A Snake Which Span Around on his Tail
Like a Top.
Monroe, July 20 A novel snake
story is reported from down about '
the South Carolina line.
Two darkies were fishing in a hole
in a small creek, on both sides of
which were laree and numerous
rocks. They heard two or three
keen whistles, on the opposite bank'
and on looking saw to their astonish
ment, ahugh black snake, with yel
low rings around him. One of them
took his gun at shot at it, but the
ball grazed the rock a lew inches
.away. The snake then stood erect
on the end of his tail
swelling in the middle.
and began j
In about a 1
minute he became about the size of a
half-bushel, black, with bright yellow
bands around him. About six inches
remained its natural size and served
as a pivot. It then began spinning
like a top and made a noise like a
planing machine. The two fisher
men became frightened and ran oft
and left their string of fish behind.
Two or three day after that they re
turned, well armed, to see if there
were any signs of the strange sight
they had seen, but, as might be ex
pected, the only sign was a hole,
drilled about an inch deep in the
rock, where the serpent had been
spinning. It is said there is no fish
ing done for some . distance around
that place.

A Narrow Escape,
Yesterday afternoon there came near
being a horrible accident at the Caro
lina Central freight depot. A freight
train was across the track, and the cars
were being coupled and shifted as is
always done. At one backing -the cars
came together with such lorce that al
ter striking, instead of coupling, they
rebounded, leaving an opening of sev
eral feet. A white woman, who was a
stranger to all about the depot, was
standing on the east side of the track
waiting to get across. She was ap
parently in a hurry. As the cars re
bounded, she thought she would slip
through the opening and save time.
It came within an inch of costing her
her life. .
Just as she got in the middle of the
track the engineer, tnot supposing any
one would be so foolhardy as to at
tempt passing between the cars, came
back, and the woman was not an inch
beyond the west side of the track when
the cars came together. Mr. Albert
Williamson, who saw the whole occur
rence, said he was never so frightened.
He thought the woman would be
crushed to death, sure, and she indeed
had a narrow escape. Charlotte Ob

MESSAGE ON TARIFF
President Cleveland's Letter to
Representative Wm. L. Wilson.
THE SITUATION FULLY REVIEWED.
Urges Adherence to Democratic Principle.
Believes the Present Kill Falls Short
la Not Providing for Free Raw
Material Other Matters.
Washington , July 20. The following
is President Cleveland's letter to Renre-
sentative Wilson on the tariff situation,
which Mr. Wilson read as a part of his
remarks in the house yesterday after
noon: "Executive Mansion,
"Washington, July 19, 1894.
"lion. William L. Wilson :
"My Dear Sir The certainty that a
conference will be ordered between the (
two houses of' congress, for the purpose
of adjusting differences on the subject
of tariff legislation, makes it also cer j
tain that yoi will be again called on to
do hard service in the cause of tariff
reform. j
"My public life has been so closely ;
related to the subject, I have so longed !
for its accomplishment, and I have so
often promised its realization to my
fellow countrymen as a result of their
trust and confidence in the democratic
party, that I hope no excuse is necessa- j
ry for my earnest appeal to you that in
this crisis you strenuously insist upon
party honesty and good faith and a
sturdy adherence to democratic princi
ples. I believe these absolutely neces
sary conditions to the continuation of
democratic existence. I cannot rid my
self of the feeling that this conference
will present the best if not the only
hope of true democracy. Indications
point to its action as the reliance of
those who desire the genuine fruition
of democratic effort, the fulfillment of
democratic pledges and the redemption
of democratic promises to the people.
, Aeu to Democratic Principle.
To reconcile differences in the details
comprised within the fixed and well de
fined lines of principle will not be the
sole task of the conference, but, as it
seems to be, its members will also have
in charge .the question whether demo
cratic principles themselves are to be
saved or abandoned. There, is no ex
cuse for mistaking or misapprehending
the feeling and the temper of the rank
and file of the democracy, they are
downcast under the assertion that their
party fails in ability to manage the
government, and they are apprehen
sive the efforts to bring about tariff
reform mav fail; uit they are much
more downcast and apprehensive in
their fear that democratic principle
may be surrendered.
"In these circumrtances they cannot
do otherwise than to look with confi
dence to you and those who have pa
triotically and sincerely championed the
cause of tariff reform within the demo
cratic principles. This confidence is
vastly suggested by the action under
your leadership of the house of repre
sentatives upon the bill now pending.
Present Bill Falls Short.
Every true democrat and every sincere
tariff reformer knows this bill in its
present form and as it will be submit
ted to the conference, falls far short of
the consummation for which we have
long labored, for which we have suffer
ed defeat without discouragement,
which in its anticipation gave us a rally
ing cry in our day of triumph, and
which in its promise of accomplishment
is so interwoven with democratic
pledges and democratic success that our
abandonment of the cause or the prin
ciples upon which it rests means party
perfidy and party dishonor.
"One topic will be submitted to the
conference which embodies democratic
principle so directly that it cannot be
compromised. We have in our plat
forms and in every way possible declar
ed in favor of the free importation- of
raw materials. We have again and
again promised that this should be ac
corded to our people and our manufac
tures as soon as the democratic party
was invested with the power to deter
mine the tariff policy of the country.
Should Provide for Free Raw Material
The party now has the power. We are
as certain to day as we have ever been
of the great benefit that would accrue
to the country from the inauguration
of this policy, and nothing has occur
red to release us from our obligation to
secure this advantage to our people.
It must be admitted that no tariff rae&
sure can accord with democratic prin
ciples and promises, or bear a genuine
democratic badge, that does not provide
for free raw material. In the circum
stances, it may excite our wonder that
democrats are willing to depart from
tnis the most dernoeratic of all princi
ples and that the ireonsistent absurdity
of such a proposed departure should be
emphasized by the suggestion that the
wool of the farmer be put on the free
list and the protection of tariff taxa
tion be placed around the iron ore and
coal of corporations and capitalists.
How can we face the people after in
dulging in such outrageous discrimina
tions and violations of principle ?
Tariff Taxation on Sugar.'
"It is quite apparent that this ques
tion of free raw material does not admit
of adjustment on any middle ground,
since their subjection to any rate of
tariff taxation, great or small, is alike
violative democratic principle and dem
ocrat good faith. I hope that you will
pot consider it intrusive if I say some
thing in relation to another subject
which can hardly fai to be troublesome
to the conference. J refer to the adr
justment of tariff taxation on sugar..
Under our party platform, and ag;
cordance with Qurdeclared party pUF1
poses, sugar is a legitimate and logipaj
article of revenue taxation- Unfortu
nately, however, incidents have accom
panied certain stages of the legislation
which will be submitted to the confer
ence, that have aroused in connection
with thU SUDject a natural democratic
j animosity to the methods and manlpu-
la t ions of trusts and combinations. I
confess to sharing i- this feeling, and
yet it seems to me we ought, if possible,
to sufficiently free ourselves from prej
udice to enable us cooly to weigh the
considerations which, in formulating
tariff leorislation oucrht to euide our
treatment of ugr as a taxable article,
Does Not Encourage a Combination,
While no tenderness should be eQter-
tained for trusts and, while I am decid-
; edly opposed w griming "
tne guise 01 tarn? i.aavji ouj "i"!'
tunity to further their peculiar meth
that wh nuirht not to be
tion of sugar, by the fear, quite Ukeiy
A, K f . .a
exagerated, that in carrying out this
principle and policy we may indirectly
and inordinately encourage a combina
tion cf sugar refining interests. I know
that in present conditions this is a deli
cate subject, and I appreciate the depth
end strength of the feeling which its
treatment has aroused." I do not be
lieve we should do evil that good may
come, but it seems to me that we for
get that our aim is the completion of a
tariff, and in taxing sugar for proper
purposes and within reasonable bounds,
whatever else may be said of our action
we are in no danger of running counter
to democratic principle. With all this
at stake, there must be in the treatment
of this article some ground upon which
we are willing to stand, where tolera
tion and conciliation may be allowed to
solve the problem without demanding
the entire surrender of fixed and con
scientious convictions. ' . -
"Believe in Any Good Intentions."
"I ought not to prolong this letter.
If what I have written is unwelcome, 1
I beg you to believe in my good inten
tions. In the conclusions of . the con
ference touchins the numerous items
which will be considered, the people
are not afraid that their interests will
be neglected. They know that the re-1
suit so far as these are concerned will
be to place home necessaries and com
forts easier within their reach, and to
insure better and surer compensation
to those who toil.
"We all know that a tariff covering
all the varied interests and condition of
a country as vast as ours must of neces
sity be largely the result of honorable
adjustment and honorable compromise.
I expect very few of us . can say when
our measure is perfected that all its
features are entirely as we would pre
fer. Deprecated the Income Tax Feature.
" You know how much I deprecated
the incorporation into the proposed bill
of the income tax feature. In matters
of this kind, however, which do not
violate a fixed and recognized, demo
cratic doctrine, we are willing to defer
to the judgment of a majority of our
democratic brethren, I think there is a
general agreement this is the party
duty. This is more palpably apparent
when we realize that the business of
our country timidly stands and watches
for the result of our efforts to perfect
tariff legislation, that a quick and cer
tain return of prosperity waits upon a
wise adjustment, and that a confiding
people still trust in our hands their
prosperity and well-being.
"The democracy of the country plead
earnestly for speedy completion of the
tariff legislation which our representa
tives have undertaken, but they demand
not less earnestly that no stress of
necessity shall tempt those they trust
to the abandonment of democratic
principle. Yours very truly,
(Signed) Grover Cleveland." ,

Is Tariff Legislation Doomed For

FOUR MOTIONS BEFORE THE SOATE.
An Indefinite Postponement of the Con
ference Report Possible Senators
Uorman, Mills and llrlce
Rpealk on the Situation.
Wasiiinnton, July 23. The point is
reached in the house when there is no
new measure of such importance as to
command the assignment of a day for
its consideration. The committee on
rules will meet today to decide what
committees shall be recognized during
the we?k for presentation of business .
decided upon by them. It has finally
been decided by the managers of the
house that the Patterson bill to amend
the interstate commerce law to per
mit the railroad companies under reg
ulations to be established by the inter
state commerce commission to pool
their earnings, shall go over to the next
session ' for action. This decision was
reached after consultation with friends
of the measure, although there was a
great pressure brought to bear in favor
of immediate consideration. It is be
lieved by many friends of the bill that
its passage, together with the recent
demonstration of the ability and de
termination of the government to pro
tect and preserve the free and untram
elled movement of commerce between
the states, will create a foreign demand
for railroad securities that will go far
toward terminating the present period
of business depression. All interest in
congress the coming week centers about
the senate where the fate of the tariff
bill may be decided by the vote to be
taken on the conference report which

The Fate of the Tariff.
There was nothing ini the shape of a
conference Saturday, although senators
charged with responsibility in connec
tion with the tariff Dill called upon
their colleagues and endeavored to get
some light upon the situation. A prom
inent democratic leader, chairman of
one of the most important senate com
mittees, and who does not belong to the
so-called conservatives, told a reporter
that unless something altogether unex
pected happened before the senate met
today, something to which no one looks
forward, all hope of tariff legislation at
this session of congress would be doom
ed to disappointment. This view comes
from a senator honest and earnest in
his effort to secure a bill of some sort,
and was candidly expressed only after
a consultation he had in the afternoon
with some of the members of the senate
finance committee. ,
There will be no caucus to discuss this
situation and it is known that thus far
the dissatisfied elements of the party,
the men who insisted that the compro
mise bill should be passed, have kept
clear of their colleagues and have de
clined to talk the situation over. They
stand as firmly as ever where they have
always stood, and declare that there is
nothing to disetfcs; it must be the sen
ate bill or nothing. The managers of
the bill on the part of the senate real
ize this and one of them said:
Where the Responsibility lests.
- ''What can we do ? There is nothing
to compromise. .We went to . the ex
treme of compromise when the bill was
in the hands of the committee and there
is nothing further that we can yield
except immaterial matters. The house
asks us to do something that is impossi
ble, and the president, who knew be
forehand what we were compelled to
do, has turned and placed the responsi
bility upon the shoulders of the senate."
When the conference report comes
before the senate again today, it will
be with four motions bearing upon its
disposal, penning. Of these the first
made were the two of Senator Hill to
instruct the conferees to recede from
the senate amendment placing coal and
iron on the dutiable list. Then came
Senator Vilas' motion that the senate
recede from the of a cent differen
tial duty, which it had placed on re
fined sugar, and fourth. Senator Gray's
motion that the senate insist upon its
amendments and agree to the request
of the house for a further conference.
There is thought to "be no doubt that
the occupant of the chair today, who
ever he may be, will rule Senator Vjlas'
motion oiit of order as it contemplates
. an amendment to a senate amendment
whiuh js now in eonfeyenpe and ant Qi
the power of the senate to amend,
Cppferee'g. Report M&y be Postponed,
The management fear a motion that
the conference report be indefinitely
postponed. This motion, the managers
of the bill were warned last night,
might be made early in the day, and
they have some reason to apprehend
that it may secure five democratic
votes. Of course the republicans would
vote solidly for-it. A motion of this
kind was about to be made Friday
when Senator Cockerell very hurriedly
moved to adjourn over until Monday
in a hope than a cessation of the debate
for a day or two might improve the sit
uation. '
Should the ' motion to indefinitely
postpone the conference report prevail
the tariff bill will be defeated so far as
the senate is concerned, for it would be
a refusal on the part of the senate to
agree to a further conference.
Mr. Gorman, Mills and Brice are ex
pected to speak today. Gorman will

Kiicine Death for Seven Years.
As an evidence of the nerve and
loyalty to duty which the late Presi
dent Carnot possessed to be a yery
krge degree, it is now shown that
more than 2,000 letters were received
bv him threatening his life, and it Is
said that he .was notified nearly every
day during his term of office that he
would be assassinated. In a word,
he practically faced death every day
during that time, and yet he went his
way smiling and apparently uncon
cerned as to the danger which
threatened him. '
Few men could have endured the
mental strain to which he was sub
jected and not murmur, yet that is
what the late French President did,
and it will be difficult to find nobler
example than this man, whose life
was sacrificed to duty. "He lived
and died without fear and without re
proach." Norfolk Virginian.

United States Senate in Blackburn's
place. Watterson tried the House
one session, but found it unsuited to
his talents and resigned. He would
do better in the Senate; except the
Senate is a working body, and he
would have to turn over a new leaf
to maintain the position there that
his abilities entitle him to take. Wat
