The Status Quo Must be Restored.

WASHINGTON D. c., January 29.-Repre-
sentative Morrow, of California, who is the
chairman of the subcommittee of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, intends to call
the subcommittee together, AID get to work
at the earliest opportunity. BE says his
views upon the Samoan affair are positive,
and have been made known through the
resolution introduced by him in the house
last session. The status quo, at the time
the twenty representatives OF the United
States, Germany and England met, lac says,
must be restored; and this would nscss-
state the replacement of King MalietOa in
the position from which he was SO unjustly
removed by the German agents, and sent to
the Marshall Islands. This step, Morrow
insisted, must be a preliminary to any
further negotiations on the subject.

What He Says to "Taxpay er" Concern
ing Mai. Schwarz-

Editor Morning NetOs: / do not know
whether or not used the words attributed
to me by ''Taxpayer" in his article entitled
Fair Play, published in your paper Of
yesterday. If did not say, sin connection
with Maj. John Schwarz" that ian earnest
and Industrious enemy is at work, " ought
to hsve said so, for it is true, That Maj.
John Schwarz is earnest and industrious,
no man denies, and that he Is at
work, and has been at work by
himself and his agents, earnestly and in
dustriously, by day and by night, for weeks
aud for months, is known to all men, from
Bilbo's canal to Musgrove creek, and from
low water mark in the Savannah river to
the remotest precincts Of Frogtown.
The term enemy" meant, and could only
mean, in the connection in which it was
used, "the opposing force" and no one who
heard me understood il, or if possessed of
ordinary intelligence, could have under
stood it differently There was neither
"harshness" nor bitterness" expressed nor
intended. / have no unkind feelings to-
ward Maj. Schwarz, but 1 simply do not
think him the right man for mayor of Sa-

SOUTH CAR0LINA'S ROAD.
THE PRICE OF ITS SECURITIES
FALLS SO PER CENT.

Rumors that the Terminal Syndicate
is Apt to Scoop the Control-lnability
to Pay the Interest on the Second
Mortgage Bonds Causes the Tumble.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 3l.-The news
of the tumble in Wall street of the pricea of
South Carolina railway securities has
created some excitement here, although it
was not unexpected by those who have
watched the course of events in railroad
circles here recently. The news is to the
effect that the second mortgage bonds have
fallen from so to AS and the stock from to
5. A letter received from President Tai
mage by the local directors here states that
the company would be unable to meet the
interest on the second mortgage bonds,
maturing Jan. l.
MIR. sIMONDs SEEN.
Immediately on receipt Of this news the
correspondent interviewed Andrew 81
monds. president of the First national
bank, and one of the two local directors Of
the company. Mr.. Simonds admitted that
he had received letter from Mr.. Talmage.
There were, he said, about $1,000, 900 of
second mortgage bonds outstanding, most
of which were held in New York and Balt-
more The entire issue was 81 ,5OO,OOO but
the company still retained 100000. Presi-
dent Talmage had said that the company
would be unable to meet the interest on
these bonds.
THE PROBABLE CAUSE.
He didn't give any reason, but the suppo-
sition is that the fall freshets had something
to do with it. The first mortgage bonds
amounted to S., 600 and these are re-
parded as good. There is about 1000, 900
of stock outstanding and about 100000
of income bonds The first mortgage bonds
amount to about $5,00000O. The opinion
of Mr. Simonds is that there are other rail
road combinations who are anxious to Sc
cure control of the South Carolina railway,
which operates upward of 300 miles of road,
that these have secured control of the sec
ond mortgage bonds, and that it is their
uurpose to buy the road, and thus
wipe out the income bonds aud the stock.
This would leave debt of about So OO0, 900,
on which the roads can easily pay the inter
est.
CALHOUN MAY BE INTERESTED.
He refused to say what combination was
interested in the deal, but the general belief
is that it is the syndicate of which Pat Cal
houn is one of the leading lights-the West
Point Terminal-and this impression is re-
inforced by the fact that Mr.. Calhoun is
expected here shortly, his wife being here
already. Mr.. Simonds thinks the holders
of the second mortgage bonds will
lose nothing, as they will be the
real owners of the road after
the sale. A purchase by the second mort
gage bondholders would wipe out about
$1,000, 900 of liabilities and leave the road
In the hands Of the first and second mort
gage holders with a debt of not over Sc,
600 1000, which the earnings Of the road can
easily pay Most of the second mortgage
and income bonds and stock are held in
New York and Baltimore.

Constable Nathans Has Lively Tussle
With Negro.
Constable Isaac Nathans was struck over
the head and face with a whip staff and
billy" yesterday afternoon by an unruly
negro, and was considerably hurt. He re-
ceived a severe cash over the right eve and
several wounds on the head. Frank Scott,
a colored drayman, was his assailant.
The difficulty grew out of a refusal on
the part of the constable to pay the negro
90 cents for hauling part OF a load of levied
goods. The constable engaged Scott to
haul small load Of goods, add offered him
80 cents for his service. Scott took the
money, but said that it was not enough.
and tried to make the officer pay him more,
Nathans refused, saying that he was not
accustomed to paying more for piece
loads" when Scott charged him cheat
ing and swindling. The officer
ordered the negro out of the office. Scott
turned to go out, and remarked that if the
constable came out of the Office he would
'mash his mouth" The officer made an
effort to push the man out of the door,
when Scott struck him with a whip staff
The officer said that Scott then pulled
him out of the door and struck him several
times over the head. Somebody threw the
officer a billy during the scuffia,
but the negro got it before Nath-
ans did and showered singing
blows on the constable's face and head.
Justice Sheftall and two other men ran up
while Scott was on top Of the officer, and

aud handcuffed him. Justice Sheftall said
that Scott threatened him when he at
tempted to arrest him. A commitment
