DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS
Col. John J; Dargan Prevented from
Speaking at Edgefield by . a
1 Crowd of Houghs.
Columbia, S. C, June 2A special
to. the State from Edgefield thus tells of
the refusal of the people of that county
to let John J. Dargan, of Sumter, editor
of the Sumter Freeman, who is advo
cating the giving of political rights to
the negroes, speak there:
Scenes on the streets of Edgefield
to-day would have been a disgrace to
Zululand, It was stated in the papers
that Col. "John J. Dargan would speak
at Edgefield to-day. There were none
here who agree with Col. Dargan's polit
ical views, but most of the citizens of the
town hoped for decency's sake that
nobody would interfere with Col. Dar
. gan or any other citizen of South
Carolina, who attempted to speak. But
this was not to he. The strife promoters
notified the faithful in the county that
IJargan must not be allowed to speak.
This morning brought in a couple of
. hundred and a committee was appointed
to wait on him and tell him he could not
epeak, and it is said another committee
-was selected to see that he should not
speak if he attempted it.
Col. Dargan did not attempt to speak,
and while" walking aloDg the pavement
was followed by a crowd, some of them
well filled with the "chemically pure,"
who hooted at, cursed and abused him.
But they were all careful not to lay
hands on him.
A Death Dealing Cyclone.

Louisville, K y., June 26Notwith
standing the fact that the delegates sat
up until 1:30 o'clock this morning, try
ing to transact c me of the business of
the convention vs ith practically '- no suc
cess at all, they vere up and at it again
bright and early this morning. The con
vention was in running order by 9:30
o'clock. The sixth district delegation 6f
Louisville was the bone of contention.
The majority and minority reports of
the committee on credentials differed in
that the one unseated the regular delega
tion and the other recommended that
it be seated. t The fight over this appar
ently small matter was as hot-' as, if there
had been millions at stake. It plainly
showed the temper of the body and prom
ised a bitter fight when the gubernator
jal nominations dictcome up for consid
eration. . .
The Clay men claim that last night's
adjournment without staking a ballot
helped them, and it is certain that, the
Hardin men held out obstinately against
adjournment. H.very roll call on ad
journment last night showed a majority
of the Hardin men against it. Each was
a strict factional vote and when the con
vention was ended last night it was
ended by tne cn airman, wno peremp
torily adjourned it without a roll call,
wniie tne MunienDerg delegation was
still squabbling.
The convention adopted the majority
report of the committee on credentials,
as amended by the minority report, by a
vote of 448 to 425. This was a victory
for the Clay men and turned the tide of
the convention, f A scene of the wildest
confusion followed, hats were tossed in
the air and waved on the end of canes,
and it was several minutes before order
could btTrestored. The committee on
resolutions, through its chairman, Sen
ator Lindsay, reported the majority re
port, as follows:
"The undersigned, a majority of your
committee, bee leave to submit as their
report the accompanying resolutions:
1. "The Democracy of. Kentucky in
convention assembled, congratulates the
country upon the repeal of the McKinley
Tariff law, and upon the evidences we
have on every hand of returning pros
Deritv, under the operations of reduced
and equalized tariff taxation, and we de
nounce as fraught with danger and dis
aster the threat of our Republican ad
versaries to re-establish a protective
tariff and to reinaugurate a policy of un
equal taxation! which, in connection
with the general misgovernment by the
Republican party, culminated in the
business panic of 1893.
2. "The Democratic party, which has;
always stood for the separation of
Church and State for the sake alike of
civil and religious freedom, does not
hesitate to condemn all efforts to create
a distinction among citizens because of
differences u faith, as repugnant to an
enlightened age and abhorrent to the in
stincts of American freemen.
3. "We reaffim without qualification
the principles and politics declared by the
National Democratic platform of -1892
arid declare that our present National
Democratic Administration is entitled to
the thanks of the party for its honest,
courageous and statesmanlike manage
mene of public affairs; and we express
our confidence in the .Democracy and.
patriotism of President Grover Cleveland
and his distinguished co-adviser ' and
Secretary, Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky."
The fourth and fifth sections relate to
State politics.
Another scene of unbounding enthu
siasm followed the reading of the ma
jority report.; The names of .Cleveland
and Carlisle Hvere received with loud
shouts of approbation.
John S. Rhea read the minority report
which was as follows;
"The undersigned members of the
committee on resolutions dissent from
the views expressed by he majority of
the committee in resolution No. S, which
is proposed as an endorsement of "the
present National Democratic Adminis
tion. The said resolution is ambiguous,
obscure and uncertain in its meaning,,
and is, in our opinion, an attempt to5
straddle the most vital question now at
tracting the atteion of the American
people. And whifc the undersigned do
not concur in the wews expressed in said
resolution,, nor in the views expressed in
the amendment which they here submit,
they nevertheless belieye that it is the
duty of the Democratic party to express
itself in clear and unambiguous terms on
this subject. The financial policy of the
present Democratic Administration de
serves an unqualified endorsement at the
hand3 of the Democratic party of Ken
tucky, or it does not deserve-- such en
dorsement; and, with a view of taking
the opinion of the representatives of the
Democrats of Kentucky in convention
assembled, we submit the following as
an amendment to said resolution:
"Resolved, By the Democrats of Ken
tucky in convention assembled ;. that the
present Damocratic Administration is,
entitled to the thanks of the whole coun
try for the statesmanlike management
of public affairs, and we further declare
that both President Cleveland and" Sec
retarr Carlisle are entitled to the un
qualified endorsement of the American
people for mamtaining the gold stand
ard and thus maintaining the credit of
the Government and their issuance of
tl60.000.000 of interest bearing bonds is
hereby expressly endorsed.
- "The undersigned members of the com
mittee on resolutions, believing the Dem
ocratic Dartv of Kentucky should plainly
declare in favor of true bimetallism, or
the gold standard, offer the following as
alseparate resolution and ask V its adop-
t.inn:
"Resolved, That we believe in the
r.nin&a'e of both erold and silver as the
nrimarv monev of ther country into legal
tender dollars, receivable in payments of
all its debts, public and private, upon
terms of exact eaualitv.
The minority report was signed by!
three of the committee.
Mr. Rhea also offered a resolution that
all part ,of the majority report after the
words, "lay i be stncKen out, so as to
make the platform simply endorse the
Democratic platform of 1892.
After a number of heated speeches
had been made, the report of thefminor-
itv of the ' committee on resolutions re-
affir mine the platform of 1892 but refus
in or to endorse Cleveland, and Carlisle
was defeated by a vote of 584 to 331.
Several counties jchanged their vote to
"no" afterwards, so that the final vote
was 598 against the adoption of the mi
nority report to 270 for it. Senator
Lin
k.iv. er-uovernor Kuckner ana
James x;

the time the vote was an-
r" JT Umly congratulated on
Tf ! a "'ot make any dif-
bUO aCgu.LUa -a-Wi -
ference who wins for Gjyerno now
said Senator Lindsay. "Hone: money
has been endorsed and that is wha.- we
were after in the main.
The next question was on the adoption
of the" second minority report which is
signed by the free silver men. Only 24 J
votea were cast for the second minority
resolution.
The question was then on the majority
report. It was adopted by a vote of 644
to 233, and sound money and the Ad
ministration thereby stand unequivocally
indorsed by the convention. After the
adoption of the majority platform the
convention took a recess until 7 o'clock
this evening.
When the night session of the conven-
tion was called to order by Chairman
Murray every delegate was in his seat.
Music ball was packed to tne door?, all
the remaining space being occupied by
it, It was expected the nomination for
Governor would be made, and those who
came with this in view were not disap
pointed. The chairman announced, im
mediately after rapping for order, that
the committee on credentials having re
ported, nominations for Governor were
now in order. The clerk ai once began
the call of counties. When the Seventh
district was called, C. G. Lockhart arose
to place in nomination Cassius M. Clay,
Jr., for Governor.
Judge I. M. Quigley, of Louisvillerin
seconding the nomination of Mr. Clay
said: "It seems to me that instead of
being Democrats you are here to kill the
harmony of the party." He then flour
ished a circular that was freelv distrib
uted over the convention and asked if
the signers had authorized the use of
their names at the end of it. Loud cries
of "No, "No," arose. The circular
which caused all the trouble, and the
authenticity of which was denied by the
men whose names are signed to the end
of it. was then read by Mr. Quigley. It
was as follows:
"To the Democrats of Kentucky in Con
vention Assembled:
uektlemeh jjo not make a mis
take, but nominate a standard -bearer
who has always bean found in the front
ran f of honesty, free speech, free thought
and personal liberty. Nominate a man
who is not bound to any clique or fac
tion,' who is never found "waiting when
the cause of Democracy is at stake.
Nominate a man who is not tainted by
association with former bolters, who can
and will stand squarely upon any Demo
cratic platform. Assure perfect harmony
and an old time victory by selecting for
the head of your ticket either J. Black of
Knoxville, W. J. Stone of Lyon, or A.
S. Berry of Campbell." '
"Now then," continued Judge Quigley,
"are not you ashamed to have such a
thing circulated among you? I say to
any man who may have been connected
with this circular that, he ia no Demo
crat. ' If you want a man wjho will rep
resent this' party, nominate Mr. Clay and
you will have a man who can stand upon
the Democratic platform. That is your
duty." I
The call of districts proceeded, and
Kooert j. .Breckinridge, of Danville.
brother of W. C. P. Breckinridge, arose
to name ; P. Watt Hardin. A scene of
tremendous enthusiasm ensued, and it
was some time before order could be
sufficiently restored for him to sneak,
When he could make himself heard, he
named his candidate in a highly eulo
gistic speech, which was echoed by
Robert J. Tarvin in seconding the norm
nation.
Igratius A, Spaulding of Union county
seconded Clay s nomination.
The nominating and seconding
speeches being concluded, the.secretary
called the roll of counties for a nomina
tion for Governor. Hundreds of persons
in the hall jotted down the vote as it was
called out and; before the ballot was fin
ished, such a scene as is rarely witnessed
outside of a Democratic convention in
the South ensued. It was seen that
Hardin had received the 440 votes ne
cessary to a choice, and his adherents
created a scene of pandemonium for a
while. ' The air was full of hats and
hurrahs, and the counties which had
been, for Clay, in many instances, began
to change their votes for the successful
candidate. The ballot before any changes
were made, was: Hardin, 466; Clay,
338; Henry Watterson, 3; ex-Governor
Buckner, 3; W. J. Stone, 63. ,
Some of the delegates wanted to ad
journ, but the chair ordered a roll call
and candidates for Lieutenant Governor
were placed in nomination. They were
R. P. Tyler of Fulton county, Oscar
Turner of Louisville and M. D. Brown,
of Christian county. ' Tyler was nomi
nated by a viva voce vote before the
ballot was finished, and the- convention
adjournedSuntil to-morrow morning.

Washington, June 26 The Treasury
agreement wth the Morgan-Belmont
bond syndicate, thoughcompleted to-day
as far a3 paying in.gold for the bonds is
concerned, is still in effect as to other
provisions and does not expire until
October 1st next. The other principal
provision is that -the syndicate shall use
all proper mcfans to protect the gold re
serve from demands for gold for export
purposes. This is the understanding. of
treasury officials, and from advices re
ceived at the treasury from . the syndi
cate, it is also their understanding and
they express their ability and determina
tion to live up to the letter and spirit of
the agreement. The syndicate's pay
ment of gold to-day aggregated over
$8,500,000, completing that part of the
contract and raising the treasury gold
reserve to $107,447,855.
By the terms of their contract they re
ceived $62,315,400 in 4 per cent, bonds
of 1925, for which they have paid in
gold $65,116 275. The difference between
the price paid $104,4946 per $100 and
$123J, which is the lading market price
now, is what the syndicate and those
associated with it have made by reason
oi ine advanced price of the bonds,
This latter price, however, has been
reached by easy stages and the expense
of
supplying Sterling exchange since
February 8th to the present time, and the
further expense of furnishing it until
October 1st, next, will have to be de
ducted from their apparent profits, to
ascertain their approximate net profit
from the entire bond transaction. At
times during the period covered by the
contract, exchange has been below the ex
porting point; at other times the cost of
supplying it was slight, while at some
periods the exchange rate was so high
that the cost must have been quite
heavy. Only the syndicate representa
tives know the cost, the Treasury De
partment not being informed of these
details.
The State Department admitted to-day
that so far as the department is aware,
Mr.' Ramon Williams, United States
consul general at Havana, is now on his
way back to his post. This information
is in the nature of a surprise, as it was
generally understood that Mr. Williams
would not return to Havana and the
news derives importance irom the under
standing that Mr. Williams' departure
from this country was hastened through
an important mission in connection with
Cuban affairs with which he has been
entrusted. Mr. Williams came back to
the United States under peculiar circum
stances. He had had considerable
trouble with the Spanish author
ities at Havana and it wts
understood that the ; Spanish Gov
ernment was prepared to demand his
recall, when he suddenly received sixty
aays leave oi absence and returned to
the United States. It Was the general
belief that he'would tender his resiama-
on to the State Department on the ex
piration of his leave. He has twice vis
ited Washington since his return to the
United States, the first time during Sec
retary Gresham's administration, when
Mr. Uhl was acting Secretary and again
since Mr. Olney has been installed in the
State Department. It is said that he
was persuaded during the last visit to
give up his determination to resign and
to return to Cuba. J- f-
The Sun's Cotton Review.
New YoRK,June 25. TheSun' cotton
report says: Cotton rose 12 to 14 points,
and closed firm, with sales of 183,500
bales, v Manchester was dull. New Or-
leans advanced 14 points'. Liverpool
sold 10,000 bales on the spot, all Amer
ican, at firmer but unchanged prices.
Futures there advanced 4 to 4 points.
The signal service predicted generally
fair weather at the South during the
next twenty-four hours, with south or
west winds as a rule. The port receipts
were 1,177 bales, against 928 last year:
thus far this week 10,000. Hands in Fall
Rivar cotton factories have yielded, on
the average, an advance of 12 k per cent.
in wages, rifty otner companies m
New England and the Middle States have
raised wages 15 per cent., within the last
few months. Spot cotton here to-day
was unchanged, with 649 bales sold for
spinning. Southern markets are gen
erally unaltered and quiet. Mobile
dropped l-16c. Good rains were reported
in the Memphis district within the la
twenty-four hours, but in most parts of
the cotton belt during that time it has
been clear and warm. Mobile declined
l-16c. July notices were issued to a fair
extent, but were promptly provided for,
The New York warehouse stock is now
207,000 bales, against 192,000, 172,000,
aai.uuu, loiJ.uuu and 8iJ,uuuin previous
hve years,
Today's features were: Although
Liverpool at first was a little disappoint
ing, the market here opened firm and it
soon developed considerable strength,
owing largely to bullish news from
Liverpool, where a very fair business
was done on the spot, and altogether In
American cotton, while futures there
showed a rising tendency that surprised
everybody. In the main, the weather
news was favorable, but there has un
doubtedly been too much rain within the
last fortnight in Texas and Louisiana,
and the weekly Government report says
that cotton in Louisiana is. badly in the
grass and that some damage has been
done in the lowlands of that
State. In fact, the Government
report caused quite a little buy?
ing among operators who think that
the conditions in the southwest will
have a great deal to do with the course
cf prices in the future. The spot mar
ket here was active and steady. Liver
pool and the Continent bought, and so
did the local operators. The advance in
wheat had some effect, as usual: there
fore, prices rose, in spite of the fact that
the weather at the South was generally
clear and warm, and in many sections
the crop is looking much better than re-
cently General trade continues to im -
prove and many believe that a short
crop is practically an assured fact. The
dry goods market shows more life, and,
in a word, the conditions are such that
the bears are cautious and bulls are en
couraged to stand their ground.

ANOTHER TRUNK LINE.
The Chesapeake and Western Rail
- Road An Important New Line
- - Through the Virginias.
Baltimore, June 26 The Manufac
turers" Record says it has developed that
Rhinebart, ex-president of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, is president of the
Chesapeake and Western road, which is
being constructed across the valley of
Virginia
This road is being constructed by the
Old Dominion Construction company, of
New York, of which Mr. E. C. Machen
is president. Forty-four miles have been
graded, and the ties are now being put
down. Eighty pound rails are being
purchased and the shipment from the
Carnegie works for enough to lay sixty
hve miles of track has commenced. Two
new standard engines out of the nrst
contracts for equipment are now due
and will beput on track work as soon as
received. This will be the first new road
ever built that was laid with eighty
pound steel rails at the start. The work
of grading and general construction will
be of the most substantial character
with an equipment of the latest type,
indicating that the Chesapeake and West
ern is preparing for the heaviest traffic
that can be handled by any road.
Twenty-seven miles of the line, the
rails for which are now being received,'
will carry the road across Rockingham
county, Virginia, from Elkton on the
Norfolk and Western through Harrison
burg on the Baltimore and Ohio to
Bridgewater. This cuts across the val
ley of Virginia and opens up one of the
finest agricultural regions in America
and one which for its agricultural pro
ductions alone could make profitable
such a railroad; but in striking westward
toward West Virginia this- road is point
ing toward the very heart of the timber
and coal district of that Stale by the
most direct and shortest line obtainable.
It is possible for this line to be extended
into these coal , and timber fields and
open up a region of almost infinite
freight-creating possibilities, and then,
by extending eastward, reach, tidewater
at some pomt on the , Chesapeake bay,
thus creating a new through line from
the Chesapeake to the coal and timber
lands of West Virginia and on to flack
water at some river point in the latter
Stale, securing river transportation also.

Washington, June 26 Secretary Her
bert received a cablegram yesterday an
nouncing that Commander Eugene "W.
Watson, of the Ranger, which has been
at Guayaquil, Ecuador, since June 1st,
was seriously ill. The dispatch came
from the executive offijeer of the Ranger,
who gave no further details.
The gunboat Castine left Laurenco
marques, Mozambique to-day, for Cape
Town, on her way to rejoin the South
Atlantic fleet at Buenos Ayres, having
completed her mission to the East coast
of Africa and Madagascar.

The coast defense vessel Amphitrite
has been attached to the North Atlantic
squadron, with orders to report by tele
graph to Commodore Bunco to-morrow
for instructions. '
Washington, June 26 The single tur-
retted monitors will be removed from
the James river below Richmond, to the
League Island navy yard as speedily as
possible. Secretary Herbert announced
this as his final decision in the matter to
day,after fully considering the objections
raised by citizens of Virginia, protesting
against their removal. The Secretary
says the Government has been put to
considerable expense in maintaining the
fleet uselessly at Richmond, where they
cannot be sept m repair and these condi
tions would be reversed at League
Island, where the vessels could be econ
omically kept in readiness for an emer
gency and in the meantime utilized for
training purposes, both for the regular
service and for the Is aval Reserves.
Railway Building for the Year.
Chicago, June 26 The Railway Age
has compiled statistics from its own cor
respondents in ail parts of the country to
show the work of railroad building in
the different States from January 1st to

a total of 611 miles of track laid on sixty
five lines, against 535 miles on fifty-one
lines in the first half I of 1894. From
work now in sight, it looks as if the new
track added in 1895 would aggregate
2,500 miles, with a possibility of a better

London, June, 11 The House of Com
mons was crowded at the opening of the
sitting at noon tj-day, when Sir William
Harcourt announced that Lord Salisbury
was engaged in the formation of a Mini
istry.
Mr. Labouchere, Radical, asked Mr.,
Akere-Douglas, the chief Conservative
whip, what would be the procedure next
week, and when a general election would
take place.
Mr. Akers-Douglas replied that the
Conservatives were most anxious to dis
solve at the earliest possible moment.
He then moved that writs be issued for
the re-election . of the members of the
House of Commons who . had accepted
office in the new Ministry.
The House then adjourned until Mon
day. .
Mr. A. J. Balfour has issued an ad-
dress to his constituents asking for re
election upon the occasion of his accept
ing office in the new Cabinet. He writes:
"The late Government have declared
their inability to further conduct the
business of the country. Practice and
public convenience required them to dis
solve Parliament, but this duty I they
have cast upon Lord Salisbury, who has
accepted office in order to appeal to the
electors at the earliest moment."
Paris, June 28 The correspondent of

was reached during the festivities of last
week in celebrating the opening of the
canal. This evening the Emperor and
German admirals dined aboard the
