COLUMBIA, s. c., June I2.-There
came very near being serious loss of
life on Broad river yesterday after
noon--an appalling accident which
would have cast Il gloom over the COM

party OF young men from the city,
many OF them being well-known bust

the canal to take Il sail up the river to
troscs Mill, at which point they were
to spend the heated part of the day,
take dinner, and return in the after
noon. They left on board the largest

COAST REGION


WASIITNGTDN, June 13.-In a state
ment concerning the operation of the
sherman silver act,. Secretary Carlisle
said today that under this act there
have been coined $29i0S, ,iGl, which
makes the total coinage Of silver dol
lars, unler all acts since 1873. Sii.,2yl. =
$50, or more than fifty times as much
as was coined during the previous pc.
Rod of eighty-one years. The Spcre.
tary OF the Treasury has purchased,
under the act of July II 1890, and now
holds In the vaults Of the Treasury. ln-
coined l24,!'22,0 ,032 fine Ounces Of silver
Dulilon which cost the people of the
nlted States Sill ,299, ,92O, and is worth
I0uay' at the market price Of silver,
SiO5,4l 1856, thus showing a loss of
$1O,S8S,53O. The records of the treas
ury Department show that during the
eleven months beginning May |, 1892,
ana ending May 81, 1893, the coin
treasury notes issued for the purchase
or silver bullion under the act of july
IL, 1890, amounted to $l9,9G1 1884, and
that during the same period the amount
OF such notes paid in gold was $i7, ,7l4,-
i'3. 1t thus appears that all the silver
bullion purchased during that time,
except $2,21G,Ol1 worth, was paid for
IN gold, while the bullion itself is
stored in the vaults OF the Treasury,
and can neither be sold nor used for
the payment of any kind Of obligation.
"llow long the government saall thus
be compelled to purchase silver nulliOn
and Increase the public debt by issuing
coin obligations in payment for it,"
says Secretary Carlisle, "is a question
which Congress alone can answer. 1t
IS evident that If this policy Is contin-
ued, and the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be compelled to issue bonds or
otherwise increase the interest bearing
public debt. 1t will be done for the prr-
pose of procuring gold with which to
pay for silver bullion purchased under
the act referred to-"

The Color Line Drawn.

NEw BEDFORD, Mass, June 12.-The
color line has been drawn in the Bor-
den trial and a lawsuit threatens. A
colored woman named Jackson was not
admitted to the trial to day. After
wards eight white ladies were admit
ted. A well known colOred man named
King gave up his seat to Miss Jackson
and was then excluded from the court
room because there was no seat for him
and he was not permitted to stand. lie
started suit upon the claim that the
color line had been drawn against Miss
Jackson.

Judge Bond to the Rescue

CHARLESTON, :. c., June 12.-It is
pretty well established that some inter
eStlng developments in dispensary mat
ters will be heard OF in the near future.
Some time ago The News and Courier
announced that preparations were
making for Il new fight against the
Evans law, and now it is well establish
ed that that prediction Is about to he
fulfilled. "A gentleman who said he got
ms information straight from one of
the retail liquor dealers of the city, told
Il Heportcr yesterday that in few DAYS
Two prominent young lawyers of this
city would leave Charleston for Balti
more, where they proposed to apply to
Judge Bond for an Injunction to pre-
vent the State from closing the bar
rooms until a chance had been given
OF testing the constitutionality
OF the law before tie United States
Supreme Court. Should Judge Bond
grant the restraining order the matter
would have to rest where it now is, I'M.
I'll some time during the next winter,
when the Supreme Court would have a
chance of deciding it once for all. The
movement is being made under the au-
spices OF the retail trade, and It Is said
that neither trouble nor expense will
be spared in carrying it Though. They
are, moreover, reported to be very SAN
gulne Of the success Of the scheme.
Dealers who secured their licenses for
the entire year are jubilant, while those
faint-hearted parties who got out six
months licenses are now feeling very
sore over the matter. Nobody knows,
OF course exactly what arguments will
be presented to the Judge, but it Is
said that the attorneys referred to are
confident that they have good case.
The retail dealers seem to think tn At if
the law is prevented from going into
effect until after the Legislature meets
next fall that that body will acknOWl-
edge the errors Of its ways and repeal
the Act. AS there is now very little
time left for action it is thought that
these developments will take place
within the Immediate future. The gen
tleman who furnished the information
thought that the next few days would
settle the whole matter in one way or
another.-NeH US and Courier.

The Law AZ to Shipments.

COLUMBIA, s. g., June I5.-AtLor-
Dey General Towns end has been asked
as TO the law OF manufacturing aud
shipping liquors IN the State and has
rendered the following opinion:
In answering the inquiry contained
in your recent letter, beg to say tina,
the dlspensary law does not prohibit
parties from making any kind OF liquors
which they may desire TO III IKE on their
own stills or on shares, provided they
either consume it at home or sell Il TO
the State Commissioner alone, or TO
persons outside the State; and provided
further, that when sold and shipped -
persons outside the State the package
must bear the certificate OF the State
Commissioner. Yours very truly,
ID. A. TOWNSEND,
Attorney General.
Attorney General Townsend says that
it ls his opinion that manufacturers VIII
not be allowed to get supply of ship
ment certificates or permits and use
them as occasion may require, but when
an order is received by manufacturer
he will have to notify the State Con-
missioner OF the number of packages
sold and to whom sold. The Commis-
siOner will then forward the manufacL-
urer the required number of certificates
for the Shipment. The board has made
no rule on this particular poiBt and may
arrange matters so as to avoid great
deal of trouble and dplav

The large gold shipments TO Europe
during the present week and the pros
pect that further heavy amounts will
be exported only emphasize the un-
favorable condition of our foreign
trade balances, says Bradstreet's.
There has, however, been a note
worthy absence of exaggerated appre-
hension in regard to the financial posi-
tion of the government or its ability
to maintain the convertability of the
silver portion of the currency. One
feature of the foreign exchange
market is now attracting attention,
and it is believed may ultimately ex-
ercise beneficial effect upon the bal
ance of trade. The flow of American
travel to Europe (Which usually trans
fers an indefinite but large amount of
money abroad) has fallen this spring
much below the average limits, while
on the other hand foreign banking
houses here are receiving an unpre-
cedented amount of credits for the use
of European travellers and exhibitors
at the fair.

Question of Annexation

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 49, Officers of
the revenue cutter Richard Rash, which
has arrived at this port IS days from
Honululu, are confident that there will
be no disturbance there SO long as nego
tiations are in progress. Lieutenant Nc
Connell says: "There is one strong de-
termination among all Americans who
have interests there, and that Is, that
they will Dever submit peacefully to the
re-establishment of monarchy under
any conditions. There will surely be
bloodshed if any attempt is made to re-
seat the queen. Springfield rifles are
kept loaded to resist such an attempt
and commissioner Blount Is fully aware
of this fact. The sentiment against an
nexation is fcmen,ed almost entirely by
British residents, but they are few and
have not much power. The natives as
great body do not seem to know or care
how the thing goes. TIE Japanese were
talking of side sensation, but not much
attention was paid to them" Being
asked if there was any probability that
the English would attempt to raise their
flag during the progress Of negotiations
with this country, Mcconnell said. mo
there is no probability of that, though
the British were anxiously awaiting her
msjesty's ship Hyocinths, which was ex
pected to arrive, and they may have
something in view. But they are in the
minority and are not expected to inter
tere." The Rush will remain in port for
several days and orders are expected to
proceed to Behring sea.

TELEGRAPHIC.
The Troubie Mt Brussels.

BRUSSELS, April IS-The night passed far
more quietly than the authorities expected,
though the outlook is still threatning. Dis
patches from all parts of the kingdom bring
disquieting news Disturbances occurred at
several places during the night. In Antwerp
today the outlook is more threatning than yes
terday despite the extra precautions to pre-
serve order. Two anarchists, who made
themselves particularly prominent in the agi-
tation, were arrested. The striking dock-la-
borers became riotous this morning, going
along the waterside and driving of the men at
work, until scattered by the police. The fer
ment continues in Brussels, the streets are
filled with excited workmen, and a feeling OF
uneasiness prevails. 1t was the intention to
hold demonstration in the park outside the
city today, but a strong force of troops placed
there prevented it. AS soon as the mob dis
persed at one place it gathered at another
throughout the morning, and each time only
scattered after fight with the police. A
number were severely wounded. The situa-
ton Is still threatning.
Fifteen thousand workmen assembled in
the suburban town of Molenbeck today. They
held an enthusiastic meeting, at which the
speakers declared they would sacrifice life, il
need be, to obtain suffrage. The authorities
did not interfere.
