the OFFICIAL DEMAND.
Government Insists Upon the Ex'

Washington, July l3.-Steps have
been taken by the state department
for the extradition to the United
States of Col. Jno. F. Gaynor and
Capt. Benz. D. Greene, now under ar
rest at Quebec, Canada.
A formal application for their extra
dition has been made by Secretary
Hay to Mr.. Raikes, charge d'affaires
of the British embassy, who is now at
Newport and who, it is expected, will
cable the request promptly to his gov
ernment.
The grounds on which extradition
are asked are comprehensive in charac-
ter. The action Of the state depart
ment is independent of the proceedings
now in progress to obtain the extradi-
tion of the men through ordinary
judicial process. The secretary has
not yet acted on the suggestion of tbs
department of justice that there were
distractions placed in she way of the
Canadian proceedings by reason Of
connections between counsel for
Messrs. Geene and Gaynor and crown
officers.

The STRIKE SITUATION.
Coal Miners Strike Begins Tenth
Week---Crisis Expected.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 13.-The tenth
week of the great anthracite miners
strike may witnesses the crisis. Every
thing now depends upon the national
convention which meets at Indiana
polls on Thursday. If the convention
votes solid support to the hard coal
miners now on strike, the conflict with
the operators may be prolonged in
definitely. On the other hand should
substantial support not be forthcoming
it may have discouraging effect on
the strikers, and the operators, TAX
ing advantage of it, may attempt to
resume operations at some of the col
lieries. This is the consensus of opin-
ion as expressed in operators and strike
circles. No effort will be made by
any of the large coal companies to
start up any of their mines. this week.
Indianapolis must speak first before
any move is made ). in that direction.

region will vote as unit in. tho con-
vention.. ~. ii=5a ssl- :.

sLANDERIHG L MISSIONARY.
The Report Of a United States
0mciaI Does a Great Injustice.
ganlZatiOn.

Several weeks ago we called atten-
tion to an evident slander upon the
late DR.. T. p. Crawford, who was a
missionary to China for more than
fifty years, and whose good name and
honest intentions were called into
question in the report OF r. G..
Squires, secretary of the American
legation in Pekin, to the State depart
ment in Washington. It was alleged
that DR.. Crawford entered claim
against the local authorities at Tien
Tsin, China, for his travelling ex-
penses to this country of 81, le0 and
for eight months house rent in Green
vile after his arrival in this city.
The distinct charge was made by Mr..
Squires that missionaries used their
peculiar positions to get payment upon
claims of this kind, and the inference
was that DR.. Crawford came under the
ban of censure for this act.
The outcome of these statements in
regard to Dr.. Crawford is just what
we predicted, and there is no founda-
tion for them. Mrs. Crawford has
written a letter to Mr.. Geo. A. Nor
wood, of this city, in which she gives
all the important facts relating to
their journey to this country. The
American consul at Chefoo was John
Fowler. who chartered steamer at
$500 (Mexican) per day which was to
cnovey all the missionaries from the
interior of the province to Cheefoo,
and DR.. Crawford paid his part. Mr..
Fowler requested the missionaries to
make an inventory Of their property
left behind, which was thought to be
certainly destroyed, and to include all
other expenses incurred by enforced
fight. The property was not destroy
ed and no claim was made for it. Dr..
Crawford thought it right to include
his steamer fare to America, as they
could not stay in China. He did not
push this or any other claim, but SIM
DIV made a list of legitimate expenses
and left the matter entirely to the
discretion of the authorities.
DR.. Crawford thought the claim he
made represented just debt and that
it was right to ask payment, but he
never pressed any of the claims, leav-
ing the rightful authorities to decide
in regard to all the details. AS a
matter of fact not cent was ever paid
to him for expenses in coming to the
United States, and Mrs. Crawford
knows nothing Of any claims for
house rent in Greenville. The total
amount received by DR.. Crawford for
indemnity was s221.4o, and part of
this amount was expended by his agent
upon repairs on house in China.
The foregoing is condensed state
ment of the facts given in Mrs. Craw-
ford's letter, and is a complete. vindl-
cation of the conduct of DR.. Crawford,
whose uprightness and integrity were
never called into question during his
long life.-Greenville Mountaineer.

diseased appendix" The attitude of
surgeons and physicians alike today
is not to allow an appendicitis attack
to advance to the stage Of abscess
formation, which has many .perils. -
The factor Of age in well-cared for
patient is not so much to be dreaded
as the public fears.'' DR.. Able has
seen patients at 80 years Of age ''make
as beautiful convalescence from opera
tion for appendicitis with abscess as a
vigorous youth. - The great lesson to
be learned from exhaustive study of
the subject, he adds, is that an ap-
pendix once diseased is always diseased
and perpetual menace to its owner
"The Kings appendix must have
been diseased many years, whether it
gave evidence of it or not. The So
called first attack of appendicitis is
awlays the death struggle Of long dis
eased organ'' We have ample reason
to advise early removal of any appen-
dix once known to be diseased.
The discussion ends with paper
by DR.. Robert 7. Morris, of New
York, who says that the Kings case
appears to be one of appendicitis of
rather common type" which had
been better treated by early operation
in advance of abscess formation. %
It is not generally understood, he re-
marks suggestiyely, that in any case
Of appendicitis an operation for
removal (destruction) of the appendix
is actually being done by bacteria, and
that an operation by the surgeon is
simply to forestall the work of opera
tors already in the field" He closes
his paper with the remark, quoted in
the outset of this article, that the an
nual death rate from appendicitis
Improperly managed" is greater
than the death rate from war.
The consensus of opinion of Amer
lean authorities, according to DR..
Murphy's paper, is that proper man
agement consists in operation within
the first twenty-four hours after the
onset of symptoms of the disease

Evans GIVES THE LIE
Iwo up Country seaniidates Talk
About Fighting at st. Georges
Saturday.

ST. Georges, July 12.-The Sena-
torial and Congressional meeting was
held here IN the Court House today In
the presence of about. 800 people: a
number of ladies occupied seats in the
.s Jury box'' and were interested spec
tators of all that transpired.
The meeting was divided into two
sessions, one in the forenoon, the 9th
er in the afternoon.
The morning session was not with
out incident. Messrs. Evans and Lati-
mer were at ito again, and at one
time it looked like there would be a
fight within the bar of the court
room, but the sheriff of Colleton, ian
adjoining county, put stop to the
matter.
It came about in this way: Mr..
Evans was the first speaker and in his
speech prodded Mr.. Lati1ner In the
same way and on the same matters
which had been brought out at pre-
vious meetings. Mr.. Latimer made
about the same refutations and said
that they, meaning the Reformers,
had carried Mr. Evans as long as they
could and had dropped him, and made
some allusion to Evans being his
friend, . to which Evans replied:
.'You never were my friend. You
betrayed me ike dog"
Mr.. Latiner 81 am tired OF this:
let us go outside and settle this mat
ter now.7
Mr.. Evans: e. All right, / am ready
now,'' and they both moved toward
each other, but mutual friends inter
fered and the matter rested.
Then Mr.. Latimer brought up the
s15. 900 bond deal and said Evans had
been charged with it in the last cam
paign, and Evans corrected him by
saying that it had only been rumored,
and some reference was made to anony-
nous circulars in connection with Mr..
Duncan's name, but their meaning
was not cleared. Mr.. Evans added
that he had denied the accusation at
the time, denouncing it as lie. He
now denounced it as such and the man
who repeats it is a liar.
At this point Mr.. Lati,ner appeared
to have reached the point where en-
durance ceased to be virtue, hence
the enactment of the little tragedy.
The meeting proceeded without incl
dent until after recess, when the party
went to the hotel to get dinner. Mr..
Latimer proceeded to Mr.. Evans's
ruom and said: "Mr. Evans, / wish
to have word with you" to which
Mr.. Evans replied: "No, sir, you
cannot talk to me, % and walked down
stairs and went out and dined with a
friend.
There was no excitement, but those
who know both of the men think that
matters will soon reach crisis. Both
evidently had friends in the audience,
and the other four candidates we're
perhaps the most interested spectators.

Chicago, July l3.-Final overtures
for the settlement Of the strike OF
freight handlers and teamsters were
made at meetings of the two unions
tonight. At the instigation of the
members of the Chicago board OF arbi-
tration, the freight handlers agreed
to send committees to all the railroads
tomorrow morning. This agreement
was made after, the board had announc-
ed to the union men that eight Of the
largest roads entering Chicago had
agreed to pay l71a cents an hour to
truckers, and pay for overtime and
do away with the demand for q pro-
bationary period of service.
The general managers of two of the
railroads declared they had agreed to
no such proposition. They declared
that when the committees shall visit
the railroad Offices tomorrow morning
the roads will offer them the same
terms as those which were rejected by
the union men yesterday. The freight
handlers agreed to make another effort
to reach settlement with the rail
roads only to please the teanlsters,
who previously had endorsed the at
tempt Of; the board Of arbitration to
settle the strike. There is lack Of
evidence of their intention to make a
serious effort to settle the controversy.
President Gurran of the freight ham
dlers' union said tonight that the
committees tomorrow win insist on
the payment of Is cents an hour, and
hereafter will reject all proposals which
shall not stipuiate for the payment Of
the wage scale as formulated by the
union and the recognition of the or
ganization.
