ton is an independent. Mr.. Wanamaker had
promised, it is stated, not to remove Mr.. Gibbs
until his term had expired The following letter
from Senator Wade Hampton, now hunting on
his plantation in Mississippi, is published
today:
''GLEN ALLEN, Miss, Nov. 8.
The Hon. JOHN WANAMAKER:
Sir: The inclosed extract from South Caro-
lima paper has caused me great surprise. for
perhaps you may remember, if your memory
is not treacherous, your assurance to me a few
days ago that MIR. Gibbs should not be removed
until the expiration of his term in February
next
Not only did you do this but you voluntarily
assured me that, inasmuch as Columbia was my
post ofhce. you would when a successor to Mr..
Gibbs was to be appointed consult me- 1t is
matter OF small Importance to me who takes the
place OF Mr.. q bbs but 1 informed him In
passing through Columbia of the promise you
mad made you may perhaps understand how
your action has placed me in false position.
But 1t Is fortunate for me that Mr.. Gibbs will
know that at least told him the truth, though
was grlevously deceived in believing what
was said to me. l shall know better in future
what reliance to place on statements emanating
from the same source.
Inc newspapers state that besides managing
the great department over which you preside
you are running Sunday school in Philadel-
Phla, and 1t occurs to me that you might, with
pront TO yourself, select the most appropri-
ave SUBJECT OF lecture to your pupils the in
structive story of Ananias and Sapphira. This
would give you fine field for your eloquence
In explaining to your young charges the i'm
portance OF confning themselves to the truth
except when some fancied advantage might be
optained over political opponent l am your
obedient servant, WADE HAMPTON"

GA Sure Enough Rebel Flag >,

AUGUSTA, KY, Nov. l3.-After the iollifca-

democratic enthusiasts swung to the breeze a
sure enough rebel flag. 1t was put on the high
pole used by the signal service. 1t was beauti-

Wall Street Today.

New YORK, Nov. 13-The stock market opened
this morning with large volume Of business
and with prices generally from Is to * per cent
higher than last evenings figures. The temper
OF the speculation was evidently strong, but il
was met by special weakness in cotton oil
which dropped from "a TO 325s, and consider
able pressure upon most Of the leading stocks,
which resulted in declines of small fractions
throughout the list Atchison and Missouri
Pac4hc were most conspicuous in the decline
among the active stocks, the former losing q per
cent to 34;s, though among the low-priced
shares Wisconsin central retired per cent to
2S52. This Was followed by a reaction in which
richmond and West Point and Louisville aud
Nashville were most prominent. but the market
soon developed the dropping tendency again
and prices reached still lower figures in most
cases. There was a very even distribution of
the business with Atchison, Richmond and West
Point, Reading and Union Pacific leading among
the active shares OF the regular list, though
cotton oil was by far the most active stock AT
ii O'Clock the market was quiet and heavy at
fractional losses from the opening prices

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. l3.-There was consider
able excitement in the district court yesterday
afternoon. McHatton democratic. and Hamil-
ton, republican, rivals for the Office of Judge
were on hand determined to take a seat on the
bench. The republican and democratic sheriffs.
in anticipation of trouble, were on hand with a
large number of deputies. The city marshal,
acting on orders from the mayor. swore in
twenty special policemen, and these, armed
with Winchesters. were stationed around the
room. Judge DeWof was on the bench and
after hearing the arguments of the counsel for
both claimants declined to decide the question
and adjourned the court. Mediation immedi-
atey stepped up and took the seat. He di-
rected the democratic sheriff-elect to convene
the court. His orders were obeyed to the let
ter, and Hamilton the republican claimant.
with his followers, at once left the court. Ham,
llton will appeal to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus compelling Mediation to
show by what authority he assumed the Office

SMOKELESS POWDER.
Gen. Benet Says ii is an American Inven-
ton but Is Monopoiized Abroad.

The subject Of smokeless powder for mill
tary uses occupies considerable space in the
annual report Of Brig. Gen. Benet, chief of
ordnance, to the Secretary of War, which was
made public today. The report says: "In the
absence of suitable small arms powder there
has been no substantial progress in the
matter Of small caliber rife be-
yond what has been heretofore reported,
except In the negative gain resulting in the ap-
parent abandonment, or tendency that way,
abroad OF all powders but the so-called smoke
less. This change, involving the return to a
grained powder Is, if permanent, an appre-
ciable gain for all in economy and eff
cheney OF the product in the man.
ufacture of small-arm cartridges
and may have been brought about as much
from the difficulty Of obtaining uniform and
satisfactory results in the way of velocities and
pressures with the compressed powders as from
the more valuable properties OF the smokeess
No American has yet submitted for trial
q smokeless powder, and experiments with
compressed powders have shown the same
eccentricity as developed abroad tending to
destroy confidence in the final production of a
serviceable compressed powder cartridge. All
effort, official or otherwise. to date to obtain
smokeless powder has been abortive, and
American powder makers and chemists have
not yet awakened to the lucrative opportunity
presented to them.
ORIGINATED IN AMERICA.
There is reason to believe, from an applica-
ton made to an officer of the (ordnance)
department more than ten years ago, that
smokeless powders originated, like many other
inventions. in America, only to be brought to
the attention of the world in foreign countries,
although in this instance the person concerned
met with encouragement, of which he did not
avail himself
I'm view of the present status of the powder
question it is not deemed expedient to pro-
duce small caliber rifle for COM
pressed powder cartridges. Such a rifle,
however excellent in itself, would be
inferior to foreign arms using smokeless pow
ders, and consequently unsatisfactory to the
army and the country at large. 1t is believed,
however. that all the elements entering into
the problem, except the powder, are ready for
use the moment this powder is obtained.
A 80 caliber rod bayonet Springfield rifle has
been made. and rod bayonet 80 caliber
magazine arm is now in progress of construc-
tion in anticipation Of the final acquisition Of
the much-needed powder, so that no time may
be lost in presenting for trial both single load
ing and magazine small caliber rifles"

MEXICO FOR THE NEGRO.
Proposed Colonization of the Colored
Race There.

Cry OF MEXICO VIA GALVESTON, Nov 49,
Ellis, the Texas negro who proposes to colonize
American negroes in Mexico, is still in this city
striving to secure a concession from the gov
ernment in the interest of the proposed colony.
1t is asserted that Gen. Pacheco minister of
public works is greatly interested in Ellis
plans and is heartily in favor of granting the
concession. Other members of the government
are also said to favor it. SO there seems to be
little doubt that the concession will be given
and the colony established. The scheme. how
ever. will meet with strong opposition on the
part of the Mexican people, and negro colonIsts
are not likely to receive any encouraging
welcome. The feeling is general that in the
Indian peon class Mexico has as large an ele-

peace of Europe is not concurrei in by the

though the very existence of Turkey in Europe
is blot on modern civilization, that blot can
not be obliterated without deadly conflict in
volving all the great powers, SO it is in the in

must be let alone but has even endeavored to
excuse the atrocities committed in Albanian
and Crete.

1t Is commentary on modern humanity that
the rumored movement of Osman Digna north
ward has suggested to three of the powers that
this will furnish the first and most fortunate
opportunity to try the new smokeess powder
in actual warfare. While the unsuspecting
Musselmans are marching on with the equally
philanthropic object of sweeping the Christians
out OF Egypt as the first step TO establishing the
religion of the prophet everywhere Austria
and Germany are offering all the facilities in
their power to make the interesting experiment
a success, and English officers are no less
curious to give the new ammunition a fair and
intelligent trial. So the m ahdists encour-
tails of which are awaited by Stanley's friends
with painful anxiety, are marching unsuspect-
ing north to become involuntary promoters of
scientific knowledge on very satisfactory scale
and military scientists in several Christian
countries are awaiting the results with an INTEL
ligent interest and cheerful complacency.
