M'LAUR1N MAKES STATEMENT.
Save He is Out for Long Term and Will Discuss Situation With Tillman.

Save He is Out for Long Term and Will Discuss Situation With Tillman.
 Charleston, S. C., May 31.-Senator John l.. McLaurin has issued an ad- dress to the people of the state from his home in Bennettsville. He opens by saying that the recent address to the people by Senator Tillman makes it necessary that he should say some thing in explanation of his motives and actions, and that had it not been for Senator Tillman's intrusion upon the Gafney meeting there would have been no necessity for it. A joint debate was precipitated by him contrary to my wishes and of the gentlemen who inyit- ed me. 1t is too late now to consider whether it was wise or unwise, and the people must judge between us.
 I desire to announce that candidacy in opposition to the senior senator for the unexpired long term and I will discuss with him in fair and reputable manner the national issues of the day and leave it to you to judge who can more honestly and honorably represent you in the United States senate. Tn 1897 was elected to the senate as q democrat and I am still democrat,
 Senator McIaurin says that his re- cent Greencille speech gave to the peo- pie the reason for his official actions since 1899, but that the address of Sen ator Tillman makes it necessary for him to say he is a democrat, and con tinues:
 The senior senator charges that I am a republican and was organizing q republican party here. If he believed this charge why did he consent to run with me in a democratic primary I T denounce the charge as an i1ifa- nous falsehoed and the senior senator known what he says is untrue. He charges that the dispensing of the pub- lie patronage has been placed at my disposal of unlimited money is fur nished me by republicans to aid in the scheme of the organization of a new party. I denounce this as a malicious falsehood.
 The people shall judge of our de mocracy, and not the senior sena tor. The senior senator is addicted to maB- ing reckless and false charges against others which he never substantiates An honest man is always chary in charging others with dishonesty: the thief often cries Stop thiefp He is an ambitious boss and habitual disturber of the political peace and harmony of 1 South Carolina"
 Senator McLaurin closes as follows;
 Fellow citizens There never will be anything like unity or quietude among our people until he is re1egated to pri- yate life. His incendiary appeals to class hatred and prejudice, such as he made at Gaffney to factory opera lives, and his dictatorial spirit and ut. terances will keep up dissensions and discord in the state. With the aid of the people I will make an heroic ef- fort to break down bossism with it's train of political evils, and I invite all | good citizens to assist me to inaugu rate an era of free thought, free speech and independence of action in South Carolina The senator in the quietude of a farmers life in Edgefeld county could be viewed as a pitchfork. less pigmy and a blessing to the state :

 ure in Diplomatic Drama.
 New York. May 31.-There is no of fciaI information from Downing street, says the Trfbune's London correspond ent. but it is generally believed that the China question has been settled. It has been a long chapter of diplomacy, with nearly twelve months of intrigue, but the end has been reached without the partition of China or any disturb ance of the relations of the powers. The German emperor has probably scored more heavily than anybody else He has obtained from England joint rights for the guardianship of the Yang Tse Valley without estranging Russia, and Von Waldersee has been in command of the allied forces and the most con- spieuous figure in a complex diplomat ic drama, in which ingenious -by-play has not been lacking. What England has gained from the alliance with Ger many is not apparent to close obsery- CTS Her interests have not been es- sentiaIly different from those of the United States but her diplomatic work has been done more elumsily.

The captaincy of the Boston League club
now lies between Herman Long and Fred

Ted Sullivan. the well-known base ball
promoter, thinks the National League will
make mistake If it goes back to the old

would be moved UP five feet, the batters
would be afraid to step into the box. what

five feet"

refuse to deal with the new American AS

of the demands made by the players. This
