WILL STAND BY M'LAURIN.
His Charleston Friends Denounce
Executive Committees Action.

Charleston, s. c., July 26.--The
Charleston friends Of Senator McLau-
rim are highly incensed over the action
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee in Columbia Thursday in calling
for the resignation of the junior SEN
ator. They declare the action of the
committee is not only reflection upon
Senator McLaurin, but upon many
others as well-men who have been
lifelong Democrats and who stand
squarely by McLaurin in many. IL not
all, of the ideas which he now advo-
Gates. In the ranks of his following
here, for instance. are numbers of men
who have been prominent in every po-
litical campaign for the last quarter
of century. They belong to Demo-
cratic clubs and have always been
reckoned sound party men. Pending a
final decision by the people, they hold
that there is no power that has the
right to condemn their views as Re-
publican or to read them out Of the
Democratic party That the action of
the State Committee looked to doing
both, they declare, is obvious. They
mean to stand by McLaurin to the end,
and are not at all scared by the ac-
ton of the committee. Senator TILL
mans friends, on the other hand, are
rejoicing and commencing his course.
They think the action of the commit
tee should be considered as first blood
in the fight which is inevitably on be-
tween the two senator's for political
supremacy in South Carolina.

IN HANDS OF LEGISLATURE.
How Alabama VIII Make Rates and
Govern Railroads.

Montgomery, Ala, July 26.-Gen.
George P. Harrison, chairman of the
Committee on Corporations, made re-
port to the constitutional convention
this morning. Section 1 has been
amended so as to deprive the Legis-
lature of the right of creating corpor-
ations and to provide law general in
it's character for the formation of such
corporations as may be necessary.
On free passes and railroad commits
sion differences a compromise was
reached. Section Is says that the pow
er and authority of regulating railroad
freights and passenger tariffs, the To-
cation and building of depots, correct
ing abuses and preventing discrimina-
lions and extortion and requiring rea-
sonable and just freight and passenger
rates are conferred upon the Legisla-
ture, whose duty it shall be to pass
laws regulating freight and passenger
tariffs; prohibit the roads from charg-
ing other than just and reasonable
rates and enforcing them by adequate
penalties
No Passes for Legislators.
Section 16 states that no railroad or
transportation company shall grant
free passage at discount other than
as sold to the public. to any member
of the legislature or to any officer ex-
ercising the judicial functions of state,
and any such member receiving such
pass for himself. shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor and upon conviction shall be
fined not exceeding $500 and at the dis
cretion of the court may be imprison-
ed for six months and upon conviction
shall be subject to impeachment. 1t
continues:
Provided further, that nothing here
in shall prevent a member of the legis-
lature who is a bona fide employee of
a railroad at the time of his election,
from accepting or procuring for himself
or another. not a member of the legis-
lature or other state officer, pass over
the railroads or corporation by which
he is employed"

More Showers Predicted To-day, but
no Prospect of Full Relief.
washington. July 26.-The past "a
hours probably have been the most
favorable to the states of the corn belt
since the existing hot wave began near
ly forty days ago. Rains, generally
light in amount, have fallen in West
ern Kansas, Western Nebraska, South
western Missouri, Central Iowa, Arkan-
sas and a little in Oklahoma and the
prospects seem to be favorable for
continuation tomorrow of more num-
erous showers in the section covered
by these states and territories. On
Sunday showers are looked for in
Northern Illinois and Northern In
diana. Still, there has been no general
rain of which the crops stand in so
much need, and there are no imme-
date prospects of any. On the whole
the weather bureau officials here re-
gard the situation as somewhat i'm
proved. Incidental to the rains the
temperatures officially reported to-day
were somewhat lower than on yester-
day. However, they range from 80 to
100 in the corn belt. Conditions VIII
remain practically the same in the
drought section during Saturday and
Sunday, and the weather will continue
very hot with the possibility OF relief
from scattered thundershowers.

TILLMAN'S LIP oUIVERED.
As He Hurled Invective at McLaurin
for His Actions.

for His Actions.
Columbia, S. c., July Ex-senator
Tillman is unquestionably responsible
for the passage Of the resolution con-
demning McLaurin last night The
Executive Committee was divided
numbers being uncertain as to the
power of the committee to call on the
Senator for his resignation. When Till
man took the floor, the waverers came
over.
state Senator Applet of Clarendon
county. a long time friend of McLau-
rim, was his defender and there were
lively passages between him and Till
man.
The senior senator's lips were quiv-
Arine when he took the floor He told
about McLaurin's voting with the Re
pubhcans. II have remained in my
seat and seen him confer time and
again with the Republicans Now. we
are engineers in charge of the Demo-
cratic train and must take II safely
into the station"
Senator Applet interrupted to ask
If Tillman though the COMMITTEES mad
the right to change the pledge fixed
by the party constitution.
I'm not discussing the pledge now
said Senator Tiiiman. I'm discussing
this resolution that carries the matter
into wider field
az want to say here and now that
McLaurin's friends have two means OF
redress. Peace and harmony won't
come when there are sneaks and
thieves and traitors going around and
hiring Hessians and distributing gold
and buying up newspapers. I am full
ly aware of what l am saying and |
know whereof speak"
Senator Applet interrupted to make a
dissenting comment.
Tillman--"I know that you belonged
to him heart and soul. The cap must
fit you for 1 said nothing about you"
Continuing Senator Tillman said:
"But the issue is not as to men; II Is
as to Republicanisn and the most
damnable kind of Republicanism."
He would have had some respect for
McLaurin, he said, If he had came
squarely out as a Republican. Even
the Republican papers said the doc
trines McLaurin advocated were pure
| ly Republican. "McLaurin is bound to
| the Democratic party. bound to free
| silver. to 16 to 1 or bust. If you will.
| What l want is for you to pass this
resolution and let all Democrats 60
| forth labeled so that they may be
| known to ALL" Then the vote was
| taken. Tillman made them go on rec
ord. The five voting against the reso.
luton were Messrs Applet, Perritt
| Dial, Smith and Miles.

The Hemphill Rumor.

Considerable interest is felt here in
a suggestion that ex-Representative
]. ]. Hemphill of South Carolina may
enter the race for Senator from the
state against McLaurin. In the old
Tillmanite days, Mr.. Hemphill was I'M
derstood to be in the anti-Tillman
ranks, but he has lived here in Wash
ington a good many years now, and
has kept so thoroughly out of partisan
politics in the state that he would
probably be in a position to command
a strong general support if he should
care to make the race for senator.
When serving in the House from South
Carolina, Mr.. Hemphill became mem
Der of the District of Columbia Com
mittee of the House and in that way
became identified with business and
local interests of the District to such
an extent that when his term expired
he remained here and took up the
practice of law. He has been decidedly
successful, has made considerable
money, and has always retained his
citizenship in South Carolina. He
stands exceedingly well among public
men, both Democrats and Republicans.
