FOR JUDGE PARKER
South Carolina Delegates
not Instructed.
In Wisconsin There is Bitter Strife
Among the Republicans and Two
Conventions Will Sit
Today.
(By the ASSOCIATED Press

Columbia S. c., May 1S.-The South
Carolina Democratic State convention
today elected as delegates-at-large to
the st. Louis convention Senator b.
r.. Tillman, Governor d. G. Hayward,
Mayor Rhett of Charleston, and
State Chairman Willie Jones, of Co
lumbia. The Senator and Governor
were elected by reclamation. The only
other candidates was United States
Senator Latimer, who was not present
in the convention.
The delegates were not instructed,
but the unit rule was adopted A reso-
luton was passed calling for express
sions from the candidates as to the
Presidential nominee.
Responding, Senator Tillman de-
clared that Judge Parker was not OBJ
jectionable to him, but he could not
tell now how he would vote, because
conditions might change in a night.
Governor Hayward, Mayor Rhett and
Chairman Jones and the fourteen dis
trict delegates declared that as at
present advised they favored Judge
Parker Ex-Governor John G. Shep-
pard is among the district delegates.
The platform commendS the admin
iStratiOn of Governor Hayward and
the course in Congress of the United
States Senator'S from this State, ana
condemns the President for the APP
pointment of DR.. William d. Crum as
the collector of the port of Charleston.
On national issues it declares for such
a tariff as will compel the manufac-
turer to sell as cheaply at home as
abroad and demands economy in pub
lie affairs. There is no reference to
the platform of 1896 and 1900 and
none to the financial question.
The convention was harmonious and
there were no traces of former fac
tional divisions.
Z. M. Rucker, of Anderson, was
temporary chairman and d. S. Hen
derson, of Akin, permanent chair
man, the latter having defeated eX-
Governor NJ. b. McSweeney, of Hamp-
ton, for the position.

AN UNDESIRABLE FIsH.-It seems
that the years of endeavor to introduce
the black bass as food fish into our
western lakes, and which proved such
wonderful success, in many of them,
is now modified by the knowledge that
the bass is an aggressive neighbor and
actually exterminates all other smaller
species that share his appropriated
habitat. Strict measures are to be
taken to keep the species from passing
into salt water, for fear that it may
destroy the young salmon. The U. S.
Fish Commissioner has suggested to
Senator Foster, who has been voicipg
the clamor for black bass, that land
locked salmon be substituted, or white
fish, both of which are game fishes,
and afford equal sport for fishermen,
which is urged in behalf of the bass.

To the Honorable County Commissioners of
Thursto" County, Washington:
The undersigned citizens and taxpay-
ers of Thurston county, respectfully rep
resent that the Tumwater road, between
Olympia and Tumwater, is one of the
most travelled and important roads in the
county, and the only one leading into the
capital city from the south; that its pre-
sent condition could be. and ought to be,
greatly improved, in the interests of the
public; that the property owners have
expressed in writing their readiness to
grant the land necessary to make it 80
feet wide, without cost to the county, and
that no improvement could be more ben
eficial and desirable than to convert this
road into fine broad avenue, bordered
by noble spreading shade trees, with gra-
veled road and bycicle path.
Therefore we petition your honorable
body to establish and lay out said county
road from the point where it crosses the
south boundary of Olympia, near the
head OF Main street, TO the point where
it intersects Cleveland Avenue and the
east boundary Of Tumwater, with q uni
form width Of eighty feet, to fix a suita.
BILE grade to said road, to macadamize OF
gravel one-half for vehicles, and to plant
shade-trees along its sides. In case the
work of grading and crawling the whole
road be deemed too expensive at this
time, we ask that at least it be laid out
and portion thus improved this Fall.
Very respectfully.

A FEARFUL FORECAST FROM LABOR
TRoUBLEs.--One result of labor con-
flicts which inevitably follows defeat,
a twist Of the screws turn tighter, is
now in evidence at Chicago. The en-
ployers, have taken advantage OF starv.
wing labor and the prevailing distress
OF many classes of people, as is shown
special OF the 3Oth ult., announcing a
resolve to wrest the city from its posi-
ton as the stronghold OF organized
labor in America. A closing of the
Pullman car-shops, which has been
declared the policy for next month, il
is averred, is the beginning OF policy
of national scope. 1t is estimated that
225,OOO men employed in the indus.
trial works of the country are in mo.
mentary peril OF being made idle.
The war of capital and labor is rapidly
assuming national proportions, and
the organization on both sides presages
a desperate struggle. May it not
come to one of bloodshed, although
the strain is fearful at time. and a
word may fire the trains that leads to
a conflict even more deplorable from
greater results than the Cripple Greek
horror.
