DIsBANDED BY GOVERNOR
Summary Action In the Case of the
Capital City Guards.

y
Capital City Guards.
COLUMBIA, S. O., Sept. 6.-There is
great indignation among the negroes
because of the disbanding, by Governor
insolvency, of the Capital City guards,
negro company, but the best drilled
military organization in the state, and
probably the crack negro military COM
pany of the country.
Labor day this company paraded in
the afternoon. A party of mill opera
tives drove through their ranks, knock
ing down a soldier. Twenty minutes
later another party of young men dashed
into the crowd of negro spectators, driv-
ing over a woman and child. While
the captain turned to pick up the child.
eight of his men broke ranks pursuing
them. They met other whites, attacked
them with bayonets and loaded their
rifles before being dispersed.
Governor insolvency and his wife
were for a time In the midst of the riot.
The governor has ordered the eight
offending soldiers dishonorably dis
charged. They are at present in the
city changing serving sentences for
riot.
The company is said to have pur-
chased 10000 rounds of ammunition
and stored it in the armory. 1t was
feared if it was not disbanded, there
would be bloody riot when next it
paraded.

Ii Hung Chang has received advice
from Peking to the effect that the allied
forces are gradually handing over the
government of the capital to the Chi
nese and that Prince Ching (the reform
president of the tsung Ii yamen) has
been placed In charge of the imperis
city.
WASHINGTON, Sept. e.-The attitude
Of the German government on the Rus
sion proposal for the evacuation Of Pc.
king has been made known to the au'
thorities here. 1t comes in communi
cation from the American charge
d'affaires in Berlin, William jackson
and with clearness sets forth the Ger
man position. In substance it states
that Germany is DESTROYS of avoidin {
friction between the powers, but thai
she considers the conditions at Pekine
such as to require the retention of Ger
man forces there.
The statement Of Germany's views ii
made In such form as to be taken al
conclusive that it is Germany's purpose
not to withdraw her troops from Peking,
even though Russia should do So 1t ii
said to be more in line of simple an
nOuncement than argument for answer.
It is presumed that 1t reflects the views
made known by Germany to Russia.
While there is no definite information
as to the attitude of most of the other
countries there Is reason to believe that
Germany's position in favor of remain.
ing at Peking finds strong sympathetic
approval at other European capitals and
that it will be the basis of similar action
by the other powers, if, indeed, they
have not already made it known that
they are III favor of remaining at Pc.
king
In this connection a new considera-
ton has arisen, namely, whether the
ministers shall remain at Peking along
with the troops, as it appears to be gen.
orally accepted that the troops Of some,
Ii not all of the powers, will remain at
the Chinese capital. But this Is on the
ground the military force is necessary to
preserve order. There is no necessity
for continuing the presence of the for
eign minister so that the negotiations
are now taking into consideration the
departure of the ministers to Tien Tsin,
even should the troops be retained.
Without doubt the developments of
the past "a hours are regarded as i'm.
portant by the state department, and
perhaps the German view, taken in con.
nection with the French response, which,
while not so positive as that of Ger
many, is still full of significance, as ii
has determined the state department. TO
take another step forward in the negoti.
TONS
There were signs this morning of 40.
tivity and of consultations between the
officials and a conference between the
president and Acting Secretary Hill,
which seemed to mark the position Of
the United States on the subject of the
Chinese troubles.

Stuffed a Barn With Money.

going the rounds that somewhere on

The credulOus believe II and are in

that the rats and mice have been car
