Seldom has be terminus witnessed such an inpiriDg send-off. Every appearance of the field marhal was the signal for ringing liurahs, lusty shouts and good wishes, 'he moment the veteran commander rrived he was surrounded by military fficers and other friends and held a emi-private reception in the waiting oom. After personal leave-takings, iord Roberts reached the platform, rhere general greetings and parting rords were exchanged. Many ladies pressed forward to get last handshake and bid him God peed. One woman, with her eyes tiled, with tears, exclaimed: "God less you and bring you safely back to s." This wish was,echoed and re-echoed a varying phraseology by hundreds hronging the vicinity of the train. AMERICAN CARGO SEIZED. hance For Dispute with Great Britain Has Presented Itself. A special to the New York Herald :om Washington says: Secretary of State Hay will have a borough investigation made of the reported seizure by British cruisers of everal cargoes of American flour off )elagoa Bay, South Africa. Initrucions have been sent to the American onsul at Lorenzo Marquez, Portugese, South Africa, directing him o make a thorough inquiry and to do verything in his power to prevent ilegal interference with American comaerce by either belligerent. Ambassador Choate has also been ustructed to make inquiries into the ases and to make such recommendaion to the British foreign office as he facts in the case may justify. The seizure has giyen rise to a lot of peculation as to what this governlent is going to do in the matter.

All tnese ngures win De avauuuic iu u few days, however, and will speak for themselves. Charleston county will head the list as to the new companies 1 chartered, with twenty-six, with a 1 capital stock of $750,900. Richland and Anderson come next. % Hanna a South Carolinian? A prominent South Carolinian talking about South Carolina's history, as he was looking over some of the recently discovered revolutionary records in the state house, expressed the belief that Mark Hanna was a descendant of the Hanna family of this state. The father and son served in Marion's brigade, and General Hauna, who lived in Chesterfield, is known to have moved to Indiana in 1806. Congressman Norton, who was present, said that when he went back to Washington, he proposed to ask the famous Mark about it as a matter of curiosity. % Governor May Be Sportsman. Governor McSweeney has received a personal invitation from the president of the League of American Sportsmen to become a member of that organization, formed eighteen months ago, and having for its primary object the protection of American game. Several governors and other prominent men from all over the country have joined the organization, which i3 rapidly increasing in power. ?** Chancre of Schedule.

J.H6 UFBd UUUItJH U1 tilO Vibbuuo nuc ^ brought out of the mine Sunday morning, and never in the history of j mine disasters were human beings so c horribly mutilated. It was nearly 11 ^ o'clock before the first five bodies ^ were taken out, twenty-eight hours after the explosion. At 5:30 o'clock three were brought to the surface and D at 6:50 o'clock three more came up in ^ the cage of the main shaft. c At least twelve other bodies were in sight, but could not be reached on ac- ^ count of the debris. The estimates of the number of the dead were conflicting. A. B. c Braznell, president of the Stockdale ^ Coal company, said he believed that but twenty or twenty-five men had been killed. Men who were working j around the mine say thirty-five to 1 forty men were down the mine shaft in the cages, while about twenty climbed down the steps in the eleva- F tor shaft. From fifty-five to sixty men 3' were in the mine, and of this number c but twelve have been recovered alive. ^ All the rest, whatever the number, are e dead. v BANK PRESIDENT ARRESTED. / i Cole Charged With Misappropriating Government Fund*. Charles H. Cole, former president j of the Globe National bank of Boston, . j which failed several days ago, was ar- \ rested at Bedonda, Cal., by United g States Marshal Osborne. The arrest e was made on a warrant charging him with misappropriation of government , funds. The information was sent from \ Boston. Mr. Cole has been connected with the Globe bank for thirty years, and his resignation, which took place two ? mr?r>tha den. caused a sensation in i

a separate depot, a very handsome af- ( fair. Work will commence at once. ( A handsome park is to be in front , of the depot. All the tracks in the , vicinity are to be changed so that no j train will have to back into the depot. < The old South Carolina and Georgia ] track will be torn up for some distance , on each side of the present junction. ] The Coast Line has joined the South- , ern and will go into a terminal compauy to operate the depot. The building will cost about $100,000 and the money for it is now in hand. This J will be welcome news to Columbians. Our Industrial l!oom. Chief Clerk Gantt, of the office of j secretary of state, has not completed the statement of the charters granted during the present year, but the work bas progressed sufficiently to show that the year now ending has reached ] high water in the matter of industrial development. South Carolina's record for 1899 will be one on industrial lines < that will be hard for auy state to surpass. The commissioned companies will show an aggregate capitalization of very nearly eleven millions of dollars, as against six million last year. The showing as to ^ie companies chartered, these whose organization i has been completed and have gotten , into operationg will be equally as re- 1 markable and significant. Ta remarkable showing made by the cotton mill J enterprises started up during the year 1 has already been given. Equally as striking will be the showing made by ' the cotton seed oil mills, the lumber concerns and the tobacco ware houses. - " ??i ? t

U ? the answers to which will determine the plans and purposes of the Populist party. As long ago as the spring of 1898 the Populists decided to hold their convention in advance of all other parties in 1900, as a concession to ahe middle of the road, or radical,faction of the party. Senator Butler's letter is as follows: "Sir?As you know, the national committee, at its last meeting at i Omaha, in June, 1898, passed a reso- ! lution known as the Omaha agreement j to the effect that our national conven- i tion should be held at least one month j before the old party convention. The Republican national committee has just held a meeting and fixed June 19th as the time for heir next national convention. The Democratic committee has been called to meet January 22d to fix a date for their convention. They will probably hold their convention a week or two before, or a week or two after, the Republican convention. I write now to get the concensus of opinion of our national committee on the following points: "Shall I call a meeting of the national committee to fix the time of our next national convention? "2. If yes, what time and place do j you favor for the committee meeting? \ "3. Or shall I take the vote of the I national committee as to the time of j holding the next national convention by referendum vote? "4. If you favor the referendum vote, what date do you favor for the national convention? "5. .Shall I invite the silver Repubcan national convention to meet at the same time and place with us?

has resolved itself into a bitter personal fight between Governor Johnston and Senator Morgan. The developments that are now in sight promise one of the liveliest political sansationsof recent years in the south. Governor Johnston has written Senator Morgan a letter in which a demand is made for the retraction of his statement that Johnston was a stockholder in a trust that had to leave Alabama and seek shelter in New Jersey. Commenting on this Senator Morgan aaj3: "I shall make a retraction, eh? When I speak I know what I am talking about. Loan that copy to me, please. I shall is^ue a statement above my own name, at once, in which I shall deal with this demand. This is the opening that I have been looking for, and I can prove everything that I have said, and Johnston will be sorry he spoke.' SHORT SESSION OF HOUSE. Time Spent In Filibustering Against a Motion to Adjourn. A Washington dispatch says: No business was transacted at the brief session of the house Wednesday. The time was occupied in a filibuster against a motion to adjourn, having been inaugurated by the Democrats and some Republicans in order to give Mr. Grow, the venerable ex-speaker of the house, an opportunity to reply to some statements made Tuesday by Mr. Gaines, of Tennessee. Mr. Payne, the majority leader, was defeated on two roll calls. After Mr. Grow had made his statement the house adjourned until 12 o'clock, January 3d, 1900.
