The Whiskey War.

tails Of the killing which occurred in Darling
ton last week.
The State constables were run out OF Oar
l.ngton. where they had gone to suppress the
Illicit sale Of liquor.
The Governor ordered out the militia. The
Columbia and Charleston companies refused
to respond.
The Newberry company responded, but ire
signed" after going to Columbia The Gov
ernor refused TO accept their designations,
but dismissed them from the service az un-
worthy.
The citizens OF Columbia rose in great mum.
bers, and their manner had the appearance
of an effort to bull doze the country militia,
who had done their duty in obeying :orders.
For q while there was great excitement and
it seemed that the mobs of Columbia, OAR
lington and Florence would have things
their own way.
But the history OF this uprising and this re-
sistance Of lawful authority will not be diner
ent nom the history OF every other effort oi
the same kind in this country,
Mobs can never run this government
Such thing might be done in some Of the
little island or small governments, but in this
country no such thing Is possible.
While each State is independent In itself,
yet it is part OF the entire union and on the
call OF the Governor the soldiers Of the Re
public could be massed to the defence OF the
least State In the Union.
y There is in the hearts Of the American peo-
pie and love for law and order. and the vast
majority Of them would prefer to obey an OBJ
noxious law than to submit to the tyrannical
and unreasonable rule Of the mob.
At the present time, and at this distance, 1t
seems that Columbia in her uprising made
mob signal aud ignominious failure.
Their citizens must be in a most humilia-
Ing position.
They made away with the guns of the mill
tary companies, and now they have received
peremptory orders to return them, and they
will be required to return them.
The destruction OF the dispensaries at Flor
ence and Timmonsyille, sr bjects these cor
porations to tax sufficient TO make good the
loss, and in such .lawlessness and vandalism
they inflicted wrong only upon themselves.
The State at large will likely lose nothing.
All this violence and bloodshed, and all
this excitement from one end Of the country
tothe other is brought about because OF the
Governors effort to enforce the law In refer
erence to the sale Of liquor.
The liquor men in the cities are so numer-
ous, and their power in politics is 80 great
that they dominate the cities, and the news
papers have labored in season and out Of sea-
son to bring the law into disrepute. and this
insurrection is brought about in consequence
OF the law which attempts to regulate the traf.
fic In Intoxicating liquor.
But, It is fair to presume that the moral
and temperance men in this State, together
with all other law-abiding citizens will be
sufficiently strong to preserve law and Or
der.
There is no need for anybody to lose any
sleep abont this affair. The militia are on
the field, and their presence insures peace.
Mobs don't fight the militia.

Capt, +. W. R. Nance:
We have just reached our quarters for the

minutes; were ordered on to this place. We
are thirteen companies strong-about six
hundred and eighty men In all. We reached
this place (Darlington) just in time to save
the Sheriff from being lynched. The Sheriff
took McLendon (the wounded constable who
was In jail here) over into North Carolina
last night and turned him Loose. The mob
had collected at the jail about the time we
reached here. All Is quiet just now can't
say how long quiet will prevail.
We are stopping with DR.. Wilcox, the man
who caused the whole fuss. He Is treating
our ooys all o. K. but I can see HI In bis
eyes. (Excuse the remark.) He says he 10
determined To see the thing through. That
he has two thousand men that he can bring
here by noon tomorrow.
We are in for a time. Boys are ali lying
on naked floor. DR.. Wilcox has just sent In
coffee for us. Henry Moore is keeping up
the fun. At Sumter big crowd was at the
depot, also at other stations. Some OF the
constabes have left the swamp and gone 10
North Carolina. Citizens are wild with ex-
element. II is nearly one O'Clock. so good
night. j. r. Kennedy.

INDICTED FOR MURDER.
The Grand Jury Defines Prices
 Crime.
On the Civil Side Nothing is Done, Though Mountain Of Bus
 mess Is Moved.

Wm. Price, the slayer of Wm. Shnr- bert, was yesterday indicted by the grand jury for murder. The friends ot Price had not indulged in the extrava- gant hope that the charge against him might be dismissed, but they did hope that he might be indicted for man. slaughter or for a crime of some less degree than murder.
 4 cloud of witnesses were examined. but nothing could be drawn out in support of the theory of self defense. The defense, however, has secured this advantage, or rather it has guarded against the disadvantage of going inso trial with it's plan of campaign already made public. The only other case in- cluded in the grand jurv's report WAS that of Nuilez, held for sssimple felony, He was discharged. Several otber cases were under consideration. Among them was that of II. B. Crouch for the killing of Leon. The finding will be made known in today's report.
 On the civil side mountain of busi- ness was moved, but nothing was fin- ished. The Giia Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company case was again continued until today.
 The remainder of the docket was gone oyer and the day was spent in demurrers and arguments upon law points.

COURTED BY TELEPHONE.
Bills for a Democratic State
 Committee to Pay.
A Clerk Did His Courtina Oyer the Wire and the Messages Were

Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 NEW YoRK, Nov. 13.-Charles R. De- Freest, chief clerk of the Democratic state committee, was astonished to find the committee charged with $17.50 for tele ephone xpenscs to Rochester. Think as he would he could not recall any thing which necessitated so many mes sages to Rochester.
 He had in his employ as a wrapper of mall and packages young man named Joseph, whose home is in Rochester. MT. DeFreest was about to interrogate Joseph when he heard some one call up Rochester on'the telephone in the ad- joining room.
 The chief clerk listened and heard a garbled conversation, which indicated that the boy was saying sweet things to a girl, who was evidently replying in kind.
 Mir. DeFreest interrogated Joseph, and extracted from him a confession that he had teen carrying on his court ing by telephone with his girl in Rochester.
 Ut was easier than writing," said Joseph, "and I could tell her more than I'd be able to write."

S3.OOO.OOO.

The sum offered by MT. Vanderbilt was computed alter long and careful consideration by the family lawyers. It is understood to be s 00G,000. As a wife of a multi-mill1onaire Mrs. Van derbilt has naturally a right to 8 very large sum as dower She is not, how ever, considered to be the injured party in the case, and her hus bands generos- ity to her and to her impecuuious rela- tlves has been in the past unstinted. It is, therefore, held that she is very fairly treated in receiving an amount of money somewhat larger than the law would possibly require. She will take the sum mentioned in place of alimony and of her right of dover. The splen- did establishment in which che is now living, known as the Marble House, " on Bellevue avenue, Newport, was a gift to her in former years from MT. Vanderbilt, and this represents nearly, if not quite, $2,000000. The dwelling cost about $1. .0O0,000, and the interior has been filled with the most expensive furniture, hangings and decorations. There has also been vast outlay of money on the grounds.
 
 during the summer of 1892 and Mrs. Wander bilt and her children lived in it for three or four months at that time. It was late Tn the season that the yacht Ava, with MT. Vanderbilt on board was wrecked near Boston. The follow ing winter Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt and her family lived in the residence on the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-second street. They returned to Marble house, Newport, for the summer of 1893. MT. Vanderbilt WAS then in England watch ing the construction of his new steam yacht. the Valiant, in which he sailed to this side in August, 1894. Two months later the Valiant sailed with a party on board that included MT. and Mrs. Wm. K. Vanderbilt, MT. Oliver Hazard. Perry Belmont, MT. Louis Webb, Mir. Frederick O'Beach and Dr. Edward L. Reyes.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Within the past fortnight the final financial ar engagements are said to have been made between MT. and Mrs. Wm. K. Wander bilt and suit for divorce will be begun under the laws of Rhode Island. Col. William Jay has been acting as the representative of Mrs. Vanderbils since the quarrel was made public some months ago. Col. Jay, who went abroad late last spring with Mrs. Jay, has no doubt accomplished all that is possible in the interest of his client. He is trusted friend of MT. Wm. K. Vanderbilt, and therefore we'll fitted for his task. Col. Jay, arrived in the city last week, and Mrs. Wm. K. Wander bilt came from New York to meet him. In brief interview the terms agreed to by Mir. Vanderbilt were made known and Col. Jay returned to New York with Mrs. Vanderbilt.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-Advices from Tien Tsin announce that the Chinese have secured from Hong Kong and Shanghai banks loan of ten mil lion taels at seven per cent. With this money several ships ot Chili's navy are to be purchased. If the present inten- tion IS carried out, it is reported that two wealthy Tien Tsin merchants have united to make up the fund of one mil lion taels, repayment of which, with interest, is secured by the customs de- partment.
 The viceroys of several provinces are said to have declared their readiness to supply amounts at which they have been variously assessed, ranging from four to ten million taels. For the first time in Chinese history, it is stated, !, these sums are eventually to be re- funded and interest allowed. Hither- to the provincial rulers have been compelled to fill the imperial treasury without hope of other remuneration than the bestowal of increased rank upon the principal officials concerned. This circumstance that they now ven- ture to demand that these advances be considered loans, instead of a gift, is held to be significant of the central governments waning authority. But however obtained, the Tsung Lii Ysmen is elated at the prospect of amassing 125, ,00O, ,0OO taels before the end of the year, that being the promised total.
 The exodus of foreigners from Pekin continues. The British minister has peremptorily ordered his countrymen to leave, and if any aliens remain it will be without the sanction of their diplo- matic representatives who do not un- dertake to guarantee their safety.

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Return.

It is now a month since Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt returned from Europe and went to the Marble house, Newport. The divorce laws of Rhode Island are not difficult. Mrs. Vanderbilt has lived there for the necessary time to enable her to bring suit. as Marble house is really her home. Her sister, Miss Ar mide Smith, who has resided here in 6 house not far from the Vanderbilt resi- dence, joined Mrs. Wm. K. Vanderbilt in Paris and came over with her on the Lucania. Miss Smith has since been Mrs. Vanderbilt's guest at Marble house.
 MT. W. K. Vanderbilt's relatives are thoroughly in accord with him, and they have shown no sympathetic inter- est in Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt since her return. This was plainly shown on her arrival in New York. She was, it is said, highly incensed at the fact that only one-half of the Marble House had been opened, and thought it showed an intention to slight her. The windo Hs and doors of the entire place had been boarded up in the usual Newport fash ion.
 Since her arrival in Newport, Mrs. Vanderbilt has secluded herself. She drives out daily for couple of hours and is invariably alone in her phaeton. which are the highest steppers on the Ocean drive. Although Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt is fond of horses. she will probably not be seen at the coming horse show.
 While Mrs. Vanderbilt will have the legal custody of her children it is be-
