WILL SHOOT
All Violators of Whiskey Law, So
Says Tillman.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 5-The
rough treatment accorded to Gov
ernOr Tillman dispensing spies in
Sumter and Charleston, has made
the governor angry. He has an
nounCed that he is going to
arm constables, and intends
to give them instructions to
shoot anybody who interfered
with them. Just as some news
paper men were about to leave the
executive chamber yesterday,
Governor Tillman walked over to
cabinet and opened a drawer;
in it were lot of belts;
another drawer was opened, and in
it were lot of large Colts army
revolvers. When Governor Till
man was asked what they were for
he replied: "Look at sections 517
and SIS and you will see." These
sections refer to arming con-
stables. "How many revolvers
have you got ?" was asked. Oh
all we need" as that. what they
are for?" That is one thing they
are Tor. am going TO issue lnStruc-
tions that men shall use them
when it is necessary. There are a
great many constables who are not
doing any arresting, but there
are plenty Of weapons for them"
Just as the reporters We're going
out Governor Tillman said point
ing to a small wooden box, "That,
is a box of cartridges" 1t was
suggested that Governor Tillman
was trying to scare the people,
and he promptly replied: ppm
going to issue an order for the
first one of the men to shoot when
he is struck. Pm not going to al
low the state constables to be made
dogs of by bar-keepers and their
followers"

Senator Walcott SAYS No!

DENVER, Col, Aug. Ex-senator
Walcott telegraphs the Times,
from Washington, as follows: "The
unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law is impossible; all claims
by the eastern men that enough
votes would be mustered in the
Senate to repeal the act are not true.
Naturally the silver men will not
be able perhaps, to secure the en-
actment of a law that seems to
have been entirely satisfactory,
but they are in position to force
the opposition to a compromise.
The situation is even better than l
anticipated it would be, few days
ago.

The Populist Campaign Begins

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5. - The
POpulists begin their campaign in
the south today. Gen. Weaver and
Watson are announced to speak in
North Carolina today. Simpson
and other national leaders will APP
pear in Virginia later this month.
The Third party people in the
southern states, and especially
those in Virginia and the two Car
olinas, are anxious to keep their
organizations in tune for the Con-
gressional campaign of next year,
and this in some measure accounts
for the systematic canvasses now
going on among the Alliance voters
of the states named.

Bitter.
Special to the LIGHT.

Special to the LIGHT.
AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 5.-The stu
alton at Austin is growing more
serious every day. The continued
drouths in the country above here
has caused the Colorado river to
be lower than at any previous date
for years past. The break in the
dam has necessitated the drawing
off the water in the big lake until
now it is in the old river channel
and exceedingly low. The reced-
ing waters have left great marshes
extended on both sides of the river
for the 80 miles of the lake. Into
these marshes for the past three
weeks unwary horses and cattle in
vain attempt to get water have
mired and disappeared from
sight. Great cracks have
been formed in the half dried
mud, and snakes and turtles
fall into those cracks and die. Fish
left in the pools are killed by the
hot sun and their decaying re-
mains add to the general stencil
that rises from the surroundings.
The water above the dam is rapid
ly becoming impregnated with all
this decaying animal matter, and
is exceedingly nOXiOus to both
taste and smell. The water below
the dam is shallow, exceedingly
so; so much so, in fact, that fish,
in trying to pass from one pool to
the other, are caught in the shall
low ripples and literally roasted
to death by the hot sun. Taken
all in all, the citizens Of Austin are
in the gravest kind of position.
Within the near future it will be
necessary to filter every particle of
drinking water or lay the city
liable to sickness from impure
water. Up in the mountains along
the old lake front the inhabitants
are even now in many places suf-
fering from fevers and the like.
The feeling up there is an exceed
ingly bitter one, and there is all
probability of Austin having fresh
trouble from that question. The
loss of many head Of stock and the
sickness of the people have not
combined to make them feel overly
good by any means. y. q. ,.

CUTTING DOWN
The Number of Trains and Men on
the Union Pacific.

DENVER, Col, Aug. BIN accord
ance with the instruction from
Omaha, the Union Pacific today
ordered a great reduction in the
operating department. The order
discontinues eight daily and two
bi-weekly trains, all within this
state. 1t is anticipated that the
roads running into this city, will,
in a very short time cut their run
ming force squarely in two. Every
mountain line has let men out,
until now they are running with
the lowest possible force, and on
all branch roads train men are
compelled to do their own switch
ing. Many of the discharged en-
ployes are complaining Of their
hardships, and there will be a
meeting tomorrow of local unions
to consider the matter, but there
seems to be no way out of the di-
fficulty, as the roads are doing no
business. A strike would be an
instant failure as there are 20 idle
"eady to take jobs of every one
Who should go out.

WHOLESALE DISCHARGE
Of Employees on the Southern Pa
clfic Railway.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 3
The Southern Pacific company in
pursuing a policy of retrenchment,
has discharged 1000 employees, de-
creasing its monthly pay roll
not less than $4,000, or at
the rate of 100000 annually.
The discharged men were on the
Pacific system on the lines west of
FL PasO, and east and south of
Portland. A reduction has also
been made on the Atlantic system,
east of Ell Paso, but just to what
extent is not known here.
These wholesale discharges of en-
ployes, is in addition to the recent
reductions Of daily hours of labor
in the various shops Of the sys-
tenn, for some time past to nine
hours day, has been the rule in
these shops, the men being always
paid by the hour. Now they are
working eight hours a day, which
is a 1919 reduction in time, and is
said to be equivalent to discharge
of six hundred men.

For the Great Cape May Cup.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-This is the
date fixed for the race for the Cape
May cup, in which Lord Dunra-
ven's cutter Nalkyrie and Mr.,
Royal Phelps Carroll's Navahoe
will take part. The Cape May
cup, it will be recalled, was won
in 1885 by the cutter Genesta,
owned by Sir Richard Sutton,
which went to America to attempt
to capture the Americas cup. In
the race for the Americas cup she
was defeated by the Puritan, but
subsequently she won the Cape
May and Brenton Reef cups from
American yachts, and the trophies
have since been in England. The
coure to be sailed this year for the
Cape May cup is from the Needles,
off the west coast Of the Isle of
Wight, to and around the break
water at CherbOurg, France, and
return,

SHIP ATTACKED
BY Natives-Vessel Burned and the
Crew Massacred.

Crew Massacred.
SAN Francisco, Aug. ). Adj
vices by an Australian steamer
state that a report has reached
Sydney that a Queensland labor
vessel, while engaged in recruiting,
off the coast of the Malayan
islands, was attacked and seized
by the natives. The white crew
was killed and the vessel first
looted, and then set on fire, and
burned to the waters edge. The
first intimation of the affair was
brought to Noumea, by labor
vessel, the Lady Stanbyn, which
had fallen into company with an
other vessel, which had natives
on board, who We're aware Of
of the circumstances. The plan
adopted by the chief at Malaga,
was to decoy the vessel to a certain
place on the coast, on promise of
supplying a number of recruits.
This was done after he had osten-
sibly shown his bona fideneSs, by
putting on board number of ma
tives. On the arrival of the vessel
at the rendezvous, she was sur
rounded by armed canoes and her
crew quickly dispatched by the
combined fires of the natives afioat
and those already taken aboard.

League Wheelmen Meet.

CHICAGO, Aug 5.-The cyclers of
the world will begin to gather here
today and tomorrow, prepared to
make a warm contest for the trO-
phies of the Columbian tourna-
ment. To say that $4,000 wheelmen
will gather here is putting it mild
ly, for the more enthusiastic of the
cyclers insist that it will reach
nearly 100000. There were almost
10000 at the Washington meet last
year, they say, and the Worlds
fair events will eclipse that in in

that the mile record will go as

expended in trophies, such as the

themselves to defile any Of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to

vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after.

departed, for his soul is supposed not to

death. On the fourth day there is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums of
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is a series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.

EccentrIcitles In Palaces.

The King of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had a palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and 80 live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has INDUCED in eccentricities Of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Gar aul, ancestor Of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full
uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia.
One of the native princes Of Java
cooled his palace by making stroam
fall in a cascade over the gateway, and

side his dinner table life size figure of

roar of the beast and the shrieks of the
victim being initiated by hidden machin-
