Washington, July IL Marion
Erwin, the special assistant to the at
torney general in prosecution OF the
charges against Gaynoe and Greene,
today made Che following statement in
repiy 30 the charge Of Mr.. Taschereau
of counsel for Gaynor and Greene
made Ia the Quebec court today, that
he Erwin has offered to, drop the
case against the defendants II they
would pay $500, ,oeo to the United
States government:
There is nothing in the statement
from Quebec that ! offered to settle
the case for $500, 600 except this: When
the prisoners were taken TO Montreal,
Benz. D. Greene in q conversation,
with me. which. he requested, stated
that he and Jno. F. Gaynor would
be wiling TO pay the government
$500, 600 in settlement OF the whole
controversy. I replied that the sum
stated was not sufficient for me to
mention TO the attorney general l,
however, did mention it to the atsor-
neT general, Mr. Knox, who said that
my answer was the proper one. -

Since Messrs ]. S. Horlbeck, John
Boyd and Murray Muirhead, all of
whom own and cultivate large tracts
of land near Mount Pleasant, expert
mented successfully with tobacco
plants more than a year ago, and
discovered that a high grade leaf
could be readily adapted to the soil, a
number of others have procured some
of the plants and are trying to see
what retruns they will yield. 1t will
be remembered that the sample sent
to Florence last fall for determining
the worth and grade of the products
were pronounced by experts to be equal
to that grown in the Pee Dee section
and what little crop there was could
easily have been disposed of at the
market prices. The crop in Charleston
county this year is in excellent con-
dition, and unless unusually adverse
conditions come later the experiment.
ers will be amply compensated for their
trouble and worry with the young
plants.-Charleston Post.

New County Troubles.

Would-be new counties Will please
noes the fact that Bamberg wants to
do away with term of court in order
to cut down expenses. Our representa-.
tives in the general assembly should
also remember this when the question
Of fixing salaries for county officials
again comes before them.
On account Of the sadly depleted
state of the county's finances, it is tc
be hoped that the effort to do away
with the Jurors at the coming term o.
court will be successful. Sevefa
hundred dollars will be saved in fees
of bailiffs, witnesses and Jurors. In
this event, only equity cases will be
tried.-Bamberg Herald.

dared are Harrowing in the Extreme.

Johnstown, Pa, July u.-This has
been day of heroic rescuss at the
Rolling Mill mine Of the Cambria

attended the efforts Of the 40 brave
ard daring fellows who went down
insso the bowels Of the earth with a
very faint hope to spur them that Still
there might be time TO restore TO lie
some Of those who are entombed..
Death lurked everywhere around
them, but, undaunted, they surged
forward, sMayed with the noblest
human purposes.
Tne reward OF their efforts was the
saving of the lives Of Il OF their fell
leJg men and bringing them again
to the sunlight and back to loving
families.
Dead and manned bodies were
ioeased. but no effort was made to
bring them out OF tho vast theatre
Sof death until every human energy
was put forward towards seeing that
no liying soul might escape their aid.
That done, the dead Were attended
TO and put in train cars, brought up
and exposed to morbid gaze, while
being transferred to wagons IN which
to be taken to the morgue.
AT IL o'clock tonight the number OF
known dead is 90; number CT injured

who were able to go home 4.

the aREEH-aAYA0R CASE.
Canada Lawyers Attack Mr.. Er'
win---Declare That he Made
Proposals 10 Gaynor and
Greene.

Quebec, July 1.-THE proceedings
in the Gaynor-G Greene cases today were
Of very little interest as regards the
case itself. In referring to the reports
sent to a ttorney General Knox by Mr.
Erwin, NJ Taschereau strongly pro-
tested against the remarks made by
Mr.. Erwin respecting the judiciary IN
this province and considered it an act
OF efroItery. ,5.
He regretted his absence here today
as he had something interesting to tell
him, but hoped that counsel for the
nosecution would do so. He was quite
surprised, he said, that in his report
Mr. Erwin had not Informed the Uni
ted States authorizes that ne had
made an offer to the prisoners to crop
the case if the later would pay over
SEQ, coo to the United States govern
ment. This offer, De. Taschereau
said. was made in the Windsor hotel,
Montreal, on the Saturday following
the, arrest of Gaynor and Greene.
Messrs. McMaster and Dandurano
protested against Mr.. TascheaeaU's re-
marks regarding Erwin's report and
said the latter had not reflected on the
indges, but on the contrary had e2-
pressed high appreciation OF them.
They did not believe that Mr.. ErWan
ever made such an offer to the accused.
Mr.. McMaster then presented a
motion to quash the habeas corpus
writs issued on June 20 and q py
Jndge Caron. Counsel for the accused
asked for delay to Tuesday next TO
reply. This delay was granted and
counsel for the prosecution was given
until Friday next to arrange the re-
plies of counsel for the defense.
Mr. Taschereau also moved that
Judge Caron fix a day for hearing on
thesmerits of the case, but the Judge
remarked that the motions to quash
the writs of habeas corpus had preced-
ence.

HUNDREDS rushed to the point and
with sobbing hearts awaited news

mine. At the opening across che river
from the Point, the Cambria Iron

ants stood guard, permitting no one
to enter the mine from which no3leus

could Be rendered bus the Srightful

The transfer of the customs headquarters will require special act of congress, but this will prob ably bs recommended within the next few months, and 1t Is believed that the neees' sary authority will be given.
 For commercial reasons many officials of the treasury department believe that the official center of the customs business of Alaska should be established at Juneau. This feeling Is due to the growing impor- tanc. of the shipping and customs interests
