POP.GUN BILLS DOOMED.

The Depleted State of the Treasury Dis.
poses Of All Hopes.
BY the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 29.-The difference
OF opinion among Democrats as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of trying to pass the pop
gun tariff bills during this session, is
made evident as members of the party
arrive in Washington and discuss the
question. 1t is believed that when they
all get here and come to talk the matter
over among themselves it will be decid-
ed that this effort will make but use
less agitation, and that they cannot Sc
cure sufficient unity of action to make
1t worth while
some of the senators who are standing

terest to make great show of earnest
ness Tor the pop-gun bills, but If so this
VIII all be spectacular, for the benefit of
their people at home, and will give no
promise of results.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-Just before he
left here for Beaver Senator Quay said:
81 do not think the income tax law will
ever be put in operation, and l do not
believe Secretary Carlisle is in favor OF
operating it. | shall vote for every
measure favored by the administration
in the line of appropriations, and
think the Republicans will not oppose
any reasonable demands made for
money; but do not think congress will
authorize Secretary Carlisle to com
mence the collection Of the income tax
or that the secretary himself expects
1t to.
Revenue to Be Raised from Sugar.
"The estimated deficiency in the event
of the failure of this provision of the
Wilson bill is $50, 100000, and there are
many other ways much easier and less
expensive than this of raising the money
for the use of the government. The in
come tax scheme has always been
clumsy and awkward. even as a piece
of problematical legislation; and, as an
actual law, 1t is almost, if not quite, i'm
possible Of being carried into successful
effect.
II look upon sugar as the remedy for
our national financial ills, and / think
the Democratic administration is TAX
ing the same view Of the matter. With
Senators Sherman and Cameron, l op-
posed in 1880 the repeal of the tax and
the bounty on sugar, as proposed in the
NICK inlay hill nd T !,
this feature been beaten we would have
100000 900 Of gold in the treasury which
is not there now.
AS the administration becomes IA
miliar with the financial situation, it
sees more clearly every day that the
easiest way to increase its revenue TO
proper proportions is to restore the
duty on sugar to 2 cents pound as
1t was before the Mckinley bill; and
would not be surprised if President
Cleveland himself takes this view in
his coming message to congress.
Sugar the One Hope.
THE over-production of sugar
through the world during the past year
Is estimated at 10000 tons, and this
III loSll 10 plOOl lldl lle sugar lIuSl
is not in position to control or to
seek to control legislation. In the COM
plant over the sugar schedule which
will take place in the senate look for
hot contest, but believe the major
ity of the senators favor the restora-
ton of the old rate of cents pound,
rather than the present schedule of 40
per cent. ad valorem
Il shall propose the Mckinley bill
schedule as substitute to each one of
the five popgun bills, and suppose, the
Republicans will also introduce a sugar
bounty measure. That this is better
that no sort of a revenue-creating leg
islation is admitted, but direct tariff
is to be preferred. / think the demor-
aliZation of the Democratic party and
the straitened condition of the national
finances are largely due to the Demo-
cratic bungle on sugar"

Exact Status of the Bill Which Speaker

Washington, Nov. 29.--The actual con-
ultioh or the Nicaraguan canal project
winch, in subdued and quiet way
seems to figure in the present imbroglio
at Bluehelds, to an extent is this: At
the last session of congress a bill was
unanimously reported from the house
committee on commerce, providing for
a United States governmental construc-
ton and control of the Nicaraguan
canal The bill authorized an issue of
bonds amounting to $7O,00O,OO0 by the
government for term of thirty years
TO bear interest at per cent. per annum
IL was proposed to pay to the incorpora-
tors of the Maritime company, of which
Warner Miller, of New York, Is presi-
dent, $4,000, 900 of stock in the new COM
pany for the charter obtained by them
from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and
also TO reimburse them in stock for the
sums expended by them in the prelmn-
airy work of building the canal. The
governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rlca We're also to receive in stock the
amount guaranteed to them by the
Maritime company, while the remainder
would be held by the United States gov
ernment.
Bill Squelchcd by Crisp.
The management of the canal was
delegated to board of eleven directors,
elght representing the United States and
the other three the governments Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica and the
Maritime Canal company respectively.
me Dill was prepared by sub-commt-
Tee or the house committee and a strong
point in favor of it was made by them to
the full committee. The sentiment of
the house seemed favorable to the meas
ure but Speaker Crisp objected to it and
the measure was not called up.
1t is understood that strong pressure
VIII be brought upon him to make it a
special order between now and the holi-
day recess. Representative Belamy
Storer, of Ohio, who has been cham
plon OF the bill, said this morning that
the Republicans We're generally favor
able TO the proposition and that in the
next house, if not in this, the bill would
pass beyond peradventure.

Washington, Nov. 29.-One of the re-
ports said to have its origin in ad-
ministration circles is that Mr.. Cleve-
land will make some recommendations
in favor OF silver in his message. The
statement is made on semi-official au-
thority that. If the president enters
into the discussion of the new finan-
cial plan, there are three or four points
to which he will give particular en-
phasis. y,
1t is said that his plan will involve
the repeal Of the 10 per cent. tax on
state bank circulation; a recommended
ton of some of the features of the BAL
timore system" and provision that a
certain percentage of silver shall be
used as a basis for bank note currency.

Silver In China.

NJ. in Hampton Guardian.
"China is silver country. The
tael or ounce was worth from $1.3O
to $1.35 in our money some years
ago. 1t is now worth less than 70
cents in gold. Or, as Brother Tatum
writes, 4 Mexican dollar buys 73
tael cents. Two years ago a gold
dollar bought SO tael cents; now
1907 Thus it would seem that a
salary of $500 gave the missionary
to live on fifteen years ago about
$50 taels; two years ago $40; at
present 900-and this without cor
responding decrease, especially in
the interior, of the purchasing
power of the tael." II Il "Several
missionaries propose, of their own
motion, special reductions for this

New York Times.

New York Times.
A comely, we'll dressed woman,
about s5 years old, spent an hour
in Broadway, New York, last Thurs
day, hugging and kissing every
man who came within reach. She
was rather large in stature, and old
men, young men, large and small
men who came within her clutches
had to submit to her embraces.
Some took it good naturedly and
laughed with the crowd that looked
on, while others tore themselves
away and rushed off amid the
how4s of spectators,
In three blocks which she trav-
elled she caught no less than a
dozen men and hugged and kissed
them al. At the ferry she fell in
with a boatload of passengers just
pouring into the street. This was
her golden opportunity, and any
number of men had to submit to
hugs and kisses, while the women
passengers looked on with mingled
horror and amusement. Finally
she boarded a car and left the
scene of her osculation, apparently
worn out, if not satiated, by her
kissing.

ground TO control the mob when
the first soldiers arrive. The mob
is so incensed against the soldiers
now that a small force would be in
danger there.
Gen. Howe is afraid the mob in
its frenzy over the shooting of the
citizens may try to blow up the
whole jail and courthouse. The
command of Col. Colt is now in
the jail, and this would result in a
terrible loss of life. If they can
hold the Jail against the mob for
half an hour longer, said Gen.
Howe at 10:30 o'clock tonight, I
think the danger will be over. I
will have enough troops in Wash
ington G. H. by that time to control
all the people IN the mop.
The safety of the little command
of Col. Colt, consisting of rs men,
and the inmates of the jail and
the officers az well as the wretched
prisoner whose beastly crime has
caused all the rioting and blood
shed depends upon the next half
hour. It is Gen. Howe's intention
to bring the prisoner Dolby to the
State prison tonight under guard
of the troops, as soon as the mob
that surrounds the jail is dispersed.

Hon. M. L. Donaldson,
DEAR SIR: You ask of me for
useat Clemson College a copy of
an article published in the Green
ville!N News many years ago describ-
ing remarkable experiment made
by Mr.. Cole, of Schenectady, N. Y,
IN saving the rain water on the
hill sides for use during the usual
summer drouths. I can't find d
copy3of the paper-the News files
having been burned several years
ago--but will try in a few words
to describe the Cole, and it's appli-
cation to'our terrace system, as at
tempted in the article referred to.
Mr.. Cole selected five acres of bill
sideSclay land and dug parallel
ditches, which he called reservoir
ditcher, 3x3 feet on a dead level,
across the hill side, fifteen feet
apart, all the way down to the base
of the hill; he filled in these
ditcbes, to within a few inches of
the surface, with angular and jag
ged rocks and such other material
as would give the largest space for
the rain water, which it is intended
to hold In reserve for the summer
droueh; he then put some straw on
the rocks to keep the sand and dirt
from filling the crevices in the
rocks and then threw back the
eartlIon. the bitches and brought
to a sufficient level to be plowed
overa He then dug little bitches
which are called "outlet drains"
from one, reservoir ditch to the

of The hill. These ontlets are

standlng on the courr-hose steps
were the soldiers with guns loaded
waiting an order to file. The crowd
surged closer and closer to the
courthouse, becoming bolder as
the darkness increased. Colonel
Colt addressed them again, or
rather attempted to do go, but they
would not listen to him. He said
that he would have to tell the sol.
diers to fire if they did not fall
back, but on they came and finally
the order to fire was given. Many
were seen to fall and the mob fled
like a lot of frightened sheep.

Napoleon Wanted to Die.
New York Recorder.

New York Recorder.
On one occasion, and on one oc-
casion only, did Napoleon Bona
parte attempt to die by his own
hand. It was at the palace of
Foutainbleau, while his abdication
was pending. He had seen Murat
and Bernadotte and Ney desert
his cause; he had grieved over the
treachery of Marmont; had learn
ed of the occupation of Paris by
the Allies troops; he had been
driven to desperation by the fierce
revenge of the Emperor Alexander
of Russia, who had refused to treat
with Napoleon or any member OF
his family, and last, but not least
of all, be had been informed that
the woman whom he had made his
wife, the mother of his child, after
starting from Bois to join him,
had been dissuaded from doing so,
and remained at Orleans.
1t was then that his mighty
spirit gave away to the crushing
weight of treason in camp and
family. He had with him some
poison, which he had secured dur
ing the disastrous return from
Moscow. The temptation to die
the death of the elder Cato or
Socrates was too strong for him.
In his own chamber he drank the
poison and lay down in the full
hope that he had ended the storm
lest career that mortal ever fol-
lowed. His hope was deceived.
The poison had lost it's strength.
He suffered the agonies of the
damned for hours. but death did
not come.
His private surgeon, Yvan, was
panic-stricken, thinking it certain
that, should the emperor die IN
that way, just then, the Allied
Powers, fearing the accusation of
history, would make him a scape-
goat. He mounted his horse and
fled, without doing anything to re-
lieve his masters suffering. But
slowly Bonaparte recovered, and it
is aaid that he always expressed
the belief that Fate, having pre-
vented him from suicide, must
have other triumps in store for his
genius. He signed the abdication
which was go CALLING to his soul,
,sivins ~ ap eeoseHez* i e~ehaaes *hst
his son might succeed 10 his i'm
perial honors, and consented to re-
tire to Elba, in the full faith that
his star had not set save to rise
again.
This faith did not desert him,
even after the final overthrow at
Waterloo. He went to st. Helena,
believing that he would come back
again, as he had come back from
Elba. Hundreds of thousands of
Frenchmen had more or less SYM
pathy with that hope. But "per-
fidious Aldion" had the arch-foe in
her clutches, and from her careful
watching he was never to escape.
