Coughlin Badly Missed.

Coughlin was not able to play and the
Washington team without Coughlin is
about cf as much worth as bunghole

ner and played very sloppy weather ball
The great trouble with Willie seemed
TO be that the silver-plated lid 10 his
think tank was unscrewed. and made
such a racket whenever he cayorted af-
ter hit that he was misled by the sound
and was unable to distinguish 1t from
the whir-r-r of the sphere. As con-
sequence of leaving home with his silver
door-plste out CT condition, Willie Keis-
ter looms up very prominently on the
lugubrious side of the story of the dis
sster.
Reports from the Coughlin bedside are
to the effect that the third baseman will
be able to report for duty perhaps by
tomorrow; certainly by Thursday.

orth in Right Field.

Orth was sent in to tramp down the
withered grass in the right field, and
Lee was given transfer to the center
garden, because of Ryan being out
of the game on account OF a slight in
disposition.
Colonel Lee was fortunate enough to
put resin on his hands before entering
the arena, but no such happy thought
occurred to ''SmiHag'' Mr. Orth, and he
cannot, therefore, draw very large
sized paragraph of appreciation this

was very punk on one or two occa

'.Bucky" Freeman to get credit for a
home run, whereas the ball skedaddled
through Orths substructure. He was
after it in hurry, but the damage had
been done. and by the time the sphere

Ferris came within an ace of getting
credit for pair of four sackers, but

up in his speed and was intent on only
reaching third, whereas the Bostonian
coacher implored him to stretch the hit
into homer, for it was in the early

4 TARIFF TREATY HITH CHINA.
The Result Of a Years Negotia
tions.

Washington, August 1.-THE State
department. has received a dispatch
from 7. S. Sharretts, the treasury
expert, who was commissioned by the
State department to negotiate tariff
treaty between the United States and
China, stating that the treaty was
signed on the 18th inst, and that he
would sail for the United States on the
first steamer.
The announcement contained in
Mr.. Sharretts's brief dispatch to the
State department. brings to success
full conclusion negotiations which have
been in progress for many months for
a tariff treaty between China and this
country. It was stipulated as one Of
the features of the peace agreement
between China and the foreign Pow
ers, at the close of the Boxer outbreak,
that an entirely new fabric of trade
treaties should be made. This carried
out the purpose. Secretary Hay had
maintained throughout the preceding
negotiations for an open door, the
desire being to open up foreign com
munications with the interior Of China
and thus gain access to the vast mar
kets of the Empire.
Mr.. Sharretts's dispatch is dated at
Shanhgai, and does not go into details
regarding the treaty he has signed

President Charles NJ. Schwab, of the
United States Steel corporation, has
accepted the advice Of physicians and
decided to retire indefinitely from an
active business life. He will leave
America to seek some quiet nook in
a foreign cline. where not an echo OF

him. This information is authentic.

TENTS illness cannot be learned

Mr.. Schwab is not confined to his
bed, but spends much of his time on
the wide yeranda which affords fresh
air and sweeping view OF the noun
tain slope. He is always with his
wife or his parents.
The strange part of Mr.. Schwab's
illness is that he is always within view
Of those who call at his house, yet he
will not allow any person to approach
him. Heretofore the visitor to the
Schwab home was greeted with q
hearty welcome and a vigorous hand
shake Now the visitor is met at the
entrance and told that Mr. Schwab
cannot be seen. Intimates of the
family receive the same message and
none has been able to converse with
President Schwab since he came back
to his home.

is still time for that i'll sister story to
be explained by st. Jim the martyr
before the 26th, so it does not come
under the category of stories told on
the eve of the election which cannot
be denied. IF st. Jim did not like the

gotten up a better story than that.
st. Jim is taking great refuge in
the petticoats this campaign. He is
playing the calico for all that it is

of this illness the Spartanburg Herald
observes: The general impression
hereabouts is that Jim Tillman has q

Generous 10 BennettsyiIIe.

The town OF 3ennettsyille, S. c.,
experienced ON Thursday last one OF
the proudest days in its history, and
ali shrough the generosity Of a woman.
Tire day was noted by the laying of the
coroner stone OF the $40, 900 graded
school bniIding, the money to build
which was given by Mrs. Harrison
Murchison Beckwith. Mrs. Beckwith
vas once a poor schoolmarm" in
Rennetssville, and when she married
3 man OF means she did not forget the
community iwnere she had made so
many friends.
She is northern woman who came
20 teach in Bennsttsyille in 1882. She
married Col. John D. Murchison, OF
Bannettsville, in 1892, and Mrs.
furchison married Geo. II. Beckwith,
4 prominent lawyer Of Plattsburg, N.
Il, in December, 1895, and since that
tine has lived in Baltimore and Dem
yer, Col, and she has large mining IN
serests near the latter place. Mrs.
Beckwith has ever since her residence
IN Bennsstsyille entertained the warm
est feelings towards the people of that
sogn. She is reported to now be worth
more than million dollars, and on
account of her kindly feelings for
those people she determined to erect a
suitable school building for the town.
The people of Bennettsville highly
appreciate this valuable gift and turn
ca out en- masse to witness the inter
esting ceremony, every business house
in the town being closed at that hour.

From the mercantile reports it looks
as if this is going to be year OF
Jubilee with the farmers. Reports
from nearby home are to the same
effect, and this is of more Importance
to US. There is every indication OF
plenty to eat for man and beast, and
that is the best news in the world. We
might have fields yellow with tobacco
and white with cotton, but if we had
to buy provisions and provender we
would be poor. When the country is
rich the town hourishes. There has
been paid out for tobacco in this town
along since the season opened over
$50, 600, and this is only one of seven
teen tobacco markets in this section
of the state, all of which have been
doing we'll. This will go far towards
paying on last years debts and max
ing the country rich for another year
if it is husbanded. Providence has
smiled on these people this year; we
ought to be mighty good, though we
doubt if we will be much better than
we we're last year.-Florence Times.
During the excitement of the cam
paign it is a good time to state that
Miles B. McSweeney has made a
good governor. He has been attentive
to the duties of the Office, fair in his
administration and careful in all
things. He has not attempted to play
the boss, nor has he acknowledged any
boss. He has administered the affairs
of the State well.-Carolina Spartan.

FROM The DILLON Side.

o the Editor of The Stase:

To the Editor of The STATE:
Unless Mr.. W. E. Blue will deny
making the speech at Dillon in which
he reflected upon Messrs B. R. Mul-
Inns, W. P. Stackhouse, F. F. Coving-
ton and P. B. Hamer I hardly think
il necessary to defend myself against
the insinuation Of having fabricated
for sinister purposes. ("
The language imputed to Mr.. Blue,
and reported by me, was the sum OF
his answers given to several categori-
cal questions piled in rapid succession,
and was but the reiteration of similar
statements made at Latta and Berry's
Cross Roads the two days preceding.
And while the impression made was
profound. it occasioned no surprise,
inasmuch as it was arranged before
hand that these questions would be
put to Mr.. Blue and from his previous
statements it was known what would
probably be his reply. Any number OF
Dillonites knew al this, and having
heard the charges made by Mr.. Blue,
are prepared to say whether he was
correctly reported or not.

RENEWED war IN PHILIPPINES.
Vigorous Movement Against The
Moros Considered Necessary.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-A cable dis
patch has been received from Gen.
Chafee stating in his Judgment an ae-
tive campaign against the Moros IN
Mindarao was necessary to curb the
opposition that has been growing
against United States authority. The
dispatch was considered of sufficient
Importance to be repeated to President.
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
Gen. Chafee has been directed to.
use his own discretion in the matter
and will no doubt engage in an ag-
gressive movement against the lnsnr-
gent Moros. Some time before Secre--
tary Root left Washington the Moro
situation was under consideration and
from dispatch then at hand the sec
retary was of the opinion that the
Moros must be dealt with severely be-
fore they would respect the authority
of the United States.
Gen. Chaffee is now in Mindanao,
having left Manila some days ago. If
the campaign should continue for some
time, he no doubt will remain in the
Philippines instead of leaving onlSep-
tember 3oth as he had planned. 1t is
understood at the war department
that Gen. Chafee has sufficient troops
to make, an active campaign.

treasurer of Marion county, is report
ed to have said in his speech at Dillon
yesterday that the undersigned had is
sued fraudulent tax receipts in the last
new county election and had acted in
bad faith toward him and violated the
confidence placed in US. None of US
heard this speech, and knowing Mr..
Blue as we do we cannot believe that
he made such an assertion. Whether
made by him or fabricased by Others
for sinister purpose, we denounce it as
an absolute falsehood. We did not is
sue any receipts at all and co not know
of any which were fraudulently issued.
So far as we know, not an improper,
Illegal or fraudulent act was commit
ted in that election on the part of the
old county advocates, and we chal-
lenge proof that we or anyone OF us
did more than was proper and right.
We assume responsibility for all that
we did in that election, but if Mr..
Blue made the statement that we pro-
cured false receipts to be issued, or
committed an improper act or were
guilty Of bad faith toward him, he
told what he knew to be absolutely
untrue.

MoRos ATTACKING oUTPosTs

Manila, Aug. 1s.-The Moros in
Mindanao are renewing their attacks
upon the outposts and pack trains OF
the American column at Lake Lanao,
which is under the command OF Capt
J. j. Pershing of the Fifteenth
cavalry. The Americans have success
fully repulsed the Moro attacks and
have suffered no loss. The comman-
ders of the American forces in Min
danao report aggressive action against
the Moros to be necessary, and ask
permission to move against Bacolod,
and other strongholds of the hostile
Mohammeds. There is also about
1000 soldiers in Mindanao available
for desired American aggressive move
ment. 1t is believed this number is
sufficient to defeat the Moros, although
it would possibly be necessary to
strengthen their base before undertak5
ing the movement.
