All Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Represeata-
tiyes Shell mad another talk with Sec.
retary Garden to-day at Democratic
headquarters aud he conveyed the en-
couraging intelhgsnc to the members
of the com mittee that South Carolina
expects to send q solid Democratic de-
legation to the next House OF Repre-.
sentstives. He says the fight will be
made on the lines drawn between the
white and the black mems party, and,
therefore, the full Democratic strength
will be called to the polls. 1t was ex.
pected that the first six districts would
be Democratic, but there was some
doubt about the 9TH district. If Capt
ShellsIperdictions hold good Col. Elliott
will come back to- Congress again. Capt
Shell also assured Mr.. Gardner that
there is not the slightest prospect OF
any member of the South Carolina de-
legation breaking away from the Dem.
cratic party to join with the Popullsts
In organizing tile next House, They
will llcome to Washington as Demo
Gratis. They will participate In the De-
mocratic caucuses and sustain Demo-
cratic principles.

Republicau Pow-Wow.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 10.-A conven
tion of Republicans dissatisfied Win
the recent action of the State executive
committee was held last night at STEM
house hall. There were about lOJ peo-
ple present, including most OF the COL
ored ministers of the city. Rev. r: b.
Colt was elected chairman and Y. r.
Holmes secretary. The deliberations
were held In secret but enough was
learned to enable 1t to be stated that
there was long and earnest discussion
of the adyisability of nominating q
State ticket. It was finally decided
that. owing to the delay Of the execa-
tive committee, 1t would be impractl-
cable to nominate q ticket. An ADDRESS
was adopted calling upon all Repuel-
cans to 20 to the polls and atte npt TO
vote for candidates for Congress, Tor
csndi didates for county officers where any
have been nominated and tor the "oest
men" where none have been. But ABOVE
all things Republicans are counselled TO
try to vote. The address further De,
nounces the proposed constltutlonRi u
convention ss likely to result III great
wrong being done Republicans, and
closes by denouncing the State execu'
tive committee for its delay and gener-
al do-nothing policy. Those outside
could catch ever and again snatches OF
the G. o. Z. eloquenes In favor OF nom
inations, but they evidently were IN a
minority who advocated this action, as
they certainly were lack In hard, com,
mon sense ideas of the utter futility or
such scheme.

New Mon.

All the facts being taken into con-
sideratlon, the presence in the fifty
fourth congress of large number OF
men new to congressional life Is cer-
tainty, as the statistics Of Democratic
denomination thus far received at head
quarters of the Democratic congress
slonal campaign committee at this time
show. In Alabama, where the Demo
Gratis hold nine seats, three new nemlna'
tions have been made; In Maryland,
where they hold six, all three or the
nominations thus far made are new
men; IN Kentucky, with the Democratic
seats. five out Of seven nominations
thus far are new men; in Virginia, also
with the Democratic members, four
candidates are new men; In North Car
oltna, out of eight Democratic censtitu-
encies, three new nominations nave
been made; in South Carolina, with six
Democratic seats, two new candidates
are named; in Texas, out OF thirteen
nominations, three are new men with
one convention remaining; in Della
ware, the single candidate Is new man;
In Florida, one of the two IL new con-
testant; in West Virginia, one out Of
four; In Mississippi, one out of seven;
and in Arkansas, one out OF six is the
proportion. From these figures 1t will
be at once apparent that there will be q
marked change In the complexion Of
the southern delegation.

Two Hundred Loht

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 1O.-St. Pierre
the French Colony on the South coast
of New Foundland, was visited last
night by terrific gale, which caused
the loss Of at least ten lives and unpre.
cedented damage to shipping. More
than fifty vessels that were anchored
In the roads were driven ashore and
most of them destroyed. Their crews
escaped only by the merest chance. A
fleet of more than 300 French fishing
vessels had arrived at st. Pierre within
q few. days, having been compelled to
make port in consequence of damages
sustained in the gale on tue Sunday
before last, which ragged furiously on
the banks. All vessels reported seri-
GUS losses. Several ships are missinG
and are believed to have foundered
with 200 lives.

What TilIm IN has to Say.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 9.-In the city
of Greenvlle yesterday, Dlspensary
constables armed with q warrant and
sundry firearms, attempted to search
the private residence Of Sol. Edel, an
ex-saloon keeper for contraband liquors
Edel's wife was In delicate condition
and DIR. PEBBLES, her physician, met
them at the door, shot gun In hand, an6
declared they should not enter except
"over his dead body" Edel also threat
ened resistance and q riot seemed I'M
minent. One Of the constables became
boisterous and was arrested by the city
police. The constables gave up the at
tempt. Tonight Governor Tillman,
commenting on the affair, expressed
himself as follows:
81 propose to make everybody get out
of the road and obey the law. I urge
all good citizens to frown down all re-
sistance to law and cooperate with the
constituted authorities In carrying 1t
out and preventing such unseemingly
and dlsgrsceful exhibitions as we had
at Greenville yesterday. Town people
who are opposed to the law have moth
ing to gain and something to lose by
such behavior. l have no desire In the
world to employ any force and would
be glad to have the cooperation Of the
police and municipal authorities, but 1
nave all the militia need and can con-
centrate 1000 good men at any point
in the State side Of AZ hours, and
while l would hate to resort to any
such measures, no resistance would be
tolerated. The constables are going
to work now and going to search all
places Whers they have reasons to know
whiskey is kept and private residences
will Lot be exempt when we have rea-
SONS to believe they have been made
depots for the storage of whiskey. Con.
stables will not be allowed to harm peO-
pie OF do anything to provoke collisions
and any reasonable complaint against
them will be promptly Investigated.
Sheriffs and police will be expected to
CO operate and those municipalities
which prove derelict will receive no
share of the profits while it is almost
inevitable that the system of metropol-
itan police will be provided at such
places when the Legislature meets"
"Does that include Columbia and
Charleston
"Of course. Trial Justices who don't
do their duty will likely be relieved Of
the burdens of office and If jurles fall
to convict, change Of venue will be
tried. The law has come to stay ana
after that tact Is recognized by the
whiskey men and those who have op-
posed 1t heretofore the better 1t will be
] for all cancerned."

think, however, as the days go on, tnaG
these gentlemen who oppose Mr. HUI

Ole for the Democratic party. Ii we

succeed in carrying the Legislature lor
twenty years to come. Ii there Is no
hope for carrying the Legislature, tne

Mr.. Hill is at best only passing figure
in politics, like every other public man.
The party goes on forever. Candldates
come and 60; the party Is greater than
the man. Besides, the opposltion 10
Mr.. Hill now is like dissatisfaction on
the part of few soldiers on the helo
of battle to their general. They may
not have wanted him as leader, but tne
fact remains that he is the regularly
appointed leader and the army ne Is
leading Is facing the enemy IN q deaaly

higher regard for loyal Democrats, VINO

The witness approached Patricio Leon
and Crouch, Abundio Leon. In the
course of quarrel between them Album
dio called Crouch an offensive name and
drew knife which Crouch made him
drop by presenting a revolver. Leon
then walked to the rear of the cabin,
followed by Crouch. and on to point
where sharp pointed iron bar was
sticking in the ground. Leon seized the
bar suddenly, swinging 1t to strike
Crouch, and received the fatal shot.
The testimony will probably be con-
cluded today, though it is likely that
the witnesses for the defense will be
subjected to long and searching cross
examination. Indeed. the cross exam
nations yesterday consumed much
more time than the direct.
There is nothing listless about the

MR.. BLANCK'S FIX.
He is Not Much of Legal
MaChiniSt.
A Murderer Under Sentence of
May Offer Him a Surprise.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. 1l.-This was
the day for the execution of Murderer
Thomas Blanck, but the sentence of the
court will not be carried into effect
until the appeal has been passed upon.
A motion of the prosecuting attorney to
dismiss the appeal will be argued in the
supreme court tomorrow by John F. Mil
ler and Dan 7. Cross, and if the motion is
granted the murderer's stay upon this
mundane sphere will probably be linn
tied. 1t is understood. however, that
before he can be hanged a new death
warrant must issue from the supreme
court.
Yesterday Blanck was reported to be
somewhat uneasy and to feel that his
tenure of life was exceeding doubtful.
The machinery of the law is extremely
com plicated for a man Of his under
standing and he does not know exactly
where he stands. 1t would not surprise
him to be called upon to 90 through the
ordeal of an execution tomorrow, and de-
spite his bravado in court he is now
willing to confess that he would rather
not be the star performer in an act of
that kind. Speaking of this yesterday
he became nervous and said, earnestly
and with illy-concealed uneasiness:
81 don't know about this appeal bus
mess. Jim Woolery might take it into
his head to string me up without wait
ing to hear from the supreme court,
and then I'd be in a HI of fix"
The sherif's Office has made every
preparation to dispose of Mr.. Blanck on
very short notice. scafold is slowed
away somewhere about the Jail, and in
case quick action is desired it can be
put together ready for the victim in ff-
teen minutes.

Mrs. Brown was alone, and after accus-
ing the woman and her husband of
completely in recent robbery, eoolly
proceeded to search their trunks.
The burglar found the money in
stocking. He charged that it had been
stolen and after frightening Mrs. Brown
into condition of helpless terror he

SULLEN SOCIALISTS.
They Refuse to Cheer for the
Emperor.
A Wild Scene Occurs In the Early
DAYS of the Present Session
of the ReiChStag.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec ia disturbance oc-
Cured today in the reichstag palace.
After President Won Levetsow had
mad reminiscent speech, he called for
cheers for the emperor. Cheers were
given heartily by all except the social
lists, who remained seated, in spite OF
the excited and angry protests of the
other members. A great uproar fol-
lowed. President Won Levetskow, on
assuming the presidency after his re-
election, censured the action of the
socialists in remaining seated when he
called for cheers. Such conduct, he
said, was not in consonance with the
traditions of the German usages of the
house.
Herr Singer attempted to justify the
attitude of the socialists. and made a
bitter personal attack upon the EN-.
peror, which provoked storm of indig-
nant protests from the other parts Of
the house. Won Levetsow thereupon
called Herr Singer to order. The house
then opened debate on the motion to
abandon the pending prosecutions OF
some of the socialist members, during
which Freiherr Manteuffel inveighed
strongly against the conduct of the
socialists of today. The reichstag then
adjourned until Tuesday, when the
budget will be introduced.
The socialists resented the attitude
of the president, and Liebknecht rose
in his seat, his manner being quite
threatening. Ulrich also sprang to his
feet and. amid renewed shouts and
cries of SHAME" Shame" shook his
fist at the other mem bers. When order
was restored the election of officers OF
the house was proceeded with. When
this had been concluded President Won
Levetsow expressed his regret that he
was unable to punish the disloyal
socialists.
