Columbus, April 21.—The mining of
bituminous coal must absolutely cease
at noon,” eaid President McBride. “Here
are dozens of mail and telegraphic re
quests for permission to operate small
mines whose product goes to supply lo
cal furnaces and does not reach the
general market To them all I have re-
plied tbat no coal will be permitted to
be mined for any purpose during the

“It would simply supply the demand

McBride said the number going ont

Leavenworth, April 21.—The miners

enough of sympathetic strikes, being

forcement of the fines against members
of the house for absence, and the fact
that the southern Democrats will be
compelled to fight for themselves indi
vidually rather than depend upon the
general battle made by the congression
al and national committees, promise to
hasten action on the tariff more than has
been anticipated, and at almost any cost
tojhe present measure.
It is a matter of very great importance
to the Democrats to hold the house dur
ing the next congress. They feel that
they are compelled to pass a tariff bill,
and that it is of almost equal import
ance to them that adjournment of con
gress should occur at a reasonably early
date. Influenced by this situation, they
are almost certain to make an effort
very soon to force their bill over the
shoal water in the senate, even if they
have to sacrifice half their cargo to do

South Carolina Dispensaries Will Be
Closed Throughout the State.
New Yore, April 21.—A Snn special
from Colombia, S. C„ says: The ad
ministration has surrendered uncon
ditionally the liqnor question. Attorney
General Bnchanan, ex-officio member of
the state liqnor board of control, said
that the decision of the supreme court
would he recognized as law, and the
board of control will meet at oass and
close all dispensaries in the £k
anticipation of this action the dfajHmserit
throughout the state have been paid off.
Mr. Bnchanan farther says it may be
necessary to call the legislature together
to dispose of the stock of liqnor on hand,
valued at $50,000. He intends to carry
a test case before the supreme court to
determine whether or not the decision
means rigid prohibition or free sales.
If the former, he thinks it probable the
legislature will provide for the consta
bles to enforce it.
There are good reasons to believe that
Mr. Smith will not voto against tuo
tariff biU wnen it comes to the final test,
and the belief among those closest on
the inside is-that in a few weeks it will
be generally accented as certain that a
bill-will be passed. A prolongation in
ordinately of the tariff discussion in the
senate is liable to lead to a revival of tae
oilier agitation in the house, under con
ditions pecnliarly troublesome. This
the eastern men want to avoid if they
can do so without too great a. sacrifice.
The two congressional committees are
hard at work in preparation for the con
gressional campaign. As Chairman
Babcock, of the Republican committee,
says, the Republicans have a big task
before them to entirely overcouqptue
Democratic majority of the popular
vote. The* Republicans count ffcst
among their difficulties the solid souj.fi'
ern column tha Democrats have to start
with. It is on this column tiie Demo
crats are relying To ~ hold tha house.
Both committees Beonr. however to ig
nore the possibility that a very consid
erable number of the Democrats from
the south may be replaced by Populists

The Orilcr I’romnlgated.
Columbia, S. C., April 21.—At an In
formal meeting of the state dispensary
board of control just held, orderi were
sent ont closing all dispensaries in the
state. The meaning of this is that foj
the present the state gives up the fight
and bows to the decision of the supreme
court. All state constables are ordered
to report here, and they will probably
be discharged from service.
Information of what the Populist? aru
doing indicates a probability that the
Republicans will not have to make such
gains in the north as they connt to over
come the Democratic strength in num
bers from the sonth. The Democratic
committee will not be disposed to make
any concessions to. the Populistic senti
ment in the sonth, or else will be di
vided on that question, and this is
counted on to strengthen the Populist
party proper in certain localities. Ia
consideration of this, there is much talk
among the men most affected to.ignore
the committee to a considerable extent,
and to get up a sort of private organiza
tion of their own to meet local cona
tions and get rid of the association with
the national administration.

For Passing Fifty Cehts.—SPurloua
Coins on His Person.
Yesterday afternoon < (Users Save
and Hill arrested a man named J ie
Wages, who claimed to be from Maill-
sen county, bat it is said by those wbo
know him that he is from piarkaboro
District, in Jaokson County.* It la skid
that Wages lived in the neighborhood
of the other counterfeiters wbo were
arrested last year, and are now serving
a term in the penitentiary.
This man passed a counterfeit fifty
cents ccfin. and when arrested declared
that it was the only coin be had. One
of the officers, however, discovered
that be had dropped something in his
clothing or shoes, and as officer Hill led
the man up to Deputy Marshal Elder’s
offlo». officer Saye followed closely
along and was on the watch to Bee that
the hidden coins should be brought to
light.
On taming Wages over to Depot <
Marshal Elder, when a search war
made, two counterfeit half dollars wer
found in his socks. Deputy Marshs!
Elder sent a telegram to Commissi :ner
Dunlap at Gainesville in regard to the
arrest, and received instructions to
hold the cnlprit.
Deputy Marshal B der will taxe the
man to Gainesville to-morrow to an

until twelve o’clock Monday, April SO,

Unforeseen circa instances threw the
trial of the Saxon murder case on to

Fully one hundred citizens et the city

rors, others as counsel, others as wit -
nesses, and many as interested specta
tors.
In view of these circumstar.cea and in
view of the Let that a large represen

Executive Committee deemed it wise to
postpone the convention until Apr”.
30th.
Therefore fiy order of the Committee
tbe Convention will be held at the City
Hall in Atbens at twelve o'clock, Mon
day, April 30th.

Anniversary Appropriately.
lr seems that the Banner reporter
wa3 mistaken in the statement a few

Lodges of the city would be invited to
take part in the exercises. Tho cele

The Anniversary exercises will con
sist of addresses from various members
of tha Order, after which refreshment
will be served. The three subordioa’e
Lodges of.the city have been invited,
and the celebration will oocur in the
Lodge room over Vondereau’s & Co’s
store. Each Old Fellow has the priv
ilege of inviting two members of his
family, and if the evening is a pleas \nt
one, no doubt the hall will be very
much crowded, sb there are a largo
number of Odd Fellows an the city.
Mr W. C Westherford ia an active
member of the committee of arrange
ments, and is already bard at work ar

have no doubt it Will be one of tbe most
pleasant gatherings of Odd Fellows in
the history of the Order in tbis city.
Uo Is Now tho Owner of the America
Cup Defender.
New York, April 21.—Mr. George .T.
Gould has purchased the Vigilant. The
gentlemen who had the yacht built last
season to defend the America’s cup
against the Valkyrie have decided to
accept the terms offered by Mr. Goulsl.
Mr. Gould is to pay $25,000 for the
boat. The negotiations for the purchase
of the Vigilaiit have been going on be
tween Mr. August Belmont, treasurer
of the syndicate, and Mr. Gould for
some time, and were not brought to a
climax owing to Mr. Belmont’s visit to
Europe. When Mr. Belmont returned
to this city a few weeks ago negotia
tions were renamed, but the two gentle
men could not come to an agreement,
and then there was another delay, ow
ing to the offer of Mr. James Gordon
Bennett.
Mr. Bennett’s offer for tho boat was
$30,000, and the members of the syndi
cate were naturally anxious to get all
they could for the yacht that had cost
them so much. Mr. Bennett’s offer,
though, was contingent on being able to
arrange a series of races satisfactorily
with the prince of Wales’ cutter. Britan
, This he has been unable to do.
The prince of Walee and Mr. Benneit
could not agree as to the courses over
which the yachts were to sail, so the
offer of $30,000 for the boat was with
drawn.

White Capping in Oglethorpe.
Un Thursday next Messrs. Morgan
Gsulding, W, E. Shaw, ami Irwin Sal

It will be remembered these parties

that copnty and were released, and af
terwards the grand jury investigated
the case, and brought indictments
against them.
The question as to whether the men
can be admitted to bail or not will be
decided Tharsday.
