Antitrust Bill Passed.

O.
last Monday night, after being
weighted down with amendments. As
originally introduced, it was the fac
smile of the Texas law. Then it was
amended to the Illinois law, with
slight notifications. This was sub
sequently cut up, destroying the orig
inal purpose of the bill. Jeremiah
Smith, an old farmer, made one of the
chief speeches against the bill.
cit would be committing suicide to
interfere with trusts before the ma
tional government has laid its hands
on them. This bill will cripple the
commerce of the state. It will pre-
vent our merchants from buying any
thing" He said he was opposed to
the trusts on general principles, but
he had had experience in using south
ern oil as against the trust product,
and the former smoked everything IN
three feet of it.
.'The bill will encourage deception
and fraud among the people, }" said he,
''for man can get out OF paying an
honest debt by saying he bought the
article from the trusts"
He believed in competition, but said
this bill would prevent the American
Tobacco Company from sending it's
buyers here and to his section OF the
state.
South Carolina has the biggest
trust (the dispensary) in, the whole
country, and what are you going to do
with it?'
The tobacco growing district led the
fight against the bill.

Senator McLcLaurin Proposed.

S6n8COf MCACL AoPoooN'
The Washington Star says:
'Senator Sullivan of Mississippi
had an important conference with
President Mckinley regarding the
new commission which is to 60 to the
Philippines. He urged the president
to appoint southern man OF prom!-
nence on the commission. The presl-
dent, it is said, assented to this sug-
gestion, and indicated that he would
arrange the commission so that all Sec
tions of the country would be repre-
sented.
"Senator Sullivan presented the
name of Senator McLaurin OF South
Carolina for this honor. It is said
that his Democratic and Republican
senatorial friends have reached an
agreement for presenting his name to
the white house.
cit is understood that strong ef-
fort will be made by influential sena-
tors of all parties to have the appoint
ment offered him.
"Those close to him and who know
of his decided pro-expausion views
think it probable that he would seri-
ousry consider acceptance. To accept
he would have to resign his seat IN
the senate, with more than three years
to serve, and a strong hold on the
good will of the people of his state.
His friends declare that he is so con-
vinced that in four or five years the
country will be unanimous in uphold
ing what has been done he would not
hesitate to resign, leaving his political
ambition to the future.

The bill providing for separate
coaches for the races, and abolishing
class fares on railroads, has passed
both branches of the Legislature, and
will receive the governors signature.

plan of railroads dividing coaches by
partitions for the use of the races is
prohibited. Negroes and whites must
each have one full coach. Three cents

READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY.

Santiago de Cuba, April 9--The first
important action of the new mayor,
Senior Grinan, in suppressing FL Cubano
Libre and placing under arrest the ed
itorial staff of five men, created intense
excitement when it became known
FL Cubano Libre has always been in
tense1y radical in its utterances against
the Americans, Spaniards and white
Cubans 1t published an editorial,
both offensive and indecent, in criti-
cism of the civil government, particu-
larly the municipal branch The
editorial characterized the place as IAN
official sewer and a cesspool of moral
corruption and used other language
not fit for publication 1t charged Off
Gals with stealing. The new mayor,
who proposes an aggressive and pro-
gressive administration, acting under
General Woods order of March "a.
giving mayors the control of public
order, confiscated the printing plant
and landed the editorial staff in Jail.
He justifies this step on the grounds of
public deeency- The Americans, for
eigners and best class of Cubans
applaud his action. Two hundred
prominent Cubans signed a telegram to
General Wood endorsing Senior Grinan-s
course. The colored party objects and
says the time has arrived for decisive
action. The co1ored general Rabi and
other leaders were telegraphed to come
Immediately to Santiago to head
popular movement against the An,eri-
cans and the Cuban traitors" There
is considerable excitement in the city
and it is expected that the release of
the editors will be followed by riots.
All of the police of the city and the
rural gu ards are under arms and ready
for emergency.

KENTUCKY COURT DECIDES.
Six of the Seven Judges Sign the
Verdict.
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT.

Frankfort, KY, April 9--The court
of appeals handed down a decision in
the governorship case in favor Of the
Democrats. The opinion is by six of
the Judges, four Democrats and two
Republicans One Republican, Dur
ellie. dissented. The other two Repub-
liean judges, Burnam and Gutfy, gave
a separate opinion from the Democratic
judges, but which agreed with the
Democratic members in its conclusion.
The opinion holds that the action of
the legislature in seating Governor
BeclSham was final and that the courts
have no right to review it: that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjourning the Legislature to London.
and that the journals of the two houses
of the legislature being regular cannot
be impeached-
The Republicans will now try to get
a hearing before the United States
preme court Thirty days must elapse
before the mandate of the court of APP
pea1s, in accordance with the decision,
is issued Meanwhile, radical
change in the relative positions of the
state governments is expected
Judges Burnam and Guffy, RepubE-
cans. while concurring in the decision
of the court, dissented from the
soning. Judge BurnSm's separate
opinion says: Il have been led, with
some reluctance, to the conclusion, and
not without some Elisgivings as to its
correctness, that there is no power in
the courts of the state to review the
findings of the general assembly in
contested election for the offices of
governor and lieutenant governor as
shown by its only authenticated
representatives.
Ex-Governor Bradley said I'VE will
not take advantage of any technieality
to delay the progress of the case The
decision of the court of appeals is not
disheartening to US. We shall ask for
a writ of error to the supreme court at
once and these contests will now be
at end in very short time

swollen far beyond its natural banks,
roaring and surging through all the
lower part of the town, having spread
destruction and death in its wake
Small houses, trees and other debris
of every desert ption piled up against
the dam. The crisis came suddenly,
with a report like the roar of the ocean,
the great wedge, twenty-five feet high,
500 feet wide and about eight feet
thick, rolled out of the center section
of the dam down the face of the sixty
foot fall, deep into the river below.
This left a hanging gap in the very
middle of the dam through which the
debris and water fiercely poured, while
the flood already raging, was threaten
ing everything in it's path
reports from points from below mere
are to the effect that the flood has been
most disastrous The surface of the
river throughout the day has been dot
ted with small houses or fragments of
houses and drowned animals, along
with trees and debris, all of which
bear testimony to the ravages of the
flood in the mountainous region above
Austin.
