MEMORANDA. ". .

Inc question was: Whether the ele-
VatlOn OF the sea water in the storm
was the effect of Il temporary typhOon
or from Il subsistence of the land, occa-
stoned by the recent earthquake agita-
tiOnt
My impression was the former. |
thlnk the Government inquiry should
he encouraged; for If the earthquake
subSldence IL correct the islands would
no longer be habitable.
Can you give the history of Engineer
Barbots "Dench mark" on the Custom
House steps? When and by whom,
and for what was it put thereY Did it
represent high tide at any storm
when it was 80 placed? 1t cannot be a
mere arbitrary mark. 1t must repre-
sent something. This information is
necessary for its usefulness to the hy-
geographic bureau.
The "bench mark" may, Itself. have
subsidized in the earthquake or other
wise. The test mark might be the d;f.
terence in grade Of the South Carolina
Hallway from Aiken to the sea, If any
such exists. Mr.. DoCaradeuc may be
able to tell if it has varied since the
earthquake.

After tho Storm liz Over.

The following is the weekly bulletin
of the State Weather Bureau issued by
Director Harmon:
Rams, which were continued from
last week, have been excessive and con.
tinuos over all sections except portions
of the Riddle belt. Some localities
have had as many as five days Of rain
out OF the past seven, and some report
almost continuous rains from the 6 IN tO
the 10th. The temperature, while above
the normal, has not been accompanied
by sufficient sunshine.
PIEDMONT REGION.
The heat Of last week has opened cot.
ton In some sections too rapidly and
prematurely and accompanied by the
rains has proven very destructive. But
little picking has been done The rot
ting in the boil still continue although
somewhat checked by past few days of
sunshine. There is still complaints of
lust and that the plant Is going too
much to weed.
Corn blown down has been damaged
by the continued rain and lies rOttlng
on the ground; that on bottoms is com
plete!y ruined by frequent freShetS.
Fodder is nearly all lost. Potatoes
and peas are good although some sec
tions report them as r0ttine IN the fields.
Sorghum has been damaged about one.
third Of the crop.
Crops will not he much, if any bet
ter than last year.
MIDDLE BELT.
Cotton continues to open rapidly, but
shows much rust. There will not be
much of the late crop; it is not lintlng
well. Cotton is Still rotting on the
stalk, and picking is progressing slow
ly. The lint sticks in the burr, and is
hard to pick. The crop will be consd.
erably reduced from last year, and of Il
lower grade. In some sections cotton
picking has been entirely stopped by
rains. 1t is rottlng on bottom lands
and opening prtmaturely on higher
ground. That along the Great Pee Dee
is utterly ruined. Some few localities
report the crop doing well and picking
general.
Corn is being gathered in some coun
ties along the Savannah river but it i!
| generally rottlng in the field and can
| not be gathered owing 70 the miry con
dition of the ground. G. ,rdens are get
ting too much rain. Turnips poor
stand and much dying out. Newberry
reports sorghum making in full blast
Pea vine hay is being harvested; a fine
crop Of grass has grown In the fields
which many farmers are turning into
hay. Fodder will not be gathered
though the tops will he cut.
COAST REGION.
The rains have prevented ricA har-
VeSting. June rICe has recovered
some from the effects of the gale, but
the large freShetS now coming down
the rivers threatened 30 destroy what
rice Is left. Some estimates give the
loss to rice crop at 3.

cantured ArIstocratIc Gamblers.

VIENNA, January THE police yester-
day evening made a raid upon the Jockey
Club, on suspicion that illegal games were
being played in its rooms.
The card rooms were crowded at the
time with the elite of the arlstocratic and
diplomatic circles of Vienna and large
sunni of money were at stake.
The police seized $4,000 fiorins in cash
and checks, and took the names those pres
ent for future action.
The Prince de Monetenouvo, President
OF the Jockey Club, hastened 10 the Offices
of the Ministry OF Justice TO protest
against the action OF the police, and to ex-
plain that the course taken was uniustiha-
BILE.
The Prince was informed that the
Emperor himself has especially sane
toned the raid. He thereupon prom.
ised that gambling would cease at the
club. 1t is believed that the money
seized will be returned to its owners.

FRENCH AFFAIRS.
Tho Panama Affair still the Cause OF
Excitement and Alarm.

Paris, January THE government pre-
narations To suppress disorder in Paris are
not based upon any apprehension Whatever
of a Royalist outbreak, but upon the at
tempts OF the extreme Socialists TO arouse
an insurrection. The government does not
view even the Socialist movement Win
serious apprehension, and is conhdent OF
its ability to maintain order. Gen. Saus-
sier may be relied upon TO give loyal sup
port in the event of an outbreak, and the
troops under his command are believed
to be equally loyal. The mob OF Paris
no longer possesses the formidable
character which it exhibited IN the
days of the commune and OF AS. more
dangerous leaders in popular agitation are
under continued surveillance ana the mln-
istry OF the government is kept accurately
informed of any movement, no matter now
slight in the direction or disorderiy demon
strstion. The espionage in this party par
ticular is far moro thorough also less ootru-
sive and offensive than under the late en-
pire. The police could psralyize an ex-
treme socialist demonstration at any
moment by putting their hands upon the
leaders; but it is thought best 10 walt 1or
some open act of lawlessness before taking
such decisive conduct. 1t is believed
that in view of the energetic action OF the
government and the evident readiness to
suppress any uprising the more intelligent
leaders of the extremists will succeed IN
preventing an outbreak that could only re-
suit In preventing an outbreak that could
only result in the seveIest punishment for
all concerned.
The Panama scandal continues to grow
In magnitude, and although the examina-
tions are in secret enough leaks out TO keep
I'D public interest and excitement to the
highest strain. There is now no doubt that
NJ. Charles DeLesseps has sold the gov
ernment everything he knows. II is said
that when he completed his statement to
M. Franqueville, he expressed himself as
deeply relieved. He said that he had felt
for years that ne was bearing burden of
suspicion which ought 10 attach TO others.
The single desire of his father and OF him
self had been TO bring the Panama canal
enterprise to successful conclusion out
blackmailers had taken them by the
throats, and the Panama Co. had been COM
PEELED 10 buy the support and aid, which in
the interest of the good name Of France and
for the benefit of thousands OF French IN
yestors ought to have been given freely
and as a matter of public duty. Now that
he had told the truth, he said he felt as II a
great weight had been lifted from his mind
aud hoped that the people Of France would
place the responsibility where 1t belonged.
