Thursday.
The following statement from Gov.
ernor Blease concerning Tuesdays
election, appeared in the News and
Courier Of last Friday morning:
To the Democratic Voters Of South
Carolina: On Tuesday the Democrats
Of this state decided in behalf Of an
honest, clean campaign against the
use Of money, whisky and falsehoods,
their decision being written in behalf
of honor.
Two years before, in an interview,
(on September 49, speaking Of the
primary election in the race for gov
ernor, Senator B. r. Tillman said:
This is a remarkable illustration of
what little influence our newspapers
have. They have been so unfair and
unjust that they are discredited by the
people"
What he said then has been more
than emphasized In this election, but
I do not care to rehenrse the bitterness
and the filth which South Carolina has
passed through for the last three
months, and hope that Il may be
possible for me to forget and to for
give. God, in his all-wise providence.
has protected me, and through the
voice Of the people, which is the voice
Of God, has given to me the greatest
victory ever known to the world.
1t would be impossible for human
tongue to speak or hand to write what
I feel and what would love to say to
my friends In South Carolina To say
that I thank them is. indeed, 80 little
and insignificant that feel ashamed
almost to use that word. I thank
them, and from the bottom Of my
heart say, praise God, from whom all
blessings flow, and may his choicest
blessings rest upon my friends and our
proud commonwealth, that he may
give to me the power and the wisdom
to serve my state and my people better
than have ever served them before.
and to serve them with heart devot-
ed to the cause Of humanity and Chris
tianity. My friends, thank you. May
good bless you. and II can ever serve
you, command, and will obey.
And to the many hundreds Of good
ladies who have added their words Of
encouragement and their prayers for
success, I say to them, thank you.
and may Gods choicest blessings ever
rest upoE you.
II have said one word or done one
sirgle thing which you disapprove of,
I beg your forgiveness, and that you
which I have labored were most try

Filled with stories of Canadian hos pitality and delighted with the treat ment accorded him in Toronto, Su- perintendent Birmingham returned tc his post at police headquarters today following his visit to the annual con- vention of the International Associa- ton of Police Chiefs.
 But for the intense heat, which the superintendent says ranged from 90 te 9s during his stay, the trip would have been ideal There was considerable suffering from the heat, however, and this led him to return day or two before the close of the convention.
 The Toronto people. were more than cordial" said he. today. Each chief was given a badge to wear dur ing his stay in Toronto. The>hoider of this badge was treated royalty. Il carried free transportation and brought every attention.n
 Superintendent Birmingham was ac- companied by Mrs. Birmingham. They visited at Buffalo and at Niagara Falls, With the latter place the superinten- dent twas so delighted he promised to- day that next year will find him there again.

A THRONE AT STAKE. RoyaIists Tn Portugal Preparing Fol Fight to Restore Monarchy.

Lisbon. July 11.--The republican government began extensive war pre- parations. today. evidently convinced that the royalist uprising in northern Portugal means a serious campaign.
 Though the royalists are avoiding regular battles, they have thousands of guerrillas in the field. burning yil- lages, picking off detached parties of republican troops and greatly adding to their strength from among the northern pro-royalist peasantry.
 The republican leaders here say they do not consider the situation dangerous yet but admit that it will soon become serious unless met vig- orously. They are rushing reinforce- ments to the north.
 Many arrests of royalists are being made here, today.
 Eighty royalists took refuge in a cave near Baiao during yesterdays fighting. desperately resisting capture until 20 had been killed and half of the others wounded. Captain Cou- ceiro. the royalist leader, is reported threatening the towns of VaIenca and Chayes, today.

Luther McCarty is growing impa- tient The big Chicago fighter, who put an end to Carl Morris career last spring. is finding it rather hard to se cure matches in this part of the coun- try He has been training for sew eral weeks at a quiet New Jersey re- sort, having agreed to box Al Palzer in New York, but all this work has been in vain. for the reason that Pal a meeting. McCarty's manager Vii liam McCarney, who has vainlys tried to corner Palzer and his advisers, de- clared yesterday that McCarty had as much right to a match with Jack Johnson as Palzer Accordingly ne rounds with McCarty either at the Garden or another local club and promising the negro champion a guar antee of $20.000
 Tt is as plain as day. that Palzer is afraid of McCarty,' said McCarney. He told me himself that he didn't want to take any chances with Mo Carty. He knows that McCarty can hit harder than Bombardier Wells and he doesn't want to be knocked out in a round. Palzer would have about as much show with Jack Johnson as a small boy with a cannfbal. It is absurd to talk of such fight, but while we are at 1t McCarty intends to cut Palzer out if the negro is will ina to talk business, I've asked Man ager Gibson of the Garden to wire Johnson an offer to box McCarty and he has done so.
 By what right does Palzer ignore McCarty, Jim Flynn and Jim Stew art and prefer Johnson? Can Palzer beat Jeannette and Langford, who are constantly trying to make matches with Johnson? Why doesn't Palzer first whip all his white rivals, one af- ter another, before going after the bag smoke? Wouldn't victories over Me Carty, Flynn and Stewart convince the sporting world that Palzer is the real champion of the white race? If McCarty can whip Palzer. doesn't it stand to reason that there'd be more of a chance to deprive Johnson of his title?"

EXPECT VOTE ON LORINfER
 CASE LATE TOMORROW

Washington, July 11.-An attempt to wind up the oratory on the Lori rner case and vote on the Illinois statesman's right tp his seat. tomcr- row, was begun, today, when the Senate convened for the fifth suc- cessive session of its deliberations in the matter.
 Senator Lorimer informed the lead CTS that he desired to close the de- bate with his personal defense, but it was understood that his speech would only occupy few hours. A year ago his defense extended over several days.
 Senator Lea. of Tennessee, who with Senator Kenyon has been head ing the opposition to Lorin1er, ex- pected to occupy nearly all of today in his discussion of the evidence. Sen- ator Thornton, of Louisiana, is also scheduled for an address. By holding a late session, today, and converting early again, tomorrow, it was figured that the final vote might be report ed, late tomorrow afternoon.

HELD
 FOR JUGGLING
 WITH PROFITS
Alleged to Have Reported Sales at Prices Half of What He
 Really Got

Charged with falsifying his reports to the sNaugatuck Valley Ice Co. Harry Findlay of Catherine street, driver of an ice wagons was remand ed in the city court until July 12, when he will be tried in that tribunal for embezzlement. He furnished bail for his appearance.
 Findiay was arrested on a warrant last evening charging him with hav- ing defrauded his company. It is ai- leged that Findlay took advantage of the sliding scale of prices for ice, and reported large sales or his wagon load to wholesalers, at small prices, when in reality, 1t is claimed the bulk of the sales were made at high prices to small consumers.
 Ffndlay, according to the com piaint, had been reaping substantial revenue, having possible play of 20 cents a hundred on several hundred pounds each load.
 The receipts from his consignments of ice were so much smaller than from other drivers that his company set watch on him resulting in a complaint. to Prosecuting Attorney Delaney.
