CXXJSaW PHOBPBAT* RIGHTS.
The State Takes the Lands Away From
the Company.
CHABLXSTOJr, 8. C., March 2.—The war
between the state and the Coosaw Phosphate
Company waa inaugurated to-day, when the
phosphate commissioners, who were driven
to Beaufort yesterday, embarked in a tug
chartered by the state, and with Gov. Till
man on boa and a* commander-in-chief of the
army and nary of South Carolina, went
down to the Cooaaw river and took pos
session of the territory, to which the
Cooaaw company claim exclusive right.
Possession was taken by each member of
tbe c itnmission dropping a lead line over
board and s.undUig the bottom. Tbe
Coo*aw company has shut down its
machinery and a now idle, with its 1,000 or
mors employes. *
THE COMPART WILL FIGHT.
It is undereioood that In case any person
or company attempt* to mine rock in ta- ir
territory the company will apply to the
United States court for an injunction, as
tbe river is a navigable stream and under
th Jurisdiction of tne United Sta tea. It is
understood that it is going to be a war of
froezeout. Tbe Cooaaw Company will not
mine any rook, and tbe United 8 ate* court
will be invoked to prevent anybody else
from inning phoeplivte in the
disputed territory. The Coosaw Compny
last year shipped 107,000 tons of rock to Eu
rope, and in the litigation| is*, prolonged this
much will be withdrawn from the market.
Tbe land phosphate miners are jubilant and
already talk o( raising tbe prices of land
rock to (0 a ton. The litigation also is ex
pected to boom the reoently discovered
Florida phosphates. No process has yet
been issued by tbe United States oourt here.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
(Tty the Auoclated Press.)
Charleston, H. C., March 2.—At the
last session of the legislature an act was
passed providing for anew phosphate com
mission of five persons to take charge of
the phosphate industries of the state. The
oommission was authorized to throw open
to ail miners territory for the past two
years mined by the Coosaw company, under
a grant from the state, and claimed by the
oompanv as territory exclusively their
own. The Coosaw company claim that
thev have a perpetual and exclusive right
to this territory so long as they pay the
rontal, but to-day the phosphate commis
sioners took possession of the territory in
the name of the state, against the protest of
the company.
TO BE re-leased.
The territory will, it is presumed, now be
leased to other companies which comply
with the requirements of thecoinraissioners.
The Coosaw company have shut down their
works and will take legal action to pr tret
their rights. The shut-down throws
40) miners and other operatives
out of employment and will make
a large reduction in the income to the state
from royalties. Last year the Coosaw com
pany paid $107,000 royalty to the state, and
in the lost twenty years have paid $1,300,-
000. The legal development sure awaited
with great interest. It is not improbable
that the case will And its way to the United
States circuit court.

WORK OFTHEEOIL WORM
RESULT OF T-E GOV3RNMSNTS
INVESIIGATIOK
The Damage Inflicted on Cotton by 'he
Insect Far Le- s Than Generally Sup
p& ed-The Ravagee of Other Insects
i rroneously Ascribed to the 801 l
Worm.
Wa-hwotcj, Mar'll 2— The entomol
ogist of the Uruted State* department of
agriculture, Dr. Ri.ey, has lust an emitted
to Secretary Rusk for publication a report
on an invesngattan of the boll worm of
cotton. Tea investigation was provided
for under tbe act making an ap
propriation tor the department <A
agriculture for tb* current fiscal
year. Although only a progress report,
the writer, P. W. Maliy, who hat charge
of the deta-la of tbe investigation, under the
d.rection cf the entomologist, and who has
been constantly in the fie.d since last July,
prsaen's seme facts cf great impertano* to
planters.
THE DAMAGE IXFXJCTXD.
He points out, ia tha first place, that
the damage irfl.cied on cotton by this ia
eect is far lee- test has been generally sup
posed. Careful investigation showing dam
aged he.:* m fiends, smouniing to 2S t*r
cwr.t. in damage, indicated that less tnan a
third cf tb A damage was due to tr.e b>U
w- rn. It is oevertbel*** generally
agreed that the damage was fu.ly up to the
average, tome even tninking that it was
above normal, white none estimated it as
lower than usual. The conclusion is evi
dent that many planters fail to diet ngiuh
between the boll worm ravagw f os tnose
of other insects, from phjt.ologieal phe
nomena of cotton plant, and from some of
the fungoid diseases.
VaLCABLS observations.
In order to hsip the planter- in this mat
ter, the report offers some valuable obser
vations upon insect ravages easily con
founded with those of the boil w rm. A con
siderable tort:on of the report is directed to
the consideration of rerned.es, and to
the preeeniatioa of tbe results of the
experiment* male during the past
sea* n. This would indicate that, on the
whole, of tbe remedies so far employed,
that of using corn as a trap crop teems to
be the mas: satisfactory. In reference to
surtc eed protection not uncommonly em
ployed, namely—tre use of lights to a'tract
moth* in tneir flight through the field,
somewhat slight favorable results seem to
be far more than counterbalanced by the
large destruction of parasitical insects.
INSXCT DIB* ASX*.
A chapter is devoted to insect diseases
affseting tbe boll worm, but with these, as
indsed as wall as with most of the field work,
from tte very late date at which the appro
pnatlon for this investigation became avail
able last year, it has been imp esible to do
much more than to provide effectual means
for continuing the work tinder more
favorable conditions dur.ng the com
ing season. In this respect the
re;ort furnishes ample testimony as to the
importance of early action on the part of
c ingress with rererenee to appropriations
for ag iculture. For the work necessary to
be done in tbe field, appropriations not
available, as ■*** tost of lart
year, until the middle of July,
are of little avail for Immediate
n*e. The report In question will be pub
lished at Bulletin Ne. A of the division of
entomology, United Hlate* department of
agriculture, and tnose who are interested
in tbe subject should immediately address
theur applications to the department.
A BOUNTY ON MAPLE SUGAR
Republic* ns Fleecing the Country to
Secure Re-election.
Washington, March t.—During tbe de
bate over the sorghum sugar paragraph of
tbe agricultural appropriation bill to-day
Mr. Plamb made a caustic attack upon Mr.
Morrill of Vermont end also upon Mr. Ed
munds for their insistence upon bounty
being paid to maple sugar producers as part
of the McKinley tariff bill. He declared
that for a time the whole bill had revolved
around tbe payment of two cents per pound
bounty to the maple sugar men.
Mr. Morrill interrupted Mr. Plumb with
some ironical suggestion, aud the Kansas
Senator said he wou and repeat that it might
go into permanent hlltory taat a bounty
iad been put in as a matter personal to
Senator Morrill, the members of the
finance committee stating it would
eld Senator Morrill iu bis re
election. On their personal solicitations he
(Mr. Piumbi had voted for the bounty on
tbe distinct understanding that it would be
rejected in conference, but Mr. Edmunds
bad then written a letter which, was now,in
Senator Cullirn’a pocket, saying that if the
inaple sugar bounty was not retained he
( r. Edmunds) would be paired against the
tariff bill.
INIEHSTATB OOMKESCI
The Law on the Subject Said to Be
Practically a Dead Letter.
Washington. March 2—Attorney Gen
eral Miller made a motion iu the United
States supreme court to-day to advance for
argument the case of Charles Counseltnan
against Frank Hitchcock, United States
marshal for the Northern district of
Illinois, who has Mr. Counselman in
custody for refusal to answer certain
questions in regard to the inter
state commerce law. Attorney General
Miller, in bis motion, said that the import
ance of the case would lie underst-od when
it was stated that pending final decision.it
would be impossible to continue any inves
tigation into violations of tbe inter-state
commerce law, “nhich are now so numer
ous and so flagrant us practically to defeat
the operation of that law.”
NEW SENATORS ON THE FLOOR
Irby, Peffer and Kyle Making Ac
quaintances In the Senate.
Washington, March 2 —Senators-elect
Irby of South Carolina, Peffer of Kansas
and Kvlo of South Dakota were on the
floor of the Sen ato to-day. Mr. Peffer, as
the successor of Senator Ingalls, attracted
most attention. Senator Plumb took him
around and selected him a seat on the re
publican sido. Mr. P-ffor said, however,
that he should be strictly independent, vot
ing according to tho sentiments cf the peo
ple's party of Kansas and his own convic
tion*. He says there will boa third Darty
nomination in 1892.
NO SHOW FOR THB FORCE BILL.
The President Had No Intention of
Lending in a Message.
Washington', March 2.—^With Johnnie
Davenport the wish was father to the

wbat tuey thought of tbe force bill by
refusing to champion Mr. Hoar Ur tbe

Mnnderson to the place, who was at heart
not in favor of the force bill.
