Damage by Chinch Bug and Cutworms-
Everybody Busy-The Enquirer Wei
come Visitor.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, May 17.-Chinch bugs and
dry weather have been the topic Of
conversation for sometime past; but
delightful rain fell during Wednes'
day and Thursday morning, and now
we have something else to occupy our
thoughts. Since the rain everybody
has been hard at work and it will not
take them long to catch up with their
blowing.
Nearly every family in this neigh
borhood is subscriber to THE EN-
QUIRER, which is most welcome
visitor to our homes on Wednesdays
and Saturdays.
But very little small grain was sown
in this community on account of the
chinch bugs.
l understand that cutworms are
doing considerable damage to corn
where it is up.
The general health of the commu'
nifty is good. S. j.

President Mckinley has sent to con-
gress a message in which he recites the
destitute condition of American citizens
in Cuba, and recommends an appropria-
ton of not less than $50, 900 for their relief.
Immediately upon receipt of the mes
sage, on Monday, the senate adopted a
resolution to carry out its provisions; but
in the house there was hitch. The
Democrats sought to couple with the reso-
luton recognition of Cuban belligeren-
cy, and upon the refusal of the Republi-
cans to give unanimous consent, the
matter went over until Thursday.

A Slip Of the Pen.
In referring to the proposed Cataw-

An Illinois judge has rendered a
decision in which he declares the
American Tobacco company to be an
illegal corporation and prohibits it or
its agents from carrying on business
within the confines of the state. The
tobacco company maintains that the
state of Illinois is powerless to eX-
clude the goods of corporation or in
dividual from another state, and will
take the case to the United States
court. In many respects the position
of the tobacco company is the same as
the yandercock people, who claim the
right to sell liquor in South Carolina
in competition with the state dispensa-
ry. The alleged trust features OF the
tobacco company, however, are almost
the same as those claimed against the
dispensary, and taken altogether, the
two cases present many points of great
interest.

We wonder if, after all, much of the
depression in the cotton mill business in
this state is not due to some of the bright
legislation that has gone into effect dur
ing the past few years. Suppose the
same restrictions, for instance, were
thrown around farm labor, what would
become of such profits as now remain in
apriculture?

- At the convention of cotton yarn man.
ufacturers, held in Charlotte last Satur-
day, about forty yarn mills were repre-
sented, and quite number of other cot
ton manufacturers were present. Among
other things an agreement was signed by
which it is proposed to curtail the produc-
ton Of all yarns, below twenties, at least
25 per cent. from and after June Is. Ac-
ton was taken looking to the elimina-
ton Of many extra charges which it has
become the custom of commission houses
to make or allow to purchasers of yarns,
and a special committee was appointed TO
look after labor legislation. A permanent
organization was effected with j. I. An
thony, of Charlotte, as president, and the
convention adjourned subject to call.

LEARNING THE WHEEL.

The army of local wheelmen con.
tinues to grow apace, and seems to
break out in new and unexpected
places every day. The acquisitions OF
the past week are four representative
business men-Messrs. T. M. Dobson,
G. H. O'Leary, J. H. Riddle and M.
F. Jones-and the reporter has already
seen too much to believe that the end
is yet.
Mr.. Dobson has been on the training
list for sometime past. He went at
the work with great caution, and be-
fore many of his friends knew what
he was up to, he rolled through the
streets on his wheel.
Mr.. Jones began operations little
differently. He was not inclined to
fight it out on line that might take
all summer. Instead, the second after
noon he went to the battle with the
assertion that he would come back on
his wheel or on a litter. 1t was a
pretty close shave at tines; but ne
came back on the wheel.
Mr.. O'Leary, like Mr.. Dobson, also
worked the quiet game, and claims
"to have gotten there the first time"
He made his first public appearance
on the wheel last Monday afternoon,
and had the machine under fairly good
control.
Mr.. Riddle has been "projecting''
with the bicycle for sometime; but
has all along affected not to think
nearly so much of the machine as he
did a good horse, for instance. But
at last he has been seen riding wheel
on the streets, and if he has not al
ready ordered one of the best bicycles
to be had on the market, the proba-
bility is that such an event is only a
question of few more days.

The California senator is at present
deeply interested in both Of these
propositions. It is understood that
Senators White and Teller had a con-

ways and means 10 bring up the Cuban
resolution. They are about convinced
of the hoDeiessness of il, however, for
obstructionists in the senate viii not

the opinion OF Senators White and Tel

ton comes from friends of the incom

said that in his opinion President Nc
Kinley would adopt the policy regard
ing Cuba now pursued by the Cleve-
land administration. Senator White
believes this to be true, and he has
talked 10 members of congress and
others who have recently come from
Canton. 1t is said, upon excellent au-
thority. that Major Mckinley does not
desire the passage of the Cuban resoIu-

He is Booked For a Speech in the
Senate Today.
Washington, Jan. 1O-In the senate
tomorrow MI. Mills of Texas is booked
for a speech on Cuba. His text Will be
the resolution he introduced q few days
ago, recognizing the independence OF
the republic of Cuba, declaring it to
be the duty of the executive 10 act in
harmony with congress in recognizing
a new state. and apprOpriating sum
sufficient to pay a diplomatic repre-
sentative to the republic when the
president shall have appointed one. The
extreme position taken by Mr. Mills
leads to the belief that his speech may
be, to some extent, sensational, and
that his criticism of the attitude of
Mr. Olney may be severe.
Senators are awaiting the return to
the city of MIR. Cameron, who is in
charge of the Cuban question. There
does not appear to be any desire just
now to push the recognition resolutions
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont has given
rotice that tomorrow he will address
the senate on his resolution for con-
stitutional amendment making the
presidential office six-year term and
the occupant ineligible for two terms
in succession; also making the terms
of mem bers of congress three instead
of two years.
Early in the week an attempt will
be made to secure a vote on the Okla
homa free homestead bill, and when
that is out of the way the senate's Pa
cific railroad refunding bill may be
taken up, unless the house shows such
hostility to Pacific railroad legislation
as to make the attempt hopeless.

allow Mrs. Wilson to go with her to
the city to witness her marriage to
Hal E. Mcneil. She explained this
proposition by saying that she had Sc
cured a divorce from Truesdell. Old
Mrs. Wilson told Dr. Holden that If
her foster daughter, Eta, was to be
married again she felt that she ought
to attend the ceremony, and the con-
sent was granted. This was Dec. is.
Fearing foul play, DR.. Holden re-
ported the case to the police, and after
two weeks search the three people
were found at 26 Aberdeen street on
Dec. IS. Here Mcneil and the Trues-
dell woman were living as Mr.. and
Mrs. +. NJ. Truesdell, and Mrs. Will
son was kept a virtual prisoner. The
three were living in a single room with
only a double bed. for ten days. For
two or three nights old Mrs. Wilson
had been obliged to sleep sitting in an
arm chair with no extra covering to
protect her from the night air. Room
ers had heard her crying and begging
piteously to be sent home.
Mrs. Truesdell induced Mrs. Wilson
to remain one day longer and when
Dr. Holden called for her the next day
the room was vacant. The police have
renewed their efforts.

even of probability, justifies this ro-

Pekin, Count CasSini, who is credited
with achieving tremendous diplomatic
triumph by first securing the Russian
sphere of influence in the north has,
according to ST. Petersburg advices,
obtained nothing beyond a diminution
of frontier dues by one-third-a con-
cession in connection with the eastern
Chinese railway. 1t is questionable
whether this privilege can be worked
without it's being granted to all coun-
tries having commercial treaties with
China containing the most favored ma

NOT A FILIBU STER.

Of Mercy.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 10.-The Off
Of the steamer Dauntless, regarding
the last trip of the vessel, was COM
pleted yesterday, and forwarded by
The collector of customs to the secre-
tary OF the treasury.
In this report, Captain Myers gives
a detailed account of the trip He
tells all about finding the men left on
No Name Key by the steamer Three
Friends. and of taking the men off the
key and transferring them TO another
steamer. As the report shows that the
Dauntless was on an errand of mercy
rather than a filibustering expedition,
it is very probable that the vessel viii
not be libeled for any violation of the
neutrality or navigation laws.
W. a. Bisbee, the owner of the YES
sci, is anxious to secure clearance for
the vessel at NeuvitaS, Cuba, as he has
a contract to deliver a cargo of arms
and ammunition at that port. Nothing
further has been heard of the orders
for the United States dispatch boat
Dolphin to accompany the Dauntless
whenever that vessel may be granted
clearance and leaves this port.
The revenue cutter Boutwell, went
