BAKERS STRIKE A FlASco.
"emoers of the Charleston Union
NOW Begging to BE Reinstated in
Their Old Places.

OAA AACGHs
charleston, S. c., Aug. s.-The strike
OF the bakers of Charleston has proved
veritable fiasco. The makers of the
city bread are to-day knocking at the
doors of bakeries from Line street to
the Battery and asking to be reinstated
10 work upon pretty much any terms
that are satisfactory to their former
bosses.
Three weeks ago the Bakers Union
OF the city formulated some very mar
Vicious demands and when they were
not granted it proceeded forthwith to
go upon a strike. 1t was advised
against this course by the Federation
of Trades of the city and it did not re-
ceive the countenance of the national
organization, despite the fact that its
secretary frequently claimed that il
had done so.
When the secretary was finally forced
TO make public the correspondence be-
tween himself and the national organ
lzation to-day, 1t was discovered that
ne had been misleading the local union
ana there was rush Immediately on
the part of its members to get back to
the ovens as quickly as possible.
Many OF the bakers of the city had
sent elsewhere for men and it is prob
able that number of the strikers will
never regain their positions. The boss
bakers never had any animosity
against the union. however, for It's ac-
ton, and they have declared that such
of their old employees as they can find
work for will be given Jobs as soon
as possible.

AN EDITOR UNDER ARREST.
w. @. Ivey of Sumter Wanted by the
Authorities at EIberton.

Authorities at Elberton.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. S.-Sheriff Nc
Intosh of Elberton, Ca, arrested Mr..
w. G. Levy, editor of the Freeman of
Sumter, on a warrant charging him
with selling liquor In violation of the
law in the town of Elberton in 1899.
The time the alleged violation of the
law was committed Mr.. Ivey was Iiv-
ing in Elberton and publishing a paper.
He fell under suspicion, and sufficient
evidence was secured to make out
three cases against him. Before the
grand jury convened Mr.. Ivey had left
Elberton, and since that time his
whereabouts has been unknown to the
Georgia officials. When the grand jury
assembled the indictments above men
toned were taken up, but only one was
acted upon, and in this instance true
bill was returned. AS Ivey had re-
moved from the county, no particlar eff
fort was made to follow up and arrest
him.
Recently new prosecuting attorney
took charge of the office, and he at
once began to push all the old cases
that were hanging fire in the office. AS
soon as the whereabouts of Ivey could
be ascertained, Sheriff Mcintosh was
instructed to arrest him at once. Hence
his visit to Sumter last evening.
Sheriff Mcintosh would not accept an
ordinary bond for the appearance of
Mr.. Ivey for trial. and that only a cash
bond or its equivalent would be accept
able. He consented to accept, in lieu
of the cash, Mr.. Ivey's note for $3.50
with Circuit Judge Buchanan as an in
dorser

Columbia, s. c., Aug. s.-There were
eight hours of speaking at the big po-
litical meeting to-day in Union. Meth
err Tillman nor McLaurin were pres
ent. Tillman speaks tomorrow. For
mer Congressman John j. Hemphill,
State Senator d. S. Henderson, Cot

gresham j. T. Johnston, Robert AL

was no time limit.
Mr.. Cleveland was the only one rep
resenting McLaurin's ideas. His main
argument was for expansion contend
ing that it was an American idea and
utterly differing from Imperialism.
The other speeches, with the excep-
ton of Latimer's, were along the old
time Democratic lines. Most of them
were read from manuscript Latimer
Jumped heavily on McLaurin's record

years making a personal attack that

got the applause.
Tomorrow there may be tilt be-

The latter Is "agin' McLaurin, for
he also has a knife up his sleeve for

HAvANA's NEW WAY OF GAMBLING.
Unwilling Helper in Lottery
scheme.
From the New York Sun.

Scheme.
From the New York Sun.
The passion for gambling in the lot
teries which exists among all Latins
prevails among the Cubans. Under the
old Spanish regime every one, rich and
poor alike. patronized the lottery,
which had the governments sanction,
and thousands upon thousands of the
working classes we're kept in continual
want In consequence of the vice. When
the Americans came of course the lot
teries were knocked out by military or
der and for time there was much sor-
row among those whose principal
pleasure in life was dreaming of win
ming a capital prize. Then a new form
of gambling was devised.
Ever since Col. Bliss took hold of
the Havana Custom House he has
made it a practice to print daily the
receipts from imports. 1t was one of
his ways of showing the Cubans how
to check corruption He took the pub
lie into his confidence, so that they
might know exactly how much money
the principal port on the island was
raising for the governments ex-
penses.
The newspapers got into the habit
Of printing the figures daily and
great many people read them as an
index to the commercial growth of the
island. BY and by 1t was noticed that
the receipts were being printed in
quite large type by the little afternoon
sheets, which never have any news in
them and very rarely an idea. II was
also noticed that a lot of persons
bought these papers, turned to the
page on which were printed the Gus
toms receipts and then with ejacula-
tions of sorrow or joy cast the paper
aside.
An investigation showed that the re-
ceipts were being used for lottery pur-
poses. 1t was found that tickets were
being sold all over the city, and that
the newspapers were adding largely to
their circulation by catering to the
craze. Col. Bliss reputation for hon
esty in Havana is such that every one
is sure that there can be no tamper-
ing with the daily totals. and so after
all the Havanese have a lottery with
government drawings daily.
The government has been very anx-
lou to find out who Is back of the in
genious scheme which makes It an
accomplish in the crime in spite of
itself. but II has as yet been unable to
do so. Some OF the more reputable pa
pers of the city have printed long sto-
ries about the scheme, explaining its
workings and demanding that steps be
taken TO stop the evil but so far moth
ing has been accomplished. The daily
totals from the Custom House are still
being printed and the little sheets call
ed by courtesy newspapers are stin
selling for five cents a copy and the
gamblers behind the scheme are still
coming money, while the poor of Ha-
vana are losing their pesetas with
great regularity.

The DiHerence.

From the Kansas City Journal.
If rhinocerous should come gallum-
phining down Kansas road, tearing up
trees with his snout and going "woof,
woof!" every time he saw anybody,
guess it would surprise people,
wouldn't it? Well, that Kingman
man, writing for the Leader Courier
from Africa, ought to remember that
familiarity breeds contempt before
making so much fun of the Africans
who saw a hailstorm for the first time
recently and got scared to death over
it. If Kansas had never had a hail
storm she would be worse scared by
her first one than by a loose rhinocer-
Gus. Now, in Africa. they yoke up rhi-
noceroses, call them Buck" and
Blue" and say gee and "haw'' to
them.

CHINESE DEATH SENTENCES.
Chinese Account of How They
Were Received and Executed.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Chinese paper published in Pekin
has obtained the following details rel
alive to the deaths of the high off,
cials Chauchuchiau, Yung-nien, and
Prince chwang, who committed suicide
on command of the Emperor. 1t Is i'm
possible to give the full report. as the
details of the actual suicides are CIV
en- with true Chinese barbarity and
unadorned lucidity. The whole account,
however. bears the stamp of truth, and
the statement of the Chinese Court
that the three officials had paid the
penalty for their crimes. hitherto I'M
proved, may hereby be considered as
confirmed. The report runs:
Chauchuchiau ate gold leaf which is
the distinguished method of taking
ones life among well-to-do Chinese.
Death Is caused not by poisoning. as
is generally assumed. but by asphyxia,
as the thin gold leaves stick In the
air passages. Hoping against hope.
however, that the Empress would have
mercy on him, he took too little, and
as he still lived when the time pre-
scribed had elapsed, he took opium and
other means to effectuate his death
His religion forbade him to do this by
inturing his body in any way.
Prince Chwang, who received the
news OF MS sentence IN Hu-cnOu-fu, a
large town in the southwest of Shan
ST. Immediately hanged himself in a
temple of the local mandarin, with
whom he was living. in the presence OF
the Imperial Commissioner, Ko-pau-
kwa. He used the white silk cord sent
him by the Emperor as a significant
sign of the mitigated punishment.
Yung- MEN. the President of the
Court OF Censors, was the most cow
ardly. He was in prison in Si-ngan-fu.
and continually upbraided Prince
Ching "for leaving him in. the lurch.r
He suffocated himself with earth be-
fore the Imperial Decree. so his death
was kept hidden some days till the de-
cree was published. Prince Tuan an
ticipated his Punishment. and on re-
ceiving the sentence at Ningusia, a
town on the frontier wither he had
fed. proceeded at once to Turkestan
lest the allies might still demand his
death.

Director Averil1 Trying to Get Them
for the Exposition.
Columbia, S. c.. Aug. S.-Through Di-
rector General Averill the Charleston
Exposition Company has asked the d.
rectors of the dispensary for certain
concessions. The board intimated that
it would sanction the establishment of
six or eight dispensaries on the grounds
of the exposition to sell beer and light
wines.
Mr.. Averill asked If a beer dispensary
could be operated in connection with
the restaurant and was told that such
a proceeding would not conform to the
letter of the law. However, a beer dis
penser could have his booth adjoining
that of a restauranteur and parties
could give their orders for beer to the
cafe waiter. In the opinion of the
board the walters would be servants
of the guests, not servants of the res
taurant keeper"
The board asked that the matter be
presented through the county board of
Charleston, and assured Mr.. Averill of
their anxiety to make the exposition a
success. So there is no danger of Wis
itors suffering from thirst, however
tight the tigers may be closed.

JUDGES SALARY BILL.
The Measure Passes Third Reading
in the Senate.

Special from stah Correspondent
Harrisburg, March 6-The judges
salary bill passed third reading in the
senate this morning by vote of 80 to
8. There was some opposition to the
bill by senators who are opposed to
increasing expenses, ON general prin-
ciples, but Senator Vaughan succeeded
in inducing all except three of them to
refrain from voting.
The action of Senators Heidelbach
and Stober in voting against the bill,
after it was amended to meet the
wishes of the Lancaster people, was
somewhat Of a surprise. The original
bill provided that the salary of an
Orphans court judge should remain at
$4,000. Lancaster county objected to
this, and an amendment was reluct-
antly permitted by Senator Vaughan
making all the salaries alike. The
final provision of the bill relating TO
counties of more than 10000 popula-
tlon having but one Judge, was also
added to the original bill. The bill as
passed reads as follows;
AN ACT Regulating the salaries of the judges Of
the courts Of the several judicial districts Of
the commonwealth composed Of single counties
whose population is over one hundred thousand
and less than five hundred thousand, and OF all
judicial districts having q population exceed.
ing ninety thousand and having but one Judge
