Progress In the South.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, was at the Capitol yes
terday ITO collect his correspondence,
which has been accumulated while be has
been down home looking after his Sena.
torial fences, which are now undergoing
repair before the Legislature. The Sena.
tor is quite confident that he will be
re elected, as Judge Wallace, the only
person whose name has thus far been
mentioned as his probable opponent, has
come out in a public statement announc-
ing that he will not be candidate against
Senator Butler.
In referring to the situation in South
Carolina, Senator Butler says his people
seriously regret that a change in the Ad.
ministration is about to take place, and
they have the consolation of knowing
that they did all in their power to sustain
and continue the administration of Presi.
dent Cleveland. However deeply they
may deplore the change, which will de-.
priVe many meritorious persons of Federal
employment, they are not cast down, but
stimulated by the enterprising and indus.
trious spirit that prevails in all parts of
the State, and especially in the City of
Charleston. The business interests are
growing and spreading in every direction
and South Carolinians are determined to
succeed in business affairs, even il the
political horizon is rather dark at pres.
ent.
Senator Butler says he does not look
for any substantial aid or support from the
Harrison administration unless the inter.
ests of che Republican party demands it.
If the party leaders decres that certain
line of policy shall be maintained towards
the South neither Mr.. Harrison nor any
one man can prevent Its adoption. So
far as he is personally concerned the
Senator does not look with alarm upon
the situation, as he cannot and does not
believe that the exigence of the occusion,
from political standpoint, will prompt
the Republicans to resort to oppressive
and Objectionable methods in dealing
with the South. The industries of that
section are beginning to prosper, and it il
to the interest of the entire country that
they should not be disturbed by 9 political
upheavel. The Republicans will be enti.
tied to the Federal Offices after the 4th Of
March, and it will be to the interest of the
Harrison administration to try and select
the most worthy and unobjectionable
members in their party in The Southern
States. South Carolina is going to move
right along in the industrial channel
into which it has worked itself, and the
Democrats in the meantime will strive to
maintain control of the State Govern
ment and hope for the best in the future.

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER.
Min zen KILLED and Many Wounded by
the Sheriff7s Officers.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 1O.-Last
Tuesday the body of little girl was
found in East Lake, near this city. The
fact was established that she had been
murdered, and Wednesday the body was
identified as that of May Hawes, daughter
of r. R. Hawes, railroad engineer.
Circumstances pointed to the girls father
as her murderer. He was married in
Columbus, Miss, Wednesday evening,
though supposed to have wife in Bir.
mingham. On his arrival in Birming-
ham with his bride that night he was
arrested, charged with the murder. Then
it was learned that he had never been
divorced from his first wife, Mrs. Emma
Hawes, and that she had been missing
since Saturday week ago, as we'll as the
youngest child. Search for the woman's
body commenced at once, and soon addi.
tional circumstantial evidence against
Hawes was secured. Saturday evening
the body was found at the bottom of the
lake in LakevieW Park, two miles from
tae city. The head had been split open
with an axe, and the body was weighed
down with two hundred pounds of iron
tied about the neck and feet.
The other Hawes child has undoubted-
~ been murdered also, as its clothing,
covered with blood, was found concealed
under the house. Mrs. Hawes was prob>
ably murdered at the house, as blood
stains were found all over the floor.
Much damaging evidence against.
Hawes has been obtained. Every state
-ment he has made has been proven un-
true. When told of the finding of his
wife's body Hawes did not change color.
He had little to say except to deny ell
knowledge Of the crime. He is perfectly
cool, showing no traces of fear or SUR
prise. -

was told that mob was forming to storm

DOREMUS DEAD.
Hanged In HacLensack for killing His
Son--It Is Said That lie Died
Fully Penitent.

HAcKENsAcK, N. j., Dec. 2O.--John Myers
Doremus was hanged in the Jail here for the
murder of his 19-year-old son while the latter
was defending his mother from the abuse of
the murderer.
1t is believed that he died fully penitent
Doremus bade farewell TO all his visitors early
the night before. and spent most of the time
to midnight, at which hour he retired, in
chatting with the watch and making his final
preparations He sept only half an hour,
however, when he arose and remained awake
the remainder of the night
At $50 in the morning, after taking a
bath, be gave way to his poetical fancy and
wrote several rhymes, suggested by his APP
preaching execution, and hch he had prom
ised to one OF his fellow prisoners as a keep
sake. About o'clock his spiritual adviser
called aud remained with him until the hang
ing. The condemned ate a light breakfast
and avoided all discussions Of the execution
except what was said incidentally during
the time he was engaged with the Clergyman
About $50, when everything was ready,
the sheriff and hangman entered Doremus'
cell and read the death warrant At the
conclusion of the reading his arms were
pinioned, the black cap put upon his head
and the procession to the gallows begun.
Doremus was accompanied to the gallows
by the clergyman, who whispered words of
consolation as they proceeded. Arriving
under the crosstree Hangman Stagg affixed
the noose, and then stepping back touched
the spring which sent Doremus body bound
ing into .he ar. After hanging nearly thirty
minutes the body was cut down and turned
over to friends.

GRIM WAR IN HAYTL.
The First Real Battle Of the Rebel
lion Has Occurred.
SHELLS FOR INSURGENTS.
They Did No Harm. However. and the
Governments Suffered What Looks
Very Much Like Defeat--No
News from Our Gunboats.

New YORK, Dec 90 THE steamship Sagi-
nav, which brings the news Of the shelling
of Cape Haytian by Legitime's navy, was
released from quarantine this morning
and has come up to her pier in South Brook
lyn. Size appeared somewhat rusty and sea-
worn from her voyage.
Her commander, Capt Kelly, visited the
Office of his employers, w. p. Clyde a. Co,
and made a verbal report of what he knew
of Haytian affairs From his statement 1t
seems that the insurgents have gained what
practically amounts to a victory.
1t seems that on Dec. 4 three war vessels of
the Haytian government appeared in the
harbor of Port Hay San, the headquarters OF
the insurgents and began firing shells in the
direction of the city. Legitime's bombs fell
short of the most valuable portion of the
town and did not cause any damage worth
speaking Of The insurgents stronghold,
Fort Picollet, responded so effectually that
Legitime's war vessels were glad to get
away.
So far as was ascertained by Capt. Kelly
nobody was killed or wounded. The first
actual battle of the rebellion has taken place
without bloodshed but it is expected that
the next steamer from Haytian waters will
bring news of more sanguinary character
The residents OF Cape Haytian were thor
oughly frightened when the shells came
screaming through the air. They fled
from the place in thousands 1t was evil
dent that the principal object of the govern
ment in firing at the town was TO frighten
the insurgents. The commander Of the at
tacking fleet could have easily inflicted great
damage to property had he so desired. 1t
was believed that he would soon return to
make a second attack The three vessels, the
Dessalines, the Toussaut L'Ouverture and the
Beige, which were engaged in the lombard
ment carried guns which were capable of
throwing shot aud shell into the very center
Of the town, and they could have destroyed
the place within few hours
The real result of the affair at Cape Hay
tian is to make the prospect of peace
more remote than ever. The rebels claim a
victory, and boast that the government cam
not capture Port Haytian. On the other
hand, the government is thoroughly aroused
to the necessity of more efficient measures
against the insurgents.
At the Haytian consulate in New York the
news of the first real battle Of the rebellion
was received with deep regret. The vice
consul was unwilling TO say much in regard
to the affair. Ex-Consul General Bassett
was greatly disappointed, because lie had
hoped that the peace negotiations recently
attempted would result in the insurgents
laying down their arms and submitting to
the constituted government
