McSK eeney's Popular Act.

The last letter which Governor McSweeney
addressed to Senator Tillman has pleased ev.
erybody. One man said that he wanted to
take McSweeney by the hand. Another ask.

the greatest man in South Csrolina7 Wait

tion, he said: "McSweeney. He Is the big

The fact is, that we do not recolect oil an In

much genuine pleasure as that OF Governor
McSweeney in reply to Tillman's letter.

Insult.

Governor McSweeney seems to have offered
Senator Tillman mortal insult when he de-
cared that he alone was responsible for his
reply, and that he would give account for the
course he had taken TO the people who had
honored him. and not to any individual.
The idea that the Governor would account
to the people and not TO the senior Senator Is
a mortal otense. The idea that the Governor
should not recognize the authority of the
senior Senator in Tillman's Land Is mon
strous. Whittier are we drifting, anyhow

CREEK INDIANS PROTEST.
But Their Lands VIII BE Allotted Ac-
cording to Treaty.

Washington, Aug. ia delegation
of full-blood Creek Indians, headed by
Chief John, called on the acting sec
rotary of the interior to protest
against any division of their lands
and against any change in the condi-
lions imposed by the treaty of 1892.
The delegation was reminded OF the
fact that on May 90 last the Creeks,
by vote, ratified the agreement chang
ing the treaty of 1892, and providing
for a division of the lands of the
Creek nation among the individual
members of the tribe.
Chief John was told that it was
obligatory in the department to exc
cute the laws, and that the agreement
entered into between the United
States and the Creek nation must be
enforced, and that the department is
powerless to comply with the request
of the delegation.
The Creeks have been inclined to re-
pudiate this agreement. When the
delegation was leaving the depart
ment Chief John remarked that the
Indians want 10 do what is right, but
they want their rights under the
treaty of 1892. The acting secretary
stated that the rights are defined in
the laws of the United States and
agreements made by the Creek nation
with the United States, and that the
Indians are expected to live up to
them.

PHILLIPS COMPANY FAILS
Commission House in the Hands of
a Receiver.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-On the petition
of three creditors of the George ii.
Phillips company petition in bank
rupcy has been filed for the company
in the United States district court.
George II. Phillips and two other di-
rectors of the company filed their
consent that the petition be allowed,
and the Chicago Title and Trust CON-
pany has been appointed temporary
receiver.
The filing of the petition and the
appointment of the receiver will en-
able the company to continue in bust
ness.
One of the directors, w. Il. Sack
EFT, will be appointed by the receiver
to manage the business and the af-
fairs of the company will proceed
under the new management.
BY Mr.. Phillips own statement the
company is insolvent. The liabilities
he places at about 100000, with as
sets at known and face value amount
ing to S225,000 or $250,000 Of this he
believes 100000 is in worthless ac-
counts, so that the company will fall
short approximately of 100000 in
the settlement.
This, Mr.. Phillips declares, he will
make up to his creditors to the last
cent. He says that he has lost or
given up all of his money and real
estate, but that, accepting the offers
of financial assistance, he will resume
business individually. Voluntarily,
he proposes to give for the benefit
of the creditors every dollar of profit
he makes in his transactions over
and above $500 year, which he
will keep for himself and family.

a former lieutenant of the British
navy, editor of the Globe, and w. T..
Madge, manager of that paper, at
tended the bar in the custody of the
sergeant-at-arms in accordance with
the summons of the house for gross
breach of the privileges of the house
in accusing the nationalist members
of corruption in connection with pri-
vate bill legislation. After the speak
er, VIM. Court-Gully, notified them of
the cause of the summons, both Mr..
Armstrong and Mr.. Madge expressed
regret at the appearance of the ar
ticle and apologized to the house. The
speaker tEsn ordered the delinquents
to withdraw, while the house consid-
cred the matter. Both of them backed
out, bowling low at each step, amid
the derisive cheers of the national
lists.
After a protest from John Red
mond, the nationalist leader, against
the inadequacy of the apology, the
offenders were recalled and asked if
they were prepared to withdraw the
allegations. They did, in somewhat
nervous tones. The speaker then Sc
verely reprimanded the two newspa-

MOTHER FINDS DAUGHTER.
Was Grief Stricken over the Arrest OF
Her Sweetheart.


Fort Dodge, Aug. 19.-Eva Judd. the
beautiful and talented step-daugh-
ter of William Ralph, ex-mayor of La
porte, and prominent citizen whose
recent disappearance had been eN-
planned by the suicide theory, has
been found by her mother, Mrs.
Ralph, working as chambermaid in
the Union hotel at Fort Dodge, and "A
joyful union ensued. Shame and grief
over the arrest of her lover for coun-
terfeiting caused her to leave home
of luxury and refinement.
Eva is the only child of Mrs. Ralph.
Not long ago while visiting at the
home of an aunt in What Cheer she
met and became attached to young
man prominent in society there, who
was recently arrested charged with
counterfeiting. The superstition is
that this preyed on her mind until she
determined on escape from home. On
Monday she induced a neighbor to
drive her to Waterloo, where she took
the first train and went to Iowa Falls,
coming later to Fort Dodge, where
she secured employment in hStel. In
the fear that the girl had committed
suicide the river near her HOME was
dragged. but at length her father got
on her trail and followed her to Fort
Dodge, where he searched in VAN. He
returned to Laporte and the girls
mother came here. Just after she
left the train she passed the h"te:
where the girl was employed and met
her daughter coming out.

French wheat Crop Short.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE French wheat
situation is very different now from
what it was several weeks ago, when
were issued the official estimates from
this chamber" said E. NJ. Green, secre-
tary Of the American chamber of COM
merce in Paris, this morning to the
correspondent of the Daily News.
Since then continuous rains have hurt
the crop more than did the preceding
cool weather. In short, in France the
agricultural districts have had every
kind Of weather except sun, and sun
shine was what was particularly need
ed. 1t is impossible to approximate
definite figures regarding the crop I'M
til the thrashing operations which are
now going on throughout the country
are finished, but am ready to say that
my estimate of 304,0O0,000 bushels is
far from the over-short mark.

IOWA STATE FAIR.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE state
fair, which opens on the 23rd, and
continues to the close of this month,
promises to be the very best ever
held in the state of Iowa.
The entries already indicate that
the fair will be in show condition ear
lier than common, and as one of the
best days programs has been ar
ranged for Monday, the Goth, the
probabilities are that the big day"
will come off very early in the last
week of the fair, and as Monday is
Des Moines day, and many excursi"a
trains will enter the city that day
over various roads, and as the very
best fireworks program ever pre-
scented will be on Monday night. it is
possible that Monday will be the big
day of the fair. In addition to this
being Des Moines day. all children
under fifteen years will be admitted
on Monday free. This should be an
inducement to parents, not only in
Des Moines. but in the state at ld~ge.
to attend the fair early and get the
benefit of the free admissions.
There will be the finest display of
stock seen in recent years and there
will be acres of machinery and ex-
hibits in all lines, with the possible
exception of the agricultural and hur-
ticultural departments, will be full to
overlooking.
Special attention has been given
TO the free amusements and there IS
variety and quality to please all.
Public comfort has been provided
for, the best camp grounds of
any fair organization in the United
States being offered free. Catalogues
and bulletins free by addressing the

NEWS IN GENERAL
HEAVY FIGnTING AT PANAMA.
Fighting Took Place Oh the Outskirts of
Panama and Colon.

Panama ana colon.
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 16.-The
British steamer Darien, has arrived
here from Colon and brings reports
of heavy lighting Monday on the
outskirts of Panama end Colon. The
rebels were steadily advancing on the
towns proper. A large number of
men had been wounded.
A large number of wounded men
belonging to the government troops
were taken to Colon Monday. This is
regarded as an inG.cation of the per-
sistency of the rebel attacks.
The converted cruiser Namouna
has been found to be practically use
less owing to the bungling attempts
to mount heavy guns on board her.
The Columbian government is now
negotiating for the purchase of the
steamer Bernard Hall of the West
India and Pacific Steamship COM
pany (limited) of Liverpool.
The Darien brought forty passen-
gers who were obliged to leave Colon
in order to escape and avoid conscrip-
ton. The British consul at Colon
has entered protest against Jamai-
cans being compelled by the Column
bian government to fight against the
rebels.
The passengers of the Darien say
the chances Ior the liberals success
seems better than ever since the COM
mencement of the revolution.
Guards are still kept on board the
trains running between Panama and
Colon.
Both sides are committing atroci-
ties. In the attack made on the gov
eminent troops Sunday few miles
out of Colon the rebels defeated the
government force and one of the lat

STORM WORST OF HISTORY.
Great Destruction In the Vicinity OF
Mobile, Ala.

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 1.-THE tropical
Storm, which came up Wednesday
and increased in force during the day
following, is believed TO have been
the seyerest in history in the vicin-
ity of Mobile. The wind blew at the
rate of 20 miles an hour for some
time. Various reports of the drown
ing of men in the bay have reached
here, but it is impossible to confirm
them, owing to the complete demoli-
ton of ,all means of communication.
The pleasure yacht, Ariel, bound
for Fish river with a party of Mobile
people on board, is believed to have
pounded to pieces on the wharf at
Battles on the eastern shore of the
bay. Nothing has been heard of the
crew.
The pleasure yacht Mayflower of
this city with party of prominent
people on board reported lost has
been heard from. All on board found
refuge on Cat island, but the boat
was wrecked.
Nothing has been heard from Fort
Morgan. Two companies of the coast
artillery are stationed there. The
barracks undoubtedly received the
full force of the blow.
No communication can be had with
any of the islands on Mississippi
sound, just outside the bay, forty
miles below here. All news concern
ing the fate of the islanders must
come by boats and this is anxiously
awaited.
The fruit steamer Herald from
Peurto Cortez has arrived. She re-
ports seeing two-masted schooner
sixty-five miles southwest OF this
port totally dismantled. The cap
tain of the schooner denied assist
ance. Logging camps and mill manu-
facturers have suffered considerable
loss by the breaking of booms. Saw
logs and squared timbers drifted in
Mobile all day, much of it coming up
on Royal street, three blocks from
the water front. Two saw mills at
Magazine point were badly damaged,
parts of the plants being blown
away. No estimate of the damage
in Mobile is possible at this time.
