LOCAL OPTION OR DISPENSARY?
Question Soon to Confront south Caro-
lima Legislature.

Columbia S. c., Dec. 17.-There will
be one overshadowing issue before the
approaching session Of the legislature
the solution of the liquor problem.
The dispensary scheme Of Senator
Tillman seems doomed. T.
Local option appears to be in sight.
After the next general election it is
likely that each county will have its
own system, a county dispensary con-
trolled wholly by the county, or pro-
hibit.on or license. In the latter case,
under the constitution liquor cannot
be sold in less quantitieT than half
pint. The big headquarters in Column
bia, with It's liquor commission and
board Of control, is more than likely
to be abolished. The dispensary pur-
chased few months ago for its head
quarters the historic building used for
a time as the confederate mint.

IRISH STUDENTS RIOTOUS.
Noisy Demonstration When Chamber
lain Is Given Degree.

Dublin, Dec. 19.-At Trinity college
Monday the honorary degree of doctor
of laws was conferred on Joseph
Chamberlain, British secretary of state
for the colonies. There was brilliant
.assemblage at the ceremony. The I'M
dergraduates gathered on the college
grounds and sang patriotic songs. Then
they sailed to the college green, cheer
ing vociferously and carrying the royal
standard and union jack. The students
made a demonstration at the Mansion
House, where they tore the green cor
poration flag to shreds and caused
other damage, the police being forced
to intervene. Mr.. Chamberlain, his
wife and Lady Betty Balfour, when
driving to the college, were cheered at
some points, but there was noticeable
difference of opinion in the crowds
lining the streets. At the close of the
ceremony, Chamberlain, in response to
cries of the students, said they had
met under very disappointing circum-
stances If arrangements had been
recent, he added, he would not have
chosen the present occasion to receive
the honor from the university. Their
minds, Chamberlain continued, were
solemnized by serious news from south
Africa, but England had always been
accustomed to hold her own in ADVERSE
ty. He exhorted the students to practice
the virtues of liberation and patience.

TO CALL YE0MANRY
BRITAIN TO RECRUIT FORCE
FROM THIS ORGANIZATION.
ENROLLED STRENGTH 5000
These Forces Originated During Period
of French Revolution But Have
Never Been Called Upon for Service
Before-English Press FESTIVE Over
Portugal's Laxness at Delagoa Bay.

London, Dec. 20.-The government
has at last consented to mobilize the
force which General Butler is credited
with having demanded all along as es-
sential to success in south Africa,
naemly 10000 mounted infantry. Tues
day morning the war office issued an
order to the effect that the govern
ment has decided to raise for south
Africa mounted infantry force to be
called the imperial yeomanry," to be
recruited from the yeomanry volun-
teers and civilians possessing the re-
quisite qualifications. The same Or
der invites every volunteer regiment
linked with regular battalion serving
at the front to supply the full company
which will take the place of the
mounted infantry. These arrange
ments are expected to result in a con-
siderable force. The enrolled strength
of the yeomanry forces, which originat-
ed in troublous period of the French
revolution, is now 10, ABB. Their services
have never before been called for in
war. The lord mayor of London, AL
fred Newton, is raising and equipping
force of good volunteers among the
city corps, the large city firm contrib
uting the necessary expenses. Spe-
cial reports regarding the fighting at
Tugela river are still filtering through,
but all newspapers complain that these
are severely censored. 1t is still i'm
possible get an accurate idea of the
battle. From latest accounts, how
ever, it appears Gen. Butler, was in
personal command. Much anxiety is
caused by the fact that the war office
has not yet received the full list of
casualties at Tugela river. The Stand
ard hints editorially that if Portugal
continues to allow supplies of war ma
terial and foreign volunteers to reach
the Transvaal through Delagoa bay
England will have something to say in
the matter
An Artillery Duel
Chieveley, Camp, Natal, Dec pa
relief column from Chieveley Tuesday
assailed the boer positions northwest
of Colenso. During the two preceding
days the beers had allowed themselves
to be bombarded without replying.
| Tuesday they suddenly belched out a
stream of fire from all their entrench-
ments besides opening fearful can
nonade with all their quick-firers and
field siege guns. The British naval
brigade commenced Smelling all the
ridges with marvellous accuracy. The
Irish infantry brigade marched out
under cover of the fire in extended or
der to cross the river and attack. The
beers sent several shells near the am
bulance train, which was forced to
! change it's position and sent in a scat
tering fire almost demolishing all the
guns and stampeding the gun car
riages and timber horses.

Manila, Dec. 2f.-Maj. General Law
tons body was brought from San Ma
teo to Manila Wednesday afternoon,
his staff and squadron of cavalry act
ing as escort. The funeral will take
place from his late residence here. ths
mansion formerly occupied by the
Spanish general. The body will be
placed temporarily in the vault ut lei
Pace cemetery, where many American
soldiers are inferred and a guard of
honor will be maintained. When Mrs.
Lawton and her four children shall
have completed their arrangements for
returning to the United States the re-
mains will be taken on transport
with an escort of officers, for final in
terment, probably in Arlington GEM
etery. Lawton's death has caused uni
versal sorrow in Manila. No Amerl-
can officer had greater popularity in all
ranks In his dealings with the ma
tives he commanded their respect and
confidence to remarkable degree
The mayors whom he installed In
neighboring towns are arranging to at
tend the funeral in body. TO his ex-
ecutive ability and personal leadership
are chiefly due the brilliant
execution of the plan of campaign
in north Luzon which scattered
the insurrectionary forces from
1an lsidro to the gulf Of Lingayen.
That section of the island which had
to be observed during the worst sea-
son OF the year, presented difficulties
considered almost insurmountable, but
Lawton thoroughly covered the pro-
gram assigned him. When he reached
fayug and found the other division
rad not arrived, he went through to
D1gupan on his own responsibility.
Although he imposed great hardships
n his men, he invariably shared their
'Jt cheerfully. Thirteen Americans,
including three officers, were wounded
at San Mateo. It Is estimated the in
Irgents numbered 500 and half OF
hem were armed with rifles. The
Americans numbered 300 but the COM
mand vas much depleted by sickness
The wagon train found the roads i'm
pas3able and was Obliged to return.

DENOUNCE M'KINLEY AND GAGE.
National Civil Service League Passes
Resolutions.

Indianapolis, Dec. 15.-At the open
meeting held yesterday afternoon the
national civil service league openly
attacked the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley in regard to the order of
May 18th removing many Offices from
the civil service list. A resolution
was adopted censuring the secretary OF
the treasury for refusing access tt
public records relating to matters OF
public concern" and demanding that
this unworthy policy of concealment
and secrecy be abandoned" The Sec
rotary then gave review of the
conversation between President
Mckinley and the committee
from the league sent to him concern
ing the order of May Goth. The secre-
tary said it was the understanding Of
the league with President Mckinley
that in case it became necessary for
him to issue this order he would add
at least as many offices to the CLASH
efid service as he would be compelled
to remove. up to the present time
no new additions have been made
which is matter of great surprise to
the league" reported the secretary.
Letters from Denver and San Francis
co were read stating that progress
there along civil service lines was very
satisfactory. The evening session
was taken up entirely with the annual
address of president Carl Schurz.
Following the address reception was
rendered the delegates at the Univer-
sity club.

Everything depends on what the Amer
