SOOTH CAROLINA ?T IVORY CITY.
People From all Over the State
See the Exposition-Praise for
Charleston.
Charleston, March 20.-Today was a
great day at The Exposition. It was
South Carolina Day and vistors from
ali parts of the State were in attend?
ance. The day was perfect in every
respect and the beauties of the great
show were enjoyed to the fullest
extent.
Today marks the turning point in
the attendance of The Exposition, for
it is believed that from now on the at?
tendance will increase from day today
until the end of the .show. Visitors
began to assemble at the grounds early
this morning and by noon the build?
ings and grounds were crowded with
people who were out to have a good
time. The midway was lively all the
morning and this afternoon it was ex?
ceptionally merry. All of the shows
were running and the spielers did
their duty on the outside of the doors.
The.trains over the Southern and
the Atlantic Coast Line brought in
large crowds of visitors from the up?
country. Travel was so heavy that
extra coaches were attached to the
trains and even then it was difficult
for the passengers to ?nd seats, so
crowded were the cars.
The exercises did not begin until
after 12 o'clock, as there was a misun?
derstanding as to the details of the
program. The committe on reception
went to The Exposition grounds to
receive Gov. MScweeney, while, on
the other hand, the Governor remain?
ed at the Argyle expecting the com?
mittee to call on him, as he was not
informed as to the ar.angements.
After waiting for a long time he and
Mr. Thomas Wilson went up to the
grounds in a street car.
The exercises were held on the steps
of the State building. Several pieces
of the Indian Band was brought into
service to attract a crowd. The visi?
tors were scattered about the grounds
and throughout the buildings and they
never would have been gotten togeth?
er but for the band, which rendered
several selections in front of the State
building.
After several hundred people had
collected Mr. J. C. Hemphill an?
nounced that today was South Caro?
lina Day and that several speeches
would be made in honor of the day.
He introduced President Wagener,
who he said, was the only man in
Charleston who had a pocketbook
large enough and sufficient backbone
to make The Exposition a success.
Capt. Wagoner arose and was receiv?
ed with great applause. He spoke
briefly and extended ? cordial welcome
to the visitors, which, he said, was
not only a Charleston enterprise, but
an enterprise of the entire
State, for had. it not been for
the assistance received from the State ;
and the counties so well represented it ;
would have not been a success. He
nrged the visitors to. view all of the
exhibits and when they had done so
he said he felt satisfied that they j
would feel well repaid for the trip to
Charleston and the visit "to "The Ex?
position.
Mayor Pro Tem James R. Johnson
was next introduced, who, in the ab?
sence of Mayor Smyth, who was pre?
sented from being present on account j
of sickness, welcomed the visitors to
the city of Charletson.
Hon. Charles H. Simonton, Judge
of the United States Circuit Court,
introduced Gov. Miles B. McSweeney.
He referred to him as Governor of all
the State and the Governor of all the
the people.
At the conclusion of Governor Mc?
sweeney's address, Senator Appelt of
Clarendon in a few pleasant remarks
introduced Mr. J. B. Cleveland, o
Spartanburg, one of the State com?
missioners, who responded in a short
but splendid address.
Gov. McSweeney announced the
counties that won the prizes. Spar
tanb?nrg first, $L000; Chester second,
S50CT; Darlington and Georgetown tied
for third. This concluded the exer?
cises and the visitors dispersed.

The State as a Money Lender.
Columbia, March 18.-The State is
getting to be something of a banker.
Each year considerable money is loan?
ed to various counties on the credit of
the tax collections. The following
counties have borrowed money since
the first of the year :
York, $10,000: Bamberg, $3,350:
Clarendon, $3,500: Kershaw, $5,000:
Dorchester, $4,530: Marion, $5.770:
Hampton, $5,030: Williamsburg, $500;
Sumter, $8,800: Darlington, 86,900.
This makes a total of $57,880.
The sinking fund commission expects
to loan considerable more money to
the various counties. The State "gets
5 per cent from the ' counties for the
money that it loans them.
The State would have more money
to loan the counties, but during the
last year it invested much of the
money intended to retire State bonds
in the bonds themselves. The State
now holds $113,012 worth of State
bonds. This is at the face valuation.
All of these bonds except $35,000 were
bought during the past year. The
sinking fund commission bought the
bonds at such a reasonable price that
it felt that it could well afford to buy
the bonds rather than hold the money
or loan it spasmodically. The bonds
were bought at prices ranging from
114 to 117, dependent largely upon the
time the interest was collected.

"DAMNED UAR" III PARLIAMENT.
Dillon, the Irish Leader, Applies
the Epithet to Joseph Cham?
berlain.
BUT NO FIGHT FOLLOWED.
London, March 20.-One of the live?
liest scenes witnessed in the house of
commons since the palmiest days of
the Irish Nationalists, ended this
afternoon with the suspension of John
Dillon. During the discussion of the
South African affairs, the Liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man, vigorously protested against the
government's conduct in uttering
" malignant slanders" in calling the
Liberals "pro-Boers." These sland?
er, Sir Henry said, were used for
party purposes. The government
which had been going from blunder
to blunder, claimed immunity from
criticism, and if this continued it
would follow "the precedent of the
evil days of the American war." The
speaker proceeded to give a bitter, de?
railed crciticism of the government's
treatment of the Boers and its miscal?
culations, declaring that the honor and
interests of the country were just as
dear to the Liberals as to the most
supercilious defender of the govern?
ment's policy, and the Liberals would
continue to protest in the name of
the righteous and generous traditions
of the nation against the methods of
the government.
The colonial secretary, Mr. Chamber?
lain, in the course of an equally incis?
ive reply said he desired to deliberate?
ly accuse Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man of losing no opportunity for slan?
dering his countrymen, the soldiers
and the government. Consequently
the "malignant slanders" had come
from the opposition side.
The speaker. Sir William Gully, here
intervened and declared that the term
"malignant slander" was unparlia?
mentary. Both Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and Mr; Chamberlain
thereupon withdrew the words amid
cheers. Mr. Chamberlain, proceed?
ing, referred to the Boers who are
fighting on the British side, when
John Dillon (Irish Nationalist) inter?
jected, "they are traitors," on which
Mr. Chamberlain retorted : "The hon?
orable gentleman is a . good judge of
traitors."
A scene of great confusion ensued.
When order was partially restored Mr.
Dillon demanded a ruling on Mr.
Chamberlain's words.
The speaker said :
"An honorable member spoke of sol?
diers serving under the British flag: as
traitors. I deprecated the interrup?
tion and I deprecated the retort of the
other member."
Mr. Dillon then said: "I will tell
the right honorable member that he is
a damned i lar."
A dead silence followed this remark.
Such unparliamentary language seem?
ed to stun the house.
The speaker invited Mr. Dillon to
withdraw the expression, but the lat?
ter said: "I will not withdraw."
"Then I must name you," said the
speaker.
"The government leader, A. J. Bal?
four, then said :
"I beg to move that Mr. Dillon be
suspended from service in the house."
The motion was carried by 248 to
4S votes.
Mr. Dillon immediately, by direction
of the speaker, left the house, amid
wild Nationalist cheers, and Mr.
Chamberlain resumed his speech.
Mr. Dillon's suspension, under the
present rules, cannot exceed a week.
His offense would have been more
severely dealt with if the rules had
been in force.
The ejection of Mr. Dillon did not
serve to clear the atmosphere, and
the remainder of the debate was filled
with personal allusions and unpleasant
charges, the nature of which would
have excited comment had| they not
been discounted by the first explosion.
Mr. Brodrick and Mr. Chamberlain,
during the discussion, showed them?
selves to be very hopeful for the posi?
tion of affairs in Souh Africa. Mr.
Chamberlain estimated there were still
9,000 fighting Boers in the field.
This optimism is rather offset by the
fact that the government has again
telegraphed Australia, inviting that
commonwealth to send 2,000 more
I men to South Africa.

Atlanta is agitating a movement
looking to the establishment of an
asylum for inebriates. It would be
eminently fitting if South Carolina
would take up this idea and make the
inebriate asylum inseparable from the
dispensary. As matters stand, our law?
makers are giving us a bluff about
using dispensary profits for educational
purposes, while at the same time they
are taxing us directly for the mainten?
ance of jails, poor houses and insane
asylums. If the dispensary profits
should be diverted tr these institutions,
where they belong, the situation pre?
sented would afford less confusion
than it now affords and the taxpayers
would be in better position to deter?
mine where they are really at".-York

GEN. MILES IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
?
Says He Will Resign if Hawley
Bill Becomes a Law.
Washington, March 20.-Gen. Nel?
son A. Miles today told the senate
committee on military affairs that if
the bill introduced by Senator Hawley
at the instance of the war department
for the organization of a general staff
for the army should become a law he
would decline to longer hold his com?
mission. The reason he gave for the
statement is that the bil! is utterly sub?
versive of the interests of the mili?
tary establishment, and he said that
he would not be a party to such a pro?
ceeding to the extent even of continu?
ing to hold his place.
The statement was made in the
course of a prolonged hearng by the
committee which was conducted behind
closed doors, and in which Gen. Miles
touched upon a variety of subjets con?
nected with the army. The portion of
the bill to which he directed his es?
pecial criticism is that contained in
section 7, reading as follows:
"That from and after the passage of
this act the senior general officer of
the army shall be assigned to command
such portion of the army as the presi?
dent may direct, or be detailed to duty
in the general staff corps. All duties
prescribed by law for the commanding
general of the army shall be performed
by the chief of general staff or other
general officer designated by the secre?
tary of war. Provided, that so long
as the present lieutenant general of
the army continues/ on the active list
?0' shall be the chief of the general
staff, and upon the separation from
active service of the said lieutenant
general of the army, said office, except
as herein provided, shall cease and
determine."
Gen. Miles said that if this provis?
ion should become a law it would have
the effect o? destroying the unity of
the army and he read numerous au?
thorities, including Napoleon, Wel?
lington, Washington, Cass and Grant
to show the necessity of having one
head to the army and of controlling
authority. His own experience and
observation had, he said, had the
effect of confirming these views and
he gave an illustration of its beneficial
effect in time of emergency, instancing
the beginning of the- war with Spain.
"I heard at midnight," he said,
"that the Spanish fleet had been
located definitely at Santiago, and I
hastened to the home of Secretary
Long, where the news was confirmed.
Shaffer was then at Tampa, and I sat
down there, in the secretary's house
and wrote a dispatch, directing him
to start immediately for Santiago, with
foe result that the army was soon on
its way to the point where its pres?
ence was needed. Suppose," he added,
exhibiting the message which he had
sent to Gen. Sh?fter, "I had been
compelled to get around to a dozen or
more majors, as many colonels and any
number of generals constituting a gen?
eral staff. ' '
Then he added that in all probability
the senior general of the army would
not under the provision he had quoted
have been in position to do anything,
and he called attention to the clause
relieving him (the senior general) of
command and making it possible for
any other officer to be appointed. He
declared that under section 7 it would
be competent to one day promote a
captain to the position of a brigadier
and the next day to make him chief
of staff, thus practically placing a
captain at the head of the army.
Warming up somewhat he asserted
that the bill was calculated to accom?
plish no purpose except to allow the
secretary of war and the adjutant gen?
eral to promote the interest of their
personal favorities.
Gen. Miles was questioned as to the
reasons for locating the American army I
of occupation at Tampa and holding it
there so long with the resulting con?
gestion. Replying to the first question, 1
he said that it was because of the or- j
der to occupy Habana. The delay was
due, hp said, to the fact that the
American army was supplied with
only 64 rounds of ammunition which
would not have been sufficient for
more than half an hour of fighting.
Considering that Habana was one of
the best fortified cities in the world,
he said that to have attacked it would
have been foolhardy in the extreme.
He declined, however, to criticise
the then secretary of war, Gen. Alger,
for the condition of affairs, saying that
probably any one else in the position
would have done about what he did.
He laid the general blame for this
condition of unpreparedness at the
door of congress.
In the course of his remarks Gen.
Miles told the committee in confidence
that with the bill a law he could now
name the men who would hold the
places of honor provided under it, but
the committee did not ask for the
names.

THE PRESIDENT IS A MAN.
His Office is Sacred, But His
Personality is Not.
Washington, March 19.-During the
entire session of the Senate today the
bill providing for the protection of the
President of the United ; States was
under consideration. Senator Spoon?
er, of Wisconsin, made an extended
argument in support of the measure.
He contended that the Government-had
an absolute and inherent right to pro?
tect itselfjfrom assaults made either
upon itself or upon any of its officers.
He maintained that an assault upon
the President was, in the very nature
of things, an assault upon the Govern?
ment, for there never was a time when
the President was not in the exercise
of the duties of his office. His argu?
ment was largely legal and constitution?
al, but throughout was forceful and
entertaining and instructive.
Senator Hoar, in charge of the
measure, elucidated some arguments
he had made previously, and Senator
Teller, of Colorado, and Senator
Bailey, of Texas, spoke briefly upon
the bill. The Texas Senator said he
could not support the measure as it
stands, because he could conceive of an
assault made upon the President as a
person and no t as an official of the
Government. The assailant, in that
event, ought to be punished precisely
as if he had assaulted any other
citizen.
. Replying to Senator Bacon, of Geor?
gia, who spoke yesterday,. Senator
Spooner declared that if Senator
Bacon's argument was crystallized into
law ' ' this would be an impotent Gov?
ernment, unable to protect itself
against obvious crimes, endangering
our institutions and obstructing the
operations of the Government." A
elgitimate conclusion from the Sena?
tor's argument, he said, would be
'1 that this is the weakest Government
under the sky. It is not. " It was an
evident right of the Government of the
United States to protect its own offi?
cials from assault or assassination
while engaged in the discharge of the
governmental duties. "If the faction
is a Federal one," he declared, "if it
involves the safety or the sovereignty
of the Government, there are no State
lines."
He asserted that there was no time
when the President of the United
States was not engaged in the perform?
ance of his official duties. He could
perform his duties and exercise his
powers anywhere, day or night. An
assault upon him, therefore, was an
assault upon the Government.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, object?
ed to the provision giving to the Pres?
ident a military guard, and suggested
that the guard about him should be
from the civil department of the Gov?
ernment.
Senator Bailey, of Texas., main?
tained that the Government had ample
authority to protect its officals in the
performance of their duties, but he
doubted its authority to punish a man
who should assault or kill any Gov
enment official merely as a person.
The demand of the people was that
the Government should lay its heavy
hand upon the Anarchist. He was in
accord with that demand and would
hound the Anarchist from one section
to another until he. had no resting
place ; but he warned the Senators not
to make Anarchists of themeslves in
the effort to protect the President
against anarchy. He could not sup?
port the measure as it stood.
Directly in line with the suggestion
contained in .Senator Bailey's remarks,
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, introduced
a bill for the deportation and exclusion
of alien Anarchists. It was the bill,
be said, which, introduced by former
Senator Hill, of New York, had been
passed by the Senate, but had failed in
the House. He offered it as a sugges?
tion to the judiciary committee. Per?
sonally he was in favor of the "most
extreme legislation that can be devis?
ed and justified for the accomplish?
ment of the purposes stated."

James Bowden was arraigned on the
charge of disposing of property under
a lien. The case is a unique ene and
raises a question entirely new here.
His attorney demurred to the indict?
ment, contending that the Act under
whicn his client was held was uncon?
stitutional. The demurrer was over?
ruled and, upon motion of the solici?
tor, the Court at once sentenced the
prisoner. This he in person objected,
demanding a trial by jury. Judge
Buchanan refused this right, holding
that having demurred the defendant
admitted the truth of the charge as
contained in the indictment, and that
was, in effect, the same as entering a
plea of guilty. While there is some
diversity of opinion among the law?
yers, yet most of them hold that noth?
ing short of an actual plea of guilty
can deprive a man of the constitution?
al right of having his case submitted
to a jury. The cause will be carried

At the first annual meeting of the
trustees of the Carnegie fund of $10,
000,000 given for education in the

ed that out of six thousand applica?
tions for grants from the fund a large
percentage had been disallowed, but
nearly twenty-five hundred students
had received assistance at a total out?
lay of about $110,000 for the winter
session of 1901-'02. Conditions may
change later, but that expenditure
repesents not a great deal more than 1
per cent on the principal. At that
rate the fund would go on steadily be?
