ALL-NIGHT TgLLMANITE TALK.
Some Picturesque Experimentation
araI White Primary Ordered.


eral white Primary Ordered.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., May i6.-An all-night
secret session of the Tilman-Irby Execu-
tive Committee, claiming TO be the State
organization. was held here last night.
having been called to meet the emergency
caused by Judge COTS decision against
the constitutionality OF the registration
laws in the face of the coming cleo
ton of delegates TO the constitutional
convention. There was strong effort
to Induce Governor Evans to call an ex-
ira session of the Legislature TO pass a
new registration-law, but he refused,
stating that II another were passed the
courts would declare 1t unconstitutional
also.
Senator Tillman. who was present, de-
clared, Notwithstanding his bitter attack
on Judge Goff, that the condition in which
his decision had left politics was the very
pest for his party. and advocated a white
primary to nominate delegates to the
convention. saying that II the conserva-
tive Democrats, his white opponents.
would not come into II. but would make
their fight In a general election, there
would be a blood and g. campaign, ana
h. would break loose in Georgia" He
said that II Judge Gon went any further
In this matter. he. for one, would advo-
cate open rebellion.
This, of course. was not intended for
publication, and was not given out by the
committee, but the reporter overheard
IL.
The end OF II was that a general white
primary was ordered to be held July Goth
TO nominate delegates TO the constltu-
tional convention. The election Will be
held late In August.
The conservatives regard this as plan
TO whip In themselves and the revolving
Tillmanites, who are making an EFFORT
to secure honest elections. They say
there Is no race Issue In the State. but
that the Tillman party Is trying TO raise
one In order to make II appear mat
continuance of election frauds Is neces-
sary TO secure white supremacy.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
New Basis for Prfces-Wage Adj
yances-Increased Consumption.


vances--Increased Consumption.
CLEVELAND, May 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review says to-day: Probably no week
OF the year has done more to establish
new basis for iron and steel prices than
the one Just ending. The advance Of blast
furnace wages in the Shenandoah Valley
near to the 1892 level. with a 10 per cent
increase at several Pittsburg furnaces
coming in its train. was followed by the
sensational stroke OF the Carnegie Steel
Company in adding 10 per cent. to the pay
of all its men, though its contract WIN
them would continue through the year
at the scale fixed January list. The pace
thus set will hardly be disregarded else
where. and added labor-cost will be made
up by higher prices on products. In spite
of repeated assertions that advances In
price could only be sustained by marked
expansion in the demand for nnlshed pro
duct, the market has been demonstrating
week by week that the lifting power Is
being applied at the other end. COKE
workers wages and coke prices were put
up in advance Of any improvement In the
market for furnace and foundry products.
Then Bessemer prices went up In advance
OF a better pg-iron outlook. Now the
blast-furnace wages have been increased
beyond anything Immediately warranted
In the market, and certain steel-mill and
rolling-mill workers at Pittsburg have
been given more pay in advance or pro-
portIonate market improvement. Events
would indicate that these various ad-
yances have been the cause rather than
the result OF increased buying OF finished
material. and thus the market Is gradually
coming into a condition which theoreti-
cally should have preceded the various
steps to higher ground. With current
pig-iron production at the rate OF 100000
tons a year, and stock somewhat reduced
In April. there is evidence that iron Is
going into consumption at rate nearly
200 per cent faster than In 1885,
In the past week special cause has
helped the market for Bessemer pig.
Buying In the valleys at Pittsburg for
shipment to Chicago In anticipation Of
a long strike brought the prices to ro76
at valley furnaces.

GOOD PLACE VACANT
Strange to Say, No Ono HU let
Applied for It.
Reaches for II After II Had Been
Disposed 0f-status Of work on
Federal Baiidias.-Per.e.ar s.A
other Notes.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., May is.-Cspe-
cial.)--A very good position is vacant In
the Treasury Department. II Is that Of
Appointment clerk and while several
virginians and North CarolInians are cast
Ing loving glances ~ the place, no one
has yet been bold enough to file an appll-
cation. The place pays something like
&a7co per year. and is a responsible one.
Vt is presumed. however, that another
Pennsylvania man will be appointed. and
al any rate the appoin Is not likely
to 60 to Virginia or North Carolina
Several additional applications for the
collectorship OF internal revenue reached
the Treasury after that North Carolina
plum had been given to Mr.. Rogers. Only
two were direct personal applications.
They came from Colonel J. w. Alspaush.
Of Winston, and j. q. Hall, OF Hickory.
and accompanying them were also high
recommendations
Friends very kindly came forward and
urgently urged the appointment Of two
other gentlemen. but they made no per-
sonal applications. and probably did not
know that their friends had been active
In their behalf. Those who were thus
urged were Joseph z. Caldwell. editor OF
the Charlotte Observer, and NJ. IL. Pinnix,
OF Lexington.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
II was stated this morning at the oSice
OF the Supervising Architect OF the Trear
sury that work Is progressing sat
isfactorily on the. Roanoke public build
ing.
There has been some delay on the build
ing at New Berne. N. c., due 10 quick
sands, and 1t has been necessary TO re-
sort to pile-driving Under the former
administration, It seems that site was
selected which had these defects. but the
trouble can be overcome.
No attempt will be made TO do anything
with the Norfolk building until after Con-
gress amends the law. There Ia money
available: but the plan now is to erect
only a post-office building. and at the
next session OF Congress Congressman
Tyler will endeavo' to have new bill
passed.
POSTAL AND PERSONAL
A post-office to be known as Valley has
been established In Mitchell comfy, NORTH

The Trouble Between Him and Mr..
Goode Arose I'm Masonic MeetiufE.

The Trouble Between Him and Mr..
Go0de Arose I'm a Masonic Meetiu,E.
Major William II. Sands. whose arrest
wednesday afternoon was reported In
the Dispatch, was in the Police Court
yesterday on the charge OF threatening
to take the life Of Mr.. James e. Goode,
and bond In the sum OF 1900 was re-
quired of him.
Messrs. Sands and Goode, as we'll as
Justice Crutchfeid, who examined into
the case. are Masons and members OF
st. Johns Lodge. No. 90. The Masonic re-
lations Of the two gentlemen who had
the misunderstanding Is. according to the
evidence adduced yesterday, the cause OF
the trouble.
The examination was not made very
searching. as the Justice was perfectly
familiar with most Of the facts in the
case, and TO have conducted a rigid In
vestigation would have necessitated the
ventilation Of certain secrets OF the Ma
sonic order which its members are
sworn not to divulge. Enough testimony
was brought out, however. to give some
idea Of the trouble
ALL ABOUT A REPORT.
Messrs. Sands and Goode have not been
on friendly terms for about twelve
months but no open rupture occurred I'M
til Tuesday night. when st. Johns Lodge
met. Mr.. Goode was a member OF a com
mittee which brought in a report that
in some manner reflected on Mr.. Sands.
Several days previous to the submission
OF the report Mr.. Sands stated to Mr..
Albert Witte that the man who made
the report would take his life in his
own hands,"
The report was read Tuesday night, and
Mr. Sands was present. AS TO what
transpired thereafter the fraters are ST.
lent. Wednesday morning Mr.. Goode re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Sands, In which
he referred to him as a ''vindctive, lying
scoundrel." Then II was that Mr.. Goode
swore out the warrant for Mr.. Sands's
arrest. The letter was introduced Ia
court as evidence. and Mr.. Witte testi-
fed as to the conversation above re-
ported. which occurred between himself
and Mr.. Sands
Mr. Sands said that he had no inten-
ton OF offering Mr.. Goode any bodily
harm. whereupon Justice Crutchheld said
II Mr.. Goode was willing he would dis
miss the case. Mr.. Goode was not will
ing, and expressed himself in unmistak
able language. He said that he had
been grossly insulted, and few years
ago would have resented II by personal
encounter, but on account Of his age. he
deemed II better to have recourse to the
court The Justice said that he would
have TO require bond OF Mr.. Sands. and
fixed the oum at 1900.
The bond was promptly given, with
Messrs. A. c. Maynard and f. T. SUIT
ton as sureties.
