me Speakers stand Falls at the Meet
ing at Welterboro.
WATERFORD, s. c., Aug 5.-The state
campaign petered out here to-day in the
midst of drenching rain, general col
lapse of the platform and lot of promis-
cuons shindys The meeting was unevent-
full otherwise. The speakers were Messrs
Earle and Bratton, straightout candidates
for governor, aud Messrs. Tillman, Pope
and Mayfeld. The audience numbered
about 1000 persons, and the speaking
took place in the open air from a
platform, which twice collapsed and finally
went to pieces. 1t rained continuously, and
every one was drenched to the skin. Capt.
Tillman was compelled to suspend his re-
marks during the heaviest part of the
shower. He had hardly started when the
stand went down, carrying him and the
others with it. Then he mounted the little
piece that was left standing, and finished
his speech.
Gen. aEarle stood upon chair to deliver
his speech.
During the progress of the meeting there
vera several .skirmishes on the outskirts.
Sydney Back had mis- nose broken by the
town marshal. Herman Bach, who is a
straghtout, is painfully but not seriously
injured.
A half dozen other skirmishes occurred,
but with no serious results.
1t was altogether very disagreeable
affair, and everybody seems glad that it's
over,

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Aug. 3-The
wreck of a barge was washed ashore two
days ago. This morning an artist for Har-
per's Weekly was sketching the wreck,

that there was necessity for an inquest.
He mounted the barge and was astonished
to see the body of a man floating in the
wreck. The coroner took charge of the
wreck, which was then explored and three
bodies found. Her name or number cannot
be ascertained. She may be coal barge B.

FORCE BILL MEN GLUM.
THE CHANCE FOR ITS PASSAGE
NOW VERY SLIM.

A Change In the Senate Rules the Only
Way in Which it Could be Put
Through-The Senate Very Unlikely
TO Make the Change Desired
Lodges Hopes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Senator Hoar
returned to-day to find the force bill almost
in its grave. Johnny Davenport and Henry
Cabot Lodge, who had preceded him here
and had been examining the situation, had
nothing but Encouragement for him.
Speaker Reeds stoutdeclaration swere the
only comfort be found, and they were not
very strong, for, although by revoking
leaves of absence, sending personal tele-
grams and docking the salaries of absentees
ne can keep the House at something like a
quorum, he could not keep quorum in the
Senate even if he tried, any more than he
could make the Senate adopt his rules. The
independent utterances of Senators Plumb
and Teller, for which they were thanked by
received by them to-day, trouble Senator
Hoar greatly.
THE BILLS ONLY CHANCE.
The only chance the force bill had was In
change Of the rules, and that could only
be brought about by keeping the republi-
cans solid Senator Hoar never did like
Senator Plumb, whose rough tongue has
often wounded Senator Hoar's sensibilities,
but he likes him less than ever now Repre-
sentative Lodge was obliged to admit this
afternoon that there was slender chance
of passing the force bill this session. at

March 4, at the present rate
But Representative Lodge hopes to see
closure applied in some form by the repub-

through this session. This is the only hope
OF the force bill men, and it is a most for
lorn one.

A TRUCE WITH BLAINE.
THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO PUT
ON a SMILE.

All Try to Feel Confident That Presi-
dent Harrison Has Patched Up a
Compromise on the Reciprocity Ques-
stion-Talk OF Incorporating the
Agreement in the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-In anticipation
of favorable report from the President
upon his return tomorrow from the con-
ference with Secretary Blaine. the repubh-
can leaders in both houses have been trying
to preserve an appearance Of harmony on
the reciprocity question They have
stopped talking about. driving Secretary
Bla ne from the cabinet and from the party,
and are industriously circulating
the report that the President
has concluded most amicable
arrangement with Secretary Blaine, under
which Secretary Blaine's original reci-
prociry scheme embodied in the Hale
amendment, with its dangerous tendency
toward free wool. shall be abandoned, and
some well-souuding form of words which
can be construed as meaning reciprocity
based on free sugar, shall be put in the
tariff I'LL instead.
AS SUGGESTED BY ALDRICH-
This will probably be something in the
line of Senator Aldrich's suggestion, a pro-
vision giving the President discretionary
power to impose duties on sugar, coffee,
hides and other articles on the free list. The
ways and means republicans are talking
hopefully about accepting any amendment
Secretary Blaine and President Harrison
may agree on that will not impair the
integrity Of the Mckinley bill. 1t is not
certain that this excessive good feeling may
last but for the time being the leaders are
making the most of it. They see that the
Republican party turned a very sharp cor
ner very suddenly when Secretary Blaine
snatched the reins for minute from Presi-
dent Harrison's hands, but they think Secre-
tary Blaine and his followers will be con-
tent to drive more slowly now.

Green shot him. 1t was also proved that
there were two pillows on the couch and

House.

House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Representative
Morrow of California, from the committee
on foreign affairs, to-day reported to the
House a substitute for the bills on the SUBJ
ject of Chinese immigration. The bill re-

port dissenting from the action of the
majority upon the bill, as it is in
conflict with the treaty now existing

regulate, limit or suspend such coming or
residence, but may not absolutely prohibit

His Conviction.

The Trial Expected TO End To-day in
His Conviction.
DALLAS, GA, Aug. 5.-The sensational
Dale-Nutall bigamy case was begun here
to-day before Judge Maddox. The testi-
mony adduced TO prove the identity of Rev.
w. R. Dale, pastor Of an Atlanta church,
with j. o. H. Nutall, matchmaker 10
North Carolina, was about the same as that
brought out in the preliminary investiga-
tion. In addition, however, the state
produced two witnesses from North
Carolina who positively identified the
Atlanta pastor as the man whom they knew
some years ago as Nutall. The case must
turn on this question of identity. After
this testimony was given in, Dale altered his
line of defense and his lawyers moved that
the case be dismissed under the statute OF
Limitation. IL is thought this shows that
the case Of the defense has broken down,
even in their own estimation.
Judge Maddox has not yet passed upon
the motion. The trial is expected to end
tomorrow. IL is generally believed that
Dale will be convicted.
