The old fight against state aid for
higher education is on in the South
Carolina legislature. Opponents OF
such aid made an effort in the house to
reduce from $a7, 500 to $40, 600 the rec
ommended appropriation for the South
Carolina college, but only succeeded in
cutting the amount down to $25, 600.
The appropriation has varied between
that amount and $4,000 for the last
nine years.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed to the gen.
eral use which is now made of wire
rope for rigging purposes, as we'll as to
the fact that the hulls of ships are us
ually constructed of iron or steel.
Thus the whole ship forms an excel
lent and continuous conductor, by
means of which the electricity is led
away into the ocean before it has time
to do any serious damage.

Killed. Wounded
Otis Acts with PrOpriety.


Washington, Feb. 2S.-The officials
at the war department were asked Mon
day why Gen. Otis had refused to rec
ognize the commissioners who had
come to Manila from the insurgent
headquarters at Malolos when they
came to seek peace. The reply was
that Gen. Otis was acting with the
greatest propriety in this matter. He
was careful not to commit his gov
ernment to any recognition of Agui-
naldo that would make a precedent, and
then there was always the best rea-
son for withholding confidence in
every act of the insurgents where the
placing of trust would imperil Amer
ican lives and interests The Filipino
insurgents will have no difficulty in Sc
curing amnesty, it is said, if they lay
down their arms and submit uncon-
ditionally, for there is no purpose on
the part of the American commanders
to wreak vengeance upon submissive
fee.
Rebels Comparatively Quiet.
Manila, Feb. 2S.-Except for an oc-
casional volley and some individual fir
ing by the rebels from the jungle near
CaIoocan along the river and in the vi
cinity of San Pedro Macati all was quiet
along the entire line Sunday night.
In Manila absolute quiet prevails; the
streets arc deserted and the only
sounds to be heard after seven o'clock
in the evening are the tramp Of the
patrols and sentries and the occasional
canter Of the hoofs Of an officers horse.

Manila Feb 27.Ad dmiral Dewey and
Gen. Otis on Saturday received word OF
