TILLMAN IN CONTROL Militia Sent to the Scene of the Rioting. QUIET ESTABLISHED AT DARLINGTON Preparing to Arrest the Constables’ Assailants. THE GOVERNOR'S POSITION ——ee At 1 o’clock this morning all was quiet at Darlington, S. C., the scene of the recent riot. The troops were being placed on guard and citizens were at their homes. Early yesterday morning Gov. Tillman established a telegraph censorship, placing several militiamen, the most intelligent that could be selected, in charge of beth offices at Columbia, 8. C., to supervise all messages offered. These gentlemen carried out their instructions and refused only a few tele- grams that were calculated to arouse bad feelings. Early in the day the governor summoned the governor's guards to the ex- ecutive mansion. Drawing them up in line, he addressed them, saying that he was informed that | their disbandment was not their fault, but that they had been overawed by a mob at their doors. He told them that they stood before the people of the state as a disgrace and that he now wished to give them the opportunity to wipe the stain from their brow and to restore them to honor. He ked for some indication as to whether they would obey his orders, in which event their arms would be given back to them. As he made this assertion, five of the men threw down their bayonets and were quickly followed by several others. Their captain begged them to desist and wait until the governor had finished. Gov. Tillman, how- ever, told them that their action was satis- factory, for he only wished to know exactly what their position was. He then said to those who remained that they could leave, but if they determined to obey orders to re- port to the state penitentiary, The remnant of the company marched to their armory, and in five minutes thereafter they had dis- banded. During the day the governor noti- the arms must be delivered to the state within two hours. They replied that they did not know where the arms were and that it was impossible to comply with his orders. fled the captains of the other companies that | | EME ge (a ii Exhibit of It 1s well that you waited until confidence.

On hear- ing this, a number of prominent citizens, in the interests of the peace and order, ad- vised the men to give up the guns. On their earnest advice, the young men expressed their willingness to do everything in their power to put their captains in pos- session of the arms. ‘The Governor's Address. At 5 o'clock marching orders were given to the troops stationed at the penitentiary. Gov. Tillman addressed them, saying: “As chief executive of South Carolina, I wish to say a few words to you before your depart- ure. I thank you for the prompiness and zeal displayed by you in responding to the call for duty. Many of you have doubts as to the justice of the cause for which you go. You are reform democrats and ‘antis,’ bi all South Carolinians, thank God. The rea- son of your going to Darlington is caused by the dispensary law, and it is law as long as it stands on the statute books, until re- pealed or declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. The newspapers have sown the seed of discord by teaching you that there are portions of the law which invade private rights. They know that when they say that they He. The right to search private houses on a warrant is as old as the law itself. “They know that they are not telling the truth when they try to make you believe that these men in Darlington were defend- ing their liberties. I said in my message to the legis'ature that a large force of con- stables would not be necessary if the police of the towns would enforce the law, but they would not do this. The dispensary is not the issue now, but so long as it is on the statutes, so help me God, I intend sto enforce it. It is not a question of politics to be fought out by ball and powder, but by the ballot box. So much for the opin- fons that you are going to uphold tyranny. When the news came of the trouble at Dar- ington, God knows that I was never more shocked. When the officers of the law were shot down, I was horrified. The sheriff telegraphed me that he was powerless. My first and natural impulse was to appeal to the military of Columbia. What did they do? They surrendered, ingloriously, the honor of being in the service of their state, but thank God there are men left who will | obey orders and not be swayed from duty by adverse political opinion. “Two companies at Florence and Sumter , did likewise, when the action at Columbia was known. We then see the spectacie of the adjutant general running over the etate trying to get men to go and do their duty. I then ordered out the fourth brigade of Charieston—that crack command. All they did was to dicker with me as to what was their duty. Those cowards in Charleston did like those in Columbia. Without a com- pany at my command, I begin to cast about to see what I could do to uphold the dignity of the laws. I thank God I nave found them in you. “You are going on a delicate and danger- ous mission. You must remember that the Darlingten people are your fellow citizens, but they are in insurrection and it is neces- sary for you to go there to uphold the law. I learn that they have destroyed a state dispensary. Nobody did this but the ex- barkeeper and their hirelings. You go as an arm of the law, and you must treat the Darlington people with consideration. But if you are ordered to shoot, you must 4o it, or anarchy will prevail in the state. I hope to restore you to your homes as early as possible, but the law must be upheli, or the 'e government will be the laughing stock of the world. This ought to be a proud day for you. In after years you can hand down as a heritage to your children that you went to Darlington on Tillman's orders,and you are proud of It.” No Trouble at Darlington.

Farley and the Darling- ton Guards, who provided ample protection, which, however, was not needed. Before arriving, Gen. Farley made public this telegram: “Gen. Richbourg has left here with three hundred troops for Darling- ton. You can assure the people that the motive is not sinister.” ‘The mayor of the clty threw open every public place to the troops, and they were comfortably quartered in the Darlington Guard’s armory, the court house, the city hall, and the mayor's court room, Alto- gether, there are 220 -men, most of the forces being well-drilled organizations. Gen. Richbourg said that he had come to Dar- lington with orders to preserve the peace and that he positively had no instructions to make any arrest. His duty was to up- hold the law and no one would be molested unless the occasion rose. With the excep- tion of forty-five men, who were placed on guard duty, all of the military made prepa- rations to go to sleep, and there was not the slightest indication of any trouble. ‘A courier arived at midnight from the country near Timmonsville announcing that two spies were found dead in the wood: near that place at a late hour in the after- ncon. Governor Tillman wired the Darlington citizens that the presence of the troops was required to arrest those who participated in the riot four days ago. If the governor desires to make the arrest of those men he will, it is claimed, have to send at least five times the number of troops now on the spot, and it is belleved if the railitary is called on to arrest citizens, that at least half, if not all, the soldiers will lay down their arms and assist the citizens, should trouble occur. An Interview With the Governor. The Associated Press representative had a lengthy interview with Governor Tillman at the executive mansion yesterday afternoon. The governor was seated on the front piazza at Columbia surrounded by his family and a number of his political friends. He granted the requested interview without hesitation and spoke freely about the situation, ‘here was some indication of nervousness in his manner, but, altogether, he was as collected as could be expected under the circum- stances. The governor stated that in his opinion the worst of the danger was over. lie said that, inasmuch as Darlington and Floreuce were In a state of insurrection, ne felt it his duty to exert himself to the utmost to of the state. ‘At the time oi the interview three hun- red militiamen had just left on a special train for Darlington. In view of the num- ber of companies which had refused to re- spond to his call, he was greatly gratified to the scene of the tragedy. “But will they shoot?” was asked. “Will they shoot?” exclaimed the gover- nor, with emphasis. “Well, you ought to have heard them cheer when I told them to shoot.” When asked how soon he expected to re- store civil law, he said he could not tell, and that there was much at stake. Dar- lington and the community were in insur- rection, defying the authority of the state, land the insurrectionists must be put down. The property of the state (meaning the dis- pensaries) had been destroyed. The guilty parties must be discovered and brought to justice. The dispensary constables were being pursued, and were in {mminent dan- ger of losing their lives. He would not per- mit them to be hounded down and shot lke dogs. Pending development in these mat- ters, he would keep the militia under arms. A few minutes previous to this interview it was reported that the censorship of tel- egrams had been withdrawn. He was ques- tioned as to the accuracy of the rumor, and denied it very emphatically. The Governor laying Editor.” He said he did not wish to have anything sent out which would inflame the passions of the people, and for that reason, and with a view of securing accurate reports, he would continue the censorship. jow, I will play editor for you fellows,’ said the governor, with a laugh. “Just write out your reports, bring them to me, and I will look over them. If they are not sensational or incendiary I will let them go. He spoke confidently of the strength of his sympathizers. “I can assemble from 1,000 to 1,500 men here to support me,” he said. “Why, I have received telegrams from all over the state, offering me assistance, and I can get as many men as I can furnish with transportation.” Gov. Tillman spoke feelingly of the dis- banding of the Governor's Guards. The company is fifty-one years old, he said,.and this fs the first time its members have ever refused to obey orders. He says that Capt. Bateman shed tears over the action of his company. “What effect will the present disturbances have on the dispensary law?” “They will strengthen it,” he promptly re- “These continued disturbances have been brought on by the low-down whisky element and by the violent opposition to the measure which the cities have made. The issue is whether the state is to be turned over to hoodlums and toughs or be gov- erned by its intelligent citizens. The result will be in favor of tne dispensary.” To Senator Irby of South Carolina is due much of the credit for having removed the censorship over press dispatches established by Gov. Tillman at Columbia. He tele- graphed to Gov. Tillman last night advising him against this court and stating that it could have none other than a detrimental effect. Shortly after this message had been sent,‘the specials to the Associated Press began to arrive in the city. Precautionary Measures. Governor Tillman, on Saturfay, issued a proclamation, that, “Whereas, certain per- sons have assembled in the couaties of Darlington and Florence and are now in open rebellion against the authority of the government of this state, and it has decome impracticable to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws of | the state within said counties,” such persons were in open rebellion to the state’s law, and were commanded to return to their homes within twenty-four hours. The “per- sons” referred to were the citizens of Dar- lington who had been pursuing the con- stables who had been engaged in a fight at that place. Moreover, he gave the telegraph and railroad companies notice that he had seized formally their property and he put an embargo on thelr business. It was after dark, and when Tillman found that the Western Union Company was disregarding his orders, he applied to Judge Watts of the state courts for an injunction against the company. It was granted at once, and it restrained Manager Gray from accepting messages for trans- mittal on the Darlington trouble unless sent by state authorities. 20+ A Dangerous Man. From Truth.

THOUSANDS COMING A Great Reunion of Ex-Confederate Soldiers. LEADING GENERALS ALL 70 BE PRESENT Biggest Gathering of the Kind Since the War. MATTERS TO COME UP —— ne Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 30, 1894. The largest gathering of ex-confederate soldiers held since the war will be the fourth annual reunion of the United Confalerate Veterans’ Association, which convenes in Birmingham on Wednesday and Thursday, | April 25 and 26. Birmingham has prepared to receive and entertain from forty to fifty thousand vis- itors during the reunion, and there is now every indication that fully that number will be here. There are now 470 camps in the association, with applications on file for nearly one hundred more. The following is a list of camps by states: Northeast Tex- as division, 58; west Texas division, southeast Texas division, Texas division, 13; vision, 2; 19; northwest southwest Texas dI- total, Texas, 131. Alabama, Loutsiana, 34; Arkansas, South Carolina, Fior- ; Tennessee, 17; "North 10; Oklahoma, 4; Ilinols, 2; virginia, 1. 12; District of Columbia, 1; Each of these camps will send to the re- union delegates ranging in number from six to one hundred, in proportion to the mem- bership of the camp. Besides, thousands old soldiers, who are not delegates, will come as visitors. The prettiest feature of the reunion will be the series of tableaux, in which each of the soutbern states will have as a repre- | Sentative the most beautifal young unmar- ried lady in its borders, preparations for this having been made on an imposing scale. The beauties who have been ~~ and | the states they will represent a einia, Miss Lizzie Clark of Newport News; Mary- | land, Miss Montague of Washington; North Carolina, Miss Kate Cantwell of Wilming- ton; South Carolina, Miss Adele Irvine Hayne. of Greenville: Georgia, Miss Me- Dougal of Columbus; Tennessee, Miss Adele McMurray of Nashville; Kentucky, Miss Elenora Graves of Lexington: Missourl, Miss Katherine Turner of Columbia; Ar- kansas, Miss Lillie McGee of Van Ruren; Texas, Miss Mary M. Benks of Houston: Louisiana, Miss Adale Vinson of Shreveport; Florida, M zabeth Pasco of Monticello: Carrie Toney Cochran of Mississippi, Miss Lizzie Mitchell of ans prepared to revive memories of the lost cause on a more dignified and impressive scale. Camp Hardee, the local organiza- tion, has erected the Winnie Davis wigwam on First avenue anf 23d street. with a seat- ing capacity of 10,000. It will be covered in a sea of gorgeous bunting, and the stars and stripes and stars and bars will be float- ing alike everywhere. Business houses have prepared for a general holiday, and the hotels and private residences have arranged to accommodate thousands. Texas alone expects to send 10,000 boys who wore the gray to the reunion. All the distinguished | ex-confederate generals now living. includ. ing Gen. John B. Gordon, commander-in- chief of the veterans; Gen. Wade Hampton, Gen. Stephen D. Lee, Gen. W. L. Cabell, Gen. James Longstreet. Gen. George H. Steward and others, will be here. The matter of publishing a southern school history, which will tell of the war according to southern ideas, will be one of the most important questions for consideration. The historical committee will meet here on April 23, two days before the reunion, to take this matter in hand, and outline plans for publi- cation of Such a work. Another important matter will be the or- ganization of a national association of sons of confederate veterans. Camps of this kind have been organized in several Ala- bama cities, and the movement promises to aN success and embrace a large member- ship. At a meeting of the ladies of Birmin: held recently for the purpose of enon ating with the veterans in preparing for the reunion, it was suggested that a national organization of the daughters of confederate veterans be formed.

The fifth section prohibits the use of neta, fire arms.air guns, or explosives. Section six excludes from the provisions of the first five sections “Indians dwelling on the coast j of the United States and taking fur seals in canoes or undecked boats propelled whol- ly by paddies, oars, or sails, and not trans- ported by or used in connection with other vessels, or manned by more than five per- sons, in the manner heretofore practiced by the said Indians: Provided, however, That the exception made in this section shall not apply to Indians in the employment of other persons, or who shall kill, capture, or pur- sue fur seals outside of territorial waters, under contract to deliver the skins to other Tsons, nor to the waters of Bering sea or of the passes between the Aleutian Islands” By section seven the Presi@ent is em- powered to make regulations for the @m- forcement of the act.
