Will ForestalI Sca1pers.

In order to give protection to the
railroad companies, which have re-
sponded so literally to the call from
the exposition company. the city coun-
ell of Charleston is preparing the
draft of an ordinance which will pre-
vent indiscriminate ticket scalping
during the progress of the show. AL
ready many scalpers are preparing to
move in as soon as the exposition is
fully started, and the indications point
to a big number of these spectators.
A month ago an ordinance was passed
to prevent the scalpers from work
ing" the streets, and there is also
law to prohibit "barkers" from oper'
ating in front of the establishments.
The license now Is only 5000, but this
amount will be raised to two or three
times that figure, and the authorities
will use every endeavor to keep the
agents away. The brokers who arc
recognized by the Ticket Brokers' AS
sociation seem inclined to assist the
authorities in keeping the unscrupN-
lous dealers from doing business in
the city and the law to be adopted
will give better protection to the rail-
roads and will save the public from
any annoyance which might be caus-
ed from dealings with the shapers who
make a business of following exposi-
tionS.

COLOMBIAN LEGATION QUITS.
Latest Developments Indicate That
Venezuelans and Their Neigh
bors Will Measure Prowess.
According to q special from Will
lemstad, Curaco, the Colombian lega-
ton left Caracas Monday.

A Washington dispatch says: The
state department has authorized the
American charge daffaires at Caracas,
Venezuela, to use his good Offices for
Colombia, in case the Colombian min
lister at the Venezuelan capital leaves
that country. Mr.. Russell telegraphed
last week seeking instructions as to
his course Of action in case OF the
withdrawal of the Colombia minister.
which apparently was in contempla-
ton at that time. He did not, how
ever, indicate that this withdrawal
was preliminary to any rupture be-
tween the two republics, but simply
asked if he would be authorized to act
temporarily in looking after Colom-
bias interests in case Of the with
drawal of the minister. AS it is the
universal custom to act in this man
ner, when the request was made, Mr..
Russell was authorized to use his good
Offices for Colombia In case this was
agreeable to the Venezuelan govern
ment.
There have been no additional de-
velopments as to the situation on the
Isthmus of Panama, where the trouble
is far removed from that along the
Venezuelan border. Consul General
Gudger's course in looking after the
interests of the Chinese along the 18TH
mus Is not in pursuit of any specific
instructions from Washington. but fol-
lows procedure established some
twelve years ago, in connection with
points at which the Chinese were en-
tirely without official representation.
The navy department has now de-
fnitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa, instead Of the Wis
consin, for service on the Pacific side
of this isthmus, in case affairs become
serious there.

''FEW SLAVES WORK"
Shaffer's Statement at Close Of
First Days Bitter Struggle.
TRUST CLAIMS SLIGHT VICTORY
At Some Points Strike Order Was
Not obeyed-Number Of Men
Out So Far Is About
Sixty Thousand.

A Pittsburg special says: The
struggle for mastery between manu-
facturers and men in the steel indus
try is now fairly launched.
The first day of the contest showed
slight advantage for the manufactur-
ers. President Shaffer's general strike
order was not obeyed at all points, the
union men at Chicago, Joliet and Bay
View refusing to 60 out. There are
about $4,000 men OUT all told. The
strike leaders, however, claim that
they have some surprise in store for
the trust. At McKeesport Mayor
Black was called on to prevent strlk-
ers interfering with non-union work
men, but he said he would act only in
case of actual assault.
The strike leaders have issued an
appeal to organized labor for financial
assistance, stating that the life Of un-
ionism is at stake.
The general strike order issued by
President Shaffer, of the Amalgama-
, ted association, has so far been obeyed
by only about $4,000 men, according
to the best figures obtainable. The
first two preliminary calls were an.
swered by about $4,000 men, so that
the total number now out is in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

SHOT HIS WIFE AND LOVER.
Bloody Work of Jealous Husband on
Streets of Baltimore.


At Baltimore Monday morning a
jealous husband surprised his wife and
the man he suspected together on the
street and killed them without warn
ing.
Joseph I. Adams, the husband, has
long suspected his wife of intimacy
witl Charles Houck, the other victim,
and Monday morning shadowed them
through Druid Hill park. He overlook
them on the bridge leading into the
park at Cedar avenue, and creeping
up behind them, began to shoot. Two
shots struck Houck, who fell dead.
Turning his pistol upon the terrified
woman, Adams fired three times, each
shot taking effect. She fell dead across
Houck's body and Adams ran. An
hour later he gave himself up to a
policeman in a distant part Of the
city, to whom he told the story of his
crime, for which he expressed moth
ing but qualification.

CharIeston's New Depot.

The plans recently drawn for the
union passenger station by Architect
Milburn, of the Southern railway, have
been examined by the representatives
of the Southern railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Plant system, and
as soon as a few minor changes are
made the roads will announce their
readiness to go forward with the work
at Charleston.
The station will cost about 5000, 900,
and will be located on the site now
occupied as joint depot by the Allan
tic Coast Line and the Plant system.
The idea is to have construction begun
as early as possible, so that the new
station will be ready for business by
the time the exposition Is in full blast.

REDUCE DUTIES OR ANNEX.

Havana Tobacco Buyers Want Uncle
Sam to Lower Rates on the Weed.
The union of tobacco buyers of Ha-
vana was recently asked by the mer-
chants union to give an opinion as to
the duties levied in the United States
upon Cuban tobacco. The reply was
to the effect that the duty on cigars,
wrappers and filings should be decid-
edly reduced.
A long preamble asserts that Cuba,
if she does not obtain concessions to
which she has a perfect right, in view
of the fact that she is under the eco
nomic protection of the United States,
should ask for annexation.

Discussing crematory Question.

The desire of DR.. Henry B. Horl-
beck, late health officer of Charleston,
to have his remains cremated for bu-
rial, has suggested to business people
of Charleston the advisability OF hav-
ing a crematory established. 1t has
been pointed out that the rapid change
in the sentiment hereabout is such
that cremation would be more desira-
BILE than burial, and that with the op-
Grafton of crematory the number Of
bodies to be disposed of in this way
would be very large. Health people
realize the importance of such a pro-
ject and it was stated few days ago
that plans for such an establishment
would be brought prominently before
the business community.

Proposed New Electric Line.

FTOPOSCO NS" 6ICSettS 1thSs
The proposed electric line from
Edgefield to Augusta, Ca, is the cause
of much talk in both cities now. Edge
field is especially anxious for the line
and has gone so far as to have sew
eral call meetings and committee OF
five has been appointed by them to
investigate to the best of their abill-
ties how anxious the people along the
line and in each city are and what
they will give toward its erection. A
line is now being built from Augusta
to Aiken, II miles, and President Jack
son, of the Augusta-Aiken line, says if
the Edgefield people will offer the
right inducements that they will ex-
tend their line from Aiken on to Edge
field. Should the Augusta-Aiken line
be extended 1t would pass through
Langley, Bath, Aiken and several
smaller towns, and the country cross
ed is very thickly populated and would
make the travel very large.
