Mr. Holman made u brief statement of the claim and the facts upon which it was based, showing Hint it had been before congress since the Thirty-eighth congress. Several members Interrogated Mr. Holman respecting the facts, and finally Mr. Marsh (Republican) of Illi nois objected, remarking that he was surprised that file gentleman from Illi nois should.

Mr. Richardson at Tennessee reported from the committee on printing, With a recommendation that it pass, a reso lution providing for the printing of 40,000 copies of the tariff bill, compared with the rates of previous bills. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia said tho comparison was not. In his opinion, of any great value, for the reason that it was practically Impossible to compare Importations and receipts under ad va lorem and specific rates of duty. Mr. Bynum said Hi* comparison had been made by treasury experts wi.h the clerks of the senate flnanoe commit tee find with the committee on ways and means, and he believed It was as accurate nB anyih!n£_coutd be made, and that ft had been prepared as all similar comparisons had been made.

Columbia, Aug. 27.—A sensation was created iu this state today by tho an nouncement that Senator Butler would not abide by the result of tho primary election, which' takes place tomorrow, At this election' members of the legisla ture will be .nominated who also elect a successor to Gen. Butler, lu with drawing fivxn the primaries Senator Butler leaves himself and friends free to make a contest lu the general elec tion, whleh bikes place In November. It Is a rule in the Democratic party, in 8-,nth Carolina that each candidate must pledge hiimfeif to support th6 uumlueos of the party, otherwise ho cannot be voted for. Gen. Butler made sueh a pledge, but withdrew it today - In a letter to the secretary of the Dem ocratic executive committee. lie gavo no reasons for withdrawing the pledge. It is understood that thb legislative candidate^ will ho nominated in Novem ber, who will support Butlfer. It Is fur ther said that Gen. Butler, If defeated by Governor Tillman, will make a con test before the United States senate contending that tho registration laws of the state are Illegal, and that If a full vote could have Ueeu polled Butler legislators would have boon elected. An urdent supporter of Senator But ler said today: “Butler’s withdrawn I must speak for Itself. Certain It however, that :t places Gen. Butler en tirely independent of the action of the primary ou the 2Stli. You will know a great dual before the end of ton days, and you. can rest assured that Setulur Butler is still a most active factor In state uud national politics.” HOW R150E1VI4D IN WASHINGTON Washington, Aug. 27.—A special from Columbia says; Senator Butler, candi date for re-election, withdrew from the state Democratic executive committee his pledge to abide by tho result of tho Democmtic primaries. This means that Butler tickets lor the legislature- will be run ugainst the Tillman candidate* lu the general elections, and Involves a wide open split of ,tlie Democratic party la the state. Senator Butler, In a telegram to tho Columbia ^Register, says: “I beg to say In withdrawing the pa per filed by me with Tompkins, secre tary of the DemobraUc executive com mittee, announcing my candidacy I am following the footsteps or distinguished reformers, who aro unwilling to sub mit tlmlr claims to a primary where everything from coroner.up has been cut, dried, packed nnd salted down by tho ring: when the result Is slated nnd Unown by the ring before a vote bus been put In the ballot box." Several counties havo already taken action mul nominated candidates op posed to Tillman, a ad there Is likely to be a bitter political fight In the state in consequence of Senator Butler’s action, anti-toxine treatment.

A patient with diphthe ria doee not die of the disease, but Is poisoned -by toxlne. which Is ereated In the system -by the disease. A person who recovers from diphtheria is not likely to take the disease again for some lime, because there has been created In the ‘body an anti-toxine. nvhlch neutral izes the poison.

This is kept up for several months, until the blood is so impregnated -with untl-tbxlne that they are impervious to diphtheria bacclli. The blood of these animals, after the serum has been separated, in order to prevent fever. Is injected into the diph theria patients. Experiments have shown, it is claimed, that If cases are treated within thirty-six hours the mor tality can bo rendered praotically noth ing.
