were defended by 16 of the lesi

Carolina and after a desperately
contested trial were convicted and
sentenced to be hanged.
"John l.. Manning was then
governor of the State. The legis-
lature was pledged to elect him to
the United States senate This
legislature potitioned him for
commutation of the sentence with
the implied threat that if it was
OF granted he would not be elect

the wealth and influence of this
portion of the State was brought
to bear but the .Igovernor stood
firm. He pointed out the atroci-
Gus nature of the crime and that
a jury of slave owners and pIan-
terS had condemned the perpetra-
tors. Finally, thc's sheriff notif-
ed him that he had been offered
800, 900 in gold to escape with
his three prisoners TO Charleston
where ship was in readiness to
take them to South America. The
sheriff also sent the governor
proofs: of the fact that powerful.

groans, tears and prayers of the

WATCHING The CAR.
Emperor Wilhelm's jealousy Of
Russia a Good Thing for
Scandinavians.
Germans Still Cypress schleswig but
Promise to Be More
Lenient. .... =.

Danes in America do not look for any
decisive change of Germany's policy to-
wards the provinces Of SchlesWig' and
Holstein Notwithstanding the late report
that Emperor William intends to cultivate
the good will of Scandinavians as an OFF,
set to the cZar's aggression along the
Swedish border. s. .
TT is no doubt true said a Mime
apolis Danish journalist familiar with the
sentiment Of his countrymen, that Den
mark, as we'll as Norway and Sweden,
profits from the jealousy between Ger
many and Russia. Emperor William Is
worried at the possibility Of the ,czar's S
man empire. While William Is trying to
defend himself on the east, he would be
glad to secure more friends on the north.
1t has even been proclaimed by the i'm
perial chancellor in the reichstag that
oppressive measu against the Danes OF
Schleswig will be relaxed.
THE emperor has recently entertained
the crown prince Of Denmark at Berlin
with a great show Of friendliness. And
about April ., William intends to pay a
visit to Copenhagen to the old King OF
Denmark. 1t will not be a long visit
only one day; perhaps it will be longer,
though. than the emperor's previous visits
to the Danish capital. He wasn't re-
ceived by the public with any ,enthusi-
asm. .2...
Yet the German officials in Scheswie
continue to impose upon all residents OF
that province who can't forget that Danes
constitute almost it's entire population
and that it was annexed by force to Ger
many only thirty nine years ago. Oldel
people. born Danes. consider themselves
still as Danish citizens. They still re-
fuse to adopt the German language o.
customs. The government is always OF
the lookout to expel these persisten
Danes. The least pretext is sufficient
let a Dane be heard singing one OF hi
od-time patriotic songs, he is notified a
once to start for the frontier within thre'
days. German, as everyone knows, Il
the official language in Schleswig, the Ian
guage Of the schools and the courts o
justice. even Of the pulpit. Persons ar
allowed to talk Danish on court whel
unable to speak German. Pastors must
if requested. preach once month il
Danish. But these privileges are Tough
bitterly by the German officials. Only las
week a man who was pronounced Ger
man by one court was found to be a Dan
by another court and was sent over tn
| frontier.
II don't belieye that the Scandinavian
| fear any actual invasion by either Ger
many or Russia. Neither does Denmark
count on the support Of Russia or Eng
land. She hopes that by maintaining
rigid neutrality she may be declared
neutral territory after awhile by the com
mon consent of Europe"
