Bands of Vigilautes Pursuing the

FLORENCE, S. o., March 31.-The
bands OF vigilantes who started last night
IN pursuit of whisky spies returned this
afternoon having thoroughly beaten the
bush for the governors agents. They
passed during the night within hailing
distance OF their game, as the beaten
racks found in the morning showed,
but all to no purpose. The spies are

whereabouts of the spies was obtained.

The Situation at tCharlsstOn-MeetinE of
tho militia.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March 31.-The
most intense excitement has prevailed
here today. The bulletin boards of the
News and Courier have been surrounded
all day with crowds of excited people,
but the utmost good order has pre-
vailed. The following addresses were
issued this afternoon and pasted en- the
bulletin boards:
To the People OF Charleston:
The situation in the state is one of
exceeding gravity. 1t is Of the highest
importance to Charleston and to the
state that in this crisis the citizens of
Charleston shall do all in their power to
preserve absolute peace and quiet in tho
city. We appeal to all good citizens
without respect to political affiliations,
to lend their efforts in this behalf. Let
us abstain from all assembling of our
selves or public demonstrations.
(Signed) JOHN F. FICKEN,
JOSEPH w. HARNwELL,
GEORGE B. EDWARDS,
CHARLES lNGLEsBY,
A. W. MARSHALL,
j. u. dEMPHlLL.
The effect of this appeal was good.
This evening when the Newberry
rifles, Captain McCaughty, arrived, they
were met by a large crowd at the depot,
whose purpose was to dissuade them
from going to Darlington. The company
got off the cars near the state prison and
marched thereto, being followed by the
citizens. A platoon of penitentiary
guards came out of the gate and leveled
their guns at the crowd, ordering them
to halt, declaring they would shoot.
Col. John Haskell, a prominent citizen,
got in carriage and drove up to the
gates aud had parley with Captain
Allen OF the guards. Haskell demanded
by whose orders he was prevented from
coming to the penitentiary to speak
with Captain McCaughty- He WAS
told that Assistant Adjutant General
Watts WAS responsible, and Haskell
thereupon declared that it was damned
outrage, and that the courts would set
tie the matter. Captain McCaughty
then addressed the crowds, saying that
his company would not go to Darling
ton. Shortly afterwRrd the company
withdrew from the prison and went to
the Hotel Jerome.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
panT'S manager is recesviGg everything
offered him for transmission, Disregard

is acting under the Instructions of his
superior officers, and will accept every
thing offered as long az he remains in

HOUSE FKoUEEDIN Gs.

Crisp ApplAuded.


Crisp APpIAudsd.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-In recogni-
tion OF the personal sacrifice Speaker
Crisp made yesterday in refusing the
senatorship, there was a burst of ap.
plause this morning when he ascended
the rostrum to call the house to order.
Immediately after the reading of the
| journal, Payne OF New York rose to q
question OF personal privilege and made
an explanation II the incident which
occurred last Thurs lay afternoon, when
the speaker had stated in reply to a
seeming defiance OF the chair by Payne,
! when the latter was ordered to take hih
seat, that he would recognize motion
to bring the contumacious member to
| the bar of bhe house. Payne stated
| that on that occasion the reply he made
that he would take his seat when he got
ready was in response to something said
by Cultivate, not to the chair. Payne's
statement led to mutual explanations
from Outhwaite and the speaker, which
seemed to clear up the incident.
The struggle over the O'Neil-Joy cleo
ton case was not resumed, as the day,
after O'Clock, by special order adopted
some time ago, was devoted to eulogies
upon the late Representative O'Neill of
Pennsylvania. Before that hour arrived,
however. come routine business was
done by unanimous consent.
A conference was ordered on the sem
ate amendment to the bill prescribing
the limitations for perfecting titles to
land in Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
under the donation act.
On motion OF Everett of Massachusetts,
the bill to amend the act prescribing
punishment for the crime of barratry was
passed. This bill, which was asked for
by the marine insurance companies of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
changed the penalty from death to i'm.
prisonment for life.
Catchings reported the river and har-
Dor bill.
Martin, chairman OF the invalid pen.
HionS committee, asked unanimous con-
sent that the previous question be con-
sidered, as ordered on the pension bill
reported favorably from the committee
of the whole at Friday nights session.
Bailey of Texas objected.
At this point the hour of l O'Clock
having arrived, the remainder of the
day was devoted to eulogies upon the
life, character and public services OF the
late Representative O'Neil of Pennsyl-
vania. Those who paid tribute to the
memory of their late distinguished col
league we're: Messrs. Wise (Va.),
BroSius (Pa.), Morse (Mass.), English
IN. J.), Hicks (Pa.), Springer (Ill.),
Robinson (Pa.), Rsamey (Pa.), Adams
(Pa.), and Wright (Pa.)
At the conclusion OF the speeches, as
a further mark OF respect, the house, at
2 40 D. m., adjourned.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Ssrgeant-at-
Arms Snow of the house of representa-
tives has made an effort to arrest W. @.
P. BreckinTidge, now concerned in the
breach OF promise suit, and bring him
to the house in accordance with the
special order adopted in regard to abb
sentees. The order was adopted to
secure a quorum on the O'NeiI-Joy case.
Representative Patterson of Tennessee,
in charge Of the election case. put
through resolution Thursday that the
sergeant-at-arms be directed to arrest
and bring to the bar of the house all
absent members. A general warrant
was prepared and signed by the speaker.
To avoid the trouble arising when
arrests were made during the silver
debate the names OF absent members
we're specified in the body Of the writ.
1t is the first time snch precaution has
been taken. The name of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge OF Kentucky was, OF course, among
the absentees. as he has been continu-
ally absent since the sensational suit
began. The warrant was given to
Deputy Sergeant-at- Arms w ilson to serve
on Mr.. Breckinridge. The officer went
to the court room First Assistant Ser
geant-at-Arms Moeller accompanying
him, owing to the care it was thought
desirable to exercise. The case was in
progress and Colonel Breckenridge hap.
pened to be on the stand at the time.
The officers first saw Marshal Wilson of
the District of Columbia, who is the ex-
ecutive officer of the court. The warrant
was shown and Mr.. Wilson stated the
warrant could not be served while the
party wanted was an attendant on the
trial. The house officers had no desire
to adopt harsh measures. They recog-
nized that serious conflict of authority
between the house and the court might
occur. Having done their duty, as far
as practicable. it was deemed expedient
not to attempt the arrest or to disturb
the defendant in the case by presenting
this further complication to him. Had
the attempt at actual service been made
Marshal Wilson would undoubtedly
have resisted it. But the warrant is
now being executed as to the other alb
sent members. Three deputy sergesnts
have left the city to arrest congressman.
