Blow to Tlllniuiiisiii.
Cowmbm, S. C., Sept. 14.—In the
second Democratic primary election the
vote has not l^ren quite so heavy as
the first. -ProCoition Candidate Feath
erstone is gi-. .up Governor Ellcrbe the
closest race ' town here in recent years.
The vote so . ir stands: Ellerbe 23,498,
as against 22,299 for Foatherstone.
Cooper leads Tompkins, present sec-
re:ary of state, for that office by 2,83(1
rotes; McMahon has a lead of B,6«9
votes over Brown for superintendent of
education; Floyd beats Blythe for ad
jutant general by 10,000 votes; Railroad
Commissioner Thomas is beaten for re-
election by Mr. Garris, who has a lead
of 16,188 votes, much greater than
Thomas’ whole vote.
D. E. Finley beats Attorney General
Barber for congress in the Fifth district.
Returns from the primary are as yet
incomplete, bnt indicate a very light
vote. The race for governor is close,
with chances slightly in favor of Gov
ernor Ellerbe. Featherstoue shows
great strength and possibly may win,
though the country vote is likely to go
to Ellerbe as the dispensary candidate.
Featherstoue’s strength is not alto
gether from the Prohibitionists, hat
largely from opponents of Ellerbe,
Whose weakness has caused wide dts
satifaction with his administration.
Beit Tillman’s sympathy was with
Ellerbe, tbongh ijo active support was
made. The defeat of Kllerhe will be a
blow to Tillinanism and the dispensary.
John McMahon's election as snperin
tendent of education is a sign of Till-
man's waning influence. McMahon be
longs to the old conservative party and
was a slipper;**- of Haskell on the Inde
pendent ticket in 1890.
Ha I ns Cause Much'Damage.
. Ei.ttERTox, Go., Sept. 14.—Tho heavy
rains ill Elbert connty have done incal
culable damage, A nnmber of mill
dams have been washed away. The
Elbertim electric plant, on Beaver Dam
creek, was submerged aud the city is in
total darkness and will be for some time
to come. The dam kt the plant was
washed away and the water covered all
tile machinery am!injured it so tlmt ii
new outfit will be required. It cost
nearly $2.\000. and belonged to the city.

Washington, Sept. 12 —The nary
department is shifting some of the offi
cers and men 011 the battleships Oregon
aud Iowa preparatory to their depart
ure from New York ou their loug cruise
to San Frau-is.-o by way of the straits
of Magellan. The department has just
■electeu from among the fleet of colliers
acquired during the war four of the
best aud largest to accompany the bat
tleship* on their long run.
These are the Cassius, the Sciudia,
the Alexander and the Aberemlia, and
their coal capacity is sufficient to iusure
a full supply for the big battleships as
well as for themselves without subject
ing the fleet to the refusal of any of the
South American republics to take ou
coal on account of the technical ex
istence of the state of war between the
United States and Spain.
No attempt is to be made to drive the
big ships so as to equul the fauions run
of the Oregon ttomiug eastward, the
need for the sbips on the Pacific side
not being so pressing as to warrant in
curring the risk of injuring the boilers
or machinery by keeping up full speed.

AtT/A^TA, Sept. J2.—Eugene Gulloupe,
a sohlier now imprisoned at Fort Mc
Pherson,? enlisted in tho regular army
in J&03, ‘and while at Columbus, O.,
latei in that year, received news from
his father, Louis F. Gallonpe, of Clark
comity, Mo., that his little sister was
dying.
Gallonpe applied for a furlough, which
was deuied him. Determined to see his
sister before her death, he ran away
and was not captured.
At the opening of the present war
Gglloupe decided to enter the army
ttgaiu. He applied to the recruing ofti
cor at Quincy, Ilia., and told the story
of his previous desertion. The officer
assured him that be would be giveu a
speedy trial and light sentence and have
a chance to fight.
Instead of this Gallonpe was placed
under guard and sent to McPherson,
where he has been ever since, though
several conrtsinuj'tial have been held
there ut which he could have been tried.
He has retained a lawyer, who has
brought the matter to the attention of
the president and the war department.
' ne Private Kills Another.
Knoxville, Sept. 12.—Private A. W.
Sullivan killed Private Arthur Burns
at the First Georgia camp at midnight.
The men were drinking and quarreled
in their tent. The officer of the day

maniac, having killed hi* best friend.
Both men belonged to tbe Macon, Ga.,

mustered out in Atlanta. Tho Third
battuliou. known as tho Volunteer

New York, Sept. 14.—Major General
William U. Shafter and Major General
Joseph Wheeler returned to New York
today by the same train. Neither gen
eral knew the other was aboard the
train, and they did not meet even after
their arrival in Jersey City.
General Wheeler and his party, con
sisting of his sou aud aide, Lieutenant
Joseph Wheeler, Jr., and Major Beach,
traveled in a private ear. General Shaf
ter, who bonrdod the train at Washing’
ton, had a berth iu a sleeper.
General Wheeler wus up and dressed
when the train pulled into the depot
and on the way to tho ferry he walked
past the car General Shutter was ia
without knowing lie was there. Gob*
eral Shafrer took a later ferryboat, to
New York. All he would say regarding
his plans wan (hat he would go to Mon
tauk Point tomorrow. He was accom
panied by his wife.
General Whoe’er was more commun
icative wheu questioned by a reporter.
He said: *‘I will return at once to
Montank Point to resume command o?
the cavalry division. There are five
regiments of cavalry left at Mourauk
the First, Third, Sixth. Ninth and
Tenth. They will be sent to their va
rious stations as rapidly as possible. “
General Wheeler denied that he had
said, in an interview during his jour
ney, that President McKinley had ob
served to him the war was not over.
Moreover.” said the general, •*Presi
dent McKinley never used such nn ex
pression iu n»y presence, it is true that
in answer to questions as to mustering
out of volunteer troops, I have expressed
an opinion that a considerable portion
of the volunteer force wonld be retained
until peace is signed.”
General Wheeler added tlmt iu his
opinion the Cubans aud Porto Uican*
will be found tractable to the wishes of
this government.
I have learned,” ho said, “that yon
enu accomplish nothing by dealing
harshly with Cubans, but by reasoning
with thorn you can get them to do
ufearly anything you desire. They will
listen to reason. I do yot lielieve that a
large standing army will be required
either iu Cuba or Porto Kioo. ”
