The Exiled Postmaster Wires to the Gov-

Will Be Alforded ProtectiOn in the
Event of His Return to IVIcCormick.
Washington D. 0., Nov. 17.—The gov-
ernment has decided to investigate the
circumstances under which James W.
Tolbert, assistant postmaster at Mc—
Cormick, S. C., was compelled by the
his office and home.
With that end in view the matter
has been placed in the hands of United
States Attorney Lathrop with instruc-
tions to look into the matter with a
view to the prosecution of violations
of the federal statutes in this or any
other cases growing out of the recent
race riots in that locality.
As a. preliminary step, Mr. gTolbert
sent a. telegram to Governor Ellerbee
at Columbia, asking to know whether,
as governor of South Carolina, he can
and will afford him protection in re-
turning to his family and office.
The following is the text of the tele-
gram, to which no answer has yet
been received:
Washington, Nov. 15.
To the Governor of South Carolina, Co-
lumbia, S. C.: ’
I am a citizen of South Carolina,
where I was born and raised and have
always resided. My home is at Mc-
Cormick, in the county of Abbevi-lle.
My wife is postmaster there and I am
her assistant and conduct the business
of the office for her, she being a dell—
catewoman.
On Thursday, the tenth inst, I was
forced by an organized and armed
mob of one hundred men to leave my
family and my home under the threat
that if I remained there I would be
killed. I, therefore, fled for\safety, be-
cause I was unable to resist this mob.
I am a. large land owner in the county
of Abbeville and also the owner of val-
uable houses and other real estate in
the town of McCormick.
My wife is there with our only child,
a girl four years old, without my pres-
ence and my protection on account of
the action of an armed mob, and my
property is without proper care. I
have committed no crime against the
laws of my country and have done
nothing to give any offense whatever
to any man or set of men, save_that I
am a member of the Republican party
and believe in the doctrines of that
party.
I send this to know if you, as the
governor of South Carolina, can afford
me protection as one of its citizens and
as an employe of the United States
government, that I may return to my
family, to my property and my busi-
ness and be safe from mob violence.

Shower of Flashing Meteors.
Williams Bay, Wis, Nov. 17.—The
much talked of meteoric shower was
observed here between midnight and
daybreak yesterday.
While there was a. good display, pro-
mising much for next year, when the
earth encounters the densest part of
the swarm, the brilliancy was not what
was popularly expected. ,-
The sky, which was overcast with‘
clouds, the fore part of the night,
cleared about midnight, just in time
for the display. In the short space of
time during which they Were visible
from the Yerkes observatory about
two hundred meteors Were seen.
Many were of the first magnitude,
leaving a brilliantrtrail of light, with
a bluish green tinge. Others were very
faint. I
Most of them appeared about one?
hundred degrees from the radiant;
showing the distance they passed!

ing ignited.
Professor Barnard, assisted by Pro—I
fessors Ellerman and Ritchie, took ob-
servations cf the display from the roof
of the Yerkes observatory. Numerous.
photographs were made, but what re-I
sults were obtained is not yet known,I
as the negatives have not yet been:
developed. *
New York, Nov. 17.—-An excellent ex~ -
ample of the value of the clearing
house system was afforded yesterday,=
when the bank of the state brought to.
the clearing house $15, 47,543.82 in
checks upon other (banks and other;
banks brought $5,647,401.21? in checks‘
Upon it.
The result was that more than thir-
ty million dollars’ worth of business
was transacted by the actual employ-
ment of $141.97 in cash.
The exchanges at the clearing house
have been on a very heavy scale in the
past few days.
They aggregated two hundred and
forty million Tuesday and two hun—
dred million yesterday.
Their big volume has been due to
the heavy increase in Wall street bus-
iness in both bonds and stocks.

53 WAR DEPARTMENT ACTIVE.
Ton Thousand Troops Ordered to. Hold
Themselves Ready to Move.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 17.—There
has been remarkable activity about the
war department for several days in the
way of preparing troops for lands be-
yond the United States. ,
An order has been issued directing
.at least ten regiments of the regular
army now stationed in northWestcrn
forts and posts to hold themselves in
readiness for immediate transporta-
tion and service ,in tropical climates.
Mose of these regiments were sent '
into the northern and western posts a
few weeks ago for recuperation after
the Cuban campaign. '
While holding themselves in readi-
ness for service these regiments will
now be recruited up to their maximum
strength.
Nothing is said officially as to what
the present activity means, but there
are several reasons suggested.
It is believed that an early move-
ment to Cuba is intended, somewhat
sooner than has been generally be-
lieved heretofore. ,
Another belief entertained is that
the United States government desires
to be in a position to meet any condi-
tions that may grow out of the pend—
ing peace negotiations, and to be in
readiness to resume hostilities if Spain
refuses to accept the terms the Amer-
ican peace commissioners offer the
Spaniards. ,
In this connection an intimation has
got about to the effect that during: the
delay which has occurred Spain has
been able to form some sort of coali-
tion with European powers to back
up the pretensions she has been mak-
ing inthe negotiations. _ ;
It may be that some of the regular
regiments are destined to replace vol-
unteers who have been pleading. to be
sent home. .
, 'An interesting feature of the matter
is the refusal of the United States au-
thorities to order the muster out of the
1_ volunteers who recently returned‘from
Porto Riot).
, These regiments were sent to, their
homes and given sixty days" furlough,
but contrary to the plans heretofore
followed, they were not allowed to be
mustered out.
As to the ten regular regiments, ev-
ery department of the government has
been directed to prepare supplies for
them and to arrange for transporta-
tion as soon as they are ordered to
move.
MURDERED WOMAN’S BODY IFOUND.
llIrs, Anderson Was Killed and Her‘Body
Buried in the Pigpen.
New Canaan, Conn., Nov. 17.—The
dead body of Mrs. Sarah Anderson was
found yesterday, buried in the pig pen
at her home, near this place.
The woman’s .throat was cut from
ear to ear.
. Neighbors had been searching for
her body since Tuesday, when the
burning of her house and barn and the
discovery of the body of her hired man
hanging to a. tree indicated that a
murder might have been committed
there. '
The fire was first discovered by John
Brown, a. farmer, who was working in
the fields about a mile from the Ander-
son homestead.
Brown ran to the place and found
the house and barn in flames.
It was too late to check the fire, as
the two buildings were almost con-
sumed.
Other men had been attracted by the
smoke, and a search for the former
occupants of the house revealed the
body of Mrs. Anderson’s hired man
' hanging to a chest-nut t'ree half a. mile
from the house.
In the pocket of his coat was found
a letter which contained the announce-
ment that he had killed Mrs. And'ér-
son. The letter said:
“I have worked here a year and have
got no money and mighty little to eat.
I killed her. She has been dead seven-
teen days. Search and you will find
her.”
TERESA TO BE ABANDONED.
1Naval Officials Convinced She is Now
“forthlcss.
'Washington, D. 0., Nov. 17.-—Al-'
though a formal order to abandon the
Maria Teresa has not yet been sent
to Captain McCalla, naval authorities
are convinced by his report that the
vessel is now nearly a worthless hulk.
beyond repair and incapable of being
moved at any expenditure within rea-
son.
It is probable that some arrange-
ment will be made with the wreckers
to recover from the hulk anything of
value that can be fetched away before
the Teresa is finally abandoned.
The navy department has not yet
abandoned the effort to secure at least
one of the vessels of Cervera’s fleet as
a trophy to be placed on the American
naval list, though somewhat discour-
aged by the result of the adventure in
the case of the Teresa.
Advocates to Aid Dreyfus.
Paris, Nov. 17.——The announcement
that two advocates will be sent to
Cayenne, capital of French Guiana, to
assist Dreyfus in the preparation of his
defence, gives rise to the belief that
he will not be brought back at once,
after all.
It is believed he has already receiv-
ed the government’s message announc-
ing the revision.
The court. of cassation will undoubt-
edly demand the secret dossier; and,
according to the Soir, the -government
has taken the full responsibility for
whatever measures may. be necessary
to prevent the dossier obtaining a pub-
licity that would be dangerous from
an international viewpoint. ~
New Motor for Trains and steamers.
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 17.~—Ellsha Sey-
mour, seventy-five years old, born at
Skaneateles, N. Y., but for several
years past a resident of Chicago, and
living at the Palmer House, claims
that he has invented a new steam tur-
bine. ‘ -
He has two working models of his in-
vention in a foundry at Rockwell and
Fillmore streets. One of them is ten
by twenty-four inches insize, and ex-.
orts a ten horsepower.
By aid of this motor Mr. Seymour:
predicts railroad. trains will be pro-i
polled from Chicago to New York in“.
sixteen-«hours, and steamers will crud;

A MASSACIIIIS "FEARED
GEN. MBRRITT’S OPINION-
Gen. Otis Says Iloilo is Surrounded by
Insurgents and There May be a Slaugh-
ter. Admiral Dewey Regards Aguiualdo
as Treacherous. Feared Complication.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 17.—Reports
of a somewhat disquieting nature have
been received from General Otis, in
command at Manila. ’
He says that the province of Iloilo, in
the island of Panay, technically occu-
pied by Spaniards, is surrounded by
insurgents and fears are entertained
that the Spanish population and garri-
son will be massacred.
The indications are, however, that
the present situation in Iloilo cannot be
controlled by the United States army
at Manila. or the insurgent leaders
there. '
The troops under General Otis are
not available for such duty, and, un-
der the terms of the protocol, pending
peace negotiations, it is not desirable
to send a. force from the army to the
island of Fancy.
Aguinaldo’s Threat.
Seattle, Nov. 17.—-Ca.ptain John Bar-
neson, commander of .the transport Ar-
izona, has arrived here from Manila.
He says the general impression among
army officers is that when the peace
commission concludes its labor: the
United States will have serious trou-
ble with the natives.
Admiral Dewey told him that Aguin-
aldo was not only unreliable, but trea-
cherous. It is said that Aguinaldo has
promised his men that immediately
upon the withdrawal of the Spaniards
he will declare war. against the United
States.
He says he will kill off American sol-
government can ship them to the is-
lands.~ Captain Barneson states that
the naval officers favor and the army
officers oppose the retention of the
Philippines.
Gen. Merritt Talks.
London, Nov. 17.——General Merritt
says it would be impossible to estab-
lish an American system of govern-
ment in the Philippines.
He adds that they must have some
Iform similar to the British colonial
governments.
Regarding the complaints of the Fili-
pinos the general says:
“It was impossible to recogniZe the
insurgents, and I made it a point not
to do so, as it would lead to complica-
tions. Admiral Dewey, after my arri-
val, pursued the same course. What
was done before is not for me to com-
ment on. I purposely did not recog-
nize Aguinaldo nor his troops, nor use
them in any way. gulnaldo did not
ask to see me until ten days after my
arrival. After that I was too much
occupied to see him.
“In talking with leading Filipinos, I
told them the United States hall no
promises to make, but that they might
be assured that the government and
people of the United States- would
treat them fairly. This was because
the United States is in the habit of
dealing fairly with all struggling peo-
ple, and not because I had been autho-
rized to say anything of the kind.
“We purposely did not give the in-
surgents notice of our attack on Ma-
nila because we did not need their co-
operation and did not-propose to have
it. We were moved by fear that they
might loot and plunder and possibly
murder. Aguinaldo’s subordinate lea-
ders, in conversing with American of-
ficers, frequently said that they inten-
ded to cut the throats of all the Span-
iards in Manila.
b
plaining letter, saying that the insur-
gents had been denied ‘their share of
the booty,’ whatever he may have
meant by that. I took no notice of this
letter, nor do I think the subject now
raised is a matter for discussion be-
tween Aguinaldo and any representa-
tive of the American government.”

IIumbert Indorses Czar.
Rome, Nov. 17.——-King Humbert in
opening Parliament yesterday referred
I to the rioting in Italy last spring, and
said he was looking forward to the mo-
ment whenhe would be able to pardon
those who were misled at that time.
Continuing, the king pointed to the
acceptance oletaly‘s proposals regard-
ing the government of Crete and the
Anarchist conference as proving the
cordiallty of her relations with the
powers.
The financial condition of the coun-
try, his majesty asserted, was satis-
factory, the navy would be gradually
increased and a series of internal re-
forms submitted.
In conclusion King Humbert said
Italy needed peace and cordially ad-
hered to the czar’s proposal to discuss
approaching congress.
The Emperor’s Journey.
Madrid, Nov. 7.-—The Spanish gov-
ernment has been advised that Em-
peror William of Germany will arrive
at Port Mahon, Island of Minorca, on
Friday, and that he will reach Cartha-
gena on Saturday am Cadiz on Sun-
day.
He will observe the strictest incogni-
to, no honors will be rendered him, and
the forts and German warships will
merely exchange the usual naval sa-
lutes.
The Spanish authorities will not
board the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern.
