Bitter Feeling Growing Out OF Efforts
to Enroll CoIored People in the
Order.
BALTIMORE, ND, Dec. 1.-THE Sun has
the following special from Columbia, s. c..
The efforts Of some of the organizers of the
Knights of Labor In this state TO enroll the
colored people in the order has caused much
bitter feeling against the order by the farm
ers. Some OF the state newspapers are de-
nouncing. the movement In the strongest
terms. Mr.. w. +. Russell, state organizer of
the Of hsS9 in An
Ignorance you may think that mechanics anl
laborers are not American citizens, and that
the laborers in the rural districts of South
Carolina are to be used as the lazy, intolerent
men in these districts choose to dictate; that
they nre not freemen, and shall work for what
pay you may choose to allow them"
Some papers advise the famers to "spot" oil
white men like Russell endeavoring to organ
ize negro knights of Labor, aud to drive them
from the neighborhood. These journals have
advised that the legislature should appropri-
ate money for tho maintenance ofthe militia, as
Il this organization goes on. This
the. legislature has done, and to
further protect the farmers against the
organization of the colored people living on
their plantations the senate has passed by a
large majority, and the house will doubtless,
make II law, bill providing that "it shall
meanor for any persons united organized, as
sociated. or banded together to interfere by
threats force, or any other way with any
contract between any employer and employe,
or TO permit any person for them or In their
name, or on behalf Of such union, association,
organization, or band, to interfere with en-
verbal or in writing, for wages or for any other
consideration, TO prevent the execution of such
contract and each and every one convicted oi
de- al, oil hn hn1 fNrI
ment for not less than six months, or fined
not less than $780, or both fined and
imprisoned. Each of such contracts
interfered with us above described shall consti.

The possibility Of strike at cotton.picking
time, when the whole crop of the state would
be lost II not properly gathered. was the prin-
cipal argumentused. together with tho declara.
tion that If q strike occurred among the
negroes, much more blood would be spilled
than last summer in Chicago and st. Louis.

TARIFF FIGHT TODAY.
speculations Relative TO the Probable
Result Of Mr.. Morrison's Motion to
Consider the Tariff BilI.

speculations Relative 20 the Probable
Result Of Mr.. Morrison's Motion to
Consider the Tariff Bill.
The tariff was the principal topic Of con-
versation last night wherever public men
congregate. The well.informed on each
side express grave doubts as to the result.
The Republicans and protection Democrats
are somewhat more confident OF the defeat
Of the motion TO consider the Morrison bill
than the revenue reform Democrats are OF
its success.
Mr.. Hiscock (Rep.) In reply to repor.
ter's question, said: "My impression is that
II will be defeated by three or four majority.
The actual strength against the Morrison
bill, think Is three to six, but II is difficult
to tell just how IL will come out on account
of absentees and failures to secure pairs.
Mr.. James, Of Brooklyn, who voted for
consideration OF the Morrison bill last
session, would, Mr.. Hiscock said, vote
against consideration this time. There was
a chance that they would gain other Re-
publican votes He had heard rumors that
one OF two Massachusetts, Republicans
would vote for consideration, but he was
inclined to believe the reports would prove
to be untrue.
Mr.. McAdoo, who has been very promi-
nent among the Democrats opposing con-
biuNiubiOnt bhlus ~ Will w very ClObb, Dub
we expect TO win by small majority. The
motion to consider, think, will be de.
feated, unless there Is break In the Repub.
lican ranks" lie denied the report that
the protection Democrats had made over
lures to Mr.. Morrison looking TO consider
alton Of the bill upon condition that n
point OF order should not be raised against
the incorporation In the bill OF Mr.. Ran
dalPs Internal revenue reduction PROPOSE
tion.
Gov. McCreary, OF Kentucky dem. J, who
has been active In endeavorlng TO secure
consideration, said:
~ am hopeful to get up the bill, but 1
am not certain Of IL. The count we make
is very close. / think there is chance to
get It up, and think there ls chance that
II will be beaten by about five votes" Mr..
Veele, Gov. McCreary said. would this time
vote for consideration. "There is evidently
change" he added, ITO a certain extent
in the minds Of those who voted against II
before. They express belief that revision
ought to be made In the tariff, but still
with slight pause), they won't consider
the question now"
The protection Democrats held another
conference at Mr.. McAdoo's rooms at the
Riggs House last night. Members who
were present said that every state In which
Democratic protectlonists were to be found
was represented and that all their men were
accounted for, SO that they knew their ex-
act standing. They declined to state the
precise number In their ranks. Messrs
Muller and Sprlggs,,of New York, who are
now absent, would be present to-day, they
said, and would vote against consideration.

THE WAR OF RATES
Among the Transcontinental Railroads
Causes Serious Loss 10 the United States


Among the Transcontinental Railroads
Causes Serious Loss 10 the United States
Government.
DosToN, Dec. 17.-In tie course OF called
meeting OF the Union Pacific railway directors
Thursday Government Director Alexander in
quired Of President Adams why the govern
mcnt requirements for the first nine months OF
the present year, which were SlbfQOO In 1880,
were estimated at only $500 900 during the cur.
rent year. In reply, President Adams stated
that this was due 10 the war in rates which had
existed since February last among the trans,
continental roads. and which had destroyed
the profit on the whole transcontinental traffic
of the year. The government requirements
are based upon percentage OF the net earn
ings OF aided lines, especially the Union Pacific.
These lines were originally built to do little
else than transcontinental business. The busi'
ness had formerly been confined 70 the Union
and Central Pacific and the Panama routes,
and had been a source Of great proat. II was
now divided among six routes, and thesix had
been and stlll were competing for II 10 such an
extent that the business had this year been
done without any net profit At al. The net
during the current year. been derived almost
exclusively ffom business delivered to Its
branch lines. But for this branch line busi-
ness the amount TO be paid to the government
under the Thurman act requirements would
have been reduced to almost nothing, as that
act called for % per cent. OF the net earnings
ofthe Union Pacific division, and but for tho
division would have had but very small earn.
ings. The security of the government now lies
In the traffic which the original
aided lines derive from tho present
Union Pacific auxiliary branch system, and
from the active development OF that system
the company must in future derive the means
OF meeting It's obligations to the government.
a drafl of an indenlure In three parts between
the Union Pacific, the Oregon Short Line, nnd
the oregon Railway and Navigation Companies
was submitted TO the meeting by President
Adams. The Oregon Short Line, under this
instrument, leases the property OF the oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, aud the
covenants of the lease are guaranteed by the
Union Pacific, The main conditions OF the
lease have already been made public. per
cent, dividend Is guaranteed on tho stock Of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company,
and provision is made for the early extension
of the railroad system of the Navigation Com.
pany and the Oregon Short Line. The instru.
ment, as submitted, was approved by the board
and referred to the executive committee Tor
such changes in details as might be advised by
counsel and agreed upon by the parties.
