An Interesting Letter From the Ma
tien's Capital. 49,
EDITOR SHEAF: The newspapers
OF to-day announce under big head
lines the resignation of B. R. Tillman
and John l.. McLaurin, United States
Senators from South Carolina. The
former, better known in the country
as "Pitchfork. Tillman", has grown
exceedingly nervous and irritable
over the position taken by his col
league in regard to the question OF
expansion, and charged Senator Me-
Laurin with being a traitor. to his
party. A Joint debate was the result
and during the speeches Mr.. Nc
Laurin chided Mr.. Tillman, saying,
benjamin, the Tillmanite, will never
be found resigning anything At
this Senator Tillman arose and said
he would resign right then and there
if McLaurin would do the same. 1t
was agreed; and now the resigna-
tions of two senators lie before their
governor. Both will go before the
people to seek vindication and en-
dorsement as to the stand they have
taken in regard to certain political
issues.
Adjutant General Corbin is about
to make trip to the Philippines in
the near future for the purpose OF
making personal investigation OF all
the departments that come under
his direction, and incidentally to
learn anything else that may be Of
value to him in the conduct of his
Office. The General is a man OF al
most more than ordinary size and
has seen during his life many trials,
but has evidently overcome them all.
He is now we'll advanced in years,
but that does not seem to detract
anything either from his robust
strength or from his power OF charm
and warm personality. His latest

fall months, unless the Generals triI

ceremony.
Talking of Gen. Corbin, I may
mention that he is prominently
spoken of as the person to be named
as the representative of the United
States at the formal coronation O.
King Edward VII. His services tc

and the close friendship existing be
