WILL INTERVENE IN SOTH CAROLINA. VOliERT R. TOLBERT'S VISIT MERE. Hrothr ! the Man Mortally Wounded at Phoenix Appeal for Federal Protec tion for Hli Family HI Story of the Shooting. Washington Post. The race riots in North and South Carolina have attracted the attention of the President and his Cabinet and uvret' subject of consideration at thn (Jabinetj meeting yesterday." It is r yarded a a certainty that the Presi-U-nt will direct United States Marshals 10 proceed to che scene of the trouble in South Carolina, where the situation ix much more serious than at Wfliuing ton. In the latter city there is hardly likely to be any further difficulty. The new city government has taken possession, and though the selection of Col. Waddell as Mayor was the action of a public meeting and not the result of an election, it is not deemed a case i- calling for the interference of the Federal authorities. Gov. Russell, of North Carolina, has not yet appealed to the President for troops and it is not - believed that he will do. so, specially as the city seems tp have re turned to its normal condition. The President could of course, order troops to Wilmington if he deemed the situa tion sufficiently serious, the precedent for such action having been established bv Mr. Cleveland at the time of the Chicago railroad strikers' riots. In South Carolina, however, where Federal officials have been driven from their posts of duty and where the loca authorities . are either unwilling to preserve order or else are not able to do so, the situation is such as to de mand interference If the United States Marshals cannot restore order the President will undoubtedly take a more decided step and and direct troops to proceed to the scene of dis turbance. LAW COVKIUSO TII1C CASK. The law in the case reads as follows: Sec. 5,209. Whenever insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combina tions, or conspiracies in any State so obstructs or hinders tin execution of the laws thereof, and of the United States, as to deprive any portion or class of the people of such State of any of theWights, privileges, or immunfties or projection named in the Cohstitu tionkuid securexl by the laws for the protection of such rights, privileges.or immunities, and the constituted au thorities of such State are unable to protect, or, '-from any cause, fail In or 'refuse protection of the people in such rights, such fact shall .be deemed a denial by such State of the equal pro . taction of the laws to which they are entitled under the Constitution of the United State; and in all such cases, or whenever any such insurrection, : violence, unlawful combinations, or conspiraoes, opposes or obstructs the due -course of justice under the same, it Khali be lawful for the .President, and it shall be his duty, to take such measures, by the employment of the militia, or the land and naval forces of the JUnited States, or of either, or by othr means as he may deem necessary for the suppression of such insurrec tion, domestic violence, or combina tions. ilODKUT It. TOLUKRT'S MISSION. n Robert lied Tolbert, Republican nominee for Congress from the Third South Caroliua District, whose candi dacy has thus far resulted in the death of sixteen persons, the result of a riot at the Phoenix polls on Thursday, is at the St. James Hotel. Mr. Tolbert . came to Washington- yesterday, morn: ing for the purpose of presenting au appeal to tjie President, through the Attorney General, for Federal protec tion for his. family and property, from the actions of his iohtieal opponents. Mr. Tolbert called upon the Attorney - ''General yesterday afternoon and pre .sented ''his cjaseUwhich was submitted tl h disturbance between Mr. Tolbert' brother, T. P. Tolbert and Boar Eths ridge, a Democrat, and in the fighting that followed Ethsridge was killed and T. P. Tolbert was mortally wounded. Since then a number of negroes, who supported the Republican ticket upon which Mr. Tolbert was nominated ,and who were alleged to hare been present at the polls at the time of the disturb ance, have been hunted down and hot by the whites. The number of killed Mr. Tolbert places at sixteen. j HIS STORY OF THE SHOOTING. Mr. Tolbert's statement of the diffi culty varies from , that previously re ported through the press. He says that he was at Abbeville on Tuesday, and his brother, TV P. Tolbert, was at Phoenix. T. P. Tolbert occupied a eat at a table near the polls, and he had a box in which the negroes who were refused the privilege of voting under the illiteracy law dropped affi davits, made out in their handwriting, and which were being obtained by the Republicans for the purpose of show ing that the negroes were prevented from votintr illetrallv. Mr. TolheriV purpose was to use these affidavits in a contest in case, the Democratic nomi nee, A. C, Lattinjer, was elected, and if the number of affidavits obtained showed that a sufficient number of negroes had been prevented from vot ing to change the result of the elec tion. The polls opened at 7 o'clock, and shortly after 9 o'clock Boax Ethsridge, a prominent business man of that section, kicked over the box in which the affidavits were being deposited, with the result that Mr. Tolbert WASHINGTON LETTER.

In tho head is an affliction unknown to him, but the president is naturally proud of the confidence in him, which the re election of a Republican majority of tha House and the election of State legislatures, which insure a big Repub lican majority in the Senate, expressed and anxious that his future policy in connection with our nevly acquired territory and his recommendations to Congress1 shall be of such a nature a to merit a continuance of that con fidence. If a conscientious desire to do the right thing for the country will enable him to do, it, he will succeed. Having failed in the election, the Democrats have returned to their old occupation of trying to create dissen sion among the victorious Republicans.

Hear ing of the shooting of his son, the elder Tolbert jumped into a bugjry, with his ten year-old nephew, and started for Phoenix. When he arrived at Harris place, where the Tolbert home is located, he found that his son had been carried home, and also that a gang of whites were there demanding of the wounded man to know who had shot Ethsridge. The wounded Tol bert replied that he believed that Ethsridge was shot by members of his own party..and, incensed at their fail ure to fix the murder on the Tolbert people, the members of the gang opened fire on the father and young boy in the buggy; both of whom were severely wounded. SOUGHT REFUGE AT COLUMBIA. The elder Tolbert drove "rapidly away from his "home, and, although suffering 'from his wound, tried to reach the next town. The plunging of the horsb threw the , boy from the buggy, and he was afterward picked up and carried to a neighbor's, where he still remains. The elder Tolbert .was met on the road by his son Robert who took him to Verdry for medical aid. Froui there the father was taken to Abbeville, and while being still any other government may threaten to do. In other words, Spain must understand that European interference even if it could be brought about, would not change the policy of this government one iota.

He refuses to discuss any of the numerous sen-j sational stories dealing with the re lations, both personal and official, be tween himself and Admiral Sampson, but has expressed an ardant desire to get hold of the man who started the story that he was a Democrat. He says that as a Naval Officer he has no politics other than his country and does not consider any other necessary; All taxpayers are respectfully asked to pay their taxes on this round and save trouble.

Not only is there a majority of Republicans in the House, but many of the Democrats elected are known to be sound money men, or it is known that Jthey actually ran on a sound money platform. Mr. McAleer of Pennsylvania and Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts, both ran aa sound money Democratic candidates. In New York Underhill of the West chester district Is known to be as good a 60ucd money man as any Republi can in Congress, although he, in com mon with all the other Democratic candidates, kept silent on the subject during the campaign. It was said that two of the Democratic Congress men at least who have been elected In Brooklyn had promised Mr. Shepherd and other sound money leaden tliat . under no circumstances would they be for any other than sound money measures in Congress. There, of course, must be other sound money Democrati3 Congressman from other States, especially in the States where the Democrats either refused to ap prove the Chicago platform or passed ; sound money resolutions Iu their v State conventions. Full returns of Tuesday's elections, make few changes in the Sun's fore cast of the political status of the Uni ted States senate in, the Fifty-sixth Congress. The Republicans gain a Senator in each of the nine following . States: California, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, West Vir ginia; and Wisconsin. These changes will give the Republicans a clear ma jority to work in harmony with the to the administration. Secretary Long has not decided what duty Admiral Schley will next be assigned to, but will endeavor to meet the Admiral's wishes after conferring with him. , According to the annual report of Commissioner-General T.

While on the road he sent several telegrams, trying to ascertain what his brother's condition was, but to these he. received no response! eserday he again telegraphed to a friend at Greenwood.. and received an unsigned reply, which conveyed no in formation whatever, but advised Mr. Tolbert to go to Columbia to see his father and brother. Mr. Tolbert says that tae community is in such state of fear that no one opposed to the riotous whites dares declare himself. Mr. Tolbert is a large cotton planter ami mm ow uer. auu ins iamny is one of the richest in that section of the State.

During the year 3,030, who were undesirable, from one cause or another, principally taiperism, were debarred. Mr. Powderly recom mends that the head tax be increased from $1 to $2, to provide a fund to "enlarge the bureau operation to its full capacity for usefulness in protect ing American citizens Irom disease, tax payers f i om the imposition of un just burdens, and the hospitals, charitable and penal .institutions of the country from demorlization by the corrupt citizens of other countries.' Adjutant General Cor bin, in his annual report, refers to existing law which prevents the enlistment in the armv of persons not citizens of the V S , and says: "The new conditions will however, make a modification of this statute desirable, to the end that the nli.ttment of from one company to m. tiRttalion of natives for each xesriment serving in Cuba, Porto.

The above symptoms are often attri buted by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fall to ob tain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause; which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad der trouble and both need the same remedy.
