are bothering both the president and
the war department. 1t has not yet
been decided, it was stated, to put the
troops to De sent to Cuba in southern
camps. From the fact that some of
the troops now at Montauk have been
ordered to Huntsville and Admission, it
has been taken for granted that the
regulars were to be sent from those
two places. The officer already men
toned told a reporter of The Sun
Yesterday afternoon that the president
is not much in favor of putting any
great number of troops in camp as far
south as Huntsville or Admission. He
is more inclined to have some such
place as Camp Meade, if the troops
are to be put in camp at all. The
president is, however, inclined to agree
with General Miles that the places for
all the regulars now at Camp Wikoff
are the sections whence they came
when ordered to Tampa at the begin
ming of the war. At these stations,
with barracks to sleep in, good water
to drink and more of the appointments
of home life for the men, the president
believes the regulars would rapidly
regain health and get into shape for
further service in Cuba. The pres
ident would not send troops which are
likely to be needed in Cuba to stations
west of the Mississippi.
The president has found that Gener-
al Miles's plan is not favored by the
war department, as represented by the
acknowledgement. Just why does not
appear at present. Some have sug-
gested that the Acknowledgement does
not favor the plan because General
Miles has proposed it. While the au-
thorities at Washington are trying to
determine where the Montauk troops
shall be sent, the quartermaster'gener'
al can do nothing in the way OF in.
viting bids for a general transfer OF
troops to any one place. This will be
done, it was stated yesterday, as soon
as the place of rendezvous have been
decided upon.

that it was the head of his missing
daughter.
One of them, the father Of missing
Marion Grace Perkins, not only recog-
nized a photograph of the dead girls
head but described a minute mark that
would be found over the right eye if
the corpse was really that of his daugh-
ter. Nobody had observed any such
mark, but upon examination it was
found precisely where he had said.
The body was delivered to Mr.. Per-
kins, who started home with it. for
burial.
Then Marion Grace Perkins arrived
at home alive and well, passing on the
way from the station the open grave
that had been prepared to receive her
and meeting at her fathers door the
undertaker's wagon.
The missing daughter of the other
identifer has also turned up in full
vigor of life.
The annals of the law are full of
strange cases of mistaken identity.
But We cannot recall one which so
strongly illustrates as this one does the
difficulty Of personal Identification and
the danger of trusting to it where
crime is concerned and human life i'm
perilled. 1t would be easy to hang an
innocent person upon testimony great
ly weaker than that which proved so
mistaken in this case.

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.
Those Who Do Not Need Them Reduce
the Pittiance of Those Who DO.

Those Who Do Not Need Them Reduce
the Pittiance of Those Who DO.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The board of pension commissioners
of Louisiana created by an act of the
last legislature, organized at Baton
Rouge on September 6. The creation
of this board to look after this mat
ter of pensions is new idea, and it is
hoped that it will work we'll in the
south, where the pension issue is be-
coming as serious as it is to the United
States.
AS is we'll known, the southern
states, in awarding pensions, have
been compelled by the exigencies Of
the situation to vote lump sum each
year, which sum is divided pro rata
among the pensioners. Having nc
commission or other body to deter
mine who are veterans in the eye oi
the law and who should receive pen
sions, this matter has been left to the
camps of the United Confederate
Veterans.
The soldiers of the late war ere
getting older and feebler, and the
number of these needing assistance
has naturally increased, and as it in
creases the pro rata divided among the
soldiers gets smaller. This has been
going on for several years, until now
state pension in most of the south
ern states is too small to be of any
practical value to the recipient.
The state of Mississippi, for instance,
gives $4,000 year to its Confederate
veterans. There were nearly 4,3OO OF
them enrolled last year, yielding about
s17 year to each man. The evil has
been getting worse for some years,
that is, the number of pensioners has
been growing greater. So unpromis'
ing is the future of the pensioners that
determined effort has been made in
Mississippi this year to cut down the
number of veterans receiving aid to
those who actually need the money
with the result that there will be ma
terial decrease compared with 1897
estimated ut 80 per cent.

TROOPS GOING BACK To CUBA.

The Army OF Occupation, 10000 to 10000
Strong, to Start About October 10.
New York Sun, Sunday.
Unless the present plan is suddenly
changed, the American army of occu-
patton will sail for Cuba about October
Is. This statement is made upon the
authority of an army officer usually
well informed of the plans of the war
department. According to this officer,
the army will include two corps snd
possibly three, or from 10000 to 10000
officers and men. The troops will
land, for the most part, at Havana and
from there be distributed through the
island.
According to this officer the Seventh
corps, now stationed at Jacksonville
under Major General Fitzhugh Lee,
will form a part of the force to be sent
to Cuba, to be followed, possibly, by
the Second corps, now at Camp Meade
under command of Major General
William NJ. Graham, "Light Battery
Billy" as he is known in the army.
These corps are largely made up of
volunteers, and according to the pres
ent plan, it was said, it is not the in
tention to send volunteers to Cuba who
do not wish to 60. BY the time the
movement is ordered, there will be
plenty of regulars in condition to take
the places of any volunteer organiza-
ton which does not care to spend the
winter or longer in Cuba.

of the army of occupation, it was said,

Common Sense Talk That Applies to the
Same Conditions Everywhere.
Rock Hill Herald.
The true secret of Rock Hills sue
cess has been the unanimity of the
people on all matters that would as
sist in building up the town, and the
disposition of each citizen to lend his
help and influence in making every
enterprise and every worthy business
scheme a success. The advancement
of the town has been rapid, and this
was so because our people were inter-
ested, and every man felt that he was
called upon to put his own shoulder to
the wheel beside that of his neighbor,
Latterly there have been mutterings
because there should ever be an ebb in
the great tide of prosperity, and there
have been contentious that ought not
to have existed and should not be-
harbored. Matters cannot at all times
be in such shape as to satisfy us all
and unless we turn deaf ear to the
fault finders, we may look for even
worse things. A community divided
against itself is sure to come to want.
If our dear little city ever goes
backward it alone will be due to the
jealousy and envy and chickering's o.
internal forces, and not that Rock Hill
merchants and Rock Hill interests
cannot hold Gheir own. What We
need is to get together again, and pull
together for the good of all. Give
our merchants and business interests
the solid and united support of our
own citizens, and we can meet and
best the competition of outside mar
kets.
Let Rock Hillians set to work to cry
down enterprise and to cut local inter-
ests' throats and our business supre-
macy is PROSTATE. Many dollar
that goes outside of Rock Hill could
as we'll be spent here. Every dollar
that is spent in Rock Hill in legitimate
business enterprise helps the butcher,
the baker and the candlestick maker" "
1t helps rent, it helps circulation, it
increases the volume of business. We
hope that the spirit of Rock Hill for
Rock Hillians and all for Rock Hill
still lives.
Every patriotic citizen and every
merchant should help to keep it alive.
Treat all interests fairly, and let's
push the old town on to year Of un'
precedented prosperous business.

Tried to Wreck the Train.
An Augusta special of Tuesday to
The News and Courier: An attempt
was made to wreck the incoming pas
senger train on the Southern railway
one mile west of Augusta, this after
noon. Some one cut big pine, which
fell across the track. The train was &
few minutes ahead of time and was
running slowly toward the city wher
the engineer rounding the curve saw
the obstruction and stopped within 6
few feet of the tree. Otherwise il
would have been a fatal wreck, as
there is a high embankment at this
point. There is no clue, but it is be-
lieved that Negroes did the work or
account of being made to ride in Jim
Crow cars.

tenfold force to the convention system

openly attempts to overthrow the
primary will rue his temerity, for he
will find himself in opposition to the

the people to get the primary and it
will take much harder fighting to

TROUBLE IN CHINA.
Emperor Resigns From the Throne and
Adviser Flees.

Emperor Resigns From the Throne and
Adviser Flees.
The Associated Press dispatches
published yesterday morning give in.
formation of a sensational shake-up in
the government of China.
Some days ago, at the demand OF
Great Britain, the emperor dismissed
Ii Hung Chang from power, on
account of the policy of that official
in making too close an alliance with
Russia. This is thought to be either
the cause or the elimination of the
present trouble.
The resignation of the emperor is
announced in an imperial edict, which
goes on to say that the dowager en-
press has assumed power.
In view of the recent developments,
it is believed that Ii Hung Chang is
at the bottom of the shakeup, and
that this official will soon be restored
to his former position. At any rate
there is reason to believe that some
important developments are imminent.
The resignation of the emperor virtu-
ally undoes all that has recently been
gained by Great Britain and restores
the influence of Russia. The unset
tied quarrel between these two coun-
tries will, therefore, be resumed.
The same dispatch that brings the
information outlined, says that there
is a rumor in Pekin to the effect that
the emperor is dead. The runor has
not been confirmed; but it is a fact
that Hang Yumoi, the emperor's chief
adviser, has fed from the city and that
he is thought to be on his way to
Shanghi.
