The State Must Keep Order.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Nc
Laurin had long conference with
Postmaster General Smith to-day with
reference to the Greenwood affair. The
result of the conference is that, as there
appears to be no danger of any further
trouble there, the Government of the
United States will not interfere, but
leave the matter to be dealt with by
the State authorities.
Senator McLaurin showed The Post
master General II telegram he received
today from Mayor w. A. Smith, of
Mccormick.
Hon. J. l.. McLaurin, Washington,
ID. e.: Tolbcrt was advised to leave
because there was an element here we
could not control. Mails have not been
interfercd with-Mrs. Tolbert, post
master, is attending to duties as usual.
She is respected by all parties, and no
insult to her will be permitted. Advise
Toibert's continued absence.
w. A. SMITH, Mayor.
This telegram made profound im-
preston upon the Postmaster General,
and after his talk with Senator McLau-
rim he understood the situation in
South Carolina much better than he
did previously. 1t is evident that the
Administration realizes that the Toll
berts arc IL disturbing element in
Greenwood County, and under existing
conditions there is nu nccti iOr Federal
interference. AS previously stated the
Republicans i'll South Carolina have
practically forgotten all about the
Phoenix riot in their midst and hurry
attack upon the postotlicc pie counter.
WASHINGTON, November 19.-United
States Marshal Melton, of South Caro-
lima, had conference with Postmaster
General Emory Smith regarding some

troubles in that State were not dis
cusscd. Mr.. Melton stated positively
his personal belief that the Tolbcrts
would not be safe If they returned to
their State. 81 have no hcsitaiion,"
he said, Gin saying that it would be
very unwisc for them to return until
after the excitement has subsidized.
That may be q matter of weeks"

that no one went there except on duty. The life was on deck; those on duty
very simple meals, were trying to get some sleep. stretched out and wedged in
between torpedo tubes and rails or in some place that prevented their sliding
around. Such was the life on board when tn. lack of preparedness at the
opening of the wr necesstated the use of torpedo-boats for anything and eve
rytmng except legitimate torpedoboat service And when proper vessels to
perform the duties to which the torpedo fleet had been diverted were provided
it was too late. But although the boats we're worn out by the arduous service
they had been through, both the boats and their crews had established records
for endurance which excited the admiration of foreign experts in such mat
tiers.
In describing the life on shore the ablest correspondents nt the country have
worn out lead pencils most industiousy, and in this line one of the hardest
workers has been Frederic Remington, who describes and Illustrates the life
with the Fifth Corpsin Harper's Magazine for November. He is las yet una
BILE to decide which is the housekeeping in mud-puddle, being confined on a
troopshp or shot at. They are oil irritating, and when done on an empty
stomach, with object of improving ones mind, they ARE exravagsnty expen-
sme; but as they satisfied a life of longing to see men do the greatest thing men
are called upon to do, he is content. He thinks the direct and only cause of
all the prvahon and delay which became % notable in Skaters operations was
due to the fact that the command was sent into the field without the proper ra
tic of pack mules. Before San Juan Hill the men were on hafrations on ac
count of lack of supplies, and were out of tobacco, which is very necessary to
the welLbeing of a soldier.
Towards the end of the fight, when he was gongt to the rear the sight of the
road was indescribable. All the broken splnts, bloody bodies, hopeless, help
less suffering, which drags its weary length to the rear, are so much more APP
paIing than anything else in the world that words do not mean anything to
one who has not seen it. Men hafnaked, men sitting down ON the roadside
utterly spent men hopping on one foot with a rife for a cutch, men out of
their minds from sunsHoke, men dead, and men dying. The story of the
bravery, patience, and fortitude of our men is admirably illustrated and de-
scmbed in Mr.. Remingtons article.

ON A ToRPEDo-BoAT DURING THE WAR.

When the United States Torpedo-boat PORTER started across to Havana on
April 22d, it was rough-rough even for the Gulf Stream-and that day and
night showed that the life on board was going to ID e a struggle with nature-a
test Of physical endurance. The Porters motion in such q sharp sea runs near
y 1.-THE time oHthe coast of Cuba was, to say heeast, uncomfortable The
roll was from thirty TO fmy-fvc degrees each way, and twenty-fve a minute,
with occasionally an extra roll thrown il, which went beyond the registering
limit OF the indicators, and made one wonder why the boattook the trouble to
come back, it seemed so much easier just to go on all the way round.
To rest and sleep in such conditions as very difficult, and only possible
when physical exhaustion overcome every other feeling, and then the sleep was
so broken that it il-ftted one to renew the exactng duties of handling the deli
cate mechanisms of the boats, or exercise the cool Judgment and instant deci-
sion demanded by the service.
The discomfors and the trials borne by the crewso of these little crafts dur
ing this period will never be known, nor could be appreciated by any persons
but those who wereln the service. Some idea of them can be CLEANED from
the article o "Torpedoboa Service that Lieutenant j. G. Fremont, U. S. N,
commanding the Porter, contributes to Hapers Magazine for November.
In addition to the other sufenngs of the men, the heatbelow deck was such
