One of the Robbers Caught and
Taken to Charleston.

Branchville, Janary 30.-The ex-
press robbery is still the topic of alb
sorbing interest which takes up public
attention. The news up to date is as
follows:
Yesterday the three men who con-
veyed the through safe to the Edisto
for concealment until it could be
opened at leisure visited the spot
where the safe was found. They were
armed with guns and spent the day at
a fire in the woods. Some woodcut7
ters observed their movements and
duly reported the same.
This morning stranger attempted
to steal a ride on the blind baggage
platform of the train for Augusta, but
was put off by the train hands. He
had been closely wathced by detect
ives and when he set out on foot in
the direction of Augusta Detective
Hanley made a hasty trip to Fifty
eight, bringing back Pinckney Kearse
to identify the man. Kearse is the
negro farmer whose mule and wagon
was seized by the robbers to convey
the safe to the river and who persist
ed in following tthem in spite gof their
oaths and threats to shoot him. An
engine and coach containing the de-
tective and a posse set out from
Branchville and soon over hauled the
man, who was at once captured.
Kearse positively Identifies him and
says he is the man who broke gun
over his mules head. The prisoner
will be taken to Charleston tonight
for the purpose of further Identified
tion at certain hotel. The man had
seven watches in his possession,
which he claims to be his stock in
trade, but which may have relation to
some of the numerous recent bur-
glarieS.

THE LEVER CONTEST.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-Representa-
tive Lever has been informed that the
hearing given his contested election
case has been postponed by the COM
mittee on elections from February Is
to February 20.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that the present intention of a
number of the members of that COM
mittee is to make test case of Mr..
Levers case, in order to get before the
House the whole question of the con-
stitutonality of the unequal suffrage
laws in several of the Southern states.
The chairman of the committee,
Representative Olmsted, of Pennsyl-
vania, is known to be an ardent ad-
vccate of the Crumpacker bill to re-
duce the South's representation. Re
preventative Powers, of Maine, is an
other member of the committee who
has on more than one occasion ex-
pressed himself as antagonistic to sutf-
rage conditions in the Sonth These
members, with several others, it is
said. are determined to get a whack
at the representation of the South on
the floor of the House, and have decid-
ed that by reporting unfavorably the
case of Mr.. Lever an opportunity to do
this very thing will be forthcoming.
It will be rememembered that the
basis of contest in this case is the un-
constitutionality of South Carolina's
suffrage laws.

To Reduce War Taxes.


Wash ngton, Jan. 29.-The Republi-
can members Of the ways and means
committee held a private conference
tonight and decided to frame bill for
the reduction of war revenue taxes
before proceeding with the subject to
Cuban reciprocity. It is pretty fully
understood that the majority is pre-
pared to favor measure effecting very
large reductions, amounting practical
ly to repeal of the entire war taxes,
and aggregating about s6S, Coo. GOO.
At the conference today it was the
prevailing view that as Cnha had been
the cause for incurring the war reve-
nue. taxes the burden should Re remov-
ed from this country before consider
inc the relief to be granted to Cuba.

sGHLEY'S APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
The Comment Made Public by the
Navy Department.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The "com-
ment'' Of Judge Advocate Gen. Lem
ley and Solicitor Hanna upon the ap-
peal of Admiral Schley as submitted
to the president by Secretary Long
begins with the statement that Admi-
raj Schley and his counsel have shift
ed their ground. They say the chief
features of the case were the retro
grade moyemenG;'' disobedience of or
ders;'' inaccurate and misleading
official reports;;' - "failnre to destroy
vessels of the enemy, lying within
sight;;'' and injustice to a brother
oficer.'' These matters are all grave.
The first was that the finest aggrega-
tion of American naval vessels under
one command was, by Schley's direc-
ton, turned about and headed for Key
West, more than 700 miles distant,
when within % miles of Santiago,
where the enemy's ships were. The
second was that Schley deliberately
and knowingly disobeyed the secre-
tary's order overtaking his in his re-
trograde movement. The third was
that Schley's reason, officially given
for the retrograde movements and dis
obedience of orders, i. e., "that the
flying squadron was short of coal"
was not true. The fourth was that
for three days some of the Spanish
ships lay within reach of the flying
squadron and no sufficient effort was
made to destroy them. The fifth in
wolves the point Of honor. The COM
mentators say:
ssAll the above named features be-
ieEed by US to be the most important
if not the only really important mat
ter, into which the court made in
quiry, the conduct OF Admiral Schley
was condemned by that most distin-
guished tribula Admiral Dewey
and Rear Admirals Benham and Ram
sey and their findings and opinions
upon all of these several points,
The commentators charge that Ad
miral Schley now ignores all these
grave matters and bases his appeal
upon relatively unimportant features
of the case.

The motion to recommit the bill was
then defeated.
Senator Manning said that he be-
ieved the scale agreed upon was too
low and he proposed to amend by in
creasing all salaries 20 per cent.
Before the amendment was voted
upon Senator Henderson made some
observations on the bill. He said that
many Senators were dissatisfied with
the figures and he himself thought
that no salary should be reduced, be-
cause they are now small enough. AS
to auditors and treasurers, he thought
their salaries should be the same as
they are now. They are semi-state
and semi mi-county officers. AS to purely
county officers, like sheriff and clerk,
let each Senator fix the compensation
for his own county in accordance with
what is just.
Senator Livingston moved to strike
out the enacting words of the bill.
Senator Ragsdale thought the only
solution Of the matter would be along
the lines suggested by Senator Hen
derson.
The debate was interrupted by
papers from the House. In the morn
ing hour the Senate adopted the un-
favorable report on the House fish bill
and Senator Brown moved to recon
sinder the. motion whereby the un-
favorable report was adopted.
Senator Gruber spoke against the
bill holding that it would work great
hardship on the people of the lower
section OF the State. Owing to the
absence of certain Senators who want.
ed to discuss this measure further
consideration was postponed until to-
morrow and without coming back to
the salary bill the Senate adjourned
until IL O'Clock in the morning.

BITTER PERSONALITIES IN SENATE.
Teller, Lodge, TilIman and Spoon
er SquabbIe.

Washington, Jan. 29.-A Philippine
storm was central in the senate cham
Der today for nearly three hours, but
was void of definite results. At times
it looked very serious and the specta-
tors who thronged the galleries, watch
ed with breathless interest.
Acrimony in senate debates is not in
frequent, but old senators say it has
been years since there has been such a
hurricane of bitter vituperation,, of
personal taunt, of ugly charges, and of
unmodi6ed criticism as was witnessed
today. Not since the discussion of the
resolutions Leading up to the Hispano-
American war have any such scenes
occurred in the senate. Even that de-
bate lacked the personal bitterness
manifested at times today.
Irritation was aroused on both sides
of the chamber, and once or twice per-
sonal encounters between senator's
seemed imminent. Once when Sena-
tor Teller tainted the Republican SEN
ators by declaring they knew the state
ments made in recent dispatch from
Manila, in which Gen. Wheaton was
represented as eriticising the oppo.
nents Of the governments policy in
the Philippines were true, a half dozen
Republicans were on their feet in an
instant. Senator Lodge, at whom the
taunt seemed to be aimed particularly
burriedly crossed from his seat in the
center of the Republican side to the
main aisle of the senate, and white to
the lips, passionately challenged the
statement of the Colorado senator, and
demanded that he withdraw it. Sena-
tor Teller so modified the statement
that further hostilities at that time
were averted.
One of the sharpest colloquies of the
session was between Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin and Senator Tillman of
South Carolina. The race problem,
involving the lynching of negroes was
interjected into the controversy and
much feeling was manifested.
Senators in their excitement seemed
for the moment to have forgotten the
subject of debate. The chair (Mr.
Frye was able with difficulty to main
tain order. When the discussion final
ly was ended for the day, the chair
felt called upon seriously to admonish
senator's that the rules of the body had
not been observed, and after reading
the rule which had been violated he
expressed the hope that in the future
senators would have care to observe
it. Such an admonition has not been
made by the presiding officer of the
senate in many years.

Sad Case in Greenyille.

Greenville, January 2s.-M. Cooper.
white man so years of age, attempted
suicide here this morning. At noon
he was found by Superintendent Riser
in the cemetery, lying PROSTATE on
tie wet ground, his clothing covered
with thin ice, and utterly unconscious.
An empty two-ounce vial, which had
contained laudanum, was found near
him. He had been on the ground for
several hours and when found little
life was left. Physicians were sum.
moned and upon the administration of
restoratives he regained consciousness.
Little hope is expressed for his recov-
cry. He was at one time wealthy, but
lost all his money by speculation. and
he has no relatives or friends.

BATTLE OF GAFFs.

Sumter county cocks were victor
ious in the great battle of gafs yester-
day at the cock pit. Of the nine
fights in the main they won six. The
fighting continued nearly all day. and
those who were there declare it was
the most interesting sport in several
ways they have had in long time.
Wide interest extending even to Wash
ington, Richmond and out to Cali
fornia, centered in the battle. There
were interested spectators from several
cities in this state and North Caroina.

The best way to lick out the Virgin
ia-Carolina Chemical company, is for
every farmer in the state to have fer
tilizer factory of his own in his own
barnyard. This plan will bring
wealth to individuals and wealth to
the state. Those who consider the
goods of the Virginia-Carolina compa
ny too high, will not have to pay for
them. If the state goes into the COM
mercial fetilizer business, the man
who makes fertilizers in domestic
factory of his own on his own barn
yard, will be taxed along with others
to keep the state enterprise gong.

No Developments in Express Rob.
berry.

Branchville, Jan. 29.-There are no
new developments in the express rob-
berry.
It seems that there is, or has been
very little effort made to capture the
robbers. The supposition is that the
robbers are III this vicinity yet. 1t is
generally believed that with a little
effort the robbers could have been
easily captured. It seems that as soon
as the express safe was recovered the
chase was abandoned.
