McLAURIN On EXPANSION.
Impression of His Speech
I'm the Senate Last Week.

Correspondents Impression Oh Ills Speech
in the Senate Last Week.
The Washington correspondent of
the Greenville News, writing under
date of last Friday, sends that paper
the following:
Senator McLaurin's address in the
senate on the subject of expansion,
was listened to with interest by the
senators, who have high regard for
the ability of the South Carolina SEN
ator. Several South Carolina mem
bers were on the floor during the
speech, and many South Carolina peo-
pie thronged the galleries. The sena-
tor took broad stand in favor of
the policy of expansion, and deprecat-
ed the positions assumed by the lead
ers of the Democratic party upon this
issue. In bis views, he is greatly at
variance with his colleague, Senator
Tillman, who is not an advocate of
expansion but is diametrcally op-
posed to the policy of the administra-
tion upon this important issue. New
ertheless, Senator McLaurin did but
express his honest opinion in regard
to this subject. South Carolina peo-
pie coming to Washington say that
the expansion sentiment in South Car
olina is very strong, and many 70 so
far as to say that the position of Sen
ator Tillman on the issue is not en-
dorsed by majority of the people of
the state. The expansion sentiment is
also strong in other southern states,
where, on account of the low price of
cotton, which has prevailed for so many
years, the people are seeking broader
markets for their products. A South
Carolinian in the city the other day
stated that in his opinion Senator Nc.
Laurin's position on the subject OF
the retention of the Philippine islands
would be endorsed by the people of
the state when they have had an op'
portunity to express their judgment
on the subject. The gentleman stated
that Senator McLaurin will be re- elect
ed to the United States senate by a
handsome majority.
During the debate on the Porto
Rican tariff bill, among those who
made speeches, were Representatives
Stokes and Talbert and Wilson, Of
South Carolina. All of the South Car.
olina delegation were opposed to the
passage of the bill. Both Senators
McLaurin and Tillman are opposed to
it and will use their influence against
its passage in the senate. The senti-
ment is strong against its passage in
the senate, and there is some prospect
that it may not be considered during
the present session, or if it is that a
free trade substitute may be passed by
that body. The minority in the SEN
ate, it is said. will resort to all parlla-
mentary means to defeat the passage
Of the measure.

A THIEF AND A LIAR.-The late
Sir Thomas Chambers, an English
judge, was not wit, and laughter
seldom entered the court over which
he presided so solemnly. There is
however, one good story told of him
in The Temple. 1t is to the effect
that prisoner, who was undefended
plead "guilty," and, counsel having
been instructed to defend him at the
last moment, withdrew the plea and
substituted that of "not guilty." with
the result that the jury acquitted him
In discharging the prisoner, Sir Thorn
as is said to have remarked:
''Prisoner, l do not envy your feel
ings. On your own confession you
are a thief, and the jury has found
that you are liar"

proposes thai this period shall be extend
ed to two months SO that no application
for a discharge may be made uEtl TWO
months have passed after the adjudica-
tion.
A difference OF opinion has arisen as TO
whether the discharge OF a bankrupt re-
leases him from the payment OF aiimony,
ard it is proposed to amend the section re
lating to debts not affected by discharge as
follows: 4 discharge in bankruptcy shall
release a bankrupt from all his provable
debts. except such as are due as a tax
levied by the United States, the state,
county district. or municipality IN which
he resides. liabilities for frauds o. obtain
ing money by false pretences or false rep
reservations or for willful or malicious in
jures to the personal property OF another,
or for alimony due or TO become due. or for
the maintenance or support OF wife or
child
Another amendment suggested is hat
relating to corporations. The act as il now
stands does not permit corporation to Ele
d voluntary petition. 1t is now proposed TO
permit corporation 10 file a voluntary
petition and to amend the section relating
TO bankrupts as follows: Any corporation
engaged principally in manufacturing,
trading, printing, publishing, mining, or
mercantile pursuits shall be entitled to
the Denent OF TINS act as NOlntdGN DdHk-
rupt on petition of an officer or stockholder
of such corporation duly authorized either
by the vote of the majority in amount of
the stockholders present at meeting of
stockholders for that purpose or the writ
ten consent of stockholders holding at
least one-half of the stock of such corpo-
ration.
Under the present act it has been held
by the courts that the application by
corporation for the appointment of receiv-
ers is not the equivalent Of general as
signment and, therefore, is not an act Of
bankruptcy. An amendment proposes that
wherever a corporation applies for the ap-
pointment OF a receiver or trustee on the
ground Of insolvency it shall be act of
bankruptcy. Other amendments relate to
process and pleadings. and vary the pres
ent act to some considerable extent, and
all tend TO more efficient administration
Of bankrupt estates.
These are the amendments that have
been suggested by the referees, who, from
the nature of their office, have become IA
miliar with the Bankrupt law, both from
the standpoint of the creditor and the
bankrupt. Other amendments are before
the House and there is one for repeal of
the law entirely. The outcome of it re-
mains 10 be seen.

DISCoRD. IN THE BIG LEAGUE.
An Attempt 10 Get McGraw and Rob-
insOn Away From IT. Louis.

NEW YORK. April Frank De Haas
Robson. President OF The St Louis base
ball club. has been advised Of the fact
that IcGraw and Robinson have been tam
pered with by two club owners in the Ma
tfonal League. 1t is a fact that the tam
pering has been done very much under
cover. and the success Of such methods
depends entirely upon the backbone dis
played by President Robson McGraw
does not want 10 go 10 ST. Louis for two
reasons. One Is that the city is too far
away from his liquor business at BaIti-
more; the other is that he wants to shine
as League manager and cannot DO so at
st. Louis where Oliver Teb6au is in charge.
1t is also fact that McGraw can secure
the active management Of two League
teams nearer Baltimore than St Louis,
and that because of this assurance he is
following instructions given 10 him in Sc
cret by the men who own these two teams
and want McGraw for less money than
Robson is asked TO put up by the Brook
Iyn club
Frank Robson paid cash for Keister as
soon as that player signed a contract with
st. Louis but to date. contrary to the
general belief he has not paid over one
dollar to the Brooklyn club for the services
will be made until these men have signed
with St Louis. Aware of this fact the
two magnates. who have tampered with
McGraw and Robinson contrary TO National
League rules, believe that Robson will
soon become discouraged and ask the
Brooklyn club TO declare the deal off Then
Abel and HanlOn. in a dilemma will be
forced to make a new deal with one OF
the tamperers for considerably less than
what Robson agreed TO pay. Several
moves have been made during the first
week that indicate the existence of a plan
to deprive Robson OF McGraws services
and the exposure of the principal actors
seems to be only a question of few days.
Robson has acted in good faith, it Is
believed. and is still anxious to secure
McGraw and Robinson. He gave assurances
to the Brooklyn people last week that if
the two players did not go to ST. Louis
they would remain out of baseball.
