Heads Committee to investigate Strike Situation. Habana, Nov. 25.?The Central La bor union tonight decided to call off the strike and committees were ap pointed to inform the varions unions of this decision. There probably will be a complete resumption oif work to morrow. Mach of the credit for the settle ment of the strike is due to Gen. Go mez, who headed the committee which consulted today wtih the officials o* the Habana ? Commercial Company, against whom the strike was first di / rected. After the conference. Gen. Gomez and the majority of the com mittee expressed themselves; as satis fied at the stand that the company1 has taken. The officials maintained that they had not discriminated against Cuban apprentices, the fact being that the company's books showed that over 90 per cent, of its apprentices were Cubans. The com pany would maintain and even in crease this ratio, but it refused to treat with the Central Labor Union in matters pertaining to its employes. The officials said that they awlays were willing to meet a committee made up of workers from their facto ries and they agreed to open the factor ies again if the men returned to work. Gen. Gomez and the committee af terward met the Central Labor Union and the old warrior did not spare words in his condemnation of the ac tion of the union in calling out the workmen. He said it was a revolu tion and not a strike and that the wax veterans stood ready to t?ke up arms in support of the government in ordre to maintain order. That ended the strike as far as the Central Labor ; Union was concerned. It did not care to brave Gen. GOmezs' wrath and word was sent out as soon as possible to have the men return to work. There may be some difficulty with local unions, but the backbone*?* the strike is broken and tomorrow will undoubtedly see most of the laborers at work. GiN?L NE&OTI?T??hI?LGGKEG. Secretary Hay Reports to Cabinet the Unsatisfactory Situation. Washington, Nov. 25.?The cabinet meeting today was devoted almost ex clusively to the consideration of the status of reciprocity with Cuba and the canal treaty with Colombia. The .hitches that have occurred in the nego tiations were discussed as also were the prospects of settlement. Secretary Hay, while presenting the subject of the canal negotiations to the . cabinet, was not able to report that any pro gress had been made during the past week. In fact it appears that the nego tiations have come to a dead stop and while no such thing as an ultimatum has passed, the precise situations may be described in the statement that the Colombian minister here, Concha, has dstinctly informed the state depart ment that he cannot in behalf of his government accept the las: proposition of the United States as the basis of a canal treaty. The state department has already let it be known that it has come to the end of its concessions, so the chances of a renewal of the negotiations in the near future are not very bright. This state of affairs will stimulate the negotiations with Nicarauga and Costa Rica for the alternate route, but it now appears that the diplomatic re presentatives of these conn tries are not disposed to allow themselves to be used to coerce Colombia and they are there fore desirous of remaining in the background until it shall be clearly established that no treaty can be made between Colombia and the United States. President Roosevelt laid before the cabinet his annual message to congress in complete form. It was sent to the printer today. mm - t t mmm Newberry, Nov. 25.?News was re civeed here tonight that Dr. Coleman and Mr. Will Lyles, prominent white men living atMaybinton, this county, near the Union lice, became engaged in a difficulty this morning in which both were shot and seriously wounded. Mr. Lyies received four bullets in the bowels, and Dr. Coleman was shot in the chest The weapons used were revolv?is. It appears that the diffi culty was the direct result of a dispute bewteen the parties last night. No further particulars could be obtained.

Chambliss in addition to his duties at the college is doing a great work for South Carolina in the capacity of State entomologist. He has recently inspected orchards in many parts of the State and recommended remedies where pests have already appeared, ? and sugegsted plans for preventing their appearance. The great import ance of this work is never realized be cause it is a work of prevention rather than a work of tangible results. If the fruit growers of the State will give this work their cooperation just as South Carotina is beginning to be a fruit growing* State, they may save themselves the trouble and loss inci ! dent to cutting down large orchards. The law as recently established re quires nurserymen outside of the State doing business in the State to file with the State entomologist a certifi cate of inspection; showing that their goods are free from ail diseases and pests. If they fail to do this the State entomologist has a right to seize the goods, inspect tbem> release them if found free from insects and disases, or if diseased, destroy them. Transportation companies may know whether such goods have been:inspect ed or not by the tags which all in spected goods mus; bear. The fruit growers of the State can effectually assist in this work by re porting all violations of the law. ' Prof. Chambliss has arleady seized thousands of trees and is holding them for inspection. Som? have been re leased, some destroyed. He has also 'inspected and fumigated the stock of two large nurseries in this State. Nurserymen in tbis'State cannot ship out goods unless they have been per sonaly inspected oy the State ento mologist. This being the case others ought not to be allowed to ship in witbout inspection. Col. M. , L. ' Donaldson, who is chairman of the South Carolina State board of entomology, is very much in terested in this matter, and is giving Prof. Chambliss much valuable aid in the work. Th railroads and express companies are cooperating with the board. Insisted on Trading Horses. Special to The State. Chester, Nov. 25.?Sheriff Corn well gave today the- ; news of a shooting scrape that occurred out in the Arme nia neighborohodj 12 miles west of . Chester, Saturday night. The sheriff was sent for and yesterday he brought his prisoner to j?il. It seems that Mr. Andy Hofner, feeling somewhat exhil erated., left for home late Saturday af trenoon and when he had gotten some distance out he overtook Mr. Tom Hudson. He accosted Hudson rather roughly and insisted on trading horses then and there. When Hudson refused to agree Hofner'became infuriated and levied his gun at him and empted sev eral loads in his right shoulder, inflict ing a very painful and somewhat seri ous wound. Hofner is now in jail chargd with assault and: battery with attempt to kill and Hudson is confined to his bed, suffering with a wound which may terminate fatally. Both are white men, usually good citizens and industrious farmers. Safe Robbers in the Piedmont. g Charlotte, N. C, ; November 27.?A special to the Observer, from Spartan burg, S. U.j says: "Burglars dyDamited the safe in the office of the Enoreee Manufacturing Company, at . Enoree, twenty-five miles southeast of here, at an early hour this morning, securing $3,000 in cash. In addition the safe in the post office, which was in the same build ing, was also opened and $300 in stamps and money secured. The mill authorities offer a reward of $500 for the arrest of the men, who were evi dently professionals in their line.

Yes, Angnst Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Yonr mothers' and grandmothers' never i thought of using anything else for indiges tion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous prostration or heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of nndigest ed food, regniate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervons and organic action of the sv stem, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's Angnst Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is noth ing serious the matter with yon. Yon can get this reliable remedy at China's drug drug store.

Special to The News and Courier : Washington, November 27.?Dr. Crum and some of his colored friends are making strenuous efforts to con vince President Roosevelt that the charges of political treachery made against Crum, in connection with the Minneapolis Convention, are un founded, and appeal to the President not to turn down Crum upon such false accusations. They add that if he is to be turned down it can only be because of his color. In the meantime the President has made no official an nouncement, although he has said to members of his administration and others with whom he has discussed the subject that he cannot see how he can appoint Crum collector of Charleston in the face of the record that he was once nominated for postmaster at Charleston by a Republican President and failed of confirmation by a Re publican Senate. The question is still open, with chances strongly against Crum's ap pointmet not being made. THE PRESIDENT'S "PERSONAL" OPEN LETTER, The President has sent the following communication to a prominent citizen of Charleston, S. C. : White House, Washington, D. C, November 26, 1902.?(Personal. )?My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your let ter of November 20, and one from Mr. -, under date of November 11, in reference to the appointment of Dr. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston. In your letter you make certain spec ific charges against Dr. Crum, tend ing to show his unfitness in several respects for the office sought. These charges are entitled to the utmost consideration from me and I. shall go over them carefully before taking any action. After making these charges you add, as a further reason for oppositon to him, that he is a color ed man, and, after reciting the mis deeds that followed carpet-bag rule and negro domination in South Carolina, you say that "we have sworn never again to submit to the rule of the Afri can, and such an appointment as that of Dr. Crum to any such office forces us to protest unanimously against this insult to the white blood ;" and you add that you understood me to say that 1 would never force a negro on such a community as yours. THE POLITICAL BAR SINISTER. Mr.-puts the objection of color first, saying: "First, he is a colored man, and that of itself ought to bar him from the "office. " In view of these last statements I think I ought to m2ke clear to you why I am concerned and pained by your making them and what my attitude is as regards all such appointments. How any one could have gained the idea that I had said I would not appoint reptuable and up right colored men to office, when ob jection was made to them-solely on.ac count of their color, I confess I am Wholly unable to understand. At the time of my visit to Charleston last spring I had made, and since that time I have made a number of such appointments from several States in which there is a considerable colored population. COLORED MEN APPOINTED. For example, I made one such ap pointment in Mississippi and another in Alabama shortly before my visit to Charleston. I had at that time ap pointed two colored men as judical magistrates in the District of Colum bia. I have recently announced anoth er such appointment in New Orleans and have just made one from Pennsyl vania. The great majority of my ap pointments in every State have been of white men. North and South alike it has been my sedulous endeavor to appoint only men of high character and good capacity, whether white or black. But it has been my consistent policy in every State where their numbers warranted it to recognize colored men of good repute and stand ing in making appointments to office. These appointments of colored men have in no State made more than a small proportion of the total number of appointments. I am unable to see how I can legitimately be asked to make an exception for South Carolina. In South Carolina to the four most important positions in the State I have appointed three men and continu ed in office a fourth, all of them white men?three of them originally Gold Democrats?two of them, as I am in formed, the sons of Confederate sol diers. I have been informed: by the citizens of Charleston who I have met that these four men represent a high grade of public service. COLOR NO BAR TO OFFICE. I do not intend to appoint any unfit men to office. So far an I legitimate ly can I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes and feelings of the people of each locality, but I" can not consent to take the position that the door of hope (the door of opportu nity ) is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color. Such an at titude would, according to my convic tions, be fundamentally wrong. If, as you hold, the great bulk of the col ored people are not yet fit in point of character and influence to hold such positions, it seems to me that it is worth while putting a premium upon the effort among them to achieve the character and standing which will fit them. The question of "negro domination" does not enter into the matter at all. It might as well be asserted that when I was Governor of New York I sought to bring about negro domination in that State because I appointed two col ored men of good standing and charac ter to responsible positions?one of them to a position paying a salary twice as large as that paid in the office now nndei consideration?one of them a director of the Buffalo Exposition. The question raised by you and Mr. in the statements to which I refer is simply whether it is to be de clared that under no circumstances shall any man of color, no matter how upright and honest, no matter how good a citizen, no matter how fair in his dealings with all his fellows, be permitted to hold office under our Gov ernment I certainly cannot assume an attitude, and you must permit me to say that in my,veiw it is an atti tude no man should assume, whether he looks at it from the standpoint of the trae interest of the white man of the South or of the colored man of the. South?not to speak of any other section of the Union. It seems to me that it is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he shares in marked degree the qualities of good citizenship?the -qualities which in a white man we feel are entitled to reward?then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward. Without any regard as to what my decision may be on the merits of this particular applicant for this particular place, I feel that I ought to let you know clearly my attitude on the far broader question raised by you and .-; an attitude from which I have not varied during my term of office. Faithfully yours, Theodore Roosevelt. To the Hon.-, Charleston, S. C. Estimate of Cotton Crop 90 - 2. New York, November 25.?For many years we have published annually for the information of our correspondents an estimate of the cotton crop of the United States complied from figures contained in replies to letters address ed by us to several thousand firms and individuals in the 'cotton States ; and the average of these estimates for seve ral seasons has tended to largely un derestimate the total yield. This year instead of requesting esti mates of the crop from so many, we have sought the information by letter and telegram from a limited number of the most intelligent and best in formed correspondents in every cotton State, and the following we regard a conservative estimate of the crop at this date : States Estmtd. Crop Crop 1903-1003 f001-1902 Alabama, 1,000,000 1.200,000 Arkansas, 1.000.000 820.000 Florida. 50,000 54,000 Georgia, 1,350,000 1.525.000 Louisiana. $25,000 880.000 Mississippi, 1,450.000 1.375,000 North Carolina, 650,000 550.000 South Carolina. 050,000 925,000 Tcn?i. & C. & ?k. Ty., 525.000 359.000 |TTexasand Ind. Ty.. 3.200,000 2.093,000 Estimated total, 11,000,000 10.6S1.000 Last year was an unfavorable one for cotton production in nearly all sec tions. In the South Atlantic States excessive rains prevailed much of the season and in Texas and the South western States a disastrous drought cut the crop short, in spite of these adverse conditions the vield proved to be 10,681,000 bales. This year as a rule the season has been favorable; stands were perfect, cultivation good, the crop matured early, the Fall has been phenomenally mild?no killing frost?the plant has had ample time to ripen and the pick ing season thus far all that could bt? desired. It is therefore not improbable that the crop this year will exceed that of last year by some 300,000 bales. Very truly yours, Latham, Alexander k Co. Decline in Price of Silver. London, November 26.?The con tinued decline in the price of silver causes some considerable comment in financial circles. According to the best informed houses it is regarded as being directly due to China's flooding the market with silver in pay ment of the indemnity to the Powers. Prior to the recent disturbances China was a large buyer of silver in London, but now the balance of trade is revers ed, and instead of China taking silver in return for tea, silk and other ar ticles imported into the United King dom, she has to ship silver in payment for manufactured articles. This alone, without the large indemnity disburse ments, is considered sufficient to ac ! count for the depreciation in the value of the metal. It is pointed out that even if China paid the indemnity in gold the result would be the same, as she would have to send the same quantity of silver to Europe in order to buy gold. Washington, Nov. 26.?The Commer cial Cable Company has filed with the department of justice a written accept ance of the terms and conditions on which the President has consented it may construct a cable between the United States and the Philippines and China. The company, therefore will now be given the privilege of use of the soundings taken by the Govern ment vessel Nero, which surveyed the Pacific Ocean with the purpose of ob taining full information as to the best route for a cable between the Pacific coast and the Philippine Islands and Asia.

Yerkes, the commissioner of internal revenue, in his report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, says that the internal revenue taxes have been reduced 8100,000,000 by the repeal of the war revenue laws. He estimates that the total receipts from internal reve nue for the current fiscal vear will be 822,000,000.

Nov. 27.?Secretary of Agriculture Wilson today issued sweep ing orders directed to the managers and agents of railroads and transpor tation companies of the United States, stockmen and others, notifying them of the establishment of a quarantine of cattle, sheep and other ruminants and swine in the New England States and prohibiting the exportation of such animals from the port of Boston until further orders. Kecent investigations by the depart ment of agricolture disclosed the fact that what is known as "foot and mouth disease, ' ' exists to an alarming extent in Connecicnt, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont. The ex pert of the department, Dr. M?hler ; Dr. Leonard Pearson, of the Univer sity of Pennsylvnaia, and James Law of Cornell, visited the infected dis tricts and united in a recommenda tion that in order to prevent the spread of the disease a quarantine should immediately be establisehd. Secretary Wilson said today that this is the most serious matter the de partment has had to handle for some time, but that all the resources of the department would be employed in stamping out the disease, f?e declares that if it should spread west of the Hudson river it would he nothing short of a national calamity. Rise in Rates to New York, Washington, Nov. 26.? The Michi gan Central today filed with the Inter State commerce commission a ' new freight tariff schedule between New York and Chicago, making an increase of five cents in the export rate on pro visions and of five cents for dressed meat, both domestic and export.
