How the Day was Spent.
Movement of the Visitors in
and Around Port Royal.

Beaufort, March 13.-Thcre is
about to be another link in the rapid
and substantial naval development of
the United States Some time ago
when there was talk Of putting the
battleship Indiana in a dry dock, it
was said that the nearest available
dry dock was at Halifax, the posi-
biiities of the dock at Port Royal
had not been tested. 1t was realized
that it would never do to send the
Indiana to Halifax, and so attention
was attracted to the just completed
dock, and inquiry showed that the
dock here as we'll as the port were in
every way suited to the task. There
are plenty of docks in the country,
but the one at Port Royal seems to
be the only one complete with a
sufficient width of gate to admit
such first class battlesbips as the In
diana
The docking has been anxiously
awaited and has been looked forward
to with great interest by the people
of the South Atlantic coast. The
railroads worked up large excursions.
and there was quite an invasion Of
visitors to see the docking and the
noted vessel They came by the
hundreds from South Carolina and
Georgia, and by noon there were
about 1000 visitors on the ground.
Those who went directly to Port
Royal saw the Indiana lying out in
the stream like floating brownstone
fort. The docks were soon crowded
with visitors, and the announce ement
that the battleship would be open to
them at O'Clock was we'll received.

Alabama on Trial.
The Investigation into Elec-
ton Frauds in 1894.

Washington. March l0.--Senasor
Chandler, from the committee on
privileges and elections, to-day sub
mitted to the senate the majority re-
port recommending the adoption OF
Senator Aliens resolution providing
for an investigation of the Alabama
State and legislative elections of
1894 Reference is also made in the
report to the previous election OF
Thomas G.. Jones. regular Democrat
as governor (Reuben F. kolb being
the opposition candidate.)
His election, the report says, was
due 10 the wholesale Justification of
returns of dishonest election officials
in pursuance of great conspiracy
deliberately organized long before the
election for the purpose of changing
the political complexion Of the State
in case it should appear that kolb and
his supporters had carried the State
Referring to the election of 1894
when Kolb was again a candidate
against W C. Oates, the report says
that Kolb was elected as well ss
majority of the Legislative candidates
on the same ticket, but that they
were not given the Offices on account
of the fact that a fictitious vote was
returned The report calls attention
to the fac: that in Is counties the re.
turns showed that $4,000 votes were
polled when in reality only 10000
were cast Instead of Oates being
elected by 27,5S7 votes, the report
declares that he was defeated by
about 1000 majority. The KoIb
legislature, the report says, was
counted out in the same way and in
both elections. the fraudulent votes
came mainly from the "black coun-
ties" that Kolb and his ticket car
ried majority of the "white" coun-
ties and that the negroes failing to
register, false poll lists were made
and false returns were certified to on
behalf of Kolb's antagonist
"The case," the report says, sis
not merely one Of local frauds which
happened here and there over the
State, but the case made is that OF
carefully planned and deliberately
manufactured masses Of fraudulent
returns based upon no votes what
ever, but made to apparently defeat a
State government that was actually
chosen and to give apparent title to a
State government defeated by the
voters.
The report concludes with a de-
tailed account of the particulars con-
cerning the organization Of the Kolb
legislature and the election by it Of
". S. Reese as United States sen
ator to hold the seat now occupied
by Senator John 7. Morgan. TIE
committee say the investigation
should be ned and the facts made
known whether they are as have
been charged or are unfounded. If
the charges are well founded, the re-
port says, it may be the duty of the
senate to oust Mr.. Morgan from his
seat. The report takes positive
grounds affirming the right Of the
senate to make the investigation.
