Small Riot.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. ia miniature
riot broke out in the court of Criminal
Correction at noon today. William
Wright, negro, had just been dis
charged on a charge of misdemeanor,
and was leaving the court room. Of
ficers attempted to arrest him on
another charge when his friends, be-
lieving that he was a victim of police
persecution, resisted and attempted to
release the prisoner. A furious strug-
gle ensued, during which clubs were
freely used and revolvers drawn. The
combattants surged back and forth
through the room overturning desks
and chairs, and it was necessary to
ring for reinforcements from police
headquarters before the row was
quelled. A prominent attorney mar
rowly escaped death from pistol shot
by officer Dewar. AS result of the
riot six persons were badly injured
and two detectives have been suspenn-
ed from the force pending an investi-

Senator Butler Speaks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Speahng OF
the South Carolina election laws and
of his course in appealing to the courts
to test their validity, Senator Butler
of South Carolina, said this morning
1.-The story, for beginning, goes
back to period twelve years ago
| when shrewd lawyers constructed and
caused to be enacted system of regis
tration and election laws calculated
solely for the purpose of preventing
even the remotest possibility of negro
domination, of which at that time the
people of the South were very much
afraid, under existing Federal election
laws.
1T put all elections in the State
practically under the control of the
State machine, and things, went just
the way the machine said. Of course
we all acquiessed in these laws fol
many years, for no one seemed to
think there was any harm in them:
To tell you the truth, never read
them or knew what was in them until
very recently.
1.-The people generally were very
well satisfied with this arrangement
of affairs, and for years things ran
along very smoothly-until the Till
NANTES, SO called, got hold of the ma
chine. Now it is charged that although
acting strictly under the law they have
disfranchised 100000 white voters and
elected Tillman to the Senate.
my term expires on the 4th OF
March next, and Ishall never be
candidate again for any political office.
But am interested in the peace and
good order of the State, and I say to
you, just so sure as these laws remain
unchanged shotguns will play prom,
inent part in future political cam,
paigns and voters will walk through
blood to the ballot boxes. That is why
am interested in the matter at the
present time. Nobody knew how bad
these laws were until the workings Of
the last campaign caused the people to
study them. They are so clearly un-
constitutional that there can be nc
doubt whatever as to the result. be-
ieve the Supreme Court of the State
will so decide.
II presume Tillman will come here
to take his seat on the 1st of nextDe-
cember, and the question of constitu-
tionality may then have not been de-
cided by the highest tribunal of the
land. In that case it is my belief that
the Senate itself would have the right
to decide as to whether the Legislature
that had chosen the Senator was con-
stitutional body or not"

like this.
Mr.. Finley's substitute was tabled
by a vote of "a to II as follows:
Yeas-Barton, Brice, Brown, Byrd,

Mr.. Watson moved to make the
board consist of the Governor, Secre-
tary of State and State Treasurer.
His amendment was tabled by vote
of 18 to IA, and Senator Efird's amend
ment then adopted. :,
Mr.. Finley then moved to amend by
requiring each marshal and police
man appointed under the bill to give
bond in the sum of $4,000, with sure.
ties approved by the police board OF
his city. ...
Mr.. Wilson said that was entirely
unusual; no politician ever gave bond:
Mr.. Finley rejoined that it was not
unusual. In one town in his own
county the policeman was required to
give bond. Aspolice appointed under
this Act will only be responsible to
the Governor, and will not be respon-
sfble to the local authorities, they
ought to be made to give bond.
Mr.. Wilson urged that the same pro
cess of reasoning would require the
giving of bonds by Trial Justices.
Mr.. Finley's amendment was then
tabled.
Eloquent speeches against the bill
were made by Senator Norris, Watson,
Finley, Barnwen, Buist, Sloan and
others, while Senators Wilson, May,
field, Efrd, Jordan and others advo-
Gated the passage of the bill. At the
conclusion of the speaking a motion
to strike the enacting words was lost
by vote of 13 to 81, as follows:
Yeas-Barnwell, Buist, Finley, Har'
rison, Kirkland, Miller, Moses, Now:
er, Norris, Ragin, Sloan, Turner and
Verdier.

Gala, Mcdaniel, O'Dell, Sanders,

Mr.. Watson announced that he was
paired with Mr.. Mauldin and would
have voted against the bill had the
latter been present.

Destitution in Nebraska.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 16.-A staff cor
respondent of the World-Herald sem
into the western part of the State to
investigate the reports of destitutlon
among the farmers, sends from North
Platte most distressing story. Most
of the renters have left the country
and few of the owners of land are IN
a prosperous condition. There have
been two successive crop failures. The
animals are also suffering, and unles.
food is sent for them they will not be
fit for work next spring. Some OF the
farmers are really in want and others
starving. Some supplies are coming
in from the East, but much more are
needed. Some of the farmers are liv-
ing on wild fruits.

Buffers Seat.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator
Butler, of South Carolina, has out
witted his successor, Governor Till
man, and Senator Allen, the Populist
from Nebraska, who were applicants
for the desk of the senior Senator
from South Carolina, in the front
row on the Democratic side Of the
chamber. AS soon as it became prob
able that Senator Butler would be de-
feated for reelection to the Senate by
his hated rival, Governor Tillman,
there was lively scramble for the
very desirable seat, which is located
Immediately in front of the Vice-Pres-
ident's chair between Senators Morgan
and Cockrell. Senator Allen and
Governor Tillman both wanted the
desk, and there are other Senators
who now have rear seats, who cast
longing eyes in the direction of the
desk which Senator Butler has occu-
pied for so many years. Within the
past week Senator j ones, of Arkansas,
has been occupying the seat of the
South Carolina Senator, while the
latter has moved his personal effects
to the desk formerly used by the Ar
kansas Senator in the front row, but
away around to tho extreme right of
the presiding officer. 1t appears that,
in order to prevent a Populist or a
Tillmanite from getting the much
coveted seat, Senator Butler and Sem
ator Jones exchanged seats. AS the
time draws near for Senator Butler to
relinquish his membership in the Sen
ate it becomes more difficult for him
to conceal his modification that Till
man is to succeed him. 1t is probable
that Senator Butler will leave Wash
ington for the. holidays and he may
not return to Washington again
while the present session of Congress
lasts. His wife is in poor health, and
he may decide to pass the winter at
his home in Edgetield. &

A Slander Refuted.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 18.-In the
debate onlthe metropolitan police bill
in the Senate yesterday, Senator May
field, of Barnwell, said that he had
been informed that secret instructions
had been given to the police of the city
of Columbia not to report any violat-
ors of the dispensary law upon penalty
of immediate dismissal from the force.
Mayor Sloan, who was present dur
ing the debate, felt that so serious a
charge from such a source should be
promptly refuted. He therefore gave
instructions to Chief DAILY to assemble
the entire police force of the city in
the city clerks Office att p. m. AT
that hour the men all appeared, and
upon being formedin in line, were briefly
informed by the mayor Of the charge
that had been made by Senator May
field on the floor of the Senate cham
ber. He then read over them the af-
fdavit which appears below, and ask
ed if they were all willing to swear to
it. Each man promptly responded
Eyes" and they were accordingly
sworn by Notary Public 9. M. Douglas
The affidavit is as follows:
We, the undersigned officers and
members of the police force of the
city of, Columbia s. Co., dc
solemnly swear that we have
never neither individually nor as
police officers, received orders from
the mayor, the city authorities or
from other sources, to the effect that
we chould not report violators of the
dispensary law.
We, and each of us, further swear
that we have never at any time stated
to senator Mayfeld or any one else
that such orders had been issued.
We, and each of us, further swear
that we have never been threatened
with discharge or any other punish
ment for making such report.

A Japanese matrimonial advertise

A japanese matrimonial advertise
ment reads: ga young lady wishes to
be married. She is very pretty, has
a rosy face framed in dark, curly hair,
eyebrows of the shape of half moons
and a small and beautiful mouth.
What other inducement does she Of
fer2 ''She is rich enough to admire,
by the side of a life companion, the
flowers by day and the stars by
night" All that she requires in turn
is that the youth must be a youth,
handsome and accomplished, and he
must be willing to share the grave of
his bride-that is, when it is eminent
ly proper that he should; she shows
no indecent haste in the matter.

out of Port Arthur, intending to dis
lodge the Japanese batteries on the
hill commanding the Chinese position.
Then began a tremendous artillery
fight. Within a few minutes regiment
after regiment could be seen
running in clouds of dust
across the head of the valley into
the ravine, leading to the support of
the Japanese artillery position. The
air was filed with shells and the
Chinese gradually concentrated their
fire, until the dust began to disappear
from the Western slope. The Chinese
columns marched out of Port Arthur
in three columns. One descended
from the two dragon forts and the
other two came out of the Port Arthur
Valley. The group was torn with
he lis as they marc he'd forward, but
they, never faltered for moment.
Within a quarter of a mile of the Ja-
panese artillery the Chinese line spread
itself out and wheeling to the left,
went straight for the hills to carry the
batteries by charge. The fire became
too hot and they lay down On their
faces with their banner poles stuck in
the ground, magnificent tragedy

"Within three minutes two shells
struck line exactly and tore great gaps
in it. Instantly every flag dropped,
and the Cinnamon took to their heels,
but in few minutes they reformed
and prepared to receive the Japanese

rower OF appointing police boards to
leases of willful neglect to enforce
the laws on the part of the municipal
authoritiesof any incorporated city OF
town."
Mr.. Finley then spoke briefly in ad'
vocacy of his proposed subltitute. The
Senators ought to look to the future.
He had included in his board such Of
ficials as to render 1t hardly probable
that those four gentlemen would ever
agree to any wrong. The law should
be freed from all charge of that cen.
tralizatfon which Is 50 foreign to our
doctrines of the past. He favored the
enforcement of all laws. While the
Dispensary law not exactly to his ik-
ing he had always obeyed itsnd advis.
ed obedience to It. In his own county
he had done much to secure compliance
with the law. The policy of the bill
should be to give the power to appoint
police only where the municipal autho-
rites refused or nelected to enforce the
law.
Mr.. Wilson said the friends of the
bill favored any amendments which
would improve it, but not such as
would cripple it. He placed Senator
Finley's amendment in the latter
class. Beside, he preferred the offici-
ais specified in Senator Efird's amend
ment.
Mr.. Finley stated he had favored
putting the Secretary of State on the
hoord until he WAS informed that that
official and the Governor are very
nearly related. He could not conceive
of tho law being forced on any city
or town whose officers were honestly
trying to do their duty. The board
should not have power at its mere
caprice to take charge of the munl'
cipal government of any town or city.
Other States have metropolitan police
Acts, but they are special Acts fol

IL lOF Guc PURPOSE VI oOOo0S: 80
Mr.. Efrd stated the condition of the
society and that the lack of $2,50O
might result in its ruin. 1t was al
most a State institution and the State
should support it. The last fair had
given general satisfaction, but the
hard times were felt by the society as
we'll as by others.
Col. Sloan spoke of the benefit the
annual fairs had been to theagricultu-
raj interests of the State; or how it
brought the farmers here in competl-
ton and improved their methods and
their stock, and urged that almost
every other State in the Union gives
aid to such associations.
Mr.. Mayield: us it not true that in
1893 liouor was sold on the ground
during the fair and when Governor
Tillman-"
Col. Sloan: "Oh, my friend has gone
crazy on the liquor question: l am not
discussing whiskey or whether it was
sold or not and I will not at this time
descend to the level of discussing that
question:; l am talking about a State
institution, conducted for the benefit
of the State of South Csrolina, and not
the whiskey question, and | beg that
the Senator from Barnwell will draw
the distinction"
Mr. Watson regretted exceedingly
the gentlemen from Barnwell had
brought up that question here. No ap-
preparation of 30, 500 made by the State
to Clemson College or for any other
purpose would bring the results this
money would. The time was when
the people of this State were satisfied
with any kind of stock; it was not so
now, and this fair had wrought the
change. 1t was valuable object les
son and one which he greatly valued
for his sons; they could spend four
days nowhere so profitably as at the
fair. They ask for this with no selfish

A RIoToUs YOUNG COUNT.
Count Won Hairach, an officer of the
guards, recently resigned his commission
and has been compelled to leave Berlin
on account of his riotous eccentricity.
His actions had become public scandal.
A few days ago he ordered twenty-five
cabs to be at his disposal at the Hotel
Bristol. After they had been drawn up
in row, he swung himself to the box of
the foremost one and drove of at a furi-
Gus pace, leaving the cabmeu to lose their
fares or race with him for them. 1t
the Restaurant Uhl, he gave great sup
per to the girls of the Linden theater,
and after everybody present had got
drunk he threw bottles through the mir
evening he appeared at the Westminster
hotel with pack of hounds and demand
ed that each be assigned to a carpeted
room for the night. The counts family
appealed to the emperor for help in curb
ing the young mans extravaganza and
thus it came about that the count left his
regiment and finally Berlin. He is now
in Dresden.

Bland's Bill to Consume the First
Part Of the Week in the House.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE one event of
the week Is expected to be the vote in the
House on the Bland seigniorage bill, pro-
viding that measure is not sidetracked be-
fore the last legislative stage is reached
II is not expected in any event that de-
cisive vote can be had before Wednesday
afternoon and probably not before Thurs
day. The chairman OF the COM
mtttee of the whole on Friday last
announced that upwards Of forty
gentlemen desired to speak
ON the bill. While it is not probable that
all OF this number will be heard, it is safe
to assume that more than twenty on the
list will attempt TO address the House at
greater or less length There cannot be
more than two hours debate on the bill
tomorrow, inasmuch as the Stanford eu-

should chose to insist on his rights Some
time during the week this matter Is sure
to come up. IL has been agreed that six
hours shall be set aside for the considera-
tion of this case, which will of course
carry it over to the following day before
a vote can be reached
After this case has been disposed of

SEVERAL CONFERENCES.

Previous to starting on his trip Secretary
Carlisle had several conferences with
members Of the Senate finance committee,
and they submitted TO him several sug-
gestions to be Incorporated in the tariff
bill, which he will consider in connec-
tion with the Wilson bill. Docu-
ments bearing on the tariff question
and the sources whence are devised the
principal receipts from internal revenue
were taken along by Secretary Carlisle
for consideration. So pressed for time
has been the Secretary of the Treasury
that recently for days together he has not
found 1t possible TO see his assistant sec
retaries and chief officials in the treasury
except on matters demanding immediate
and prompt action There Is one assist
ant secretary who will have uninterrupted
swing for several days at least.
