of the consul, who. as understand the
law. had exceeded his authority in at
tempting to prevent search of the
vessel. The constables boarded the ves-
sci, searched it thoroughly and finding
nothing contraband, made no further
attempt at seizure or arrest of any Of
the crew.
The Assistant Attorney General Of
the State was ordered to Charleston to
thoroughly investigate the matter, and
his report has been placed before me.
I am satisfied in ny own mind that the
crew Of the Fortunate" have been
dealing in illicit liquor traffic, but the
evidence to support this comes from
persons of such characters as would not
warrant me in asking for conviction
before a jury Of our couutrymen.
You seate in your letter the captain
was suspected either of having actually
sold or wanting to sell the wine which
be kept on board and, in pareuthesis,
you state "as he had the right to do
to the people of the place. L am sure
you will not hold to such conclusion
after reading our statute upon the sub
ject. which I herewith enclose for your
perusal and information.

not bound to observe themselves prohi-
bitiou laws on board their vessel, but
when it comes to making of their YES
sci a floating barroom, where wines and
liquor are dispensed to the citizens o!
this State, Or even where citizens re-
sort so drink. under such circumstances
I shall not only arrest the crew, but
would seize and con6scate the vessel as
we'll.
You further say in your letter "even
with good reason, such visit mus,
be objected to, as it was made without
asking the consent of the consular au-
thority," etc. [ cannot concur in this
opinion. I am satisfied that you will
agree with me that such consent is en-
tirely unnecessary under the circum-
stances heretofore related. [ have To-
structed the constables to search any

information, of violating the Law known
as the dispensary Law of this State.

GOVERNOR EVANS REPLY.

GOVERNOR EVANS REPLY.
The following is the reply Of Cover

from the Italian Consul General:

G. Branita. Senor, Consul General of
Italy. New York City
Sir have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your letter of he 25th
inst, in which you ask for information
in reference to the search by the con-
stables, or "police," as you call them,
of the Italian ship, Fortunate lying
at the port of Charleston in this State
You have been misiofermed as to The
number Of searches made by the con-
stables. as only one instead of two.
was made. These proceedings were had
under my orders and under a warrant
of judicial officer of this State upon
information therein stated, to the effect
that the captain or other officer of said
ship were engaged in selling wines or
liquors kept on board to citizens Of
this State. which, of course, as you are
doubtless informed, is entirely contrary
to our laws apd canuot be allowed The
eonstables before making search, by
way of courtesy only, asked for the ap-
proval Of your consul at the port of
Charleston and the same was refused

The Fortunate Fuss.
The Italian Consul in New
York Takes it up.

Italian bark which was searched by
the coastables 10 Charleston harbor.
concerning which proceeding consider
able has already been said in The State
and every other newspaper, is still a
'scasus belli," Insofar as wars of words
are concerned.
The incident is growing little more
interesting just now, aad it may get
more interesting still before it is all
over. The Italian Consul General sta
toned at the port of New York has
COW taken up the matter, and below
will be found some interesting CORES
pondence between himself and South
Carolina's new governor.
THE coNsuL's. COMPLAINT.
The following is copy of the letter
which Governor Evans has received
from the Consul General:
New YoRk. jan. 25, 1895.
To His Excellency che Governor Of
South Carolina. Columbia, S. c.:
Sir: have been informed by MIR.
Castellsno, the Italian consular agent,
that in two seperase instances the po-
lice Of Charleston has. even in spite Of
his protests, entered the Italian ship
Fortunate" now lying at that port.
As reason for such proceeding it was
given out that the captain was sus-
pecsed Of either having actually sold
or of waiting to sell the wine which be
kept on board. as he had right to do
to the people Of the place. If such
has been the case, although proceed
ings of that kind are anything but con-
sissens with the rights which the trea-
ties and international lsws secure to
foreign shipping in friendly harbor. I
would not appeal TO your excellency.
am wiling not to claim treaty rights
when that might be considered as a
protection to people who break the laws
OF country where they are admitted to
trade.
But that the accusation brought
against Capt. Espiso was absolutely
groundless it had been proved BY the
examination which the customs had
made of the very limited quantity of
wine which he kept on board, by the
sealing Of the casks, etc. The second
visit then of the police had no possible
ground of justification, and seems to-
have had no other object but that of
making sure that the captain and crew
Of the vessel we're observing themselves
prohibition laws to which they are GER
tainly not bound to submit Even
With a good reason. such visit must be
objected to, as it was made without ask
ing the consent of the consular author
ity, in the absence of the captain, and
in spite Of the protest of the officer who
was 10 charge Of the vessel.
have the honor to request that your
excel.ency will investigate the case aud
inform me by whose order these steps
were taken and 90 what ground. If
things are as [ have been Informed,
your excellency will no doubt issue in-
stroosious that such proceedings of the
police be got repeated again. I have
the honor to be. sir, Your obediens SER
want, 6. BRAS1rA.

great deal of humor not found in
reading it alone. The miss was in
short dresses and that too probably
made her favorite. Her second was
Miss Sophia Ostrason of Granite
Falls in the Painter of Seville. The
third was Miss Lydia Hornburg of
New Ulm and the fourth Erma Brain

Trotter of Dawson. It is right to state
that the five girls only differed about
six points on the marking and hence
the judges found it difficult to place
them.

JAMES A WINNER.
In The OrdtorlCal Contest Friday
Evening.

James Beecher of Redwood Falls
and Catiline's Defiance of nearly 1900
years ago won first place among the
boys in the sub-distrlct oratorical con-
test held in this city last Friday even
ing. Helen Byers and Will Carleton's
Farmer and the Wheel pulled out the
first place among the young ladies.
Miss Byers is young Montevideo
miss. Both Mr.. Beecher and Miss
Byers will be at Mankato tomorrow
evening and will appear in the district
contest.
Frank Weber of New Ulm, the
bright and only son of Judge B. F.
Weber, in Everett's Example of Our
Freedom, pulled out second place for
the boys, and as the decision was an
nounced the young man in most he
roic manner stepped across the plat
form and in the warmest possible
manner grasped the victor's hand and
offered his heartiest congratulations.
1t was magnificent stroke of youth
full diplomacy and Frank Webber
made many friends here in Redwood
Falls by the act.
Just as Prof. Boutelle of Marshall
announced that James Beecher had
taken first place with high honors
some one in the gallery tapped the
base drum. 1t was a signal to the
crowd and hundred yells went up
for the victor. His fellow students at
the school, among whom he is very
popular, rushed to the stage, seized
and raised him in the air in order
that the victor could be plainly seen.
His rendition of the heavy piece of
ancient oratory was faultless and ev-
cry one of the three judges, Prof.
Boutelle of Marshall, Tompkins of
Morgan and W. R. Edwards of Tracy,
including Referee Carlyle of the
institute marked him first. Only once
did he lose himself but recovered be-
fore tenth of the audience was
aware that he had almost made a
repetition.
Miss Byers' piece was high comedy,
such as Will Carleton produces. The
audience was in laughter all the time.
But the clever and correct interpreta
