TIELMAN ON RACE QUESTION.
Palmetto Senator Reeales Wisconsin
Audience With Characteristic Speech.

Palmetto Senator Regales Wisconsin
Audience With Characteristic Speech.
A special from Marinette, Wis, says
that United States Senator Benjamin
F. Tillman, of South Carolina, address,
ed large audience there on the race
question from southern standpoint.
One Of the features of his remarks was
a plea in justification of lynching. In
Wisconsin you have 5000 black men,"
he said. why don't you try the bleach
In process and exterminate them by
inter-marrying? The idea is repugnant
to you. In South Carolina we have
100000 blacks and 550,0O0 whites. The
carpet baggers, the niger and the
southern scalawags and scoupdrels
ruled US after the war unlll they had
stolen everything that there was in
the state; then we went with our shot
guns to the polls and took 1t away
from them. All men are not created
equal, and the 'niggers' are not tit to
vote. Come what may, the people OF
the south will govern their own coun-
try" -
He condemned Booker Washington's
scheme educating the negro along IN
dustrial lines as an attempt to place
him on an equality with the white art-
san, something that would intensity
race hatred in the south. He said that
among the 100000 slaves during the
rebellion there were more Christians
than there are today among the g.
OOO 900 blacks in the south. ".I don't
want to uphold slavery" he continued.
Il thank God there are no slaves to-
day under the Stars and Stripes"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent plea
in justification Of lynching, saying
that southern women could not be
brought into court to testify, to their
shame and degradation, before a jury
for the purpose of convicting beast.
His reference to the sanctity Of the
southern household and the southern
women and his remarks on lynchlng
were heartily applauded. He closed
with an impassioned statement to the
effect that the white people of the
south would remain on top In spite
If the devil" and, If necessary, he and
he hre45rsy+.~1re ready to take down
their shotguns again. .~>>>

SpeciaI LEGISLATION Needed.

A recent Columbia special states
that the death of Mrs. Miles, resulting
from being struck by a locomoblle,
may cause some legislation against
that particular kind of vehicle. This
special machine is six-seated con-
Germ and frightens horses and mules as
a locomotive engine if it is met on the
highway. Numbers of horses have
been stampeded on the country roads
around Columbia and serious acci-
dents have been narrowly escaped.
urivers of nervous or high-strung
horses are kept in state Of anxiety
when taking an afternoon drive for
fear this steam monster may be on
the same road.
The question has been asked wheth-
er it is legal for machine Of this
character to be operated on the pub
lie roads when its presence there i'm

DEBATING PEACE PROPOSALS
Strike Leaders Giving Long and Ia.
borIous Consideration to Propo-
slticn Of the Steel Trust.

Hope deferred maketh the heart
Sick" This was expressive Of the feel
ings of the majority Of Pittsburg, Pa,
people Wednesday night outside OF
the inner circle of the Amalgamated
association executive board who hac
been considering the proposals for q
settlement OF the steel strike for two
days without an agreement.
The second day Of the executive
boards deliberations was notable for
the many rumors in circulation and for
the conspicuous dearth Of results. The.
Absence Of three Of the principal mem.
bers OF the board from the session
Wednesday gave rise to the story that
the members were divided In their
ideas of the peace proposals and that
in order to satisfy all Secretary VIII
Iiams had been sent to New York 70

Messrs. Morgan and Schwab, while AS
sistant Secretary Tighe and Trustee,
Morgan had received commission 70
visit Senator Hanna to secure his aid
In bringing about an amicable arrange
ment. Nothing tangible could be learn
ed concerning the supposed trips.
The condition Of affairs Wednesday
night can be summed up In this para
graph:
The steel workers strike against the
United States Steel Corporation is stu
unsettled. The status Of the contest
Is unchanged; the men are fighting for

Doctors Body Cremated.

DR.. Henry Buckingham Horlbeck, a
former president of the American Pub
lie Health Association and for twenty
years the health officer Of Charleston,
died the past week. In his will, which
was Immediately opened, directions
were left to have his body cremated
and the ashes inferred at Magnolia
cemetery. Mayor Pro TEN Kollock left
Charleston day or two ago for Sta
ten Isltand to deliver the body to the
crematory. DR.. Horlbeck was an au-
thority on yellow fever, and had
charge Of quarantine regulations in
this section in recent yellow fever cpl

nation is the third instance Of the
kind in the history Of South Carolina,
the first having been Henry Laurens,
the president Of the continental con-
gress, who died in 1892. the first Gre

was a confederate surgeon Of ability.
Commenting on the above The At

"Dr. Henry B. Horlbeck, for twenty
years chief healt.I officer OF Charles

will directions that his body should be
incinerated and bis wishes were COM

"Dr. Horlbeck was strong advo-
cate of cremation. He urged 1t for
sanitary reasons, and his will attests
the sincerity of his faith.
The conviction that incineration
should be substituted for burial has
undoubtedly grown greatly in the last
few years.

DEATH CLAIMS GERMAN EMPRESS
The Mother of Emperor William and
Sister of King Edward Dies
Suddenly at Cronberg.

The DOWaSer Empress rIeuellCh' ~
Germany, died at 6:15 p. m. Monday
at Cronberg. Her demise was some
what sudden. At 4 o'clock her physl-
clans reported no change in her con-
dition. Emperor William and her maj
esty's other children and the Empress
Augusta Victoria were in the SICK
room most Of the day. They were all
around the bedside when the dowager
empress passed away, quietly. The
flag on the castle was Immediately
half masted. Two hours later Emper-
or William conducted the members vi
the dogawer empress household into
the death chamber and led them, one
by one, past the bedside to take last
farewell of their mistress.
1t is said the cause of death was
dropsy accompanying the cancer. The
remarkable vitality of the dowager
empress astnished her physicians.
She retained consciousness to the end.
A premature statement that the
dowager empress was dead was given
out officially at Hamburg castle short
" after noon. Count Marshal Haupt
who gave out the inaccurate an
nouncement, has been summoned 20
Cronberg. The false news was tele-
graphed widely, and many German
cities displayed signs of mourning.
The dowager empress knew her days
were few. She said farewell to most
Of her servants. 1t is understood that
she had arranged for the future Of
nearly every one Of them. She had ex-
pressed a desire that not much should
be known by the public concerning her
disease, lest some should be saddened
by the knowledge Of her sufferings.
There was much reluctance in sum-
moning King Edward, as it was not
desired. that he should have long
wait.
Suffered Without Complaint.
The Berlin papers assert that the
dowager empress long ago adopted
her husbands motto, Learn to suffer
without complaining" She recently
ordered that the public should be cx-
Guided from. the grounds of Fried
richof, sayinSS~
"The world shall not lea2 Wnat l
am suffering; will not be pitied in my
misfortune"
The announcement Of the death OF
Dowager Empress Frederick was pub
lished too late for comment in the
evening papers, with the exception of
The Freissinnige Zeitung, which re-
calls her heroic bearing during her
husbands last days, when she silently
endured the heartless illusions of the
chauvinistic German press" This
journal also praises her "dignified self
effacement" since the death of Freder-
ick the Noble.
The News In London.
The news of the death Of the Dowa-
ger Empress -pread slowly in London.
The Associa.~I Press gave Bucking-
ham palace, Marlborough house and
the Mansion house the first informa-
ton that her majesty was passing
away, as all members of the royal
family and many of the officials were
out of town for the holidays.
President Mckinley Informed.
A dispatch was received at the state
department at a late hour Monday
night from Ambassador White an
nouncing the death of the dowager en-
press of Germany. The dispatch was
sent to the president at Canton.
