Washington, Oct, 8.—Reports receiv-

weevil on plantations of Texas. indi-
cating that the ravages of the pest
have been much more serious this year
than ever before, are very generally
sustained by Information received by
Dr. Howard, chief of the entomologist
department.
The agency reports from experts of
the department engaged in Texas In-
dicate that the Insect has been excess-
ively destructive during the past
month, and han practically ruined the
crop in places where less than a month
ago fair yields would have been ob-
tained.
These reports tend to confirm esti-
mates Indicating that the total crop of
Texas, instead of being 4,000,000 bales,
as was estimated a month ago, will fall
below 3,000,000 bales. Some authori-
ties put the crop of the state as low as
2.500.000 bales.
In October the weevil spread more
rapidly than at any other time during
the year, and officials of the agricultu-
ral department will await with much
Interests reports as to its migration
during the present month.
It is only a question of time until
the insects spread throughout the en-

nation is found.

Cole L. Blease, who said he was a
member of the legislature and that he
was with defendant throughout the
campaign of 1902, was asked If he
was present In the defendant's room
in a hotel in Columbia on the night
of August 20 or 31, 1802, at the time
Dr. Adams was there. Upon answer-
ing in the affirmative his attention
was called to the testimony of Dr. Ad-
ams relative to a conversation that
took place in the room. Witness sald
Adams advised Tillman "to go down to
the State office and fight Gonsales”
and that the defendant said "he was
lieutenant governor and could not af-
ford to have a difficulty; that'he would
be impeached,” and, added the wit-
ness. "somebody about that time made
a remark about something which Gon-
sales had said about what he would
do to Tillman. Colonel Tillman ■aid:
You need not be uneasy about me;
you---boys need not be uneasy
about that; if he undertakes to at-
tack me I will snuff his light out with
this? "
Asked with reference to another
statement attributed to defendant wit-
Dess said that when that part of an
edtorlal referred to mock theatricals
was read, what Tillman said was that
"if he attempts to carry out one of
his threats I will make it the--
tragedy that has ever happened in
South Carolina.”
J. A. White of Bdgefleld, a door-
keeper in the. state eenate at the last
legislature, said that while he was
sitting in the lobby of the senate a
man whom he did not know came up
to him and asked where Tillman was.
slid among other things witness said
the stranger said he had made Mr.
Tillman show the white feather twice
and would do It again. He was told
by Mr. Holzenback, who was present,
he said, that the stranger was N. G.
Gonzales. He said Mr. Tillman had
appointed him a doorkeeper.
Richard H. Holzenback verified
White’s statement. He said also he
was just behind Senator Talbird,
Lieutenant Governor Tillman and Sen-
ator 'Brown as they approached the
transfer station in Columbia on the
way down town from the state house
on January 15. He said or he crossed
Gervais street he saw Gcftales com-
ing in the opposite direction on the
outside of the pavement. He sald
Gonzales crossed obliquely to the left.
He could have passed on the outside,
he said. Instead of cutting diagonally
across to the inside. Witness said he
heard Tillman say, "I got your mes-
sage." He said that Mr. Gonzales
thrust his hand down deep In his
pocket and added that he thought Mr.
Gonzales was going to shoot Mr. Till-
man. He heard the shot, but said he
did not see where Mr. Tillman drew
the pistol from. He said Tillman was
in the middle. The witness was close-
ly questioned on cross examlpatlon
with regard to certain conversations
with several persons named.
J. H. Tillman when he took the
stand was asked by Mr. Croft to ex-
plain this and that incident to which
reference had been made during the
trial. After giving hie explanation of
the South Carolina club incident he

sage he may have sent to Mr. Gon-

The motormen and conductors turn-
ed their cars into the shed last night
and were not on hand at 6 o’clock this
morning to take thei out.
None of the strike breakers brought
in by th* company were at the sheds.
The company made no effort to op-
erate the system, having decided not
to do so until after a conference with
the city and county authorities.
A meeting of business men was
held today in an effort to effect some
settlement between the men and the
company, but nothing was accom-
plished and the meeting was adjourn-

President Houston declines to arbi-
trate the matter and says he will op-
erate the street cars if the business
interest says so and that he has am-
ple force In reach to do so and that
he is simply waiting for the business
element to speak.
He says he has an offer of 250 street
car men from St. Loufs who were in
the late strike there and lost their
jobs on account of it. He has re-
ceived fifty local applications over the

The electrical workers threaten to
