i TILLMAN'S FRANCHISE PLAN
Passes South Carolina's Conntltntlonal Oon
ventlon by a Good Majority.
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 2. After flye
days of debate Senator Tillman's suffrage
plan was ordered to its third reading last
flight by a vote of 69 to 37. A great many
members were absent on business or other
wise, but as they were paired the result
would not have been changed. Nearly
eyer'member took occasion to explain
his vote before the ballot was taken. It
has been a foregone conclusion for two
days that Tillman was going to win, for
every amendment to his plan was promptly
voted down.
The law prescribes that the qualifica
tions for suffrage shall be : Residence in
the state for two years, in the county one
year, in the election district four months,
and the payment six months before any
election of any poll tax then due and payable;-
registration which shall provide for
the enrollment of every elector once in
ten years, also an enrollment during eaoh
and every year every elector.not previously
registered as prescribed.
Up to Jan. 1, .1893, all male persons of
voting age who can read a clause in the
constitution, or understand and explain it
when read to them, are to be entitled
to reglsterimd become electors, 'and such
persons are to remain during life qualified"
electors, unless disqualified by the other
provisions of this article. Any -person who
applies for registration after Jan. 1, 1898,
if otherwiie qualified may be registered,
provided he can both read and .write or
show t&at he owns and has paid all taxes
collectable during the previous year on
property in the state assessed at $300 or
more. - , .
What is an called understanding clause
is to be of effect only until January, 1898, in
order to allow 'L who cannot read .and
write and who own $300 worth of property
to register. It is asserted that this clause
is to be so administered as to register all
white men aud.as few neerroes as possible.

FATAL SWEAT SHOP FIRB.
Three Bodies Found in the Ruins aad One
Killed by Jumping. '
New York, Nov. 4. Several lives were
lost in a -lire which started about'l a.rrh.
"story brick Dulldlngs at 7 Felham street,
" owned by Weil & Meyer, and used as a
sweat shop. Three charred and almost un
recognizable bodies have been taken from
the ruins, and one man-who jumped to
save his life from the flames was so injured
that ' he died in
Gouverneur hospital,
whither he was taken suffering from a
fractured skull. The dead are: Jacob
Shaptro, watchman, found in the ruins,40
years old; Isaac Penson, found in the
ruins; unknown man, found in the ruins;
Morris Dirschauer, 40, who jumped from a
second story window. The fire started
from an unknown cause on the second j
floor of No. 7 and quickly spread to three
adjoining buildings, which were all de
stroyed. - The total loss is about $75,000.
The fire caused terror in the thickly
populated neighborhood, and people ran
out of their houses into the streets in mul
titudes to escape" the impending destruc
tion of their homes, which they feared.
The buildings burned were filled with
sweat shops ' and several watchman and
others slept there How many cannot
be told yet. Two of these people were
Dirschauer, who died in Gouvernour hos
pital, and Samuel Ischowitz, janitor at
No. 7. They jnmped from windows to
save themselves. Ischowitz is still in the
.hospital with both legs broken. , :..

that all the Armenians were banded to

governmtfnt. n The Turks thenlselve rep
resented that they were afraid of an at
tack T from the Armenians, and even in
some cases took measures " to put their
families in places of safety.
"On Friday, Oct. 8, there were extensive
movements of armed men on the streets.
About il o'clock they seemed to disperse,
and nothing specially worthy of attention
occurred through the night. On' Satur
day, Oct. 5, the excitement in the town
was very intense. The consuls had a oont
sultatlon, and going in a body to the jvall
earnestly pressed him to arrest those who
were exciting the people to acts of out
rage. The vali declined to do so, but prom
i ised in his OWn W.W tn An iri itV . 4ti4n)rr
"Until Monday, Oot. 7, matters seemed
to be; quieting down when an Incident
stirred up the excitement anew. On the
previous Friday night the son of a leading
Turk of the town was wounded on the
street, som say by one of his own com
panions, others that he was shet by an
Armenian whom he was fcryihg to arrest.
On Monday he died, and the funeral re-
rm7 nd loud and many were the threats
of massacre that night, 'and; hundreds of
the Armenians rushed to places of safety.
"The next morning, Oct. 8, all dispersed
in the hope that the danger was past. Men
went to their shops and were encouraged
to open them, as they had not done for two
or three previous days. Suddenly the trou
ble began. Unsuspecting people walking
along tha streets . were shot ruthlessly
down. Men standing or sitting quietly at
their shop doors were instantly dropped
with a bullet through their heads or hearts.
Their aim was deadly, and I have heard of
no wounded men. Some were slashed with
swords until life was extinct. They passed
through the quarters where only old men,
women and children remained, killing the
men and large boys, but generally permit
ting the women and younger children to
live. ,
"For five hours this horrible work of
inhuman butchery went on. -men tne
sound of musketry died away, and the
work of looting began. Every shop of an
Armenian in the market was gutted. For
hours bales of broadcloth,- cotton goods
and every conceivable kind of - merchan
dise passed along without molestation to
the homes of the spoilers. The Intention
evidently was to impoverish and as near as
possible to blot out the Armenians of the
town. r: . - : v -; : ' - . "" " ;
"So f ar as appearanee went the police
and the soldiers distinctly aided in this
savage work. They were mingled with
the armed men, and so far as we could see
made not the least effort to check them.
.Apparently they took care to see that the
right ones- that is, the Armenians were
killed. Also that an offer of surrender
might be made to all that were found un
armed. To any found with arms no quar
ter was given, but large numbers were
shot down without any proffer of this
kind. This talk of surrender, would seem
to be o efce supposition that all were in
an attitude of resistance. One poor fellow
when called on to surrender thought he
was ealled on to give up his religion, and
when he refused he was hacked to pieces
in the presence of his wife and children,
" While I write the town is in a greai
stir because news has come that the vill
age Armenians, thoroughly armed, are on
their wav to attack the town. The real
fact, however, seems to be that the mas
sacre is extending to the villages, but the
constant effort is to show that this affair
is only the quelling of an insurrection
like Sassoun.
"Not one of the perpetrators of these
outrages has been arrested or disarmed,
but all have moved about with the utmost
freedom to accomplish their nefarious pur
pose. On the other hand many of the Ar
menians are in prison. While I write the
wails of the newly bereaved fall on ray
ears.- Throngs fill the 'schools that are
under foreign protection and the consu
lates. There is no telling how many havs
perished. Four . hundred is a moderate
estimate probably the figure would rise
much higher, and how far the massacre
will sweep through the villages remains
to be seen." ,s ' " " ' ' '

' Have Forfeited English Sympathy.
Loxdox, Nov. 4. The papers this morn
ing are full of Turkish troubles, and have
columns of specUd correspondence from
Constantinople. - T-he Daily News, in an
editorial, complains of fhe want of agree

enforcing tha Armenian reforms. "It. is

Whalera Threatened with Starvation.
Sax Francisco, Nov. 4. The schooner
Bosnrio arrived, from the Arctic ocean,
bringinir 3.0OJ pounds of bone, the residue
of a catch of lire whales. She is the first
of the whaling fleet to reach pore from the
north, aud it is within tho limits of possi
bility that she may be tho last. When she
left the ocean the ice was forming fast,
and it was heavier than it has been for
many years. The Bosarlo brings con
firmation ef the news of a very poor catch
in the Arctic. From the report of the
Bosario it looks as if the entire fleet would
be caught in the loe, The majority of the
barks are provisioned with only enough
stores to lank them through the summer,
and if they are compelled to spend the
winter in the north starvation stares the,
whalers in the face. . ,
