WASHINGTON, Oct. 23:-Senator But
ler. as chairman of the Popullst ma
tional committee, has issused clrcu'
lar in which he claims to have lntor'
nation that it is the Intention OF the
Republican managers to attempt TO
control the approaching election by
the use of money, and urging the
friends of Bryan to be on their guard
against all efforts at either purchase

INV advice to the supporters OF Bry.
au," he says, "is to keep every eye
open to these games. Let them place
cool, game men on guard at every pre-
cinct, sharp enough to expose these
schemes and TO use the best and most
legitimate methods to frustrate them:
I believe that the penitentiaries Will
be the proper place for all scoundrels
who try to prevent an honest election.
Coercion, intimidation and every other
un-American means has been used so
far but it will become a more serious

Sad End of a Defaulter,

FREDERICKsBURG Va, Oct. 21-W.
T. Rambusch, the defaulting banker
of Juneau, Wis, shot himself in the
right temple during the night in this
city, dying instantly. His body was
found sitting on bench in the nation.
al cemetry cary this morning, still
grasping the pistol with which the
suicide was committed. He arrived
here a week ago and registered at the
hotel as g. T. Anderson, and since
then he has been visiting the bate
fields in the vicinity of Fredericksburg.
About 800 was found on his person.
Friends from Juneau have telegraphed
for the body to be forwarded there.
The following note was found in his
pocket:

Dispensary Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The Su-
preme Court to-day heard argument in
one of the South Carolina Dispensary
cases. The cases before the court grew
out of the seizure of liquors imported
into the State last December by James
Donald, he claiming them to be for
his own use and consumption. 1t
came up on an appeal from an injunc..
ton granted by Judge Simonton OF
the U United States Circuit Court. Don.
aid had brought suit against four con,
stables for an Injunction to. prevent
them from seizing wines, liquors, etc.,
imported by him in the future
for his own Use. The injunction was
granted, and the State authorities ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. Attor'
ney General Barber of South Carolina
appealed for the State and j: L. r.
BRYAN represented Donald. The lat
ter argued that the law was unconstl-
tutional because it forbade CONNER.
cial intercourse between the States and
because it denied to the product OF
some States police inspection proVld-
ed for liquors from other States. Lie
contended that if this principle were
admitted the State could exclude from
use by her citizens all products OF
other States. Attorney General Bar
ber argued that the State had the
right to exercise her police powers in
order to give her citizens pure liquors.
lie said that 80 per cent. of the liquors
consumed in South Carolina were
manufactured in other States. In con-
| nection with his defense of the law,
he cited statistics to show that the ef-
feet of this "police MEASURE" had been
| to reduced drunkness in the State 50
| per cent. and the consumption OF H.
quor 81 per cent. Both Mr.. Bryan
and Attorney General Barber agreed
to the coupling of this case with ex-
parte Snyder, which is on its way to
the Supreme Court from the Circuit
Court, being q decision declaring the
the Act of the last South Carolina
Legislature, modifying the original
Dis pensary law, TO be, like IT,, uncon'
stitutionai. Attorney General Barber
said that the State was exceedingly
anxious for a final adjudication OF the
question and stood ready to agree TO
ANYTHING with that end IN view.

Worse than In Cuba.

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-A San Francisco
special to local paper says: The Gu
ban atrocities are mild compared with
those taking place in the Philippine
Islands, where the Spanish are trying
to suppress revolt of the natives
Some Indication of affairs have been
learned from Oriental papers. The
most shocking incident Of the bloody
reprisals was the treatment of a Span
ish lieutenant and his family. The
Spanish had captured a number of
prisoners and as an object lesson to
the natives disemboweled two and
hung their bodies on one of the gates
of the town. The infuriated rebels,
eager for vengeance, gathered force
an hurried to the home of Spanish
lieutenant on the outskirts oi Manila.
They captured the officer and his wife
and ~ year old daughter, and then
began bloody scene of torture. The
most savage instincts of the natives
were aroused. Before the eyes of his
wife and daughter, the lieutenant's
skin was slit all over his body. Then
the torturers crucified him, pinning
him outstretched to a tree with their
long knives. They tortured the WON.
an and girl, giving the fullest play to
their animal instincts and wreaking
disgusting vengeance before the dying
eyes of the husband and fsther. The
Spanish are doing their best to keep
the news of these atrocities from leav.
ing the islands, opening and inspect
ing all the mail. They particularly
desired to keep unknown the death OF
thirty eight prisoners in one night in
"the black hole"

Sill pIayIug the Fool.

ATLANTA, Oct. 2O.--The Populist
State executive committee met today
to act on any reply which the Demo.
cratic executive committee might
make. The Democrats authorized a
reply, but did not prepare it today
Tonight the Populists met again. Tom
Watson, ii. w. Reed and George K.
Washburn were with the committee.
Some wanted TO fuse with the Repub.
licans. Others urged that the Popu-
list electoral ticket in this State be
taken down and the party followers
be left free to vote as they pleased.
Mr.. Watson opposed fusion with the
Republicans, declaring he would rath-
er lose an arm than see it. Messrs.
Reed and Washburn have been threat
ening on the outside that the Popu-
lists would fuse with the Republicans
unless the Democrats made great con-
cessions to them. The meeting may
last all night.

A Terrible Killing.

LAMAR, s. c., Oct. 21.-Brooks Nc
Kensie was shot dead in the public
road near Alcott, Darlington county,
by Charlie Hatfield last night. They
were both young white men, and had
been chums. Brooks, followed by his
dog, meeting Charlie, said in a Joking
way: 'Iook out; I'll set my dog on
you" The latter spoke roughly; the
other replied indiilerently. Charlie
then drew his pistol and fired, killing
McKensie instantly. Bending over the
body of the murdered man, Hatfield
said: "][ang, or no hang, I've killed
you;" so testify two witnesses pre- sent.
Hatfield has not yet been caught, but
is supposed not to be far away.

Now it is the decision OF this jury
that J. S. Campbell is responsible to
the county for this sum of 81. SIG, and
that J. S. Campbell, j II. Hopkins,
Comptroller General James Norton,
and all others who are required to
witness settlements, and whose names
are appended to the settlement sheets
of 1893 81, are equally responsible for
the error, and have been careless in
the administration of their official du-
ty, inasmuch as they allowed credit
to be given a treasurer in his final set
tlement under the head of "delin.
quent taxes, with 15per cent penalty"
for 81, 500 more than he was entitled
to under this head, and that they &C
cepted a receipt for a book, stating
that the recapitulation of book, given
by the incoming treasurer to the out
going treasurer, as the proper vouch-
er for delinquent taxes, with Is per
cent penalty when they should have
taken as the only proper voucher the
abstract of the book for which the re
ceipt passed which should be on lille
in the auditors and Comptroller Gen
erals offices.
Mr.. j. II. Hopkins gives as his ex'
cuse for his seeming carelessness that
he assumed the duties of his Office just
at the time that this book was beng
made up. That the book was being
made up in the treasurer's office in
stead of the auditors Office, and was
just about completed when he inquired
after it; that no abstract was ever filed
with him of said book that he was
told that it was customary for this
book to be made up in the treasurer's
office, and that he had not had time
to acquaint himself sufficiently with
the law bearing upon his duties as au:
ditor and that he has since complied
with the law in regard to this matter
in every particular. This jury con-
siders this reasonable excuse.
We recommend that J. S. Campbell
be required to pay to the treasurer of
Richland County the sum OF Sl,S7G,
the amount of over credit under tax
es delinquent, with Is per cent penal
ty, in the settlement of 1893 "a.
We call attention to the attached
communication from j. s. Campbell:
Since the typewriter part of our re-
port was made up Treasurer Folk ap-
peared before us and produced re-
ceipts for poll tax, which he procured
from different persons whose names
do not appear on the books, the said
receipts having been signed by Ex-
Treasurer S. Campbell, and covering
period of several consecutive years.
He further alleges that there are nu-
merous cases like the above, in view
of which we ask for more time in
which to investigate the matter,
through a committee of this'jury, and
that we be allowed under the next
term of this Court TO report upon the
same. We thank your Honor and
the other officers of the Court for cour
tesies extended.
Respectfully submitted.

schemes which have been urged be-
fore succeeding general assemblies

those who have been working for them
are to be successful in their efforts.
Governor Evans is still absent from
the city and consequently none OF
these petitions have yet been granted.
The papers appear to be complete,
however. and no doubt the elections
will be ordered Immediately upon the
return of the chief executive. All the

requires.
We recommend that j. r. Hopkins,
auditor, be required to furnish salts
factory proof to the Court that the
cancalled school checks pertinent to
the settlement Of 1893 81 amounted to
the credit given Treasurer Campbell
at the time The settlement was made,
and if he be unable to do so that he be
called upon TO explain to the Court
why they are not now on file in his
Office to the amount of the credit
given.
That in the settlement Of 1899 "a 4
credit has been allowed j. S. Camp
bell, treasurer, under the head of de
linqeuent taxes with 15per cent pen
altyn the sum of SO, 952. That the de.
linauent taxes OF this year amounted
only to $11,OSG. The explanation of
the Comptroller General, the auditor
and the treasurer, j. S. Campbell, are
that previous to the settlement the
treasureris office had been turned over
to l.. B. Folk; that j.. Il. Folk had
given a receipt to j. S. Campbell for
the book containing the list of delln-
auents, and that he had stated in this
receipt that five books showed are
capitulation of $12, 9G2; tha! they were
compelled to take this receipt as the
proper voucher for the credit given j..
S. Campbell. Now on this book there
is 81 treasurer's cost for execution to
be issued, amounting in the aggregate
10 81 ,87G which was included in the
recapitulation of $l2, ,962, and for
which no credit ST. ould have been al
lowed j. S. Campbell.
