STATE SENATOR INDICTED
Serious Charges Preferred
Against William F. Apple
garth, of Dorchester
County.

A dispatch to the San from
Cambridge, June 3rd, says:
The grand jury for the May
term of court which was recently
discharged here returned three
indictments against William L.
Applegarth, of this county.
Mr.. Applegarth has been re
leased under bonds for his APP
pearance for the next term of
court.
The first Indictment charges
Mr.. Applegarth with violating
the local option law of Dorchester
county by selling whiskey to
Thomas Ruark and James Riggin.
The other two indictments. which
are Nos. "A and 45 on the criminal
docket of the county, charge him
with embracery. This otfense in
law means the attempt to in :
fluence court or jury by other
means than evidence or argument
in open court.
The news of the indictment of
Mr.. Applegarth has created some
thing of a sensation among the
people of Dorchester county.
where he has always resided and
is regarded as one of the most
prominent men among Dorches-
ter'S citizens. He is State Sena-
tor from that county, having been
elected for a term of four years at
the last general election. He had
already served a full term in the
Senate. He has been prominently
spoken of as probable candidate
for Congress in the First district.
He is reported to be the wealthiest
man in Dorchester county.

many of them veterans of the
Civil War, that the opponents of
imperialism had called Grant "the
butcher" and had referred to them
as "Lincoln's hirelings." Mr..
RooSevelt's whole speech was cal
culated to stir up the bitterest
kind Of sectional feeling and party
strife and was one of the most
serious violations of good sense
and good taste ever perpetrated
in a Decoration Day Grafton.
The Republicans in the Senate
are rejoicing over the fact that
they have gained one Democratic
vote for the Philippine bill to off
set that of Senator Hoar, the Re-
publican who has frankly stated
that his conscience would not per
nit him to vote for the bill. On
Thursday, Senator Morgan of
Alabama made speech in favor
of the Lodge bill but to the care
ful listener it was plainly evident
that the course of the Alabama
Senator was entirely the result of
his strong convictions on the sub
ject Of religion and his belief that,
so long as American domination
had served to relieve the FilipinOs
OF the burden of an established
church, they could afford to put
up with whatever injustices the
policy Of the administration might
entail upon them. The vote upon
the Philippine bill will be taken
tomorrow afternoon.
Last week the House passed
the immigration Bill and the Hill
Subsidiary Coinage Bill. Repre-
sentatives Newlands, speaking of
the latter, remarked to me upon
the evident insincerity Of the Re
publicans in passing 80 important
a measure with only two hours
deliberation. BY the provisions
Of the bill, according to Mr.. New
lands, the Secretary of the Treas
ury is empowered to retire all sill
yer dollars which are now legal
tender and recon them into sub
sidiary coins which shall have a
legal tender value only in sums
not exceeding So. Should the
Secretary of the Treasury later
see fit to recoin the silver frac-
tional currency into dollars the
dollars so coined would have a
value only as taken money.

public. The surprise oppressed 10y Con-

of many who are familiar with such
