 Well Arranged Program of Songs,
 Readings and Tableaux Greatly En-
 loved by the Large Audience.
 The Daughters of Scotia, the ladies auxiliary of Clan Mcleod, No. S1, o. 5. c., gave a most successful entertain ment in their hall, No. 400 State street, last night. The hall was crowded with members and friends and Mrs. George Wallace, chief daughter, presided, and introduced the various performers. The following ladies and gentlemen took part in the program: Madames Mc- Kenzie, McArthur, w. H. Me1kle, Hen derson, Davidson, Reid and Bone; Misses Cameron, M. and J. Davidson, N. Mel kle. J. B. and M. Henderson, and M. Mcintosh, Messrs. R. McArthur, J.J McArthur, Barnet and Liddell ana Masters A. Terrell and P. Jones.
 The singing was so warmly received 4hat encores were freely demanded and rendered. The reciting of MT. J. Hen derson also received a hearty ovation. The dialogues and tableaux were very successful, and would have done credit fo professionals. Altogether the com mittee is to be congratulated on the un- oualified success of the entertainment The program, which is given below,

 Bombs Planted in the Roadway.
 Havana, April 29.-General Calixto Garcia's command won a big victory over the Spanish troops near Guamo, and General Nicholas Del Key has been recalled to Havana from Santiago de Cuba by order of General Weyler.

Two hundred Spanish sol diers were blown up by the bombs and 250 men slain by the insurgents dur ing the confusion and excitement of the panic stricken Spanish column. The bombs had been planted in the road on which the Spaniards were marching.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.
The Medical Corps Will Have
to Be RecommisSioned and
Assigned.
Appointments and Changes in the
First Regiment of Infantry.
Target Practice.

The one thing that is agitating the members
OF the National Guard at this time is the mat
ter OF uniforms, and the question is, Will they
when delivered be of the standard called for
by the Specifications? The specifications are
those of the United States army and if these
are followed and garments turned over SINH
lar 10 those delivered to Uncle Sans men
there will not be any ground for complaint.
There has been considerable comment about
the absence of Captain jerks of Company A.
First Cavalry, and the inability to serve papers
on him IN the matter of the cour s-martial
There are friends of The absent captain who
say he Is not in hiding and is not seeking to
AVOID service oil eourtmartial papers. but that
he is in the southern part of the State attend
ing to the 1ulhllment of certain contracts and
that II the authorities are very anxious TO find
him they can do so without much trouble
This department has several occasions
called attention TO the mixed up condition of
the laws oil this state governing the National
Guard, the result of the legislators wishing to
please number of individual who introd1,ce
g military bill At the last held session OF the
Legislature there was passed an amendment
10 section 1881 of the law governing tho
medical department which gave 10 eacn brig.
adler general, with the consent of The com
mander-in-chief, the right 10 muster in and
attach to his brigade hospital and am bulance
corps not to exseed twelve men for each reoi-
ment. subsequently, without repeating that
section, there was added q new section No
2009, which provides that "the medical do
partment OF the National Guard of California
is hereby organized into q sanitary corps
which shall consist of one surgeon general
with the rank OF colonel who shall be the ex-
ecutive head OF the corps, and such number
of commissioned officers, non-commissoned
officers and privates as may be required 10 fur
nish an efficient service for the organized
strength of the National Guard" The two
sections being in conflict, the Adjutant Gem
erals Office at Sacramento was i'll grave doubt
as to which section to follow and concluded
to lay the matter before the Attorney General
for his opinion.
This was rendered last week, and the judg-
ment of the Attorney-Genera! Is that the new
section supersedes the amended section, and,
therefore, the commander-in-chief will have
organized sanitary corps under the provi-
sfons OF the new section, aud that those who
prior TO the adoption of that section, acted as
Ieglmental surgeons, will have 10 be commits

Served Him Right,

Woman suffrage counts for some.
thing out in Kansas. The women are
learning something about politics,
and they are making use of that in
formation. A casa in point is illus
trated by story from Kansas City.
There was an election in Kansas City
a few days ago for mayor, and Mr.. B.
L. Short who, it was generally sup
posed would win hands down, was
defeated by less than thirty votes.
The reason of his defeat is said to be
his alleged treatment of Miss Sadie
Parsons. He had been engaged to
Miss Parsons for IL years. Finally he
agreed with her as to the date upon
which the marriage was to take place,
and within two days afterward mar
ried another woman who had but re-
Gently been divorced from her hus.
band. Miss Parsons told all about the
affair at the time, and when the city
election came on the story was rsviv-
ed and industriously circulated among
the women of Kansas City. The wo-
men did not vote against Short solidly,
but enough of them voted against him
to ensure his defeat, and his treatment
of Miss Parsons is the only reason
that isassigned. This is what may
be termed practical politics, and it is
creditable to the ladies that they stood
by their sister when it came to voting.
They treated Short exactly right.

Tho Dingiey Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, March 3L-With to-
morrow morning the duties imposed
by the Dingley tariff bill will be In
force and the present law will pc q
thing of the past if the Last amend
ment attached to the bill before its
passage in the House today, fixing to-
morrow as the day on which its pro-
visions shall 60 into effect, should be
in the bill when it is finally enacted
and should be held to be legal by the
courts. The Republican victory to-
day was complete. They presented
an unbroken front, to the opposition;
all the rumors that dissatisfaction with
particular schedules of the bill might
lead some OF them to break over the
party traces proved absolutely un.
founded! On the other hand, five
Democrats, one more than was antlci-
pated, braved the party whip and
gave the bill the approval of their
votes. These five Democrats are IN
teri sted particularly in the sugar
schedule. They were: Messrs. Brous-
sard and Davey of Louisiana and Kie'
berg and Slayden of Texas. One
Populist, Mr.. Howard Of Alabama,
voted for the bill. Twenty.one other
members of what is denominated
1.-THE opaosition", consisting OF Popu-
lists, fusionists and silverites, declined
to record themselves either for or
against the measure. The vote on
the final passage of the bill stood: !:
Ayes, 2O5; nays, 122; present and not
voting, 21-a majority of SO.

and T. L. Cant. When DR.. Pope's
case was brought to the attention of
the President today he informed DR..
Pope that the place he desired had
already been assigned to another per.
son. DR.. Pope would have liked to
have remarked that he would cheer
fully accept something equally as
good" but the Presidents time was
valuable, besides the members of the
South Carolina party wanted a few
words with him. The President re.
quested MIR. Jennings to file his papers
with the Secretary of the Treasury,
adding that when the Charleston ap.
pointments are taken up, his claims
will be considered with those of other
applicants. DR.. Pope will look
around and see what other place he
will asrire to. He seems to be aiming
quite high, but he may strike some
thing low in the end.

Sight Came to the Blind.

BALTIMORE, March 31.-Thomas
Blue, a young man of %, from Hof,
man, Richmond county, N. c., who
was born blind, was brought here
about two weeks ago and put at the
Maryland General Hospital for blind.
ness. Today the young man returned
to his home in Richmond county with
better eyesight than a great many
people and the prospect Of constant
Improvement. He Is now able to
count figures at a distance of more
than twenty feet and can see small
objects near him. He will bs able to
read with the aid of glasses. Before
leaving the hospital young Blue went
through the institute thanking the
physicians, especially DR.. Geo. Rsul-
ing, professor of opthalmology, for
what they had done for him. The
young mans happiness, as he obtained
his first sight of the beauties of nature
heretofore hidden and unknown to
him, appeared to know no bounds.
He said life felt as though he were en-.
tering an entirely new world, because,
with the aid of glasses, he could not
only see the faces of his friends, but
his home and surroundings as we'll.
He was taken out to the park in the
afternoon and then shown about the
city. The world as he saw it for the
first time was a constant revelation OF
wonders.

The estimate now is that the receipts
from the phosphate royalty for the
current year will be about $40, ,000, and
this is rendered possible by the fact
that the Coosaw Company now has
35, 900 tons of rock on hand.
AsOLE SURVIVOR.
Talking about Coosaw reminds one
of the fact that out of the score or
more companies that have undertaken
the phosphate mining business the
Coosaw Company is the lonesome
survivor. 1t is striking commentary
on the vicissitudes of such business to
note that there is such graveyard
full of phosphate companies, with the
simple legend, "Busted." J
BEAUFORT VISIT CUT SHORT.
The phosphate commissioners and
their friends expected to "take 9 day
off" today and run down to Bay Point
and see how many drum and other
fish they could catch. The Juno"
had been rendered for the occasion
and all were ready for pleasant day
About midnight, however, a rain set
in and soon afterwards the wind rose,
and by morning there was q heavy
blow-hard enough to knock the bot
tom out of the proposed rip-and so

bia via the Charleston and Western

A THOUSAND HOMELESS

CHANDLER, Okla, April 1.-Al-
though the tornado struck Chandler
forty.eight hours ago, a very little
search of ruins has yet been made, and
if is feared that the death roll may be
considerably increased. Scores of in
jured are under the care of physicians
who have come here from all parts of
Oklahoma. None of the wounded
had succumbed today, though some of
them cannot possibly recover. Near
ly all of the men slept in the streets
last night where fires were kept blez-
ing. The women were cared for in the
few houses which were not destroyed or
found shelter in the tents sent from
surrounding towns. Fifty special po-
licemen effectually protected the prop
erty of the citizens. A thousand peo-
pie are homeless. Help on large
scale is needed. Lawyer John Daw-
son and Edgar Demoss, the barber,
who are numbered among the dead,
were eating supper in Wallances res.
turant when the tornado came up and
the building collapsed. Dawson, who
left wife and two children at Alma,
Neb., was instantly killed. Demoss
was pinioned by his right arm, but
was not injured. He cried for help,
but no one could reach him through
the fire. He begged for some one to
cut off his arm, but the horror. stricken
crowd was compelled to see him roast
ed to death. Search in the ruins is
necessarily slow anda true list of the
dead and injured cannot be made for
several days.

The Western Floods,

JACKSON, Miss, April 1.-Green-
vile telegraphs at noon: Reports
come hourly from. all points in the
flooded districts show the situation is
rapidly growing woree. There are
now some 25 towns and villages more
or less overfowed. Greenville will
get considerable water, perhaps not as
much as in 1890, perhaps more. It is
all matter of conjecture. The bot
tom lands are full OF water from rains
before the breaks occurred. This city
is now an island, situated in a wilder.
ness of water, which surrounds it on
every side. As yet the water is not
in sight of the town, but is at the
Blanton gin, half mile north, and at
the Montgomery place two miles
south. Black bayou. Williams ba.
you, Deer creek and Fish lake are all
out of their banks. A meeting of the
city council is being held at this writ
ing at the mayors Office to take the
necessary steps toward the safety of
the people, and for such relief as can
be afforded to the flood sufferers.
Natchez at noon: There is little
new to report with reference to levees
this morning, but the constantly ris-
ing river is rendering the situation
more acute which acuteness will con-
tinue to increase until the crest of the
food wave. The rise here for the pc
riod from24 last p. m. to 8 this morn

might be disastrous to the embank-
