The collision between the Portuguese and

TILLMAN'o DOWNFALL
May Follow the Reorganization of :. South Carolina Democracy-They
 Want to Get in Line.

CHARLESTON, S. G., Sept. 7.-Thomas R. Carwile, as chairman of the democratic conference committee which recently met Columbia, has issued an "address to the democrats of South Carolina,o calling for convention in all counties on the 18th of September to elect delegates to a state con- vention to be held on September IT, for the purpose of recognizing the democratic party in South Carolina, considering the political situation of the state and taking such action as their collective wisdom may suggest for the public welfare. The ad- dress declares that .under the guid- ance of those SOL called democrats a majority of them-who have con- trol of the party machinery in this state, the leaders of the rank and file of the party have attempted to commit them to the third party and to populst doctrines, have allenated us from our fellow democrats of ttb union, aud have brought the party in South Carolina into reproach as to its alignment with the national democracy, adopted false and undemocratic principles saad promulgated them in the name and su ader the banner of democracy; that we, saS true, loyal and uncompromising demo- ycfats, repudiate the third party platform repeatedly (and the recent Augusta state cpnvention of the faction now in power) forced upon our party, and hereby pledge our continued allegiance to true democratic 'slkFiiaciipfes as enuGciated at the last na- gtional democratic convention. We feel the absolute necessity of a complete reorgani- Rzation of the party in this state, and invite EialEtrue democrats to assist us in this re- mobilization, and in the organization of democracy in South Carolina squarely in line with sound democratic doctrines. | The effect of this address, coupled with Sampson Pope's candidacy for governor, cannot yet be foreseen, but may be the en- tering wedge in the downfall of the Tiliman

Talleyrand, like most diplomats, was ia. nous for his attention to tho details of eti- quette. He prided himself on an ability to adjust his mode of address to the rank and position of the person to whom he was speaking
 On one occasion, when a number of dis tinguished men were dining with him, he varied his formula when inviting them to partake of beef in such manner as to suit the rank of the respective persons
 May I have the honor of sending your royal highness little beef?" he asked a prince of the blood.
 To duke he said, "Monseigneur. per- init me to send you little beef"
 Marquis, he continued, "may I send you some beeff"
 "Viscount, pray have little beef. /"
 Baron, do you take beef?" ran the next Interrogation.
 Monsieur" he said to an untitled gen. tleman, "some beef?"
 To his secretary he remarked casually, "Beef?''
 But there was one gentleman left who deserved even less consideration than the secretary, and Talleyrand poising his knife in the air, favored him with a mere look of Interrogation. If this guest was possessed of an independent spirit, one can imagine that he did not take beef that day. .-Life's Calendar

 BALTIMORE, Sept. 7.-The British steamer Tyzack, Captain Weppener, which arrived from Havana August 3l, was re- moved to quarantine today for inspection. One of her crew has died and three others are suffering with what appears to be yell low fever.
 Last Saturday Fireman George Herman was taken i'll. He complained of head. ache, backache, general lassitude and nausea. He was removed to the Maryland general hospital and died on Tuesday. On Monday Seaman John Wilson was attacked, and on Wednes- day two other members of the crew, Chief Engineer Poole and Donkey Engineman Watson, became ill, all show ing symptoms similar to those of Herman. They were taken to the Maryland general hospital, but were removed today to the quarantine hospital, and the remaining members of the crew, some of whom had been given shore leave, were placed on board the vessel and quarantined at Haw- kns Point. Tho vessel left Havana on Au- gust 20. She arrived at Cape Charles quarantine station two days later and was passed by those in charge. When she reached the local quarantine on Au- gust 31 she was again overheuled and all on board seemed to be in sound health. She was permitted to come up to the har- bor. She was docked at Locust Point, and the work of loading coal for Cienfuegos was at once begun. Her crew numbered twenty-two men, and she came in ballast.

ANOTHER OUTBREAK.
Democrats Opposed to Ringisnl Call on Their Friends to Hold
 Mass Meetings,

COLUMBIA, s. C., Sept. 7.-1he dissatis- faction on the part of the conservative fac- tion with the way politics of the state have been conducted resulted in some definite action being taken tonight. A conference of representative men from every section of the state met here tonight and issued an address to the democratic voters.
 Among other things it says the demo- cratic party has been betrayed by leaders who have usurped the rights of the demo- cratic voters and are using the party ma- chinery for their own selfish ends: that a ring has been organized, and is exercising arbitrary and tyrannica authorityt to the ut- ter subversion of the welfare of the people; that the leaders and rank and file of their followers openly and avowedly indorse third party and populistic measures.
 The committee representing those demo- crats who repudiate popuiism announce their continued allegiance to true demo- cratic principles, and calls upon all who agree with them to hold mass meetings on the 18th instant in their respective court houses in each county and elect delegates to a convention, to be held in Columbia on the 17th instant, for the purpose of reor- ganizing the party, to consider the politi- cal situation and take such other steos as in their wisdom they may deem proper.
 This is taken to mean that full state and county tickets will be put out to oppose the Tillman faction, which controls the state. While Senator Butler holds thatIhe~ is not seeking re- election by Xt this hjils5 new move, it is certain that shanakdt1t succeed he will be re- elecsttettrirU the senate. Most of the men ,sXgning the petition are, or have been, his lieutenants in the contest.
 There may be a triangular fight if the new movement nominates a ticket. Dr. Pope, ex-reformer, ex'candidate for gov- ernor, but who got out week or two ago, has changed his mind and tonight an- nounces that he will make tbe race. He counts on getting the votes of dissatisfied reformers, as we'll as some of the conserva- tives. He announces that he will run as a democrat, and his platform generally is opposition to the ring.

Every soat was occupied. In one of the seats WAS well dressed and pronounced pompous looking colored gen tleman-apparently preacher, judging from his high silk hat and long black coat. He saw the swell looking sister standing, and arising with a great air of doing the polite said:
 'Take my scat, madam. No gentle man will sit while a lady is standing.
 Neyah mind, sah. Nevah mind doesn't want to deprive you of yo' seat, sah, said the ebony queen of fashion.
 q You take tho seat, ma'am. I give it to you, was the response, with great wave of his hand holding the silk hat and a low bow. There's no dopravity at all, ma'am, I assure you. No deprayity at all.
