Professor Sloan, tho acting presi
dent, mado a statement similar tC
that already printed.
Captain w. B. Lowrcnco is The
largest merchant in Columbia. His
version Of tho trouble did not differ
from those given. Asked what in
his opinion caused tho fight, ho SAID
it was General Watts command to
Colonel Jones to "March your com
mand forward"
Several studonts testified.
Tho last witness o. tho day was
Captain Joseph X. Albion, Il Colum
bia lawyer and former commander of
tho Richlund Volunteers, ono of the
companies in tho riot. lIc rcl9tod
seeing tho foul ball that struck Mai
or Evans horse. General Watts
said:
"fou boys must get back"
a littlo afterwards Goncral Watts
struck the pommett Of his saddle
three times and said:
cpl mako you got back"
lio then ordered Colonel Jones tC
advance. Tho battalion marched M
near tho grand stand After the
row began he won't over to quiet the
! Volunteers, as ut ono timo he was
commander of that company. About
that time no heard Gcncrul Watts

''If You can't command your men
turn thcm over to their captains"
Captain Aston did not hear Col

He had his bayonct fixed, but die

Negroes and citizcns, said Aston
! broke through tho lines and he woult
,avr done the Same thing but fol
! his familiarity with military affairs
: There was no fight bctwcon the mi
litia and the students, but all tn,
while the officers were trying to keol

Washington, June 0.---There seems
to be something peculiarly appropri-
alto ir. the elevation to tho Senate,
right in the midst Of tho tariff do
bate, Of tho man whose tariff speech
in tho house created more comment
than that Of any other Democrat.
''Equality in the burdens and
equality in tho benefits" as Senator
Bacon so tersely put it, was the un-
d"rlying principle of the speech of
Hon. John il. McLaurin as Il NOM
bor of tho house; and as II member
Of the house committee Of ways an}f
means and as senator he>.is active
and at all times watt55hinl Of Southern
Ni11tnlrsts.
Somo OF the Republicans, with
wh1m, perhaps, tho wish is father to
the thought, have had a good doal
to say about Sthe "Southern protec-
tionists" who have been developed by
this tariff fight. Senator NcLaurin
is ono Of those.

Some OF the Republicans, with
whom, perhaps, tho wish is father to
the thought, have had a good doal
to say about tthe "Southcrn .protec-
tionists' who have been developed by
this tariff fight. Senator NTcLaurin
is ono Of those.
NOT A PROTECTIONIsT
Not that he is a protectionist;
neither that he nor tho others favor
tho principles of protection as inter
preted by the Republicans in their
blind advocacy of the trusts. But
neither he nor tho others arc free
traders. That New England branch
Of Democracy which is SO largely re-
sponsihle for the inAiction Of Clevo-
landism anG which so blindy fol-
lowed that wrecker in his efforts to
commit the party to tho gold stan
dard, cid try to fastcn upon tho
Turty that other article of British
faith FREQ trade But it failed i'm
tho one just rs it failed in the other.
The men who in this congress stand
for the Democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue disavow any belief in
the doctrine Of absolute free trade
just rs strongly as they disavow bo-
lief in the. Republican idca of taxing
all the people for tho benefit of the
trusts and tho combines which arc
able to make large contributions to
the campaign fund. And they stand
aquar"ly to the proposition that in
making tariff bill thcro should be
no discrimination of benefit or of
burden upon the South.
As | 5havo said, Senator McLau-
srinissspecch in tho house attracted
much attention. 1t was because of
his hold declarations against Il sec
tional tariff. To-day L found him
at his pleasant home on | street,
where he was busy with his mail.
an article OF which every senator
gcts goodly quantity. I'm the lot
on his desk There were many lcttc
OF congraLuIation from different parts
CT tho country, for in his service in
tho house the gentleman from
~Sonth Carolina has made very many
friends.
l asked him if he expected TO
make tariff speech in The senate.
81 shall make no set Speech"
said he, "sinco my viows are we'll
known through my speech in the
hou.". Besides this, my party in
the senate has already decided on u
line Of action and had begun tho de-

Taxpayers Meet and Discuss Town FL
nances-Easier Festival.

A number OF the taxpayers OF Cranston
met in Tillinghast's assembly rooms on
Westminster street, Providence, on Satur-
day afternoon.
The meeting was called xto order by
town engineer, Joseph A. Latham. Mr..
Latham said that the object of the meet
ing was 60 get the opinion Of tho Leading
taxpayers In regard 60 the several appro-
priations asked for so that the business In
the financial meeting may be done with
little friction and in few hours instead
Of the largest portion OF day.
Moderator Edwin Pierce was chosen chair
man.
The meeting was In session nearly two
hours. The majority OF those present
favored the appropriation of all the money
asked for in the call and "a tax rate OF 81. I'D
on every 500 valuation. Town Treasurer
Hugh Is. Balm explained 10 the citizons
why IL will he best 10 authorize the
issuance OF the $3.50, 600 worth OF bonds.
Mr.. Balm said tbat the rem, win of out
standing notes and paying tno interest on
the same are very troublesome transac-
tions.
What the tax rate should be provoked
much discussion. Councilmen Frank
Budlong and John NJ. Dean favored the
idea of paying as we go and liking tho
tax rate high enough to do that. Treas
urcr Balm said that the sentiment is
~
a higher rate is necessary. Senator Edward
Stanley spoke strongly in favor of
tax rate sufficiently high TO pay
expenses. Messrs. Charles %. Bennett,
James &. Conroy and Joseph L.. Sanders
favored the 81. 10 rate.
Councilman Budlong opposed the ap.
propriation Of $1,000 for the extension Of
Auburn street to Pontiac road, as this
street would OF necessity be extended
through private land, and IL is not needed.
Messrs. Joseph Sanders and William
Dutemple spoke in favor Of extending the
street, while Mr.. William Cross opposed
IT, with Mr.. Budlong.
When the requested appropriations for
public libraries were about TO be approx
ed, Judge John Palmer moved that the
matter be passed until Monday, upon
the ground that approving the request
was taking unfair privilege with the
money of people who were not there 10
assent or dissent. The motion caused
much discussion, but was lost IL Is prob
able that this meeting Will give one "a
fair idea Of what Will be appropriated in
Monday $ meeting.
