The British government Monday af-
ternoon sent urgent notes of protest
to the Russian government on the
subject Of the Russian attack on the

and the Russian ambassador in London.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne reach
ed London Monday afternoon and af-
ter gathering the latest details known
at the foreign office regarding the fir
ing on the British fishing boats by
the Russian squadron, proceeded to
Buckingham palace, where he had a
lengthy interview with King Edward.
The latter telographed message of
sympathy to the mayor OF Hull.
After the conference, Lord Lans.
downe addressed strong protest to
Ambassador Hardinge for presentation
TO the Russian government. Special
st ess Is laid on the callousness dis
plSyed by the Russians in not going TO
the assistance OF the fishormen. Lord
dress shall be made.
1t Is believed In government circles
that the Russian government will take
the earliest opportunity to give salts
faotion, and 1t appears to be expected
that Russia will explain the affair,
adding that the Russian officers had
reason TO believe that there were
mines. or ships with mines, in the
neighborhood where the fishing fleet
was attacked

POISONED WATERMELON
Kills Ike Dickson, n Negro, Near
Columbia.

Ike Dickson, negro who has lived
from hand to mouth" for number
Of years, and has been giving the
country people lot of trouble between
Columbia and Gadsden by pilfering
and stealing from the fields, died
Thursday In Columbia as result Of
partaking OF forbidden fruit. Ike is
only 20 years old, but beyond fishing
in deSultory fashion for a living he
has never worked, it is said, and has
been ordered OIL dozen farms on &C.
account Of his habits as vagabond
AMI his nightly pilferings OF the crops,
gardens and fowl houses. Several
farmers have threatened to shoot Ike
if he ever returned to their farms.
1t was reported Thursday night
that Ike's career had ended, that
several nights ago he had stolen q
watermelon from patch near Sims
station, and that the melon was loaded
to the rind with deadly poison for
Ike's benefit or for others OF his ilk.
Poor, trusting, contiding Ike carried
the enticing and bewitching object OF
his natural and hearty appetite to his
den and there did voracously satisfy
his yearning for "watermillion."
Shortly afterwards Ike was given a
rude physical start and then he knew
he had done 1t once too often, but he
was stoical and kept his muof shet
and sed nuthin.'" After while the
agony was too much for easygoing Ike,
and he went to a physician and
"fessed up" He was brought to Co.
lumbia and there he died.

More WhIskeY Sold.

Chief Constable IIammett in his
quarterly report last Thursday says:
by reference to the previous report
you will find that there is a consider
at lie decrease in the value OF the SELF
ures made and very heavy increase
In the sales of the dispensaries
throughout the state This, | think,
is attributed to the better enforce
ment Of the law. Certainly, tin re is
not as much liquor being brought into
the state rs formerly. Quite num-
Der OF persons who have been engaged
in retailing liquor have gone out of
the business and you will note that 27
illicit stills have been closed up. The
attention Of the beard Of directors has
been called TO number Of cases in
which parties, who have been granted
a permit to distill, have violated the
law, and favorable action by them Is
anticipated. l am pleased to report
that matters In this department. are
progressing very satisfactorily and |
am receiving assistance and encour-
agement from citizens all over the

be hopelessly beaten. 1t is only by
lifting the campaign on a high plane,
appealing to the independent vote Of
the country, that they can hope to
overcome the odds against them at
the start. That the campaign will
be pushed along lines resembling
those of 1892 there is considerable
evidence. The same class of people
who supported Mr. Cleveland then
are, with almost as much unanimity,
falling into line for Parker now. This
means new alignment of States and
OF electoral votes. Without this new
appeal, the Democratic cause would
have been hopeless. Its success today
depends upon the thorough and earn
est work, convincing country that the
restored Democracy means clean
and progressive national administra-
tton

THE COLUMBIA HOSPITAL.
Additions to BE Made Which Will
Greatly Increase 1t Facilities.

For some time tho in charge of
the Columbia Hospital have contem.
plated an addition to the present struc-
ture, which Is inadequate to the de-
mand almost GailY made upon 1t.
After consultation 1t has been decided
to make on addition which will In
crease the facility for accommodation
fifty per cent. A lso an operating build
ing will be erected. The plans were
inspected and Shand and LaFaye were
chosen as the architects.
The present main building now used
for private patients will be the nurses
quarters. This building is very COM
Portable and is fitted with hot water
heating apparatus, electricity and sim
liar conveniences. The two wards,
from the main building and are con-
nected by corridors, will be moved to
the west of the block on which the
hospital Is located, in the expectation
that In the future they will be repac-
ed by more modern buildings OF brick.
The plans now decided upon are al
most ready for the contractors to bid
upon and it Is hoped that ADVERTISE
meht for these bids will be made In
about three weeks
Connected with the :main building
(Which as said will be used for the
nurses home) by stone corridor,
running to the east, will be the oper-
ating building. This building, which
will have the same frontage as the
present main building on P.ain street,
will be IS by 3S feet in size and in ad-
dition to large operating room will
have an anaesthetizing room, a stefi,
liZing room, a stock room, a surgeons
room, etc.
Another corridor will connect the
operating building with the new wards
TO be erected, and which will be located
with 4 frontage OF 81 feet on Plain
street and l24 feet on the Harden
street side of the hospital. On either
side OF the entrance will be an Office
and a reception room. Running south
a corridor extends the length of this
building with room on either side.
There will be twenty five rooms, each
OF which will be provided with a full
length window to the floor. These win

moved to the terraces just ouSide of
the rooms will be connected with prl-
vate baths.
AT the rear OF this building will be
semi circular so,arium or sun parlor
constructed almost entirely Of glass
and for the use of convalesccnts in the
winter months.
The cost of the operating building
will be about $4,000 to $4,000. The
plans were furnished by G. @. Wilson,
architect, aud the contract has been
let to Geo. w. Waring. Ground for
this building will be broken in a few
weeks. Its beginning has been de-
layed by the fact that the location of
the other new structure had not been
definitely decided upon. This latter
E-ilding will cost about $l5, 900 and
as already said Is hoped to let the con-
tract In about three weeks. 1t is
probable that the additions will be
completed and ready for occupancy by
January first of 1905.
The Columbia Hospital is an institu.
tion which has struggled through
many vicclssitudes yet Is daily more
appreciated The testimony Of It's pa.
tients Is Its best advertisement.

NOUC Quill low lhCll VI CtlIo RCIlCld-
tion have ever made, with Cleveland
at the head Of the ticket attracting
the high-grade vote; with the genuine
strength OF the tariff reform issue
among the independents, and the
fight Of the German Lutherans over
the school question, the State was
swung into the Democratic column
by plurality OF about 3 per cent. of
the total vote. That Is the only time
the State has ever gone Democratic
on presidential vote since 1856. 1t
does not yet appear that there is TO-
day any sufficient approximation to
the conditions of 1892 to bring the
Parker electoral ticket near enough
to the level reached by the Cleveland
electoral ticket in 1892 to insure Dem
Ccraric success. But If the campaign
is pitched on a high plane, prospects
may improve before November.
REPUBLICAN, FIGHT FOR NEW YORK.
The Republicans intend to centre
their fight squarely on New York,
turning their heaviest artillery upon
the Democratic stronghold Of the
urban end Of the State. If it becomes
clear that they can bring out a SUM-
cient up State majority for Roosevelt
to offset what will obviously be a very
strong Democratic tide in the city,
the election will be over. But II the
Republicans lose New York, they will
still require the opposition to show
one OF these 3lvOte combinations
and that may not be an easy thing to
do.
a study of these groupings shows
that the Democrats must put their
best foot forward II they are to stand
any chances of winning. If they rest
content in getting out the Democratic
vote which has habitually gone to the
poles for the last ten years, they will

TERRELL IN HIDING.
Held His Watch on Workmen at the
 Mulcahy School.

School Inspector Tyrrell donned the livery of the sleuth yesterday and took LID d position i'll the bruShwood near the Mulcahy school for the purpose of getting a line on the movements or men i'll the employ of Contractor Dow ling. who were grading the school iot: MT Tyrrell pulled out bis watch ana held it in his hand while the men were filling couple of loads of loam and then emerged from his hiding place and walked across the lots to the boss and inquired how long it takes to fill cart with dirt. The foreman said that would depend on the size of the cart. the number of men and the kind of material. The inspector replied that the men didn't load up fast enough to suit him and that he had concluded to suspend operations until laborers could be secured who would strike a better gait. This explains why the work of grading the grounds in front of the school was stopped be- fore the job was finished.
 There was whole lot of sport over the affair and it seems the inspector didn't get as much information out of the scheme as he desired, for some body caught on to him before the workmen tackled the second cart and gave them the tip and then they pitch ed ill and filled it up in jiffy so that there was a vast difference in the time it took to fill the first load compared with what it did to do the second one. Now the question is did the men move with the same rapidity right along and is the alleged difference in the time of filling the carts due to some disorderly conduct on the part of MT Tyrrell's watch. Anyway, there is nothing doing there to-day and the subject is one of the principal topics in the neighborhood.
