SENATOR McLAURIN's PLAN.
Will Not Resign, but Make His Fight
Before the PeoDfe

There is no likelihood that Senator Nc
Laurin Of South Carolina will again write
his resignation as member Of the United
States Senate. no matter what course is
pursued by his colleague. Senator TiIlman,
in order to bring about this result 1t is
said that such action would utterly destroy
the plan OF campaign which Mr.. McLaurin
has mapped out. The legislature which
meets in South Carolina next month is the
legislature which reelected Senator TILL
man, and It is regarded as entirely under
his control.
III the two South Carolina senator's were
10 resign today Mr.. Tillman would have a
bed OF down, while Mr.. McLsurin would
nave bed Of rocks" said a weIl-informed
South Carolinian today.
Mr.. McLaurin's hope for reelection is in
new legislature to be chosen before his
successor is elected. II Is said he has al
ways found his greatest success In poll
tics before the primaries, and that Is the
ray he expects to conclude his present
nghr FOR senatorial supremacy In South
Carolina He Will go before the people and
make his fight and will then abide by the
decision But there will be no Resignation
while the legislature Is Tillman organiza-

TO REGULATE ELECTRIC WIRING.
Bill Introduced Similar to One Fa-
yorably Reported Last Session.


Mr.. Mcmillan has introduced bill in the
Senate to regulate electric wiring in the
District Of Columbia. 1t is similar to the
measure reported favorably to the Senate
from the District committee in the last
Congress. This bill was approved by the
District Commissioners.
1t was originally prepared by the Asso-
ciation of Electrical Contractors Of the
District of Columbia, for the protection Of
it's members, in view of the fact that the
use of poor materials and the adoption OF
cheap methods in electrical construction
introduce fire risks. which reflect disparag-
ingly upon the character of electrical work
in general, but which would be substan-
TALLY obviated by a requirement Of law
that such contractors and wiremen must
be examined and licensed.
The Commissioners, in approving the bill,
said:
THE authority to enter premises. as rec
commended in the bill, is necessary In order
to admit of the removal or readjustment of
defective wiring While the building regu-
lations contain rules governing the electric
wiring of buildings. no inspections are made
by the District under those regulations, nor
can they be made until sufficient force is
provided for that purpose. The two in
spectors provided for In the bill would af-
ford material relief in this respect

]. H Robinson. appointment clerk of the
Post Office Department, called on the civil

Welt of amendments to certain of the rules

ed by any President concerning the civil
service.
President Roosevelt has approved a num-
Der Of important amendments to civil serv-
ice rules 2 and 10 recommended by the
civil service commission some weeks ago
and subsequently passed upon as to their
legal aspect by the Attorney General. Prob
ably the most important of them provides
for disseminating the pay of persons found

holding position IN the civil service in
violation of the civil service act and rules
II shall, after notice 10 the person affected
certify 10 the head of the proper depart
ment information of the violation and If
such person be not then dismissed within
thirty days the commission shall give no.
uce OF the facts TO the proper disbursing
and auditing officers, who shall not then
permit to be paid to such person any sal
ery or wages accruing after the receipt of
such notice; provided, that any question of
law which may be thus raised respecting
the power 10 appoint or employ may be
submitted by the President or head of
department to the Attorney General for
opinion.
Rule y. section 2. That no person shall
be transferred from one classified position

GUNBOATS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Twenty-One to BE Built for Service
in the ArchiDelaEO,

The Philippine government is arranging to
construct twenty-one gunboats for service
In and about the archipelago. Commander
Adolph Mark, on duty on the Aslatic sta
ton, has applied to Rear Admiral Bowles,
chief of the bureau OF construction and re-
pair, for sets of plans for these vessels. Ad-
miral Bowles says there are no facilities in
the Philippines for the construction of the
gunboats, and that If they are built in the
orient 1t must be at Hong Kong or in Japan.
In his opinion, the vessels should be built
in American ship yards, and he says they
could be sent to the Philippines without
much difficulty, the same as other small
craft now attached to the Asiatic station
1nasmuch as the expense of the construc-
tion of these new craft Will be borne by the
Philippine government 1t Is for that govern
ment to determine where they shall be built
and it is not at all certain that Admiral
BoWles plan for their construction in the
United States will be followed.

FOUGHT IT OVER
Surviving Officers Celebrate Third
Anniversary of Dewey's
Famous Victory.

Washington, May 1.-The third ami
versary of the battle of Manila bay
was celebrated here tonight at a ban
quet at the Raleigh hotel, participated
in by the officers of the American fleet
who took part in that conflict. These
numbered about rs persons, less than
one-fourth of those who were in the
battle. The greater number Of them
came from stations along the Atlantic
coast from Portsmouth, N. H., to Nor
folk, Va.
The floral decorations were unus-
ually attractive, but four large Ameri-
can flags with the American eagle
and shield as center pieces we're the
feature of the decorations. A picture
on the elaborate menu card gave a
water color picture representing the
fleet as it entered the harbor of Man
lila under fire of the Spanish forts,
and the whole surrounded by a band
of Manila hemp. In the lower portion
of the picture, in a semi-circulac form,
were the words of commad given by
Admiral Dewey to his captain when
the battle began: "You may fire when
you are ready, Gridley."
There were no formal toasts or
speeches. The talk was reminiscent.

REcoLLEcT|oNS OF PEK|N
Soldiers of the Various Nations
Among the Allies
Sized Up.

New York. May AT the annual
dinner of the Loyal Legion tonight
General James II. Wilson made an ad'
dress, devoting his time to anecdotes
and recollections of the Pekin cam
paign. He paid a high tribute to the
United States troops.
1--WE are not a very large contin.
gent" he said, "but we were easily
in the front rank among the allies,
The Russian commander of artillery
told General Chaffee that he took Oh
his hat to our artillery. AS for our
infantry, we'll let me recall a story of
the storming of the walls of Pekin,
wnen the Fourteenth infantry, com
manded by Old Daggett, found itself
under the shadow of the wall. A pri-
vate went to the colonel and said
as he looked critically at the battle
ments above him: L a scale that
wall, colonel All right said Dag
get. go ahead
He went ahead and scaled the wall
and then he hauled the colonel up and
soon had two companies on the wall.
They found there a number of Rus
slams who had got to the top during
hte night, but were afraid to go out
to Sally Port in the immediate vicini-
ty and clear it. Daggett and his men
went to Sally Port, and let in DAILY and
his guns. Then it was all rel
We must not be ~vainglorious
about the American soldier. He is
not a great disciplinarian. His collar
does no always fit just right, and his
leggings may lack a few loops of being
fastened, but when it comes to fight
ing, ne gets there. 1t is my opinion
that the American soldier is the best
killer on the top of the earth"
Wilson paid high tribute to the Jap
anese, saying they were not a healthy
lot to scrap with"
someone asked him about Funston
and General Wilson said he was a
good soldier in spite of the fact that
ne was inexperienced. after his ca
reel IN the Philippines and the capture
OF Aguinaldo,' he said, 81 rejoice that
the president made him a brigadier
general" This allusion to Funston
was the signal for an ovation on the
part OF, the veterans who rose from
tnelr chalrs and cheered for five min
utes. &C.
referring 10 the British soldiers in
CHINA, General Wilson said they were
chiefly ''niggers," as their officers
called them. He said: Great Britain
more war business on her hands
than n can sttond to with white
men. You need not lie awake nights
worrying about England so long as
she has to rely to a great extent on
t~heg.troops Of India and other native
forces. They are very poor material"
