South Carolina Politics.

Il. X. Charles of Darlington county recently
addressed an open letter through the Ne,cs and
Courier to Judge Haskell. the anti-Tillman
candidate for governor, asking him to answer
publicly this inquiry: do you rest your pros
pect of election solely on the white democratic
vote. or do you and your friends intend to sup
piement your present following by appeal
TO the republican or negro vote and to tho ma
chinery of the election laws?"
The Nelrs and Courier today publishes Mr.
HaskelIs answer, III which he says: "Ycs, We
ask for the vote not only of every white demo-
crat, but OF every colored democrat aud every
white or colored republican entitled under the
laws of this state 10 vote. We ask them to vote
for us because We believe that our ticket is
composed Of men who earnestly desire good
government and who will to the best OF their
ability administer for the good of the whole
people in obedience to the pledges put forth in
the platform and utterances of the democratic
party established in 1873. On the other hand
we advise all citizens, without regard to party
and race, to vote against the Tillnan party,
which has repudiated, overthrow and trampled
under foot those solemn pledges which should
bind every democrat in tins state and which are
essential alike 30 the welfare and prosperity Of
either and both races"

Peculiar Case Of Poisoninu.

Four persons employed at the Quaker City
dye works, Howard and Oxford streets, Phila-
deIphia, were poisoned yesterday in a peculiar
manner. Two OF them will do. For a week
past chemist has been engaged in expert
menting with dye. Directly beneath the
laboratory is the dressing room in which the
street clothes Of the employees are kent 1t is
supposed that the ingredients used by the
chemist in his experiments formed compound
which produced prussic acid, and that some OF
the deadly fluid leaked through the floor OF the
laboratory to the dressing room and satu::
rated some Of the clothing there. Bernard
Hughes entered the dressing room about
noon and came out complaining OF feeling ill.
His face was OF indigo hue and no was conveyed
at once to 81. Mary's Hospital Ry the time
he reached the institution his heart had almost
ceased to beat. James Tighe. Walter SPELL
man and VIM. Eberhart who went into the
dressing room after Hughes. were seized with
the same symptoms. The two were taken to
the Same hospital and Eberhart was carried
home. A physician visited the dye works to
discover, ii possible. the cause OF the mons
illness. He at once detected the odor of
prussic acid, and although tho chemist denied
using 1t in his experiments, he learned enough
to convince HIM that other chemicals used had
formed the compound. The men had inhaled
the fumes OF tins deadly poison. The physi-
clans attending Hughes and Eberhart say they
VIII probably die. Tighe and Spellman in
hailed less of the poison and their cases are not
80 dangerous, although they are still very sick

AN OLD CANAL CLAIM,
Reminder of n Company In Which Gen.
Washington Was Interested.

In the case of J. S. Brown ct al. against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company VIM. II.
Marbury has, by Linden Kent, fled petition
to become party complainant and asking that
his claim for S7,9S6.s3, with interest from July
6, 1910, be declared prior lien and be paid
before the mortgages are satisfied This claim
Is probably the oldest growing cut of the assets
OF the Potomac Company organized in 1884.
The plaintiff files with the petition sketch of
his claim. 1t shows that the Bank of Alexan-
dria was one of the stockholders of the Poto-
mac Company, of which Gen. Washington was
protector; that the canal company took pos
session Of the works of the Potomac Company
and assumed its indebtedness, and that the act
Incorporating the canal company provided
that las long asthere should be any creditor
OF the Potomac Company who shall have not
vested his demand against the same in Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal stock the canal company
shall be obliged to pay to such creditors such
dividend or portions of net amount of the
revenues of the Potomac Company on an aver
age CT the last five years OF its existence as
the demands of the creditors at that time may
bear 20 the whole debt of Sl75. SEQ, but which
are supposed 10 have been about per cent on

pany be not included"
In April. 1884, the directors Of the canal
company resolved TO provide for the payment
or those dlv1dCnQs TO such creditors should
accept the terms before July /, 1896. the pay

indispensable for the completion OF the canal

Bank of Alexandria had failed and the claim
had been transferred to the Bank of Potomac,
and that Phlneas Janney, president, accepted
the terms and the canal company executed its
bond TO that bank for the amount with inter-
est from January l, 1886. Interest was paid to
July ]. 1910. and the bond was transferred to

The members of the government board Of in
spection and survey, comprising Rear Admiral
Lewis, A. Kimberly, Capt. Henry Erben, Chief
Engineer W. q. Beuhler, Lieut.. L. c. Logan
and Naval Constructor John F. Hanscom, went
to Wilmington yesterday to inspect and report
on the new steam life boat constructed by
Capt Francis L. Norton. The peculiar advan-
tage claimed by Capt. Norton for his boat is
that it cannot be capsized. The vessel has q
double hull. The water Ia admitted to the in
tervening space by holes in the external hull
This virtually floats on the inside shell and
floats the outer hull. The WINGS or bilges, at
the sides are filed with air, which is COM
pressed by the water and acts as cushion,
preventing capsizing or rolling. Capt. Norton
will start on November on trip across the
Atlantic. Tho dimensions of the boat
are: Length over all, SO feet; beam,
l2T feet; depth, 611 feet; dsplace-
ment Is tons. Tho compound surface con-
densing engines which the Pussy 4 Jones Com
pany have placed in the yacht have cylinders
of So and 10 inches diameter and inches
stroke. The propeller is three .bladed and 8
feet in diameter: The boiler is 511ax5 feet and
is tested to stand pressure Of 1870 pounds to

CHARGES AGAINST STANLEY,
Sensational Statements From Mai. Bart
telot's Diaries and Letters.

The ''diaries and letters Of Mai Bartteiot,"
the murdered commander of Stanley's rear
guard, were published in London Yesterday.
They contain serious charges against the
African explorer. the book having been edited
by the dead mans brother, Walter Barttelott
who, in the preface says: 1T is not likely that
this book would have been written, or one
word OF its contents ever published, had JUS
tice been even partially done or any kindness
shown by the leader of the expedition to the
officer who was left at Yamburga with his I'M
pediment, stores and baggage"
Charges of naliSnity ingratitude, misrepre-
seEtatlOn and desertion are then brought
against Stanley. Beside other less important
accusations, the issue presented is whether the
msfortuneg o! the rear column were due to the
Indecisiou of Major Barttelot and that of his
companions, or whether Stanley himself was
primarily responsible. In his book Mr.. Stan
ley finds fault because they did not follow the
advance column directed. Mr.. Barttelot
claims that his brothers diaries and letters, as
well as the testimony OF the surviving officers,
show that Stanley made it utterly impossible to
carry out his orders, as he took all the strong
men aud those of good character with him,
leaving to the rear guard tho sick, feeble and
incorrigible.
Mai Bart,eiot's diaries show that Stanley
threatened to blast his reputation with Lord
writing to Maj. Tottenham. In referring to
this incident Alr. Barttelot gives his brothers
words: "Afterward, turning to me, Mr.. Stan
Icy said that 1t was in his power to ruin me III
the service. / said TO him that this was an
empty threat. as it would take great deal
more than he could say to do that He pun
ished me afterward by making me march to
Leopoldville with seventy men who were noted
for lazIness and incapacitatcd for carrying
loads. warning me that if lost single load to
look out"
This expose OF Stanley's character, as shown
up by the diaries and letters, make spicy read
ing. Tho story includes account of a
quarrel between Stanley and Jephson, on
which occasion Stanley offered to fight him. The
publication has caused a great sensation in Dub
lin, and the papers are unanimous in express
ing the opinion that it was indiscreet, to say the
least, to print what Bartteiot. man avowediy
of Il hasty temper. never intended should see
the light. but that. however this may be, the
charges call for a full and candid answer. Mr.
Stanley refuses to be interviewed on the SUBJ
iect.
