Charleston, Feb. 23.-The News
and Courier received last night an Of
ficial proclamation from Governor
Blease fixing April % as the date for
the general election for the office of
Congressman from the 1st district.
This date is nearly a month in ad-
vance of the date May 27 - fixed
by the State Democratic executive
committee for the primary at which
the Democratic nominee is to be
chosen.
News and Courier at a late hour last
night, and efforts were at once made
to get in touch with the Governors
office in Columbia. These efforts, how
ever, were fruitless. Mr. John X.
Aull, the private secretary of the
Governor, was finally located, how
ever, and when asked whether or not
the date named in the proclamation
was an error, replied that it was not.
Mr.. Aull, on being as!'ed for an ex-
planation, stated that Gov. Blease
had named April % as the date Of the
election because in the first Place he
considered it important that in view
of the change in the national admins
tration, the 1st South Carolina dis
trict should have representation in
Congress as soon as possible. In the
second place, said Mr.. Aull, the Gov
ernor had stated some time ago, and
his statement had been published in
The News and Courier that he thought
he would order the election about the
second Tuesday in April. Notwith-
standing this published statement Of
the Governors said Mr.. Aull and not
Blease had secured information from
the county chairmen of the counties
, in the 1st district and from the cam
didates themselves regarding the ad-
visibility of a primary and regarding
the date on which it should be held,
with a view to comforting with the
executive committee regarding the
| matter, the committee met, and, al
| thought it was in the same building
with the Governor proceeded to
name date for the primary with
out calling him into consultation at
ALL In view of all these facts, said
Mr.. Aull, the Governor considered that
| April 29 would be the best date for
the election, and had, therefore, or
dered the election to be held on that
date.
The situation thus created is an ex-
! traordinary and interesting one. AS
matters now stand, the primary, at
which the Democratic nominee is TO
! he chosen, is scheduled for q date
nearly month after the general cleo
ton at which the new Congressman is
| elected.
Mr.. John Gary Evans, of Spartan
| burg, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic executive committee, when ask
ed last night over the long distance
telephone what move the committee
would make in view of the action of
Governor B!ease, stated that he did
not know whether or not the COM
mittee would do anything further in
the matter.

as were Madero and Pine Suarez, so
that they may make a strict investi-
cation with the direct intervention Of
the military prosecutor general.
"The minister Of justice has asked
that when these investigations are
over-the case being Of so excep-
tional a character-that the prose-
cutor general Of the republic make a
further investigation
THE government deplores the
event, and wishing to attend to the
necessities Of the public welfare, had
asked the minister Of justice to for
mulate plan Of legal action against
the prisoners for their several re-
spOnsibilities, at the same time MAX
ing an effort to have some of the
friends Of Madero assist in the solu-
ton Of this difficult question.
"Filled with the desire to guard it.
self as well as the prisoners the gov
ernment had appointed Col. Luis
Vallestores director of penitentiary
and had given him strict instructions
to provide for any contingency.
The government promises that So
ciety shall be fully satisfied as to he
facts in the case. The commands ars
Of the escort are now under arrest
and the facts above recorded have
been ascertained so as to clear this
unhappy event however comprehen-
sible it may be under the present sad
circumstances"
Heavy patrols were sent out tonight
to guard the streets. At 9 o'clock
the bodies Of Madero and Suarez were
still lying in the mortuary at the peni-
tentiary.
Notwithstanding the apparent air
of claim, tenseness prevails as though
the people Of the capital were on the
watch for further grave happenings.
AS an indication of conditions. a ru-
NOR spread rapidly through the city
this evening that Sonora Madero had
committed suicide. This was follow
ed by a rumor that Gen. Felix Diaz
had been shot. Investigation show
ed that there was no foundation for
either report
Early tonight small groups congrC-
gated about the penitentiary. They
were composed almost entirely Of
men and women of the lower classes.
There was a decided feeling OF
sympathy for the Maderos. Many
women wer" crying. Some Of the
men attempted to make speeches, but
such attempts at public display were
quickly suppressed 10y the guards.
The Madcristas have been discreet
in their uttcranccs and the pro-gov-
ernmcnt men almost equally so. APP
parcntly the populaCc remembered
the cannonading Of the past week and
patrols Of soldiers as we'll as lount-
ed police have served to remind them
that the country is now ruled by
government whose administrative pro
gramme is of the stcrncst character.
80 attempt is made at the National
palace to disguise this fact, and Pres
id"nt Hu,rta himself has said that
drastic measures will be adopted to
restore order.
