was decided that all participating in

aud that the whole convention cheered
the remnrks Of Senator Jones to the
echo, how can the Archbisho p under

that TiIlman represented the dominant

he should have informed himself

SHOOTING

A mysterious shooting which occa-
red last Tuesday afternoon in a house
on lower Henry Clay Street, created
considerable excitement. A shot was
heard followed shortly after by
screams. aud the persons who first
reached the house whence the cream
proceeded, found a coiored woman
who was shot through the body lying
in the throes of death.
She was shot in the lett side con-
siderably to the back and the bullet
passed through the body. She at
tempted to speak but did not succeed
in making herself understood.
No one saw any body come out of
the house after the shot was fired and
the ream were heard. The first
theory advanced Was that of suicide
but that was soon exploded or Mt least
considerably shaken by the finding oi
the pistol, with which the shooting is
supposed to have been done, under
the house. Suspicion points to the
husband of the deceased, bit no tan
gible clew has been unearthed a. yet.
Sheriff Beary who has been at work
on the case IL bafiled.

Report that She Landed Soldiers and
Guns in Cuba.
The collector of customs at Charles
ton, S. O., has informed the treasury
department at Washington that an en-
gineer on the steamer Commodore has
made a statement to him that the Com
modore recently landed on her last
trip from Charleston lot of arms and
a body of men on Cuban soil. The YES
sells papers on the trip were taken out
for the coastwise service as far as Tam
pa, Fla, and did not permit her TO
touch on foreign soil. The collector
says he has turned over the informa-
ton to the United States district at
torney and if the engineers state
ment is corroborated by other testi-
mony the vessel will be proceeded
against for violation of the United
States navigation laws. In case OF
conviction the Commodore is liable to
forfeiture under section 1887 of the
revised statues,

Kansas has q law, passed in 1872,
which provides that when a man is
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree he shall be confined in the peni-
Tertiary for one year, after which the
Governor may issue a warrant for the
execution of the death sentence. But
no Governor has yet taken the respon-
sibility of issuing such a warrant, and
thus capital punishment is practically
abolished in that State. Recently an
attempt was made to force an execu-
tion by proceedings designed to show
special cause for it, but the Supreme
Court decides that the matter rests en-
tirely with the Governor, and that
there can be no hanging unless he sees
fit to order it.

Great expenditures by the various
Naval Powers in recent years have
brought them tangible results in ships,
guns, ammunition and amor, notes
the New York Tribune. A reference
to the tables of the various navies,
especially of Great Britain, will prove
that there has been an enormous adj
vance in the last ten years, especially
in battle ships, upon which the fight
ing strength of feet mainly depends.
A study of the figures of expenditure
of Great Britain for her navy shows
how she has built it up, For instance,
in 1886 Great Britain's appropriations
for the navy amounted to 500, $50, 900,
while for 1895 the amount was $685.
$4,000 For the same year the APP
preparations for the United States
Navy were 1872, 1910 The improve
ments in the fighting qualities of the
warship is shown in the fact that
the English battle ship Majestic can
throw So, 400 pounds of metal from
her heavy guns at the broadside in
ten minutes, and that the heaviest
shot can pierce thickness of amor
plate equal to 49, inches. Nor have
torpedo craft been neglected. The
torpedo gunboat, a new type Of war
ship, has appeared since 1885; and
although some of TIE foreign ones
have not proven wholly successful, 1t
has been demonstrated that they are
seaworthy and useful vessels. In the
matter of amor, Harveyized steel,
averaging about fourteen inches in
thickness on the largest vessels, has
supplanted iron armor, and is far less
vulnerable. Oordite is one Of the
recent inventions in ammunition, ani
seems to be a trustworthy and usefu
smokeless powder. This consists Of
combination Of gun-cotton anC
nitro.glyce1ine, with which is also in
corporated certain amount OF vase
line, and recent tests have proven il
stability and effectiveness.

eratives, men, women and children, are
idle. The few employees of the COM
pany that did not join in the weavers'
strike found the doors of the big plant
closed Tuesday morning and the fol-
lowing notice posted IN conspicuous
places
"Ihe mills will be shut down until
further notice"
Warning had been given and an an
nouncement repeatedly made to the
stikers that this would be the result in
the event of operatives remaining
away from the looms. The weayers
were fred by desperate resolve to
hold out; each was pledged not to
submit to the reduced scale of wages
and as result more than half of the
looms we're rendered useless. The
company showed no inclination to give
in and closed the mills.
