hours the beast ripped things up

tree, picked up his machete, sneaked
up to the beast cautiously, and, using
the big knife as an axe, brought the
heavy blade down on the brute

cARoLINA's CAMPAIGN.
TiIImRn Not to Take "A Hand In the
SeuatOrship Fight.

Washington, May 2s.-The dispatches
sent out from Columbia relative to the po-
sition that Senator Tillman will take part
in the approaching primary election for
United States senator have been much dis
cussed here.
The claim that he will take an active
part in favor OF any Of the candidates
seems to have little foundation. His rea-
tion with Gov. Ellerbe have not been
strained and the two men are on more than
friendly terms. Senator Tillman has given
out no authorized statement, but those
who know the senator and have talked
with him say that he is well pleased with
the appointment of Mr.. McLaurin to sue
ceed Senator Earle and that he will not be
pulled into the coming fight as he was In
the last hours of the last primary Sena-
tor Tillman has never considered the de-
feat of Gov. Evans as in any wise rebuke
TO himself. IL will be recalled that he
was urged to do something in Gov. Evans
behalf by those prominent in the reform
ranks and some of them afterwards pulled
off their Endorsement of Gov. Evans, which
did not please the senior senator. 1t seems
to be pretty well settled and Is generally
understood among the Tillman men here,
that If Gov. Evans makes the race for the
Senate IL will be without the assistance OF
Senator Tillman and the state administra-
tion. Senator Tillman takes the position
that the fight is one among the reformers
and that Il would be improper for him TO
take an active part In 1t.
The state administration will be solldly
for Mr.. MeLaurin and with his own pop
ularity the newly appointed senator seems
from this point Of view to have the best
of IT.

FRANCES BIMETALLIsrs.
MckinIey's Election Looked Upon
With Great Satisfaction.

Paris, May 2S,-There was 400 delegates
present to-day at the annual meeting of
the National Bi-metallic League. Deputy
Feigurol presided.
M. Threy, secretary of the league, read
the report. 1t was set forth that the lead
ing event of the year was the election of
President Mckinley which gave great
satisfaction to bi-metallists. He dwelt up
on the necessity of bringing the movement
to definite issue before the expiration
of President McKinley's term of office.
The report added: 1.-The English horizon
is less dark than asserted. The pres
ence of the American delegates in
Paris may greatly hasten a solution
of the question:
An elaborate banquet was given the del
egates of the National Bimetallic League
at the Hotel Continental this
evening. Senator Wolcott, Former
Vice President Stevenson and Gen.
Charles II. Paine, the American commits
sioners, occupied the seats of honor.
Among other guests were NJ. Meline,
the premier; Former Premier Ribot, SEN
ator Emile Loubet, president of the SEN
ate, and Senator Magnin, director of the
Bank of France.
M. Threy secretary of the league, re-
read the report which had been submit
day.
Deputy Fougoirol, who presided at the
annual meeting, now spoke hopefully of
the prospects of the movement.
Premier Melne dwelt at some length
upon the inconvenience caused by fluctua-
tions in exchange and the Importance of
solving this problem. He said that
France alone could not settle the ques-
ton. The cooperation of other powers
was necessary, but the United States had
now brought the matter before Europe in
a decisive way by sending commissioners
whose ability and knowledge of the sub
ject enabled them to speak with author
ity.
France, under these circumstances, 4"
he said, in conclusion, will support the
efforts of the United States for the sue
cess of great cause"
Before resuming his seat, the premier
gave the toast: THE Union of France and
the United States, and the health of the
most worthy American representatives.
M. Threy read a large number of tele-
grams of congratulation from foreign BIZ
metallic leagues. None of the American
commissioners spoke.

Charlotte, N. c., May S.-The Presby-
terian assembly was in session by o'clock
this morning.
The answers to oYertures were read, and
the report of the committee was adopted
with the exception of an amendment or
two.
DR.. Sanders, chancellor of the assemblys
home at Fredericksburg, addressed the as
sembly in behalf of that institution. The
standing committees report is unfavorable
to the continuance of the school in connec-
ton with the orphanage. Drs. Hoge and
Sanders are pleading for the school.
The feature of the day in fact almost
of the week, was the address delivered by
Hon. w. M. Cox on THE Influence of the
Westminster System of Doctrine, Worship
and Policy on Civil Liberty and Respon-
sible Government"
Mr.. Cox was given an ovation at the
close of his address.
The most important subject of the as
sembly was settled this afternoon. 1t
was the question of the asesmbly's home
and school at Fredericksburg, Va.
DR.. Hoge Is president of the board of
trustees, and DR.. Reid, chairman of the
committee that investigated the condition
of the home and school. After very
spirited discussion on the recommenda-
tion of the committee to separate the
home and school from the Fredericksburg
college, the report was adopted, and 1t
was authorized by the assembly that the
college should have no more to do with
the home and school. The church would
look 20 the latter, but the college would
look out for itself hereafter. There was
much feeling over this matter.
The rest of the day was taken up in the
reading of regular order reports and pass
ing on the same.
