The South Carolina Senator Scores Iillman
and His Followers for Reading Him
Out OF the Party.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. G.-The DEM
ocratic state executive committee to-
day received Senator McLaurin's re-
ply to their action July 18th, con-
demning his course in the senate and
demanding his resignation.
In the course OF the letter Senator
McLaurin writes:
81 hold my seat by the Democratic
voters of South Carolina. | recognize
no authority but theirs; take no or
ders from any source but them and
shall In due course appeal to them
for judgment on my course as SEN
ator, my character as a man and a
Democrat.
Personally am indifferent toyour
action, because nobody has made
you my masters or censors, and re-
gard what you have done as merely
expressing the malice and fears of one
individual, Senator II. b. Tillman.
But for this always evil and indecent
influence, ordinary respect for the
prOprieties would probably havepre-
vented the four of you. who are my
declared competitors for the seat !
now have the honor to occupy, from
attempting to use the power entrust-
ed toyou by your party to remove a
rival from your path.
~ shall ask the people to decide
between the man who has tried to
help the cotton factories, open the
highways OF commerce and command
for the Democratic party the conf
dence and respect Of the labor ele-
ment, both north and south, and the
man whose conduct and record has
been to sink the party into disrepute
and impotence. | shall ask them to
say whether they prefer the senator
who has tried to retain for South
Carolina the honor and dignity won
by a long line OF illustrlous souls and
glorious deeds, or the senator who
has postured as buffoon and bully
and who proclaimed on the floor of
the senate that he represented "A con-
stituency of ballot box suffers and
murderers who wanted their share of
the stealage.
81 desire to proclaim to the world
that you do not represent the intelli-
gence of the Democracy of the people
of South Carolina, and to you and
Senator Tillman that he has never
been my master and shall never be;
that he shall not escape the veng-
eance that must surely fall upon him
when the people have been made to
understand his motives, his methods,
his debased character and his shame

tor of free government, the reserved
patriotism and common sense Of the
people / make appeal against par

Men OF Chicago, Joliet and Milwaukee De-

Plttsburg, Aug. 1.-THE iron mas
ters ARE tonight claiming victory In
the great steel strike. They base
their claim upon the refusal of the
Amnlgamated men ut South Chicago,
Juliet and Bayvicw to obey the gen
eral strike order Of President Shaffer,
and their success In naming opposl-
tion In other plants where IL was an
ticipated there would be serious

claims Of victory with the assertion
that their cause IL making satisiac-
tory progress and that they will
show themselves muster of the sltua-
tion before the strike has progressed
much further. They do not conceal
their disappointment Mt the refusal
Of their western brethren to join the
strike, but none Of the leaders would

STRIKE ORDER IN FORCE.
Mill Operators Win Move their Plants from
Strike Infected Districts.

Pittsburg, Aug. 10.-The great steel
strike is on. The general order OF
Pres. Shaffer, Of the Amalgamated
association, became effective today
and the workers left their places to
return at some indefinite time In the
future, either victorious over the iron
masters or In humble defeat. The
order to strike was generally obeyed
wherever the workers were orga-
nized and enrolled In heIodges Of the
Amalgamated association, but 1t
will be Monday before an accurate
count can be made of the men who
have gone out. A great majority Of
the mills close down on Saturday and
reopen Sunday night, and through
this the strength Of the contesting
81 ies will be furnished by the number
OF men who return to work tomor-
row or Monday.
The strike development Of the day
was an official announcement from
the American Tin Plate company to
the effect that certain plants OF the
company which were crippled by the
strike would be dismantled and re-
moved to Monessen.
Almost at the same time 1t was Of
ficially announced that the plant OF
the American Steel Hoop company
at Warren, Ohio, would be torn do wn
and removed to some community
more favorable to the corporation.
The order OF yesterday directing that
the Dewees-Wood plant at McKees-
port, he dlsmantled was already be-
ing carried out, and the announce
ment from the American Tin Plate
company created a marked impress
sion.
Representatives OF the strikers In
sisted that the company was not In
good faith In the announcement, and
even II Ii were IL could not enforce
such methods. Opponents of the
strikers counted the plan another
victory and declared that the strike
must fail In the face OF such decisive
action.

Will bc commenced early next month,
aud that supplies and men are now

"Well, ! do not care to hc quoted

the road will follow the survey made

The assessed valuation ofthe sheep
In Montana last year was SlO,0O0,O00
and it is estimated that in the neigh
borhood of S32. .OOO,OOO IL invested in
the sheep industry In this state.
The Billings market this year
proved a disappointment to many
wool gro wers who took their clips
there ami although many excuses are
made for the low prices the fact re-
mains that n difference Of two cents
was palpably In evidence during the
season between Great Falls aud Bill
ings markets.
The Great Falls Tribune In an mr.
ticle on the relative merits Of the two
markets says:
"While speaking Of this matter it
will be well to go into n few figures.
During the season Of 1900 Fred War
rem, Brooks Bros, John Phillips and
A. c. Greene. well known sheep men in
the Judith sold their wool In the
Great Falls market and received On
an average 16 cents for 1t. This year
they thought they would try the Bill
ings market. They did. and Mr..
Warren received for his clip 13I cents
and the Others in proportion. On the
transaction, or experiment rather,
Mr.. Warren figures that he lost at
least $500.
"There IL another thing that IL Of
interest In connection with the mar
ket of Northern Montana and which
probably better illustrates the con-
dltions here than anything else. Bow
er Bros, in the Judith were anxious
to test the relative worth Of the two
great wool markets Of the state aud
upon the result was to depend where
their wool should go In the future.
One-half Of their clip was sent to
Great Falls and the other half to Bill.
ings. When the expense OF getting
the two clips to their destination was
taken into consideration the price Of
the market was to be the deciding
argument. The Great Falls clip sold
for 14b cents "A pound and the Billings
clip at lax cents n pound. 1t is need
less to say that In the future all the
Brewer Bros, wool will come to
Great Falls"
A number OF sales took place on the
Billings market on August 6. though
prices were rather unsatisfactory.
