AS to Removing The Constables.

Governor Heyward'S attention hav-
ing been called to the controversy IN
Greenville papers relative to the keep
ing of constables in that county af-
ter the dispensary has been removed,
he stated that he would observe the
custom which he had set in the Chero-
kee case at the beginning of this cpl
demic of voting out the dispensary.
He will remove the constables if he
thinks that the people OF a coEnty
in the exercise of their intention to
keep good faith will enforce the dis
pensary Jaw and maintain prohibi-
ton. But if it should appear that
these people of honest intention can
not enforce the law through the eff
forts of the regularly appointed peace
officers, he will, after consulting with
leading county and municipal officers
and citizens-restore the constables
to county which is unable otherwise
to cope with the blind tigers. With
reference to Greenville and Spartan
burg particularly, he said that the
result of the elections had not been
declared and he would not act until
then although he is keeping advised
of the arguments which are being
made pro and con.

Branch Died From Blows.

Annapolis, Nd, Special.-The pro-
secution used its heavy artillery In
the line of medical testimony during
Thursdays session of the court mar
tial which is trying Midshipman Mer-
iwether for manslaughter in connec-
ton with the death of Midsh:pmar
Branch. Important witnesses being
DIR. J. NJ. T. Finney, chief surgeon of
the Johns hopkins University, of
Baltimore DR.. Henry NJ. Thomas,
neurologist Of the same institution
and ]. C. Byrnes, the chief medical
officer attached to the Naval Acade
my.
The operation upon Midshipman
Branch, consisting of lifting and fold
ing over portion of the skull in order
to remove such blood clots as might
be formed, was performed by DR.. in
ney, and DR.. Thomas, the specialist in
that line, came to Annapolis at DR..
Finney's request in order to locate
from the symptoms the proper place
for the operation. Dr.. Brynes was
called in consultation with DR.. Stone
shortly after Branch had been brought
10 the hospital.
Much evidence of deeply interest.
ing, though sometimes technical char
acter, was given by the medical men,
One point of interest brought out in
explanation of the fact that the skull!
was opened on the right side, that the
nerves controlling one side Of the body
cross from the opposite OF the brain,
while the nerves controlling the facial
musles do not. 1t was further brought
out that the injury, though on the
right side. was occassioned by the
successive fist blows on the left side Of
the head. The injury was of the ma
ture blows to the skull on one side
of the head having the effect of fore
ing the brains against the walls of the
skull and causing compression in that
way.
All the medical officers gave it as
their very positive conviction that
Branch died from the effect of the
medically known as 'contre cop" the
blows he had received in his fight with
Meriwether.

There is no possible explanation OF
the cause of the fire, as the eompart-

been opened for two days, and there
were no signs of fire before the blaze
burst forth. The warehouse is owned
by Nixon and Danforth and the
building and contents were fully cov-

mated to be III the neighborhood Of

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS BETTER
Strike Fiasco and End Of Polish
Crisis Have Strengthened the
Hands of the Government.

st. Petersburg, By Cable-The pres
ent lull is giving the governments q
slight breathing spell. The strike t.
asco and the passing Of the polish
crisis have certainly temporarily
strengthened the hands of the govern
ment. Practically all danger OF the
necessity for dealing with an armed
uprising in Poland is regarded as over
and martial law will probably be abb
olished at the end Of the week. The
immediate question confronting the
cabinet is the electoral law. Premier
Witte and his colleagues have almost
reached the conclusion to base the
elections practically on universal sufs
frage.
A member of the cabinet who may
be conside red to reflect the views OF
the Premier said:
"The extreme wing Of the intelli-
gent Liberals still insist on fighting q
wind mill when they express fears OF
return to the old regime. That has
passed foverer. The Emperor's step
is irrevocable. The reports that his
resolution has been shaken are absoT
luteiy without foundation. Eeyerthe-
less, the country must be saved from
anarchy, and strong meaures ike
those measures instituted at Chernig.
of, Saratoff, Tamboff and Penza must
be taken where the occasion arises.
Neither in Russia nor abroad need
there be the slightest fears that the
government desires to retrace Its
steps,"
Speaking OF the Jewish questions,
the member of the cabinet said: For
the cabinet there exists no Jewish
question. It is not what should be
done, but bow to do it. We are abb
solutely of one mind that all the re-
strictions on the Jews should be aba
olishcd, but for the government to
decree equality without acton on the
part of the Douma would be tall OF
danger. The prejudice against the
Jews among the ignorant classes OF
Russia is not fancied. 1t is dcplor.'
