Attack Unsuspected and
British, Russians. French
and Germans Sustain
Losses.

London, June 19, $3.50 a a. m.-
China declared war against the
world when the Taku forts opened
fire upon the international fleet.
The accounts of what took place
are still unsatisfactory. The best
semi-of6cial information ia the
dispatch received at Berlin from
Che Foo, which said that the Taku
forts had been captured after a
combined attack by The foreign
warships. Three men on the
German warship Iltis were killed
and seven were wounded.
The dispatch adds that the
foreign settlements at Tien Tsin
were being tired into oy tne
Chinese.
When the dispatch left nothing
had been heard f,om the German
detachment sent to Pekin or from
the German legation there.
The unofficial narratives, coming
by way of Shanghai, vary widely
and bear internal evidence of
gsapplementing the main facts with
guess work. One dispatch says
that the Yorktown participated IN
the bombardment. Another asserts
that American marines formed
part Of the storming force of 1000.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Che Foo, dated yesterday Afternoon,
P" !
says: aThe forts on both sides of
the Taku are now occupied. The
Chinese opened fire unexpectedly.
The casualties to the mixed forces
were as follows:
Killed-British 1, German 9,
Russian is, and French 1.
ssW Wounded- British 4. German
Russian As, and French 1.
sThe Chinese torpedo boats
were seized"

Mr.. A. C. Jones, candidate for
the United States senate, then
spoke. He charged that iillman
had gotten for Charleston the
transportation of troops and the
dry dock in return for the vote OF
Charleston. He claimed that he
could better represent them and
do more for them than Tillman.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Charleston, S. c., June 14-Tne
State campaign meeting started
out today at Orangeburg ii red hot
fashion. Tillman said it was
regular monkey and parrot outlook.
1t is evident that the plan out
lined is to push Hoyt and Nc
Swneeney to the wall. Patterson
took the lead in the attack and
jumped on McSwseney vigorously
To begin with, Patterson accused
McSweeney with being in political
league with the blind tigers in
Charleston and Columbia and
then, to round off the period, read
a recent editorial from the Occonee
News in which Editor Werner
said he had the proof against Nc
Sweeney that he patronized tigers
McSWeeney got up and emphati-
cally said the charge was false,
and there that matter ended. The
proof is the next step if there be
any.
Then. Pasterson said everyone
thought the governor was paying
for all the papers he was getting
and paying for, but he found the
State was paying for them all and
even paying for the Hampton
Guardian and the Herald End
News. McSweeney explained that
it has been the custom, and he
wanted data on State affairs.
Patterson also jumped on the
governor for paying $40 for a
picture of the governors of the
State.
Gary favored dispepsary, but want
ed each county allowed the chance
to say what it wanted.
Patterson and Gary both
jumped Hoyt for an editorial in
the Mountaineer last January, IN
which he is alleged to have written
in effect: The prohibitionists and
opponents of dispensary should
60 together as far as they could
and destroy the great whiskey
machine, which is the impeachment
to prohibition, and let's agree as
we can upon plan which will give
prohibition q major part of the
territory wrested from the COM
men enemy. Col. Hoyt was in
the thought to be insincere.

MSWEENEY DENOUNCES PATTERSON.
The Candidates for Governor
aAs-' Make it Interesting for
the Crowd.

Orangeburg, S. c., June IA
There was fair attendance at the
campaign meeting today. A
number of new pledges were filed,
notably that of Prohibitlonist
Jones for United States senator.
.Mcseeney opened and the crowd
was evidently with him. There
were few counter cheers for Hoyt.
Besides his record as governor he
spoke chiefly on the dispensary
versus prohibition.
The crowd was good humord
but noisy, and Hoyt was annoyed.
Patterson was we'll received.
His address was chiefly regarding
the impracticability of prohibit
ion. He attacked McSweeney for
not enforcing the dispensary law
in Charleston and Columbia. The
crowd yelled for Mcsweeney. The
meeting grew rowdy ard attacked
private character of McSweeney.
They charged Mcsweeney with
patronizing blind tigers. Nc
Sweeney rose and pronounced the
charges false. Then there were
yells for McSweeney and great dis
order. Gary was oil on the troubled
waters. His slogan was lack of en-
forcemenl of the dispensary law.
Jones said he had no especial
fight to make on Tillman. His
position in National politics was
for tariff for revenue OF luxuries
and he was opposed to Wall streets
control and the trusts and believed
in control of the Philippines and
the surrender of Cuba to the
Cubans.

AFTER THE GOOD LIQUOR?

When the candidates for railroad
commissioner were trotted out the
popular chord was struck by
Barney Evans. Mr.. W.D. Evans
was called home, and B. B. Evans
made speech along new line.
He caught the. crowd by stating
that with all her conventions COM
ing here Charleston had nothing
but a horse lot for passengers to
alight in. Winter tourists would
never stop here if they once stuck
their heads out of the car window
and saw the depots. The crowd
howled when he congratulated
Charleston upon obtaining the dry
dock. He referred to the waste of
Charleston in paying $4,000 for a
a fright bureau and importing a
man from New Orleans to conduct
it. He declared that this work
should be done by the railroad
commission, and the statement
was cheered. The railroad COM
mission, he declared, does nothing
but ride around on the train and
drink good liquor.
Mr.. Wharton struck responsive
chord in speaking Of Charleston's
opportunity as a cotton centre il
proper rates could be obtained.
Mr.. w. D. Evans, Mr. w. D
Mayfeld and Mr.. J. G. Etheredgt
sent regrets.
Col. Elliott was sick and could
not be there.
