SOUTH CAROLINA LAWMAKERS sLASHING
 SALARIES RIGHT AND LEFT.
 COLUMBIA, s. C., Dec. 1.-The lower house of the state legislature tonight killed the divorce bill and then jumped into the consideration of the bill making horizon tai slash of all salaries of state officers. Alter big fight the bill was passed. Some five or six yea and nay votes were taken on various amendments. The majority the bill by arguments from the opposition that they had been in power for four years and this matter of reducing salaries had always been one of their priD- cipat campaign cries, yet they had not cut salaries cent lower tban they were before they came in. They even went so far to- night as to amend the bill by cutting their own per diem from S5 to B aud their mile- age from 10 cents to cents mile each way. One of the reform leaders said on the floor that if they did not reduce the ealaries and give the people the relief they demanded ''they were gone.
 The highest annual salary provided for by the bill is $1200, the governors salary. I, has been heretofore for years S3500. The chief justice of the supreme court comes the hall was jammed with interested spec tatnrs. Whether the senate will pass the bill or not remains to be seen. It is thought that Governor Evans will veto 1t even if it becomes au act. The present governors 8 salary is protected by consti- tutional provision.
 The state senate has killed tue bill to es- tabish blind asylum and educ cltional in- stitution at the capital of the state.

 Other information from Berlin and Vii enna hardly confirms this view. The newspapers of Vienna, Berlin aud Buda Pesfh cast doubt upon the whole narrative of the Armenian massacre as told by the London press ,and dsrIde tbe manifestoes oi the Armenian society in London as ridicu- lous congregations.

 Commission. juI $
A FRUITFUL SENTIMENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The following let ter addressed to the Gettysburg Battlefield commission, Gettysburg, was made public today:
 HEADQUARTERS OF THE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION OF LOUISIANA, DIVISION OF THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 10, 1894. Gentlemen: We have been delegated as committee from the Benevolent association of the Louisiana division of the Army ol Northern Virginia to convey to you their profound appre citation of your more than courteous treatment of our official comm ssioners lately engaged in locating the positions of the Louisiana commands on the battlefield oi Gettysburg.
 The entire incidents surrounding the visit are eminently suggestive in more than one particular and emphasize the changes wrought by tue lapse of years-now some thirty -one-since - the great battle was fought, won and lost.
 The meeting and the welcome are sug- gestlve of coniraternity-it tells in uncon- tradicted tones that the American union is restored is one and undivlsble. It rtc0g- nlZes beyond question that the valor of the American people, at that time directed one against the other and marking itself upou the great battlefield, disc osed an attach 1nent to principle on either side and ex- hlbtted courage unequaled in the history of warfare, ancient or modern.
 The salient points of the battlefield, now prOfusely designated Dy superb memorials, tell in silent eloquence of the clash of arms that shook the continent, and indeIibly mark the stern stand made by the union forces against the surging tides of assault from the incomparaole infantry of tue Army of Northern Virginia. These are memories for history whose muse will en- shrine and perpetuate.
 You will pardon the reflections as sug- gested by and opposite 10 the occasion of the visit of our commissioners. We fully realize and appreciate your kindness to our comrades. Your official recognition of their mission was not perfunctorily dis charged but bestowed with all the consid. erstion and soldierly affection that has al- ways characterized the men on either side oi the conflict, and makes us today the united nation that we are.
 In conclusion, in behalf of the associa. ton we represent, We tender you their thanks and well wishes presently and pros- pecti7e!y. Respectfully yours, EDWIN MARKS, Chairman. JHo. l.. MURRAY, CHAs. SMITH, T. J. DIMETRY, Committee.
