ADMISSION Of TERRITORIES
FIRST SUBJECT OF GENERAL I'M
PoRTANcE IN THE SENATE.
1t is Possible That Oklahoma Only
Will Be Admitted-A Protracted De-
bate is ProbabIe-Trusts, Tariff and
Reciprocity Also to Receive Atten.
ton at This Session.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE admis
sion Of the territories Of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona as states of
the union probably will be the first
subject of general importance to re-
ceive the attention of the senate, which
begun it's sessions at noon Tuesday.
After the omnibus territorial bill
passed the house last session it's
friends in the senate were so insistent
on action by the senate and so strong
in point of numbers that in the interest
of other pending legislation unanimous
agreement was reached that in con
of the measure during the last session
the committee on territories would re-
port on the bill next Wednesday, De-
cember 3, and that week later the bill
should become the unfinished business
in the senate, which means that unless
or by unanimous consent it will oc-
cupy the first place on the senate cal
endar until disposed of.
1t is current expectation that this
program will be carried out, whether
the committees report is favorable or
unfavorable, as the agreement contem-
plated consideration regardless of the
character of the report.
There is no definite information as
to what is the committees decision,
but at the last session all the republi
can members of the committee except
Senator Quay voted to defer considera.
ton, while Senator Quay and all the
democratic members voted for imme.
date action, the result being a ma
jority for postponement. 1t is known
that some Of the republican members
favor an amendment to the bill so as
to provide for the admission of Okla
homa only, and it is the prevailing
opinion that the committee will divide
on this proposition, all the republicans
except Senator Quay being considered
favorable to it. However, the trans
fer of one republican vote would in
sure the report of bill to admit all
three of the territories to statehood,
do oChdlOl quay lue
are in favor of a tristate measure.
Other questions which, in addition to
the territorial bill, are expected to re-
ceive the attention of the senate at
this session are the trusts, the tariff
and Cuban reciprocity.
Very few republican senators admit
the probability of any change of the
tariff law during the present session,
but some bills to modify present
schedules may be introduced and
speeches made thereon. There is quite
unanimity Of opinion favorable to
antitrust legislation, and this opinion
goes to the extent of predicting results
along the lines indicated by Attorney
General Knox for the amendment of
the Sherman antitrust law. There is
no longer serious talk of constitutional
amendments for the control of trusts,
as it is recognized that in a short ses-
sion it would be impossible to secure
action on such amendments.

validated.

Richmond, Va.-Chief Justice Fuller
of the supreme court of the United
States and Judge Waddill, sitting in
the circuit court have dismissed the
suits brought by John S. Wise to in
validate. the new Virginia constitution,
holding that the federal court had no
jurisdiction, the actions being against

been passed upon adversely by the
supreme court.
The decision was delivered by Chief
Justice Fuller. Judge Waddill con-
cured in the decision, but differed
from the chief justice in some minor
points.
The suits were brought in the inter.
est of negroes who alleged that they
had been DISTINGUISHED by the recent

Former Estimates
Fully Confirmed,
Comparatively Short Crop of Cot
ton Indicated Hot Weather In
June Did 1t.

The following is the weekly
bulletin of the condition of the
crops issued Monday 22ud by Di-
rector Bauer of the S,uth Caro-.
lima section of the United States
weather bureau.
The weather. was favorable on
the whole for harvesting corn
cotton and rice anG for farm work
in general.
Reports on cottop are very full
this week, and cover every section
of the State, and they confirm
previous estimates of a comrara
lively short crop. 1t appears
that the promising condition near
the close of Jt,ne was irreparably
injured by the hot dry weath.
frsm June 2Sth to July 10th,
which, subsequently caused the
plants to shed, rust, and while
some fields in favorable localities
put on new growth late in August
that has since bloomed and fruit
ed, the majority of plants did not
fruit we'll during August, and
most of them apparently died.
Cotton is from two thirds to four
hfths open, and much of it has
been picked; indeed, some fields
have already been abandoned,
hut in number of counties pick
ers are scarce and there a smaller
percentage of the crop has been
gathered. The yields are esti-
mated below last years by ma
jority of the correspondents, al
though in five counties the yield
is estimated equal to or greater
than last years.
Frost deferred until late in
November will increase the crop
materially in places. Boil worms
have appeared ion late unopened
boIls in Barnwell county. Sea
island cotton is better than for a
number of years, and bears fair
top crop; picking we'll under way.
Corn is being housed. Minor
crops are doing we'll Truck is in
fine growing condition.

Killed by Train at Eastover.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Eastover, Sept. %. This morn
ing while the rock train was NOV
ing through Eastover Charlie
Sheppard, colored, who brought
bale of cotton to the gin for Mr..
b. w. Burkett, was instantly
killed by the train. 1t seems
that Sheppard was at the gin
house, which is about $50 yards
from the depot, and when he saw
the train coming ran Ito where the
train was and caught and swung
on to the side of the cars. AS he
passed crossing at the depot a
bridge railing struck his head
breaking his skull in several
places. He fell from the tram
and was very much mutilated.
The verdict of the coroner's iury
was that he came to his death by
misfortune and accident caused
by his own carelessness.

Pit Games as Protectors.

A pit game male will fight any
thing smaller than a horse or a
COW. Dogs, cats, hawks or any
thing that interferes with his
flock will be fought as long as he
lives, and he will attack his own.
er if he rufiles bim or his charge
too much. The pit game cannot
be surpassed as table fowl, and
while the hens are not regarded as
equal to some breeds as layers,
they are not inferior to others in
that resp ct. When a game hen
has brood of chicks and the cat
comes for meal (all cats will eat
chicks), u single introduction to
the hen gives the cat the highest
respect for her thereafter, and the
cat partialty for fresh chicks
will undergo great change. The
stray dog is likely to 60 off with
an eye out ora cash on his cheek,
for the game hen usually has spurs
and they hurt. She will FIGHT the
hawk to death and will suffer no
living creature to.harm her chicks
if fighting will prevent; and she
will raise her chicks, as no hen is
kinder and more attentive moth
er. She never tramples her
young, is always ready to hover
them, and does not race them TO
death. Ncighboring fowls keep
at a respectful distance, and the
young stays are kept under sub
lection by their sire, who also
keeps peace and good order in
the flock. We do not approve of
ck-fghting, but the pit game
would be useful bird even if
never fought in the pit. He is
courageous and attentive to his
mates, always ready to protect
the chicks and is one of the hand
soonest and prsudest birds known.
In outlying districts where
young chicks are subject to at
tacks of all kinds of vermin, the
game is really the most valuable
breed that can be kept. Other
breeds have not the spirit to pro.
tect themselves or their Young
from the attacks of their natural
enemies, but the game, male and
female, is ever vigilant and com
bative, and thus many a chick is
saved to grow to maturity that
would otherwise be lost. Asa
cross for other breeds the game
Is one of tie best that can be used.
1t has the constitution and shape
that makes it valuable, and 1t has
been bred for so long time that
no other breed is SO prepotent.
1t would be difficult to tell how
many of our improved breeds owe
many of their best characte .istics
to the pit game, and there are
some of them that would be great

Murphy & Co.'s stock Letter.

New York, May 26.-The stock mar
ket was irregular to-day on a COM
paratively large volume of business
The delay in the settlement of South
African war had some sentimental in
fluence with the traders but more i'm
portant factor was the strike of the
soft coal miners in the Virginia and
West Virginia regions. This movement
aroused fresh spread of labor troubles
The speculation ignored almost abso-
lutely the remarkably favorable bud
get OF railroad earnings sent out to-
day. The market at this showed
strength and for a while in the after
noon, an advance was constructed
with some spirit. This was succeeded
in the last hour by a sharp and SEEM
ingiy concerted selling movement
which caused some important re-
actions. A decline of about 2 per cent
in st. Paul and of over per cent. in
Union Pacific was credited to the So
called Western parties. Anthra cite
coalers were not specially affected, the
Readings losing only fractionally while
in Delaware and Hudson did not lose
per cent. Missouri Pacific showed a
firmer disposition but louisville ano
Nashville and Illinois Central lost over
l per cent. each. Canada Pacific con-
tinued to lead in activity and strength.
Local fractions were fairly steady.
Part of the later reaction was thought
to be due to some. congestion in Ameri-
can Railway shares at London. Mar
ket closed steady with some rallies
from the lowest.
