ENsLATEMENT OF NEGROES
Found to Have Been Conducted in
Anderson County, 8. G.

Columbia, S. c., March 1.-The grand
jury of Anderson county to-day made
it's report to Judge w. c. Benet, and
declared that practical enslavement
of negroes has been conducted in that
county The presentment was prepared
by a special committee which visited
the convict stockade camps in Ander-
son county and found confined therein
negroes guiltless of any felony, but un-
dergoing term of servitude under vol
untary contracts which they had signed
in partial ignorance.
The charge Of false imprisonment was
made against J. S. Fowler, P. B. Allen
and w. @. Hammond, three of the larg-
est planters and most influential men
in Anderson county. The grand jury
declared that these men, who employ
convicts from the state, were also keep
ing confined in their stockades negroes
who for some petty cause had been sent
there for breach of contract although
convicted before no offense of the law.
The presentment will put an end to this
practice, which is conducted In no other
county in the state. 1t has been known
in Anderson county for long time that
such system was being carried on, and
the people Of that county are glad that
1t has been done away with.
Judge Benet declared that the pre-
sentiment brought 'pitiful details. 1t
told of Illegal arrests and imprison-
ment, of cruel whipping, of prolonged
imprisonment without even the farce of
trial, of kidnapping negroes from
other counties and even from Georgia,
of fear to give testimony, refusal to
testify, and Of poor negroes processing
to be satisfied and contented. In con-
cluding, he said that Anderson county
would thank the grand jury for hav-
ing relieved her of this shameful bur-
den and saved her good name that
stigma that few of her misguided
citizens placed upon her.

Lord Roberts Declares Mon In the Field
Remarkably Well Behaved.
London, March lord Roberts, pre-
siding, to-day, at a meeting of the
Army Temperance society, contrasted
the moderation of the British soldiers
in South Africa with previous cam
paigns. He said 1t was true they had
not had many opportunities to drink
but at Bloemfontein Johannesburg and
Pretoria, where they did have such OPP
portunity, they were remarkably well
behaved and he had never heard a sin
gle complaint of soldier being rude
or improperly behaved towards Boer
women. The latter and their children
fearlessly went upon the streets and the
children constantly played and talked
with the British soldiers.

HAW N-CHINESE SPEAKER
CHOSEN BY HOUSE OF THE LEGIS-
LATURE OF HAWAII.

White Man Made President of the
Senate-Some Remarkable Scenes
Home RuIe Party In Full Control
Representative of Pres. Mckinley Un-
ceremoniously Elected from the House.
Honolulu, March l, via San Francis
co, March THE first territorial legis-
lature Of Hawaii began its sessions in
Honolulu February 20, and has been in
session since. Mr.. Jackina, indepen-
dent a Hawaiian Chinese member from
the island of Kaiua, was elected speak
er of the house, and DR.. Nicholas Rus
sell of Hawaii, white man, was chos-
en- president of the senate.
On the third day, Secretary of the
Territory Cooper, was unceremoniousiy
ordered out of the house, and escorted
out by the sergeantat-a -arms. Acting
under the section of the territorial act
which provides that he shall record
and preserve the laws and proceedings
of the Legislature" Secretary Cooper
took a place on the floor of the house
with q stenographer, to secure a record
of the proceedings. Representative
Beckley independent, offered a resolu-
tion requiring him to leave. The resolu-
tion set forth that his presence on the
floor was violation Of the rule that
the three departments of government
executive, judicial and legislative
must be kept separate and it was urged
in debate that Governor Dole had put
Cooper where he was with q view of
intimidating members by letter them
see that the executive officer was taxi
ing stenographic report of the pro-
ceedings.
Cooper was declared by republicans
to be present as a representative of
President Mckinley as he had been or
dered to transmit a report to Washing
ton, but even this plea did not deter the
independents. After a long debate they
passed the Beckley resolution by a vote
of 20 to 9, the nine being all the repub-
licans in the house. 1t is understood
Cooper has asked Washington for a
ruling as to the meaning of the instruc-
tions given him to send record.
With both houses in control of the
Independent home rule party and con-
tanning a majority Of native Hawaiians,
the legislature has already been the
scene of some remarkable proceedings,
and the end of the session promises to
see many very rasical measures anopt-
ed among those to which the controlling
party is committed being liquor dis
pensary law, a taxation system that
will be a combination of single tax and
income tax doctrines. an election law
based on proportionate representation,
and a law excluding from the territory
persons who may arrive hereafter, af-
f1icted with consumption or leprosy
Language is another subject of discus
sion. Half of the members of the house
cannot speak English and have had to
employ Interpreters.

London, March S.-Whatever negotia-

evidently has no idea of elackening re-
Inducements. The war office issued a
detailed statement last evening of fast

therefore, the fighting continued for
some days and further advices are
awaited with anxiety.

SUNK BECAUSE or FIRE.
Barge with 5000 Toms of Coal FOR
Consolidated Road.

Providence. r. T., March 1.-THE
barge Independence, which arrived in
port yesterday with $500 tons Of coal
for the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, caught fire to-day
while laying in mid stream in the lower
harbor, and it was necessary to scuttle
the barge to keep the flames from fas-
tening upon the cargo. The lndepend-
ence lays in about fourteen feet of
water. The fire is thought by Captain
e. IT. Nordblom to have originated from
the gnaWing of matches by rats and
was confined to the forward part OF the
craft. The damage will be about $4,000
and with the salvage will amount to
about $4,000. The Independence Is the
next largest barge on the coast and is
owned by Lewis Luckenbach, of New

ly Believed That the Crisis, tf Amy
EXISTED, Has Passed.
Havana, March THE Cuban consti-
tutional convention met in secret ses-
sion at o'clock this afternoon for a
formal discussion of the Platt amend
ment to the army bill, regarding the re-
lations Of the United States and Cuba.
The conservative element scored VIC
sessions of the convention and to refer
the amendment to the special commit
tee on relations with instructions to
bring in report
Twenty-nine delegates were present,
Senior Llorente and General Rivera be-
ing the only absentees. General San
gully favored dissolving the convention
and returning the agreemet without
discussion The other delegates were
unanimously in favor of continuing the
sessions and of sending some answer to
the executive department in Washing
ton The argument turned on the ques-
tion whether the convention had power
to adopt scheme of relations that
would be binding upon the future re-
public. Last week a majority of the
delegates opposed this view. To- day
Senior Nunez, representing the conser-
vatives, argued that the delegates We're
empowered in the call for the conven-
tion to establish permanent relations
with the United States and ought not
to attempt to shirk their duty.
General Sanguilly contended that the
intention in the original call was an
nulled by Governor General Woods in
structions at the opening of the con-
vention when delegates We're asked to
give only an opinion.
The radical element did not flock to
General Sanguilly as had been expected;
and the conventions action in referring
the question to the special committee
on relations indicates a Willingness to
recede from the former attitude 1t is
evident that many of the delegates still
hope the amendment will be changed,
but there is no bitter feeling now ap-
parent. 1t Is doubtful whether the con-
vention will ever agree to accept the
amendment, but the conservatives
maintain that the Willingness of the
radicals to discuss and, il necessary, to
send a committee to Washington gives
more hopeful aspect to conditions
which were growing strained.
1t is generally believed that the crisis,
If any existed, has passed, and that by
the time the committee reports the pres
ent excitement will have died out Much
depends upon the attitude of the radi-
cal delegates. If an impassioned ap-
peal TO the people is issued, as it is ru-
mored will be the case. this may cause
demonstrations of protest against the
United States. But nothing in the ma
ture of an uprising is any longer feared.

session MI Morgan of Alabama con-
cluded his speech in support of his res
olution declaring the abrogation of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. His
peroration was really pathetic. He had
devoted the best years of his official
life, he said, to advance the construc-
tion of the Nicaraguan canal, but now
he did not expect to live to see the
work upon the great waterway begun.
