A DUAL LEGISLATURE.
Exciting Scenes i'm Columbia the
Wallace House and tho
Mackey House.

The death of Gen. Wallace re-
calls vividly to the minds Of not
few the exciting scenes enacted
while South Carolina was in the
hands of a dual government.
John s. Werner, master Of Rich
mond county, was a mombsr Of
the Wallace house, representing
Oconee county. He pays nigh
tribute to the character Of Judge
Wallace. That gentleman, he
says, was one of the most even
tempered men this State pro-
duced in the closing years Of the
- last century. In all the excite
1t, when tragedy brooded over
iaW=making assemblies, Con.
, Wallace was cool, determined
and in full possession OF the
situation. Referring to the in
cidents of that time, Mr.. Werner
gave running statement "a to

ECZEMA IS
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptiors form
tnd discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and 6ssured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hnmor seems to oose out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

A HOT RECEPTION.
Citizens of an Illinois Town Prepared
10 Give One TO Imported LabOrers-
The Latter Turned Back.

Chicago, July 26.--General Manager
Aetzen of the Latrobe steel and coup
Ter works at Melrose Park, gave out
statement last evening, declaring
that the company has abandoned the
effort to bring colored laborers to
Melrose Park and that they will be
sent back to their homes in Alab abama.
All day the 300 colored men sat in
their cars at La Grange, 2S miles from
Chicago in fear. A committee of five
citizens of Melrose Park called on
them during the morning and urged
the men to return to their homes in
Alabama. They informed the ne
groes of the actual state of affairs in
Melrose Park, where 300 armed men
were awaiting the arrival of the train
determined that they should not be
allowed to alight in the village. Their
statements alarmed the imported
men and finally five of them made
their way into Chicago, where they
sought an interview with Chief ofsPo-
lice O'Neil, asking protection, which
he could not give, as the trouble was
not within the city limits.
After the five men had left the train
to come to Chicago, the fears of those
left on the train increased greatly,
and it was with difficulty that the
trainmen managed to keep them from
running away in panic. Nearly all
of the colored men declared that they
would not go to Melrose Park and
that if taken there on the train, they
would refuse to get off. At o'clock
Marshal Rau, of the town of La
Grange, ordered the train bearing the
colored men to move out of the vii
lage. 1t did so and was placed on
a siding two miles north of La
Grange.
In the meantime the attorneys for
the steel company called upon Sheriff
Magerstadt and asked that the COM
pany be given ample protection
against the mob violence which was
threatened. They stated positively
that the laborers would be landed in
the shops of the company late in the
afternoon, whether the sheriff fur
nshed any aid or not.
81 have just received telegram
from Adit. Gen. Reece offering me the
aid of the state militia if / need it,"
said Sheriff Magerstadt, after his con-
ference with the attorneys, "but / will
not need it. i have sent half dozen
men to Melrose Park to make report
to me on the conditions there. If
they say that 300 armed men are pa
trolling the streets, as the officials OF
the company inform me, | will swear
in a number of deputies and will pre-.
serve the peace at all hazards. How.
ever, l am not going to call upon the
militia, as the company is capable OF
preserving the peace whatever hap
pens"
Out at Melrose Park the armed citi.
zens remained on watch until assured
the negroes were not coming, whes
they dispersed.

THE BIG LAND LOTTERY.
a Cabinet officer Says II Is a Good
Thing for Poor Men and Prevents
the Rich from Grabbing.

Washington, July 24.-Secretary
Hitchcock said yesterday with refer
ence to the effort to prevent the
opening of the Oklahoma Indian
lands to settlement by injunction
proceedings at Ell Reno, that the
preparations of the department for
the opening would proceed as though
no suit had been begun. ''We shall
not let the matter go by default"
he said "but we apprehend no OBJ
stacle from that proceeding. Any
one can bring suit"
The secretary took cognizance of
reports coming from Oklahoma that
the men who are registering at El
Reno and Fort Sill are doing so with
the intention of transferring their
rights to others. The report" he
said, sis to the effect that they can
and will dispose of their numbers at
enormous profits. That is absurd,
because it is impossible under the
regulations for them to transfer
their rights. For any of them to at
tempt to do so would be clear yio-
lation of the law. They take an
oath not to do such a thing and to
use their rights for their own exclu-
sive benefit. There can be no specu-
lation in these numbers"
The secretary also said that re-
ports are coming to the department
of schemes for disposing of numer-
Gus town sites, the promoters offer
ing chances to the public. "The
only town sites which have been au-
thorized," the secretary said, "are
those of the three county seats. No
others have been sanctioned and no
one knows where others will be.
Hence all except those three are
bogus and reports of their establish
ment should be denounced as intend
ing to deceive the public"
Referring to the suggestion that
the new lands should be sold at auc-
ton and the proceeds of the sale
turned over to the Indians, the secre-
tary said:
"These lands are as much govern
ment property as are any other part
of the public domain. They have
been purchased from the Indians
and title is no longer in them. Hence
the plan is not feasible. Moreover,
it would not be wise, if practicable,
for If the lands were put up at auc-
tion they all would fall into the
hands of men with money, and the
poor man would have no chance
whatever. Under the present plan
all have equal rights, regardless of
conditions of wealth, and that this
fact is recognized is made evident by
the large number taking advantage
of the opportunity for registration"
Ell Reno, o. T., July 25.-The rec
ord was again broken yesterday when
16,70S registrations were made in Ell
Reno. Total for FL Reno 120,637.
The registration at Lawton was 1,342,
making the total for that place 29,-

showers i'm the Corn EseIt.

Topeka, Kan, July 27.-General
rains throughout Kansas yesterday
caused an eifectual break in the
drouth. The rains came too late to
be of material benefit to the corn,
but will result in plenty of stock
water and giving new life to the pas
tures. The rain in Topeka lasted an
hour. Among the towns reporting
rains are Pittsburg, Lawrence, Leav-
enworth. Eureka, Usage City, Burlin-
game, Emporia, Parsons, lola and
Lyndon. These localities report pre-
cipitation from light showers up to
heavy rains. In many places rain is
still falling and indications are for
heavier downfall.

FLAM E-SWEPT.
Davenport. In., Is Visited by a $780,
900 Fire-many People Were Mads
Homeless,

Davenport, Ia, July 26.-Fire laid
waste to an area of sawmill and
residence property in Davenport last
evening equal to 20 ordinary city
blocks. The flames started in big
piles of kindling wood of the Rock
Island Fuel Co. on the levee. A brisk
breeze was blowing and carried the
flames directly across the immense
lumber yards of Weyerhauser &
Denkmann, which was soon a seething
mass of flames. The spread of the
fire was so rapid that workmen bare
ly had time to desert the yard.
The flames pushed their way into
the adjoining residence district, close
ly settled with middle class homes,
the average value a few thousand dol
lars each, from which the occupants
escaped only with their lives and the
clothing on their backs. Over so
homes were burned and some tene-
ments, resulting in hundreds of fami-
lies being rendered homeless; others
deserted their homes in the threat
ened district.
The efforts to check the flames
were unavailing till they spread on
the north to the spacious ground of
st. GATHERINGS hall, boarding school
for young ladies, which was saved
fter the tower burned off. Gradual
ly the battle waged on the edges of
the flaming district told, as the less
thickly settled portions of the city
were invaded, and by 10 o'clock the
confiagration was under control.
The mill and yards of the Weyer-
hauser & Denkmann Co. were totally
destroyed; loss 100000. Residence
and other losses 100000. The U. N.
Roberts sash and door factory, Red
Jacket Pump Co., Standard Oil Co.,
Riverside mill and Davenport wooden
mills had narrow escapes, as the
flames were checked just before
reaching them.
1t is believed there were no fatali-
ties. although it is impossible to say
definitely at this time.
Had the breeze blown from the east
the entire business portion of the
city would have been swept away.
Fortunately southeast breeze car
ried the flames toward the bluffs, and
as soon as they were out of the thick
ly settled district the work of fire.
men and hundreds of volunteers
brought the fire under control. The
heat was intense and two ambulances
were kept busy hauling away persons
who were prostrated by it. In few
instances persons living in the burned
| district have not been located by their
relatives, but it is believed that they
escaped Possibly 100 families were
rendered homeless.

EarthauaiSes In Nevada.

Salt Lake. Utah, July 27.-A section
rs miles wide through the Nevada des-
ert experienced a series of heavy
earthquake shocks Friday. The Vi
brations generally were from north
to south and at one or two points
lasted five seconds. At Elko, Eev.,
the shock was unusually severe. The
high school building, a big new brick
edifice, was badly cracked by the vio-
lence of the vibrations and other
buildings were slightly damaged.

BIG INCREASES ARE SHOWN.
Statement Prepared by the Treasury
Department Demonstrates that Great
Britain Is still Our Rest Customer
Among the Nations.

Washington, July 27.-The detailed
figures of the foreign commerce of
the United States in the year ended
June 30, 1901, were completed by the
treasury bureau of statistics Friday.
They show total imports 1892, 2,673 ,016;
total exports $1,4S7, 7,755,557.
The imports by great classes in the
fiscal year 1901, compared with the
preceding year, are as follows: Ar
ticles of food and animals in 1900,
S21S,510,09S 1901, 1922, ,227 ,S9S; articles
in crude condition for use in domes-
tic industry in 1900, 1902, 1867 in
1901 $269, 1853, ,404; articles wholly or
partially manufactured for use in
manufactures and mechanical arts in
1900, SSS,354, ,439; in 1901, $79,0SO,716;
articles manufactured ready for con-
sumption in 1900, $12S, 900, ,507; in 1901,
S13O6G2, ,903; articles of voluntary use,
luNuries, etc, in 1900, Sill ,G7O,O94; in
1901, $12093S,095.
The exports of domestic merchan-
disc by great classes were as follows:
Products of agriculture. 1914, ,O50, ,56s
Products of manufacture =. 41O, ,5O9,173
Products of mining. .. 39,267, 7,647
Products of the forest. 54,312. $50
Products of the fisheries. 7,743,313
miscellaneous. 4,561, ,21S
Each of these great classes except
manufactures show a marked in
crease over last year. The de-
crease in manufactures, which
amounts to So, 3,342, 5S3, is due chiefly
to the absence of figures showing eX-
ports to HAWAII and Porto Rico, which
are estimated at about $25,00O,O for
the year and largely consisted of
manufactures. In two important
articles of manufacture, however, the
exports of 1901 fall below those of
1900. The total exports of copper in
1901 were 252, 1928 pounds, valued
at $41 ,260, 0,376,a 6,against 81, ,340,725 pounds
in 1900, valued at $50, ,772, ,166. This
decrease was due to q reduction in
demand for copper in Europe. In
cotton cloths there was reduction,
exports to China.
The exports to each of the CONT
nents except Asia and Oceanica show
a marked increase over last year. To
Oceanica the apparent decrease of $S,-
014,099 is entirely due to the absence
of the Hawaiian figures from the eX-
port statement of 1901.
To Asia, the reduction of $15,51O,-
| 993 is due in part to the temporary
suspension of exports to China during
the recent period of hostilities, and
in part to the reduction in exports of
cotton to Japan, as compared with
abonrmal exports in 1900.
BY far the largest increase in ex-
| ports was to the United Kingdom, the
total increase being nearly $100,000,-
900, of which over $50,000,000 was in
cotton, about $15,O00,000 in bread
stuffs and about $1O,O00,00O in pro.
visions. The total exports to British
territory were valued at $S19, ,651 1892
The total imports of the year were
$27, PCS, ,16S, less than those of 1900 and
$22,243,1S0 less than those of 1891
The total exports were $03,272,475 in
