Hon. WIN. d. CRUM has at last been
confirmed as Collector of the Port at
Charleston, South Caroline, and Senator
TILLMAN's great fight against him is at
an end. President RoosEVELy did not
yield an inch and his position in the
after won the enthusiastic support of
his admirers and compelled the respect
OF his traducers.
There is no doubt but what the atti-
tude of the Negro-haters tended to dis
gust the conservative elements through
out the United States.
The only charge against DR.. CRUM
was that of color and he is performing
the duties of the office satisfactorlally.
BY the way, DR.. CRUM is certainly a
type of the fighting South Oarolinian
and as to the report that he will resign,
we shall believe it when we see it in
black and white with the distinguished
southerner's name attached in plain
English.

then awaited the arrival from Clarks-

until after midnight.
When the governor arose he took
bath and began TO dress, preparatory
to attending church services. A sudden
fall attracted the attention of Mrs.
Lowndes, who was in the room. She
summoned assistance, and the uncon-
scious form was placed upon the bed.
Physicians were hastily summoned
and were quickly at the bedside. but
death had ensued before their arrival.
Death was due to heart failure.

Attempt to Bow Up Statue of Fred
erick the G rSat 10 Create Sensation

Attempt to = sow Up Statue of Fred
erick the Great 10 Create Sensation.
Washington, i'm 11.-Somewhat Of
= sensation was caused in this city by
the discovery OF what appeared to be
definite and serious attempt to blow
up or deface the statue of Frederick
the Great, given To the United States
by Emperor William, of Germany, and
erected in the arsenal grounds near
the Army War College. It was be-
heved at first that crank had made
a real effort at destruction of the
statue, but after a careful investiga-
ton the police officials say the ma
terial used was incapable of produc-
ing damaging results. All the evidence
so far secured, the police announced,
tends TO show that the attempted eff
fort to injure the statue was puny
and amateurish TO q degree. 1t is re-
garded as an attempt to work up a
sensation. The police are making a
thorough investigation, but thus far
have not discovered any clue as to the
identity of the perpetrator Of the af-
fair, the man who placed the bomb"
near the statue disappearing before
Identification. A hole in the soft mud
about six inches deep by six inches
wide and IL inches long, shattered
window panes in nearby buildings, and
five or six splotches of yellow clay on
as many granite steps summed up
the damage done by the bomb, which
had heen placed on a high picket
fence surrounding the statue An
analysis and examination of the bomb
shows the substance used had not suf-
ficient strength to wreck the fence.
One effect of the explosion was the
hurried building of small watch box
beside the statue. where a Waterman
will be stationed all the time here
after.
