THE SOUTH CAROLINA WAR. Got. Tillman Emphatically Disclame* Responsibility for tho Dispensary Daw or the Troubles that Have Attended Its Enforcement — Senator Irby Indorses the Governor and Outlines the Source of the Trouble—The Country Militia Support the Governor:. New Yore, April L—The Herald prints the following1 communication from Gov. Tillman of South Carolina: To the Editor of the Herald'. That I am In any way responsible for the present condition of things in this state is utterly false and absolutely without foundation in fact. . 1 did not make the dispensary law. On the contrary. I protested against its enactment and predicted, from my knowledge Of the people of the state, that It would lead to violence and bloodshed. I hove not tried' to enforce its monstrous provisions. On the contrary. I have urged that its constitutionality be determined by the courts, and that the people yield a ready obedience to the law once the law has teen determined. I did not appoint desperate or irresponsible men to enforce the law iand arm them with rifles with instructions to shoot anyone who | might resist by look or word the infamous work of the whisky spies » . I did not pardon, bffford reading the evidence in the case, the first of the spies who was convicted, although his offense was searching premises without a warrant and strikiug a woman, the mistress of the premises.

Washington, April *j.—Senator Irby received the folloriipg telegram last evening from John Gary Evans, at Columbia, S. C.: “We are in command of the situation, ifyie country militia have responded promptly and the law will be enforced at all hazards. The people still rule.” * X

Senator Irby, of South Carolina, Indorses Gov. Tlillman. Washington, April a.—Gov. Tillman’s views of the South Carolina difficulties are undoubtedly reflected by Senator John Laurens Manning Irby, who, in 1890, was sent to the senate from South Carolina to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton on the same populistic tidal wave that carried Mr. Tillman into the gubernatorial chair. Discussing the situation in his state with* a United Press representative, Senator Irby gave free expressions to his opinions and they are here presented exactly as given: f | ‘•The public do not understand the true cause of all this trouble in South Carolina,” said Mr. Irby. V*‘It is a mere pretense and fraud on the part of certain citizens in Darlington that it is an honest revolt against' the invasion of their private rights and homes. The dispensary law of the state forbids the sale of liquor other than as authorized by 4t, and persons have no right to prostitute their homes by making barrooms out of them and then crying out against what they term an Invasion ofthe whole mairfer is tliut Darlington has been a hotbed of anti-Tillmanism, or, more properly speaking, the right of the people to rqle and control the government of the. state; and ft is not surprising that this trouble should break out at this pjlace. It is an effort on their part to destroy Tillman and the right of the people to choose their own leaders, in South Carolina, almost by accident, the people got in the saddle in 1S9Q. They were strong enough and determined enough in other states in the south to get rid of the bourbon element, but have ruined, misled, and have lpst their cause by erratic and wild leadership. This thing could not have amounted to anything but for the mutiny on the part of the military organizations of the state. These organizations sprang into life shortly after Hampton got control in 187fi through the ambition of a lot of men who had' never been in the army but were anxious to wear brass buttons and gray clothes and who have been supported by appropriations by the state government, and on the first opportunity they had of showing their loyalty to the governor of the stat|e they flunked, as I expected they would. It is a mere farce for South Carolina or any other state government to keep up military organizations thait are hostile to the enforcement of the laws; and their refusal to hold Gov. Tillman up in his effort to maintain the supremacy of the law is a disgrace to South Carolina, and the sooner Gov. Tillman calls the state legislature together and reorganizes this militia by the enrollment of loyal farmers the better it will be for the maintenance of law and order. Brass buttons, gray clothes and parades are all vefy pretty to look at and for the women to bestow flowers upon, but the kind of militia we want at this time is one like that of Pennsylvania, with slouch hats, and Who are ready to kill if necessary to enforce the law.” Senator Irby was asked to express his opinion upon the seizure of railroad and telegraph lines in his state, and replied: “The laws of South Carolina justify their The truth of

ix ana i nu.y inaorse uot. unman s course throughout. The railroad and telegraph lines have been unfriendly to his administration and from what I gather are doing all in their power to precipitate this war between a handful of political malcontents and tho organized authorities of the state. He would have been derelict in his dut$t ii he acted otherwise. “I received a telegram yesterday afternoon saving that he thought he would be able to control the situation to-day. I think it was a blessing that Sunday intervened and that all will be well within twepty:four hours.” Wiser Counsels Prevailed. Darlington, S. C., .April 1.—Upon receipt of news of the arrival of 300 state troops being sent here under Gen. R. N. Richbourg, the advisory committee protnptly met. After a serious consideration of all sides of the question, it was decided that no effort would be made to have the troops stopped, nor would any resistance be offered to their taking quarters here. It was some time before they could convince some of the more hot-headed citizens that this was the best and only course to oursue.

f READY TO COME IN. Ex-Queen LUluokaUni of Hawaii and Her* Native Adherents, lit Despair of Kojnl Restoration, Coming to a Frame of , Mind Favorable to Annexation to the United States, with a Provision for a Pension to Mrs Domini*. San Francisco, April t. — The barkentine & N. Castle, which arrived yesterday from Honolulu brought advices of a material change in the political conditions of the islands. Briefly it may be summed up by saying that the natives are now coming out for annexation. Had the natives been left to their own devices there wonld never have been any serious opposition to the* annexation of Hawaii to, the United States. As is well known,the natives are a quiet, good-natured race, and, barring the ill-advice of whites, none would have been more inclined toenter into a union with the great republic than they. The adherents of royalty have concluded that all hope of restora

turn is past, and that it is political to acquiesce, with a good grace. n It will be remembered that under the treaty presented by. the commissioners to President Harrison Liliuokalana was to receive $20,000 per year in lieu of her resignation of all right and. title to her throne in Hawaii. It is im order to secifre this amount or some, other sum that the ex-queen is said to favor annexation. To this end a petition, will soon be prepared and; sent to President Cleveland advocating; annexation, provided a sum to be mutually agreed upon shall be settled up- , on Lilioukalani during her lifetime. The petition will be signed by leading men, members of the ex-queen's cabinet and of the native societies. It has even been stated that Lilioukalani will send a trusted agent to Washington to lay the matter before the president. Unless some such arrangement is made the queen will soon find herself in pc-” culiar and straitened circumstances. It is well known that she is far from being rich, and but a short time agoshe found it necessary to place a heavy mortgage on most of her property.. The Latest Per Steamer China, with Advices to March 26. Sax Francisco, April 2.' — The steamer China, which arrived yesterday, brings Honolulu advices£o Mareftk 2fi." News of the proposition made by the finance committee to give notice of termination of the reciprocity treaty, created a great sensation and spread an atmosphere of gloom in business, circles. It was felt that suehmeasure meant ruin to the sugar planters, as well as to the smaller but valuable rice interest. Later news of the senate's favorable disposition to continue the treaty gave general satisfaction. The election of delegates to the convention for the formation of a new constitution has been ordered for May 2. It is believed a majority of the natives will abstain from taking the oath abjuring the monarchy, being deterred by fear lest the queen will yet be restored. The Takashiho, another Japanese war ship, arrived at Honolulu March 21. The. Japanese laborers are turbulent, expecting to receive the right of suffrage. On the 22d Admiral Irwin, accompanied by Minister Willis, paid President j Dole a farewell visit In the afternoon. Mr. Dole was received on tlie flagship with distinguished honors Two days later President and .Mrs. Dole called upon Mr; and Mrs. Willis at their residence.

The procession was almost as broad as the roadways arid was five miles long, Between 14.000and 15,000 volunteers guarded the route of the procession. Kossuth was buried between Dealc and Batthyanyi, two Hungarian political patriots of his time and political tendency. Several orations weredelivered at the grave.
