SENATOR TILLMAN’S CHANCES.
TALK of opposition to him i\
COMING PRIMARY.
Suggestion Grows Out of tlie Strong
Fight to Re Made by the Prohi
bitionists —They Will Hold Their
Convention and Put Out a Ticket
on May 23—Democrats Hold Tlicir
Convention To-morrow—Talk of
Candidates.
Columbia S. C., May 14.—Will Senator
Tillman be opposed for re-election this
summer, or will he be permitted to walk
over the course by himself? That Is the
question of greatest state interest next to
the one of whether the prohibitionists will
win in their fight to capture the state gov
ernment.
Senator Tillman has been keeping away
from the state and will probably not par
ticipate In the campaign till Congress ad
journs. Besides making a canvass in his
own interest, he has pledged himself to
stump the state for the dispensary when
ever that institution was in danger, and
it will be in greater jeopardy this year
than any time since established.
The election of a senator will be by pri
mary at the same time as that of state
and county officers and congressmen. This
primary will be held later in the summer,
and the result, so far as the senatorship
is concerned, will be by party laws binding
on members of the General Assembly. It
i? not at all improbable that the senator
elected will be opposed by the majority of
the legislators.
No one has yet been mentioned ns likelv
to oppose Senator Tillman, although the
entry of prohibitionists into the camp sign
ar.d their earnest fight against the dispen
sary and Its friends will render the chances
of an opponent muen brighter than they
otherwise wou’d have betv. As- candi
dates for Governor are still keeping in the
background and as the campaign will n t
be opened for six weeks there is still op
por;unity for sensational aspirants to de
clare themFClves. It is somewhat si*: irt
cant that in the forty county c -n vent Ion"
h< 1* when men were indorsed fnr various
state offices and for Congress, there wis
not an utterance bearing on the sena orial
r e nor the slightest attempt trade to
draw old factional lines.
Fro hi hit ion Convention.
A convention of prohibitionists will be
h* <1 here May 33 tp nominate a state tlck
* They will make their fight inside the
Democratic party, going into the primary
and being bound by the result. It has- al
ready been decided by the Executive Com
mittee of the Prohibitionists that a Gov
ernor an i lieutenant governor shall be
nominated by the coming convention, and
whether a full ticket is put forward will
depend on the advices brought to the con
vention by the delegates.
Cos!. James A. Hoyt and Mr. H. H. Brun
son are most prominently named ; s lead
ers for the cold water ticket, and Cl.
H yt, who was for a long time sir.to chair
man o ihe Democratic party, will likely
be nominated. Ho is editor of the Green
ville Mountaineer ar.d etands very high as
to character, ability and c ntervatlsm.
Mr. r. C. Featheretone, who, as the Pro
hibition leader in 1808, ran only a few hun
dr i votes behind Gov. Ellerbe, has dc
clin.d to be'a candidate.
ProhiHtlonists will get many votee *-f
those who c.re not prohibitionists, but who
’! 'he dispensary, and see no other
unshod of killing it than to prohibit the
—do of liquor. The contest will be a live
ly one. as they ore better organized that)
ever before, while there will be a full
set. perhaps two sets of candidates who
favor the dispensary. With Senator Till
man leading the fight for his pet Institu
tion, there will be no lack of spice.
r nvolition of Democrat*.
The State Democratic Convention will
lTx-ti here Wednesday. Then- will be no
trauM* nln>ut the platform unless a snag

Then are rvM to be quite a large num

An interesting question will be whether

CUBAN CENSUS FIGURES.
Heavy Low* In Population XV nm
Caused t>y the War.
Washington, May 14.—Gen. Sanger, In
charge of the census taking in Cuba and
Porto Ri-co, made public to-day a bulletin,
which says that as cornered with the
Spanish census of 1887, the recent Cuban
count discloses a loss in the twelve years
of 58,890, attributable to the recent civil
war, and the reconcentration policy ac
companying It.
These figures, however, express only a
part of the loss from this cause, and the
direct and indirect losses by the war and
reconcentration policy are estimated at
200,000. The area of the island Is approx
imately 44,000 square miles, with the aver
age number of inhabitants per square
mile. 35.7, about the same as the elate of
lowa. In the province of Hobanci, the
population is most den*e, with an average
of 153 inhabitants per square, mile. Puerto
Principe is most sparsely populated, with
an average of only 8 inhabitants to the
square mile.
The urban population of all cities of
more than 1,000 inhabitants numbers 741,-
273, or nearly one-half of the entire popu
lation. The urban population of cities of
8.000 or more inhabitants amount? to 499,-
652, a proportion of over 32 per cent, of the
total population, as compared with p cor
responding figure of 29.2 per cent, shown 1
in the United States census of 1890.
Ninety-six Cuban dries have a popula
tion in excess of 1,000 inhabitants, in six
teen of which the number of inhabitants
is 8,000 or more, five having a population
in excess of 25,C00, and one (Habana) a
population of 236,981.
DEWEY DAY Pi KNOXVILLE.
Admiral Royally Entertained In the
Tennessee Town.
Knoxville, Tenn., May 14.—With the
scream of steam vessels and the boom of
the Admiral’s salute from University of
Tennessee hill, Dewey day in Knoxville
opened. At 10 o’clock the parade started
promptly on Gay street, the principal
street of the city and marched a mile,
through cl.e ring, yelling humanity.
At the building where the welcoming ex
ercises we e carried out Admiral Dewey
reviewed the parade.which required near
ly an hour.
The Admiral was delighted with the
of them being the “Brother
hood of Old Time Fiddlers,” who fiddled
as they passed in review.
Following the parade, Mayor S. G. Heis
kell delivered a welcome address to Ad
miral Dewey. Admiral Dewey responded
briefly, saying that he had never received
a more cordial welcome than at the hands
of Knoxville people.
After his address, thousands of people
crowded to shake hands with him and at
the <nd of an h' ur he was called to
luncheon away from the clamoring throng
saying as he sat down to eat, “Ladies, I
am glad you had this life saving station
ready.”
At 1 o’clock the Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey were taken by city officials to
some of the s hool buildings, stopping
one or two minutes at each. At night a
banquet and reception was given.
Admiral Dewey said to-day that under
the inspiration of a visit to tlm birthplace
of his old com mand* r and the great naval
hero. A(’mi al Farr; git, he hoped in ded
icating the memorial stone to make the
first speech of his life.

CHANGES IN CUBAN TARIFF.
PORTER TARIFF DID LITTLE FOR
AMERICAN TRADE.
Thouiih dinni*.. Were
Miule tn tk. *t|nnlnh Tariff, tho
Benefit to American Tr.de Was
Slljtht—Another Tariff Ha. II pen
Provided and a Te.t of It Will Be
Made—Rednetlon. Made on S-ome ot
tlie Food Product..
Washington. May 14. —The war depart
ment has made public simultaneously here
and In Havana the schedule of the revised
Cuban tariff, which gees Into effect June
15 next.
The revision has been effected with diffi
culty. and the schedules have traveled
bock and forth between Washington and
Havana half a dozen- times before they
have been so perfected us to be ready for
promulgation.
The revised tariff will, It l*''calculated,
slightly Increase the revenues of the Is
land, which were.last year approximately
$16,000,000. The primary purpose of the
revision of the Porter tariff was not. as
has been supposed, to provide against a
deficiency In revenues, but rather to re
classify the lmiorts and especially to
stimulate importations from the United
States.
The trade between Cuba and the Ur.l el
States has not augmented since the Amer
ican occupation and even the application
of the Porter tariff was not attend and by
any benefit in the increase of the eg r -
gate volume of trade. In fact, Cuban
merchants being relieved from the Spanish
obligation to purchase in one market have
not turned to the United States since thev
were released from limt obligation, .nd
consequently, of the imports into Cubi.
less than St) per cent, originate in the
United States.
Sweeping Cuts Were Made.
The Porter tariff made sweeping cuts in
tlm old Spanish tariff, and in the very be
ginning attention was directed to food
products; it was felt to be just that t ete
necessaries of life should sustain ns lltt e
tax as possible. So cattle wore admitted
at a duty of $1 per head, and foodstuffs
generally paid only 15 per cent, ad ,a o
rem.
The military officials in charge of the
island were surprised to witness the effect
pf these changes. The prices of food did
not go down in Cuba; It, case of sorer 1 1
staples at least, they actually advanced.
Lack of competition and conservatism are
the reasons assigned for this state of af
fairs.
There may be a remedy In reciprocity
from the United Stales. At any rate the
tariff revisers felt that they could do lit
tle to meet this strange situation, and rec
ommended that the few change? they sub
mit be tested for another year before nv re
1 radical measures be employed. Therefore
about the only important reduction made
by them in the food schedules is In the
duty on salt cod. and stock fish (largely
consumed in Cuba), which is reduced
from $2 to sl.
Some Important Change*.

Washington, May 14 —The House today
passed the general deficiency appropriation

priation bill*. The Military Academy b 11
will follow it to-morrow. TV.e deficiency
bill curried $3,839.021 and precipitated no
contest.
The general debate limited to one hour
on a Bide was devoted principally to po
lit leal topdea, the feature being a s-vere
arraignment of the admlnlstrtUl n by Mr.
D© Armond of Missouri. He described the
•eetacy with which the Porto Rican na
tive population must have received t.e
news that they were to Ire governed by
“carpetbagger® who,” he said, “would tak *
everything portable and nail down every
thing they could not carry away.’ It
would be the “sad and shameful story < t
carpetbagism in the South over again.’’
What was to take place in Porto Rico
was, on a smaller scale, w hat wvuld t ke
place in the Philippines later on. America
was to succeed Spain in the ro e of tyrant
in two hemispheres.
Mr. De Armond excoriated the adminis
tration for not sticking to the old tradi
tions, and charged ii with cowan lice for
allowing no official utterance of sympathy
to go out to the Boers struggling in South
Africa to repeat yie splendid story of the
American revolution.
He eon eluded by charging that there
was either a secret understanding with
Great Britain, or, an American adminis
tration truckling to wealth and power,
had overlooked and forgotten the rights
of humanity.
