FOSS BEGINS ANTI-LODGE FIGHT
Severely Criticises Senator i'm Speech
at Provincetown.

ProvincetoWn, Mass. Dec. 1.-The
speaking campaign Of Governor-elect
Eugene n. Foss, Of massachusetts,
against the return of Henry Cabot
Lodge to the United States Senate
was opened here tonight. In begin
ming his address, Mr.. Foss said that
the verdict of the people OF the Cape
Cod district in electing him to Con-
ress last spring sealed the doom of
Cannonism." compelling the National
Administration to seek reciprocal
trade relations with Canada, caused
Senator Aldrich and Hale to lab
dicate THEN seats IL the United States
Senate" and gave to the country at
large the first real hope of tariff re-
vision.
Speaking directly of Senator Lodge,
Mr. Foss said:
Working in silence and secrecy.
he resorts to his Self-constituted po-
litical machine. the machine which
IdS NpilIIldlcu MASSACHUSETTS, DOiltl-
cally for years. Tie is seeking the
counsels of those whom he serves, the
privilege interests, and has ignored
the verdict of the people. He has ig-
nored the fact that he should repre-
sent the people and considers that
he is the representative of the special
Interests, believing that their endorse
ment is all sufficient for hiri.
"What legislation in the interests
of the people bears his name?" asked
Mr.. Foss, in assailing Senator Lodges
record in the Senate aud answered
his own question by saying: "Only
one bill that | recall bears his name
and that is the force bill--a meas
ure that causes every honest man to
blush"

MAXWELL ORpHANAGE BURNED
No One Hurt, Fire Having Occurred
Near Noon When Occupants Were
Not In Structure.

Greenwood, Dec. 1.-The conven-
ton building, a handsome two-story
building at the Connie Maxwell or
phanage, was completely destroyed by
fire shortly after noon today. Fortu-
nately all the inmates were out Of
the building, being at school, but very
piece of their clothing was burned up
In the building The home was oc-
cupied by boys from the ages of s
to IL years.
When discovered the fire was on
the roof Of the building and had
made such headway that there was
no hope of saving it. Mrs. c. C. Nc
Daniel, the matron, and her assistant.
Miss Sherwood. were the only occu-
pants of the building, and they were
engaged in cooking dinner for the
boys at the time the fire was discoy-
cred
The building cost $4,000 when
erected eight years ago, and would
cost $4,000 to replace Two thousand
dollars insurance was carried.
An interesting coincidence Is that
the building had its inception in a
motion made by Rev. w. B. Oliver,
then pastor at Florence, that the
Baptist State convention, then in
session in Greenville in 1902. raise
the money then and there for a new
building and that the building thus
secured should be burned down eight
Years after while the convention was
In session. Still more peculiar il
burned down while Superintendent
Jamison was engaged in the very
act of making his report to the con-
vention.
Supplies of clothing for the bows
VIII be welcomed and are coming in
from town now.
The news of the burning of the
convention building having been
learned at Laurens where the Raptist
convention was i'm session a move
ment was started at once to raise
funds necessary for its rebuilding. In
a very short while $4,000 had been
pledged, which together with the
$1,000 insurance. will be enough r.
restore the building promptly.

New York, Dec. 2.-It has been

from 10000 to 10000 bales, some

observers, who do not understand
why the cotton should be thrown

The hedge selling by the South has
been steady and spot interests have

generally expected to do so until the
market has shown its ability to ad-

COTTON BILL GUARANTEE.
ENGLISH BANKERS WILL pAx-
COST OF VALIDATING BILLS
OF LADING.
Ihcy Also Recede from Demand
That All Bills of Lading After De-
cembcr 81 BE Guaranteed by Amer
lean Cotton Exporters.

New York, Dec. Cotton men in
thls city who resented the efforts
made this fall by the European
bankers committee, headed by Sir
Edward Holden Of the London Civ
and Midland bank, to compel cotton
houses here to insure the validity of
their bills Of lading end to force them
to incur the expense Of providing a
surety company guarantee. heard
with some satisfaction today that.
following the formal abandonment of
the European demand for guarantees
on all bills issued ater December 81
Sir Edward Holden is planning to OBJ
tain from American surety comnanies
guarantees on all bills of lading
which he may purchase, the premium
to be paid by him instead of by the
American cotton merchant or the
American bank handling these cot
ton bills.
1t was understood that Sir Ed
""iu purpose TO pay the premium
eXacted by the surety companies and
himself provide the guarantees which
American cotton interests refused 70
give had taken definite shape, but
those in position to speak author
itatively on the subject, while adj
m!tting that such a plan was under
way. denied that the discussion be-
tween Sir Edward and the surety
companies had taken definite form.
Meanwhile the European commit
tee has withdrawn the demand that
all American cotton bills accepted by
European bankers after December 81
be guaranteed. The impression has
prevailed for some time that this
course would be taken by the Euro
pean bankers, but their formal action
now gives assurance that the ac-
ceptance of cotton bills will proceed
without interruption.
Sir Edward in attempting to pro-
vide himself for the guaranteeing of
all cotton bills which his bank may
accept Is regarded as breaking aNay
from his fellow bankers on the other
side, some Of whom were not so keen
for guarantees at any stage Of the ne
gotations 1t is believed here that
If the Holden plain is carried through
the customers of Sir Edwards bank
for whom cotton bills will be ac-
cepted will be called upon to cover
the cost Of guarantee.
The tentative plain which was
worked out by group OF surety
companies here at the instance Of Sir
Edward provided for a guarantee by
group Of surety companies, fnclud-
ing the American and national COM
panies. at a minimum cost of cents
bale. This is the charge which will
have to be paid by Sir Edward. From
such information as could be obtained
today the surety companies are dis
posed to provide the guarantee for
Sir Edward, who will probably un-
dertake to assure a stipulated amount
Of business.

presses Friendly Sentiments for
Other Nations.

Mexico City, Dec. 1t is very
gratifying to me to say that my
heart Is full Of aith in the progress
OF a people who, like the Mexican,
mas known how to conquer by it's own
efforts a place among the lovers OF
toll. after having proved it's valor in
war in patriotic defence of country,
and that never as today could 1 de-
clare that Mexico belongs definitely
to the group Of nations of assured
stability because against the firm
guarantee Of peace which We possess,
no influence tending towards its dis
solution can now or ever shall be
able to prevail.
"As to the relations between Mexico
and the United States and other
friendly nations, never have they
been more, cordial, as was indicated
In a convincing manner during the
celebration of the centennial OF Mex
ico's Independence"
The above is the authodized mos
sage Of President Diaz to all nations
one the eve of his Inauguration, for
the eighth time as Chief Executive
OF the Mexican nation, given express
ion thrcug the medium Of the AS
sociated Press.
Peaceably, and seemingly as hap
py termination of the turmoil through
which the nation has just passed, the
ceremonies attending the taking of
the oaths Of fealty by Gen. Diaz and
Ramon Corral, recently reelected to
the Presidency and Vice Presidency,
respectively, were conducted today.
There was no discordant note and If
the occasion was shorn Of some of its
brilliant festive features. Of former
years, by reason Of recent disturb
ances, there was no lack of dignified
ceremonial.
Notwithstanding a realization on
the part Of every one that the DOS
sibility Of any attempt by foes Of the
Diaz Administration to interfere with
today's inauguration was remote,
there was feeling Of relief apparent
among the people at large, which
doubtless was shared by those in
authority, when the event was hap
PLY concluded.
