III the discussion which preceded action
on the resolution Mr.. Hale said that he
did not suppose that any senator believed
that either the Senator from Virginia or
the Senator from South Dakota had been
improperly approached or Influenced.
There was nothing in the association with
those senators-nothing in their public or
private character-which would for mo-
ment Justify the harboring OF a suspicion
OF that kind. He supposed that 1t would
be found ON investigation that these re-
ports, these suspicious that had been
sought to be set afioat. were something in
the nature OF blackmail. and that they
came from other quarters than those
which the committee was to investigate.
and were only stirred up for the purpose
OF calling away attention. 1t was the
stop thief' cry. With that In view, he
thought the committee ought TO consider
all these other subject matters most
thoroughly. and he hoped that the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, would accept any
amendments to his resolutions that would
make II more penetrating. and would en-
able the committee to 90 to the profound

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 2.-There is no

their guns, and Governor Tillman is sat
isflsd the worst is over and order now

Throughout the day th5 governor had
offers of services from several outside
military companies, all OF which he has
declined. The telegraph censorship has
not been discontinued. but the governor
himself passes upon all telegrams, re-
iecting some and changing others. The
sensation of the day here was the re-
fusal OF the Newberry Rifles to remain
stationed at the telegraph ofiice

notice to the governor of their resigna.
tion because, as they said, scrutiny Of
the private affairs of citizens of South
Carolina is not only distasteful but, in
the judgment of the company, unnec-
essary and calculated to irritate the
people more under the present state OF
affairs.
Governor Tillman was asked tonight
by the correspondent of the Associated
Press how long he would keep the troops
at Darlington. He replied his intention
Was to zee that the conetables received
fair play at the inquest over the bodies
of the men who we're killed last Friday.
He did not propose to let the constables
appear there without protection. He also

nor declares he will hereafter enforce
the dispensary law more rigidly than
ever.
He said: 1.-THE blood which has been
shed at Darlington and elsewhere in the
enforcement of the dispensary law was
a necessary sacrifice to the moloch OF
whisky, and this ineurrection is the last
expiring agonies of the whisky ring"
DARLINGTON, S. c., April 2.-There is
but little news to send out of Darlington
today as nothing OF startling nature
has occurred. There is not more
quiet town in the state than it has been
today. Darlington, however, is still un-
der martial law.
The town is again taking on it's usual
every day appearance and the business
houses are open and trade is being con-
Quoted as before.

Telegraph company, said this evening:
"We deny the right OF Governor Till
man to interfere with interstate COM
merce business. We have taken no
action against him, but later in the day
may Go something in order TO establish
precedent. Our agents at Darlington
and Columbia have been instructed to
forward all messages which the soldiers
stationed in the Office will permit"
None of the telegraph offices in other
