Columbia Record, 9th.


The first news of the long ex-

in the Vandercock case was re-

noon by the Record in n telegram
from Senator b r Tillman, say

The dispatch vas Immediately
telephoned down to the state dis

it was received with great reioic-

Senat tor Tillman's telegram
reads as follows:

Which means that the q = peo-

They are not in it any more
and hereafter will be t. Gated as

The decree is gratifying to the
adm inistration and all are proud
of Attorney General Barber for
his splendid victory.
1t is much more swecpingIy
favorable than was hoped for, it
being thonght that it would he
considered by the court that
packages might be sold provided
they contained not less than gal
Ion and were not broken after
receipt in the state-w which would
have been rather doubtful VIC

This makes Senator Tnlman' $
bill on the subject now pending in
the house unnecessary.
"Well, that's the best news
I've heard in n very long while, "
said Governor Ellerbe when he
was reading the message over the
phone at the mansion. "You
have given me the first news;
received no message in reference

asked if the result was more than
he expected. 81 had looked for

New York. May FIR. G. Dun G.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says.
Growing accustomed to war possibli-
ties, which are mostly far from proba-
bilities Of evil, and finding the nation
moving along steadily in its industries,
people are grasping the idea that 1t
Is throwing away some months of ac-
tive and profitable life to wait until
war clouds have passed. Western pros
perity has so greatly overbalanced
timidity of eastern capital that actual
business done Increases; railroad earn
ings promise Better for May than a
month ago for April and payments
through clearing houses for She week
in May show a gain of $3.50 per cent
over last year and rs per cent over
1899, while a month ago the increase
over last year was 1876, and compared
with 1892 there was decrease of 10
per cent. Several large contracts kept
back for some weeks because of hos
tilities have now been placed, and in
stead of works closing or reducing
force, returns show the starting of
some works long idle and increase of
force or of hours at others. Govern
ment work occupies many establish
ments, but it counts for little COM
pared with other demands.
The key of the situation is the pros
perity of the west, which altogether
unprecedented marketing of breadstuffs
has caused, with the prospect Of good
crops to come. These prospects, and
actual receipts of wheat amounting to
5,S76,71 bushels for the week, against
2,439, 1863 last year, with advances also
in other grain and cattle, have pro-
duced a demand for manufactured
goods which was not anticipated from
eastern indications.

To Rest in Mcstm fhster Abbey.

London, May 21.-It is now virtually
decided that Mr.. Gladstone's remains
shall be inferred in Westminster Alb
bey. The family do not oppose the
nations desire, and the only direction
Mr.. Gladstone left was that he should
be buried at Hawarden unless there
should be an unmistakable national
wish for an interment at Westminster
Mrs. Gladstones only objection is the
natural wish to be buried in the same
grave devoted to her husband and 1t
is rumored that arrangements are in
contemplation whereby this feeling
need not prove an insuperable obstacle
to a burial in the Abbey.

Syracuse n. Y, May 21.-The fight
here last night between Kid Mccoy and
Gus Rubin, the latter of Cleveland, re-
suited in a victory for Mccoy after 20
rounds. There was little betting on the
result, and the showing made by Ruh-
lin was a surprise. He stood a lot of
punishment, and was always ready to
come back for more. He was ap-
parently strong at the finish. Mccoy
says that he will now meet Goddard
and then Choynski. There was a great
difference in the weight Of the men,
Mccoy, according to his statement,
weighing 157 pounds and Rubin, ac-
cording to Billy Madden, his manager,
tipping the scale at $50 pounds.

Rival Claims In Africa.

There are four different grounds on
which European nations base their
claims to territory in Africa. One is
actual occupation; another is treaty
with native chief, conceding terri
tory; third is the claim that the occu-
patton Of the mouth of n river gives n
right to the country which it waters; n
fourth is the cumberland" theory, by
which is meant that nation which oc-
cupies strip of territory on the. coast
has a right to the country lying behind
it. OF these grounds Of claim, the first
is least likely TO be contested; but as
to the Others, the same chief may give
concessions to two or three rival ma
tons; OF the territory which is claimed
by one because it is watered by a river
the mouth of which il controls may be
claimed by another because it is in the
"hinterland" of territory which it pos
sesses on the coast.-Youth's Compan-
