CONGRESSIONAL.
To-DAY's SENATE.

Washington, March 6.--There was evi-
dence during the progress of routine
business in the senate this morning of
purpose on the Republican side of the
chamber to display the tariff question
with the silver discussion over the Bland
bill. There were but few Democratic SEN
ators in the chamber when the vice
Presidents gavel fell.
Mr.. Hill awakened interest by offerinr
the following resolution and asking for
its reference to the committee on finance:
Whereas, the secretary of the treasury has
announced deficit of $7S,O0O,000 or
more for the current year, and, whoreas.
the house bill, known as the Wilson bill,
rr poses to discard $76,000,O00 in rev
ej 10 from the present tariff taxation, and
to meet the double deficiency with new
internal aud direct taxation; therefore, tie
mittee frame amendments to the senate
bill omitting the said internal and direct
taxes in the newly proposed bill, and in
stead they make provision for sufficient
revenue by tariff on foreign imports, and
otherwise revising the tariff without
creating deficiency.
SILVER THE THEME.
The silver storm cloud, which has been
towering all morning, broke over the
senate when Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, moved the second reading of the
Bland bill. In doing SO he stated to the
senate and especially the senator from
Nevada, Mr.. Stewart, that tho latter was
not more earnest advocate of silver
coinage than he, but that he believed
there was one question which should take
predecence over this and without any
breach of COINCIDENCE he could state that
the finance committee has been on the
verge of reporting tariff bill to the SEN
ate. He therefore objected to further
proceedings on the seigniornge bill.
Under this objection it would have to 60
to the calendar.
TO-DAY's HOUSE.
The house has adopted the resolution
providing for an investigation of Judge
Jenkins order, preventing the Northern
Pacific employees from striking.
Some minor routine business preceded

ing it in Lancaster and Chesterfield
counties with the intention of apply
ing to the next session Of the Legis-
lature fvr new county to be formed
from the portions cut off from the
three counties named, with Kershaw
as the county seat.
From the way they are carving it
up-or. wanting to carve it-there
will not be much lett of the county
by the time the several schemes now
on foot are consummated, although
the Constitution says that each county
shall not have less than 625 square
miles in it.
We think i; wonld not be bad
idea to set down on all such schemes
until the county is more thickly popu.
lated. There is no necessity at this
time for smaller counties, and until
there is it is a waste of valuable time
to be taking up such measures in the
Legislature. Wait and see what the
near future has in store for u.s.

Killed His Brother.

The seven year old son Of Mr..
Henry Williams who lives about two
miles from Columbia, shot and killed
his five year old brother on the
l7th inst.
Mrs. Williams had gone out Of the
house for short while. leaving her
three children, aged I, 5, and 8 years
old. When she returned size found
the FIVE year old son lying in a pool
of blood dead. Her cries soon
brought in the neighbors, who ques-
tened the oldest child as how his
brother had been killed. At first he
said that when his brother was lying
on the floor he had driven nail in
his ear, but this was clearly not true,
and being questioned further, he said
that he had gone to trunk and taken
pistol and shot his brother.
When the doctor arrived this was
confirmed The child was then dead,
and must have been instantly killed.
The boy who did the shooting
clearly does not appreciate what he
has done, and must not have intended
doing such deed.

Thlrty-f'ive Discharged.

At the meeting of the regents OF
the insane asylum last week the
principal matter under discussion was
how to reduce the population of tue
asylum. There are at present 8ll
patients within the walls aud more
are coming in at the rate of one day.
During the month of July thirty-fve
new patients were received, and so
far during August ten more have
been added. This is high water
mark and no more can be accom-
modated The greatest number that
have been in the asylum before the
last few weeks were 1913. So the
matter is very serious one.
The regents decided to return
thirty-five patients to thoir homes.
OF these fifteen are white men and
four are white women, the remainder
are colored Many of these have been
cured and others are in such condition
that they can be cared for as we'll at
their homes as they can be cared for
at the asylum.
Though nothing definite was done
at this meeting Of the regents, it is
probable that the next Legislature
will be asked for an apportion with
which to build brick house for the
accommodation Of the colored male
patients of the asylum.

A Dark Horse Likely.

State politics are getting lively
Just now. The dull, heavy and
uneventful campaign speaking is
over now, and the next ten days will
witness more real political campaign
work than all the three months just
past. The fact is, the real fight is just
beginning. 1t is pretty safe to
predict that there is going to be no
end of fun between now and the
general election in November, aud
no one can tel| how it is going to
end.
There is every indication now that
Evans, as stated yesterday. is going
to get the Reform convention nomina-
ton, without the slightest trouble.
on Thursday next. There is every
indication, too, that the convention
is going ahead and nominate full
State ticket-tile ticket quoted
yesterday. The convention is called
to make nominations for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor only. And
thereby will probably hang very
interesting tale-to be developed in
the next month or two. There is
music in the air. Some Reform
leaders were talking yesterday, as
Reform leaders have not been heard
to talk for many day in South Caro-
lima, The dissatisfaction over the
attempt to make ring nomination has
grown to much larger dimensions
than any one has thought
The fact is, there is now every
indication of dark horse from the
Alliance.Reform side appearing in
the race against Evans, after
he is nominated, if the convention
exceeds it's duties, under the call
The dark horse, whose name is freely
mentioned. is a stronger man than
Pope, and Pope will probably step
aside if he is put up. And then
again, the fight, from what can be
heard, will go beyond the
State Democratic primary and Sep.
tember convention and will be fought
in the November general election
The State is not at liberty to give
what information it has on this mat
ter just yet, bat it will not be many
days perhaps before it will be known
that is, if anything at all is done.
All the talk that can be heard indi-
Gates that such is going to be the
result, but no one hereabouts of
course is able to tell with positive
ness what will come of it.
There seems to be good deal of
confusion among the people about
what the various political gatherings
and events scheduled for the next
month mean-The State.

Winthrop Normal College, the Legisla-
ture at its last session arranged for

animation will be held appointing an

pared by my colleagues, will be for

No matter what the outcome is, there

The Corean War.

LONDON, Aug. THE Tien Tsin
correspondent of The Central News
says: ga Chinese cruiser has captured
japanese trading bark and taken her
to Taku. All pilots have been
warned officially that they must not
guide japanese vessels nor give them
any information as to the waters and
coast.
The rivers are falling steadily in
consequence of the drouth. 1t will
soon be impossible for the Japanese
to make raid up the Pei Ho toward
Pekin.
The Central News correspondent
in Shanghai says that Col. Vol Hen
niken has made still another affidavit
concerning the sinking of the Kow
Shing. This affidavit differs from the
accounts already given in only few
details. In it Col. Won Henniken
says: "That after the demands of the
japanese officers and the replies of
the English and Chinese had been
made the cruiser Naniwa, which lay
on the port side, launched two torpe
does aud fired six guns at the Kow
Shing. The transport was struck
amidships and sank quickly"
The Europeans jumped into the
water before the transport was hit and
the Chinese began to jump in as the
transport settled. The Nanlwa
lowered an armed boat which kept up
the fire on the Kow Shing until she
went over
Col. Won Henniken repeats that
botl, the Kow Shing and Naniwa
fired on those swimming in the water
between them.
A copy of japanese edict issued
since the declaration of war has been
received by the The Central News
correspondent in Shanghai. This
edict says that the local authorities
will be held responsible for the lives
and properties of Chinese subjects
remaining in their several districts.
The Russian officials in Shanghai say
that if Russian trade suffers too
severely from the war Russia will
intervene. Bussia's movements are
watched very closely by Japan owing
to the reports of Russo.Chlnese
entente.
The weather on the China sea is so
rough that all the smaller vessels
have been driven into port The
japanese cruisers are supposed to be
concentrating at Chemulpo.
LONDON, Aug, 7.-Captain Land,
former director in the Chinese navy
and supervisor Of the building Of
many forts, said in an interview
today: "The Chinese are we'll trained
and excellent marksmen. China's
navy is about equal to Japan's. The
Japanese have more dash than the
Chinese have; bat all depends upon
how the Chinese are led If they
have confidence in their leaders they
will face anything without fear OF
death. If Admiral Ting led them
they would prove themselves a
splendid force. Some of the Chinese
officers, particularly those trained i'll
America, are bright examples of every,
thing that they should be. The
Chinese forts are we'll to the fore.
Captain Land said that his opinions
were based upon the condition of
things in 1890 when he left China.
He feared discipline had become lax
since the European influence was
withdrawn.
