EFFECTS FINANCIALLY.
Governor TillmsR en- Arcther Feature
o!ths Trouble.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April l.-Itappears
that South Carolina's business affairs
and her standing In the financial world
have been injured by the recent trouble
in the State and business mea are com
plainlnI Z very much about the condition
Of affairs.
Several of the banks have been cut
off from the financial aid they had ar
ranged for, simply on account Of this
trouble.
Yesterday morning. a bank president
had talk with Governor Tillman about
the situation and as q result the Cover
nor gave the following interview to the
press. 1t was also seat out on the AS
sociated Press wires:
81 wish to say few things to-day in
regard to the aspect of this insurrec-
| tlon on the business interests of the
State. I desire 10 express with all the
emphasis l can my absolute belief and
COL idence in the assertion that seven
eights of our people, without regard to
politics, condemn the action of those
who bought on the trouble and Of their
sympathiZers, both amoug the citizens
and the militia. The responses which
are coming in from all over the State
and the offers of volunteers to uphold
the law and repress disorder make 1t
clear that life and property are as safe
here as they are anywhere. South Car
oinias have no stomach for nor will
they tolerate any such emeutes as those
at Darlington and Florence.
"The business centers and capital
seeking Investment will DO great in.
justice if they are led to believe that
any more such South American at
tempts at revolution will be made.
Over half of the militia has never been
called out at all and there would have
been no decentralization or Injurious
impression sent aboard, but fer the
companies in this city, which Is the
head center of the political opposition,
which lay at the bottom of the insur-
recticn. Their refusal gaze the impulse
to militia in the other towns and created
a false impression that we were on the
brink of civil war. Only four counties
at all were involved in any riotous, de-
Observation-Disclosures, Florence,
Sumter and Richland.
"The reorganization of the militia,
or rather the organization OF new com.
panies to take the place of those which
lave dlsgraced themselves, has already
taken place and the arms will soon be
in the hands of faithful men, who will
respond always promptly to the call OF
duty. Back of those is reserve force
of thousands of citizens, volunteer COM
panies alread organized and armed with
Shot guns ready to move when called
on.
II can therefore, give assurance to
the world that law and order will be
maintained in South Carolina and l
have every reason to believe that there
will never oe another outbreak.
"In conclusion, it is source of graft
ication to express publicly my thanks
to The officers of the different railroads
centerirg here for their prompt acqui-
esce of my orders and hearty co-opera
tion in concentrating and moving the
troops. They showed plainly that they
had no sympathy for such lawless be,
haYiour. and contributed IN no small
degree to the promps suppression OF
the ipsurrectiOn."

The Cold Snap.

The following bulletin was issued
from the State Weather Bureau a. Co
lumbia last Wednesday:
The temperature for the week was
about nor NAL over the entire State, but
the nights were very cool, with light
frosts over the western half on the
morning of the 7th, which did but little
or no damage. The cool nights had
the effect of retarding the growth of all
vegetation and making iC very uncer-
tain to what extent crops were Injured
by the recent cold. Sunday was very
warm and gave new impetus to all
growing vegetation. There was an
average amount of sunshine during the
week In all sections.
In general, there was a deficiency OF
rainfall throughuut the State. There
were showers on the 4th and 9th, light
for the most part, but heavy 10 the
southeastern portions, which were very
beneficial. High winds in the central
and western portions dried the soil
very rapidly especially where loosened
in preparation for planting, the latter
being deferred in these parts until the
weather becomes more favorable for
quick termination. Rain Is needed
over the entire State.
In the coast region rice planting has
been general, but the acreage, 1t IS
thought, will be less than usual owing
to the scarcity of seed.
Upland corn is nearly all planted ex-
cept In the western counties and much
Of that has been cut down by the
frost has been replanted, although
some cutdown and not replanted shows
signs of putting out new sprouts. The
stand of such corn promises poorly.
Much diversity of opinion regarding
grains prevails among correspondents,
although all admit serious injury. The
truth is that some fields suffered but
little while others were seriously dam
aged, depending on locality and stage
of growth. Spring oats were not dan-
aged. The full amount of injury done
to grains will probably not be known
until threshing time. It is admitted by
all, that fruit in the bill counties IS en-
tireiy killed. as well as many OF the
trees and branches. this is particularly
true of peaches. Other large fruits are
not as much hurt. Where the vines or
bushes have been killed, berries show
signs of putting forth new buds.
Cotton planting is well advanced IN
the low counties and ground IS be-
ing prepared for the entire State. By
next week planting will be general.
The acreage will De, apparently, up to
the usual area, and commercial ferti-
lizers are being freely used.
Some potatoes were replanted, but
those that were not are putting out
new sprouts and promise well. In the
western part of the State many forests
as we'll as fruit trees were killed.

NEW YORK, Aplil ia fearful

heavy show storm prevailed during
the morning hours and the life saving
crew were unable to locate the signal
guns which could be heard sounding at
intervals. A great many handsome
cottages at Highland Beach, Sea Bright
Monmouth and other ports have been
wrecked. Many paVllions at Long
Branch have been damaged. and at
many points wharves, landings, bath
houses, etc., have been swept away.
Reports received from points South
as far as Atlantic City state that the
storm has ragged all night and 1t is
feared that many vessels have been
wrecked and probably great number
of their crews drowned. The
telephone wires connecting the life
saving stations have been bio VI down
and it is impossible to get details of the
storm.

Il mentioned Mr.. Crimmins a few
moments ago, and l want to state right
here that he never did 2 dollars worth of
municipal contracting in New York. His
work. of course, has been of great magni-
tude, but has been carried on in connection
with private enterprises entirely.
''It is generally conceded by people Of
en- biased minds in New York that the city
is better governed since Tammany's ad-
vent than at any other time in many years.
The streets are better paved, better lighted
and, Notwithstanding al you hear about
their uncleanly condition, cleaner than
those OF any other city in the United
States. We have better system OF sew
erage than any other city and we have the
best ire and police deDartmentS In the

migration of lewd women from the peigh-

years, but from which they have been
driven, into these new localities which
have thus suffered from the bad repute
acquired.
Il will say right here that a stranger
can walk through the streets of New York
to-day without becoming aware of the
existence or presence of the immoral
classes unless he is under the guidance of
some one who is familiar with tile lOcali-
ties.

TOWED INTO PORT
The City of Puebla Now
at the Dock.
A Broken Crankpin in a Strong
Southwestern Almost Leads to
the Steamers Wreck.

The City of Puebla, lowed into port by
the tug Fearless, CAPTAIN Haskell. docked
al Broadway wharf at 10:30 o'clock last
night. a day in advance of her expected
arrival.
The Puebla broke her crankpiu on Sat-
urday, March 10, when about ff'een miles
below Cape Flatiery. She was towed into
Port Townsend by the tug Wanderer, was
taken to Port Angeles and from that port
towed to this city by the Fearless In four
DAYS and twenty hours.
When the crank in broke the weather
was extremely rough and the Puebla lay
in the trough of the sea for thirty-two
hours. passengers and crew expecting to
be drifted upon the rocks before rescue
might arrive. After she was taken to Port
Townsend quite q little dispute arose as to
be her a tug from the sound should tow
the steamer to this city or whether one
should be sent from here to bring her
down. The sound tugs demanded 5000
for the tow. Spreckels ffered TO send up
the Fearless for S25o0, and his offer was
accepted.
ing of Saturday, March Il. 1t was ac-
cOmpanled by rumbling noise. li5e an
explosion. In the afternoon one of the
mates and five sailors left in small boat
in search Of tug. They were picked up
the next day. after being at sea twenty
three hours. a strong southwester was
blowing at the time, ard oneSOf the sail
oTs was kept busy bailing the boat.
Before the tug WanGerer was sent on
its rescue miSsitn the Cos'a Rica and the
MOntserrat were sighted from the City of
Puebla, and attempted to give the disabled
steamer tow.
The sea was sorough that the Costa Rica
parted three hawsers and the Montserrat
two in the vain endeavOr TO render as
sistance. The first hawser from the tug
WandereT, a new one. parted and as the
steamer had drifted close in shore there
was much fear on the part OF those aboard
that she would go on the rocks in spite of
the tugs assistance. a second hawser
| held. and the tug succeeded 10 reaching
Por. Townsend with its tow with but one
more mishap. Inside the bar the second
hawser parted, and a third had to be at
tached.
The crankpin was 17-inch one. It had
been In service a number of years.
1t is the intention 10 give the Puebla a
thorough overhauling. New tubes are
needed, and the stramer will remain in
port about six weeks undergoing a thor
ough renovation. The expense already
incurred and the cost of contempla ed re-
pairs will necessilate the outlay of nearly
$4,000.
The tow from the sound down was
marked by no incident. The weather was
fine and the sea the smoothest ever seen
at this time of the year.
Cap ain Haskell of the Fearless is said
to have MADE the best time on record of a
tow from sound port to San Francisco.
The assengers of the City of Puebla
were transferred 70 the Walla Walla and
