LETTER F2ON THE CAPITAL.
WHAT THE LEGISLATURE is DO
ING AT THE PRESENT SESSION.
Various Matters of More or Less In
terest Discussed by One Vino Is
On the Scene.
Columbia, Jal. 80.

is quite different from Columbia
bright and sunshiny, as has been
quite forcibly demonstrated dur
Ing the past few days. On Satur-
day afternoon it began to snow,
and by aightfall the grosnd began
to get whitened. Sunday was
cloudy and disagreeable. though
most of the snow melted. To-day,
however, the sun burst through
the cloxds with all its pristine
splendor, and Columbia once more;
is bright and beautiful.
The past week has been busy
one in both houses though little
has been done except to kill bills
which a majority consider unwise.
As The lawyers do most of the!
talking, the rest of the legisla-
ture is not unlike jury, save
that sometimes a juryman unex-
pecledly gets up and out-argues
the lawyer.
Som, of the defeated measures
last week died hard, and the ar
sument brought forth brilliant
oratory on both sides, as was the
case when the Moss bill came up
to increase the number Of judicial
circuits TO ten.
The tilt tetween Josh Ashley
and Bolts, the cegro member from
Georgetown, last Thursday caused
much amusement IN the house.
\ bill had been introduced TO pre-
vent the shipping of shad out Of
the State. The negro attempted
to speak against the bill, and
Josh, to have some fun, tried to
confuse him by interrupting. The
dusky champion of the fishermen
more than held his own, however,
and tor one .lhe redoubtable Josh
was beaten al his own game.
Over three hundred bills have
been introduced since the begin
ming of the present session, and
still they come. The vast ma
jority of them, however, will never
appear on the statute books.
The writer had the pleasure last
Saturday of dining with Governor
McSweeney in company with sew
eral senators and members Of the
house. Senator Appelt and wife,
of Manning, were also present; and
also Miss Cooper, a niece of the
Secretary OF State. 1t is needless
to say that the day was delight
fully spent. Mrs. McSweeney is
a charming hostess and, b. the

Washington, d. c., September
18.-The Russian Charg de AT
faires called at the State Depart
ment today and gave assurance
to the government officials that
there had been no change in the
attitude of his government, and
that the Russian troops had been
given instructions to withdraw
from ~the Chinese capital. In a
diplomatic way he represented
to the Acting Secretary of State,
Mr.. Adee, that his government
was aware that answers to the
Russian proprosal for withdraw
al from the Chinese capital had
been received by the United
States, and that the Gar would
like to know what this country
proposed to do in the premises.
Mr.. Adee communicated at once
with Mr.. Griggs, Attorney Cen
eral of the United States, the
only member of the Cabinet in
the city, and he went to the war
room in the White House and had
a long talk with President Nc
Klnley at Canton. AS a result
of this conference, the Russian
representative was informed that
for the present the United States
would retain it's troops at the

Pekin at least until the arrival of
Lii Hung Chang, and the disposal
of the preliminary steps toward
peace negotiations.
Mr.. WI said that the United
States could best act in behalf
of China. The Minister intima-
ted that he had not abandoned
entirely his idea that the United
States could be induced to act in
the capacity of mediator with
the other nations. He pointed
out to Mr.. Adee that the moral
effect of the retention of the Uni
ted States troops at Pekiu would
be good, as the other nations had
been informed of the disinterest-
ed attitude of the United States,
and her participation in further
diplomatic negotiations would
not be looked upon with the
same suspicion as the other ma
tons are inclined to feel toward
each other.
1t developed today thai Ianan
is also anxious to have the Uni
ted States troops retained at The
Chinese capital, and that the
President is inclined to give
some weight to this wish on the
part of Japan, in view OF the
rare spirit of friendship and good
will which that country has
shown repeatedly since Amer
ica's first operations on Chinese
soil. The government officials
do not propose to commit the
United States to a policy which
will place this country in light
of championing the Chinese Gov
ernment, nor will it enter into
the alliance which Japan had al
most formally offered. At the
same time the conduct of Minis
ter WI and the friendly spirit
which Ii Hung Chang has always
shown for the United States dis
poses this country to lend any
moral effect possible. A kindly
feeling of reciprocity toward Ja-
pan is also felt.
While no friction exists be-
tween the State and War depart
ments, the fact that Gen. Chaffee
has reported in favor of with
drawing, and Minister Conger
has taken an opposite view of
the necessities of the situation,
has created an impression that
the War Department favors
withdrawal, while the State De-
partment is forcing the retep-
ton of the troops. There is prob
ably foundation for this impres
sion in some expressions on the
part of the minor officials who
conduct the routine OF the de-
partments, and have belied their
utterances upon the reports re-
spectively of Conger and Chaffee
Although the heads of both de
partments are out of the city, il
is known that they are in perfect
accord, and that the President
has accepted the conscientious
representations of both the dip
lomatic and military representa-
tives of the United States anC
