THE EXPOSITION BILL.

All of the York members of the house,
except Mr.. de Loach, voted for the
Charleston exposition bill, as publish
ed elsewhere in this issue. Mr.. de
Loach was not opposed to the bill ex-
cept on constitutional grounds. He
moved to strike out the enacting words
of the bill and defined his position in
a comprehensive speech which is re-
ported in The News and Courier of
Wednesday as follows:
Mr.. Speaker, 7 wish to put myself on
record and my reasons for moving to
strike out the enacting words of this
bill; and, sir, l have no apologies to
make to anyone for making the motion.
l did it because l believe the constitu-
tion of this state in spirit and in words
forbids this legislature to appropriate
this sum, and it is because I think 1t is
opposed to the constitution of this state
that I made the motion. l recognize
the ability Of the gentlemen, VINO have
declared that the measure is conSti-
tutional one; but I have the conStitu-
tion before me, sir, and under the head
of taxation we find that the general as
sembly should derive its powers from
the constitution. This constitution,
Will IIS NOlSS VI lllC PCOpiS, ehiiNa
which we are sworn to defend, under
the head of finance and taxation, Sec. 2,
article 10, submits under that section
that the general assembly derives it's
powers to make assessment and levy
taxes; so under that section the general
assembly shall provide for an annual
tax sufficient to defray the expenses
for each year, and whenever 1t shall
happen that the ordinary expenses of
this state for any year shall exceed the
income of the state, the general assem-
bly, shall provide for the year sufficient
funds to pay the deficiency of the pre-
ceding year. Under that section I sub
NIT we shall only have the right to
tax for the estimated expenses Of the
state government" Mr.. de Loach read
from the constitution and defended his
position that the appropriat ton could
be legally made. To the end that the
public debt of South Carolina may not
hereafter be increased without due con-
Sideration and free consent Of the state
the general assembly is forbidden to
add anything further to the debt by OBJ
legation, by guarantee. by endorsement
or otherwise, except for the ordinary
and current expense of the state. Now
Mr.. Speaker. and gentlemen, l would
not if I could place one single solitary
obstacle in the way of the success OF
the exposition. which is to be held in
Charleston. I say there is not a man
on this floor that would like to see that
exposition a success more than / would
but when l am asked to make an ap-
preparation that is inconsistent with
my construction of the constitution.
feel / am compelled to vote against it
Every man here can conStrue it fol
himself and if he considers that it is
constitutional and his people desire it
he is bound to vote for it. If he CON
siders it. as do. he is bound by his OBJ
legations to support and defend tho
constitution and vote against it.

Many citizens are growing alarm
>>ed at the smallpox situation, the dis
ease being reported from surrounding
towns. and the question of ordering
compulsory vaccination is being dis
cussed. The quarantine idea has also
been suggested; but DR.. Walker, chair
man of the local board of health, is not
in favor of such measure for the rea-
son he does not think it can possibly be
made effective. Uf to this writing,
Friday at. noon, no official action OF
any kind had been taken.
miss Maggie Moore, postmaster, re-
ceived notice Friday, that commencing
on next Sunday, Yorkville will hereaf-
ter be served with a Sunday mail for
the convenience Of the postal patrons
who desire the same. The change
grows out Of the desire of the postal
authorities to give every reasonable ac-
commodation to the people who get
mail here. In answer TO a question
from Supt. Terrell, as to whether she
would be willing to handle the mail on
Sundays. Miss Moore replied that she
was there to obey orders, and when
told that this was not an order she
said that she was always glad to ac-
commodate the patrons of the office to
the fullest extent of her power. 1t was
accordingly arranged that the York
vile mail from the North and West
will come down on Sunday mornings in
a locked pouch, and the office will be
kept open half an hour after the ar
rival of the train. There will be no de-
livery of mail in the afternoon except
the Columbia State will be distributed
as heretofore; but letters and papers
mailed during the day will be sent
north in the afternoon.

WHOM THEY ARE AFTER.

NEW YORK. February T.-It was given
out to-day by the committee of fifteen that
John McCullagh, State superintendent of
elections and formerly chief of police of
New York, was the mar employed by the
committee to gather evidence concerning
gambling in this city. and that he had
organized last nights raids. Mr.. McCul-
lagh tonight confirmed this and said he
was pleased with the results and did not
believe the police had tipped off to the
gamblers the coming of the raiders.
Supt. McCullagh declared Deputy Com
missioner Devery Is not the man that the
fifteen are after, and that Devery is sim
ply obeying orders and that If he did not
do so that he would be put out and some
man put in who did.
ut is the people who hold the entire po-
lice force in their grasp and are RESPONSE
BILE for gambling" said Supt. McCullagh.
I'VE want them and we are going to get
them"
All the men arrested in the raid last
night were taken to the criminal court
building to-day for preliminary examina-
ton. In the case of alleged proprietors
the charge was violation Of section "a of
the penal code, which makes it a felony
to be the owner of any device or appa-
ratus for gambling. Bail was fixed in
sums ranging from s1.eo0 TO $3.50.

REDUCTION.
Senate and House Conferees Nearer
nm AGreenaent--The Cigar Tax.

Senate and House Conferces Nearer
an AgreerleRt--The Cigar Tax.
WASHINGTON, February 27.-The
Republican conferees on the event
reduction bill have reached an agree
ment on many of the items in contro-
versy, in addition to those on beer, to-
bacco, bank checks and medicines, here
tofore given. The House provision re-
pealing the tax on insurance policies,
life and fire, were retained. The Senate
provision regarding c~onveyances of real
estate, etc, are preferred over those
Of the House, which made a complete
repeal of all taxes on c~onveyances. The
Senate provision exeInpts c~onyeyances
under $3.50 and imposes a tax of Is
cents for each $500 over $4,000. The
numerous special taxes on theatres,
circuses, exhibitions are taken off as
provided by the House. Beside the
compromise of $50 cents on tobacco,
the cigar rates come in for much dis
cussion. But owing to some question
as to the rights of the conferees over
this item, the rate on cigars .~probably
will remain at SO per thousand.
The understanding thus far reached
is looked upon as likely to be final,
although the conferees themselves say
tnat no formal agreement has yet been
arrived at and it will not be until the
democratic conferees are called in that
a final agreement can be made. In the
meantime the Republican members are
continuing their meetings on the va
rious items still open, with the pros
pect that a complete adjustment is not
far off.

nothing more than an expression Of
good win toward The Nstional League
as against Ban Jchnston's organization.
Whether the players ratify Zimmer's
agreement or not, the concessions made
by the league will hold good.
The most important concession, per-
haps, is the new option clause. Here
tofore q club owner could employ a
young player at q smaller salary and
compel him whether he developed into
a star OF not, to keep on playing year
after year at the same salary. 1t was
optional with the owner to increase the
salary to fit the service.
Now a player may make a demand
for more money at the end of the first
year. He can be compelled to play at
the same salary the following year, but
then, it his reasonable demands be not
met he is free to sign where he wishes.
The new clause Is a great thing for
young players.
In the selling, transferring and
farming out" clauses, the players got
all they asked. Now, a players con-
sent is necessary before he car be
sold, transferred or farmed out.
President thinner, Of the players,
left for Washington tonight. He
said he was immensely pleased with
the concessions.
We got all we asked and did not
recede from our original demands"
he said. Il was advised by lawyer to
sign the agreement demanded by the
league. At best it is conditional upon
the action Of the players association
as a body. 1t is not legally binding
upon any member of the association"
1t was learned late tonight that
President Freedman, of the New York
club, had again broken with the mag
mates because of their refusal to adopt
his suggestion calculated to do away
with rowdyism. He left the meeting
highly indignant and is said to
have declared that he would have
nothing more to do with league base
bali until the magnates had taken
more decided steps toward purifying
the game.

AGAINST H I L

BOSTON, February 27.-Judge Brown, of
The United States Circuit Court, has de-
cided against the American Bell Telephone
company in the famous Berliner patent
case.
The Berliner patent is considered one OF
the most important held by the Bell COM
pany. and does not expire until November
Il, 1898. The patent is the same one that
has been before the courts in the United
States VS.. Belle Telephone Company,
where it was held that the patent was not
invalid on account Of delay at the patent
office.
The whole case turns up on the validity
OF his patent, the defense setting up,
among other things, the invalidity of the
patent. its lack of invention, anticipating
the non-patentability.
1t is understood that an appeal will be
made from the decision and that it will
be carried to the United States Supreme
Court upon this appeal.

and insurgents for theree OF the slate
nominees, namely: Corcoran CD,
Brand (R.), and Wood (R.), giving each
Of them % votes. The number of Re-
publicans upon the slate was ONE
what of a surprise to the regular Re-
publicans.
After each ballot. the mayor declared
the candidate voted for to have been
elected. The situation of the Repunli-
can strategists and self-appointed lead
ers was pitiable. 1t was the final pull
sation Of power, for two years at least,
Of the domineering rinssters who have
had charge of city affairs. 1t is a
change which will meet the desires of
the people, and it is an equitable dis
tribution, from a political standpoint,
which satisfies the p%artisans.
The democrats were prepared to
dispose of the accumulated business.
and the Second Branch did pass the
bills for election expenses, but as soon
as the First Branch members returned
to their chamber, a motion to ad-
journ was adopted.
