WAsmwaTON, June q.
The majority report IN the case OF Miller
versus Elliott from the Seventh South
Carolina district, has been submitted 10
~ house committee on elections by
Chairman Howell. The report is some
what sensational, Ina that af the very be-
ginning II declares thst the ehtire South
Carolina registration and election laws are
Unconstitutional. The basis for
this declaration as stated IN
the report. Is that the state Law
Imposes q number of restrictions
upon the exercise of suffrage which ara in
confiict with the state constitution.
Whereas, the constitution deprivss per-
son of the right of suffrage only upon con-
vietion for murder. felony. dueling and
treason, the state law prohibits the exer-
eise OF the right Of suffrage by persons
who were entitled to register In 1884 and
neglected 90 do 90; by those who moved
lnso the state aud neglected 10 register at
che first ensuing registration, apd by those
who sold their registration certificates FOR
valuable consideration.
The report states that number Of ne
groes have been compelled by poverty.
while waiting the masuring OF their cotton
crops, to negotiate their certificates TO
traders, who Immediately send them 10 po-
litical headquarters, with the result that the
negroes are permanently disfranchised.
The report recites the fact that In certain
precincts what amounted TO an educational
test land therefore any Illegal test was inn
posed by lettering the ballot boxes. which
we're separate Ia the case OF each Office,
and that voters were deceived by an in
tsntional shifting OF the boxes, so that The
judges Of election were able TO throw out
I'll Of the ballots cast In the wrong boxes.
There was. also, says the report, evidences
of ballot box stnfiing. Summing mp, II IL

Miller had majority OF T57, while II the

Pointers on Registration.

The registry agents opened their books
for the reception Of names Ionday.
There was a very light registration during
the day. At 6 p. m. James Carrier, agent
on the south side, reported only six names,
and Fl. ID. Bugkhardt had entered only
ten names.
Every man who expects to vote st the
coming election must register this year,
and every democrat should make it a
point to register. Don't put it off until
the last day, but go at once and see that
your name is properly entered.
The qualifications of voters are as fol
lows: First, he must be a citizen of the
United States provided, however, that a
man who has been heretofore n voter in
Montana on declaration of intention 10
become a citizen, shall not be deprived
of his vote until the expiration Of five
years from the time of adoption of the
state constitutional Second, he must
have resided in the state II year, and in
the county 30 days prior to the dav OF
| election.
Foreign born citizens must exhibit
their naturalization papers to the registry
agent, or give satisfactory reasons, under
affidavit, for the absence of such paper.
A voter must register within The dis
trict in which he expects to vote, altho
should he, after registering, remove from
that district, he can obtain from the reg
istry agent a certificate that will enabl,
him to register and vote in another dis
trict.

Striking knights Disguised.

ALBANY, Sept. 15.--It was learned to-
night from one of the detectives who
have been working on the New York
Central train wreckers case that the
whole fight when the wreckers are
brought up for trial will center on an
effort to save Herman. He said Herman
was a shrewd fellow and had been adj
mitted to all the councils of the Knights
and knew all the secrets, while the others
we're only tools and acted under his in
instructions, but Herman, it has been
learned from reliable sources, made a
written confession which duplicates five
men now in custody as being wreckers,
and from some source, i! is said, evidence
has been put into the hands of the rail-
road officials that will surely secure in
dictments and convictions.
The only trouble to be feared seems to
be that the jury which contains men
known to be in sympathy who Can be in
fuenced by the strikers.
The promised financial aid for the men
who took part in the now defunct strike,
arrived today. Each mar receives a mu-
nificent sum--some received 81 IS each
and others received as high rs $3.50 each,
Ex-strikers are thoroughly disguised and
it is believed that if they should eve
strike again it will @ be as members Of
the Knights of Labor, because there viii
be no railroad men In the organization,
The plttance they have received for five
weeks idleness has caused them to lose
all faith in their leaders. The latter say

Brennan and Mccarthy Fight.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The much talked
Of ten round bout with small gloves be-
tween heavy weight Mike Brennan,
champion of Montana, and Tommy Nc
Carthy of Buffalo, champion of western
New York, took place tonight in Knick-
erbocker rink, in a quiet New Jersey
town. While the men were slightly
known here by reputation there was :
great interest in the contest for the reason
that Brennan had fought 40 rounds
with Joe McCauliff and Jack Dempsey
has publicly expressed admiration for
McCarthy's skill. Mccarthy had the ad-
vantage in height, weight and reach,
standing six feet and weighing 1856 lbs,
to Brennan's five feet nine inches and
weight 1871 pounds. Mccarthy led and
planted several hard l%eft-handers on
Brennan's stomach. Brennan played for
the head but was not true in his arm and
Mccarthy easily avoided them. In the
third round, however, Brennan caught
his man on the nose and drew the first
blood.
The fighting then became interesting
and the ninth and tenth rounds were
slow, each man being willing to keep
away from each other. Jack McAuliffe
declared the match a draw,

Seattle to Portland.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer:, There is
great probability that the Union Pacific
and Great Northern will join in the con
struction of a line from Seattle to Port
land. At present both companies ire ut
work IN dead earnest on the construction
of separate lines. The Union Pacific is
at WORK at points all along the line be-
tween the Columbia river and Olympia.
The Great Northern has nearly COM
pleted It's surveys and secured It's right
Of way. Yet they realize that three
roads, including the Northern Pacific,
are not likely to find q paying business in
the section between Olympia and Port
land for several years to come.
Both the Union Pacific and Great
Northern are. determined to fight the
Northers Pacific in its own territory, but
they have no motive for fighting each
other, and they could bring the Northern
Pacific to terms quite as efectually and
with less expense by uniting than by
each building an independent line. 1t is
therefore probable that arrangements
will be made by which the Union Paci'
fc will build one-half the line between
Seattle and Portland and the Great Nor
thern the other half, each having a per
petual traffic arrangement upon the line
of the other.
They would not unite in the construc
ton Of the whole line through the me
dium of a company in which each sub
scribed half the stock, as there would b.
danger OF a "freeze out" whenever a dis
pute should occur.

The Issue Clearly stated.

HELENA, Sept 16.-[speclal to the
TR1BuNE.]-The democratic state cen
vention today nominated Judge W. W.
Dixon for congress. There was no state
officers to be nominated. The committee
on the platform did not report until very
late. 1t is devoted IN a large part to the
elimination Of the vote in precinct 81 of
ia votes of last year and called on the
good people of both parties to rebuke
that elimination by their votes this year.
1t advocates free coinage of silver; re-
duction of Indian reservations; passage
of lave preventing the requirement OF
mineral lands BY land grant railroads;
condemns the Mckinley and the force
bills and calls on congress for a reduction
of the revenue. The administrations OF
President Cleveland and Governor Toole
are commended, and the contest OF Martin
Maginnis and W.. A. Clark before the
United States senate is endorsed. Ihe
reference to Cleveland was received WITH
great applause and the mention OF his
name received a great ovation.
