TILLMAN UNDER A HOT FIRE.
B. F. Perry Accuses the Governor Of
Receiving Brides.

He Alleges That Tillman Received a
Rebate From the whisky Trust
Amounting to Many Thousand Dol
lars-He Also Alleges That the Gov
ernor Got Good Slice Out Of the Port
Royal Suit aad the Rhind Commission
for Refunding the State Debt.
Columbia, S. c.. Dec. 7.-Quite sensa-
ton was caused here tonight by the circu-
lation among the members of the general
assembly in pamphlet form Of a letter
written by b. F. Perry, a Carolinian.
now in Washington. and bearing date of
Washington, Dec. !, to Josh w. Ashley,
a member Of the House, charging ex-
Gov. Tillman with receiving all kinds of
rebates and other dishonest transactions,
and urging Mr.. Ashley to call on the legis-
lature for the appointment OF a commit
tee 20 investigate the matter. He says
in the letter: Gov. TilIman denied at
Union during the canvass that he had ever
received the rebate Of cents gallon on
the whisky he bought from the whisky
trust. am creditably informed that he
did receive the rebate. and check was
sent him for the amount and he returned
the check and asked them to send the
money in currency by express; that the
money was sent and received by Gov.
Tillman, amounting to many thousands
of dollars, that ought to have gone to the
credit of the Taxpayers. Furthermore, I
am informed that the railroad company
that transported the liquor paid Gov. Till
man a rebate on the freight.
II understand that Gov. Tillman got a
good slice out of that Port Royal law
suit and that is the reason why Gov. Till
man is afraid of Senator Irby. There is
no doubt that Gov. Tillman and John
Evans got a good slice out of the $11S,0OO
given to Rhind in funding the state debt
Why don't you demand that committee
investigate these things? The people
ought to know the truth, and II they are
not true Tillman, Evans and Irby ought
to have the benefit OF it.
There is something rotten, and you
ought to investigate these rascalities.
In a postscript Mr.. Perry says: You
may publish the above IL you wish"
There is a considerable stir over the
matter. Ex-Gov. Tillmans friends do not
believe any such charges.

WAR ON THE UrFs.

Them Out of Utah.

Washington. Dec. THE Secretary Of
the Interior has received a telegram from
Gov. West of Utah saying that it is neces-
sary that the Southern Utes, now in
Utah, should be driven from the territory
as there is likely to be trouble between
them and the white settlers. He asks for
troops for this work, and says that IL he
does not secure them he will have to take
measures to protect his settlers. This is
the second request made by the governor
Of Utah for troops for the purpose OF ex-
pelling the Utes from his territory, but
the Secretary Of the Interior is not dis
posed to request troops from the war de-
partment 1t is said, as he does not be-
lieve that matters are as serious as repre-
sented by Gov. West. The last request
has been sent to the war department for
the information of the officials there to be
given to Gen. McCook, commanding the
department of Colorado, for such action
as he may deem proper.
Reports received from Agent Day of the
Ute agency, at the Indian bureau here
contain exactly contrary information to
that contained in the governors tele-
gram.

MASSACRE OF THE ARMENIANs.
Russia Afraid to Interfere for Inter
national Reasons.

New York, Dec. IA special cable dis
patch to the Herald from st. Peters
burg says: 1.-THE Russian press unani-
mously repudiates the idea of interven-
tion by Russia in the affairs Of Armenia
Such Intervention, 1t is pointed out. could
only result in International complications
of a dangerous character, inasmuch as Il
would involve playing into the hands of
both England and Austria. Government
circles here are quite OF this opinion

Thursday dispatched an invitation to the
President Of the United States to partici-
pate through a representative in a mixed

tion, but intimated willingness to permit
an American representative to accom-
pany the proposed commission in an inde-
pendent capacity. The sultan thereupon
cabed 10 the President, inviting the ap-
pointment Of such representative, and
yesterday learned that the United States
would accept the modified invitation.

Armenia society called to-day at the Rus
sian, French, German, Austrian and Ital-
ian embassies and presented a petition ap-
pealing to the powers to remember the

ALL NOT GOLD THAT aL1TrERs.

ridian Prove to Be Brass.

New Orleans, Dec. 7.-Ernest Yeager OF
Florida, who is in the city to-day, is
either crazy or he has been badly victims
lied by gold brick swindlers. Yeager arr
rived this morning on a Louisville and
Nashville train. His baggage included a
small trunk. AS soon as the train pulled
into the depot he got Off and hailed a
cabman, after loading his baggage in the
vehicle, and asked to be driven to the
mint. When he reached there he changed
his mind and said he desired to go to the
custom house. Finally he returned to the
mint and said he had some gold bricks
TO sell. He had no key to his trunk, how
ever. and in much perturbation of spirit,
was taken to the police station at his own
request. Corporal Capo got a locksmith
for him and the trunk was opened. 1t was
found to contain couple of metal bricks
which Yeager and the cabnlan took down
to the mint An examination at the mint
showed that the bricks were brass. Yea
ger said he had paid $1,000 for them and
had been told they were worth $1,000.
The man is being detained while the
case Is undergoing investigation.

RUMoRs OF LYNoHINe.
The Murderer Of Treasurer Copes Hur-
ried to the Penitentiary.


Columbia, s. c., Dec. 7-At midnight
tonight there is considerable excitement
here. It is stated that a crowd of men
have arrived here from Orangeburg with
the intention of assembling near the city
hall about a. m, and proceeding to the
county jail TO lynch Murphy, the white
assassin of County Treasurer Copes of
Orangeburg, who was brought here last
night for safe keeping, having been run
down and captured by detectives, after a
chase through three states of nearly two
months duration. In some way Gov.
Evans and the officials got wind of the
story, and tonight about o'clock the
desperate looking fellow under a heavy
guard, was removed from the county
Jail and taken hastily across the city to
the state penitentiary. He is now con-
fined within the massive walls and no
doubt extra guards are in the watch
towers The force at the prison and the
general construction of the massive walls
makes it impossible for almost any kind
of force to gain entrance. Up to this
hour no suspicious persons have been
seen in the vicinity of the jail 1t cannot
be ascertained whether such a party as
is referred to has arrived on any night
train A stranger went into several
stores this afternoon, pretty well intoxi-
Gated, and asked clerks to help him lynch
the prisoner tonight. He was arrested
and locked up.
The States Orangeburg special, says
that Ed Murphy, brother Of d. c. Muir
ply, was brought in and turned over to
the sheriff by two detectives. He is be-
Heved to be the third of the assassins.
Williams is still at large.

CRUISE OF THE MARB.EHEAD.
The Vessel to Be Attached to the Eu-
ropean Station Squadron.

Washington, Dec. 7.--secretary Herbert
has issued an order that the Marblehead
be fitted for a three years cruise on the
foreign station as soon as possible. A
number Of minor defects have developed
during her stay in the West Indies which
would not affect her utility on the home
station, but It win require thirty days
repairs at the Norfolk navy yard to make
the vessel Independent of the workshop
for three years. Secretary Herbert has
not yet announced the destination of the
Marblehead, but he says he wants to have
her ready to go abroad wherever she is
needed. There is an impression that she
VIII be attached to the European squadron,
as a reward of merit for conspicuous ser
vices rendered by her officers and crew
during their long summer duty at Blue
fields, but it Is quite as likely that she
will go to South America. 1t is certain
that no further addition will be made
to the Asiatic fleet.

that it is a subject wholly within the
Jurisdiction of the House and that any
attempt on the part of the committee to
instruct contestants to their duty would be
a presumption of which the committee
would not be guilty.
