MANY pASSHNGERS(O
IN STEAMER SIERRA

The Oceanic, steamer Sierra arrived
last evening from the Colonies after Q
fast trip. The vessel left Sydney lit
tie behind time but made 1t up before
Auckland was reached. Between the
two places some rough weather was
met, From Auckland to port a fine
trip was made but the steamer was
delayed several hours of Pago Page by
q dense fog. The Sierra brought near
ly one hundred first and second
cabin passengers from the Colonies so
the many people here who were anx-
ious to leave in her, found to their Joy
that there was plenty Of room. Last
night from the time the vessel was
sighted until nearly midnight the off,
ces of the agents were crowded with
people all clamoring for news of their
chances. When they found that there
was room for about two hundred in the
first and second cabin and lots of room
In the steerage, the anxiety abated and
everything was serene again.
The Sierra sailed at noon with as
large crowd of passengers as has ever
sailed from here in one steamer. The
band was at the wharf and the Zealan-
dia passengers who left here Saturday
got another send off today All the
Zealandia passengers who wished 1t.
were sen. of in the vessel today.

HAAND|A DELAY MAY
AFFECT MAIL CONTRACT

The putting back Of the steamer
Zealandia through the giving out Of
her starboard boiler may mean great
er expense to the OCEAN,. company
than the mere delay Of the ship ,Nd
the cost Of repairs. Uncle Sam has to
be figured with In the matter ON ac-
count Of contract for carrying the
mails. The company has contract
with the government to carry the mail
between San Francisco and this port
for one year from the 18th day of May
this year to the 18th of May of 1902.
The company agreed to make round
trip between the points mentioned
every three weeks. the time from port
to port to be about six days.
On account Of the failure Of the
Oceanic company to live up to Its
agreement through inability of the
Zealandia to make the run in the spe-
Gifted time they are very likely to have
"a penalty imposed upon them for fail
ure.
Regarding the statement being made
pretty generally since the return Of the
Zealandia that she was sent away in
an unseaworthy condition, Captain
Dowdell and Chief Engineer Keller say
1t is utterly false. After repairs were
made to the vessels boilers thew were
tested with high water pressure and
found to be all right. That they were
all right Is proved by the fact that up
to the time they began to leak again
the vessel had been making between
eleven and twelve knots an hour. Then
the starboard boiler began to give out
with the result that the vessel put
hack It is expected that by Monday
the permanent repairs will be effected
and the vessel will start for San Fran.
cisco again.

After weeks Of hard work and steady
plodding along the line of reduction
of salaries and other items in the APP
preparation bill, the Senate today cast
conservatism to the four winds and in

have triumphed with him. Twelve
years ago the total amount Of wages
paid out in Columbia to the operatives
engaged in a single small manufac-
turing industry, which was all that
Columbia had, was $1,000 a month; to-

W. S. Lee, a merchant Of Whitmire,
was murdered in his store sometime
during Thursday night. Mr.. Lees
body was not found until Friday morn
ing. The circumstances showed that
he must have been awakened during
the night either to wait upon a pre-
tended customer or to investigate sus-
picious noises in the store. His head
was crushed in with scantling. The
store was robbed Of goods, money and
pistols. At last accounts the people
of Whitmire were engaged in an effort
to capture the murderer or murderers.

Statesburg correspondence Of The
News and Courier: A young gentleman
from the North, who Is visiting afriend
here, Is very much impressed with the
density Of the colored population. He
walked into the depths Of the Wateree
swamp and standing, as he thought,
all alone on a bridge spanning one of
the lakes, he picked out stump some
distance off on the edge Of the water to
try his new gun on and see how 1t
would scatter. AS he aimed, and just
as he was going to pull the trigger, the
stump jumped up, waving an arm,
and yelled: Don't shoot me-" He
then saw it to be the ubiquitous Cuffee

DIR. j. Il. 0. Landrum Dead.
DR.. J. B. o. Landrum died at his
home in Campobello, Spartanburg
county, last Saturday, after an illness
of several weeks. He was first attack
ed by a carbuncle, from which blood
poisoning resulted. DR.. Landrum was
one of the best known and most valua-
BILE citizens of Spartanburg county. He
was 70 years of age. In his day he was
conspicuous as a soldier, legislator,
patriot and historian. In the latter
capacity he performed distinguished
service, rescuing from oblivion many
Revolutionary facts and also leaving
an elaborate published history Of Spar
tanburg county. The interment Of DR..
Landrum took place at Mount Zion
churchyard on last Monday.
Pensions For Negroes.
The records of the pension depart
ment in Columbia show that three
Negroes have applied for pensions on
account Of their services in the war
and that their applications have been
approved by their county boards. One
of the applicants sets forth that he was
a free Negro at the time the war broke
out, and the record on file in Colum-
bia sets forth that he did enlist for SER
vice. Quite number of Confederate
veterans hold that no Negro was really
a Confederate veteran, and that no
Negro should be pensioned as such.

THEY'LL FIGHT TO THE END.
Beers Concentrating Their Powers Of 0Hense
and Defense.

ooCio SonSCHbobIHB lH0u To"Sto VI Su0uSS
and Defense.
The transference Of the seat Of gov
ernment Of the South African Repub-
lie from Petersburg to Leydsdrop in
the Zoutpansberg by the vice-presi-
dent, General Schalk- Burger, indicates
the beginning of another and probably
the last stage Of the South African
war.
Having made up their minds to re-
sist to the end, whatever it may be,
the Boer leaders have had consulta-
tion at which they have formulated
their plan Of campaign for the coming
winter. Generals Botha and De Wet
are reported to have met, after which
the latter returned south Of the Vaal
and was last heard Of at Vrede in the
Vesamel Breg, in the northeast corner
Of the Orange River Colony. A British
force had been sent from Harrismith
with the object of dislodging him; but
the result is not yet reported; nor is
General Botha's whereabouts stated,
though it may be surmised from the
fact that the railway between Natal
and johannesburg was attacked at
three points on the same day.
It would seem that the Beers have
for some time been collecting great
quantities of cattle and sheep in the
Businesses of the Zoutpansberg where
also they have ample supplies Of am
munition, and intend making 1t point
Of ultimate resistance as well as base
Of present operations. On the railway
into Selati Valley toward Leydsdrop
from Komatipoort, several thousand
wagons forming the rolling stock of
the Transvaal railways were concen-
trated after the evacuation Of Pretoria,
ready to be destroyed in the event
Of a British advance, and by that road
much Of the stores landed at Delagoa
Bay were sent up to Leydsdorp. Con-
siderable quantities were also sent into
the Zoutpansberg from Petersburg, to
which place they were carried by rail
from Pretoria before the British arri-
we'd there.
The advantage to the Beers Of the
Transvaal under the new plan Of cam
paign is that so long as they can keep
the British out Of the mountains the
British horses will have nothing but
the withered grass Of the veldt and
forage imported at great cost and trou-
BILE to feed upon, while their own
horses are fattening on the fresh grass
Of the valleys, from where they can
issue whenever the opportunity to
make raid presents itself.
The Free State burghers under Pres
ident Steyn and De Wet have evidently
decided to make the northeastern and
the eastern part Of their country the
field Of operations, combining with the
Transvaalers a general plan Of opera
tions against the British communica-
tions all along the line. Lord Kitch-
ener will have an opportunity, with
the fresh troops and remounts he is
receiving, of showing his capacity for
dealing with the remnant Of the Boer
forces still in the field, and putting an
end to a war now we'll into its second
year after almost universal opinion
had, at the start, given 1t not more
than a few months duration.-New
York Sun.
