GIRL POSSIBLY ALIVE /?
Theories Advanced i'm Recent Iaw-
kinS Case at Hcnlcrs0nvillc.

Asheville, n. c., Sept. 29.-A the
ory which has been advanced in re-
gard to the Myrtle Hawkins mystery
at Hendersonville, by many people Of
this city, who have watched the case
closely, is that the young lady is
alive to-day and that the body which
was found in Lake Osceola, on which
were found her clothes and jewels,
was one which had been placed there
by some one other than murder
err Many reasons are advanced for
this belief, among them being that
Myrtle never wore the cloak in which
the body supposed to be hers was
found, and that it was used on this
occasion for bluff"
Another Is the one expressed by a
local physician to the effect that a
body would not be so decomposed as
to be unrecognizable in the space of
three days, as the body which Is said
to have been hers was. 1t Is believ-
ed by the gentleman who expressed
this opinion yesterday that the body
which was found III tho lake on which
was found her clothes and jewelry,
was an eXhumed one which had been
placed there for "blind." The body
was iden titied only by the clothing
and jewelry, it will be recalled.

HOW THEY VOTED IN 1900.
Blcasc Voted for Irby on All But One
BallOt-JOncS Voted for Irby.
Columbia Record

(C0lumDia Record.
At the Red Shirt meeting in the
Columbia theatre Wednesday night,
In his address to the followers of
Wade Hampton in 1876, Governor
Cole l.. Bleasc elected great an.
plause by his declaration that as a
member of the House OF Representa-
tives In 1890 he had voted for Wade
hampton for Senator. An eXam.na-
ton of the Journal of the House of
Representatives for that year shows
that while Mr.. Blease did vote for
Hampton on the first ballot, which
was purely formal. he voted on all
! succeeding ballots for John l.. NJ.
lrby, who was elected over HAMPTON
on the seventh ballot.
The Journal shows that in accord-
ance with the Federal law each
House balloted separately for Sena-
tor on Tuesday, December 8, 1890.
The vote in the House stood: For
| Hampton, 81; for Irby, SO; for
Donaldson, 33; for J. J. Hemphill, 2;
for E. S. Keitt, 2; for G. d. Tillman.
|; for Robert Smalls, 3. None of
the candidates received majority,
either in House or Senate, and in ac-
cordance with the law, the two
Houses met in joint assembly the
following day. when the first Joint
ballot was taken.
mol
cember 10, 1890, pages 221 to 223,
shows that on this, the second bal
lot, 1rby received 63 votes; Donald
son As, Hampton AZ, Hemphill 3, and
Smalls 1. Those recorded as voting
for Irby (page 222) are as follows:
"Alderman, Bissell. Blake, Blease,
Browning. Buchanan, Buist," etc.
The third ballot, on Thursday, De-
cember IL, 1890. pages 244 and 245
Of the Journal, shows again that
Blease voted for Irby. as he did on
the other three ballots taken the
same day, December II, which was
the seventh ballot in all, Irby was
elected, the vote standing as follows:
Irby 105, Donaldson 8, Hampton 43;
necessary to choice, 70.
The record therefore shows that
while Mr.. Blease did vote for Wade
Hampton. on the first formal ballot
In the House, he did not vote for him
at all in the joint assembly, when the
really decisive ballots were taken,
but voted for lrby each time-six in
all.
1t is interesting to note that Ira B.
Jones, then also a member of the
House, and now candidate for Cover
nor against Mr.. Blease, voted for Irby
all the way through. having been ap-
pointed chairman Of the ways and
means committee by Irby, who was
then Speaker, and Jones succeeded
Irby as Speaker when Irby resigned
to take Hampton's place.

ITALY OPENS THE FIGHT.
Formal Declaration OF War Against
Turkey Has Been Made.

Rome, Sept. 29.--Italy has declar-

noon.
1t declared that the two countries
were In state Of war beginning at
half past two o'clock on the after
noon Of Friday, September 10Th.
This Is the hour at which the Ital-
ian ultimatum to Turkey expired. 1t
followed session Of the cabinet at
which the Turkish reply was consd-
cred and found unsatisfactory.
Though every indication pointed
to this action by the royal govern
mcnt, there was always possibility
that tho good offices Of other govern
ments would be successful in avoid
ing hostility, and when the final de-
cision Of the cabinet was announced
the excitement throughout the city
was intense.
Throughout the earlier hours of
the day the papers had issued special
fleet was moving in plain sight Of the
coast of Tripoli and intimating that
war might be declared at any mo-
ment.
The minister OF foreign affairs.
Signor di San Guilano, received the
Turkish reply from the Turkish am
bassador this morning, and immedi-
ately went into conference with his
derstood that the Ottoman govern
ment completely conceded Italy's
economic plans in Tripoli, but evaded
direct answer demanded by this
its ultimatum that Turkey must say
that she would not resist the propos-
ed occupation Of Tripoli and Cyrenne.
Instead the port sent a conciliatory
note suggesting further delay. 1t was
known at the same time Turkey
transmitted a note to the powers, in
which it is assumed that she repre-
sented herself as the injured party,

The royal government decided to
stand absolutely by its ulttmatum
yesterday, and. in the absence of re-
ply called for, declare Italy and Tur-
key in state Of war from the hour
that the ultimatum of "a hours ex-
pired.
Trouble Dates Back to 1873.
The trouble between Italy and Tur-
key, which eliminated this afternoon
in declaration Of war at Rome,
dates back to 1878, when, with the
making of the treaty concluding the
Russo-Turkish war. the powers are
understood to have agreed to permit
Italy a pacific penetration of Trip
OIL" Turkey claims this right has
been respected ever since.
Italy has colonized Tripoli until
her interests in that African PROV
ince are very great. She has assert
ed, however, that her subjects have
been mistreated by the Ottoman au-
thorities and constantly discriminate
ed against. Frequent disputes have
arisen.
