Beaufort said to BE Coming Here.


Beaufort Said to BE Coming Here.
Beaufort, S. c.. May 16.-Further de-
velopments regagang the recent white
cap raid organized here to drive two
white government employees at the Port
Royal naval station out of this section
have leaked out. The two men have been
living with two notorious negro women in
open defiance of public opinion, and it
now appears that when the masked citi-
zens repaired to the house occupied by
the Objectionable persons they found the
premises deserted, whereupon they pro-
cured a boat and proceeded to Paris ISL
and, wehre they located their men in a
negro dive near the government reserva-
ton. Their demands for an entrance were
answered by the properties of the Joint,
who refused to admit them, but acknowl-
edged that both men were within. The
citizens did not attempt to force an en-
trance, but informed the men that they
were determined to rid the community of
their presence, and gave them until the
following day to get out or suffer the
consequences.
One of them replied that they would
leave on the following morning, and the
mob. after emphasizing their demands by
several volleys from their pistols fired
into the air. retired. The next morning
the men rendered their designations to
the commandant of the naval station and
left on the first train. The whereabouts
of the women is not known, but it is
rumored that they went 10 Savannah,
Ga, where the two men will reJoin them.

CONGER ON EXPANSION.
Regrets That ship Subsidy Bill Did
Not Become "A Law.

New York, May 16.-Edwin II. Conger,
minister 10 China, was the guest of honor
tonight at the third annual banquet of
the American Asiatic Association given
at Delmonicos.
Minister Conger spoke of the progress
made in the commercialism of this coun-
try in the Orient Recent developments
in the Philippines, he said, had given cour-
age to the merchant and the missionary
alike, both looking for increasing results,
especially in the empire of China.
1T is to be regretted" said the speak
er. that some sort of measure in aid of
American shipping did not pass the last
Congress. In my judgment this is not
a political but patriotic measure, and
is demanded in order to fairly meet the
competition of shipping, subsidized by otn-
er governments. This is being done all
over the world, and unless our people
take advantage of the conditions created
by the expansion policy of the last three
years, they will soon be pre-empted by
foreign companies and lost to us forever"

A WALL STREET STORY

From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
The regular Wall street representatives
of the several newspapers were hard
pressed last week, and appeals for assist
ance were made to the city editors.
Among the men sent down from a certain
office was bright chap whose career in
journalism was but few weeks old. He
had never been in Wall street and, like
jim Hill, was never inside of a Stock Ex-
change; but he thought he could do de-
scriptive work. "All right" said the tinan-
ciai editor, in despair, you just go down
to the exchange and watch the row. Pick
up all the points you can and report to
the city editor" 1t was Thursday morn
ing. At half past he was reporting to
the city editor II didn't think it neces-
sary TO remain in the exchange after the
chairman signalled the close, he said.
Besides, when 1 left the floor the ex-
citment was about over THE foor!

The financial ediotr dropped in as the
city editor sat motionless, staring into
vacancy. ION the floor! Down among
the brokersr Looking at the new re-
porter he asked what was the matter, and
at the sound of his voice his chief, return
ing from Mars, said: This man tells me
