Scutari in Ruins.
Vienna, April 23.-The greater part
of the city of Scutari is in ruins as a
result of the six months lombard
ment, according to dispatches re-
ceived here today.
Situation is Complicated.
Rome, April 23.-The capture of
Scutari by the Montenegrin troops has
made great impression here.
The success of the Montenegrins
has complicated the situation, as
Montenegro will undoubtedly refuse to
evacuate the city. This will make
coercive measures by the European
powers more difficult than when they
only aimed at forcing Montenegro to
abandon the siege. H.,
Europe In a Quandary.
Berlin, April 23-The fall of Scutari
has caused the gravest anxiety in
political circles here which fear that
1t will ultimately involve the peace of
Europe. It is semi-o ficially announced
today that the capture Of the Turkish
fortress cannot in the slightest degree
alter the decisions of the European
powers to incorporate Scutari in the
future state Of Albania There is,
however, little expectation here that
the Montengrins will withdraw peace.
fully from Scutari or that the unity OF
the powers will stand the test of an
attempt to GUST them forcibly either
by means of an international expedi.
ton or by Austria and Italy acting as
the manufactures of Europe.

and in view of various published re-

sued at the Japanese embassy:
"No visit has been made by thas am
bassador to the white house this
week, nor has he ever limited to any
body at such an alarming outcome of
the situation as a possible war be-
tween the two countries. In fact. such
contingency has not been discussed
in any phase, so that it is equally err
roneous to say that the Japanese am
bassador has declared that no war will
follow. In fact, he, as we'll as his gov

sympathetic attitude of the American

has come into the white house with
more perplexing questions staring him
In the face, but the patriots at home
do not think Of these and as the mem
bers of congress and the senators owe
their positions largely to the work OF
these patriots, to say nothing of the
president himself, there is a general
feeling of unanimity that it is about
time for some definite announcement.
Iowa and Illinois UnprovIded.
The Illinois and the Iowa situations
are both up in the air now. Senator
Lewis of Illinois has spent q week
here and has departed for Chicago
again. To date he has made no an
nouncement. In fact, not all of the
democratic congressman have had q
chance to see him. his hours having
been SO irregular. Roger Sullivan, ex-
most of last week, but Roger knew
no more at the end of the week than
he did at the beginning.
There is belief that Lewis has his
slate all fixed II So. the congress
men are likely to interpose strong OBJ
jections at not being consulted par
! ticularly the Chicago congressman.
But if he has made it up, none Of
them know it yet.
The Iowa recommendation are ex-
pected sometime soon. But they have
been expected at various times dur
ing the past four weeks. One thing
and another has halted them. First 1t
was the absence of Judge Wade, the
national committeeman, whose bust
ness detained him in the west.
Again it was the hasty departure of
Judge Wade, after he came, because
of the illness OF his brother, who has
since died. And the holding up has
been attributed to efforts on the part
of Wilson men to dictate certain men,
bers Of the slate over the wishes of
the men who are to make it up. But
whatever may be the cause, the slate
is not fixed yet.
And so it is with practically every
state in the union. Nothing has been
done as far as the state appointments
go and nothing much has been done
with the larger positions here in
Washington, and but for the president,
the cabinet heads and very few
minor officials, glance into any one
of the departments would be almost
enough to convince one that the Taft
administration is still in existence. !
Looking Four Years Hence.
The appointment of Bennett Clark, |
son of Speaker Clark, to the position |
of parliamentarian of the house by !
his father, has been taken by many |
to mean that the
speaker will not be candidate for |
the presidency again in 1916.
On the other hand. the recent !
burial of the tomahawk by Speaker
Clark and Secretary Bryan is taken by
some to mean that if Wilson decides
that one term is enough for him, either
Bryan or Clark will be the chosen one
for the presidents mantle in 1916.
Notwithstanding his three races for
the presidency, Bryan will have the
edge on Clark. His age, In the first
place, is better, for Champ is getting
to be an old man, while w. j. is still
far short Of sixty. Again, there is
every prospect Of having presidential
primary in 1916, and if such be the
case, Bryan could carry practically
every state in the union as against any
other democrat.

Little Rentz BOy Located.

The mysterious disappearance of
the little son of Mr.. D. P. Rentz from
his home in Lakeland, Fla, has been
explained and the boy has been To-
Gated. Monday of this week we were
told that the boys grandfather, Mr..
J. G.. RentZ, who lives in the lower
part of the county, had received a
letter from a gentleman who had
seen the notices in the papers con-
corning his disappearance. This let
ter stated that the writer was on the
train in Georgia and the boy was on
the train and had no money and was
out off at a small town near Way
cross, Ga. The gentleman said the
little fellow told the conductor his
name and that he was going to Char
lesion.
However, on Tuesday morning we
were informed that the little fellow
had been located at Timmonsville, in
Florence county, and that Dr.. S. P.
Rentz, his uncle, had gone up for
him. His aged grand parents and
other relatives will be relieved of
much anxiety. The Herald sent off
and had a cut made from picture
of the boy, but as he has been To-
Gated it will not be needed.

Demand for Fertilizer.

Charleston advices state that al
though the season has been slow in
starting, this years fertilizer ship
ments will not only exceed those of
last year, but are likely to equal the
record movement of 1910. Shipments
to date are much larger than those
of a year ago. Both the Southern
Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line
have completed their arrangement
for handling the seasons tonnage.
The Charleston News and Courier
says that the industry in that city
since 1905, when $4,000 tons were
shipped, increased until 1910, when
6O4,OOO tons were moved. The ship
ments in 1911 from that point were
6O1,0OO tons.-Wall Street Journal.
