ROBERTS, Army Decreased.

London, June 2O.-There are some
indications that Lord Roberts consid-
ers the wars end in South Africa not
far distant. One of these is the fact
that the Natal volunteers, who had
seen hard service, were dismissed to
their homes by Sir Redvers Butler.
Another indication is the report cur
rent in authoritatively informed mill
tary circles in London that complete
division of regulars is to be withdrawn
from General Buffers army and en-
barked at Durham for China.

Getting Troops to China Is Slow.

Washington, June 22.-The admins
tration is said to be very much en-
barrassed because of the length of time
which will necessarily elapse before
the United States military reinforce
ments can reach China. When General
Macarthur, at Manila, received in
structions to send regiment OF
infantry to Taku with all possible
dispatch, it was impossible for him to
comply Immediately because of raging

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-Fouudation for
the statement published broadcast to the
effect that the United Fruit Company,
most commonly known as the BanaDa
Trust, would soon begin the manufacture
and refining of sugar in opposition to the
American Sugar Refinery, known as the
Sugar Trust, is based on the fact that
the former has purcha sed the Ninth Street
elevator and several blocks OF ground ad-
jacent at a cost of sS5, 600. and the old
Louisiana state Lottery Building on St.
Charles Street at a cost of 5,0o0 The
latter has been occupied as the fruit COM
panys offices. On the Sugar Exchange
here il is said on authority of several
brokers that IL is known this company
has but recently come into possession of
the principal sugar plantations Of Porto

superintendent Frye reports that he
found the schools in a satisfactory eondi
ton. He inspected many OF them and in
his tour was accompanied by the various
boards of education. The members of
these boards received some valuable
hints from the Superintendent. Mr. Frye
says the principal faults he discovered
were that the children were not arranged
in classes according to age and that there
was a great scarcity of school books.
One thing he discovered that pleased
him was that the teachers and boards of
education were very enthusiastic in their
work. Other members of the Governor
Generals party say Mr.. Frye's reception
in the various towns visited was aston
ishing. The people turned out every

SOUTH cARoLINA's DEBT.
The Government Figures Out a
Claim for $JIO.4.9.

According to Treasury officials. the
State of South Carolina is indebted to
the Government in the sum of more than
a third of a million dollars. Ihs
amount OF the long-stading bill of
the United States against South Caro-
lima on account of military stores seized
by the State in December. 1860, has been
fixed at $780, 79 by the Auditor for the
War Department. Comptroller TraceweII

lima that the amount is due to the Federal

The stores in question were kept, pre-
sumabIy at Charlestown, by Fred. G.. Hum

secession. Following the election Of Lin
COLI. the State seized large quantities OF
them. in preparation for war The Cen
eral Government has now taken up the
matter, and the Auditor for the War De-
partment has placed a valuation on the
properly thus seized.
The account promises to be purely a mat
ter Of bookkeeping. for il is not believed
that South Carolina will pay the claims.
However should any money hereafter be
due the State from the Government it Is
expected that the old war claims viii be
used b. the Government rs an Offset.
The State presented bill to the Fed

THE SAVINGS BANK ARGUMENT
Stone Discusses Re-
publican Claim.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Before he left
this morning Ex-Governor Stone gave out
the following interview about savings
banks and prosperity:
Il see that the Republicans are max
ing considerable capital over the fact
that in the past two or three years the
amount OF deposits in the savings banks
of he State have been materially in
erea sed. l have been talking with a num-
Der uf people about this, and have found
out that your savings banks men pay a
good rate of interests, 1-2, and 4 per
cent-and that under your admirable
banking laws money in savings bank is
about as safe and good an investment as
a man can make. The result is that many
wealthy people have been distributing
considerable of their money around in
savings banks.
These banks, am told will accept for
deposit from $1,000 to $4,000. The rate
of interest is better than most stocks
and bonds; it is safer investment than
most stocks or bonds. and the money can
be drawn out at from one week to sixty
days notice. Men who are looking for
small mortgages and similar investments
have been turning TO the savings banks.
Incidentally this is loading up the banks

In general way. it may be said that

in any unprecedented mind that these
efforts are being made with point and
purpose and with all the earnestness
with which the British Lion hab;tually
hunts his prey. There is a useful ob.ect
lesson for the American people in the

Conservative people who witnessed the
great Democratic rally at Baltimore last
night will not be disposed to agree with
the Hanna claim that the Monumental City
is doubtful and that therefore, the State
of Maryland is also. Much comfort has
been taken by Republican campaign man
ayers from the assurances of Federal Of
ficers in Baltimore that if given suffi-
Gent amount of corruption money they
could buy the votes necessary to overcome
the Democratic majority In the country dis
tricts. The enthusiasm and evidences Of
thorough organization displayed at the
meeting last night go to show that there
is nothing in the claim that the Maryland
metropolis can be turned away from Nj.
Bryan by fraud.
That fraud will be attempted there is no
reason to doubt. II is assumed as a mat
ter of course that, as usual, an effort will
be made to import large number of

The Administration is quite awake to
