Washington. April. 22.-General Nj. c. But

is inclin ed TO regard the attitude of senator
Mcaurin with approval. In long Interview
today with the Daily News correspondent he
declared he could not predict the effect Of Nc
Laurius speech In South Carolina. but says:
"IfI had been in the senate should have
voted Just as McLaurin did, with the excep-
tion perhaps of his vote for the ship subsidy
bill. South Carolina subsidized every rail.

course was pursued In behalf OF every railroad

The federal government certainly subsidized
to the extent OF millions and hundreds OF mil
lions the Union Pacific railroad, undoubtedly
by the vote and help OF good democrats.

gracefully from some democrats and some so
called democrats TO question dcLaurin 8

General Butler does not fear the cry oil
Imperialism and says that constitutional
gism, socialism. anarchism and such heresies
and iallacies. Said he:
What the south needs now more than ever
IN It's history, Is broad, liberal craftsmanship,
which suggests more than mere obstruction
and opposition conformining In all respects
TO constitutional limitations, but getting In
line with the progress and development o
the age. We are just emerging from the para
lyZlng effects Of recoDstruction with all It's
horrors and crimes, and should turn our face
to the front and contribute to the state and
national power on all legitimate lines. be-
lieve McLanrin and many other young men
OF the south are in harmony with this course,
and, therefore, his course has my approval.
The democracy, In my judgment, made a
fatal blunder when IL permitted the repuoli'
cans TO appropriate 10 their own
use the question growing out of the
Spanish war. The democrats did as much Ia
bring about that war as the republicans and
should have claimed their share OF It's results
aud consequences. For myself am rejoiced
that the crust Of our national Isolation has
been broken and that we can take our proper
place among the nations of the eartb.''

Special to The State.

Charleston, April Ex-senator McIaurir
came back at Senator Tillman this afternoon
IN hot interview, defending his course iL
the senate and explaining his vote on the
ratification Of the Paris treaty and also his
seeming plagiarism of the Rev. Van Dykes
sermon. He refuses to meet Senator Tillman
on the stump.
The Interview speaks for itself and is as
follows:
~ have only this TO say in reference to
Senator Tillman's interview. SO far as his
personal attack on me Is concerned, the pub
lie prints are not the place to reply. neither
court nor desire his friendship or good
some one else to be drawn into controversy
with him. am ready to do my own fighting
and want other people to do the same"
Concerning bis vote on the Paris treaty
Senator McLaurin said:

the Democrats against the ratification OF the

Standing of the Clubs,
WHATS A CROWD IN NEW YORK?


A quarter Of a, million visitors ar.
really needed to give New York a
crowded appearance.
The addition of $4,000 strangers to al
most any other city in the country would
be noticeable. New York has frequently
shown that she can absorb even 100, 900
people without much changing the APP
pearance of her streets. And yet New
York is normally one Of the most crowd
ed of cities.
The explanation of this power of alb
sorption is found in the shape of the
CITY, the distribution of it's business in
terests and the fact that every one is
on the move. The crowds arriving in
New York usually separate in short
time. The two-minute "L' service and
the -six-seconds Roadway of the surface
lines soon relieve any congestion. The
retail, wholesale and residence sections
are so distributed that crowd soon
finds itself scattered from the Battery to
Harlem. The ferries are stretched along
so many miles of streets that only
fraction of the crowd can possibly ge:
together.
The great hotels are widely scattered.
One group caters to the pleasure seek.
ing crowd, another to the business man,
while the resident hotel population 3

Brave Puppy Finds an Admitting Own

Battle.
Especial to Ineer Mountai

Especial to Ineer Mountain)
Anaconda, June 14-Four weeks ago
Garry Nugent bought a dog that he had
never seen. 1t was puppy but a few
days old. Garry wanted his choice of
the bunch. The puppies were born un-
der an old barn in the rear Of the Elec-
trio Light Co.'S office, and until this
morning none of them had ever
emerged from beneath the floor, so far
as is known.
This morning Garry went down to see
how they were getting along. and while
he was there the mother of the pups
came up with something in her mouth.
Garry says she had a piece of meat in
one side and piece of corn bread in the
other. Anyway, she disappeared through
the hole. She was chased to the en-
trance by noisy pug that stopped at
the entrance to bark One of the pup
pies wobbled forth to give it battle. and
while the two were engaged in a morn
ing fight, Garry put his feet over the
hole and when the pup came back he
picked it up and carried it off.
Garry said that pup was undoubtedly
the best in the bunch, and that's the one
he wanted Garry told the story to ev-
cry listener he could find.

Anaconda Policemen Happy as Larks
in Their Spotless Uniforms and
Handsome Cherry Clubs,
Especial to Infer Mountain.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, June IA solitary police
man was seen shortly after dark las:
evening standing under the glare of an
electric lamp, carefully brushing his
clothes.
A nearby pedestrian, thinking that
the officer had been involved in scrim-
mage with an evil-doer, passed as close
to the officer as he could without at
totracting attention. but was surprised
to find that not single speck or spot
marred the exterior of the officer as he
gayly whistled 1.-THE Girl of Dundee"
and twirled his new club, stopping now
and then to apparently look at dis
play in some show window, but really 10
admire his new uniform in the mirror
behind the goods.
1t has been reported by several per-
sons that those cherry clubs, although
new and nice, are just as hard as tibet
old stick that Frank O'Brien is so proud
Of. No one cares to know how they
came by their knowledge, for all have
silent thoughts and memories Ct
O'Brien's club, and are hoping that since
the arrival of the new cap, Night Chief
O'Brien win be little more tender
hearted.
1t is regarded as a certairsy that
shining new brass buttons and spotless
blue clothes tend to increase the good
nature of a man, at least until the new
ness wears off.
