Renders Decision fieeianriiag the Fertilizer "Trost" Caseto State Court. ?; Special to The State. Charleston, July 29.?In the United States circuit court today Judge Si monton handed down his decision in the case of the State of South Caro lina against the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company, granting the mo tion of plaintiff for the remand of the case tc the State court The decision is a victory for Attor ney General Bellinger. It will be re called that several months ago Attor ney Generyal Bellinger brought action against the VirigniarCarolina Chemi cal company, in the Eichland county court, under the anti-trust act, alleg ing that the company was purchasing and acquiring a monopoly of the ferti lizer industry, contrary to law. The attorney for the company mov ed before Judge Buchanan for a trans fer of the suit to the federal court, alleging the act' to be in derogation of the constitution of the United States. ) The judge refused the motion, but the attorneys secured copies of the pro ceediings and filed them in the circuit court and later Judge Simon ton heard the argument on the motion of Attor eny General Bellinger for the remand. Judge Simonton' s decisi on is lengthy, containing many, law citations. The court notes that accompanying the rec ords, there is no order of the State court, removing the suit. "But from admissions," continues the court, "made at the bar and from the whole tenor of the arguments, it appears that the absence of the order, removing: the cause, was not based upon the insuffi ciency of the bond, but upon the legal ground that the case made by the plaintiff does not raise the federal question on which alone this .-court can take jurisdiction. The queston involved in this discussion is grave and beset -with difficulty. The State has the right to have the case brought by her,' tried in her own courts, unless the constitution of the United States has secured to the de . fendant the right of protection in the federal court." Judge Simonton ruled that the fede ral question did nob appear on the face of the record, and he was bound to go by the record and ?emand the case to the State courts. The decision shows that the act of the legislature contain ed no mention Of the constitution of the United States, and no rights, claims, privileges and immunity of federal statutes which would bring the act into any relation or conflict with the. federal law. The court states, however, that a federal ques tion might be raised hereafter in the State courts, and in such an event a direct appeal c$n be taken to the United States supreme court from the State supreme court. To McLaann's Credit. Senator McLaurin's refusal to ac cept from 'the President an 'appoint ment to the vacancy on the bench of the Court of Claims?a life position with a good salary, little work and much dignity?will raise him greatly in the opinion of the people. His ac ceptance might have led to the accusa tion by his enemies that he had desert ed his party for personal gain ; the best refutation to such a charge was to decline the proffered honor, and this he has done. The course pursued by Senator McLaurin has been a nota ble one. A man of undoubted ability and fearless independence, he has fol lowed a line of policy in his voting that was more thoroughly conservative of the publie interests than that fol lowed by any other member on the I>eiaocratic side.

FUTURE OF SOOTH AFRICA. Notable Speech of Mr. Chamber lain in Parliament. London, July 29.?Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain appeared in the house of commons this afternoon for the first time since his recent acci dent He was greeted with hearty Lcheers and later he was warmly con gratulated by Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, Liberal leader in the house. Mr. Chamberlain's appearance was marked by a speech which won the ap plause even of such opponents as Henry Labouchere. Mr. Camberlain dealt com prehensively with the past and future of South Africa. * "We have no intention," he said, "that the* Boers should break with their old traditions. We desire that . they should preserve all the best char acteristics of their race, and hope they will shake hands with us, thus secur ing prosperity in South Africa under the flag which protects different races and different religions.'? That sentiment was the keynote of the speech. ! Dealing with the much-discussed la bor question, Mr. Chamberlain said he believed every inducement to labor should be held out to the blacks, but no scheme ofcompulsory labor should receive the slightest Government sup port There was no intimation of packing the country with Britishers, but so much Transvaal land was lying idle that the colonies could only be made a great corn producing factor by -bringing in British settlers. EMBEZZLERS B1SSCRGE. Result of the Efforts of Ambas sador Clayton in Mexico. "Washington, July 29.?United States Ambassador Clayton, at Mexico, has succeeded in securing restitution in one of the largest embezzlement cases I before the Mexican State department Some time ago James Brown Potter, ! representing large American and Eng lish interests in the Tlahauliio Mining .Company, of Mexico, appealed to the State department for justice., claiming that by a fraudulent conspiracy some of the directors of the company had embezzled funds to the amount of over $2,000,000. This, it was charged, was accomplished by packed elections and the bestowal of illegal powers upon one of the directors in the company. The fact that some inferior Mexican offi cials were inolved in the. conspiracy made it almost impossible to obtain justice, by the ordinary methods. The State department referred the case to Ambassador Clayton' and he brought it to the attention of . the Mex ican Government and pressed it so vigorously that he is now able to re port that the conspirators have been obliged to disgorge all of the money and secrities they had obtained by their fradulent operations. GLEMSON'S PRESIDENCY. No One Prominently Mentioned Says Senator Tillman.

He said that the board would have hard work in picking out and getting the right sort of man, but that when the board met at Clemson at the 5th of A.ugust?not the 11th? the best possible selection would ber made. ?Columbia Record, July 29. A Mathematical Problem. At a lecture at the Royal Institution on the fascinating subject of ' ' Magic Squares" Major P. A. McMahon, F. F.. S., reminded his audience of the existence of a curious problem which, despite its apparent simplicity, has never yet been solved. He commend ed it to the attention of any one pres ent who desired to exercise his ingen uity and patience. The problem is as follows : There are thirty-six officers of six different ranks and drawn from six different regiments, and it is required to ar range them in a square of thirty-six compartments, so that in each row as well as in each column there appears an officer from each regiment. Euler's "Reherhes Sur une Nouvelle Espece de Quarres Magiques," which appeared in 1782, disusses this prob lem, but gives no solution, and the late Professor Cayley, writing more than a century afterwards, confessed that it was beyond his powers. Major MacMahon, who has added so much to our knowledge of the theory of groups a fascinating branch of mathemastic which has an important bearing on many branches of physi cal science?has not yet found a key to the mystery. Whoever can solve this problem or prove that it cannot be solved will achieve immortality on the lips of mathematicians ' and perhaps open a door into a new realm of the scientific wonderland which is called pure mathematics.?London Post.

An Editorai Statement "Partly Personal, Partly Public." In the York vi lie Enquirer of July 30 we find a full report of the cam paign speeches in that town on Fri day last. This report covers in detail the utteranes of James H. Tillman, candidate for governor, of which we had not before been cognizant. 2 We regret the expediency of noticing anything this blackguard may say about the editor of The State, and shall pass over in silence the nasty ex pressions with which he has endeavor ed to parry the plain facts of his pub lic record published in this newspa per; but on public as well as private grounds we cannot permit him to go through South Carolina trying to build up a badly needed reputation for courage by spreading flagrant false hoods about the editor of this newspa per. We quote two paragraphs from The, Enquirer's report: "I do not propose to be drawn into any hatched-up difficulty by a Ransy Sniifies whose headquarters are in Columbia. He attempts to put others in a position to do things which he himself is not man enough to do. * * * " But this Cuban pony knows me. He has not forgotten a certain circum stance in 1890, when because Senator Tillman's hands were tied I extended to him a cordial invitation to go to Georgia with me. The invitation was declined with thanks." The cunning of the fellow is shown by his attempt to make it appear that in 1890 he challenged the editor of The State to go to Georgia to fight a . duel " because Senator Tillman's hands were tied, "thus commending himself to the ^admiration and gratitude of his uncle's old adherents. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We present below a brief statement of facts cover ing this incident and two subsequent ones. In the fall of 1890 a scurrilous letter directed against Mr. N. G. Gonzales appeared in the Winnsboro News and Herald. It styl ed him, as we remember it, "treacherous Spaniard," and abused him under cover of a nom de plume. Mr. Gonzales wrote the editor of the paper asking the name of his correspondent. The reply was that the correspondent would not allow his name to be given to Mr. Gonzales. Some time subsequently Mr. Gonzales was informed through reliable chaUr neis that James H. Tillman, then edit ing a little paper in that town, was his anonymous assailant. The election passed, and at the an nual meeting of the South Carolina club, which gives the annual State ball, the name cf James H. Tillman was proposed for membership. Mr. Gonzales, being present at the meet ing as a member, told some of his friends of the Winnsboro incident. They agreed in the opinion that a man who was cowardly enough to anony mously slander an opponent and then refuse to let that opponent know his name was not a fit person to be admit ted into a social organization of gen tlemen. They so informed the mem ber who had presented Tillman's name, and notified him that if this candidate were pressed upon the club he would be rejected, there being pres ent more than the number'required for rejection. Upon this the name of James H. Tillman was withdrawn. Not long afterwards Mr. George S. Legare, now a candidate for congress in the Charleston district, then recent ly a student in the*South Carolina col lege, called on Mr. Gonzales one day and informed him that James H. Till man felt aggrieved at the action taken., by the South Carolina club and wish ed satisfaction, and that he was com missioned to inquire whether if Till man should send a challenge to fight a duel Mr. Gonzales would accept it. Mr. Gonzales told him to tell Tillman that if he wished to know whether he would accept a challenge or not he could send him one. Mr. Legare de parted ; but not another word did Mr. Gonzales ever hear of the matter. We have never since that time ex changed a dozen words with Mr. Legare, but we cheerfully refer any inquirers to him with full confidence that he will reply that he tore an in quiry, not a challenge. The next occasion was in the spring of 1893, when Mr. Gonzales was in Washington and the matter of his ap g)intment to the consul generalship at io de Janeiro was pending James H. Tillman was at the time tht Wash ington correspondent of the Columbia Evening Journal. One day The Jour nal printed a special dispatch from Tillman making the statement on al leged information that in view of Sena tor Irby's opposition to his confirma tion Mr. Gonzales was trying to have that nomination withheld until after the adjournment of the senate. The statement was malicionus in purpose, and that it was false as well is shown by this statement from Wade Hampton printed in The State April 16, 1893: "Among other things it was stated that Mr. Gonzales and his friends were trying to keep his name from being put in nomination before the senate adjourned. This is not ac cording ro the facts. I, myself, and others of Mr. Gonzales" friends called on the president over a week ago and urged his name sent to the senate at once, or, at any rate, before that body adjourned. Mr. Gonzales was quite as anxious for this to be done, and has made his desire in the matter known. I merely state this in order that be may be put right in the opinion of the public." Being notified from Columbia of this publication, Mr. Gonzales had himself quoted in The Sate as saying ! that the statement, was a "falsehood I without; shadow of excuso. " Soon af ter The State containing the dispatch reached Washington James H. Tillman came up to Mr. Gonzales at the news stand in the Metropolitan hotel and asked what he meant. Mr. Gonzales replied that he "meant to say whoever made that charge lied." Tiilman re joined that he had not asserted it, bnt only said it was reported, and that he got it from some one in the state de partment. Mr. Gonzales asked his name and Tiilman refused to give it. There was some further talk and Mr. Gonzales' final word was that "the story is an infernal lie." Soon after, a Georgia journalist, evidently instigated by Tiilman, came to Mr. Gonzales with an offer of his food offices to settle the "unfortunate ispute," intimating that his desire w?s to prevent a duel. Mr. Gonzales replied that he had nothing to settle ; that the story was a lie ; that he had told Jim Tiilman that it was a lie ; that that was all there was of it; and that any further steps would have to be taken by Tiilman. A few days af terward, Mr. Gonzales standing at the same place in the Metropolitan hotel lobby, Tiilman slouched up, and alongside of him, bought some cigars and paralyzed Mr. Gonzales with as tonishment by offering him one. It was declined. Tiilman, quite imper turbable, put the cigars in his pocket and sauntered away. That was the last of that incident It was years after this affair that Tiilman wrote Mr. Gonzales a letter expressing his high admiration and respect for him and his thanks for the support given his father, George D. Tiilman, and requesting that past differences be dropped. "We have this letter somewhere, but cannot as yet find it in a great mass of old corres pondence. After James H. Tiilman had dis graced himself by his conduct while in command of the First regiment, stationed near this city, being barely saved from a court-martial, and after he had assailed and misrepresented the I people of Columbia in his frequent [speeches to the regiment, The State : permitted itself to print an editorial making fun of a'story he had palmed off on the Associated Press office at Washington to the effect that the In dians of a Minnesota reservation?Leech Lake, we think it was?had offered to enlist a regiment for the Philippine war on condition that he, Jim Tiil man, should be made colonel of it. The day after the publication of the eidtorial Tiilman telegraphed to the editor "demanding" the name of the man who wrote jit This looked like vengeance, stern and swift, but when Mr. Gonzales telegraphed Tiilman that he had written the article and was responsible for it there were no further proceedings. The indignant colonel was dumb. These are facts. They go to illus trate still further the character cf the man who wrote a falsehood upon the journal of the senate, thus committing a fraud upon that body at the expense i of its members ; who swallowed the lie ! administered to him by Mr. DeCamp at Gaffney and who at Winnsboro at tempted to wriggle out of this last trouble by brazenly denying in the teeth of the witness he himself set up that he had been called a Jliar by Mr. DeCamp. James H. Tiilman is a disgrace to his uncle, and a double disgrace to his father, George ? D. Tiilman, whose brave and manly soul deserved no such punishment as the character of his son inflicted upon it. George Tiilman was our friend, and on his account we said during his lifetime as little of his son as we could. In evidence of the fact that he did not think unkindly of the editor of The State for his attitude to ward Jim Tiilman we have among oth er proofs a letter from him?not mark ed "private"?written in 1900, after these events, addressing Mr. Gonzales affectionately by his first name, renew ing his subscription tc The State, con gratulating its editor upon making it "far and away the best paper in South Carolina, " and saying in regard to the issues of the time, "I am with you hea rt and soul. " " Good bye and good luck, " it ended. If appeal were neces sary from any assertion by James H. Tiilman we could, it will be seen, make the appeal from .the degenerate son to bis honored father. Washington, July 29.?The members of the Brotherhood of Electrical Work ers, Local No. 2?6, who have been em ployed on repair work at the White House, have quit work in order to en force the rules of the union.

Dallas, Texas, July 29.? Although the flood situation in the northern western section of this State, which has been deluged by recent rains, is improved additional heavy rains have fallen in the southern and central por tions of the State, which have crippled railway traffic and caused considerable damage to other propertty. From Baird west on the Texas and Pacific the weather is clear, but from the coast to Texarkana, west to Baird and south to and beyond San Antonio there were frequent downpours today. These rains have materially, softened the roadbeds and in many places the wa ter threatens to overflow the track. All Were Saved. "For years I suffered such untold misery from Bronchitis." writes J.

Thousands of East Side Hebrews Attend Funeral of Chief Rabbi. Many Reserves Called Out. Many Injured Sent to Hospital. New York, July 30.?The funeral of the late Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head of the orthox Hebrews of the United States, which was held here to j day, was the occasion of one of the ! most remarkable demonstrations ever i witnessed in this city and led to a col lision between the masses of Jewish I mourners and the police. The streets I were packed with thousands of He j brews, the stores were generally closed and every point of vantage along the route taken by the funeral precession to the different synagogues was crowd ed. I Directly in front of the house where the body has been lying in state for I the last few days over 100 patrolmen kept the crowd from the entrance with considerable difficulty. After the services at the house the body was taken to each of the six synagogues on the East Side whore brief services were held. When the procession was passing the printing press factory of R. Hoe & Co. on Grand. street, on its way to the cemetery in Brooklyn, several em ployes of the factory emptied pails of ? water from the windows of an upper floor onto the spectators massed upon the sidewalk. Pail after pail, it was said, was emptied on the throng which shouted and struggled and stampeded in vain to escape. Then overalls and clothing soaked in water came down from above, and even tools, scraps of ] steel, bolts and a dead cat. The angry populace, most of whom were Hebrews,'retaliated by throwing back into the factory window the mis siles that fell on them. They also gathered up stones and sticks and in a few minutes there was scarcely a whole pane of glass from the Grand street side of the factory. Then some one in the factory turned on a hose and played it indiscriminate ly all over the funeral procession. At j one time as many as five streams were played on the crowd. Drivers of mourning carriages whipped up their horses, trampling over citizens, and the stronger men trampled women and children under foot in their efforts to escape. The police had in the meantime taken hand in the trouble and were clubbing the people right and left. They were, however, unable to cope with the crowd and the reserves of half a dozen precincts were dispatched to the scene. It was more than half an hour before order was restored and the streets in the vicinity of the factory cleared. -A number of arrests were made, among them being several em ployes of the Hoe company. Many persons were found about the streets bleeding from wounds on their heads and other parts of their bodies. Ambulances had been summoned in the meantime and three responded. The surgeons were kept busy for some time dressing the wounds of the in jured. Several policemen also were in jured, receiving cuts and bruises. Two men were taken to the hospital. One of them had sustained internal inju ires and contusions and the other a sprained leg. Later in the day the persons arrest ed were arraigned in police court and fines of $5 and $10 were imposed in several instances. Bad feeling is said to exist between some of the employes of the Hoe company and the Hebrews residing in the neighborhood, and this is said to have been the cause of the trouble. Eobert Hoe of the Printing Press company made a statement after the trouble was over in which he says fight ing was going on in the ranks of the procession as it passed the factory ; that some of those attacked were forc ed to the door of the office and there the fighting continued, while missiles thrown by the crowd broke many win dows of the factory. Then it was, says Mr. Hoe, that his employes tried to drive the assailants back by hurling missiles at them and finally turning water on the cowd. He added that boys working in the factory had been in the habit of jeering at Hebrews and he had tried everything in his power to have the practice stopped, even discharging boys of whom com plaint was made. After the riot had been quelled the cortege proceeded to Brooklyn where ? the body of Rabbi Joseph was interred. The funeral procession did not reach the cemetery, however, without in cident. As it passed through a Brooklyn street some one threw a heavy block of wood from the roof of a building into the line of mourners. The latter broke through the police lines and tried to get into the build ing. Threats of clubbing by the police finally restored order. Forty thou sand people were crowded in and about the cemetery at Cypress Hi li in an attempt to witness the services at the grave.

Pitched Battle Between Miners and Police?A Merchant Club bed to Death?Twenty Strik ers Shot. Shenandoah, Pa., July 30.?A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 19?O seem insignificant, holds Shenandoah in its grasp tonight. Since L6 o'clock this evening, Centre street, which is one of the principal streets of the town, has been in the hands of an in furiated mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally; Joseph Beddal, a leading merchant and cou sin of Sheriff Beddal was brutally clubbed to death and uprwards of a score of strikers whose names at this writing could not be ascertained were shot by policemen and it is expected that many deaths will result. Sheriff Beddal arrived from Potts ville at 7.45 o'clock with a posse of deputies. He has taken up headquar ters at the Ferguson hotel. To an As sociated Press reporter he' admitted that he has asked Gov. Stone to send the militia. The governor wired that if the citizens of the town petition, for troope, he will send them, and a peti tion is being circulated for that pur pose now. The trouble started about 6 o'clock this afternoon when Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal attempted to escort two non-union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The work men were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a bundle under his arm and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him and when it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime Beddal opened fire on the mob which had gathered by this time and emptied his revolver. Two of the shots took effect, one m?n being shot in the leg and the other in the foot. The deputy and the strikers were now compelled to fiy for their lives and took refnge in the Philadel phia and Reading railroad depot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5, 000 which was becom ing more threatening and demonstra tive every moment. Jos. Beddal, a hardware merchant and brother of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd in an effort to reach his brother, and the mob, divining that he was carrying ammunition to those inside the depot, seized him and beat him with clubs and billies into insensibil ity. He died en route to the miners' hospital. Shortly after this the entire borough police force arrived on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff andjhis man to an engine which had been backed into the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape they surrounded the engine and the engi neer was afraid to move. In a few moments, however, 'the police fired a volley dispersing the crowd for a brief period and the ergi-' neer turned on full steam and got away with his men. Stones were row thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John sey gave the order to fire At the first volley the mob fell back and several were seen to fall. Their retreat, how ever, was but momentary. They turn ed and with revolvers, stones and a few shot guns they charged on the lit tle band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen turned in their flight at short inter vals and fired volley after volley at their merciless pursuers, but the mob seemed thoroughly infuriated and smoking revolvers seemed to have no terrors for them. When the Lehigh railroad crossing was reached a pass ing freight train blocked the progress ol! the men, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. One of them, Stiney Yacopsky, will die. It is estimated that upwards of one thousand shots were fired and the won der is that more fatalities did not re sult. More than 20 strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot and' at least two of them will die. Many of the merchants and politicians are refusing to sign the call for troops, fearing that the miners will boycott them after the trouble is over, and as the governor has made the sending of troops contingent on the petition of citizens there is some doubt as to whether they will be sent Child Hung in a Swing. One of the 2-year old twin children of Mr. G. R. Funderburk of the Tradesville section met with a distress ing accident Sunday last. The ch&? was missed from the house by its; mother who sent out to look for it; and found it hanging in a swing by the neck dead. It had evidently been swinging when in some way it got the rope around its neck and the weight of its body drew the rope so tight that it choked the child to death. When they found it, fts feet were testing - upon the ground, though at a s?b&np angle thereto. The body was buried Monday at Taberncale Church.?Lan caster Enterprise. Women and Jewels.
