cOHABITATIoN IN CAROLINA.
The Convention Rejects the suggess
tiOn of SmaIIs.


Columbia, s. c., Oct. s.-When the cons
stitutional convention was called to ordep
this morning an effort was made to limis
all speeches in the future to ten minutes.
but 1t failed.
The section on police and municipal
corporation was amended on motion oc
Mr.. Patton Of Richland, after a sharu
hight, so that for five successive years
from the time of their establishment
nuniclpdl corporations can exempt all
manufacturing establishments from tax
alton.
Last night, when section "a Of the Leg
islation article, reading: "The marriage
OF white person with a negro or mulatS
TO, or person who shall have any negro
blood, shall be unlawful and void" was
called up, Delegate Robert Small presents
ed a sensational amendment, TO ada the
words: And that any white person who
lives and cohabits with a negro or mulat-
TO, or person who shall have one-eighth or
more Of negro blood, shall be disqualified
from holding any Office Of emolument or
trust In this state, and the offspring from
any such living or cohabitation shall bear
the name OF the father and shall be enti-
tied TO inherit and acquire property the
same as II they were legitimate"
After an all-day battle, this amend-
ment was killed, and the original section
was adopted, with this amendment by
Senator Tillman attached: And the par
ties to such marriage shall be punished
as the general assembly may prescribe
The most important action Of the con-
vention tonight was agreeing to a reso-
luton offered by Senator Tillman, that
when the convention adjourn tomorrow,
IL take a recess until noon on Tuesday.
Oct. 10. This was adopted by vote of
SO to 80. The reasons given for taking
the recess were that a number OF the
members were sick. number Of lawyers
would absent themselves for salesday
whether they were excused or not, and
that the business of many farmers at
this particular time demanded their pres-
ence al home.
The convention devoted the remainder
of the night session to hearing arguments
for and against eliminating the right OF
band during the coverture.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 21.-The sal
mon run on this side of the bay has COM
menced, and every morning at least thirty
boats start out early with sportsmen, who
wish TO try their luck. They generally
come back with one or more beauties as
trophies of their sport. The fish caught

size, the hghtest one caught weighing
twentyone pounds and the heaviest
forty-ive pounds. They average ABOUT
thirty pounds.
The fish are quite gamy. One of the
local fishermen tussled an hour with a
large fish before he was able to land it.
The most enthusiastic sportsmen are

to business the Hobbies we're crowded with
members discussing the situation. The
consensus of opinion among the Liberals
was that the Government ought not take
the extreme step OF dissolving Parliament
on its defeat in such minor matter. In con-
versation bell-Bannermann said the
Government must find another Secretary
of State for War. A Conservative whip, re-
division, denied that there was any STRAIT
agem. He added that the Governments
defeat was the legitimate complement of
series of incidents connected with war Off
GERS mismanagement. Several Liberals
including Sir Charles Dixie, voted against
the Government. In an interview Sir
Charles said that he hoped the Govern
ment would not take its defeat seriously.
1t must get out of the difficulty by putting
back vote for the Secretary of Wars
salary. Doubtless when this was proposed
the House would agree to it.
A Cabinet council has been summoned
for o-morrow. Mr.. Campbell Bannermann,
Secretary of State for War, will offer to
resign, because of the reduction by the
House of the vote for supply Of small
arms and ammunition collected in the war
estimates. A section of the Liberals urge
the Ministers to call general party con-
ference to consider the matter of dissolving
Parliament

am inclined to the belief that there is no
need for the holding of a State convention
as suggested. Mr.. Mitchell's letter has
not arrived, and it may set forth some
very good reasons why his ideas ought to
be carried out, however"
Mr.. Gould went on to say that the regu-
lar Democratic State Convention would be
held next June, q month or two before the
National convention, and that the party in
this State would declare itself on the silver
question then.
1t was suggested that definite declara-
ton of the party's position on the silver
question, if made now, would give OPP
portunity for a years educational work.
To this Mr.. Gould replied that the last
Democratic State convention declared
itself very plainly on the silver question,
and he doubted whether convention such
as that suggested by Mr.. Mitchell would
be any more representative of the party
than the regular convention, which, ac-
cording to his recollection of the silver
plank, was out and out for free silver.
"What do you propose to do in the
matter?" was asked.
Before calling a meeting of the State
Central Committee I shall get the opinion
of number of leading Democrats on the
matter. If they think it advisable a meet
ing of the State Central Committee will be
held -

STORY OF THE FATAL ARRAY.
1t Is Told In Graphic Manner
by the Brother of the
Victim.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 21.-Ihe ex-
animation OF Joe Rodriguez, commonly
known in this community as Black Joe,"
on a charge of murder, for the kicking of
William Benson to death, took place this
evening in Judge Gardeners court. The
courtroom was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, as the defendant is a well-known
character.
District Attorney Lindsay represented
the people, while the defendant had no
counsel and asked no questions of the wit
nesses, as was his privilege if he wished.
The first witness on the stand was John
Benson, "a brother of the murdered man.
He testified that the fight occurred on June
16 and that his brother died at 4:1OP. NJ.
on the 18th. He said that he, III company
with his brother ard friend. John Storey,
all of whom resided near Ben Lomond,
was returning home from town Sunday
morning shortly after l o'clock that on
Water street they were interfered with bv
crowd of men, one of whom had some
passing remarks with his brother William,
and then jumped his brother from behind.
81 then went forward said the witness,
land said 10 my friend: "A man has
jumped Willie When 1 came back the
man was wrestling with him. l said to
my brother: Can you break loose? and
received for an answer, Il am too drunk to
fight. By this time they were in the mid
die of the road, and 1 heard my brother
say: Hold on no kickingp which were
the last words ever heard him speak.
Shortly after heard thud and he dropped
to the ground.
"The man then asked if any more wanted
anything The crowd then went away
and we then took my brother TO Bents
barn"
This concluded the testimony for the
prosecution. Rodriguez did not wish to
offer any testimony. The District Attor-
ney then said:
This is the most serious case we ever
had to deal with in the county. The kill
ing was the most brutal ever known any,
where. William Benson, an unoffending
man, was kicked to death by one, who,
while in the shape of man, acted worse
/ than brute"
| Rodriguez was held to answer before the
| Superior Court on the charge of murder
without bail.
The two witnesses, John and Peter Saw
yer, who have been held and were in jail,
were released tonight.

tory have been entirely pleasant, and the
following statement has been published for
several years in the Stanford Register:
with the approval of President Kellogg,
Professor Holden. director of the Lick
Observatory, announced that the Lick
Observatory OF the University of California
extends to the Leland Stanford Jr. Uni
versity the courtesy OF receiving its grad
yates seeking one of the higher degrees,
as A. NJ. or Ph.D., and also limited num-
Der Of special students.
"This indicates cordial feeling on the
part OF the State University, but nothing
more. No student is received from STAN
ford who is not otherwise qualified to take
up the work, and such student thereby be-
comes enrolled as stuC ent in the Uni
versity of California. The courtesy really
comes in when Stanford accepts work at
the Lick Observatory as resident work at
Palo Alto.
Director Holden's record may be as
black as it is painted, but, at any rate, he
need not be charged with crimes he has
not committed"

surgents and regulars" said M. MeDon-
ough In answer to a question. "The in
surgents are not to be despised, as the
Spaniards have found out. AT Champe
chuela the Cubans dipped their hand
kerchiefs in the blood of the men
killed and took them as mementos
for their friends. AT this same place
[ saw the execution of spy. His name
was Gonzales Padre. Three times he had
been warned not to send news to General
Campos. Then he was caught with infor-
nation of movements contemplated and
numbers in his possession. On arriv-
ing at sheltered spot the spy
was bound to a board with his
shoulders and neck only projecting
over its end. Then'tive men drew straws
for the privilege of decapitating him. The
lot fell to the youngest and smallest. who
deliberately sharpened his machete on a
stone and with swirl that could be heard
sent the mans head six feet from the
body. He was envied by every man in the
company and felt he had done his duty to
his country.
''The insurgents are well armed with
repeating rifles and machetes, or long
knives. They lack ammunition, however,
badly. The Cubans are not committing
any depredations, but are apparently most
anxious to save any waste or unnecessary
loss to property
