L'ntll a tow days ngo there was much doubt '
ns to what would become of the social clubsthroughout the Mnte. muny of them depend- - j
inn upon their eldcPoards to a largo extent tortheir social fe.ituie.
In ( hnrleston I lie three lending clubs havopassed resolutions deciding to auction olT thehtock of liquors on band, and have even gonoso far ns to forbid tho usu of liquor on thopremises.
Ciuni.KsTov. P. C. June.m At 12 o'clocktho people of tho Palmetto Mate en-
tered upon the newdisiienfation. Tho (HMern-ms-
took charge ot all the liquor business inthe commonwealth. From the returns hereit appears that tno Htato will open barrooms Innineteen out of tho thirty-fou- r counties in thobtato. In ut least six of these the btato bar-rooms have beon estsblished and the cocktaildispensers appointed by tho county Hoards of .
Control. In open violation of tho law. whit h re-quires tho endorsement of a majority of thofreehold voters of a community for the estab-lishment of n dispensary. In these countiesthe courts will be appealed to for injunctionsto prevent tho opening of .State barrooms.
Tho situation all o cr South Carol ina '
is peculiar. In Charleston there lias beon Inall day a huee whiskey fair. The nlr
lined with the tlntlnubulatlon ot tho auctionbells nnd with tho cries of tho auctioneer Indozens or Honor stores nro
citizens, buying whiskey, wine, nndbeer to Iny In a stock against the dry spell,which setB lu In tho fashionablegroeerlos extrn forcos of clerks have been atwork dnv and night for a week putting up dem-ijohns and kegs of whisker, brandy, rum. gin.and wine, and battalions of drays and delhorywagons have beon employed carting the goodsto the railroad depots and to the various resi-
dences. It lsio exaggeration to say thnt thereare not l.bOtl out of tTiolO.000 housoof whitepeople In tho city that aro not prnvldodwith a supply of liquors to last six months atleast.
The utter subjection of the people of thiscity to tho iron hand of Gov. Tillman Is aptlyillustrated by nn Incident that came to light
The Gorman Mutual Insuranco Com-pnn- v
which comprises moht of tho propertyholding German-- . In tne city, will hold Its an-nual meeting July 1. Uoforo mak-ing preparations for the collation, which isusual on such occasions, tho otllucrs of tho as-s- i
elation wroto to tho Governor nsklnp Illspermission to buy the boer to-d- to bo dranknt the enllntlnn tn.mnrrnir.
The letter was returnod to them with an en-dorsement intimating the association had theGovernor's permission to havo heor with theircollation but accompanied with aprolo that they should not consider the caseas a precedent, lhe boclety of the Cincinnati,which celebrates tho Fourth of July with abanquet, will dispense with wine.

Thus far the requisite endorsement of .1 ma-jority of the freehold voters of this city hasnot been secured for thn establishment of adispensary. It Is expected, however, thnt In
I accordance with Instructions (rum tho Gover-nor, the Hoard of Control will take thu law Intheir own hands mid start a Htate barroomnext week anyhow.
'lwo hundred barrooms In this city closedtheir doom at midnight Many ofthoso will reopen as restaurants fortho serving of lunches nnd soft drinks.

Hohad a habit of carrying most of his possessions,consisting of bonds, mortgages, and rainingstocks, valued, it is snld, at $100,000. aroundin n vallso with him. Those havo disappeared.
Mr. Harrison's travelling eommpniilon Inlilsten) oars' journoylngs on land nnd soa In illsnatho country lias been his daughter. Mrs.Mary Oliver of Jackson, Mich. Mrs. Oliverthinks that her father met with foul play. Hohad on his person when hedleappearod about$700 In mono). Mrs, Ollvor says that sho be-
lieves that ho also had on tho steninshlp thovallso containing tils securities. She believesthat ho was made away with by somo poreonwho knew or suspected that ho had moneyabout him, and who also knew of tho ntlstentoof the satchel und thn nature of its contents.
Cupt. Walker and Purser Larr of tho steam-ship aie inclined to beltovo that the old gen-tlemen jumped or fell ovoiiioaid.
On luesilnyMr. Harrison and his daughtorleft Iloston. whure they sont several weeks nttho Parker House. T Heir destination wns thiscity, tiut to enjoy the sen air tlioy decided togoto Norfolk and ret in bark on the (lid Domin- - 'ion boat nnd como to this city, whence they In-
tended to go by rail to San Diego. Tho oldgentleman attended on all tho Journoylngs tothe purchase of tickets und looked alter thobuggagc.
Accoinpnnled by his daughter ho came downtotlio plerot tho Old Dominion lino in Nor-folk nbout i) o'clock on Thursday ovonlng. Howent to the ticket ofllce aboard tlio boat andbought a ticket for Now ork. lhon he wontto tho oftlco of the purser, who unsigned himto room twenty on the upper deck. All therooms on the Uuvandotto havo two berths. Thoold eoiitloiuiin. Ids daughter auvs. wanted aroom alone. 'Ihomirsur snjs that If lie hadaskod lor such u room ho would have boon ac-commodated, ns thero wero several vacantrooms.

He mm coming to.New io.--k on n liuylng trip, ns be often docs,and ho Is well known to travellers on the shirsot thu Old Dominion line. He Is nn Inveteiatosmoker, nnd spent much of Thursday nightund part of jestenluy morning on tlio deckpulling cigars vvitli two friends.
J u.-.-t alter Mr. Hurtison was assigned to aroom by tlio purser. Mrs. Ollvor came to thopurser's window and asked If her father hadPouglit a llcl.ot for hcrand burn room.Tho purser said he had not. she Inquired herway to her lather's room, and returned tenminutes later to the purser's oillce with twolive-doll- bills, with which she purchased herticket sh'j was ussigned to a room on tho ,
saloon deck. '
Sho says this was the first tlmo sho had notslept close to hor fathor. She usuall bus sleptin an adjoining room, sho was with her fatherin Mn room during Thursday evening, andsaid thnt ho did not like tho idea of sleeping lua top berth. Ills daughter suggested that hoshould go to bed curly lu the lower bertlL Hodid go to bed early and bolted tho door. Mr.I.ovihnvlnu a box of cigars In his satchel anddesiring to got somo had to wako tho o.d
up tOL'otlu. Four or Iho times duringtno night Mr. Lol wns admitted to Ills roomby the old gentleman, who oach tluio got up tounlock the door.
Mrs. Ollvor tays that hor rather was ery ap-prehensive ot being robbed snd that ho was Inthohabitof locking his doors. The smell ofcigars and cigar smoko was particularly dis-tasteful to him. and It may havo been this thntcaused him to leave his room and go out ontho deck after Mr. J.evi. whoso clothes weropermeated with tho odor of toLiKCo, hudturned in.
This wns after midnight. The old contle-ma- n
was seon on the promenade dock alt lean-ing over thu starboard rail about 'J o'clockyesterday morning. When tho Guynndotte wnsoff Chlncoteaguo. Va. Aloxander lirovvn. thonight saloon waiter, saw him.
lirown took a chair to him and Invited himto sit down, which liodld. He looked unwoll.Jirownsavs. .Nothing was seon of him afterthat. Tho old gentleman was a eterau trav-eller, and hnd never boen known to bo sea-sick. Tho oco.in wus ns calm ns n mill pond.
At 8 o'clock yosterday morning Mr. Harrisondid not Appear at thu liroakfnst table, and 11
porter was sent to call him. Ho was not In Idsroom. Mr. Lovl said thut thero had beennobody there when ho came down to turn in.Cnpt. Walker called the porter and all thowaiters anil seamen aft nnd questioned tbem.He elicited merely tho facts thatunpearnbovo.
Mrs. Oliver declares that her fathor hnd achock for his valise: she saw him put it in Idsest pocket, and saw him tnko it out nnd look
nt it. bhe told tho purser that sho bellovedthat her luther's nllse had been taken aboardthu ship, 'iho purser made n caroful searchamong the baggage, und was uuablo to Ilnd It.
He thought it just possible, howover. thatthe buggago oheck that Mrs. Oliver saw wastho check of a transfer company of Norfolk,and that the vallso may have been broughtdown to the pier too lute.
At tho suggestion of Cupt. Walker Mrs. Ollvorwill return to Norfolk on tho lluyandotto
nnd make nn effort to recover hor father'svalln If itis to that city. She says that herfather was reticent nbout his buslnoss nITalri,.nnd that ho did not conlldo them to hor. Fearof robbery Impelled him to carry only smallamounts ot money on his person, and hisdaughter says that he seldom had more thnn
700 ready cash. He had an account nt thoFirst Nntlonal Hank of lloston.
bhe was eeitaln that ho was worlh between$100,000 and ilpu.ooo. homo ot the miningstock which Mr. Oliver says was worth about$7,000 wns that of a North Carolina gold min-ing company. Hho thought ho hud $100,000worth of securities In tho valise.

It is said that two or three Democratlo Sena-
tors wero nt tho White House yesterday andwore taken into tho President's confidence.Ho wan then considering the question ot thoextra session, and asked tholr opinion con-cerning It, ns ho had already discussed thomnttor individually with the various in en bursof tlio Cabinet Ono ot tlio Senators, who hadarranged for a trip to l'.uropo the middle ofJuly, went home last night aftor his talk withMr. Cleveland, nnd Immediately set uboutchanging his plans. He told ono of his friendsthnt ho proposed to spond a few weeksat a near-b- y resort In tho mountainsot Virginia instead of tnking a tripto Europe, ns lis had suddenly ascertained thathe would not havo tltnu to co abroad. How-ove- r,
he volunteered no further Information,and. llko the membors of thu Cabinet and thofow other Senator consulted on the subjoct.ho kept tho purposo to call un extra session asecret until this afternoon, just before theofficial announcement was mado from thoWhite House.
As soon us tho politicians horo had recov-ered control of thslr vocal orcaae, tlioy beganwith ono accord to discuss the subject in uverj nnlmnted manner. The few Cublnnt off-
icers remaining in town were at once besiegedWith Inquiries, but they were unwillingto talk tor publication. Very fow Congress-men or otiier prominent publio men nro in tho;lty now, and such ot thorn as wore vlslLleprofo-so- d no. evidently honest astonlshmont,but It was notlceublo and significantthat all ot them, practically without ex-
ception, and without distinction as toparty, spoke la commendation of the Presi-dent's action, and furthermore expressed theopinion that Congress will probably do whathe expects and desires it to do In tho line otfinancial legislation. The deduction Is fairand logical, and Itis, moroover, supported bywhat lew hints the Cabinet officers havo letfall this ovonlng. that the President would nothavo taken this important step If he hadnot becomo pretty well satisfied that Itwould lead to a successful result-- inothor words, that Congress would ropenltho Sherman law, either unconditionallyor without any conditions of an injuriousnature 'ih(s Istho universal oplniunin Wash-ington It Is also understood nn allsldos that the President's action wus taken Indirect responso to tho petitions which hnvupoured lu upon him incessantly from thu busi-ness centres of tlio country during tho lastfew days, und tho belief is everywhere
thut the mere calling ot thu sessionwill act as a wondorful tonic, in business cir-cles all ovor the country Immediately.
Among the email coteries ut extreme silvermen now In tho city thoro Is an unconcealedfeeling of alarm over the situation.They confoss that tho future looks ominous totheir caliso, but they express u determinationto koop un tho fight with added vigor, and theywill organlzo at onco u powerful lobby and pre-pni- o
for tho grcntost effort of tholr lives.It iBgonerally bellevod hero, even among
theso sllvor extremist, that tho President hasrnasonablo assurances that the now Congresswill promptly tarry out his Ilnanolal policy.The fact that lie has so suddenly deter-mined to call the extra session earlier thanwas originally planned Is regarded by themas nu Indication that ho Is confident of suocess.Tho reasons for calling It in August ratherthan September are, perhaps, a little moraurgent than tlioy woro a week ago; but ItIs kuown that tlio President early fa-
vored a delay that he might demonstrate tosome of the radical freo sllvorltes und thu fewwavering members of his party thedungorofcontinuing the present system and the neces-sity for sound money legislation. The finan-
cial distress threatened In various parts of thecountry was an object lesson which. It is said,Mr. Cleveland desired some of the Westernand Southern theorists to study at Isnath.Assurances rocelvsd from various partsof the country by the President withinthe past few dajs. It is said. Indi-cate a popular change of sentiment In.some of the oommunitlss whero Ilnanolalheresy has been the rankest. As a result the j
President nnd his advisors now fool sine thatCongress will onact tlio desired legislationpromptly. And as tho flnnnclal situation withinthe pnst fow days, has grown tnoro threaten-ing, it wns determined to Issue tho call atonco nnd relievo tho public mind of furthersusponse.
Tho Illinois Congressmen who nro herounanimously approve tho President's action,though of course they personally recrethaving to attend Congress in midsummer.
"I think the announcement of nn enrly ses-sion will inntorlnlly Improve tho burlness
snld Mr. Pormun. "I bcllove Con-cre-
will promptly repeal tho Klioruian law.What other financial legislation may bo en-
acted It Is hard to say, but I think thnPresident's policy, which Is known to besound, will bo satisfactorily carried out."
John.Allen. the clover Mississippi Congress-man, was dining at Clmmburllii's with Sen-ator Bluckhurn when ho wns asked to throwthe search light of his powerful mind on thosituation. This Is what lio said- -
"Iliavonot seon tho proclamation of thoPresident calling Congress togother. though Iam not surprised to lie ir that such u call hasbeen mado. I understand that tho nresurowas very great on him to 1)0 10. I think It Iswell enough th.it it has been dono. Thooountry is anxious to havo tho DemocraticCongress begin to rodoem tho patty's pledges.It will be right warm here In August, but ourconstituents, many ot them, will I o enduringtho heat under more trying circumstancesthnn wo will havo to undergo. I trust thoextra session may be productive ot much good.1 do not know what It will do. or what tli9President thinks It will do. about sllvor coin-age, nor does anybody else know."
" I'll bo thoro." snld Congressman Tom IJohnson of Ohio, choorlly, "notwithstandingthat I had pUuned to bo In a cooler place atthat time Wo slinll need to adopt somo
even It they shall bo ojien totliochnrgo of being Hood rules. If tho extra ses-sion is to succeed lu the purposo for which ithas beon summoued. namely, the repeal ofthe Sherman net and the repeal of the MoKln-Ic- y
hill. Of course, tho llnanct.il lntorcsts mustrecelvo first nttontlon. But tho reform of thotariff must follow, and I prodlct that tho eos-slo- n
will lio protractod into tho timo for thoregular session in December. The sllvorlteslire determined to die In the Inst ditch, andmay bo looked for to inako a dosporuto fightThey must bo deprived ot tho weapon of dila-tory motions. Tho call will reassure tho finan-cial imagination. Por my pait I believe thopresont stringency hns no more real basis I
thnn that Imagination. Y'os, tlio news from '
India has undoubtedly turned the balance Infavor of the repeal of the Sherman law. and (uHint sense probably had something to do withtlio President's decision."
"Itmnybo nssumod almost with certaintyby all that Prosident Cleveland hns como totho conclusion that tho Congress to bo con-vened will promptly wipe tho Sherman lawfrom tho stntuto.books," was the comment of
Herman Stump nt Marjlnnd,now Superintendent of Immigration. "GrovorCleveland Is a determined lighter, nnd hewould not havo mado this call now It ho weronot well satisfied of this favorable condition.It is a condition that has boen hnstenod In thelast few days by the news of stiver cotnugoatoppago in India Tho Presidont will un-doubtedly carry tlia fight through to a finishnow.
