- Despite the many more abstrusive
signs of progress here, nothing is more
significant Of Columbia's development
into real city and a leading mart of
the state, than the improvement in the
quality of the stocks being handled by
her merchants. Goods which a year or
two ago would have been unstable by
reason of the costlineSS, are being ham
died freely and disposed of as readily as
the cheaper grades.--Columbia State, Sat-
urday.
THE ENQUIRER has already called
attention in its local columns to the
development of exactly this condition
of affairs in Yorkville, and our leading
merchants are giving more detailed in-
formation in our advertising columns.
We do not believe we overstate the
truth when we say that there are more
good goods in Yorkville today, than
there has been at any one time pre-
viously within the past seven or eight
years. Heretofore qualities have not
been quite so good as was required by
the local demand, and the result has
been considerable mail order business
with larger markets. This was be.
cause of the fact that although there
was some demand for better goods,
the demand was not extensive enough
to warrant the carrying of stock sufi
cient to cater to such trade. But this
spring it is different, and there has
come under our observation a number
of cases where people who have been
in the habit of sending abroad, are
finding themselves suited at home.

EMPEROR WILLIAM IS DEEPLY AROUSED Has Become IncenSed at Eng lands Repeated Seizures" AN OUTRAGE TO THE FLAG Indignation Meetings Have Been Called and the German Press With Hard-
 ly an Exception is Growl-
 ing at Great Britain
AN OUTRAGE TO THE FLAG

Berlin, January 4-The seizure of the im- perial mail steamer General has consfdera- bly aggravated the situation here, and the indignation against England Is intensified. The government Is still earnestly endeav- bring to preserve correct official relations. but England will do well to hasten to make the amende honorable to Germany.
 On absolutely reliable authority the cor respondent of the Associated Press learns that Emperor William Is now thoroughly aroused by the repeated seizure of vessels, not one of which. he has oeen assured. is guilty of carrying contraiband. He regards the seizures as high-handed proceedings, which England would not have dared to undertake if the German navy were more powerful than it is.
 His majesty is said to roe particularly in- censed because information has reached him showing that the seizures were not due to the blundering of British naval officers, but to strict orders from headquarters, which the officers are merely carrying out. He has therefore Instructed Court Von Buelow, the foreign secretary, to demand exact and full reparatton for the outrage done to the German flag. No answer that is considered satisfactory has yet been re- ceived from London, and according to ad- vices here none is ito be expected for sev- eral days longer.
 Today's news, however induced the Ger man government to send another and more strongly worded protest to London. Signifi- cant of the intensity of Germany's indigna- tion against England in this matter is a de- claration published today by the German colonial society, among whose S0,000 mem bers are a numbeG' of reigning German princes, which says;
 "Englands recent proceedings against German vessels are an outrage. The fact remains that the small respect which the English people feel for Germany because of her deficiency in naval power has taken such deep root that the commanders of En- glish warships hasten to commit breaches of interna tional rights so long as Germany is touched. This lack of fear to touch the German flag must be thoroughly and speed fly cured"
 Indignation meetings have been called by branches of the colonial society. The Ger man press, with hardly an exception, thun- ders against England. Even the semi-of- fical Berliner Post says:
 .It cannot be denied that the indignation aroused by the wilfulness of the seizures by the British commanders Is spreading in wider and wider circles"

THE HOUSE

Washington, January 4.-The house ses- sion was very brief again today, the only incident being the adoption of the Sulzer resolution introduced yesterday, calling up on Secretary Gage for all information re- sarding the deposits of government funds in certain New York national banks. The resolution as adopted was made more gen. eral in its scope, and an amendment was added to cover information respecting the transactions relating to the sale of the New York custom house site.
 Secretary Cages friends had f6een in formed that he courted the fullest investi- gatfon, and was prepared to submit all the facts to congress. Accordingly, there was no friction over the passage of the reso- ld'tion, which was unanimously adopted.
 MT. Sulzer arose after the presentl ton or the resolution and said he would accept the amendments.
 asked for five minutes which he desired to yield to Mir. Levy. democrat, of New York. The request was compiled with, and MT. Levy offered an amendment to the resolu ton, which included reques. for the sec retary's reasons for delaying the deposits In national banks until the panic had oc- cured. MT. Levy said he had warned the secretary in September t;lat panic was imminent Had the secretary needed that warning and deposited government funds in national banks in September and October instead of buying bonds the panic would have been averted.
 The amendment was promptly ruled out of order, and the resolution also offered by MT. Payne was adopted.
 Then at 1920 the house adjourned until Monday

SENATOR SULLIVAN
 GIVEN NOMINATION Scenes of Turbulence Quieted and There Was Peace. THERC WAS NO B0LTING No Mention of Any Kind Was Made of Personal Charges Against the
 Senator, and His Nomina-
 ton Made Unanimous
THERL WAS NO BOLTING

Jackson, Miss, January 4.-Amid scenes the states history the joint democratic caucus of the Mississippi legislature to- night nominated Senator W. V. Sullivan as the United States senator to fiji the special term of one year ending March 1, 1901. The call for the caucus was signed by 1Ol mem bers, six of whom were Iowery men. The signatures included all members who had been suspected of an intention to bolt their instructions.
 It was evidently the intention of the Lowery followers to postpone the caucus if possible, owing bo their state of unpre- paredness. and this was manifested from the outset by the dlatory tactics adopted and the numerous motions made
 The Sullivan followers completed the caucus on organization by electing George Anderson, of Warren, as chairman.
 After nearly two hours of parliamentary wrangling, during which several members were called to order, roll call was se- cured and Sullivan was given the nomina- tion by vote of SS to 72 being majority of sixteen, and lacking only eighteen votes of being the total membership of both houses
 MT. Bowers. of Biloxi, one of Lowery's staunchest supporters then moved that the nominati ton of Mir Sullivan be made unan- iTnous, which was carried. This set aside all possibility of further contests when the formal election is brought up in the legis- lature,
 all trtt, lac cended to the speakers stand under the es- cort of special committee. In brief speech. he thanked the caucus for the hon. or. Ex-Governor Lowwey made a magnan- imeus address, free from all rancor or feel ing.
 There was no bolting of instruction among any of the members, although sev- eral of the fioaters, representing counties and districts where factional instructions had been given, asked to be recorded at p'esent as not voting. No mention of any kind was made of the personal charges brought against Sullivan, and Tn his ad- dress of thanks the speaker said that he regarded the e'nomination as vindication of his public and private career
 Hon. w. V. Sullivan is a civil attorney by profession and a man of considerable personal wealth. He is a native of La- Fayette county, and is now in his f2d year. While not a brilliant orator. he is plain, forcible. talker. Mir Sullivan was serving term in congress when the death of Sena- tor Walthall occurred and Governor Me- Laurin appointed him to fill the vacancy. A short term of one year, from the 4th of March, 19o0, to the 4th of March, 1901, en- suing as a result of the adoption of the new constitution, he made a canvass for election to the place against ex-Governor Robert Lowery The campaign was produc- tive of several senations, chief among which were charges against Sullivan's character of a grave nature. It has been amply proven, however, that the charges were without foundat tion.
