Spanish Premier Blamed.

The Vatican attacks Premier Canale-
jas, declaring that he premeditated rup-
ture. as from the beginning OF the differ
ences he has on every occasion pos
sible taken two steps backward in the
negotiations for every one that he has
taken forward. Indeed since the negO-
tiations with the holy see with reference
to religious congregations began, the
premier has taken the following steps an
ia gonistic to the Vatican:
First, the issuance of an unconstitu-
tional decree favoring non-Catholic
creeds. thus violating the concordat with
the holy see second, the reproduction of
the decree Of 1902 against the congrega-
tions, which was never in force; third,
the preparation Of the speech from the
throne which contained hostile and
threatening expressions against the
church: fourth, the projected bill prohib-
iting the institution of religious houses.
This attitude of the premier, the
Vatican says, shows that the Spanish
government had always aimed contrary
to that accord which it pretended to
desire. The holy see repeatedly asked
that the government assume a differ
ent attitude. pointing out that it was
impossible to carry on negotiations
efficaciously when the second party
showed such hostility.

Ambassador Is Recalled.

Premier Canallias answered by recall
ing the Spanish amba ssador. and this
says the Vatican, is q clear confession
of his true program, although he has
always said that he was >obeying the
will of the country
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary of state. has been especially
affected by the rupture with Spain.
1t is reported that he went to the
Pope and offered his resignation. which
the pontiff refused.
SAN SEBASTIAN, July 3O-Marquis

Excitement Subsiding.

Troops reached Palestine early tonight
and established quarters at the county
prison, where, it is planned, they will re-
main until tomorrow, unless further riot
ing necessitates q night march to the
scene of the disturbance. about twenty
tive miles distant 1t is reported. how
ever that at nightfall the beliigerents
began to disperse and further bloodshed
will IN all probability be averted
The first advices of the disturbance
reached palestine this morning. Officers
were sent to the scene. local ammunition
stores were ordered to suspend sales and
the saloons to close. 1t was quickly ap-
parent. however. that the situation was
beyond the control of the local officers
and troops were asked for. A company
of militia under command of Capt. God
frey Fowler, former United States Army
officer and more recently engaged in Mic
aragua IN the cause of the insurgents,
was dispatched from Marshall, Tex.

Several Causes Assigned.

The rioting began late yesterday near
the village of Elccum. Several reasons
are assigned as the cause of the racial
feeling, first the refusal of a negro to pay
an obligation for which a white Trainer
stood sponsor. This was several days
ago. Later it was said white man re-
ceived notice that he should perform road
work under the supervision of negro.
The white man refused. Subsequently
came reports Of secret meetings among
the negroes and an alleged confession OF
a negro that the murder of the men in
question James Spurger and his family,
was planned.
The situation reached a. climax yes
terday when a negro was discovered
advancing on Spurger from the rear,
armed with shotgun. He was trailed
for some distance and shot by posse
when he refused to surrender
With the shooting OF the negro those
OF both races armed themselves and
the r1oting quickly followed.

From, The Daily Item, Sept. 7.
The board Of County Commission
ers held their regular meeting at the
court house yesterday, all Of the
members being present.
A petition, signed by numerous
citizens, was presented, asking that
public road to run as follows he
granted by the county: Beginning
at the Mayesvile road, one mile from
Whites mill. and continuing to Fox
worth's mill, intersecting the public
road at that point.
1t was agreed that this road be
granted, provided that the citizens
put the road in travelling condition
with the road hands and that all
rights of way be granted by the prop
erty owners through whose lands the
road runs.
The admission of Lizzie Davis to
the poor house was reported and this
action confirmed.
Mr.. w. j. Ardis asked that he be
granted a Confederate pension of 81
per month by the county, but his
request was refused, the board agree
ing that he did not come under the
class covered by the act governing
the distribution of these pensions.
A petition was presented from a
number Of citizens asking that the
balance of the road from Stateburg to
Sumter be clayed. This petition was
refused. the board deciding that as
the people of the Stateburg neighbor-
hood had already been given several
miles Of the best roads leading to
Sumter, it was only fair that other
portions of the County have SOM
thing done for their roads before
further work was commenced on the
Stateburg road.
1t was agreed by the board that
the county. would accept the male
convicts of the City, fit for work on
the chain gang, and pay for them al
the rate Of Sc per month for each
convict, the county to be reimbursed
for cost of transportation Of each
prisoner to the gang in case of his
release before the expiration of his
sentence.
The board then adjourned.

Taft deliver one of the best speeches
of his career, before the Conservation
Congress today, missed hearing some
very pointed remarks in the after
noon delivered by Governor Stubbs,
of Kansas
The Kansas Executive pulled his
sleeves upto give his arms full swing,
loosed his necktie to give play to his
vocal orgahs and proceeded to re-
mark that if he had the power he
would kick Secretary Balliner out
of office. Later in private, Cover
nor Hay, of Washington, took oc-
cassion to inform Governor Stubs
that he considered Secretary Bal
linger as white a man as the United
States can boast.
After stating that the people Of
this country should erect monument
to Clifford Pinchot for saving the coal
lands Of the country. Governor Stubs
declared:
Would Lose no Time.
II don't take any stock in this Bal
linger idea of running things. If I
were President of the United States
/ would kick him out of office in a
minute. I'd like to see some of these
Alaska coal thieves. I'd put them
where they belong"
This brief pointed remark, deliv-
cred in vitriolic style, was called forth
by remarks of Governor Norris, of
Montana who, in advocating State
control of national resources, declar-
ed that Montana had begun the con-
servation of her resources before the
