WAsHISoroS, October l9.-0en. Sher-
man, who returned to Washington to-day.
has been very busy at the War Department
attending TO routine business. He had .
consultation with Secretary Cameron and
was visited by several prominent Republi-
4 n from South Carolina, who had also
been In conference with the SECRETARY OF
War upon the subject Of the existing cen.
dition Of Affairs In that State. II does not
appear that any representations concerning
the necessity for troops were made either
10 the Secretary or General Sherman In adj
dition TO what has heretofore been pre-
sented for consideration, but an urgent
appeal 10 being made for the s~tationing Of
army forces throughout the State In such
manner a. will prevent all possibility OF
disturbances during the campaign OF the
coming election. The opinion In army
circles here l. that there are already sum.
cient troops stationed In South Carolina
10 protect all citizens In their rights. IL
10 probable, however. that the statements
Of the delegation from that State will be
considered at . Cabinet meeting on Tues
day next. at which Attorney General Taft
will be present. The views Of the Govern
msnt, at least TO this time, have been that
every necessary precaution has been taken
for the protection Of voters In sections OF
the Southern States where responsible rep
reservations have been made that their
rights are In danger.
