President Roosevelt then sent the

was with Mr.. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay:
Congratulations and success to the
Pacific cable due your untiring ef-
forts"

received by Mr.. Mackay at 11.35, max
ing the time Of its transmission around
the world IL minutes. Mr.. Mackay re-

around the world eastward:
II thank you deeply for your mes

of the great east may prove q useful
factor to the commerce Of the United
States"
President Roosevelt received the
message at 12.O4a. The time consumed

Is represented as insisting that the pc
tition shall certainly go forward no
matter whether the Russian govern
rnent is willing to receive 1t or not.
Just what this all means Is difficult
TO say. AS matter of fact the gov
ernment Of the United States Is hardly
more warranted in sending such pc
tition than Russia would be warranted
in sending us a similar petition based
upon the lynching Of American Ne
sroes. The case is not exactly anala-
gous; but it. is analogous to the ex-
tent of interference by one nation In
the domestic affairs Of another. How
ever, but few people, either here or
abroad, seem to think that the Kishi-
neff matter Is any more than side Is
sue. In one of his recent public ut
terances President Roosevelt referred
plainly to what he designated as the
duplicity of Russia's attitude with re-
gard to Manchuria and there Is no rea-
son to doubt that this is at the bottom
of most of the existing feeling. 1t Is
also a fact that at this writing there
are twenty American warships in the
gulf of Pechili and that Russia has fif-
ty there. Against Russia's fifty, how
ever Great Britain and Japan have
fully one hundred, and there Is a be-
lief that this gathering means a great
deal more than mere accident. Russia
is pushing steadily and surely down
into China, and it is practically certain
that the other nations will either have
to fight or get out. The Kishineff
matter is a side issue.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, July 2.-The encamp-
ment was virtually brought to a close
| with the commencement exercises at
the auditorium of Winthrop college.
These exercises were very well attend =
ed. The friends Of the cadets In Rock
Hill, and they are legion, mustered IN
strong force. The programme was a
brief but interesting one. The Rev. A.
S. Booth, '85, made the opening pray
er; Gen. Edw. McCrady delivered the
address and the Rev. j. G. Johnes pro-
nounced the benediction. The address
on local and state history was mas
terly effort and was literally applaud
ed. Colonel Coward was very happy
in his remarks thanking the citizens of
Rock Hill for their lavish hospitality.
Eighteen young men were graduated,
the following securing their B. S. de-
gree: Copeland, McCracken, Giles,
Cole, Seybt.
The final complimentary hop to the
cadets was given last Tuesday night.
The attendance was very large, the
music was splendid, the arrangements
were perfect and when the strains OF
| Home, Sweet Home" were being watt
ed on the early morning breezes every
body voted 1t grand success, and the
partings were mingled with little
grief. The cadets have cretainly been
a pleasant lot Of Fellows" and we part
with them reluctantly. =

NOTWITHSTANDING the failure OF
Charleston grand jurors to back the
governor up in his efforts to enforce
the dispensary law, it must not be In
ferred that all Charlestonians are In
sympathy with perjured lawlessness
There are quite number Of good men
in Charleston who have no sympathy
whatever with what seems to be the
prevailing sentiment. During recent
visit to Charleston this writer had a
short talk on the subject with one Of
the leading men Of the city. Referring
to the efforts Of the governor to en-
force the law, this gentleman said: I
am aware that there Is considerable
amount Of feeling here against the
governor on account of the activity Of
the constables. A great many people
reason that because Charleston gave
him such hearty support Governor
Hayward ought not to interfere with
the whisky business here. That idea,
am sorry to say, is strong; but every
/ time I hear it expressed, I take occa-
sion to rebuke 1t. tell them that I
knew Clinch Hayward before he be-
came governor, and that he has never
been that kind of man. He is high
toned gentleman. He is no crank over
the dispensary law at all. and would
Very probably like to see it materially
modified: but you may depend upon
it, he will never violate his constitu-
tional oath to please anybody. He
would enforce that law, just as it
stands, against his dearest friend or
closest blood relative just as quickly
as he would against the meanest Negro
in the state" In the course Of his con-
versation this gentleman took occasion
to say that he himself was opposed to
the dispensary law; but at the same
time he glories in the manhood of
Governor Hayward, and he was proud
to say also that there were hundreds
of good men in Charleston who had no
sympathy whatever with the conduct
Of which the grand juries of the coun-
ty have been guilty.

Tiger Hunting In Charleston.
In Charleston last Saturday Consta-
BILE William Lykes saw a dray loaded
with barrel Of whisky and barrel of
beer emerge from a wharf The driver
was a Negro known to be in the en-
ploy of Vincent Chicco, the notorious
Italian tiger, and the constable called
upon the fellow to halt. Instead the
Negro whipped up his horse. and Con-
stable Lykes grabbed the bride. The
constable was dragged under the hoofs
of the animal; but he held on and cap
tured the booze. The Negro was sub
seque"+ly captured. The constable
was so badly injured that he had to
be sent to his home near Columbia.

That was the burden Of Negro dray-

enough in appearance, but with mar
velous capacity for holding beer S. A.

I'm the McCreery building a. the Union
depot and the constables have teen
watching him for some time. But they
couldn't catch Johnson-and yet the
folks do say that Johnson sold beer
when nobody else had any. Finally
the cOnstables went to Johnson's 8
house, which sets back in the middle
of the same block, and this place they
searched high and low. Bed ticks and
everything else were searched fruit
lessly. Finally one Of the constables
started to look behind the organ, and
when the fuss box" was moved, bot
tie OF beer fell out of 1t from some
hidden place. With this as starter
the constables were able to find over
five dozen bottles of the effervescent
malt. and beer, organ and all were
mounted upon dray wagon and start
