THE PEACE CONGRESS.
Result of n Conference with Emperor
William Is Awaited with
Much Interest.

London, June 19.--The correspond
ent of the Daily News at The Hague
says: ''Dr. Zorn, whom Emperor Will
liam summoned on Friday by special
messenger, arrived in Berlin Saturday
morning, accompanied by Mr.. Hollis, of
the United States delegation. They had
only time for breakfast. and at ten were
driven to the empcrial palace. where
instant admission was granted them by
the kaiser himself, who was waiting for
them. They had "a further audience of
his majesty Sunday. They were APP
pointed joint messengers of the confer
ehce because they had become intimate
friends since they met here. DR.. Zorn
speaks very little English, but Mr.. Hollis
speaks German perfectly. If Emperor
William refuses any sort of tribunal,
the conference will probably go on
without him, but his openly hostile at
titudc would arouse protests in Ger
many. and Mr.. Hollis has probably taken
the liberty of pointing out the deplor-
able effect this would have in the ci,rl-
lied world. The emperor is amenable
TO the religious argument, and perhaps
this will be the lever that will move him.
At any rate, if the worst comes to the
worst, the conference will invite him IN
sign the convention, with a reservation
about the tribunal, pledging himself
only to use the peace conference pro-
ceedure in an eventual arbitration.

MOB STONES THE POLICE.
Strikers at Cleveland, o., Engage In
Desperate Riot-AHot Hat
tie with Omcers.

Cleveland, O., June 10.-At 1890
o'clock Saturday the most disastrous
riot of the local railway strike took
place at Pearl street and Clarke avenue.
Two cars loaded with nonunion men,
patrolmen and deputies were attacked
by n mob of 5000. AS result OF
charge made by the police under Capt.
Hutchinson and Lieut.. Felhaber many
persons were severely and some possi-
bly, fatally injured. The first car to
reach the scene of the trouble was met
by the mob and shower of bricks and
eggs. About so feet behind the first car
was q second car loaded with non
union men. deputies and police. This
car also was compelled to come to
stop. Before the police could step from
the cars a fusillade of stones and bricks
crashed through the windows, striking
several of the nonunion men.
Within five minutes after the cars had
arrived nearly every patrolman and
nonunion man had been the mark for
one or more eggs, and every window
in both cars was quickly smashed.
Several vicious attacks were made by
the mob, and in order to protect the
lives of the nonunion men the police
were compelled to charge. Capt.
Hutchinson gave the word, and the po-
lice dashed through the crowd swing
ing their clubs. Dozens of people were
injured by being struck by stones and
clubs. The mob could not withstand
the terrific onslaught of the police, and
all sought safety in fight. A scene of
wild confusion followed. The fight
between the police and the mob con-
tinued for nearly IS minutes, but the
former finally gained the victory. The
mob was partially dispersed, and the
cars were run back to the Lakeview
barns. AS the cars passed through the
public square they attracted consider
able attention, it being easy to de-
termine from their appearance that
there had been another serious riot
No further attempt was made to oper-
ate cars on the IIolmden avenue and
South side line.
In the midst of the riot baby car
riage containing little child was over
turned. The baby rolled around under
NllC lttN VI lIlt lllOb ui' NAS DdtllN
trampled on before finally rescued. Not
less than 80 persons were cmbbed by
the police, but only one man. so far as
known. is fatally injured. He is Ed
ward Miller. His skull was fractured.
There were no new developments in
the strike of the street railway men
Sunday, principally for the reason
that the company made no attempt to
operate cars except on the Euclid av-
enue line. The police still afforded
ample protection, and the cars were run
on schedule time from seven o'clock in
the morning until six o'clock in the
evening. The strike was the subject of
many yof the sermons delivered by Cleve-
land ministers Sunday, and some of the
clergymen took the ground that the
strikers had made extreme demands of
the cOmDauN.

TO FIGHT TRUSTS.
The Farmers VIII Combine To Defeat
Corporations Acting Against
Public Interest.

New Carlisle, Ind, June 10.-Aaron
Jones, OF this county, master of the ma
tional grange, says in an interview that
the proposed trust of the farmers of the
United States will be consummated and
will make itself felt in due time and
such trusts as are against public in
terests will have arrayed against them
n force that is pretty certain to ac-
complish its purpose. The methods of
warfare will prove effective, Mr.. Jones
says. a force of 100000 organized
farmers can make it exceedingly un-
comfortable for trusts formed to prac>
tice extortion.

Tax exemptions.

The State Supreme Court has
just issued what is evidently the
final order in the now celebrated
case of Garretson against the
Laurens Cotton Mills.
The city council of Laurens
passed resolution that it would
exempt for term of years any
cotton mil. or similar enterprise
built in the limits, in order to
encourage such enterprises. The
Laurens Cotton NJ. was built and
expect -pected exemption
under this resolution of council
and council did not tax the mill.
Mr. Garretson, a Citizen Of
Laurens, brought al action claim.
ing that the council OF Laurens
could not, under the Constitution
exemptthe Laurens Cotton Mills
and the Supreme Court has con.
Cured in this view and insists that
the mills will have to pay the
taxes.
In the opinion of the Court, filed
to-day, after giving the case and
the findings of the referee. who

desire to have the Coult reopen-tfe
discussion as to the duty of the 'cid-
zens of Laurens not to insist upon
the payment of any taxes by said
respondent TO- said city, on TIP,
ground of good faith, alleging that
the mill was built in the city on ,
reliance upon Che good faith Of
the citizens to carry out the
resolution adopted by the city
council to exempt any mill which
would locate in the city from the
payment of all city taxes.
This Court is greatly pleased at
observing the keen sense of moral
obligations thus exhibited, but we
must be governed by the legal
obligations subsisting between
these parties litigant. Asw VIC have
already decided, following in The
wake of the decision of the action
of Germania Savings Bank vs town
of Darlington, 81 S. E. Rep, S46,
there is no law authorizing an ex-
emption of cotton mills from
taxation by simple resolution OF
the city council of a town. /
In the assessemento of these taxes
we must be governed by the assess
ment of values made for State and
county taxation. Those taxes
which we have allowed for the
years 1896 and 1898 can be easily
placed upon the books of the city:
clerk and treasurer, and when, 80
placed the assessments Of taxes by
said clerk and treasurer can be and
must be had. The peremptory
writ of mandamus is granted to
compel the city council -ef
Laurens to assess the taxes
against it's co-responondent-
Laurens Cotton mills-for the
years 1895 and 1898, as hereinbefore
named, and then to compel
Lauronst Cotton Mills to pay such
taxes for the years 1895 and 1898.

70 do this would result benefcially
to all, regardless of the tax We
would have to pay. Real estate
would appreciate in value, the
merchants sales would increase,
the doctors practice would im-
prove, ,and likewise tie lawyers, and
there would be more work for the
mechanic and the laborer. The
school is necessity, and the
bonds must be voted. To do or
act otherwise would be suicidal
policy on our part. Ard as Prof.
Bailey is willing and expects to
pay two-thirds of the tax levy by
way of rental for the buildings, the
taxpayers would not have to pay
more than half a mill, or SOC on
tn, $1,000 to raise the other one
third of the tax. And one-half of
the taxpayers of the town do not
own one thousand dollars worth Of
property, and therefore one-half
the taxpayers Of the town will not
have to pay so cents a year to se-
cure the to-be grand Co-Educa-
tional College, and participate in
the future progress and prosperity
of our dear old town, resultant
from our splendid educational IA
cilities. Reader, ponder the SUBJ
iect we'll before you conclude to
vote against the bond issue.
