LOOKING OUT FOR FARMERS.
Senator Smith Wants Sulphate of Am.
mOpia Retained on the Free List.

Washington, April 21.-Senator
Smith got in some good work for the
farmers Of South Carolina today when
he began his fight for the retention
of sulphate of ammonia on the free
list in the new tariff bill. Although
this commodity is placed under the
head of those that are to be admitted
free, Senator Smith feared that
through some means a duty might be
placed on it which would come out Of
the pockets of the farmers in the end.
He protested on the floor of the sem
ate today and secured permission to
place his remarks in the Congression-
al Record at length. He will do this
as soon as he can secure the neces-
sary data.
Should a duty be placed on this
commodity it would come out from
the agricultural people and the fer
tilizer manufacturers, and it will be
in the interest of these that Senator
Smith will make his fight.

the strength and vitality of his gov
ernment in the Moslem portion of
his dominions.
Moreover, he inaugurated a species
OF pan-Islamist movement extending
throughout Asia in one direction, and
from Northern Africa down almost
as far as the Transvaal in another.
What he lost in the southeastern cor
ner Of Europe, in Cyprus and in
Crete, as we'll as in Egypt, he may be
said to have regained in Central Af-
rica, which is occupied by immensely
powerful Moslem empires of Saracen
and Arab origin, which accepted his
suzerainty, while his influence in
Mohammedan Asia was so great, de-
spite all that is said to the contrary.
that the English did not hesitate to
ascribe to him the instigation of
those instructions of the fanatic
frontier tribes of India which gave
Great Britain so much trouble and
entailed the sacrifice of such a vast
quantity of English blood and treas
ure few years ago.
Moreover, the Sultan found the
sources of his strength, as far as the
dealings with the Western nations
are concerned, in the jealousy which
the various great powers entertain
for one another in connection with
the possession of Constantinople.
England threatened war with Rus
sia when the latter had her troops
at the very gates Of Constantinople
in 1877. and they were forced to re-
tire without fulfilling what has been
the dream of every Russian since the
days of Peter the Great. Should
France or England endeavor to
seize the Turkish capital by way Of
retaliation for some great wrong
done by the Sultan or his subjects,
there is no doubt that Russia, Ger
many and Austria would fly to arms
in order to prevent il. It is so
throughly agreed by all European
statesmen that the break up Of the
Ottoman Empire will result in al
great European war over the division
oe the carcasses that IL ii has been
the aim of all to preserve 1t from ex-
tinction, and even from harm.

cal Association.

Summerville. April 22.-Yesterday
morning found everything in readiness
~ the Pine Forest Inn at Summerville
for the general session Of the annual
convention of the South Carolina Med
ical Association. This was really the
first day Of the meeting Of the Asso-
citation proper, as the day before was
occupied with the transaction Of bust
ness by the House Of Delegates. The
principal part OF the day yesterday
was taken up in the reading of papers
by prominent physicians, all Of which
were listened to with great interest
by the 100 doctors. who crowded the
spacious dining room Of the Pine For
est Inn, where the greater part Of yes
terday's session was held. The read
ing Of papers was continued last night
until 10 o'clock, but after s o'clock
the convention was divided into two
parts. surgical and medical, the form
er holding its meeting in the rotunda
house in the yard Of the Pine Forest
Inn. while the latter continued its ses-
sion in the dining rooms with PEesi-
dent s. c. Baker presiding. 1t was
necessary for the members of the sur
gical section to elect a presiding Of
ficer aftr convening. on account of
the fact that none Of the vice presi-
dents are present at the convention.
Both bodies adjourned at 10 o'clock
last night in order to attend the re-
ception rendered them by local ply
sicians.
The meeting yesterday morning was
opened with an address by the Hon.
LeGrand Walker. Mr.. Walkers re-
marks were very we'll taken indeed,
and his wit and pleasing address de-
lighted the doctors and others who
happened to be in attendance. After
Mr.. Walkers address the meeting was
called to order by President S. C.
Baker and the Divine blessing was in
voked by the Rev. F. w. Amber.
Dr. F. Julian Carroll, chairman Of
the committee on arrangements, in a
spicy and extremely entertaining man
ner made the address of welcome in
the name of his committee, and was
responded to briefly but happily by
President Baker.
DR.. Baker, as president Of the Asso-
citation, then addressed the attending
doctors. His talk was decidedly un-
conventional and was especially pleas
ing on account of it's originality.

profound, yet thoroughly reposefuI
and his style marked by simpIicitv
and grace. The assistant director. Mr..

mas held his present position in Dres-
den for the past two years. IT is verv
unusual for Americans to be accorded
such honors abroad and it can safely
be said that he richly deserves his
good fortune. He conducted the or

one of the most difficult numbers of
the programme. 1t is not expected
that after heavy programme such as
was rendered tonight that the orches-
ira should respond to encores but to-
night Mr.. Olsen most graciousIy gave
the charming and familiar, BeautifuT

Der the entire audience was captiyat-
ed, with such exquisite taste was if
given.

ist Of the evening. None can claim
warmer place in the hearts of the
festival lovers than Mime. Jomeili. Her
dramatic soprano is so sympathetic
and so human and so pure that her

note dies from her lips. She was prob
ably best tonight in the Aria from
Louise" by Charpentier. She re-
sponded generously to encores. ap-
pearing five times more than the pro-
gramme called for.
Tonight the audience was not as
large as heretofore The cause is not
hard to guess, and though it means
progress and culture to other cites, IL
cannot but call forth a sigh Of regret
that this event, certainly the most
brilliant in the year for South Caro-
lima, should be less great in any re-
spect. The expenses of the associa-
ton are heavier than ever before. and
the receipts will be quite a bit smaller.
However these men who are giving,
the festival their support have long
taken such unusual civic pride in the.
undertaking that they are determined
not only not to permit these affair 10
suffer, but to add new vigor to thens
each year.
