RIGIDPROHIBITION
South Carolina Supreme Court Makes
an Important Ruling in Liquor
Cases.
Since the Dispensary Law Was De.
clared Unconstitutional There
Is No Power
BY Which Liquor Licenses Can Be
Granted-Injunction Against
Florence Authorities.

ST. LOUIS, May "a special to The
Post Dispatch from Columbia, S. G.,
says: The dispensary law now gives
way to rigid prohibition. The supreme
court so declared in announcing its de-
cision in case from Florence, asking for
an injunction torestrain the city council
from granting licenses for selling liquor,
on the ground that there is no law au-
thorizing the granting thereof. In it's
decision, the court says that under the
law as it now stands. there is no au-
thority invested with the power to grant
licenses for the sale of liquor in
this state, and hence the act of the city
council in granting such license
is void, and the court therefore
grants tho injunction. The court
also refused motion for the dis
charge Of man named Brunson, who
was arrested in Florence for selling
liquor without license. The court
says that the dispensary act Of 1892,
having been declared unconstitutional,
in all its provisions except that forbid
ding the granting Of licenses to sell
quor, after a certain date, the repeal
ing clauses of that act must be regarded
as If never enacted, hence the previous
law forbidding the sale of liquor with
out a license remained in force.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.

Organized Labor Asked to Help Kelly
Feed His Men.
DEs MONIES, May 9.-One hundred
and eighteen of $50 barges for the Kelly
army have been completed. Kelly has
been compelled to draw nearly $500
from his army chest to help pay for
lumber. The provisions have been TALL
ing low and an appeal for help has
been sent out signed by J. R. Sover-
eign, general master workman, Knights
of Labor; Eugene V. Debs, president
American Railway union; L. P. Jones,
president State Federation of Labor,
and others. The appeal is for organized
labor all over the country to help
Kelly's army. It says: General
kelly's army is largely composed of
members of organized labor. They are
engaged in a crusade calculated to bene-
fit labor in various ways and especially
in an educational way. The army is
sadly in need of material support,
Every effort is being made by com
bination OF corporations to impede the
course of it's march and if possible an
nihilate the army as a body of unem-
ployed workingmen.

GETTING RID OF THE UNEMPLOYED.

Western Cities Paying Big sums to Send
Coxeyites East.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, May "a
Coxey organizer, who was here with a
wing of the army, in an interview, said
that $4,000 was raised in Butte to help
take an army which he was organizing
in the West to the East. He says that
other cities on the coast are raising
large sums to send unemployed work
ing men east. They care nothing about
the effect that the movement is expected
to have on legislation, but it is cheap
and popular way to return to the East a
large army of men which foated west
during the boom days on the coast and
which are now drug in Western cities.
While the organizer was here promi-
nent and wealthy man gave him list
of 1O4 undesirable citizens and offered
him $40 per head for as many of them
as he would take east, the money pay
able when he reached tsburg.

FOUND BODIES OF TWO.

Searching Party Sent Out After Hunters
Only Partially Successful.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Francis
Murphy, an American engineer and
mining man, returned to this city from
Mazatlan, Mexico, states that he was
member of searching party that left
Durango about five weeks ago to find
the whereabouts of N. L. Denton, G. H.
Hall, Frank Turnstall, Americans, and
two Mexican guides, who started from
Saltillo, State of Durango, on pros
pecting and hunting expedition into the
Sierra Madre mountains.
They found the bodies of Denton and
Hall, and buried them, but were un-
successful in finding the others. The
men had evidently died from lack of
provisions.

varying rom IS to a of an inch of

varying rom Is to a of an inch of
water.
The results of the various tests are
given on statements accompanying this
report. and they show that the value of
the Ignite as compared with Youghio-
gheny screenings is about so per cent.
They show also that in burning the lig-
mite larger boiler power is necessary
to get the same results than in burning
Youghiogheny coal.
1t may be, and probably is, fact
that better comparative results would
have been obtained from the Ignite had
it been burned with forced draft: this.
however, could not be arranged for. It
may also be the case that special
CRATE adapted for the. burning of Ignite
wou4u nave produced more satisfactory
resul4s.
While the figures obtained from the
tests which have been made bv this
committee are not such as would show
that Ignite would be in St. Paul an
economical fuel, as compared with
Youghiogheny coal, they yet show that
in localities reasonably near to the lig.
mite mines, and the freight to which
therefore would be small, that Ignite
can be advantageously used.
The committee wish to direct atten-
ton to the fact that in burning Ignite
coal there is an almost entire absence OF
smoke, the carbon appearing to be
thoroughly consumed.

Republican Attitude on the Tariff b IL
Declared.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Republic
can steering committee of the senate
held conference during the day for
the purpose of considering the attitude
of the Republican party in the senate
on the tariff question, in view of the
claims made by the Democrats that
they have assurance of the 43 votes nee
essary to pass the bill. While the mem
bers of the committee do not freely dis
cuss the action of the committee, it is
understood that they decided to notify
the Democratic leaders that they had
no intention of flibustering against the
tariff, and especially would not be in
clined to resort to dilatory tactics if
the Democratic party should prove to
be united upon the tariff bill. The in
terchange of views developed the fact,
however, that the Republicans think
that there is much material in the new
compromise bill for legitimate discus
zion. and that they will insist upon the
right to discuss the bill as amended
upon it's merits.

ST. PAUL, May 8. Some time since a
