CARoLINA'S ELECTION CASES.
AN EFFORT TO INTEREST PREsI-
DENT MKINLEY.

He Promises to Look Into the Matter.
Republican Senator'S Also Rather
Shy about Entering on an Inves-
tigation For Fear 1t Might BE EN-
tended Into Other states-Dr. LatI-
mer Tells the President of His At
tItude in His Candidacy For Inter-
state Railroad Commissioner.
Washington, March 11.-An effort was
made to-day to personally interest Presi-
dent Mckinley in the contested election
cases from South Carolina, to be present
ed in the coming congress.
]. f. Jones, the republican contestant
from the Fifth district, has been in Wash
ington several days with his counsel,
Earnest F. Cochran, of Anderson. They
have been in consultation with Senators
Hoar of Massachusetts, Chandler of New
Hampshire and Hawley of Connecticut,
as to the advisability of pressing a res
oluuon providing for a general investiga-
ton of the election laws in South Caro-
lima Certain senators hesitate to go into
the scheme, because they do not know
where the investigation would stop. 1t
might be extended to take in a number
of republican states.
Speaker Reed was also consulted by the
South Carolina contestant and his attor-
ney, and he said he would prefer to look
into the subject further before committing
himself to any course of procedure other
than that of referring the contests TO the
committee on elections, when the new
House organizes.
Mr.. Jones and his attorney went to the
white house to-day with Senator HaWley
and had a brief interview with the Presi-
dent on the subject. The time was so
short that the situation was hardly con-
sidered. 1t was stated very briefly, and
the President, without committing him
SELF said he would look into the matter
further.
Among the Presidents callers to-day,
were DR.. ]. p Latimer of South Carolina
who is an applicant for the Office of com
missioner Of railroads, now held by Gen
Wade Hampton. DR.. Latimer was accom-
panied by NJ. S. Farmer of North Caro-
lima, whose wife is cousin of Cousin"
Frank Osborn, and Judge Pace of North
Carolina. DR.. Latimer told the President
he was an applicant for the railroad COM
missionership, but he wanted it understood
that although he is a republican, he does
not want to be placed in the attitude of
antagonizing Gen. Hampton. He added
that II there is any probability Of Gen.
Hampton being retained, he will not seek
the appointment. The President replied
that he has not had time to consider any
of those matters up to the present time.
Mr.. Farmer notified the President
that he is an applicant for the Office of
second auditor Of the treasury, now held
by Col. J. Stobo FaiTow of South Caro-
lima.
DR.. Sampson Pope who ran for COVER
nor of the Palmetto state on an indepen-
dent ticket. is also an applicant for the
same authorship.
Loomis Bialock of Newberry wants 20
be marshal of South Carolina
There are many applicants for the Of
fee of postmaster at Columbia, the state
capital including ex-Postmaster Clayton,
f. w Screven, and George Higgins
There are so many factions among the
republicans in South Carolina that the
President cannot determine which wing
to recognize.

TIDEWATER GO. TAKEN IN.
It's Business VIII BE Conducted by
the Standard Hereafter.

It's Business VIII BE Conducted by
the Standard Hereafter.
The Standard Oil Company has taken
charge of the property of the Tidewater
Oil Company in Savannah. The handsome
building occupied by the Tidewater Com
pany on Bay street will be disposed of
and the business, which has been handled
by the latter company, will be conducted
from the headquarters of the Standard Oil
Company.
The Standard Oil Company secured con-
troll of the Tidewater Oil Company several
years ago, but did not combine the two
businesses at once. Since then the bust
ness of the Tidewater Company has been
gradually merged into that of the Stand
ard.
Savannah and Charleston are the only
two places in the south where the Tide
water Company has been doing business
under it's own name for some time. The
books and accounts of the Savannah and
Charleston offices have now been trans
ferred to the Standard Oil Company,
which will now conduct the entire bust
ness in its own name. 1t is supposed that
the reason the Standard did not take en-
tire charge of the business of the Tide
water Company when it first secured con-
troll was on account of the antagonistic
feeling to the Standard in many quarters,
1t being generally regarded as one of the
greatest trusts in existence.
Unless some private party establishes an
agency here for some of the smaller COM
panies, the people of Savannah will have
TO buy all their oil from the STANDARD
hereafter.

Mr.. W. Fl. Wright, trainmaster at way
cross for the Plant system, was up among
his Savannah friends yesterday.
Now that there is so much talk of the
formation of a new or the rganization
of the old Southern States Freight Asso-
citation, il might be interesting to note
some of the facts about the present asso-
citation. 1t costs about $4,000 a year for
it's maintenance. The expense of main
tanning it is not assessed according to mile
age. but is based on the competitive bust
ness handled by the several roads which
are members.
Col. H. S. Haines is the sixth commits
sioner. His predecessors were Messrs.
Ogden, Talcott, Virgil Powers, Carter and
Stahlman. The association was originally
known as the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association. Under different
titles, it has existed for twenty-one years.
AS a general proposition, it may be said
that the roads in the south have main
tanned established rates better than the
lines in any other section of the country.
For some years past the agreement has
been very stringent. Often the association
has appeared to be on the verge of break
ing, but after repeated conferences be-
tween the members, some new agreement
would be reached and signed.
