FIRST REGIMENT COLORS.
The following is from the Columbis

Inc following ls from tne ColumDla
State of last Sunday
Yesterday, in behalf of the First regi-
ment, Colonel Tillman forwarded the
stand of state colors to Mrs. Aston, wife
of the late commander of the regiment,
for her 10 keep in memory of the days
when, as ministering angel, she visited
the sick soldiers in camp, of the days
when she, with her pleasant smile, added
something of the refinement of home to
the rough life of camp. Following is the
letter presenting the flag:
MY DEAR MRS. ALsToN-The regi-
mental flag sent by you to Lieutenant
Colonel Stokes, to be presented by him
to the regiment in your name, has been
turned over to me, as commander OF the
regiment.
Feeling that you are the proper person
to retain the flag, I beg to state that the
same has this day been expressed to you.
I think the unanimous sentiment of the
regiment is voiced in this letter.
l have the honor to be, with high es-
teenl, Very respectfully yours,
JAS. II. TILLMAN,
Colonel Commanding First Regiment,
South Carolina Volunteers.

Free Ferries Wanted.

Free Ferries Wanted.
Petitions are in circulation in Fort
Mill township for the establishment of
free ferries across the river at McCul-
lough's mill; one in direct line be-
tween Fort Mill and Rock Hill, and
the other at Neely's ferry; on direct
line between Fort Mill and Yorkyille.
The first petition was gotten up for
the McCullough's mill location. To q
large extent the same people have
signed both petitions, and the under
standing is that the county board will
be asked to establish both ferries. If,
however, the board should be willing
to establish only one, it will be asked
to select the site that will be of the
greatest benefit to the most people.

MYSTERIOUS" SMITH
 OUTPOINTS WALC0TT
Given the Decision at the End O.
 Twenty Hard-Fought
Rounds.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-"Mysterious Bn. ly" Smith met Joe Walcott, the coloreo fighter, at the Lenox Athletic Club to- night, and after twenty hard rounds Ref cree Charley White decided on him as the winner. The men weighed 145 pounds. Smith outfought Walcott, and in the elev- enth round be knocked Waleott off his feet with right swing on the jaw. few moments later both men went to the floor from clinch and Walcott stayed down on one knee eight seconds It looked then as though Walcott would go out with anoth- CT good blow, but by repeated clinehing he lasted the round out. as Smith was un- able to get to the mark.
 Walcott was rather slow in his move ments and got in so close to Smith that the latter was unable to do much damage at close quarters. Walcott was favorfte in the betting. His friends bet 100 to 80 on the coored man, on the ground that Smiths recent fight with Tommy West at Bridgeport, Conn.,. was not up to winning form, and they argued that the last time Smith and Walcott met, also in Bridge port, the negro had the upper hand. Smith won cleyerly tonight, and when the referees decision was announced there was very little adverse criticism.
 Before the big fight Kid Broad of Cieve- land knocked out Mike Kearnes of Phila- delphia in the seventh round.

MASKED MEN
 LOOT A P0ST0FFIcE

FRESNO, Dec. 6.-At about 6 o'clock this evening two masked men entered the postoffice at Clifton. twenty miles south of Fresno, on the Valley Road, and held up A. T. Wilkinson, the post master.
 After searching him for weapons and money one of the robbers watched over the postmaster, pistol in hand. while the other footed the mail and the till of the store. The robbers then took their departure. commanding Wilkinson not to budge from the store for ten minutes, threatening to do him up if he disobeyed.
 Deputy United States Marshal Boust of this city was notified of the robbery and has organized a posse to pursue the miscreants.
 No additional information concerning the hold-up at Clifton postoff1ce Is ob- tainable here at late hour tonight.
 The amount the robbers got away with is not known, but it must have been small.
 No description of the men was given by Wilkinson.

INDEPENDENCE
 DAY TAMELY
 CELEBRATED HaWaiians No Longer Interested.
BY HORACE WRIGHT.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, Nov. 29.-Yesterday was Hawaiian Independence day, the anniversary of the signing of the joint declaration of Great Britain and France on November 2S, 1S43, recogniz- ing the independence of Hawaii as sovereign state and agreeing never to take possession, either directly or under the title of a protectorate or under any other form of any part of the territory of which it was composed. It was the final act by which the Hawaiian king dom was admitted within the pale of civilized nations. Hitherto it has been a great day of rejoicing with the Ha- waiians, but this year 1t was only the formal fact of a national holiday by an act of the Legislature of 1896, and while all Government offices were closed and the Government band played there was no observance on the part of the peo- pie except by a few moonlight sere- naders in search of reward. The Amer ican Thanksgiving. day has replaced the day and the absurdity of an an-

ings banks in Hawaii to the persons entitled thereto, terminating the in- terest on all deposits on the 1st of July, 1899, and forbidding further deposits after that date. The report contains an inventory of the public property of the republic, which now inures to the United States, which is of an estimated value of $10,41S.740. distributed as fol- lows: Government public lands, $4,- 147,700; Government lots, sites, etc. s1.- 4S1.S00; department property, $4,789, ,240
 The report gives considerable data in regard to duties collected, showing that under the Dingley bill the amount would have been much greater than 1t was. This comparison shows that the collection for 1897, which was $548, ,4S3, would have been under the American law 1902, ,706. The report recommends the construction of a cable to the isl- ands, to be under the control of the United States, which, it says, is de- manded by the military condition ex- isting or liable to exist at any time.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 7-Chairman
Hancock of the Republican State Central
Committee predicts that eleven Republican
Congressional candidates in Iowa will sure
ly be elected. He bases his assertion upon
what he terms conservative advces received
by Him from the close districts In the
Sixth Congressman Lacey, according to his
figures, will defeat j. b. Weaver by more
than 700.
Particularly close estimates have been sent
from Congressman Hepburn's district, the
Eighth. Chairman Hancock, as a result
says that on the closest count the defeat OF
George L. Finn is assured by at least $50
while his belief is that Mr.. Hepburn will
receive in the neigh ghborhood of 1900 plurality
In the Second district Chairman Hancock
says it is only a question of the plurality
of John r. Lane, the Republican nominee
He forecasts Mr.. Lanes election by at least
2500 plurality.
Secretary Huffman, who has managed the
fusion campaign, said tonight that the Re
publican state majority will be only 10000
instead of $4,000, the Republican figures,
and that Wills would be elected railway
commissioner. He claims Weaver, fusion,
will win over Lacey, Republican, in the
Sixth, by 1000; that Finn, fusion, will de-
feat Hepburn, Republican, in the Eighth,
by 500, These are close districts. He
claims the Second and Ninth districts by
small majorities and then goes so far as to
claim the Tenth, where Dolliver, Republic
an, had ll,000 last time, and the Third,
where Henderson, Republican, had 5000
Republican Chairman Hancock is tonight
confident OF complete congressional vic
torq and absolutely sure, if the weather is
such as TO get out the vote. He says Huff
mans claims are ridiculous.

6dent of success. Snow furries tonight,

feet their maiorities 1t is not now be-
leyed that over $4,000 votes will be cast.
Bad weather affects the vote on the Mis-
souri, slope, as polling places are far apart
and the country sparsely settled. The
slope is Republican stronghold and con
trolls the majority to some extent. The
fusion committee feels jubilant over the
prospects of bad weather and their recent
bad reports The Republicans claim ma
iority of at least fourteen and possibly
twenty-one on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture. The Democrats concede Republican
majority but claim it will be much closer.

at least eight out Of the ten congressman and
a large majority of the legislative candi-

The Democrats are not giving out any

known in Minnesota. The Democrats con-
cede that the legislature will elect Senator
Davis successor, the senate also participating
in the election years hence of a successor to
Senator Nelson will be Republican. i. A.
Rosing, Democratic chairman, claims that
John Lind, the fusion candidate, will be
elected governor by from $1,000 to 10000. He
also claims three, and possibly four, of the
seven congressman, and all three supreme
court judges. On the other hand, Repub-
lican Chairman Steel claims everything, but
gives no figures, while Republican leaders
believe Eustis will be elected governor by
10000 to $1,000 majority.

RENO, New, Nov. THE fight for SUI

parties may poll 1900 or 1000 votes each. At
this writing, it looks as if Mcmillan would
beat Sadler for Governor anywhere between
300 and 500. Newlands for Congress has a
walkover. The Stewart Legislative ticket IS
being bitterly opposed in several counties
but as the opposition is not well organized,
and the Stewart forces are well in hand, the
chances are that he will run in, but on very
thin margin

the alternative odd years Governor and
full State ticket with all members of the

in the alternative even years come with
Presidential elections. The ''otf year con-
ditions exist only once in four years. Under
these conditions the Democrats claim gains,
and the Republicans are making especial
efforts to have the Presidents State show
Endorsement by returning as many Con

SALT LAKE, Nov. To-day closes one

Utah. Tonight both parties hold meetings
in every county in the state.
At Democratic headquarters the claim is
made that they will carry the state ticket,
elect all of ten senators and three-quarters
of the members of the lower house. The
Republican committee claims they will elect
the state ticket by 5000 majority, elect six
of the ten senators and twenty-nine out Of
forty-fve members of the lower house. The
consensus OF opinion here is that Roberts,
Democrat, will be elected to congress.

Republican managers profess to be conf
dent of electing their entire state ticket,

fnd few takers in the poolrooms. The fu-

is the Scandinavian vote, which is being

does, they declare that nothing can beat the
