as governor I could not do anything on freight rates; that I ought to stay on the Commission where could prom ise to reform freight rates. They say now. after two and a half years that the office for Conner is the Railroad Commission, and that the last place you ought to put him Is governor. Why this change. They have found out as president of the commission I can't do anything, and they know, as your gov ernor. and you controlling your state commission and the Legislature, nam ing true men and good men. the whole thing would be settled at once; and if that be true, why not do it? If that be true why take a chance? You have gone through your cotton meeting today and you have shown that you should stand together and pass certain rules? You have shown that If you could name higher prices for your cotton you would do it.
 Don't you know that railroads would name higher prices if they could do it? What you want Is law made rates. No body, no State, that doesn't protect it's people, Is behind the times They say that if you do this, you will stop rail- road building and do great harm in many other things They said the same thing In Texas.

MAY ABOLISH
DISPENSARIES
Bill Of That Intent Passed in the
South Carolina House.
SENATE IS YET TO ACT
Measure Provides for Local Option,
Whereby Each County Can Choose
Local DispenSarY Or Prohibition.

By majority the house Of repre-
sentative of South Carolina Friday
passed the Morgan bill, which pro-
vides for the adjustment of the state
dispensary. The new measure pro-
vides for local option in the counties
that is, each county may have
dispensary, under county control, or
prohibition. The high license feature
was eliminated in order to secure the
passage Of a bill which would remove
the dispensary as a state Institution.
The bill now goes to the senate,
but that body has d bill of its own
which provides for the retention Of
the state dtspensary under a new form
Of management.
The matter is engaging more atten-
ton than any other matter before the
general assembly. To forecast the
probable action Of the senate on the
Morgan bill would be the merest
guess work. AS one senator stated, he
would not attempt to forecast the &C
tlon Of the higher body until the vote
was taken.
1t was rumored in the Hobbies, how
ever, that the Morgan bill at thistime
had a majority of six votes in the
sena&o. AS the bill will hardly be
UP in the senate for week or ten
days it is impossible to say what the
sentiment may be at that time.
The Morgan bill is lengthy in detail,
but the more important features ara
that the present dispensary restric-
lions which provide that liquor shall
not be sold in less quantity than half
pints, no sales after shutdown nor
drinking on the premises are retain
ed. Counties may Immediately vote
for "sale or no sale" on petition Of
one-third Of the qualified voters, but
a vote cannot be had oftener than ev-
cry four years. No counties which
have voted out the dispensary-six-
teen in number-can vote for sale
or no sale" under two years from the
passage Of the bill.
The chief reason for the change is
the alleged corruption which has been
unearthed by the legislative investi
eating committee, which has just been
granted enlarged powers, and which
promises to bring out even more sen
sat.onal evidences Of graft.

WIDOW DOtFS Hex WEEDS
Relict Of Millionaire Yerkes Again Be-
comes Bride After Less Than Five
Weeks Of '"Mourning.'

A New York dispatch says: Three
days less than five weeks from the
death Of Charles T. Yerkes, the trac-
ton king, who died on December 20,
his widow was Wednesday night mar
ried to Wilson Miner, of San Frau
cisco. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Andrew Gillies, pastor OF
st. Andrew Episcopal church.
J. L. Eastland of San Francisco
confirmed the report of the marriage
of Mrs. Yerkes. Mr.. Eastland was a
witness to the ceremony, which took
place at the Yerkes' residence on
Fifth avenue. The other witnesses
were Emile Brugere, also of San
Francisco, and Mrs. Goodsell, a wo-
man companion Of Mrs. Yerkes.
For years before the death Of her
husband, Mrs. Yerkes and he had been
estranged, and during his last illness
she several times refused to go to his
bedside, but reIented just in time to
be present at his death.
The main cause OF the rupture in
the Yerkes family was supposed to be
the alleged relations OF Mr.. Yerkes
with several young women, notably
Emile Grigsby, the Kentucky girl, on
whom he is said to have lavished
thousands, but failed to remember in
his will. It is now declared that she
is about to bring suit against the es-
tate for 100000.
While it is known that Miss GrigS:
I by is in her Park avenue home, she
still refuses to be interviewed rela-
tive to the linking fiber name with
that of the dead financier. Although
she has been informed that the press
has knowledge Of the proposed suit,
she positively refuses to say anything
about the matter, remaining as she
did all through the Yerkes scandal,
in seclusion, denying herself to news,
paper reporters.

FARMERS WIN ONCE MORE
Resolution Passes Congress Demanding
That Census Director Produce the
Figures Of Ginners.

A Washington special says: The
house at Fridays session called for
the estimate Of cotton yet to be gin
ned, which the director of census
has compiled, but which he has no
authority to make public until March.
This action precipitated lively dis
cussion in which petulance was ex-
pressed that the house should par.
ticipate in furnishing information for
the benefit of the spectators.
On the other hand there were nu-
merous members, who stated that tbs
substantial interests Of grower, spin
ner and merchant made it Imperative
that such information should not be
allowed to be bottled up. There was
no opposition to the resolution on its
passage
The discussion of the railroad rate
bill was taken up and prosecuted with
vigor throughout the day. So many
speakers have come to the front on
this measure that the house agreed to
meet at II o'clock hereafter until
the debate is ended. The feature Of
the debate was the lengthy speech
of Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania, who
arraigned the legislation with argu-
ments of varied character, all OF
which tended to give his reasons for
being unalterably opposed to the
bill
When he charged that the legisla-
ton was socialistic in it's nature, and
was a step towards government own
ership and the dream Of Bryan and
Hearst, Mr.. James of Kentucky asked
what the reason was for the right
about face of the republican party
in the direction Of the Bryan leader
ship.
Il will gracefully place the respon-
sibility on my colleagues Of broader
shoulders" retorted Mr.. Sibley, and
when Mr. James, who is quite bald,
sat down shaking his head. Mr.. Sib-
ley remarked to the great amusement
of the house: Don't shake your CORY
locks at me-"
"Oh, the gentleman's hair is nearly
as absent as my own" responded Mr.,
James.
Mr.. Sibley said he would advocate
larger salaries for the members Of
the interstate commerce commission,
and would content himself with voting
against the bill.
A speech by Mr.. Hefin Of Alabama
also favoring the bill concluded the
days debate.
Director Of the Census North was
promptly notified Of the passage by
the house Of the resolution Of Repre-
sentative Sims Of Tennessee, calling
FOR statistics OF the census bureau on
the amount Of cotton remaining IN
ginned on January 16. In anticipa.
ton of such action, he had already
begun preparing the figures.

HAFcHETs USED on TIE DOORS.

french Officials Have Strenuous Jo5 il
Joking Church Property Values.
A Paris special says: The church
OF st. Pierre du eros Caillnu was the
only one where an inventory had been
ordered to be taken Friday in accord
ance with the law providing for the
separation of church and state. The
authorities adopted rigorous measures
to repress disturbances by Catholics
who gathered at the church.
The project of police, M. Lepine,
thrice summoned the congregation to
open the inside gates, which the peO-
pie refused to do. Firemen were
then ordered to f-rce an entrance,
using their hatchets.

CHURCH DOORS
FORCED OPEN
Catholics Resist Operation Of New
French Statute IN Paris.
THE GOVERNMENT IS FIRM
Guardsmen are Called 0ut to QuelI
Row Which Started in Move to Make
inventories of Church Property.

A Paris special says: A socialist
deputy, M. Allard, interpellated by
the government in the chamber Fri
day afternoon relative to the meas
ures which it was intended to take
to protect the government commits
sioners in carrying out their instruc-
tons to make inventories of the prop
erty of the churches.
Premier Rouyier replied that the
authorities had orders to use tact
and moderation during the operations,
but the government was determined
to do its duty at any cost, even en-
ploying armed force il necessary.
In the meantime the opposition Of
the clergy to the taking of invento-
ries is becoming more formidable.
While the minister was being inter-
pellated in the chamber, scenes Of
extreme violence were transpiring ut
the Church of ST. Clothilde, near the
chamber OF deputies.
The church had been filed since
early morning. Before the govern
ment commissioner appeared, a police
official attempted to induce the clergy
to permit an inventory to be taken,
received severe maltreatment, while
outside the policeman and mounted
municipal guards were compelled to
adopt the sternest measures in order
to dispense the turbulent crowds.
Repeated charges occurred, leading
to fifty arrests. Among those taken
into custody were two priests. Ths
crowd eventually became so violent
in the Rue de Grenelle that the police
drew their swords, which, however,
they did not use. Many persons, in.
GLIDING some policemen, were injured
during the fighting. The project OF
police, Mr.. Lepine, personally super
intended the maintenance of order,
BIZ Respite the fact that he repeat
edl counselled calmness, was unable
to restore quiet.
Eventually the fire engines were or
dered to take up a position near the
church so as to be able if necessary
to drench the crowd which obstinate
ly refused to move, the women show
ing the greatest determination, open
ing umbrellas for their protection and
in the meanwhile chanting psalms.
NJ Lepine ordered the municipal
guards and police to enter the church.
Under a shower of broken chairs
the officers broke down the ratings
in front of the entrance, while the
crowd rained heavy blows on them.
The fremen burst in the doors AMI
the police and municipal guards en-
tered the buildings. One OF the prin-
cipal officers was severely wounded.
Inside the church the congregation
had erected a barricade which had
to be taken by assault while men
and women tainted. After the church
had been cleared the commissioner
proceeded to take an inventory, tho
Catholics outside singing canticles.

The Seine has issued instructions to
the clergy to give up the keys of the

A Carload of Provisions was Sent Out Last
 Night
Another Will Go Tonight and Still Another Tomorrow Night-A Relief Fund of $IO,ooo Was Collected in Few Hours.

If the people of San Francisco could know and fully appreciate the depth of sympathy for them felt by the peo- pie of this valley and but partially ex- pressed in the action taken yesterday. it would do them almost as much good as q square meal. Never has any thing occurred before in the west that so universally brought to the surface mems best nature and their finest sen timents. Creed. politics. and re ligion were absolutely forgotten in a keen anxiety to do good in response to kindly impulses. T..e Salt River valley is not a rich community, save in natural resources yet to be developed. No millionaires are found among her citizens. and few who require six figures to indicate their wealth. It is a young country. community of home builders mos of whom started with nothing but pluck. good sense. and industry But between sunrise and sundown yester- day relief fund of over SIP. 1000 was provided for and over half of il was raised in cash before dark Last night carload of butter, cheese eggs smoked and canned meats bedding and other things was sent out via the Santa Fe.

was a snort discussion as to plans and methods. It was deemed best for the board to take charge as an organized relief committee. It required no argu- ment to convince all that what is needed in San Francisco is not money. but food and bedding There were some who could give these things bet ter than money. The rest could give money to buy these necessities here and start tlem to the city, ready ana available for use immediately on ar rival. It was apparent that meat was a prime necessity. but it was easily demonstrated that dressed beef woulG be much better than live cattle which are hard to transport and with no fla cilities for slaughter at the other end The Hurley and Tribolet slaugatering houses were placed al the disposal of the relief committee in this way These gentlemen offered to slaughter free. all beef cattle donated for this purpose. The Constable storage ware house was offered as a cooling room to prepare the meat for shipment As an alternative offer by the Hurley firm beef would be sold for cash in such quantities ais might be wanted at four and quarter cents per pound. which is remarkably cheap; in fact at cost or less IL is likely that both plans will be utilized to some extent. to fill out the necessary car lots. It was ar ranged that those bringing cattle from the west end should drive them to the Hurley slaughter house. and those east of the city to the Tribolet slaughter house.
 Then there was the New York store donation of 10 per cent of it's cash sales for the last two days. It was remembered that bedding. blankets etc. was equally as much needed as food, and it was decided that the frse shipment should include these things 10 the amount of the New York stores donationg and it was so ordered.
