The committee appointed Tuesday
night by the State executive commit
tee to arrange a schedule for the sena.
torial campaign met Wednesday
morning and accomplished its work.
The wish of the executive committee
was complied with as near as possible
as to the section OF the State where
the campaign should begin and where
it should end. Members from the Pied
mont section did not want the cam.
paien to open there as farm work
would not be so near completed as in
the low country, while representatives
from the sixth congressional district
specially requested that the campaign
be allowed to end there. Accordingly,
in trying to satisfy all parties the first
meeting was fixed for Sumter on July
5 and the last one at Florence on Aug.
%, just three days before the prim.
ary.
The following is the campaign as
arranged by the committee:
Sumter, Monday, July 5.

A. motion by MIR. Edrd that a sec
ond primary, if necessary, should be
held on Sept. ii, was adopted.

the county meetings, which was the
same as that of 1894
Mr.. Elliot said that it would be out
of the question for the people in the
upper part OF the State to attend these
meetings this early in the season.
Zee campaign should be started in the
lower part OF the State first.
ColDuel NsAl protested against con-
siderlng the schedule in its entirety,
for it could not be satisfactorily done,
he said. He thought a special com.
mittee should be appointed 10 prepare
a schedule.
Mr.. Evans agreed with Colonel
Neal. The sixth district, said he,
wanted the campaign - end there.
Col. Neal then made a motion that
a COMMITTEES Of n from each cou-
g%ressional district be appointed and
empowered to arrange a schedule.
Mr.. L,wmau thea withdrew his
schedule, ard said be believed that the
committee should have plenty of time
10 prepare such a schedule.
Lieutenant Governor McSweeney,

IS NOT TRUE.
Our Offers of Mediation Not 40
copied by Spain.
MORE LIBERAL REFORMS EXPECTED.
Among Them Is tho Establishment of .
Congress Composed of Cubans, and
Complete Control by Cuba of
Her Tariff.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-From official
sources denial is made of the state
ment that the Spanish premier,
Canovas, has sent Secretary Olney
communication accepting the media
ton of the United States on the carry
ing out of plan of autonomy for Cuba.
1t is said no such letter has been sent,
nor has anything Of such nature
passed through the hands of Spanish
officials here.
Negotiations toward home rule have
last phase of these negotiations indi-
Gated an enlargement Of the home rule
laws adopted by the Spanish cortes
last year, but not put into execution.
These arrangements embrace the
election of the entire Cuban congress,
instead of mixed congress OF 10 elected
members and 10 appointed by the queen
regent, and also complete control by
Cuba of her tariff.
The latest statement regarding Cuba's
intentions with respect to the pacitica-
ton of Cuba therefore deals with a past
phase Of them, Spain having decided on
a considerably more liberal scheme of
reform than the old one, to which the
latest publication on the Cuban subject
has reference. AS yet, however, the
negotiations with respect to the en-
larged reforms are tentative. A draft
OF them has not been received yet at
Washington, and the information on
them is of general nature.
Washington, Dec. 30.-At the state
department it is declared that there has
been no substantial alteration what
ever in the international aspect of the
Cuban question since President Cleve-
land wrote his reference to the matter
in his annual message. 1t is believed
that the death of Maceo may have sim
plified the problem.
London, Dec. 30.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from Paris saying
it is quite clear that Spain is carrying
on negotiations with the United States,
although her pride compels her to do
SO in an underhand manner. The dis
patch adds that the proceeds of the
popular loan recently issued by the
Spanish government is virtually e2-
hausted, that the buoyancy that fol-
lowed the death of Maceo is evaporat-
ing and that the government is unable
to avoid seeking an agreement with the
United States.

Marriage of Count Huitfeldt to Miss
Bonaparte at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 30.-The wedding
of Count Adam de Moltke Huitfeldt, of
Denmark, and Miss Louise Eugene
Bonaparte, daughter of the widow Of
the late Col. jerome Bonaparte, took
place in St Paul's Catholic church. 1t
was one of the most interesting inter-
national marriages which have taken
place in Washington for many years.
Owing to the recent death of the fa-
ther. of the groom, while Danish am
bassador at Paris, the plans for an in-
posing ceremony had to be abandoned
and comparatively few invitations to
the marriage and wedding breakfast
were issued.
The bride was attired IN an exquisite
gown Of white satin, the trimming Of
which was priceless old family lace.
Her veil was clasped to the hair by q
diamond crescent, the gift Of ex-Enl-
press Eugene, the BRIDES godmother.
at the residence of Mrs. Bonaparte
the gifts showered upon the bride were
exhibited to the breakfast party. They
comprised one of the most elaborate
and superb collections ever bestowed
upon q bride.
Count de Moltle Huitfeldt and bride
will proceed to St. Petersburg, which
will be their home for time at least.

Dublin, Dec. 3O.-During Monday
night and Tuesday morning the bog
slide at Castle island, County Kerry,
continued unchecked, a copious rainfall
helping The movement. The mass of
bog is mile and half wide, roars like
the ocean, carries away bridges and
roads, destroying houses and farms,
sweeping through the Flesk valley and
emptying peat carcasses of cows, sheep
and donkeys, and debris of houses into
the Lake of Killarney. The people liv-
ing in the direction in which the bog
slide is moving have fled, and the police,
searching for bodies, are arriving on all
sides. Lord Kenmare has caused COR
don of guards to be drawn around the
slide in order to prevent loss of life.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
vicinity, and all the houses there are
open to receive the hundreds of people
rendered homeless hv the disaster.
