel on 5,000,000 barrels of oil shipped out of the State. Bogus Oil Companies. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 9.-The State of Texas is starting prosecutions against fraudulent oil companies. More than 100 companies of that class sold mil? lions of dollars of worthless stock dur? ing the early stages of the Beaumont boom. The suits will bo tried at Aus? tin, where the Travis county grand jury is now investigating. ---fr- >*?^4iV.
