FIRE IN THE BANCROFT.
Timely Discovery Prevented the Ship Ere
 Being Badly Damaged.


 New York, Sept. 10.-Fire started in the coal bunkers of the United States cruiser Bancroft at o'clock this morn ing. The cruiser is now in the dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard. She is be- ing prepared for trip to Constantinople on next Saturday.
 The smoke was so dense that the men had trouble in working. After some of the coal had been removed the fire was put out. Part of the crew worked with the extinguishers and the stean'fro the cruisers boilers was turned into the bunker where the fire was. The damage done the cruiser is only trifling and it is thought that she will be able to sail on Saturday.
 The fire is thought to have been caus- ed either by naphtha or coal oil being spilled in the coal bin. This oil was ig- nited either by heat from the boilers or a spark dropped from a passing candle or lantern. The officers of the cruiser say that only the timely discovery of the fire prevented the ship from being badly damaged

RAISED DISCOUNT RATE.
Unexpected Action of the Bank of En glant
 To Check Gold Exports.


 London, Sept. 1o.-The directors of the Bank of England have advanced the bank "a te of discount from per cent to 21a per cent. This is the first time that the bank has increased it's discount rate since February 22, 1894. The action of the directors of the bank was unexpected, and Is regarded as precautionary measure, having the effect to check the drain of gold to the United States and the continent. The immediate effect of the announcement of the increase was to cause a decline on the stock exchange of consols home railway shares and Amer ican rallroad stocks
 It is learned by the Southern Asso- ciated Press that the advance in the Bank of Engiand's rate of discount was the result of decision on the part of the directors of the bank to stop the sudden outflow of gold to Russia and Austria, rather than to the United States. The rate of private discount followed the bank rate Little business was done, however, few bills being offered for dis count.

 Whats Dave Hill Up Top

Columbia S. C., Sept 10-If what has been whispered about in the last few days since the revelations made by Gov ernor Evans as to what certain people know about the affairs of the state dis pensary be true, then the outside world may look for spicy reading next week bearing upon the big state scandal. The board of control has been called in eN- tra session to fully investigate the scan- dal and see what is behind it.
 Col. Willie Jones, chairman of the state board of control of the state dispensary, today notified the other four members of the board that there would be an ex- tra session on next Tuesday night.
 He was seen and asked why he had called the extra session. He replied that in view of the recent charges made by Governor Evans against Liquor Com missioner Mxson he did not see how the state. board could do otherwise than in- vestigate the matter. There were charges and counter charges by Govern or Evans and Commissioner Nilsson, and these naturally reflected on the manage ment of the dispensary. In fact, if charges like those of Governor Evans had been made by any reputable citizen 1t would rest on the board to sift the matter. This investigation was due the board itself and due the people of the state and due also Comritissioners sMiXson
 In answer to the question of what the probable action of the board would be he replied that he did not know. As chair man of the state board he felt that it rested on him to assemble the board and let it take whatever action il saw proper. In his letter of notification to the board he made no mention of his reasons for calling the meeting, but simply stated that certain business demanded their immediate attention.

Complete Return. From the Primary.

Columbia s. C., Sept. 10.-Complete of- f1cial returns from the senatorial primary have been received at last from all counties, and the very large total of S9,4S9 is shown. This is almost as large as thef largest ever boiled in the state in a primary election. Of this amount Evans has 40,166 and Earle 43,S23. giv- ing a final majority for Earle of 3157. The state committee meets tomorrow night to tabulate the figures and de- clare the result. Governor Evans will simply ask that the count be made from the return sheets. So far there isSpo in- timation of any ground upon winch he can contest the election. He said today in speaking of his defeat that he attrib- uted it more to false friends than to any thing else, and that he had no feeling of resentment whatever against the people of the state.
 General Earle made a speech last night in Beaufort, which was well.timed. He promised to put the interests of the peo- pie always above any personal ambf- ton. He was, of course, proud of the vote he. had received, but he was proud CT in having accomplished what he had so long worked for-the bringing of the white people of the state together again.
