CAROLINA'S PHOSPHATES.
The Miners Ask That the Royalty Be
Reduced TO so Cents a Ton.

The State Board Had offered Tenn
porary Reduction Owing to the
Losses Inflicted by the Storm-The
Fact That Florida Collects Only so
Cents Set Up by the Phosphate Men
in Justification of Their Request
Gov. Tillman Writes a Sharp Unfa-
vorable Reply.
Columbia, S. c., Oct 2O.-The phosphate
troubles in this state are getting more
pronounced, and the indications are that
mining will be suspended on account Of
the great losses by the storm. The state
board offered the companies a temporary
reduction of the royalty of 80 cents per
ton. In a long letter to the governor to-
day the phosphate men say: The total
reduction offered them by the board, in
Guiding the amount of rock on hand
when the storm came, would be
only $4,000, while it will cost $500, 600
to restore the plants. Even had
not the storm occurred they could not
have continued at that price and would
have had to stop. They say that they
are compelled to meet a fierce and in
creasing competition from Florida, which
state only charges 30 cents ton royalty.
The letter concludes by proposition to
the governor and state board of phOS-
phate commissioners that the royalty be
reduced to 80 cents ton for five years,
the contract to be sanctioned by the leg
islature
Gov TiIlman has sent the phosphate
men a breezy answer, in which he
regrets that the river mining
companies "seem disposed to drive
hard bargain with the state
and demand concessions which we can
nOtgiye.n He concludes: Il may as well
say once for all that the board considers
that it has made all the concessions pos
sible or proper, and it is unreasonable in
the miners to ask more. We will not
enter into any contract reducing the roy
atty to 80 cents ton for five years, nor
will we advise the legislature to make
any such agreement. The royalty in
Florida has nothing to do with
the royalty here, and then river
rock there cuts very small figure
in the market. We were under the
impression from what we saw in Beaufort
in September that some of the dredgcs
would be put to work in so days, and
that by Christmas at least half of them
would be mining ! do not know what
has been done towards restoring the in
dustry or whether it is intended to resume
mining at all, but the board is not respon-
sible for any delay, and any attempt to
drive the state into yielding any more
than it already has will fail. We had
just as well leave the rock in the river as
give it away The conditions offered
by the board at Beaufort were
as liberal and just as we felt
warranted in making, and unless they are
accepted at once and written notice given
the royalty on the rock on hand Aug p
will be collected at the rate of 81 .O5 ton
If you choose togo to the legislature and
make your plea there we have no obiec-
tion, but the board will not make any
change in the proposition already sub
mitted to you"

BOB BREWER IN LIMBO.
The Noted Desperate Captured While
Asleep in the Woods Near Macon.

asleep IN Cne WoOO6 N ear Macon.
Macon, Ga, Oct. 2O.-It is firmly be-
lieved that Bob Brewer, the noted negro
desperate who caused the riot in Jesup on
Christmas day two years ago, and is re
sponsible for the death of several men, is
at last behind the bars of the Bibb county
Jail
This morning the Telegraph contained
an account of how man recognized as
Brewer by people who knew him had
stolen ride on the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railroad and had de-
fed the train crew. He was heavily
armed it was said, and when last seen
was heading towards Macon
This morning Deputy Sheriff Riley
after reading the Telegraph's report, saw
the man in the woods about four miles
from the city, and from the nearest tele-
phone called for a posse. Sheriff West
colt and his deputies at once went out to
the place and surrounding the clump of
woods, closed in upon the desperate, who
was caught mapping with his rife across
his knees, He cooked the gun and would
have raised it, but for warning enforced
by the muzzle of a Winchester.
After being brought to the city and
placed in Jail the man was identified as
Bob Brewer by men who worked beside
him at Jesup and other points. He was
armed with Spencer rifle large Bowie
knife, and brace of formidable pistols
Additional evidence will be brought to-
morrow, when the man will be positively
identified.

ATLANTA's GAMBLERS.
The Grand Jury to Indict Men the

Police We're Inclined to Let Of.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct 20.-The grand jury,
which has more than once been accused of
shutting its eyes to facts, recently, has
at last been aroused from its lethargy
and has undertaken to indict the
many gentlemen recently arrested by
the police for gaming. Within the
past two months two gaming
clubs composed, one of prominent Off
Gals and business men and the other
of the swell sons of swell parents,
were pulled by the police. The first was
known as the Georgia club, and the other
as Little Monte Carlo. Both clubs had
pull" in city affairs, and the members
were permitted to deposit collateral and
forfeit it without appearing in court.
City cases only were made against them,
and they seemed in fair way TO evade
the clutches of the state law, although
the action of the police court in permit
ting this was in open disregard of that
law. A few nights ago, however, an ex-
pensiVe establishment managed by the
"profesh" was taken in They had
no 'pull," and state cases were
made without delay. Naturally, big
kick followed, and to-day Judge Lump
kin ordered the chief of police to hand
over his docket to the grand jury to serve
as evidence in indicting the members of
the Georgia Club and Little Monte Carlo,
who were so CONSIDERABLY treated by the
police department. The chief of police
and the detective department were sum
moned before the jury, and some sensa-
tional indictments will follow shortly.
