ADMIRAL sOHLEY's REPORT.
<From Our Regular Correspondent

[From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL. '9s.
President Mckinley is still receiving
c ongrstulations by mail from every
section OF the country on the indorss-
raeut given him and his administration
one of the most remarkable indocse-
xnents ever given to any President in
the middle of his Enthusiastically
the oters of the country. The big head
is an sffiicsion unknown to him. but
tte President is naturally proud of the
confidence in him. which the re cleo
kion of republican majority of the
House and the election of state legisla
lures, which insure q big republican
IN ajoTity in the Senate, expressed. and
ANXIOUS that his future policy in con-
nection with oae newly acquired terri
tory and mis- recommends atoms to Con-
gress, shall be of such q nature as to
merit continuance of that confidence
AZ a conscientious desire to do the
right thing for the country Will enable
him to do it. he will succeed.
THEIR OLD OCCUPATION.
Having failed in the election, the
democrats have returned to their old
occupation of trying to create dissen-
zion among the victorious republicans
They are circulating stories Co the ef
feet that friends of the President are
crying to prevent Speaker Reed beins
reelected Speaker of the next House
There is not a word of truth in the
stories, and il is as certain as anything
IN the future can be that M Reed

less ne deelin to be.
sPANIARDs MUST HURRx.
AZ the last meeting of ths Cabinet
che American Peace Commissioners
at Paris. were instructed to notify thu
Spanish Commissioners that this gov
eminent would call time on them i
they did not hurry up and get down t,
business on our demand fer the Philip
yiEes, d demand that is unalterable ant
which must be either accepted or re
fused, regardless OF what airy othe
government may do or threatened Il
do. In other words, Spain must un
ierstand that European interference

sional elections, will have MS CesS
wi she's in his campaign for election TO
the Senate. This is not because OF any |
objection TO either OF the other able
republicans who are candidates for the
Senate. but because President Mckin-
lev thinks that Me. Babcock's WORK for
the party has given him claim upon
the highest honors at the disposal OF
the republicans OF Wisconsin.
STATUTE TO BE MODIFIED.
A6jutant General Corbin, in his an
nual report, refers 90 existing law
which prevents the enlistment in the
army OF persons not citizens OF the U
g., aud says: The new conditions,
however, make q modification OF this
statute desirable, to the end that the
enlistment of from enc company to
battalion OF natives for each regimsnt
serving in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines may BE- authorized. The
advantage of this is too obvious for dis
eussion."
DRORRAsR IN IMMIGRATION.
| According to the annual report of
| Com missioner-Genersl T.. V. Powder
ly, Just made public, the total number
of immigrants to the United States dur
ing the last fiscal year were 22e 2eS, be-
ing ]. 583 fewer thai came during the
previous year. During the year $3.50,
who were undesirable, from one cause
or another, principally psupsrism were
debnrred. Mr.. Powderly recommends
that the head-tax be increased from 81
to 50, to provide fund to "eulsrge the
, bureaus operations to its full capacity
for usefulness 10 protecting American
citizens from disease, taxpayers from
the imposition OF unjust burdens, and

THE ELECTION.

The election for the issuing of
bonds for the erection of an cleo
trio light plant under city owner
ship passed off in perfect quiet,
and, as was shown by the small
vote cast, was not entered into
with the general interest which
was expected. Psrtisans Of both
sides were exceedingly active, and
vigorous work WAS done by those
directly interested, but, as shown
by the result, the community at
large is hardly prepared for 50
important q change at present.
There are too many other pressing
considerations, too many impor-
tant public reforms and improve
ments to be considered, and pub
Tic attention is too much engrossed
by the many serious questions
now occupying it. A two thirds
vote of the registered strength was
required to carry the election.
Hardly half the registered vote
was cast, and of this 208 ballots
we're cast for the bond issue, and
So against it. The project was
therefore defeated; but the num-

Daring Robbery.

The tailoring establishment OF
j. ii. Friedrichsen, on Washing
ton Avenue, was the scene of an
unusually bold and successful rob
berry on Tuesday night, the thieves
escaping with clothiug to the
amount of about $3.50. The build
ing was entered from the back
door, from which panel was
skillfully cut out, and the robbers
made their escape with their booty
by way Of the alley at the back Of
the premises. A suit Of the stolen
clothing was afterwards sold by a
negro to laborer at the Planters
Oil Mill, and from this and other
clues now in the hands of the police
it is believed that the thieves will
be caught and the stolen property
recovered.
The city has been remarkably
free from sneak sthieves during
the winter, the Friedrichsen rob
berry being the first of any i'm
portance since the long series OF
audacious operations which culmi-
mated in the Poyens and Damazona
murders.

THE CONVENTION.

In spite of the yeryunfavorable
weather the Woman's Suffrage
Convention, held on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights at Skinner 5
Hall was well attended, and was Il
great gratihcation to the friends
of the movement, The meetings
we re presided over by Mrs, Nellie
n. Somerville, the State President
of the association, and the adj
dresses delivered by Mrs. Merri-
wether, of Tennessee, and Miss
Belle Kcarney, of Mississippi,
were listened to with great inter
est and enjoyment by the audien-
ces assembled. Mrs, Merriwcther
was the speaker on Tuesday even
ing, her subject being "The New
Man, a topic which was handled
with originality and ingenuity.
The speaker was introduced to her
audience by Rev. Quincy Ewing,
of St, James Episcopal church,
in a short and most appropriate
and admirable address. On We'd
nesday evening the speaker was
Miss Kearney, the well known
Mississippi lecturer, was introduce
ed by L. Pink Smith, Esq, and
who chose for tho motto
of her able discourse the text
"Come let Us reason together"
1t is needless to say that in
the hands of Miss Kearney the
subject of woman's suffrage was
ably and Interestingly treated.
The absence of Mrs. Gait, whose
attendance was confidently ex-
pected until Just before the meet
ing, was much regretted, but the
brought together a
number of the best thinkers,
writer's and speakers, among the
women of this and adjacent states,
and the citizens united in showing
their appreciation of the honor
conferred by the presence Of their
distinguished guests.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS@ e

A prettier display of artistic
millinery has seldom or never
been seen in GreenviIle than
that which ornamented the
show windows and reception room
of Mrs. Ike Sack on Wednesday
and Thursday. The window was
arranged in a close imitation, on
a smaller scale, of Barr's celebrat-
ed display windows in St. Louis,
the choice collection of hats,
feathers and flowers being taste
fully disposed in the midst of
potted plants, palms, and lace cur
talns, while the sale room was a
bower of lights, handsome flower
ing,plants, and natural roses which
were hardly distinguishable from
their counterparts in silk and vel
vet. The assortment of hats and
bonnets, Mrs. Sack claims, is
equal in style, material, and ele-
gance, to any ever brought to
Greenville, including many of the
latest and most beautiful ideas in
the millinery art. The business
has been steadily improved by
Mrs. Sack from small begin
nings until tho establishment now
ranks with the finest in the city.
Miss Harrison, an experienced
lady from St. Louis, has
charge of the department, and
a visit to the establishment
will prove q source of pleasure
and profit, as well as a surprise.

General Catchings for Congress.

1t is with qualification that the
TINES announces to its readers
that General I. G. Catchings has
consented to be again a candidate
| for denomination to Congress.
1t is with the most cordial and
unqualified endorsement that the
TINES publishes the announcement
Of General Catchings.
1t is superfuous to recount the
many reasons for which he should
be returned to a place which he
has filled with such distinction,
such honor to himself, and such
advantage to the district which he
represents. The name of Catch
ings, and the fame of his now
nearly accomplished life work, is
familiar throughout the length
and breadth of the Union. His
mission in Congress has not been
merely to represent district, but
absolutely to redeem and preserve
it. v hen he entered Congress
the "Levee District was entirely
unknown. Its needs and posi-
bilities Of development we're no
more considered in the delibera-
tons of the nation than the deserts
of Arizona or the frozen wastes
of Alaska By the exercise of the
rarest tact and goc4 sense, united
TO unremitting Id most en-
gazing personally, he has made
it one of the leading questions un.
der Congressional and national
consideration, and has been so far
successful that the fulfIlment OF
his ambitions and hopes for the
district to the interests Of which
his life has been devoted is now
practically assured. That he will
be returned to to the position
without opposition is not to be ex-
pected. He has held it long, and
invested 1t with a dignity and
honor which must naturally make
it coveted prize. In his readl-
ness to retain it until the work SC
brilliantly conceived and ably con
Quoted is complete, he is doubtless
actuated no less by unwilling.
ness to trust so all-important a
task to unskillful hands than by q
natural desire to carry it to its
triumphant fulfllment. In an
nouncing his candidacy for reap
pointment the TINES feels conf
dent that the people of the district
are possessed of too high an ap-
probation of his past services, and
too lively sense of his present
and future usefulness to be in
different to their own deep inter
est in his reelection.

show the popularity of the move
ment. Had it not been Tor the
strenuous efforts of the opponents
of the scheme to impress upon the
public the uncertainty of results,
and the great risk taken, and also
the uneasiness prevailing in view
of the dangers now menacing us,
it might have been that the re
suit of the election would have
been different. The prospect of
municipal ownership was an allur-
ing one, and appealed strongly to
civic pride, as well as to a desire
for more perfect light system,
An electric light plant, however
conscientiously conducted, is sub
iect to many influences and con
ditions which the general public
do not understand The election
and discussion of the subject has
at least had the effect of informing
the people thoroughly on many
topics connected with the lighting
system, and has also made plain
the feelings and sentiments of the
public and then grounds for COM

result will be better mutual m
derstanding and a more perfect
and satisfactory system of lights
