RATHER LIVELY MEETING
Held by WouId-Be South Caro-
 lima Senators.
IRBY GEES ON HIS METTLE
And Denounces Gov. ElIerbee as Perverting His Office to Further Melaurin's Cause.-The
 Latter Makes a Feeble Denial.

Greenwood, s. C., Aug. 5.-It was a very much delayed, a large and rather lively campaign meeting, that was held here today To begin with the speaking did not start until 2 o'clock, but the throng seemed to be hungry for campaign ora tory and waited and listened until night fall. The speakers stage collapsed early in the programme, but that made no material difference.
 Col. Irby today was even more vigor- olIs than usual and paid his respects to Gov. Ellerbee in brief. There was lively, time for few minutes when Col. Irby asked Mr.. McLaurin to answer a question and insisted on a yes or no an- swer and Mr McLaurin was equally as positiveHin answering the question in his own way or not at all.
 This, Col. Irby urged, was lodging. which was denied by Senator McLaurin. The controversy ended in Senator Me Laurin declining to answer this question and Col. Irby continually interrupting
 Senator McLaurin insisted it was his right to answer in his own way.
 There were cries of fair play. Col. Irby said that Gov. Ellerbee was as weak as circus lemonade and was prostitutirg his office so as to injure him and he charged that one of his friends on the constabulary force had been discharged because he would not work for McLaurin. He said there was talk of a deal for the removal of the metropolitan police from Charleston. If so he would be heard from later on the subject.

And Sal for Free America-Not Guilty of Crime, bul Made to Appear So by Bogus letters-Another Spanish Victory
 Officially Reported.

Washington. Aug. 5.-The papers in The case of Alfredo H. Hugnett, an American citizen imprisoned inCuba, which were called for from the state de- partment prior 10 the adjournment of congress, have just been printed The case is a claim for $75.0OO for damages for imprisonment. and some important points are involved.
 Hugnett r4sided in Havana and was arrested on September 6, 1896, on the sns- picion that he was connected with the revolutionary junta at New York. It is asserted on behalf of Hugnett that no evidence was found in the house against him, but that the Spanish police, in or der to make a charge, slipped an insur- gent paper upon g. center tabl= in his residence, doing the work so awkwa-dly as to be detected by Hugnetts daugh- ter.
 He was taken to prison and kept in close confinement for seventeen days, when he was expelled from tn islarid, coming to the United States. His liberz- tion was a direct result of protest upon the part of Consul General Lee, replying to which General Weyler mads the point that the imprisonment was justifiable as an act Of war regardless of treaties The Captain Generals language on tn s point is as follows:
 The country being in a state of war and therefore all constitutional guaran- tees suspended, there has been no viola tion of the precedents of international law nor fundamental procedure in mak- ing the arrest and placing incommun.ca- do such persona c ete4
 After he landed in Florida, Mr. Hug nett filed his claim for damages, his att torreys asserting that it Is more urgent than an ordinary claim for the loss of property Tine last of the documents was dated July IT, and it did not appear that the state department had decided 10 press the claim on Spain.

The roof was raised high in the air and the walls came down with a crash. The force of the explosion was so great that the eastern wall was hurl- ed into th5 riv5r, the west wall tum- bled down upon the heads of the unfor- tunate men below and the roof was torn into fragmsnts and distributed for blocks around. Every window in the vicinity of the elevator was shattered by the concussion, dozsns of persons were struck by flying debris and several fires resulted from. falling timbers that w;re still in the flames. In Jefferson and Carroll, many blocks distant, a great burning mass of wreckage fell upon flour wagons loaded with hay, set ting them on fire.

VERY HEAVY PENALTY
For Resisting a German Police Officer, but
 the American Got Out of It.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The United States consul general at Frieberg, Ger many, reports to the state department that he has secured the release of Harry Silberberg, alias John c. Drayton, of Lit tie Rock, Ark. who was condemned Jan. 20 last to two and a half years impris- onment and that he was placed on board the steamer bound for Baltimore July 22.

 Silberbergs offense was that of re- sisting one of the petty German police, which is regarded as most heinous of fense in Germany.

Work Has Virtually Ceased Families of
 Strikers Suffering Outlook Brighter.
 Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. bout of the 2,0O0 strikers who camped at Turtle Creek last Saturday barely 300 are now at Camp Detention. Tn addition to the large num- bsr of men who were turned out of camp and cut off from the free lunch distribu- tion yesterday, many were drafted to Plum Creek, where the great struggle for supremacy between the strikers and the New York and Cleveland Gas com pany will be carried on. At Sandy Creek arid Turtle Creek the strikers have practically won. Trutle Creek mine No. . is tied down as tight as the strikers can hope to close it, by their peac full means of agitation
 It is true that few men are still at work in the pit, but they are not putting out any coal. The same holds good at Sandy Creek
 Reports from Plum Creek are conflict ing. Superintendent Dearmitt claims that 255 mem are still working, while the strik- CTS say they counted but thirty goirg into the pit today.
 The deputies at Plum Creek are having q time. Many of them are complaining and many are resigning. There is no such thing as uninterrupted rest for the deputies. They are up before break of day until long after the sun has set. They are under constant strain. The sheriff has seventy-seven deputies on du- ty here and it is said this number will not be decreased for the present.
 Early this morning Superintendent DearInitt had brush with the strikers. They were on march to Plum Creek. and as he approached they opened ranks for him to pass through. When they near; d the end of the road leading into the Murray Hill road he stopped them, saying tine road was the private property of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company. The strikers held a con- sultation and concluded to march on, which they did. Dearmitt march q with them. threatening them with arrest, but no arrests were made.
 It became rumored among the camp CTS! today that President ". P. Dear mitt had mada arrangs m 5nts to bring 300 colored men to the mines from Vir- glnia, and that they would be here Sat urday. The officials of the company, whenA seen, denied the rumor, and said that nothing of the kind was contem- platsd.

CoLONIAE NAIL CONTRACT.

The New Zealand Parliament VIII
Consider Its Improvement.
New Zealand has always been
the chief supporter of the mail
service between San Francisco
and the Colonies, touching at
Honolulu. Hence the following
reference to the subject in Cover
nor the Earl of Ranfurly's speech
in opening the present session of
parliament is of interest:
As you are 20 doubt aware, the
San Francisco mail contract
shortly expires. To give Parlia
meut an opportunity of fairly
considering the question of the
carriage of mails between the
United States or Canada, the
mother country, and New Zealand,
it is proposed to make temporary
arrangements until the 3lst day
OF March next. The Vancouver
mail boats are now calling at
Wellington, without, however,
any arrangement with or obliga-
ton on the part of the Govern
ment. The time taken for the
carriage of our mails by sea un-
der the present services is capa-
BILE of improvement, and the
developments that are taking
place render it advisable for you
to give this important question
your earnest attention.
