Other Charleston Concerns.

Other Charleston Concerns.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug. 27.-There is
promise Of a war among rice mills here.
The battle was begun by Mr.. Chisolm's
mill, which announced a reduction of tolls
for milling to cents a bushel. Up to 1885
the price was IL cents a bushel, cents for
barreling and one-half cent for weighing, a
total toll of 1S15 cents. In 1886 there was a
reduction to cents for milling and 8 cents
for barreling, leaving total Of IL cents,
the charge for weighing having been abol-
ished.
The present reduction by the Chisolms
makes the rates cents for milling and 5
cents for barreling, total OF IL cents.
MEETING TO BE HELD.
The announcement has caused consider
able commotion In rice milling circles, and
a meeting of the millers will probably be
held In day or two TO take action in the
matter. There are five mills here, all OF
which do an active business The Chisolm
mill. which is one Of the oldest concerns,
has been closed for several years, the other
mills paying the owners $l2 900 per annum
bonus. There has been some talk
recently OF purchasing the mill
property as a site for the new 81 900, ,O00
hotel, which it is proposed TO erect here, but
the price demanded by the owners " as said
TO be too high. The mill men here appear
to be very much disturbed at this reduc-
ton, but decline to say what their pro-
gramme will be.
The first cargo of the new crop Of Caro-
lima rice was received here some days ago.

CAUSE OF THE RACE WARS
OUTSIDE MAKERS THE
ONES USUALLY TO BLAME.


Congressional Investigation Intended
Only to Make Party Cepital-The
Negroes Generally all Right When
Left Alone-The White Man Deter
mined to Rule, However, in Self
Protection.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 97.-The senate to-
day proceeded to consideration of the re-
port of the judiciary committee on the
jackson (Miss.) election, and Mr.. Wilson
continued the remarks begun by him last
Thursday.
Mr. Walthall complained of the period
ical arraignment of the southern people for
alleged offenses that are clearly outside Of
the sphere OF congress. He said they were
unaccompanied by any plan of remedy or
redress. They had borne no fruit but
ordinations and recriminations and
had had no effect but to delay the era OF
good will among reunited people,
THEIR ONLY OBJECT
Their purpose always was to gain for the
dominant party some political advantage
by the dissemination Of partisan reports
and bitter sectional speeches. This had
been the case in the matter of the Copiah
spoken in the senate on that report, and NOT
one move made indicating any purpose or
desire to do anything more than to get it
before the country, as was done under the
resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar to print 15O,-
600 copies of 1t for distribution, so that the
whole movement had been merely a pretext
and sham.

Reviewing the difficulties of the task i'm

TO the two races living on the same political
plane, he quoted speeches Of President Lin
coin and republican orators recognizing the
difficulties, and declared that IL one were to
rule at the south 1t must certainly be the
white race He believed that the Whites
and blacks might live together with the
rights OF both races respected, but subject
at intervals to jars which always arose in
such cases. The scenes OF violence which
had taken place in the Pacific states and
territories in opposition to the Chinese had
never found any parallel at the south
ADVANCEMENT OF THE NEGROES.
The substantial advancement male by
the negroes in the south showed how the
southern people had met the race issue AS
rule, the colored people, when left free
from external influences, had done well.
Bad men had sometimes for political and
personal advantages, excited their preiu-
dices and passions, and had arrayed them
against their white neighbors, but still it
was a fact that tho two races in
Mississippi, as elsewhere in the south,
had, In general, approached each other
IN spirit of mutual CONCESSION
and were tending toward harmonious CO
operation. II that movement succeeded.
the period Of race antagonism might posi-
bly, disappear. He did not believe there
was a senator present who lived in Missis-
sippi who would not strive to avert from
tho white people of that state the curse of
negro supremacy.
At the close of Mr.. Walthall's speech tho
report went over without action,

GOVERNMENT AID SECURED.
FIGHT OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Surgeon General Hamilton's Advices
Far From Gloomy.

Far From Gloomy
WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-Dr. Neal
Mitchell, at Jacksonville, telegraphs that
he received refugee from Camp Perry
Sunday night, and that many people in
jacksonville desire to go into camp.
DIR. Hamilton said to-day that the report
that no one is allowed to leave Jackson
vile is incorrect. He said a special train
has been chartered by the hospital bureau
to run daily between jackson vile and
Camp Perry, in order to allow all persons
desiring to leave Jacksonville to do so by
that route He said the railroad companies
are having extreme difficulty in running
trains owing to conflicting local health
regulations, which prevent them stopping
when they carry passengers. THIS, he
hold of the work.
TOWNS PASS INSPECTION.
Inspector Posey reports to the bureau
Oak and Lake City, Lake City junction,
and intervening points, and reports them
healthy. DIR. Hamilton says that this will
allow a suspension of fumigation of bag
gage from those towns so long as they
maintain quarantine against infected
points. Reports show that seven refugees
were received at Camp Perry Friday and
twenty-elght saturday.
One case of yellow fever arrived at the
camp from Jacksonville Saturday, and was
returned to that city the next day.
Mayor Lester Of Savannah telegraphs
that he is informed that Mr. Merriwetner
died at Fernandina of yellow fever, and
asks that Fernandina be inspected. DR..
Hamilton telegrdphed in reply, authorizing
him to send a competent inspector to Fer
nandina at the expense of the marine hos
pital bureau.

PHILADELPHIA INVADED.
A Case of Fever from Santiago de Cuba
in a Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug 27.-A man
suffering with all the symptoms OF yellow
fever was admitted to the medico-chirur-
gical hospital tonight. The hospital
authorities refused to give tho name of the
patient, but it was learned on good
authority that he is one of two men who
were carried as passengers on the steam
ship Earnwell from Santiago de Cuba
TO Philadelphia by direction of the
British consular authorities from the former
port. They had come from Aspinwall on
the steamer Ocean Prince, and were suffer-
ing from chagres fever when placed on
board the Earnwell One of them died on
the passage and was buried at sea on
Aug. Is, and the survivor, who is the
patient now confined in the Medico- Chirur-
gical hospital, was under treatment at the
lazaretto station, and was discharged as
cured either yesterday or to-day. Upon
reaching the city he showed signs Of re-
newed exhaustion. and applied to the British
consul for medical assistance.

PENSACOLA AS CLEAN ASA PIN.
The Municipal Authorities Determined
TO Keep Her So.

PENSACOLA, FLA, Aug. 27.-The board
of the municipality of Pensacola assembled
to-day and passed resolutions condemning
the use of water taken from shallow driven
wells. Pensacola has one of the finest sys-
TENS of water works in the south, which is
ample to supply its citizens. The water
supplied is taken from a great depth, and is
pure and wholesome. The board also passed
a resolution asking the county bo ird of
health to appoint committee to confer
with them to cooperate in carry ing
out this resolution, and an
other appointing sanitary inspectors
to see that the present cleanly condition of
the city is maintained. The county board
of health meets tonight to consider the
communication from the city, and will
doubtless cooperate in all measures which
appertain to the sanitation of the county
and city. The vigilance of the local quar-
antine authorities against the infected dis
tricts is unrelaxed SO far.

Hundreds of people applied at the labor
atory, at the corner of Ocean and Forsyth
streets, this morning, for some of Dr.
kenworthy's disinfectant The rush was
SO great the doctor had to limit the distri-
button to infected localities.
A large number of colored people were on
Bay street this morning apparently trying
to get employment from the authorities.
The situation is growing serious, and all
the people here who intend to stay are look
ing the situation square in the face and ex-
pect long seige. Many left to-day, and If
the trains run scores more will go, making
less food for the fever.

SUPPRESSION DENIED.
The Press Agent Takes a Decidedly
Brighter View of the Situation.

Brighter View of the Situation.
By the associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 27.-To-day
ended the first month of the existence of
yellow fever in Jacksonville, the first sus-
picious case having been brought here July
2S. The record is not frightful so far, con-
sidering the panic it has created throughout
the country. 1t is as follows: Total cases,
107; deaths, II; discharged cured, 2S; under
treatment, 62, many of whom are convaleS-
cent. Sensational stories about the sup
preston OF news of cases and deaths by the
authorities are utterly false.
POSSIBLY FEW EXCEPTIONS.
Possibly few cases have not been re-
ported by family physicians, but the num-
ber is doubtless offset by the cases reported
that are not typical yellow fever cases. No
death has been suppressed. The board of
health announced the first suspicious case,
that of Mccormick of Tampa, at the Grand
Union hotel the day IL was discovered, and
so it is with tie other cases.
UNFAvoRABLE WEATHER.
To-day there has prevailed most unfavor-
able weather, 1t being warm and bright,
yet few new cases were developed,
seven constituting the list since & o'clock
last evening. One of these, G. H. Pollard,
was brought from the camp ut ST. Mary's
river, and died. There have been two
deaths besides Pollard's, Burton Mays, a
colored man, and Allen Fisher, fireman.
e. NJ. Macarthur of the Savannah. Florida
and Western railway, died last night, it is
rumored, of yellow fever. His physicians
claim that it was from a congestive chill
Outside of Jacksonville, every case of
sickness or death here is set down to yellow
fever.
THE QUARANTINE LINE.
There is great indignation here at the
shutting off of Middle Georgia and the
mountains. The modification allow
ing persons to go to points
beyond the Wilmington and Memphis
line is regarded as a freak of the marine
hospital service, as some places north of
that line are subject to fever epidenics,
while some of the best, most accessible and
healthy regions of the country south of the
line are sUiil inviting the people of Jackson
vile to come in.
Political work is much hampered by
fever, and the consequences are that both
the democratic and republican candidates
for the governorship have been quaran-
tined-Capt. Fleming at Monticello and
Col Shipman at his nome in Lawtey-for
harboring relatives who are refugees from
this city. Both are free now.
SCHOONER LOAD OF ICE.
The schooner Charlotte Sibley, with ice
from Belfast, Ne, came in today. The
crew stopped at Mayport. The vessel was
brought up by a tug in charge of stevedores
She will be towed to a saw mill below the
city, fumigated and loaded with lumber,
and turned over to the captain and crew at
Mayport.
Since the fever has attacked the negroes
the colored population has thinned out con-
siderably, though the applications for
relief increase. The conditions necessary
to rapid spread of the epidemic are not
believed to be favorable, and many hope
that the gales which will begin soon will
have favorable effect ON health.

The Captain of the Gyfie Put in a Bad
Light by His Crew.

New York, Aug. 27.--Yesterday 1t was
reported that the steamer Persian Monarch
had rescued number of sailors from the
sinking bark Gyfie, and brought them to
this port. 1t now seems, according to the
stories of the rescued, that the captain of
the Gyhe deliberately scuttled his vessel
an saturated her with parafiine, prepara
tory to firing her, req liring the crew to de-
clare that she had Is feet Of water in her
hold, which statement was not true. When
the Persian Monarch came alongside and
heard the story of the crew, and asked
about the Parafflne, tho captain of the
Gyhe suddenly refused to abandon her.
The twelve rescued sailors went before the
British consul to-day and made clean
breast Of the entire story.

CHARLESTON. s. c., Aug. 27.--The hosts
in the Second congressional district, where
is the only fight of the campaign in Caro-
lima, are gathering fast, and the clash will
occur tomorrow at Aiken, the place of
meeting of the convention. This is the first
timo that Congressman Tillman has had
serious opposition. There are three candi-
dates in the field: George d. T!llman Of
Edgefeld, the incumbent; Robert Aldrich
of Baruwell, and ID. c. Henderson of Aiken.
Mr., Tiilman has 20 votes pledged, Mr.
Aldrich Is and Mr.. Henderson 10.
A DEADLOCK PROBABLE
A deadlock is probable. Something Of a
pressure has been brought to bear against
Mr.. Tillman, who is not in accord with the
administration, but he can only be beaten
by Mr.. Henderson, who has the Aiken dele
gation. Mr. Henderson, it is said, can hold
his delegates till doomsday, but cannot
transfer them to Mr.. Aldrich. Mr.. Till
mans delegates will stand fast. The only
way in which Mr.. Tillman can be beaten,
therefore, is for Mr. Aldrich to transfer his
votes to Mr. Henderson, aud that is not
probable 1t is extremely improbable that

licans may therefore get in a member from
