Another provost-guard was drunk yes
terday, and threatened to run the bay
onet of bis gun through some negroes If
they did not get off the sidewalk. Mayor
Russ'had him up before the Mayor's
court, and he sent to Colonel Burgwyne,
and told him if be did not have the fel
low court-martialed, he would' put him
on the roads for 80 days. The Colonel
agreed to court-martial the man.
The executive committee of the peni
tentiary through recommendations of
Superintendent Mewborne discharged
Mr. W. J. Bradshaw, the most compe
tent official out there yesterday. He is a
splendid railroad man, and Las had
charge of the convicts who worked on
railroads. Mr. Bradshaw Is a Democrat,
so the executive committee decided not
to have any more railroad .work done,
but to use the convicts on the farms.
Then they dismissed the Democrat. :

It has been decided by the penitentiary
board of directors to establish a reform
atory for youthful criminals. This
reformatory will be established at the
Anson State Farm." Suitable build
ings will be erected, for white and col
ored criminals, and the work for each
regulated about the buildings and on the
farm. This reformatory is for crimi
nals under 10 years old. There are
now about 80 of tlie.-e young crimi
nals.
There are now 08 convicts making
shirts In the peuilenUary shirt factory
for a Northern firm. The monthly out
put is 2,400 dozen, which pays the State

the shirt ' makers are federal prison

8 lANOHAt, September 22. A local
rumor la current here to the effect that
tbnl the Emperor of China Is
dead. No details are obtainable, but It
is said the gates of Ptktn aie closed.
Pkkin, September 24. An Imperial
edict just Issued definitely announces
that the Emperor of China has resigned
his power to the Empress (Dowager Em
press) who bas ordered tho ministers to
deliver to her In future their official re
ports.
It is difficult to obtain reliable Infor
matlon at the palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the Emperor was subservient
and a mere figurehead, the Dowager
Empress permitted him to remain In
peace, but as soon as lie attempted to
act on his own Initiative his practical
deposition was Hie result. Ills principal
advisor, Hang Yumol, the Cantonese
reformer, fled In spite of the vigorous
attempt made to arrest him, and, It Is
said,. Is now on bit way lo Bhang'
bal, Tbe effect of the change most be
great.
In all probability LI Burg Chang will
be reinstated In powor and Russian It
fluent will Increase' Tbe hopes of re
form so ardently cherished by the Intel'
llgcnt factions of the Chinese, are now
Impossible of fulfilment.

Havaha, September M. Relations be
tween the American and Spanish evacu
atlon commissioners, which were to
strained recently that a break and an
appeal to Washington seemed Inevitable
are much easier now, though still tense
enough to be uncomfortable.
Tbe relaxation Is due In the first place
to tbe receipt of tbe Spanish response to
evacuation note , The American com
mtaalon had determined to tend a sharp
second note on the next day If the re
sponse was still lacking.
Tbe teoond thing lessening the ttral
was the receipt yesterday of a conimuni
cation virtually granting the American
domand for the landing of the relief sup
plies on tbe steamer Comal, though de
tails of this are still lo be arranged.
fpanitb private soldiers, despairing of
getting full pay here, are tired of Cuba
and will be glad to return lo their homes
at toon at possible. Blanco himself It
anxlout lo get back lo Spain. He told
friend last week, that he "would like to
m ' gel home this week, but I fear they will
koop me here at least two months"

Washington, September 23 If any
person bas n idea that the commission
to investigate the conduct of the war,
which will hold Its first meeting tomor
row, is going to be a whitewashing af
fair, they would better get rid of It at
once, If they wish to avoid disappoint
ment. It is going to be a real investiga
tion, and those who have anything to
tell can do so with confidence that thev
will be protected from the wrath of otlli
ials aga.nst whom they testify by no less
person than the President of the
United States. President McKlnley is
satisfied that there was mismanagement,
perhaps worse, and he wishes it to be
located and tbe guilty punished, regard
less of their rank or personality. Every
member of the commission has been per
sonally 'informed of the President's
wishes. There were doubtless occasions
when the suffering of the soldiers was
unavoidable a part of the unprepared
ness of the country for war, but there
were oil er- occasions when there was
suffering that could have been avoided
had officials charged with certain dutle
properly performed them. The President
wishes the line thoroughly drawn be
tween the two classes of Buffering. Mr.
McKinley docs not believe that Secretnrj
Alger failed to perform his duty, or had
knowledge of any wrong doing ou the
part of any of bis subordinates.
The President and General Miles illlTor
as to when our soldiers should be sent to
Cuba. The Presidents thinks they should
itart about the middle of October, while
General Miles doesn' think it will be safe
for the men's health to send them before
December. The President's orders will,
)f course, be obeyed when it is issued.
lie is the Commander-in-Chief.
The civil service reformers are in a
tale of mind because Postmaster Oencr
l Smith, and Assistant Secretary Web
ler Davis, of the Interior Department,
have gone on the stump for their party
1'here is no law against a mum'ior of the
Cabinet making stump speeches for his
pirty, but during the two Cleveland ad
ministrations and that of HarrUon it
was not done, and the civil service re
formers thought it would not again be
lone. .
In view of the idea that tho "Rough
Riders" are toughs, entertained iu sonu
quarters, the following from Rev, Henry
Brown, who was lliolr Chaplain, and
who is to be appointed Chaplain in the
regular army, la interesting: "They are
diamonds In the rough. As brave
at Hons, fearless In tho face ol
danger, but withal gentlemen of tho first
water. They are not tough characters,
tome people are led to believe, but on
the contrary are constituted of the ma
lerlal from which honest, good-hearted
men are made. At an evidence of their
Qod-fearlng disposition, I can say with
pride that In Santiago I bad larger con'
zreeatlont at mv services than were at
those held In any other regiment down
there." Quite a number of the "Rough
Riders" have been In Washington this
week, and no soldiers have been made
more of-.

Paris, September 22. Tbe situation
here is generally admitted to be grave by
both press and people. The conflict be
tween the civil and military authorities
becoming acute. Tho sudden and un
expected action of General Zurlinden,
the military governor of Paris, In prose-
utlng Colonel Picquart on the charge of
forgery and using forged document
assumes a grave aspect on account of the
circumstances attending this interven
tion of the military authorities iu a civil
court.
At the present moment when the po
litical atmosphere is surcharged wi'h
dangerous electricity, generated by the
Dreyfus affair, the general who has just
quitted the cabinet in defiance of civil
authority and without consulting his
sucie.Bor or tho premier takes an im
portant step.
In ordinary circumstances the military
governor is empowered to act Independ
ently, but, now that the Dreyfus question
has become a great national matter,
every preceding in the affair has state
importance, Qeneral Zurlinden's ignor
ing of this obvious fact Is very signifi
cant
He comes forward as the defender of
the army, the prosecutor of the supposed
calumniators and the resolute opponent
of a revision of the case.
From this to an appeal to the public
n the Hue of the establishment of a dic
tatorship there Is no wide step.
