THERE are two stories in South Caro-
ina as to Senator Tillman's attitude
toward the confirmation of Collector
Koester. One Is that he will oppose 1t
and the other that he will not. The
Columbia State thinks he will not for
the reasons ~ on account Of Koester's 8
one-time activity as a lyncher while
Tillman himself favors lynching; (O
that he cannot claim the appointee un-
suitable because he formerly wrote as
vigorously for Tillman as he has since
for McLaurin. There doesn't appear to
be much in the second reason, and 1t IS
hard to believe that the senior South
Carolina senator will neglect so good
an opportunity as this to make row.
Charlotte Observer.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Spartanburg Journal, which paper
is as warm in it's support Of Senator
Tillman as 1t Is bitter in it's opposition
to Senator McLaurin, says that Sena-
tor Tillman filed the Deas charges
against Mr.. Koester. The Washington
correspondent of the News and Cour-
Ter, which paper is now strong sup
porter Of everything Senator Tilman
says or does, reports that the senator
will hands off in the Koester matter on
the ground that as between Deas and
Koester he prefers Deas. With Senator
Tillmans cloest friends unable to agree
as to his attitude on the matter, 1t is
hardly to be expected that the general
public can arrive at more satisfactory
conclusion as to where the senator
stands.

The Senator's md Their Friends.

Washington special of Saturday to
the Charleston Post: Since the epis-
ode In the senate last Monday, both
Sena tors McLaurin and Tillman have
received numerous letters from their
respective supporters. Senator Nc
Laurin has received q large number
Of letters, not only from South Carroll
ma; but from other sections of the
country as we'll. congratulating him
upon his speech. Many of the writer's
also take occasion to congratulate Nc
Laurin upon the "admirabl BILE" manner
In which he controlled his temper dur
ing the taunts Of his colleague. An
amusing feature of the letters received
by McLaurin Is that some Of the wri-
ters, who are would-be candidates for
the United States senate, take occa-
sion to suggest that if McLaurin ten
ders his resignation to the senate that
the senator help them (the writer) to
secure his seat. Senator McLaurin had
a rather amusing experience the 9TH
er morning. He was on a Pennsylva-
MIA avenue car en- route to the Capitol.
There were a number Of congressman
on the car, but they evidently did not
recognize the senator. They were dis
cussing the attitude Of Babcock, of
Wisconsin. who. as is Well-known, Is
not altogether in harmony with the
Republicans on the great tariff issue.
One of the party suggested. "Babcock
and McLaurin ought to go off and form
a party by themselves" A western,
representative replied, with emphasis,
We'll. McLaurin's policy Is mighty
popular in the west. and don't you
forget it."

THE Chinese danger continues to
shoulder with threats to break into a
new eruption at any time. 1t Is on &C
count of Manchuria. Russia seeks 70
secure China's consent to virtual
ownership Of that province and the late
Ii Hung Chang was willing to concede
practically all that Russia asked.
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan are unwilling that Russia should
appropriate this province. Prince
Ching, the successor Of Ii Hung
Chang, is less favorable to the Rus
slams, and is not inclined to endorse
the concessions for which his predeces-
sor was willing. Japan is very anx-
ious to checkmate Russia and would
gladly go to war If she could be as
sured of the support Of Great Britain
and the United States; but there seems
to be the hitch and how the mater is
to be settled remains for future devel-
opments.

German spinners refuse to believe
that the American cotton crop Is short;
but say that If the crop Is really short
it will probably suffice for the unusu-
ally dull market. go. The jury In the
case Of Mrs. Ida Lola Bonine on trial
in Washington during the past few
weeks for the murder Of Census Clerk
Ayers, has returned a verdict of not
guilty. Attorney General Raynor
Is opposed to the idea Of transferring
the Schley matter to congressional in
vestigation. He thinks the trouble can
best be settled in the courts. ......A fast
freight train on the Erie division OF
the Pennsylvania railroad went
through a bridge near Williamsport,
Pa, last Wednesday morning. The en-
gineer, fireman and a brakeman lost
their lives. The bridge had been weak
ened by the flood Of Saturday night.
The American Federation Of La
Dor has adopted resolutions intended to
discourage the connection of its mem
bers with the militia. ......A dispatch
of Sunday reported the Tennessee riv-
er as having reached the 20-foot stage
at Knoxville, and still rising at the

The Schley Verdict.

Although just about what was to be
expected under the circumstances, the
report Of the Schley court Of inquiry
Is not calculated to give great deal Of
general satisfaction. 1t is too much Of
a compromise, and the compromise Is
of a nature that will hardly be tolera-
ted.
Although eXhonorated from the alb
surd charge of cowardice, and vindi-
Gated in the estimation of the public
from all other charges. still the admiral
stands officially guilty of disobedience
and incompetency. and as the matter
now stands, his enemies have been sue
cessful in all that they desired. So long
as the official record upholds their side
of the contention, the naval clique
cares very little what the general pub
lie thinks of the whole matter.
1t cannot be truthfully claimed that
Admiral Schley followed out the de-
partments orders in detail. If he had
done so, the history Of the Santiago af-
fair would nave been written different
ly, and so also no doubt would have
been the report of the court Of INQUIRY
had the precept related to the wisdom
and common sense Of Schley's orders,
rather than to the manner in which
those orders were executed. But it
seems to have suited the inclination Of
the majority of the court to consider
purely the technical questions as to
whether Schley executed these orders
properly. and the report is only to be
considered as a summing up of techni-
cal facts. 1t certainly does not attempt
to deal with the practical value of Ad-
miral Schley's services in the cam
paign.
Admiral Deweys opinion is just what
was to have been expected of the big
broad-minded hero that he is. There
is nothing technical" about it. The
admiral deals with the whole question
from the standpoint Of the results Sc
cured rather than in connection with
the Washington orders by which Schley
was hampered. He seems to consider
the matter as if Schley had been order
ed like himself to find and destroy
the Spanish fleet" and he considers
the final destruction of the fleet as
carrying out of those orders.
In this connection it will not be for
gotten that Admiral Dewey's first act
after destroying the Spanish fleet at
Manila, was to take up and cut the
cable communication with the war Of
flee at Washington. The whole country
understands the motive that prompted
this act. The admiral did not want in
office. He was evidently afraid that
