THE SCATTERED NATION.
The Jews Are Disseminated Against
All Over the World.

The Dreyfus case has served to call
attention to the status OF the Jews IN
the various countries Of the world.
Anti-Semitic feeling in France is
stronger than it has been for many
years past, but there are many other
lands in which the Jews are subject to
severe determinations and raoid preju-
dices. In fact the United States and
England are about the only counties
in which the Jews may be SAD to enjoy
an absolutely open field and fair chance.
Both here and in England Jews have
filed many positions Of high distinction
and prejudice against them exists IN
far lighter degree than it does else
where.
The Jew has shown wonderful abil-
ity to take care Of himself even under
the most adverse conditions. His bust
ness success is undoubtedly one Of the
main reasons of the determinations
against him and the attempts to beat
him down.
But he has prospered even under per.
secution and will continue to do SO.
There is no prospect that the Zionist
movement, the plan Of collecting all the
Jews in Palestine and the restoration
to them Of distinct national power, will
ever amount to much.
They are scattered over the face OF
the earth, and scattered they will re-
main until the end of time.
The Jews are so prominent in affairs,
especially in commerce, for which they
have shown a genius unsurpassed Dy
any other people that ever existed, that
most persons believe they are more
numerous than they really are.
According to the best information
there are not more than 6, 200, 900 Jews
in all the world-not great many
more than the population of the state
of New York. Of the total Jewish
population 100000 are in Europe,
chiefly in Russia. There are 100000
in Asia, 100000 IN Africa, 300, 900 in
America and 10000 in Australia. In
European Russia there are $500, 900.
The next greatest numbers are in Aus
tro. o.HunAary, the figures being put at
!, 100000, leaving 1000, 900 to be d.
vided among the other European coun,
tries.
There are 10000 Jews in the Brit
ish islands and not more than 200, O,OO0
in France. In the whole Of Palestine
there are about 40, 900 and in Jerusalem
10000. ooo
The fact that there are only 100000
Jews in America will surprise the aver
age reader. These 300, 900 Jews seem
to be so many more than they are be-
cause they make themselves felt in
every community where they live, be,
cause they are active, enterprlslng and
thoroughly live factors in our complex
ciyilizatson.

pie easily become a power even among

of strange experience he had while
driving along the road. He said Ne
gro, armed with two pistols and
rife, stopped him and began to talk
about the robberies that had been re-
Gently perpetrated. Williams said the
Negro asked him if the white folks were
making any efforts to catch the robbers,
etc. It's thought that the unknown
Negro was Wild Bill himself, endeav-
oring to find out if the climate OF St.
Andrews was getting too hot for him;
Trial Justice Rivers is in charge OF
this side of St Andrews district, and on
him and his constables it deVolyes to

The thing has been going on for some
time now, and the people affected are
beginning to wonder where the trouble
will end. 1t is believed by some white
men that if the gang is ever rounce up

Charleston will be found.-News and

q Deadly W Weapon.

The Mauscr pistol is new arm that
has lust been put to practi al test for

we're used to test the effects of the bull

has an effectual range of 500 yards, and
is said to be the most deadly weapon OF

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
The Leaders of the Grand Old Party
Cant Agree.

Senators Hoar, Wellington and Ma
son, all Republicans, are openly op-
posed to the Haona-Mckinley expan-
sion business. And now comes Sera-
tor Foraker and announces against i'm
perialism He has written letter to
Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, Of Connectl-
cut and the minister makes it a basis
for a sermon. We are Informed that
this letter contains confidential lntl-
nation that he will head the anti-im-
pe1ialist wing Of the senate ia the next
congress and being intended for publ
cation is semi-otiicial announcement
Of the senator's position on this main
issue of the next national campaign:
With the opening Of the session he will
find the first gun. The letter closes
with hearty note Of commendation for
the work which has been done ia the
cause Of anti-imperillism by the Econo-
mic Club, and declares in underscored
type that the senator is With the
cause.
A srecial point IS made ia Senator
Forakers letter Of 'he appeal which
Isabel Artacho, former partner OF
Aguinaldo, has addressed to the Ameri-
can Republic, Artacho, who is spoken
of as a man CT wealth and influence,
has Just tak.,n an cath Of allegiance to
the J9ited States government. He
prcsc>, 5 tha he has always been q loyal
cit:zen. He rails at what he character
rs as the mean aud spurious afecta-
ton of the leaders Of the present re.
beliiou. He declares that the United
States alone can restore peace and proS-
perity to the Islands.
"'Behold, what an honorable ally
the president has taken to himself,
argues the senator. Isabel Artacho,
the neanest mau the islands have ever
produced. as little as Arnold without
Arnold's fire. Since the American oc-
cupation Of the city he has passed in
and out as freely as before. Doubtless,
he had his useful sides. But that he
should be brought forward as a.clincher,
that his simple statement should be
thought sufficient to blacken the charac-
ter Of the man, who, whatever may be
said of him, is still making pretty
stiff fight forh country-this is laugh
able. There we're to be had at any time
during our own war for Independence
so Tories who would swear before the
British parliament that Washington
was mere self elected usurper, lead
ing handful Of atrociously merciless
banditti. Artacho's evidence is worse
than useless.
This government welcoming trail
tor was more than Foraker could stand.
In old days, the senator was very fierce
against southern ''Rebils. He is now
on the warpath against his own party.

Great Demand for Yarns.

A Boston dispatch to the New York
Commercial asserts that cotton yarn
manufacturers are having in their way
the same kind Of boom as the pro
ducers of pig iron" That is, they are
getting more orders than they can pos
sibly FL, even by working overtime,
and in many instances double time.
They are overwhelmed with contracts,
the dispatch goes on, and are quoting
prices which equal those at which simi-
lar goods can be imported, aud are re-
fusing orders in many instances. One
manager of many years experience says
he never saw the mills pushed as they
arr at present. Nevertheless the price
of raw cotton remains very, very low,
because spinners do not have to pay an
advanced price to get what they want,
being able TO get 1t at their own price.

Will Not CO.

Indignation over the outcome OF the
Dreyfus trial has caused a party Of over
700 Chicagoans who were going 70 the
fair in body to abandon their trip.
Louis Halle, who is the treasurer OF the
party, and who, since the scheme was
inaugurated, year ago, has been re-
ceiving weekly remittances from those
who proposed going, Tuesday issued
notices to the members to call at MS
office and get their money. Immediate.

Mr.. Halle commenced receiving letters
from members of the party saying that
under no circumstances would they visit
France. So anyof these letters were

SWEPT BY a CYCLONE.
Much Damage Done to Private and
Public Property.

A cyclone swept oyer Bermuda is
land Wednesday night. Houses were
blown down and others were unroofed.
The storm ragged the whole night. No
lives were lest but heavy damage was
done to public and private property,
fruit and cedar trees. The causeway
was badly injured and the go7ernnant
house was damaged. The storm was
the worst known there siace the hurri
cane of 1880. In fact many Of the in.
habitants say it exceeded the gale of
1880 in violence. Information from
the dock yard says the damage done
there is very serious. The brea kwater
is badly damaged. On Ireland and
Boaz islands everything is mole or less
injured. The damage is roughly esti,
mated at e100, 900 At Somerset all
the boats and small crafts were destroy
ed, the trees demolished and houses un-
Stated, or otherwise damaged. At
Prospect Camp the damage is estimated
at G3, 1000. More than half mile OF
the causeway connecting the mainland
with St. Georges is totally destroyed.
1t will cost $4,000 to sl5, 900 to re-
pair it. News from St. Georges receiv-
ed by whale boat says serious damage
has been done there to trees, houses,
etc. All the boats have been destroy
ed or are badly injured. Reports from
outlying parishes are slowly coming in.
They all show there has been great de-
struction of trees and serious injury to
houses and other property. But, SO TAR
as can be learned here, there has been
no loss of life. 1t is curious colncl-
dence that the great gale Of 1889 occur
red September II and y and this was
on September II and l3. No correct
estimate of the amount OF damage to
private property can at present be OBJ
tained, but it will be fully e1OO, 600.

DON CAMERON'S ANGER.
It Caused Him to Pay $3.50 for Whip
ming a Jewish Merchant.

While Attorney General Belllnger
was in B eaufort this week he made an
argument IN case Of unusual interest.
Some time ago Don Cameron severely
horse-whipped a Jewish merchant
named David Schein, whom he charged
with selling liquor to Negroes upon
his preserves near Beaufort. Scheln
brought suit against his prominent
chastiser for $4,000 damages. The
jury after hearing the case in detail
rendered verdict for $3.50 IN Scheln S
favor. The jury was composed entirely
of white men. Mr.. Thomas Talbird and
Attorney General Bellinger represented
Schein and the latter drew vivid
word picture Of the introduction OF
French methods la Dreyfus in South
Carolina. Messrs. Elliott & Elliott rep
resented the distinguished defendant.
The story of the affair was to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Cameron while driving
along the she'll road headed for the de-
pot came across a crowd of Negroes
who seemed to be drunk and they yell
ed at him. He then came across Ne
gro who had rented some OF MS prop
erty to Schein; he gave the Negro a
whipping and then drove up to Schelns
place. He got Schein in fence cor
ner, driving his buggy and horse So
that pen was made. Then he charged
Schein with selling the Negroes liquor,
and proceeded to whip him with his
buggy whip. Schein was finally forced
to tear away some palings before he
could escape the lashes Of his assaiI-
ants whip. This is the story as heard.
Schein brought suit as stated above
and got $3.50 damages. At the time OF
the whipping it is said Mr.: Cameron
told Schein to leave the neighborhood
and he did as ered.-The State.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A White Man Of Augusta Held Up
and Robbed.
BRICKS THROWN AT POLICE.
Lost His T Pocket Book and All
the Money He Had Together
With His vaiise.

A bold highway robbery was COM
mitted on last Thursday near Augusta,
Ga. The Chronicle Of Friday says:
Mr.. ". II. Foster, white man llV-
ing at 1886 Ellis street, was held up
and robbed on the highway Thursday
afternoon by negro. Mr. Foster had
been over in Carolina, about FIVE miles
beyond the line to visit his father and
was returning to Augusta. He stopped
in house near the South Carolina rail-,
road track to get drink Of Wa.er and
while there asked what the time OF day
was
When he started out negro man
who was there said he guessed 1t was
time for him to be going, and started
on ahead. A short distance down the
track from the house the negro had
stopped and waited until Foster caught
up with him, when he asked Foster if
he had anything to drink. Foster told
him he had not, and the man said he
ought to have. He then pulled out
pistol and, putting it right up to Eos
ter's face-close enough to touch-ssk-
ed him if he had a pistol, to which Fos-
ter replied in the negative. Foster
was then made to open valise (which
he Lad with him. The negro then told
him to pass over his money, which Mr.
Foster did. After this the negro made
him pull off his coat, saying he had
good mind to take that, too, and pawn
it. He shook it to see if there was any
money in it and then handed it back,
but kept the pocket book, which con-
tained $40 and the valise.
Mr.. Foster then took back course
for three miles until he reached the
Horse creek road and came by that way
to Augusta, going he says five miles or
more out of his way to keep from pass
ing the negro again. Mr.. Foster was
very much frightened when ne reached
the city, but went at oRce to police
headquarters and reported the matter.
He described the man as being large
black negro, 35 or 40 years old, and
wearing blue overalls. he said he
thought the negro weighed about l4O or
$50 pounds.
Whether he was in this crowd or not
is not known, but just before the time
for the relief to go out last night Officer
Danish went over to the city bridge to
see if everything was all right there
and found several negroes shooting
craps. When they saw the officer they
opened broadside on him on him with
a shower of brickbats that came down
around him like the falling Of hail The
officer brought his pistol into view and
the negroes, after hearing the tone OF
its voice twice, scattered in the direc-
tion of Hamburg at lively pace.
