Secretary Carlisle has written to the
chairman of arrangements of the Memphis
sound money convention of May % accept
ing an invitation to speak. He says: THE
Importance of the subjects to be considered
at the proposed convention justifies the
hope and belief that the people in all parts
of the south will take advantage of the
opportunity to be fully represented in its
deliberations by their ablest and most
trusted citizens. While the whole country
is deeply interested in the preservation of
sound currency no part OF it, in my opin-
ion, will be more injured than the south by
the adoption of a deprecated and fluctuat-
ing standard of value. Believing that a
temperate and intelligent discussion of the
subject Is all that Will be required to pro-
cure correct popular decision, 1 accept
your kind invitation, and will endeavor to
contribute my share toward the accom-
plishment of this result"

From a Trolley Car.

A fatal accident occurred on the Pleasant
Valley street car line, Troy Hill, Allegheny,
Pa, yesterday morning, in which a young
woman lost her life. A street sprinkler
was following a regular car. The motor
man lost control of the sprinkler and the
people in the car ahead became excited
The conductor shut the door. A woman,
however. reached the platform. The con-
ductor caught her and tried to hold her
back. In the struggle both fell off the
car. The womans head struck the curb,
causing instant DEATH The motorman on
the forward car put on all speed possible
and could have outrun the sprnkling car.
but the people became frightened and
jumped off.

Soil.

SOIL.
The Nicaraguan government having,
through the SaIvadorean minister at Lon
dcn. accepted the modified ultimatum of
the British government the dispute between
the two countries Is practically at an end.
Orders were cabled from London to Rear
Admiral Stephenson, commanding the Brit
ish squadron at Corinto, directing him to
evacuate the port yesterday, and this was
done
Shortly after the flag denoting that relig-
ious services were in progress on board the
warship was hauled down, the marines, who
had been drawn up in front of the custom
house, were ordered to return to their
ships.
A few minutes later the British flag was
hauled down from the government build
fEg, and soon the British had left the soil
of Nicaragua, and the long strokes of the
sailors were sweeping the heavy boats to
the warships lying in the harbor. Hun
dreds of persons assembled along the shore
to see the embarkation of the marines,
and cheer went up as the noses of the
boats headed harborward.
The Nicaraguan flag was hoisted yester-
day morning. Subsequently it was saluted
by the Royal Arthur with twenty-one
guns, and the salute was replied to from
the shore. The Satellite left for Panama

The Registration Law Was Being
Discussed Mt Columbia, s. C.
There was an exciting scene in the United
States court at Columbia, S. c., Saturday
during the hearing of argument before
Judge Golf as to whether the temporary
injunction restraining state officers from
taking further steps toward the holding CT
a constitutional convention this summer
shall be made permanent
Gen. McCrady of counsel for the state Is
the author of the registration law attacked
as unconstitutional
DIR. Sampson Pope, the defeated independ-
ent candidate for governor, who is pushing
the case for the injunction, in his speech
Saturday severely attacked Gen. McCrady,
haunting him with desiring to defraud the
negroes out of their rights to vote. dwell
McCrady law making certain aftidavits
necessary to the negroes for obtaining
registration certificates.
In reply Gen. McCrady commenced re-
viewing Pope's record showing how sud-
den was his solicitude for the negroes to
vote. He charged that Pope was actuated
only by political motives now in seeking to
have it made easy for negroes to vote.
At this point DIR. Pope sprang to his feet
ard excitedly exclaimed that this was per-
sonal, and he gave notice that he would
not submit to 1t.
Judge Golf remarked that there was no
occasion for counsel TO lose their temper.
Gen. McCrady said he had stood his pun
ishment from Pope without a word, and
was entitled TO reply to him In kind. He
said he had plenty more ammunition of the
same kind to fire at Pope, but, as the lat
ter could not stand it, and it was, after ALL
only an argument ad hominem, which class
of argument was always weak, he would
desist- He then concluded his argumt Mt
whose main object was to show tina. the
United States court had NO jurisdiction of
the case.
Judge Golf announced that he would rem
der his decision early this week The gen.
eral expectation Is that he will declare the
registration law unconstitutional At the
suggestion Of Attorney General Barber
Judge Golf signed order suspending the
injunction against w. Briggs Green, the
supervisor of registration for Richland
county, fer today, which Is one of the regu-
lar days set apart for the registration of
voters so that he can perform the func-
tons of his Office today.
There are two cases in the United States
court attacking the constitutionality of the
dispensary law. One WAS instituted before
Judge Golf by Pope and Caldwell of New
berry, S. c., and the other before Judge
Simonton by Bryan and Bryan CT Chal les
ton. S. c. Both cases will be heard at CO.

WOULDN'T SELL CUBA.
Canovas and CASTELAR, Are Agreed as
to That.

to That.
Tho New York Herald recently sent a
correspondent to Madrid to sound the adj
miniStration on the subject of selling or
ceding the Island of Cuba
Would Spain ever consent to sell or cede
Cuba?" as a question met with this reply
from the prime minister:
Not so long as we have a man and a
dollar left with which to support our right.
When we have neither and then only, will
we give up CUBA.
How can any one expect that the peo-
pie of this country, which discovered Amer
lea, should relinquish that very territory
which is ours by holy right? To US the
question Of the retention of Cuba is that
of a nations moral pride.
The Alliance question: he said, Il look
upon as settled. We made an inquiry and
found that the Alliance was outside of our
trop de Zele,' but on the part of no re-
sponsible officer, for the captain of the
Venadfto was not aboard his ship, but ly-
ing i'll in the Canary Islands.
According to international law we were
wrong. We admit it freely, and the matter
will be promptly attended to by the new
minister to Washington
When the correspondent called upon
Senior CASTELAR, he found him full of life
and vigor, and eloquent, as usual.
The Spanish nation will never listen to
any proposition for the sale of Cuba. That
l can most emphatically assure you. Our
last man and our last effort will be given
to maintaining Cuba in her integrity with
this country. Our parties may be many
and divided against one another. but every
one of us will unite like one man when it
Is question of retaining Cuba"

FEARS FOR THE FOREIGNERS.
Serious Condition of Affairs in For
mONA.

The situation in the Island of Formosa
is serious, and fears are entertained for
the lives of foreigners there. British and
German marines have been landed at An
ping. on the southwest coast to protect
the foreign residents. and Taku harbor,
south of Anping. is being patrolled by
blue-Jackers in armed iaunch hes. The BLACK
Flags are most unruly. The Black Flags
are predatory, irregular forces. They are
not in China's pay, though sometimes she
has little authority over them Warfare
Is their profession, and they depend upon
1t for bread, and they raid and rob Chinese
and others iHdscriminately. They have no
law but the commands of their leaders
They are much holder and more warlike
tnan the average Chinaman, and have lit
tie fear of death. The French were great
ly troubled by them in Tonquin. 1t is said
II the Chinese can turn the Black Flags
upon any specially hated enemy they con-
slider 1t great stroke of enterprise
1t is also SAID that the French during the
Ionqun campaign sent an officer to Tien
Tsin to complain to Ficeroy Ii Hung Chang
against the outrages of the Black Flags
and to demand that he secure their punis h.
ment. The viceroy said that he had no
more control over them than the French
Rad: they were robber scamps and China
disavowed them. China would be delighted
II the French caught them and beheade,i

A Mass Meeting of the Miners Held

Yesterday was a field day for the miners

they held a meeting one mile east of the
place upon a hill. Fully 1000 were pres

meeting was free from any incidents of

all of these are in the union. The proper

The strike has effectually paralyzed bust
