cises of the white division of the York
Vile graded school has been agreed upon
i'm outline

as to whether the respective clubs had a
right to select delegates as they saw fit, or
were bound to select them in regular
election. The chair gave it as his opinion
that the matter was entirely within the
discretion of each club; but Secretary
Davis held that not only did tie constitu-
ton of the of party require regular elec-
tions. but this was the only way in which
the matter could be satisfactorily arrived
at. Other methods would be all right in
the absence of contests; but in the event
of contests, the convention would have to
hold as properly accredited delegates only
such as had been duly elected by ballot.
The discussion on this point proceeded
at some length and was brought to close
by the prevalence of motion offered by
Mr.. D. G. Stanton to the effect that dele
gates be elected by ballot between the
hours of 2 and on Saturday preceding
the first Monday in May as already pro-
vided.
Upon motion of DR.. j. H. Saye, the
date of the county convention provided
for was fixed on the first Monday in May
at IL a. M, and the place in the court
house at Yorkville.
Secretary Davis raised the point that
the call for club reorganization and the
county convention, ETC., had to be adver-
tised, and asked as to what shall be done
about the matter. This business was left
entirely within the discretion of the chair
man and secretary to act as they saw
proper.
There being no further business, the
committee adjourned sine die.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

One of the York township commls
sioners, on Monday, gave the reporter
some details of an interesting road
working case that is just now absorbing
the attention of those belonging to Mr.. j.
NJ. Brice's section of the Pinckney road.
The question is as to whether magis-
trate should be required to perform duty
on the public roads. According to the
reporters informant, Magistrate Sandifer
was, some weeks ago, warned to come
out and perform road duty. He failed
to answer the summons, and Overseer
Brice Instituted proceedings. The infor-
nation was that the case would be heard
before Magistrate Plaxico, of Hoodtown,
today.
The reporter approached Magistrate
Sandifer OH Monday and asked him for
his side of the case. Mr.. Sandifer said
the matter had been going on for quite a
while, and intimated that the case was
not altogether on its merits-that there is
some feeling behind it all. The question
was first raised sometime ago. He had
otlicial duties to perform and did not
work the road. He was reported to the
county board; but that body excused
him. Shortly before the last court, Mr..
Brice notified him one day that they were
going to work the road next day. "All
right" told Mr.. Brice, "if any of them
fail to do their duty, let me know and 1
will set on them ~ But this Mr.. Sandi-
fer did not consider formal warning,
for the reason that time and place were
not stated. However, he was not dis
posed to hide behind technicalties. The
question with him was how could he be
expected to attend to the duties of his of
flee and work the road at the same time.
Asked as to whether there was to be a
trial before Magistrate Plaxico on We'd
nesday, Mr.. Sandifer said there would not
be, as he had an official appointment for
that day. In answer to another question,
he said that he had not been served with
a warrant in the case at all; but had in
formed Magistrate Plaxico that he would
as might be made.
On the other side of the matter, it is
claimed that no county official or magis-
trate, otherwise liable on account of being
ablebodied and within the age limits, is
exempt from road duty. The overseer
claims that official duties are not good
against the statute-that the official must
either pay communication tax, appear by
substitute, or postpone other duties.
What will develop out of the case re-
mains to be seen. An attorney expresses
the opinion that the Bullock's Creek
township magistrate has not, and cannot
get, jurisdiction. Further, that no pro-
ceedings can be instituted anyway with
out a warrant. But as already stated,
Magistrate Sandifer is willing to waive
these formalities. From several stand
points the case is decidedly interesting.

TITS AGOOD THING.

The Simkins-Fabe company COM
menced its three nights engagement in
Yorkville on Monday night, with the five
act comedy drama, Little Mischief" and
the audience was delighted.
Tuesday night the programme was to
be 'Teddy's Luck" another delightful
comedy-drama in three acts, and tonight
"wednesday the programme calls for
"N1onte Cristo," always full of thrilling
interest, especially when properly pre-
sented, as Judging from its performance
of Monday night, this company is able to
do.
THE ENQUIRER was not directly repre-
sented at the performance Of Monday
night. 1t happened to be case of busi-
ness before pleasure; but there was quite
large committee of amusement lovers
out, and the general verdict is that not
withstanding the low price of admission,
10, 20 and 80 cents, the company generally
is one of the best that has yet appeared in
the opera house.
The fact is, this appears to be popular
show at popular prices, and if the indica-
tions of Monday night counted for any
thing at all, it must have been for crowd
ed houses on Tuesday and Wednesday.

IN JAIL AGAIN.

Jim Garrison, colored, well-known
local character, with reputation as
sneak thief and all around bad Negro, is
in Jail again.
Garrison figured before the last term of
the court of general sessions on the
charges of attempted housebreaking, and
also violation Of the dispensary law.
Upon a proposition from the solicitor, he
agreed that if the violation of the dispen-
sary law charge should be mol pressed, he
would leave the state and remain away as
soon as dismissed from custody on ac-
count of the other charge.
The attempt at housebreaking charge
was not pushed with much vigor. In the
first place, there was not a great deal OF
evidence. From the standpoint Of those
familiar with all the circumstances, there
was little reason to doubt the guilt Of the
prisoner; but with an excuse that was
plausible as to appearance but very i'm
probable indeed as to the actual facts, he
was acquitted.
But Garrison did not leave. At first he
was very Indifferent, in fact forgetful,
dDOuI Ills dBISciilCht, uho to"n hi'iSSAA
into the presence of the sheriff with his
usual familiarity. Sheriff Logan told
him that another "a hours in town and he
would be behind the bars again. Then
he promised to 60.
On Monday, Sheriff Logan learned that
the Negro was still here, and taking Off
GERS Love and Dobson along, went after
him. He was at his home on East Madi-
son street, and when found was hiding
behind chimney; but resisted arrest,
and until overpowered, refused to start
for the Jail. AS an excuse for not having
left, he said that he "didn't have his
clothes ready"
The case Of Garrison is a peculiar one.
He will be held now on the charge OF
violating the dispensary law, and perhaps
convicted and sentenced but after serv-
ing short sentence, will, no doubt, con
tinue to be a menace to the community
for sometime to come, for compared with
his generally dangerous character, his
blind tiger business is but trivial matter.

sharp personalities might be INDUCED

IN.
Senator Hale calmly appealed to the
vice president to permit him TO CON-
plete his statement in order. The SEN
ator from Maine endeavored to con-
vince those Republicans who had de-
serted the administration that the
Democrats had been on the side OF
Cuban independence at the instance
of William Jennings Bryan, the de.
feated Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, at dinner given in this city a
few nights ago.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, resent
ed the charge of Senator Hale, and
Senator German also deprecated the
attempt to drag politics into the con-
sideration of such a serious question.
He declared that the country was now
in war, and there is no Disgusting The
fact. He deprecated the attacks made
upon the president of the United
States, and added: "That when the
time Of final vote comes every loyal
Democrat, not as Democrat, but as a
patriotic American citizen, will be
found sustaining the president against
the foreign enemy.
Senator Allison and Senator Aldrich
also took hand in the debate against
the recognition of Cuban indepen,
dence, and Senator Aldrich predicted
that a resolution will be brought for
ward within the next 4S hours which
will command support of both branch
rs of congress and the president of the
United States, but it will not provide
for the recognition of the Cuban re-
public.
Several other senators desired to
speak on the same line, but they were
cut off by cries of "Vote, vote, vote. y
The final vote on the adoption Of
the senate resolution as amended was
then taken, and the result was 81
yeas to 81 nays.
Senator Davis Immediately proposed
that conference between the Two
houses be authorized. There was 8
chorus of objections on both sides o.
the chamber, so the senate adjourned
without ordering the conference.
The friends of the resolution state
that they expect that when the reso
luton passed by the senate is reported
to the house the latter body will prob
ably accept the senate resolutions In
lieu of those passed by the house
Under the circumstances they claim
that conference may not he necessary
The large vote by which the resolu
tions passed the senate may influence
the house, but the senators who op
posed the recognition of the indepen
dence of the Cuban republic are con
fident that the house will insist or
having a conference. In that event
deadlock between the two houses
which Senator Hale predicted, may
ensue. R. NJ. L.

A Spanish mob made riotous de-
monstration against the American consul
late at Malaga last Saturday, and in COM
menting upon it, the Madrid newspaper,
the "Jmparcial." wisely observes: "Riot-
ing is no proof of courage. The Greeks
made demonstrations many days in
Athens but this did not prevent them
from quickly forsaking the heights OF
Thessaly. The Spaniards should enter
the conflict like gentlemen and not like
ruflians." Even some Americans might
take lesson from this. The loudest
takers usually make the swiftest run
ners. 1t is quiet, self contained people
who do the sureenough fighting when
once it commences.

SENATOR'S PASS THE LIE.
A Disgraceful Scene In the Upper House
Also.

"A
Also.
An unusually sensational scene oc'
Cured in the senate last Friday night,
shortly after 9 o'clock. During a per-
sonal squabble, Senator Wellington, OF
Maryland, charged Senator Money, OF
Mississippi, with speaking in the sen,
ate as the agent of the New York
Journal.
Mr.. Money was on his feet. He was
standing in the rear of the Democratic
benches, about so feet away from Mr..
Wellington, who, with flushed face, oc-
cupied conspicuous position imme-
diately to the left of the vice presi'
dents chair.
"Mr. President, I want to correct
the senator from Maryland" he OBJ
served. "The remark that he just
oade is absolutely untrue"
II want to say TO the senator from
Mississippi that The Journal had said
that it's commissioners had returned"
replied Mr.. Wellington.
~ do not care what The journal
said, >" retorted Mr.. Money.
Mr.. Wellington-If there is any
untruth in the statement it was made
by the newspaper.
81 am correcting you, not The Jour-
nal" retorted Mr.. Money.
II say the remark you make is not
true"
"I make the remark as The Journal
gave it," again retorted Mr.. Yelling
ton, doggedly.
"Then make it on your own respon-
sibility," cried Mr.. Money, his whole
frame quivering with suppressed emo
ton, his arm outstretched defiantly
toward the senator from Maryland.
II do make it on my responsibility"
replied Mr.. Wellington, like flash.
"Then you lie !" came from the Mis-
sissippi senator so quickly that it
sounded like an echo or crack of a
pistol after the flash of the explosion.
The senate was electrified. Senators
looked at each other in blank amaze
ment, and the galleries rose en- masse
and leaned over as the two senators
faced each other.
"I call the gentleman to order. II
the gentleman can indulge in that kind
of conversation on the floor of the
senate" said Mr.. Wellington, as he
resumed walking toward his antago-
mist, ~ can, stand it as we'll as he
can"
By this time all was confusion.
The vice president was rapping for
order and senators had risen to their
feet. But the two senators still called
to each other in defiant tones, that
rang out above the din.
"Come outside and make it !" cried
Mr.. Money.
every we'll, them" retorted Mr..
Wellington.
"Come now," said Mr.. Money, beck
oning.
"The senate will be in order" called
out Vice President Hobart.
Mr.. Wilson (Wn.) broke the tension
at this point by stepping forward into
the centre aisle, and asking, in bland
voice, whether "a declaration of war
would be in order" The senators and
the galleries laughed heartily at this
sally, and meantime friends of the
bellicose senator's surrounded them and
led them away into the cloak rooms.
Subsequently Mr.. Money apOlogized
to the senate for using unparliament-
ary language.

"Is it true that Assistant Secretary of

the reporter.

answered the general, showing the pa

"That does not answer the ques-
lion," ventured the scribe.
"Well, Mr.. Roosevelt has spoken to
me about staff appointment" said
General Lee.
"Will you appoint him ?" was asked.

remain where he was. 1t developed
shortly afterward that the Hampstead
had been purchased by the United
States government, and that for coal
the Spanish government would have
to make other arrangements. There
was much feeling against the contrac-
tors for selling coal to the Spanish
government under the circumstances ;
but until war is declared, of course,
there is no legal way to prevent except
by purchase.
