Additional Raidas Made Later in the
Pay. /
Charleston, S. C., July 13.—The dicta
tor oi South Carolina, Gov. Tillman, sat
ic the great state bar room in Columbia
this morning and pressed the button
which set in motion all tlio machinery of
th - law which is intended to crush out
the liquor business in this state. He suc
ceeded in stirring up in Charleston, 180
miles away, a sensation that with tlio ex
ception of the earthquake in 1880, has had
no equal since tha hoisting of the seces
sion flag in December, 1800.
THE CITY IN AN UPROAR.
Proceedings were begun beforo the sin
glesoidier who garrisons Fort Sumter had
heated the stars and stripes to kiss the
first rays of the rising sun, and, although
the first victim selected to vindicate the
majesty of the Evans dispensary law was
an humble citizen, the nows
spread liko wild tiro and iu a very
short time the city was in an up
roar. Staid business men. rich bankers,
humble artisans, lawyers, merchants and
mechanics all rushed to the scone of hos
tilities and joined in bitter denunciation
oi the summary aud tyrannical measures
that were being enacted within sight of
the place where the act of secession in
lsft) was emphasized by the raising of tho
Palmetto flag amid the huzzas of 35,000
excited people.
THE FIRST VICTIM.
The first victim of the dispensary law
is a very humblo Italian citizen named
Virulent Chiceo, who kept a posada in
Market street which was much frequent
ed by the hundreds of Italian laborers
who come here every year to work in the
phosphate mines. To these he furnished
Chiante, maccaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli,
paruiesan cheese aud other delicatessen
from his native country.
It was shortly after 7 o'clock, a. m.,
when six huge and ungainly countrymen
of tho one-gallus and wool hat stripe,
which Gov. Tillman affects, with huge
revolvers strapped around their waists,
appeared in front of Chieeo’s posada.
Their names, which will go down into
South Carolinahsyhistory as prominent
figures In this, the strangest war ever
Started in *hff bellicose little Palmetto
state, are Theodore G. Gaillard, who is
the chief of Gov. Tillman's liquor eon
stabuian, J. C. Elliott, William Swan,
IV. P. Jolly, J. M. Heap and Hu.yne Pep
per. The last named is a city man, and
the others come from different parts of
the state.
CONFISCATION UNDER WAT.
They were armed with a warrant for
Chiceo's arrest issued by a trial justice
and a paper called an injunction issued
by Circuit Judge Izlar. which latter gave
them the power to seize and confiscate
everything on the premises, which they
proceeded to do. Wagons were brought
up and loaded with Chiceo's delicatessen.
The constables proceeded to search the
premises, and even entered the bed-room
or < hiccos’s wife, who was sick in bed, in
their search for contraband goods. In re
ply to the remonstrance of Chicaco
a.-.iinst this proceeding they replied with
oaths that they would take everything in
the house except his wife aud children.
The goods were hurried off to the sheriff’s
office but subset) uently under tho advice,
it is thought, of the assistant attorney
general of tho state, who is on the scene
directing the raid, a number of boxes of
maccaroni and shaglictti were returned
to the house, of which the raiders still
hud possession.
LOOKED LIKE) A lUOT.
In the meantimo crowds of citizens had
gathered around tho scene of hostilities
aud tilings began to look squally for tlio
raiders. The air was filled with denpn
inations nnd threats of lynching were
htard on all sides. A lieutenant and
squad of policemen soon came up. Gaill
ard, the chiei of the raiders, ordered the
lieutenant in a peremptory manner to
el -r the mob. The police were ’evident
ly in sympathy with the crowd and the
lieutenant replied very tartly
tnat he knew his business, and would
conduct it in his own way. In a few mo
tneuts several' photographers arrived on
the scene with their kodaks, and were at
once vociferously urged to photograph
'ho spies. They succeeded in taking snap
shots of the ’constabulary, and these
W -1 he distributed broadcast through the
city iu a few hours.
CHICCO BAILED.
hi the meantime Chiceo had >ieen ta
ken to the trial justice’s office, where he
"is followed by a dozen prominent busi
ness men who offered bail in any amount.
A preliminary hearing was entered upon
a,l| l' hieco was bailed. His goods are
still in possession of tho sheriff and his

the EXCITEMENT INTENSE.
be excitement and indignation here is
n su pervades all classes of the
cuunnunity. The scene in the trial jus

1,1 a.' the examination Pepper, out of tho
“tables, lugged out his revolver and
threatened to shoot the defendant, who
had been cursing him. The officers inter
fered before the shooting couid commence.
The situation to-night is very critical.
Many citizens are arming themselves and
avow openly that they will shoot afly con
stable or spy who attempts to enter tlicir
premises.
THREE MORE RAIDS.
After the hubbub of tho morning’s
arrest had calmed down somewhat the
raiders started out. They entered three
restaurants, those of F. Mollenhauer on
King street and A. Anspaeh on Meeting
street and a barroom ou Market street.
In each place the premises were
searched from roof to cellar, but
in no case was any contraband
goods found. It spite of this the owners
were arrested and placed under bond in
the sum of SSOO each. The constabulary
were followed iu their rounds by a large
crowd, which by way of encouragement
to the victims entered tho places raided
and spent their money freely ordering
soft drinks. The raiding will be resumed
on Monday.

Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., July 15. —Presi-
dent Cleveland has enjoyed another quiet
day at Gray Gables with his family and
his only guest, Dr. Bryant. The Presi
dent'lnui no callers to-day. Mr. Cleveland

for au order empowering them to take
depositions of Patrick J. Gallagher and'
J. M. Davidson, wfio according to
their confessions allege that

of tho crime for which they are now im
prisoned. Judge McClung stated that in

the board of pardons, he did not think
that the court had the power to grant the
order, as requested. lie took the paper,
stating that he would look into the mat

date. This was an unexpected turn to
Gallagher’s attorneys, who expected
plain sailing.

SAVANNAH. GA., SUNDAY, JULY 1(1, 18!>:t.
GERMANY UNDER THE SPUR
Tiic Army Bill Passes tiie Reichstag
by a Vote of 201 to 185.
Twelve Speeches Made Upon the Bill
Before the Vote Was Taken and the
Opposition Stubborn to the Last.
The Emperor Very Impatient While
the Fight Was in Progress- The
Reichstag Adjourned for the Session
After the Vote—Von Caprivi May be
Made a Prince.
Berlin, July 15.—The Army bill was
passed by theroiehstag this afternoon by
a majority of 16, the vote standing 2(. 1 in
favor of the measure to 185 against it.
Twelve speeches were made upon the bill
before the vote was taken and the opposi
tion was stubborn to the last. Ou the
second reading yesterday the govern
ment’s majority was 11. To-day it was
16. After the bill had finally been adopt
ed the reichstag was declared closed.
The government hoped that the third
reading of the bill would be merely for
mal and that the session of the reichstag
would close in time to enable the emperor
and the ministers to congratulate each
other on the passage of tho bill over a
luncheon, but events were ordered oth
erwise. Soon after the bill was put on
its final passage aud after tho speaking
had commenced, it became certain that
the leaders of tlio opponents of the gov
ernment meant business and they
did not intend to let the
measure be adopted in a
perfunctory manner. The atmosphere
of the house felt too electric for formali
ties. Speaker after speaker paid loss at
tention to attacking or supporting the hill
than to railing at their political oppo
nents. The chancellor, secure iu tho gov
ernment. majority of 11 votes given yester
day on the second reading of the bill,
wasted no words in responding to the at
tacks made upon the measure. He lis
tened to the discussion for an hour and a
half and then disappeared from tho house,
knowing that the bill was safe.
TIIB KAISER IMPATIENT.
It was learned subsequently that he
had left the house to see the emperor.
The kaiser had become impatient and had
driven up to tlfe minister's private en
trance. Tlio chancellor was summoned
to meet him. They w ere closeted together
in the chancellor’s private room for half
an hour.- It is understood that, the kaiser
urged the chancellor to have the bill car
ried through the house at once, as lie
desired to start to-night for Lille from
which place ho intends to go to Born
holm. an island belonging to Denmark.
He did not desire to leave Berlin until lie
knew postively the result of the vote on
his pet measure. The chancellor re
turned to the house and spoke privately
to Herr Von Levetzow, tho president.and
several members, with a view to expedi
ting the close of the disc-ssion.
The stream of talk was still steadily
flowing on with no sign of a cheek. The
emperor, impatiently fuming outside,
called for Freiherr Von Stumm
Halberg, who went out and
reported progress. Probably finding that
he could get nothing but indefinite stato
ments from this source, the emperor left
tliVbuilding before the division was tak
en.
The opposition organs contend this
evening that the majority of sixteen in
favor of the bill is not large enough to
cause the government to exult, especially
as it was won by the chancellor giving
pledges to tha agrarians and anti-Semites
that will certainly givo him trouble to
fulfill.
VON CAPRIVI TO rE MA|E A PRINCE.
The emperor is delighted at the pass
age of the bill, and rumor has it that lie
will confer upon Chancellor Von Caprivi
the dignity of a prince.
If the debate to-day had been short and
decorous, as was expected in official cir
cles, the emperor might have appeared in
the house to close ihe session. Instead
of closing tiie house 'in person, he
gave that task to the chancellor,
who read the imperial order immediately
after the passage of the bill. He also
read a speech from tho kaiser saving
that the federal governments were highly
satisfied with the deliberations, and had
firm confidence that tho reichstag would
grant the sacrifices m obilized as neces
sity. Events, the speech continued, have
not deceived the firm convictions of the
federal government that the proposed in
crease of the army docs not no beyond
the absolute requirements. They are all
the more grateful in that they found
that the conviction as to tiie necessity
of the increase, which is spreading more
and more iu tlio country, had finally
moved the Reichstag to adopt the bill.
Alter the reading of the speech the chan
cellor added: ‘lt is a special pleasure to
me to be charged to give you the emper
or's thanks.” President Von Levetzow
then called for three cheers for the em
peror and they were given with enthusi
asm by all the groups except the social
ists, who had left the house beforo the
chancellor had finished.
The initial expenditures arising from
the operations of the new military law
will be covered by a loan of 48.000,000
marks. This loan has been approved by
the budget committee. Eastern affairs
are again exciting anxiety in the German
foreign office.
Reports from St. Petersburg state that
a Russian expedition is going to Tolou
and thence to the Levant, when the
French fleet already there will be rein
forced.
Tho Khedive of Egypt on his visit to
the Sultan of Turkey will urge the latter
to use his suzerian rights to send a con
tingent of Turkish troops to Cairo. Mem
bers of the diplomatic circle here blame
the English policy in Egypt which per
mit? the kliediveto operate against Eng
land.

Failed After Thirty-five Years.
Carmi. 111.. July 15.—The old banking
house of Hoy 5c Webb made a general
assignment yesterday. Tho assets are
$316,307. and the liabilities #IBO.OOO. Hoy
Zt Webb have been iu business thirty
five years. The stringency in tho money
market is the chief cause of the failure.
Two Shot Down in a Field.
Knoxville. Tenn., July 15.—Near Clin
ton. Anderson county, yesterday. Free

anti mortally wounded while at work in a

assigned for the double murder. A
posse is now searching for Beets.
RUNS ON KANSAS CITY BANKS.
All the Institutions Meet the Crisis
Without a Crash.
Kansas City, Mo., July 15.—The failure
of the Bank of Kansas City yesterday
precipitated runs on three-fourths of tho
largest banks in the city to-day, and Del
aware and Ninth streets, the bunk streets,
were thronged as they have not been in
years. Crowds were on every corner,
and before and around every large
bank. At 10 o’elotk there were
two long double rows of depositors
in the Metropolitan and Missouri
National banks. The New York Life
building, in which they are located, was
thronged. The Metropolitan had two
paying tellers at work, and the Missouri
National had three. All the banks paid
out money fast, but the greatest excite
ment was about the Bauk of Commerce,
the two named just, above, and the First
National. The Bank of Commerce hud
three stalwart policemen before its door,
and none except those who had
business with the bank were al
lowed to enter. There had been
rumors about the bank, which has a
paid up capital of $3,000,000, for some
time, and last night tiie stockholders,
realizing that the bank was in danger,
owing to the excitement, signod a pledge
passing their estates into the bank's
assets. The sum total was aliout $4,000,-
000. At noon confidence had been in a
largo measure restored and the runs
were stopped, except the one on the Mis
souri National, which continued slowly.
Unless some bank mils the crisis for the
immediate present is passed.
HANGING OF THE CHOCTAWS.
The Execution of the Nine Indians
Not to be Interfered With.
Caddo, I. TANARUS., July 15.—The conference
arranged betwoen Gov. Jones of tho
Choctaw nation and Inspector Faisson of
the interior department took place yester
day. Gov. Jones speaks very little
English, and his private secretary acted
as interpreter. Those present at the con
ference refuse to say what took place,
but it can be stated with confidence that
on August 4 the execution of the death
sentence upon nine Choctaws will
take place. Inspector Faisson says he
is now convinced that the murderers
were fairly and properly tried and con
demned. Gov. Jobes says the same, and
adds that the sentence will be carried out
on Aug. 4. The members of the Locke
faction who were in town, say that if
the United States government wants to
save the lives of the condemned men, all
that is needed is to withdraw tiie United
States troops now statieffed at Antlers,
and tlio Locke people will do tho rest.
FEDERAL INTERFERENCE RESENTED.
Washington, July 15.—The secretary of
tiie interior to-day received from Chief
Join s, of the Choctaw nation, a letter in
which he pointedly expressed his views
as to tho interference of tho government
in the execution of the uino Indians sen
tenced to be shot on Aug. 4. The gov
ernor asserts that they were legally con

unwarranted interference of the United

A CHARTER LIKE THE CENTRAL’S
Gov. Carr’s Desire to Tax The Road in
Spite of it Causes a Row.
Raleigh, N. 0., Jnly 15.—A controversy
between Gov. Carr and the old state
members of the boiyd of directors of the
North Carolina railroad over the ques
tion of taxing the property of the corpor
ation, lias ended by the governor appoint
ing an entirely new representation
ou tho part of the state with
one exception. Tho road has a charter
exempting it from taxation and Gov. Carr
insisted that the charter exemption be
surrendered as had been done iu tho case
of tho Wilmington and Weldon road, but
the directors declined to adopt his sug
gestion anil, when their terms ex
pired, the governor appointed new men.
It is supposed that they agree with tho
governor's views upon the subject of tax
ation, and that they will vote io surrend
er tho charter exemption, placing the
road upon „he same level as other like
property in the state.

TORIES IN FOR ABIC FIGHT.
The Greatest War of Obstruction Ev
er Waged at Hand.
Government Business to bo Held Back
by Endless Motions and Divisions on
the Financial Clauses-They Hope to
Reduce tho Government Majority to
a Minimum and Force a Premature
Dissolution of Parliament.
Lodon, July 5. —Tho stubbornness of
the unionists against the home r ule bill
has been rendered only temporarily fu
tile. It has not been conq nested.
Messrs. Balfour, Chamberlain andChurc’.i
ill, assisted by Sir Henry James and Mr.
Goschen, decided yesterday upon obstruc
tion Jin anew form. They arc preparing to
hold back the government business by
opstructing tiie work on the estimates.
Tho home rule bill will be got
through the House of Commons about
August 21. Under ordinary eircum
stauces a fortnight more would wind up
tlio business of the session. The game of
the unionists is, however, to prolong tho
session, despite the heat and exhaustion,
for weekscafter tho House Lof ords shall
have rejected tho bill. They intend to
accomplish their purpose by means of
endless motions and divisions on the fi
nancial votes.
now TO CUT DOWN TIIE MAJORITY.
They hope thus to reduce the govern
ment majority to a minimum and eventu
ally to give tiie ministry premature disso
lution by their prolonged brawling and
bullying. Dissolution is now tho goal of
tho unionist effort, for the unionist lead
ers are confident that another appeal to
the eouutry would result in a lib
eral defeat. They say that Mr. Glad
stone’s repeated concessions to tho
Irish have alienated from him
thousands of unionist electors-
In their minds any means to hasten the
approach of the next general elections
are justified, as they hold that the rejec
tion of the home rule bill by the House of
Lords ought, according to the principles
obtaining in tho relations of the govern
ment to parliament, to be followed imme
diately by an appeal to the country.
TO BE THE MOST VEXATIOUS OF ALL.
Anew campaign of obstruction, there
fore, is about to bo opened, with the pros
pect of surpassing in sheer vexation of
spirit und waste of time, anything tiiat
parliament has
tion for this campaign Robert Hauburry.
conservative member for Preston, has
taken tiie field with almost a hun
dred amendments. Gibson Bowles, a
i^yed-in-the-wool Tory, member for L.ynn
regis, has given notice of fifty more.
As there will be a score more hardly mine
modest in their demands upon the pa
tience of the House of Commons, it is dif
ficult to guess when the end will be. It
is certain that the tory plan, unless
frustrated in a novel manner, will mean
the complete blocking of parliamentary
progress.
TO TAKE VACATIONS IN RELAYS.
While this plan has been hatching the
liberals hope and tha* It would bo rendered
vain by tho revolt of the young tory mem
bers, whose spirits already have been
sorely tried by the necessity of attending
obstructive debates. The conservative
whips have crushed this hope, however,
by arranging to give batches of members
of tho opposition their vacations by turn.
They Mill send away the different
groups in such order and numbers that
the liouso can be kept going. Early in
September, at the time set by the govern
ment fur prorogation, a large group of
unionists will be brought back fresh from
their outing to fight for delay tooth and
nail. These tactics will cause the minis
ters immeasurable embarrassment, as it
is almost impossible to closure the de
bates on the estimates. The liberals are
talking about the government's adopting
radical measures ,to thwart the opposi
tion's game, but as yet nobody lias dis
covered the means by which this can bo
done.
MUTINY OF TIIE PARNELLITES.
The mutiny of the Pameyitns under
John Redmond, against the financial pro
posals, will probably lie subdued. The
means, as usual, will be concession from
tho government. Tho Parneliites will
smother their opposition to the clauses in
question in consideration of fir. Glad
stone's promise to appoint a commission
on the relations of Ireland to Great Bri
tain.
A UNIQUE SPKEi n.
Kcir Bardie, who describes himself
politically as a democrat and socialist,
and is known as the most picturesque of
tile labor members, made a uuiuuo aud
interesting speech in the house last even
ing against the proposal to waste the
time of the members upoy a mummery
address of congratulation in connection
with the Duke of York's mar
riage. It was as melancholy as repre
hensible, he said, to fritter away time
on such frivolity when the government
had refused to grant a single hour fori.is
eussing the relief of tens of thousands of
unemployed, hall'-fod workingmen. Mr.
Bardie had the unspoken sympathy of
many members, and the ministers waited
in dumb fear that he might divide tho
house, and with the aid ol' the irrepressi
ble Mr. Fziboiu here, lead the government
Into a disastrous pitfall. He contented
himself, however, with the protest.
A FIGURE OF PATHETIC INTEREST.
In the two series of divisions taken
under tho closure resolution on the home
rule bill, Mr. Gladstone has been a figure
of pathetic interest. He has remained at
his post, despite his painful weariness,
through both evenings, and has trudged
faithfully into the lobby every timo
closure was voted. Last Thursday even
iug in the crowded liberal lobby he begun
talking with his nearest neighbor con
cerning the success of tho government.
After a few romarkshe asked this neigh
bor for his name. The member replied:
‘•John Burns, sir.” Mr. Giudstono
grasped the hand of tho celebrated
labor agitator, as he said pathetically:
“My sight is failing. Very often only the
contour of the person and the tone of his
voice enable mo to recognize him.” The
conversation then turned on the strain to
which the sessiou subjected the members
and Mr. Burns remarked: “Hard work
makes oue work, but at the same time
makes one love it.
“So I have felt,” Mr. Gladstone answer
ed, “and you may live man; years to put
that principle in’practice. We both have
been workers.” The conversation was

Q ULSTER'S THREATENED REVOLUTION.
Gen. Haroley, one of the most conspicu
ous officers in ihe British army aud a
close friend of numerous high officers,
has stirred the liberals by writing for tho
Ball Mall Gazette, au article in defense
of the most rabid contentions of the
Ulster loyalists. He says that British
troops would be justified morally and le
gally in refusing to suppress the revolt
In Ulster if the insurgents should be
fighting that they might remain citizens
of the United Kingdom. No act of parlia
ment, he argues, can force citizens or
United Kingdom to transfer their allegi
uneo.
WOULD CRY FOR VENGEANCE.
The people of Great Britain, he thinks,
although not following closely tho the
oretical discussion of the legal question,
would cry for vengeance the moment they
should'see tho loyal Ulstermen shot down
by troops. In closing. Gen Ham ley pays
his respects to the home rulers:
“There is no need to excite Ihe nation's
sympathy for tho Ulster loyalists by
pointing to the ignoble crew hi” deference
to whom tills crime (of home rule) has
been committed. Perhaps in the ardent
desire which will be felt to inflict penal
ties on the men mainly responsible it may
be discovered that the law can reach
those who even by parliamentary methods
have conspired to alienate a large part of
the United Kingdom.”

that is remarkable. An insult to ono is
an insult to all. and each is quick to re
sent any insinuation or reflection that

tho defense asked for a postixmcment of
the trial until Tuesday morning, which
was granted by Mayor pro tem R. I. Har
ris, tho mayor being disqualified by reason
of his relationship to the accused. A*
this timo Fred Rawlings made some re
mark about Mayor Houghton which
reached the ears of R. P. Roughton, and
after dinner ho called Fred Rawlings out
of the sturo of his cousin, John Raw
lings.

tween Rawlings' drug store and Adams’
grocery store, when both pulled their
pistols and began firing, it is not known
what cither of them said to provoke tha

enough to hear tlio conversation.

Adams 1 store as the mortal combat was
taking place, aud both fell together,
Rawlings on top of Roughton. A large
crowd soon collected und the dying men
were removed to tho rear of Rawlings’
drug store.

times between tiie left ear aud forehead,

duced death. Rawiings was shot twice,
one ball entering just below tho heart
and the other in the stomach. He retain
ed consciousness but a few minutes, when
he also expired. He realized that he was
dying, and requested that something
should be given him that his death might
be easy.
